Oversharing Demons

I think this screenshot is precious so I want to share my coping strategy against the constant urge to overshare here, on my Tumblr page (as one does)

[lyaoooh]

Just stole all my dad’s shirts and flannels and I am very happy and proud of myself

[lyaoooh]

I forgor I had Tumblr but I just really wanted to appreciate my beautiful wife gifting me this today

(I’m pretty sure she has no idea who those two are but I love how evil she made them)

Here’s another quick Henry-Charlie father-daughter moment because apparently people loved the last one

No caption here, just my bloody drawings (pun intended)

It’s so hard to not misgender yourself in a gendered language, like Ukrainian. You have to change the end of almost every word with your new respective pronoun and that can be so hard sometimes. The struggle is REAL.

A little cursed (especially William’s left eye), but it’s okay.

[lyaoooh]

I will take no criticism for this

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.”

I just remembered that one time in 6th grade my English told me “Good job using Google Translate” on my homework, and I was SO irritated. Like, no, I did NOT use Google Translate at all, Woman!!!

My English (3rd language) was still terrible tho

For example: “I'm sure [Name] would take care of [Name] after I will be gone …”

That sounds like a nightmare and I am totally going to discuss it with my current English teacher, with whom I already argued about the usage of “were” in “[I] wish[ed] …” and “If [I] …”, and the difference between “if” (conditional) and “whether” (clear options, usually two), and also whether or not “[I] better …” is grammaticly right (does it count as slang?)

Something something redraw of a template, I guess. A little lazy but I’m very tired and rlly sleepy (it’s 3 in the morning)

Alt. version in memes for the funsies:

Very VERY old and unfinished (?) Charlie drawing from October, might redraw

[lyaoooh]

Quick Williwaw neutral face (I wonder what he’s thinking about) practice because the only things I can draw are side profiles and hairy arms

He looks a little off, but I don’t know why (might be the hair) 🤷

(Edit: I changed the hair, LOL)

I am in process of quitting a bad bad addiction right now and I might try to fill in the void with my William&Henry (not necessarily the ship) hyperfixation. Haven’t fed it in a while since I last re-read the books in January and wrote a smut fanfiction in May.

This is me trying to ignore the existence of the games and other stuff because they are wayyy too complex for me
