A problem with tone tags that I don’t think anyone realized we’d have is that, because the people who use/need tone tags most are neurodivergent, we tend to interpret them differently.
I have friends who have expressed they don’t like /gen because it feels insincere. I have other friends who love /gen (myself included) because they have anxiety and it reassures them that I mean what I say. I can’t use /nm around a couple people because it reads to them like I am indeed mad. Sometimes /nav reads as intended, and sometimes it doesn’t. At some point I started using /silly instead of /j because it made more sense to me, but then I have to explain it because that’s just a whole extra word attached to the end. Don’t even get me started on what /hj means to everyone
YALL IMAGINE THIS WITH CALYPSO AND ODYSSEUS LIKE.. EVELYN EVELYN-
(EPIC The Musical I mean)
Someone, PLEASE DRAW THIS AND PING ME
Odysseus : a parasite needs a host
Calypso: I'm only trying to do what is best for us !
Odysseus : Well, I never asked for this. I never wanted this. All that I want is some time to myself !
Calypso, soon being seen as Penelope for Ody: looking in your eyes, I'm coming home
*Ody pushes Calypso away*
Odysseus: Just get away from me. Please just stop touching me. You're always trying to be somebody else !
Calypso : now i realise *soon the ghosts of odys crew appear* I'm not alone
Odysseus : well you're only scared of me
Calypso : well you never cared for me
Odysseus : why won't you let me free?
Calypso : cause you never dared to be !
Both: Cause you never listen, you're always insisting
Calypso : I'm just reminiscing
Ody : Just stop reminiscing
Ody : I just want my privacy God won't you leave me alone !
Calypso : I just want you here with me, God can't we just get along!
I'm not ok ‼️
