Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ ���You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

I am pretty sure someone already did this, but I wanted a shot at it, so, yeah! XD

[neptunefalls]

interesting, some that act like they care about what happened to kneeby arent explain this guy the reason why the things are getting erased. i wonder if the "oh no you almost died, you should not" posts some made are just empty words to make it look like they care, just a theory... a drama theory.

suspicious to say the least, also i dont think i know any of you two but you did good ^^ @killerotto-blog and @sundryd

really can people just stop bothering now? we are half a month in this drama already ~w~ and already had a serious consequence

[neptunefalls]

your repulsion amuses me greatly

[neptunefalls]

Coining Transrandom Transrandom: feeling like you should be random or want to be random. Examples: being random in the way you speak, act, think, etc. The flag looks like that on purpose, even if you may think it's ugly, it's just expressive art! If a flag was already made, consider this an alt flag.

I usually don't post my own thoughts. I am a fairly private person. But I'm hoping this can reach Kneeby since they have disabled all communications on Tumblr.

First of all. I think this whole controversy over sparklecare and cometcare is nothing but hot air.

Someone dug up Kneeby's private canons and whirled up a bunch of malicious intent where there was absolutely none.

These are fictional characters. Nothing more than imaginary thoughts. They are not real people being harmed. Hell I was always surprised by the sheer amount of content warnings on the comic. That is a lot of care for not triggering people.

I am sad because this could likely be the end of sparklecare. I always looked forward to seeing uni again. I have a sweet spot for sly. Poor gal struggling with taking a shower. Something about the vulnerability of these characters struggling with stuff the public may treat very harshly in a safe environment.

That's why fiction exists. It's a safe environment. As long as we acknowledge the difference between fiction and reality there is no harm done.

But now a mob has formed. They found something (once again a fictional ship) that they didn't like and decided to absolutely tear down Kneeby, someone struggling with mental illness trying to cope with severe trauma and brought so much joy to so many people with their characters.

They didn't have to do this. They didn't have to share sparklecare with anybody. But we all found connection there.

Now thanks to this mob mentality there will be no more sparklecare or cometcare. The life and soul of someone has been terrorized into believing that they are as bad as their abusers. All over, I remind you, fictional ships. Fictional ships that were private. Because they knew this could be triggering to other people. But they had great healing power to her.

I work a blue collar job. I spend time with people who would say the most fucked up things. But I don't judge them on what they say. I see their actions as actions of integrity. They may be rough on the surface, but they enact behaviors or care and responsibility towards others.

And I think this terminally online culture is mixing up fiction with reality and causing a lot of harm.

This callout post that has gone around has done absolutely no good for anyone. Kneeby is hurting and drowning in unwarranted hate. Fans of the comics and characters are hurting because they also believe they have been deceived and because they believe they have supported something bad. And now we all have lost a wonderful thing over a bunch of private canons and ships. Once more, fictional ships. Fiction. Not real.

I'm pretty upset about the whole thing. At this rate the only we'll have in the future is the most absolutely bland media because everyone will get scared their lives will be ruined over some perceived harm.

If incest is a contentious topic then we should bring it to the light and explore how it affects relationships in the real world and why do some people attach to the fictional performance of it and what are the effects of it. Discussions that need to be approached with compassion and curiosity instead of judgement.

Nobody is perfect. I rather have strange imperfect people that bring joy and are committed to improving behavior that causes real harm to real victims than perfect performing people who are so scared to be real that everything they create is bland soggy slop devoid of nuance.

We can't grow as people when we live in fear.

I hope we get to see more sparklecare and civil discussions about fictional ships.

This type of behavior is more about seeking safety in hiding with the angry crowd than exposing dangerous predators or evil people. If the latter were the case then we would be treating the writers of murder mysteries the same as potential serial killers.

This is silly and it needs to stop because all it is doing is hurting everyone involved.

If Kneeby reads this. You are well within your right to keep your ocs and aus private. But I personally would be extremely sad to see them go.

I am more interested in hearing how incest has affected your life and why the fictional version of it can be comforting despite the pain the real event caused than having the topic completely silenced. We are complicated creatures. The more we learn about each other, the better we can act to get along and not hurt each other.

Anyways that is my ramble.

I hate seeing people suffer unnecessarily.

Ok ok I NEED to talk about a specific scene today very quickly. Spoilers for episode 135.

In the following scene:

Gou is about to tell Satoshi the thing he's been hiding, but he gets too scared and tries to change the topic. He says, and I quote:

"Nevermind. The stars are really beautiful tonight, aren't they?" [何でも無い。今日の星はとてもきれいだような?] (If I screwed up the spelling you saw nothi-)

And then he looks at the sky with the full moon right in the middle. The phrase "The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" is, essentially the subtle Japanese way of saying "I love you". I couldn't find any proper source regarding if saying that about the stars has a different meaning. Here is one about the moon though:

I honestly think they deliberately changed the exact wording and made him refer to the stars while looking at the moon, so it's not as obvious what it means. Because "the moon is beautiful" has a very clear meaning in Japanese pop culture.

IN SHORT: Those madmen. They did it. They found a subtle way to make Gou's love for Satoshi canon. I am certain of it, you can't tell me this wasn't 100% deliberate. Gou's crush just became canon. I can't even be mad about the cliffhanger that way. Holy heck.
