A reminder that darker fiction has a right to exist and explore themes that people are uncomfortable with. Yes, even if it's romanticized. Yes, even if you personally don't like it.
Authors have always written about things that they don't agree with morally, and I hope to god they always will, despite how shitty people treat them for doing that now.

Kiran Singh, 17/18
Stoner-esque guy
Quite chill. Old white people don't like him, but most other people think he's okay
Doesn't have many friends.
Has these thick rectangular glasses he only wears at home despite having the vision of a goldfish
One of five (5) non white families in the small town of Gunnard (population ~4000)(separate from Gunnard the suburb, which I also made up)
Kind of a nerd (good at maths, video game addict etc.)
Goes to a public high school a few minutes away from home
Currently flirting with a blonde girl in Theo's friend group (mainly late at night in the drive-thru)
Has a couple piercings
Childhood friends with Theo, then he (Theo) disappeared off the face of earth before abruptly returning to town a few years later. Kiran is still angry at him for it.
Natural habitat: His bedroom, behind local IGA, McDonald's night shift, under school bleachers, Theo's house, middle of the forest
Theodore 'Theo' Winters 17/18
Kiran calls him 'tay-oh' (or other nicknames), everyone else calls him 'te-oh' or 'th-e-oh'
Nice, charismatic person
According to Kiran: He's rich, smart, charismatic and attractive. It's insane. Well, to other people anyway. Also, his house is massive. He lives in like, a cul-de-sac but his house takes up the whole end of the road… see, his house is at the end, and then the garage is here, and his pool is behind the house and…
Kind of [definetely] a nepo baby
Teachers really like him
Everyone really likes him actually
Used to go to the private school across town, but now goes to Kiran's school due to [insert something vague and weirdly-worded]
The years he went missing, he was travelling around Europe and the USA while filming a movie.
Natural habitat: Performing arts hall, his house, top of the bleachers surrounded by friend group, Kiran's house, edge of forest.
I'm getting gradually better + faster at coming up with names!!! Everybody clap for me.

but if you're fine with that
a/n: This is a story I worked on as writing warmup and (original) character study, but eventually spiraled into a full-on spinoff for my main story, which is based in this. Mind this is probably a really shoddy draft, but I take beta readers! wc: 754
100 Dialogue Tags You Can Use Instead of “Said”
For the writers struggling to rid themselves of the classic ‘said’. Some are repeated in different categories since they fit multiple ones (but those are counted once so it adds up to 100 new words).
1. Neutral Tags
Straightforward and unobtrusive dialogue tags:
Added, Replied, Stated, Remarked, Responded, Observed, Acknowledged, Commented, Noted, Voiced, Expressed, Shared, Answered, Mentioned, Declared.

Note: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No I am NOT telling people to abandon said and use these. Yes I understand that said is often good enough, but sometimes you WANT to draw attention to how the character is speaking. If you think adding an action/movement to your dialogue is 'good enough' hate to break it to you but that ruins immersion much more than a casual 'mumbled'. And for the last time: this is just a resource list, CALM DOWN. Hope that covers all the annoyingly redundant replies :)

His hand is cold and slender, Lou thinks idly, like a corpse. The taller boy is passed out on Lou’s couch, using both his and the blonds sweater as a blanket. His hair, he thinks as he moves his hand back, is long and silky, like flowing water.
