Woah, y'all, the silly texting stories have plot now. Are we getting a communication ark?

Really sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth for however long I've been gone, I've been dealing with some life shit lol. I'm hoping to start posting stuff more again though!

When I was rewatching We Buried The Wrong Guy for my latest fic, I was really paying attention to how the four main characters speak and it made me notice something really interesting. Their use of swear words

Here me out okay;

So Bella (Bitch Wife I use the fandom name for her cuz it feels rude) swears all the time about anything and everything. They're just part of the way she speaks, and she's not ashamed of that.

Meanwhile Johnny swears a little less, more so during intense moments. An interesting little thing is that the majority of his swears are at least somewhat directed at Bella/about her/because of her. I mean just think back to how many times he calls her a bitch. He's a little more particular with his swears than Bella, unless he's talking about her. Then they're flying out left and right. Almost like how he claims to be a much better person than her, but putting the two side-by-side reveals a lot of similarities.

Jonnie starts off as swearing just in the heat of a moment, but quickly devolves into swearing when he just doesn't know what else to say. Throwing them in as a filler were to buy himself more time to form a proper sentence. He started to use them even more than Bella, but his are much less meaningful because he doesn't actually intend them, you know?

Big Jimmy is where things get really interesting now. Assuming I can count correctly, he swears a whole eight times throughout the course of the whole play, and four of those are right at the end in the final scene. His four other swears are what I wanna talk about though. Because three of them, his first three, come from him quoting/imitating his parents. (Oh and his four swears in the last scene seem like he's directly imitating the way his dad talks too I just don't have the screenshots for those and felt more strongly about these examples)

And the fourth one is when Jonnie pulls a gun at him, which you know, pretty justified time to swear in my opinion

People are swearing all the time in this play, so I never realized just how little Jimmy swears, especially in comparison to everyone else. And that seven/eight times are him purposely trying to sound like his parents.

Really hope you enjoyed the very random analysis(?) of one of my favourite cast of characters Shoot From The Hip has. Hope my rambles made some amount of sense to y'all

Happy Ten Years to The Book of Life ! Look out for me nostalgia posting later but here's some art to celebrate featuring the ot3 of all time. I still think about this trio a lot, even if I don't have the art to show for it.

I wish I could have done more but life got really crazy in this final quarter of the year, maybe next year I can try some of the things I'd been planning, but for now here's this!
