Ello, Cypress here! Or not. Probably not.

Life is a dice roll. Equally, I wish for thee to cleanse thyself of expectation 'cause I will respond anywhere from in half a second to in two years; the when will be between me, Introversion, ADD and Anxiety. Thank you and have a nice day.

Shout out to my brother who, upon seeing that I minorly crashed my bike, started lecturing me in how the bike was several thousand dollars (electric bike) and how he should be the one to ride it instead (I was bleeding from a scratch in my leg and he's 1. 2 years younger then me and 2. Didn't pay for the bike, which was a little bit dented but otherwise perfectly fine)

[eldercypress]

It wasn't even that dented; I myself could barely tell it was hit besides the couple of itty-bitty scrapes on the back.

And like I said then, hospital bills are much more than a few thousand.

[eldercypress]

Now I have a bit of a request/predicament.

I, myself, though all my reading and voice/video call aversion am quite proficient in both reading and writing tone into messages, be it email, text or paper. However my younger sister is not, and finds conversations over text a struggle.

I went searching for a video and other such resources to send her so that she may get a good tutorial/guide as to how to read and utilize tone through text effectively as to have fluid and enjoyable text conversations, but was left with little to none on the topic, nevertheless in-depth enough to convey such style.

I'm aware most proficiency and stylistic choice comes from practice and repeat exposure, but if someone has an in-depth guide or wishes to slowly explain with examples, that would be greatly appreciated.

Such tone examples may include:

Punctuation (Ex.: "Why?" vs. "Why???", "Yo." vs. "...Yo." vs. "Yo...", etc.)

Use of font editing (Ex.: Bold, italics, underline, strike-through, etc.)

Tone markers (Ex.: /j, /hj, /s, /srs, etc.)

And whatever all I may have missed or you wish to add.

Thank you for your time.

Who is the best digimon character?

If you get this wrong I'm divorcing you.

...

It's Tomoro, yes?

Or, well, Kyo is a personal favorite, but due to the title of favorite being a subjective opinion, I'm going off of who you tend to randomly mention the most and is your literal profile pic.

Actually what was everyone's favorite recess activity it reveals so much about your character

[silvertheindignantfox]

Making this a tag game!

Mine was swings and doing roleplay games with my friends where we had superpowers

Spinny thing

[eldercypress]

Yo same. The feeling of flying/being pulled back was the best past. And then making fantastical lore (sometimes with friends) by The Big Tree. And literally everything about The Big Tree. Messing with the sap, ants, made-up potions, acting on the roots, etc.

*throws bees at u*

Good evening to you too. You got a hive for them 'cause the one I've got is full?

[bees-with-a-camera]

Just add another layer, that's how apiar's work

[eldercypress]

And the queens are just fine with it???

[bees-with-a-camera]

well I kinda, I did misunderstand, but if you have a full hive just through another box on top for honeystorsge :D

[eldercypress]

Huh. Interesting.

Soooo... where do I put the extra bees?

[eldercypress]

Actually did you ever have a fear of mirrors growing up?

[purplesage135]

:)

hiiiii

[eldercypress]

Good evenin'

[purplesage135]

helloooo

[eldercypress]

Is AO3 down for you too, or is that a me problem? I'm about to check the tumblr page to see, but like, you too?

[purplesage135]

Down again, ya

[eldercypress]

...

There's only so many times I can drink a cup of water or eat a snack in a short period of time.

What am I supposed to do? Pace around and hallucinate w/ music? Or make my 30th D&D Character this year?

[purplesage135]

Just actually hallucinate

[eldercypress]

Now fortunately, I do not have a hallucinogenic disorder. However that also means I can't do that unless something is very, very wrong.

Altough, AO3 being down would qualify as that...

[purplesage135]

youtube video amd pitch black silent room trust

[eldercypress]

That might work. Oo, I can also stare at my reflection in a mirror until my brain starts doing weird shit, consequently reawakening my fear of mirrors. Wait no, then I'd try to go back to AO3 to console myself, remember it's down and them be depressed AND terrified.

Might still if they're down too long...
