↳ Parachute Infantry quotes applied to HBO’s Band of Brothers || I closed my eyes and thought of Muck and Penkala, who were small, clean-cut men, close as brothers, and of little Julian, who was that great rarity, a gentle Southerner. Hoobler was dead too. It did not seem possible.

Advice: Don't Write Out Accents

Anonymous asked: How would you write an accent? One of my main characters is a British guy my other main character meets at university, and I want his accent to be apparent, rather than just simply saying he has a British accent.

Believe me, you don’t want to write an accent. Writing accents requires all sorts of spelling and grammatical acrobatics that are offensive, distracting, and confusing to the reader.  When writers fixate on a character’s accent, it’s a vanity issue that has to be let go. A person’s accent is not what’s important about them, and it shouldn’t be so important in a character that it has to be spelled out. It’s far more important to establish where the character is from and let the reader imagine the accent for themselves, however they imagine it. If the accent they hear in their heads is different than the one you intended, it will have zero affect on the character and the story. Instead of spelling out the accent, research the slang and other verbal cues spoken in the specific area your character is from. Then, have the narrator, the character, or another character establish where the foreign character is from, and incorporate the slang and other cues into their dialogue. For example, if I tell you my character is from Texas and then she walks into a room and says, “Hey, ya’ll! Come on inside and get yourself some sweet tea,” you probably heard that in a southern accent as you read. If you didn’t—does it matter? :) Here’s another post I did on writing accents.

          ok listen.

          i understand that, in excess, writing out an accent can be both tedious and confusing. but if you actually do your research and you put thought and effort into what your character is saying and how you’re writing it out, accents serve to IMMERSE the reader in your writing.

          sometimes a character’s accent is important. and you know what ?? maybe someone doesn’t want to keep reminding the reader the their character is from a certain place. especially if you’re roleplaying and it’s an oc !! because holy cow if your character isn’t canon and your partners aren’t necessarily super invested in your oc, they can ( and likely will ) forget where they’re from, and won’t go check your pages to remember.

          and let’s not forget that writing is what you make of it !! there are plenty of amazing ( and famous ) authors that write out the accents in their stories. there are also plenty that don’t. so do whatever you want with your character’s dialogue, and don’t let someone on the internet tell you that you can’t or that you shouldn’t.

          also—– i just wanted to point out that, as someone said in their tags on this post, the fact that this post literally says HEY Y’ALL COME ON INSIDE AND GET YOURSELF SOME SWEET TEA is more offensive than someone that’s actually trying to write a decent accent. talk about stereotyping. :)

Crappy photoedit– work with me. 

So, I’ve just hit 100 followers. When I made this blog a short while ago, I truly didn’t see myself writing beyond a couple of thread with a few friends. The fact that there’s suddenly 100 of you were is astounding. I’ll keep this short and under a cut so I don’t clog your dashboards, but there’s a couple people I want to drag out into the spotlight for this. (Consider these subtle promos. Hint, hint. Follow these nerds.)

i’m pretty sure luz approaches dealing with nervousness / stress differently. his sarcasm is more sharp til it breaches into snide territory.  as you can see how he treats perconte after being rejected from the milkmaid ( the snapping  smth along the lines of  ‘why don’t you go make your omlete ?’ ) and when perco was commenting how going through the forests reminded him of bastogne  ( a very awful time that dampened many of the men’s morale at the time , including luz’s  ).
