Hannibal (2013-2015)

[oakenthoza]

MAN HANNIBAL IS SO GREEDYYYY. he wanna fiddle with will's head so much so he's acting like his psychiatrist, but at the same time he wanted to form a deeper relationship with will (which he couldn't do if he's actually will's therapist) so he keeps on telling everyone that what he's doing is unofficial business. one shot of alcohol everytime he basically says "im not officially his therapist btw so we can be close like this" would probably kill me

Bryan Fuller couldn’t show us Hannibal’s trial cause Will would’ve pulled some crazy stunt to torture Hannibal and himself….. POV you’re the unluckiest judge alive and the prosecution’s main witness is very obviously whoring it up for the defendant, a serial killer cannibal. This is your view. You are contemplating bashing your head in with your gavel

Sometimes I just think... maybe after death, Thorin is watching over Erebor from above. Keeping an eye on things.

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.”
