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 always though Fred was a guy….

As someone who is currently studying Human Anatomy and Physiology this tugs at my heart strings!!!
Since I’m already here some small sneak peek things for my current project to do with Hawks. Its current page size is 2900x10000 with 400-ish layers and still increasing (and slowing my computer down) all packed as tightly as possible.
I am no expert in anatomy or biology. Please be merciful to anatomical mistakes beside the obvious.
Despite all these sneak peaks being bones I’ve currently moved onto musculature and will eventually be moving on through until I get to feathers.
This should be out as soon as possible.

Bravo!!!
Here we thought at a glance Hawks was an Icarus analogy when this entire time he's always been a phoenix. He's been stripped down to nothing time and time again only to reach deep down, find something within himself to hold onto and come back stronger than before.
Tbh i just wanted to draw hawks in grey sweatpants

However, Hawks always reminded me the popular “Red Tail Hawk.” Yes I know this is a fan favorite, probably because the name “Red Tail Hawk” has the word “red” in it. However, the bird has very little (if any) red on its feathers. To be honest, I’m not sure why I personally associate Keigo with Red Tail Hawks. Maybe it’s because I see them all the time (The species is very popular here in North America.) They are truely magnificent animals and have to be one of my favorites...
However if you want another bird species that is actually red in color that could have inspired Keigo’s character, then might I recommend the “Red Lorikeet” aka “Red Lori.” I actually have seen these birds twice in person from a traveling Lorikeet exhibit. Pictures do not give justice to how beautiful and vibrantly colored the birds are in real life. They are also extremely intelligent. Lorikeets are sometimes even kept as pets.
Everyone says red tailed hawks are what Hawks is but they got no black face markings, they are brown, and have no fluffy head doohikies. They also say he must be a raptor because he eats meat, but he is also human. And we eat meat.

Im not here to start discourse in the birb fandom im just sayin---- consider

I'm currently stuck with "Ship in a Bottle" by Steffan Argus.
If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)
Honestly this has to be one of the best Hawks fanfics I’ve ever read. I’ve reread it countless times and I honestly can’t believe I haven’t reposted it. Kudos to the author for this amazing piece of work!

Summary: Hawks is the only person who knows about your suicide attempt. Hawks is also the reason for your suicide attempt. He takes responsibility.
TW’s for suicide, depression, angst, guilt
I can’t call this a yandere story despite it being linked to Intertwined. There’s only perhaps two things that you could say are “yandere”,Hawks actually cleans up his act in this one. It’s a little more traditionally romantic.
IMPORTANT Story note, read fully: This won’t make much sense if you haven’t read Intertwined. this is not a chronological sequel to Intertwined, it’s more like another route that could’ve been taken. What I recommend doing is rereading up to the point where reader is phoning her parents about moving colleges, as this is where -for this fic- Intertwined stops and Interchangeable begins. You can read this without any of the yandere stuff, technically.
For those of us not wanting to reread, Hawks is at the point where he is still bullying the reader. The container incident hasn’t happened, Hawks hasn’t confessed his feelings.
We also assume a couple of things about the reader from Intertwined, we assume she’s depressed and that it’s at least partly due to Hawks.
Not so important A/N: the alternate summary for this is “Hawks daddy-doms you into getting better”. but there’s no daddy kink I swear. There is also no smut! Squeaky clean, as Jesus intended. I just wanna rip your heart out a little, that’s all.
this is awkward and im sorry that i can’t write angst or conventional romance. really bros… im just practising
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Alone in your apartment, you sat in the bathroom, still dressed in your pyjamas as you listened to the tap dripping into the sink.
This was the dead end.
You couldn’t move colleges, only drop out and abandon the scholarship.
With a sense of self worth that had been deteriorating over the past seven years, you were left to bask in hatred and misery from your situation. There was no way you could stand another day of torment; your own humiliation from not being able to avoid it and the voice that perpetually mocked you.
You fiddled with the cuff of your pyjama bottoms. You were wasting time.
Nothing ever seemed to feel like it was worth doing. You’d constantly find yourself giving up in the middle of tasks or simply not taking them on at all, resorting yourself to lying in bed or pausing, standing there and waiting for motivation that never came. But this, this was doable.
When you looked over to the digital clock perched on your bathroom cabinet, you deduced that you were supposed to be at a lecture in five minutes. You weren’t going to go.
Just a little longer.
No note. Let them wonder.
You got up and opened the cabinet.
