Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.

Me and Lyly have been playing with a Soulmate Speakeasy AU for 4oUr. Neither realize they've met their soulmate right away. Albhe's mark blossoms under his clothes so he doesn't see it until later. Nera is convinced her mark "What a Beautiful Voice" has to be about her life's passion of singing and not the first thing her soulmate would say ;3c

The woman, facing him, is surprised. On her back in purple text reads "What a Beautiful Voice." There are tiny hearts around both characters. End]

Happy Halloween Everybody!

[Image Descriptions:

Panel 1 Mori holding up the disguise pen from Sailor Moon: It's Halloween! And you know what that means, right? MtW cosplay drawings!

Drawing 1: Psychonauts - Mori is Raz holding bacon and Lyly is Agent Cruller coming out of their ear

Drawing 2: Amnesia Memories - Both Mori and Lyly are the two sides of Ukyo. Mori holds a camera. Lyly holds a knife

Drawing 3: Jujutsu Kaisen - Lyly is Mahito hold boxes of raisins. Mori is Jogo. Instead of their normal glasses there is one large lens. Their hair forms the volcano on top of his head

Drawing 4: ICO - Lyly is Yorda. Mori is the boy with the horns, holding a stick

Drawing 5: DRRR!! - Lyly is Celty riding her motorcycle. The helmet does not have a visor just like how Lyly is never drawn with eyes. Mori's glasses form the motorcycle and the shadow coming from it is Mori doing a horse pose.

I tried to make looking down Coconut in her circle hammock. I really like how quickly I can make forms and lighting with an ink brush now, but I'm not sure if it was the right decision for this piece;;;

Me and Lyly hung out and ate candy corn today so I drew us sitting in a giant pumpkin bowl full of candy corn -each eating one :3

It's the Hero's Party from my JRPG dream. I couldn't figure out how to get all of us with our weapons so it's just the Hero and Mage fighting. The 3rd is facing the other way because even though I also fought I also had premonitions that made me hesitate during the final Boss fight

[Image Description: 3 characters are posed like they are on the cover of an action series. A man with red eyes has a sword with red ruins on it is in the middle. At the top is a person swinging a rope with a jar that has green ruins on it. At the bottom a person with long hair looks the other way with a pensive expression. End]

I was talking to Lyly earlier and decided to draw one of my old OCs in his glamour form. Sebastian and Luu are 2 parts of the same being. Someday I'll remake his story now that I actually know what I'm doing with it XD

If anyone wants to read what I posted of his story like a decade ago it's Pirate Prince Sebastian on Tapas

[Image Description: A pen and ink drawing of a boy with glowing eyes wearing a crown. A white bird with long head and tail feathers is landing on his shoulder. End]

Another based off the dream where I fought the Demon Lord :D This time it's the Demon Lord creating a new golem. All of the monsters we fought were golems he made. This outfit what I think he'd wear when he's not trying to intimidate the Hero's Party. It's more relaxed than what he wore during the fight

[Image Description: A pen drawing of a man with long hair casting a spell to form a golem that looks like a set of armor. His eyes, pendant, and magic are all drawn with a blue pen. End]

It's been a while since I've draw Albhe's dragon form. I can tell I'm a bit out of practice

[Image Description: A pen drawing of a dragon sitting. Both of its wings are partially open. There are bushes in the foreground . End]
