Notes under the read more for the curious ♡
[1] It is proper to cite personal communications where you are citing the words someone told you, the author, through means the reader cannot access, be it personal interviews or non-archived social media posts. However, if the person you're citing is a part of your study, then it is improper to cite it as personal communications, you should just state their full name so proper credit is given to them (at least in APA, which is the style i'm most familiar with)
[2] only in-text citations are required for any and all non-recoverable sources (sources your readers can't access). There's no point in adding it to the References page since the readers can't reference it anyways.
[3] APA guidelines state that for any work with 6 or more authors, the in-text citation should immediately default to "[Surname of first author] et al.,", since it's understood that you can find the full author list on the references page. However, since personal communications are not required to appear on the references page, it is dubious whether it would be correct to use et al., at least the first time it is referenced.
re = dates. In personal communications, it's generally good practice to be as exact with the date as is possible. If it spanned multiple dates, use the most recent one. While I don't know when exactly OP was in communication with a Little Birdie, I wanted to showcase how all 3 styles differ in how they present the date. I find this hella annoying, it always trips me up when I need to work outside of APA (or whichever style I've been having to use the most often at the time), as well as when I switch between languages.
The full video is fascinating cause it really shows off what bizarre priorities the cybertruck has. It is actually bomb proof, the steel is very durable, also the accelerator will fall off if you hit it hard enough and dude found loose washers and duct tape in his car.
alert. alert. you have made a reply on a lesbians low effort vent post talking about your attraction to men. you are sentenced to being lightly shamed while continuing to have all your male-centric video game needs met by every video game in existence
I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw, a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently
The Watson: is present for the event but does not have the same level of perception as protagonist
The Lemony Snicket: isn't present for the event, reconstructs the facts based on later research, can get things wrong or incomplete
The Ted Moseby: is present for the event but has romanticised and embellished their memory of it through nostalgia to an extent that you cannot fully believe it; is also prone to misremembering or outright forgetting details.
The Katniss Everdeen: is present for the event, is the protagonist, but is completely foreign to the world and out of their depth so they don't quite understand a lot of what is going on.
The Rose Quartz: is present for the event, but due to their personal agenda or feelings of shame hides and embellishes what actually happened in favour of a version that paints them in a better light.
The Big Brother: overwrites what actually happened in favour of propaganda.
The Jonathan Harker: is absolutely clueless about what is going on around them and the genre they're in so their perception of events is tinted by their own naivety.
The Goob: the narrator's own emotional bias clouds their judgement of what really happened.
The Tyler Durden: the narrator is suffering from hallucinations and doesn't realise it.
The Pi: the narrator has survived a traumatic experience and copes with it by turning it into a wonderful tale.
