image descriptions below the cut

1. Black text on a yellow background reads, "You're my friend. So you can't be a stranger."

2. Black text on a light grey background reads, "Someday, perhaps in the far and distant future, we'll find each other again."

3. A digital drawing of three blue houses with yellow windows on a black background. One house is in the top right corner, the second is in the middle left, and the third is at the center bottom of the image. Around the houses are various illustrations of blue clouds and green trees. To the left of the house in the top right corner, there is a yellow crescent moon with one eye and blue arms holding the leaves of a tree. There are orange outlines of two people walking away from each other, one in the top left corner and the other on the right, near the bottom. In the center of the image, black text in four yellow bubbles reads, in all caps, "We can go on a walk tomorrow, / or we can catch up in a year / I'll see you when I'll see you, / but until then, take care"

4. Black text with grey highlight on a white background reads, "What's another night on Mars? / With friends like ours / Anywhere is home"

5. Dark blue text on a medium blue background reads, "You're my best friend, I'll love you forever"

6. Blue text with yellow highlight on a white background reads, "What brings us together will always be more powerful than what keeps us apart."

7. A scene from the TV series "Community." A photograph of two young men, Abed Nadir and Troy Barnes, on the cover of a handmade yellow booklet tied together with red string. Abed and Troy are standing side-by-side and smiling. Troy has his hand on Abed's shoulder. Abed is wearing light green pyjamas with various spacecraft on them. Troy is wearing an orange shirt with a blue collar. Orange handwriting on the cover, above the photograph, reads, "Friendship of the year (again)!" Black text on a white background has been edited onto the bottom left corner of the image. The text reads, ""We'll be friends forever, won't we, Pooh?" / "Even longer.""

8. Black text on a white background reads, "To those who have already passed through my life and to those who eventually will: I love you. I miss you. The back door will always be unlocked if you ever feel like coming home."

9. Blue text on a white background reads, "I want you to know that there's always a home for you here."

“Alone!!! I am alone, I am always alone, No matter what.”

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.
