Heyyy !!!

Oh, to be a scientist so absorbed into their work that they are eventually destroyed by it

It's October 3rd.

wip of that one tamaranian girl

Since I made the post about how it was gonna end soon that happened to get widely shared I thought I’d give it a send off post as well.

Reality is like 'PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS PROBLEMS' while fiction is like 'mmm problems'.

for the love of god if you’re writing deaf/mute characters and they’re using sign language to talk PLEASE use quotation marks, don’t do just italics or brackets or whatever other thing it is people do. sign language is STILL A LANGUAGE. just because it’s not spoken doesn’t mean it’s not real dialogue. if you’re writing someone speaking spanish, do you write their dialogue like ‘[the flower district is down south,] she said in spanish’ like NO!!! IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT, USE QUOTATIONS MARKS AND JUST SAY THEY SIGNED.

just know that you can describe their facial expressions! or how flowy their hand movements are, if they move excitedly or animatedly when happy, if they’re slamming their hands and moving aggressively when angry, how their brows scrunch or how rigid their hands get, you can still be creative and describe what they’re conveying even though they’re not using a spoken language. watch videos of people signing! look at how beautifully expressive it is! it is a LANGUAGE, treat and write it like one. use quotation marks

look, I get that you’re pissed about being reanimated, but you could at least let me test your reflexes before you try to disappear into the night never to be seen again
