(a realization about dialogue formatting, from a comic artist turned novelist.)

One of the first things a novice writer learns about speech tags is that they’re part of the “scaffolding” of prose. They should be largely invisible to the reader: use them when necessary, omit them when not, and be sparing in the application of verbs other than “said”. They serve only the function of clarifying who is speaking when it is necessary to do so.

Except:

Sometimes you might want to use a speech tag in spite of the redundancy. The fact that the reader’s eyes slide right over them is an exploitable property. By slicing a line of dialogue in half with a speech tag, you can force the reader to perceive a meaningful pause between two utterances—and the effect is much stronger than you might get out of an ellipsis or an em dash. Developing an intuition for when and how to do this is a huge part of learning to write dialogue, I think.

(And yes: if you ever wondered, this is exactly same the reason why comic artists sometimes “double bubble” their speech bubbles. Same end, different means!)

do you ever become obsessed with a character and you just go "of fucking course its that one" at yourself because you are so incredibly predictable

[inthedeepeclipse]

Can we stop acting like two people deeply loving each other has to mean they have something romantic or sexual going on? Can we stop talking as if platonic love just can't be that deep? Because that's not true. Platonic love can be just as deep, and sometimes even deeper, than romantic love. What I'm saying is, we need to stop putting romance on this pedestal and act like every other form of love is less important.

friendly reminder to fandoms: you don't have to pair up every single character with someone. people can be appreciated as themselves without being romantically/sexually attached. thank you.

Me, an aroace "can there please be more platonic fanfic?"

Fanfic writers *punching me in the face* "no, how dare you they're gay"

y'all ever see fictional couples so cute and you go like "me and who😔✊" knowing damn well your ass won't be able to handle a relationship so successfully.

Enstars F/O Imagine #12

Stealing your Idol's unit uniform and wearing it yourself. Your Idol sees you wearing the clothing, and they know they should probably tell you to take it off as they need it for themselves soon, but... they can't help and stare at you with adoration. To them, you look absolutely fine in it. Admittedly, they can't help but feel flustered seeing you wear their uniform. How do you make it look so good??

(Sorry for the spam of these specific imagines- I have too many ideas thanks to going through the stories again...)
