If I see one more goddamn person using aromantic or aroace people as a shield against their homophobia I'm going to lose it. It's all "people are reducing platonic relationships!!!!" but only when it's a queer ship. When there's an actual aromantic nearby? Silence. Crickets. Fuck you

Writing Tips

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.”

Officially wrote out the school information. Will probably keep everything for this under the tag "Twining Fates" for the sake of organization.

If I'm not gonna work on my assignments I might as well commit to working on the creative thing. Tumblr I'm relying on you to hold me to keep working until I have a full fic and not give up halfway through.

Basic concept: Fake TWST event ft. new made-up school cause I wanna do SOMETHING with it.

Event plot line goes as follows: Despite the first Promising Young Mage Social ending in disaster, the schools agree to attempt holding it one more time. This time, the hosting school will be Twining Fates Academy, due to the school having a reputation for its extremely safe, controlled campus. Crowley ends up raffling another 10 students, but that number goes up to 14 due to the inclusion of Ramshackle dorm + Twining Fates specifically noting that groups of visitors should come in even numbers.

Note that this would take place in what I am referring to as my "Double-Yuu" AU... hence why the inclusion of Ramshackle brings the count to 14.

Yearning for someone who doesn't exist

Me trying to hold myself back from putting the same two characters in every fandom universe I have ever encountered

I don’t need another AU I don’t need another AU I don’t need another AU I don’t need another AU I don’t need another AU I don’t need another AU I don’t need another AU-

AAAAAAA

AAAAHHH HE'S HERE!! CLUBWEAR MALLEUS IS HERE IN EN TWISTED WONDERLAND!! AND I MANAGED TO SUMMON FOR HIM QUQ 2 feathers with 1st incantation and there he was!! He didn't troll me this time! And he appeared in single again like in the JP server!! Ahhhh this makes me so happy!! I'm a happy noodle! Thank you Malleus for coming home!! Hope all your pulls been amazing and you got who you want!

Do you think baby dragon malleus and baby gator Sebek would have been friends? Or do you think they both would have gotta beat up by baby lion Leona?

I think the baby Sebek and baby Malleus dynamic would be inverted from the current one: Sebek is such a confident baby that Malleus just. Follows him. Sebek says "epepepepepepeppe brrrrrrrrrrr pu" and Malleus thinks the equivalent of "so true bestie". Sebek would grow up to become HORRIFIED of this because "I DARED TO ORDER MALLEUS AROUND??" but Malleus would have very fond memories of this.

Baby Leona... I think as a child he would still a kind and radiant soul (he is still kind, but you get it), so he ends up being too shy to play with Sebek and Malleus because they are so little! He is a bigger kid he shouldn't be playing with them... but... he wants to...

I kill you

Twining Fates Academy

Twining Fates Academy, a premier magic college, is represented by the Enigmatic Storytellers and their spirits of creativity and devotion. There were two of them– a girl who was always surrounded by stars and a boy with feathery dark wings– but they share a singular title due to their inseparability. Similarly, it's agreed that while they had two ideals in creativity and devotion, for two people, they shared both spirits equally.

In legend, the pair was never separate. Where one was, the other was never considered far away. In fact, some even believe that they each held a half of the other’s soul. As such, the school ascribes to the “law of duos,” claiming that most things should be done as a pair. Rooms are shared between two people, there’s two dorms, and the student heads are always a pair— alongside all major student roles.

While Twining Fates doesn’t have a magic artifact like Noble Bell or NRC, what they do have is the Living Library. The Living Library is an enchanted place that is capable of moving and re-arranging itself, and has its own statue guardians to protect it. The titles of Librarian (and Student Librarian) are some of the most respected titles at the school.

The school is surrounded by the Living Library in a ring— while the campus is closed to the public for most of the year, the outer section of the Library is open, but for safety, those under 13 you need someone over 16 as accompaniment to enter. The inner ring of the Living Library, however, is only for students and TFA staff. Similarly to the rule for children, first-year students aren't allowed inside the inner ring of the Living Library without a Librarian or Library Assistant to accompany them.

In accordance with the Law of Duos, the school boasts two dorms: Stella and Pluma, though there’s no real difference between them except for color palette. Officially, anyways. Stella tends to be favored by the more extroverted adventurous types, while introverts and quieter types flock to Pluma. Students are able to choose which dorm they would prefer to reside in, though they may be pushed in one direction or other based off of remaining rooms. Again, by the Law of Duos, each room fits two people. For the first year, students are assigned a random roommate inside their chosen dorm. From second year onwards, students can choose their own roommate, or be assigned one at random again.

While Night Raven has its housewardens, and Noble Bell has the Student Council, Twining Fates has the Student Librarians and the Library Assistants. There are always two Student Librarians, in accordance with... well, you can guess. There's additionally two student Library Assistants from each year. The Student Librarians act as the student body leaders, and the primary guides through the Living Library. Library Assistants have less authority, but they are the seconds to the Student Librarians. Student Librarians have full access to the Living Library, Library Assistants can access most of it.

The two current Student Librarians are Aster Cordula and Adie Harper. Traditionally, they will wear the uniform colors of each dorm; pink and white for one, blue and black for the other.

Considering the school's focus around both duos and librarians, it should come as no surprise that another name for the Headmage is the Head Librarian, and that there's always two of them. At the moment, they are only known as Headmage Blue and Headmage Violet.
