Let's talk about character voices.
Giving a character a unique voice in your writing involves several elements, including word choice, sentence structure, dialogue quirks, and mannerisms. By incorporating these elements into your writing, you can create characters with distinct voices that resonate with readers and bring your story to life.
Here are some tips to help you create distinctive voices for your characters:
Distinct Vocabulary: Choose words that reflect the character's background, personality, and education level. Consider their profession, interests, and experiences when selecting vocabulary. For example, a well-educated professor would likely use more sophisticated language.
Dialogue Quirks: Give each character specific speech patterns or quirks that set them apart. This could include repeated phrases, stuttering, using or avoiding contractions, or speaking in a particular dialect or accent. Be careful not to overdo it, though, as too much can become distracting.
Sentence Structure: Pay attention to the rhythm and structure of their sentences. Some characters might speak in short, abrupt sentences, while others might use long, flowing ones. This can convey their confidence, hesitation, or urgency.
Internal Monologue: Show the character's unique thought process through their internal monologue. This can help readers understand their motivations, fears, and desires, further distinguishing them from other characters. (This may not necessarily apply to your story if you're writing in a third person omniscient perspective, or if you intend to exclusively follow the internal monologue of the main character.)
Physical Gestures and Actions: Incorporate the character's physical gestures and actions into their dialogue to add depth to their voice. For example, a nervous character might fidget, slouch, or avoid eye contact while speaking, while a confident character might stand tall and make direct eye contact.
Background and History: Consider the character's background and history when crafting their voice. Their upbringing, cultural influences, and past experiences can all shape the way they speak and interact with others.
Consistency: It's important to maintain consistency in the character's voice throughout the story. Pay attention to their speech patterns, vocabulary, and mannerisms to ensure they remain true to their established personality.
Listen to Real Conversations: Pay attention to how people speak in real life, including their tone, vocabulary, and speech patterns. Drawing inspiration from real conversations can help you create authentic and believable dialogue for your characters.
Read Aloud: Reading your dialogue aloud can help you identify areas where the character's voice may not sound authentic. If it doesn't sound like something they would say, revise.
Avoid Stereotypes: While it's okay to draw inspiration from archetypes, be careful not to rely too heavily on stereotypes. Instead, strive to create complex, multidimensional characters with unique voices.
Hope this helps!

many games can be slotted into multiple genres and many gamers play and adore lots of (sub)genres. try to narrow down to your ultimate favourite!
if i listed your favourite game in a certain genre and you think it fits better into another, don't worry about it, it's just a silly little poll! ^_^
i made this poll because i didn't like a different one on the same topic that's cirulating, hopefully this fits more genres that are well liked on tumblr!

if you see this post, the op is a huge terf and isn't doing this as a playful in-joke, its intent legitimately mocking trans people and the concept of dysphoria.

EYES ON THE CALIFORNIA ONLINE AGE VERIFICATION BILL-AB3080
Tumblr media
This is an ammendment to an already existing Californian law to prevent minors from purchasing items that are illegal to sell to minors, including alcohol, porn, tobacco, fireworks and the like. You can take a look at the most recent text here
Now, whats wrong with that ? It's important to protect minors!! Which is absolutely true!
However the issue here resides in the fact that websites selling such products will require adults to submit their ID to access their websites and purchase what they want.
And with data breaches being more and more frequent recently, this is a recipe for disaster.
It could also target sites such as Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans(etc) which, people already submit their credit card to buy what they want already.
This would give a huge blow to Californian businesses and have **a ripple effect on the Internet in the US since a lot of tech companies are within California.**
There needs to be a better privacy law before any age verification bills can be actually effective and properly protect minors and privacy for everyone.
Remember the UK age verification bill ? Minors are already in danger because of having to show their ID due to data leaks.
Tumblr media
There are also many other issues with AB3080 that you NEED to keep in mind too :
No guarantee of personal privacy when submitting for Age verification when purchasing and ID protection after purchase. Who handles the ID? What ensures it is not held indefinitely, putting it at risk of a potential data breach?
The definition of what defines “harmful to minors” is too vague and overly broad to interpretation and could be abused and exploited in case of a political party change in California.
The 1/3rd provision is another over reach. Who will define what is porn? Are sales defined as direct sales or links to another site? It’s too broad and can be abused.
Fiscal impact has the potential of a loss of online sales tax revenue and drive businesses out of California.
Which is why, I AM URGING YOU TO CALL YOUR REPS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE NO !
Use this to contact your reps, it’s fast to use and there is a script for inspiration.
Find your reps:
https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/
Send faxes to your reps with this:
Make sure to emphasize this will be bad for the economy of California, especially since California is ona tight budget this year.
If you try to contact them and it doesnt work, that must be because you’re not in Cali, that's ok, as you should sitll make posts about this using the tags #AB3080 and #NoOnAB3080
Please also note, notorious anti-LGBTQIA religious groups are behind the authoring of the language of this bill, primarily NCOSE & EXODUS CRY.
PLEASE REBLOG !

i dunno something about this hellsite is just very... white. like, when i think of tumblr collectively it's very white people
Like the music taste. Collectively, a lot of distaste for rap and blues and jazz. Lotta fandom racism. There's not a lot about making queer poc visible compared to all the stuff about white queers. Black have literally gotten banned for being black and being against oppressing black people.
and i know a lot of poc on here. i follow them. we interact. but that's not what im talking about. i dont know how to explain further. cope.

they do not help the actual people in palestine who are suffering. this is only for their own selfish wants and needs.

What total drama takes blogs do you like to read/send asks towards?
i liked the og the most but tbh when or if mod court comes back im probably gonna unfollow that too because my god do take blogs bring out the worst in people
people are just so negative and discoursey on the newer ones, even when theres takes i agree with theyre always so rude about it. like way to make people immediately not want to listen to what you have to say. humans dont like listening to people who make them mad even if your takes are pretty good lol
and also whats up with all the catnon dicksucking lately? "well if you ignore their coderra takes-" im not fucking doing that. as a victim it catnon makes me hella uncomfortable no i wouldnt care if the rest of their takes were godsend from above or hot garbage. itd be different if people were just agreeing with their other takes but no people are straight up saying theyre fans of catnon. so you dont actually care about us as soon as someone known as the #1 coderra defender drops a somewhat good take (especially one that is so obviously a way to weasle their way into making coderra look better to anyone with a brain). ok.
