nvm give me attention

so uh. vision boards for my writing.

[matroc-envision]

okay! third time tearing down and completely revamping this account, hopefully this one sticks. if you want to know, this is a visionboard/moodboard/aesthetic account for @goingnearlyinsane 's writing (turns out this might just be writing. Soz to anyone who's here for the aesthetic part). as on there, my preferred name is matthew although rocky is the name i use on my writing accounts (hence 'matroc' i.e. matthew/rocky). uh, i think thats about it. i'll tag my characters, spoilers if i think i need to, and common triggers. (if anyone does end up following me, just tell me if theres anything you want me to tag for.)

oh also! if you want to give me criticism/ideas on my characters or writing, feel free to.

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.”

BRUH--

i had never been more fucking terrified of this man in my life he went full gotdamn feral animal for hugh campbell and i just--

i love how he just moves slightly and it busts the vents even moar liek--

CAMPBELL!!

listen.

this sparked somethin' in me somethin' terrible butt

i need a whole ass survival horror game based off the boys now.

it's just homelander vs the boys (one at a time) and the goal is to outmaneuver/escape him while he's trying to murder you (one of the boys). each character having their own special skill set to help them along--can possibly help each other *if* they survive.

you start as hughie, who has the least skill and have to go through something like a maze with zinc, helpless and unable to fight back as homelander tries to find you, and if he catches you--he kills you and you have to move on to the next character--make it harder. the next play can get the previous character killed.

i want his behavior to react dependent on how the player plays and whether or not the characters survive or get caught. i want him to make things personal when he can. each level gets more difficult and depending on what you do his bloodlust may get worse--

I WANT HIM TO BE IN NO RUSH TO CATCH YOU.

i want the final stage to be as billy and depending on whether or not homelander's killed all of the others or if they survived will decide how he responds to billy and vice versa.

i want it to be no good ending with easter eggs and twists and just completely off the rails utterly terrifying--

gaaaawwwwwwwwd someone please make it--

fun fact~!

they actually use zinc in the metal of vents (which is why he couldn't just x-ray them to find hughie--nice touch<3!!)

Yeah yeah yeah it's generic and amateurish and frankly trite, but is it earnest? Is it sincere? Is there a heart underneath it all

[1percentcharge]

sometimes when I really like a piece of media that almost nobody else has seen I start to make up a shitty fandom and discourse in my head. I have full conversations with myself in the roles of unwell tumblr users trying to doxx each other over a slightly controversial ship

[phantominzie]

Hey so, I know I'm not original on this one like, at the fuck all, but PLEASE if you enjoy a fic SHOW THE AUTHOR!! LEAVE KUDOS, WRITE A COMMENT, KEEP COMING BACK WHEN A CHAPTER IS POSTED!!!!!!!

It's discouraging when you can see your chapters getting read, however no one chooses to leave a mark of their satisfaction with the work! It never takes long, and I promise all it does is put fuel in the tank for writers!

TLDR: COMMENT AND KUDOS FICS YOU LIKE!!!!!

[a-three-part-mini-opera]

PLEASE I SEE SO MANY VIEWS ON MY WORKS AND THEN MAYBE 50% LEAVE KUDOS, AND THEN LIKE TWO COMMENTS. YOU CAN EVEN COMMENT SAYING IT SUCKS, I DON'T CARE. PLEASE I'M DYING HERE.
