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.

"Guy" and "man" have different connotations with adjectival nouns. Like "tree guy" = arborist but "tree man" = he lives in a tree, or maybe he is a tree.

I say "oh don't worry he doesn't bite" and you're confused because you don't see any dog but then you notice a single inchworm moving purposefully across the floor towards you at an alarming pace

— jason dean headcanons. ──────────────── ୨୧ ──────────────── intro + reqs rules here | reqs open. . genre(s): general headcanons, angst-y | sfw (non-smut). . warnings: heathers typical stuff, mentions of: self harm, mental health problems, abuse, bullying, suicide and smoking. . a/n: he has NO right to be that fine,, why does he look like that 😐 pathetic little malewife ugh. needless to say it's my opinion and y'all shouldn't attack me for it💥💥💥 ──────────────── ୨୧ ──────────────── - bisexual trans-male, he/him (i don't give a single shit they were in the 80's, lgbtq ppl have always existed) - has undiagnosed impulsive and self-destructive bpd, along with psychosis/psychotic episodes. - he's originally from texas, but doesn't have the accent because he lived there for like a year and only interacted with his non-texan parents, so he didn't have anyone to catch it from. talking about it, not trying to be racist but he has like a lot of extended family he doesn't even know. the kind of people to come out of nowhere and tell you "you've gotten so big! i used to change your diapers!" and jason'll be like "bitch who are u???" - suffered from bullying like, all his life. he had always been an outcast and people thought it was so funny to tease him for it or throw paper balls at him. also bc he was such a nerd and people didn't like it. but the teasing morphed into punching him behind school and doing worse things and that's when he started to stand up for himself and fight back. at one point he moved schools and at that new school he was the one starting fights desperately so ppl would see they shouldn't mess with him so he could save himself from bullying. didn't work. - talking about bullying, he never had any friends neither. vero was his first real friend, (i mean, he had friends when younger but they weren't actual friends, and if he ever got a real friend they didn't last long bc he moved constantly) that's why he got so obsessed w her. stalking part is not cool tho... - skips classes constantly and when he does attend he sits in the back of the classroom and stays silent until the class finishes. the only reason why he does good in school is bc he reads a lot ig. - TW: tried to kill himself by overdosing when he was fourteen and his dad won't stop teasing him about it. like whenever he locks the bathroom door he's like "don't try it again, champ!!" and laughs. in addition to it, he started self harming when he was eleven. -> i'm using "freeze your brain" as a base ("when the voice in your head says you're better off dead, don't open a vein"). - probably worked at a 7/11 at some point hehe. - he had a nice relationship with his mom; she loved him completely and she tried her best, but was a really troubled woman and a victim to bud's abuse, so she couldn't be perfect. despite this, jason still remembers her with love and nostalgia. - started smoking at 12-13. his dad knows but doesn't give a shit like anything else in jason's life. - would've been good friends with duke if he didn't want to kill her. moby dick buddies or idk. - is goth. goth is a music and politics-based subculture. i think jd would listen to goth music and share the goth subculture general thoughts and opinions. however i don't think he'd do goth makeup. the 80's goth makeup wasn't similar to today's trad goth makeup but still. - if i didn't hc him as trans, i like the thought that everyone thought he was going to be a girl but was born male (credits :: @raviankaivao) ──────────────── ୨୧ ──────────────── . today's headcanon question; what are your headcanons for jd?
