If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!
maybe i should get myself checked out
🌸✨HEY GUYS✨🌸Here’s the link for the book! It’s called DESPERADO • the last ronin on my wttpd! I’m almost done with chapter 0(its the first chapter of the story but my stories mostly start with ch0 and not ch1 cuz that’s what im used to hh) and I already posted the epigraph and prologue of the story :3
To clarify! my main characters are strictly Filipina! And with my stories I only make female characters for that's what I'm comfortable and familiar with. BUT you can interpret the character to whoever and whatever you like! I just use Filipino features and characteristics when writing for it’s rare to see Filipino-inclusive main characters. Mostly in SECOND POV(you, your etc.) so that my readers can feel more immersed in the stories. I jump to different POVs when necessary but I’m not really into using the whole thing in one setting hh
EDIT: CH.0 IS OUT!

Whenever I read about the guys, especially the Rise and bayverse turts having mutant turtle children of their own with a human, I think back to how fucking tiny they were as baby mutants, which I believe were already fully mutated.
Like.
Your coochie girl, you are lucky bebé's to tiny.
Otherwise, a c-section.
OR.
And my lil' WrITer'S brain likes this for the possible angst it could bring to the new parent couple in a fic:
About two to three months in, the baby has to be incubated and monitored 24/7 for months until it's born, because the female human's uterus isn’t meant for reptiles. Like, wifey gets an actual c-section to remove a thin-membraned egg/sack with the baby in it, then put it in a device built by Donnie to ensure the baby's survival.
man, is it just me or the more responsible raph becomes in the series the more careless/dismissive leo gets? i find it wild how much common sense leo had in s1 when raph often liked to goof off and didn't take the whole Hero thing as seriously as after Beast Shredder but in s2 raph gets more serious about all of this, while leo's like- "oh am i finally done having the braincell? cool!" and just throws it at raph with fool force and almost never takes it back (and then the movie happens)

Gasp! Oh no. Dare come yet more writing advice burning adverbs at the stake? Vindictively, gleefully, manically dancing in the ashes?
No.
This is not about whether or not you should use them, but their frequency and obvious places to replace them. Most bad adverbs are the common ones that could be replaced by verbs we all know.
“She ran quickly” // “She sprinted”
“He said angrily” // “He snapped” “He chided” “He chastised”
vs.
“He ate voraciously”
“She swayed solemnly”
“She laughed sadly”
Bonus if you can add in some alliteration like ‘swayed solemnly’
If you can come up with an obvious verb to replace your verb + adverb combo, do so. If it would take more words or the closest applicable verb doesn’t hit the same vibe, then leave it. Adverbs should enhance the verb, not be redundant. Verbs shouldn’t be pretentious just to avoid them.
“She smiled happily” — most smiles are happy. Happily is redundant.
“He ran quickly” —a run is, by nature, quick
vs.
“She smiled sourly”
“He ran erratically”
Also!
The adverb need not always be after the verb.
“C accepted gladly” // “C gladly accepted”
But also
“Glad, C accepted”
“A shook their head resolutely” // “Resolute, A shook their head”
“The child skipped excitedly away.” // “Excited, the child skipped away.” // “The child skipped away, excited.”
English is flexible like that.
Which is what I mean with managing your adverb frequency. As most end in the -ly, too many in succession, on top of the repeat syntax of Subject - Verb - Adverb looks boring and dull (and so does beginning every sentence with the subject). It helps with your cadence and flow if you don’t have entire paragraphs at a time all starting with “He [verb]” or “She [verb]” or “They [verb].” We don't speak like this in natural conversation.
But at the end of the day, there are some juicy adverbs that have no equal without busting out the thesaurus for some obscure lexical nugget that no one would understand anyway.
I need someone to explain to me WHY y/n picks outfits like we are playing EPISODE and RAN OUT OF GEMS!?!!?
💗“ i have a 2hr cry sesh, where i find a song to make fake scenarios in my head or read an angst fic that makes me sob with snot<3 ” she/her
