annie lennox calling for a ceasefire during the grammys but being completely overshadowed by taylor swift announcing the release of some new songs is like an onion headline except it actually happened
➸ “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.”
you know what i think is a coincidence that i still can’t get over? i posted a video on youtube in may 2022 about songs i wanted in marvel movies and one of those songs is dog days are over by florence and the machine and then a year later guardians of the galaxy vol.3 came out and guess what song was featured in it? dog days are over
spike saying “one guy showed up and he wasn’t very nice to me. he wanted to eat and fuck basically and i wanted a little conversation first” has never left my mind ever since i heard it
pookies i am begging for more spike content 🙏. maybe bf headcanons in og jackass era??
spike jonze headcanons
an: I LOVE SPIKE SO MUCH 🫶🏼 here ya go pookie <3 lmk if y’all want bf headcanons with older spike and the jackass crew i’m so into my jackass phase rn
ok so the og jackass era omg bf spike would NOT want you to visit the jackass set because he knows the guys want to prank you but you tell him it’s fine
the first time you visited the set, spike kept you by his side at all times even if he was needed somewhere he would bring you with him
this man is paranoid that you’ll be the victim of a jackass prank
he showed you around the set and introduced you to the cast and crew
the guys instantly loved you and swore to spike that you would never be pranked
but this is jackass were talking about 😍 ofc that didn’t happen (i have a spike fic in the works about this so for now, this is all you’re gonna get lol)
bf spike obviously teaches you the basics of skateboarding
ok ok so do y’all remember the ding dong prank that johnny did in jackass number two?? there’s an extended scene if i remember correctly with johnny pranking jeff, spike and ryan and of course you’re there when spike gets pranked
so before you arrive to johnny’s house, johnny let you know that he was going to prank spike so when you and your bf walked to the front gate, you let go of his hand and stand aside
spike is like “wtf?? hold my hand??” because he loves to hold your hand anytime
n e ways he presses the button and a pink air bag hits his pretty face 💕 (in the og prank it missed him but let’s just pretend this man got hit 😍)
you gasp bc that’s your bf getting hit in the face but also you wants to laugh a little because this is what jackass is just a bunch of grown men pranking each other and doing stunts
“did you know? is that why you stood over there?” spike asked you while laughing
“yeah johnny told me about it”
obviously he’s gonna ask you to kiss it better 🙄
he always asks for your opinion about a stunt/prank
OKAY BUT LETS TALK ABOUT WHEN HE DRESSES UP AS GLORIA
spike keeps gloria a secret so he has the chance to scare you
ok i’m kind of running out of ideas rn because i’m sleep deprived BUT more spike fics coming soon i promise <3
