still thinking about a discord message one of my mutuals sent me a few years ago that read:

bucky barnes 🤝 spencer shay

guys with chin length dark hair coming home to find sam on their couch unannounced

Now we're here

This video is a hate crime against Italians

Gold in the tags

the unfortunate thing about the second season being 10 months into the future is that we'll never see a bit where javadi gets to private investigator levels of nosy about why santos and whitaker are Like That and concludes they are dating. and when she tells them this, they both look at her like she's killed their childhood pets.

I need an alternate timeline where Santos drops the scalpel in Abbot’s foot, he has the same reaction as Garcia until he starts laughing, and that’s how we learn he has a prosthetic.

I’ve spent all Easter weekend camping and writing a nowhere boys fanfic and I’m sooo close to finishing, I’m just missing a little bit of the middle and I have no idea how to end it

But I’m so happy that I actually wrote so much in the last three days in between all the card games

It’s mainly Jake centric and I’m excited to make a contribution to the fandom of one of my favourite shows as a kid

"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."

reblog to make someone bisexual

Something I loved about the finale of The Pitt was that they looked tired. Mohan and Mel had bags under their eyes and they looked so tired and I loved that it looked so real

me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

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.”

Did the police ever consider that McKay drilling a hole in her ankle monitor was hot and she shouldn’t be arrested for it???

What the hell was that captain tuttle episode? That was amazing

There was something so sweet about season 1 episode 13, how Hawkeye softened up and genuinely wanted to help Edwina

Update: I’ve been able to upload Nowhere Boys: the Book of Shadows at last! The link below still works, so now you’ll find all 4 series/seasons plus the movie there. There still aren’t unfortunately highest quality versions of S4, but as I said that’s alright, the versions available are good. And it’s still okay to share these posts and the link.

I had to get the movie from a different source than the episodes, and although it’s still high-quality and mostly HD, there are a couple of places where the quality drops a little or it behaves slightly strangely (fewer since I edited it!). The subtitles for book of shadows are heavily edited by me, colour coded by speaker (or the main/more important characters anyway) and I used non-standard colours to do a colour per speaker, and it might be that this makes them less useful so if this is the case, please let me know and I’ll make a version without colours, or at least with only standard colours. I also don’t know if the colours will even show up, depending on what player you’re using (they only worked for me in vlc player and the embedded player in the subtitle editing programme I used).

(Redo 1 of the Nowhere Boys drive link addition to my last Nowhere Boys post as a separate post in hopes at least one version will find people because the reblog doesn't show up, this one with the link)

If anybody in the Nowhere Boys fandom (or otherwise, it's a good show) hasn't seen some or all of Nowhere Boys and would like to, or has seen it but wants to have the episodes to keep, I now have Series(seasons) 1-4 uploaded to a Google Drive (and I'm working on Book of Shadows/the movie, there's a folder for it but it's not in it yet, it will be when I can get everything sorted with it). Here's the link (hopefully Tumblr won't eat this post):

Nowhere Boys

If this post does get eaten, there will be another post without the link and people will have to message me for it, I guess. Or if there's enough demand I could post it in my bio or something?

Also, if the post doesn't get eaten and people actually see it:

it's okay to reblog this post (and the other versions) if you want/think it will find other fans (or I guess share the link without my post, I'd appreciate if you'd please let me know if you're doing that but obviously I can't make you).

for reasons unknown to me, the video quality of series 4 (apart from episode 1, weirdly, which is as high-quality as series 1-3) is a bit worse than the previous series even at maximum, although still very watchable. If they (by which I mean the BBC because I've got the main series from the iPlayer) do ever post better versions, I'll get them and replace the current ones, but as it is, those are okay and certainly better than nothing/some other sources.

I've included the (English) subtitles with everything, in case anybody else wants them (just .srt files at the moment, although I think I could maybe also get different file versions, like .ttml, if that's wanted/needed for translation/whatever other reason).

I did this for a Twitter groupchat of fans (not very active anymore but if anybody wants to join we'd be happy to welcome you), but I thought it might get to a slightly wider audience here and it wouldn't hurt me to offer it to more people.

i love characters who are like oysters emotionally

SAM CLAFLIN And ÀSTRID BERGÈS-FRISBEY As PHILIP SWIFT And SYRENA PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES

Of all things in the episode today, I did not expect to see a birth.

Also TRINITY SANTOS - love that she speaks Tagalog

YES! This is something that I often think about. Modern media doesn’t excite me that much when there’s romance. I’m a sucker for communication and I get so frustrated these days.

My taste in romance has less to do with how romantic the relationship actually is (though that is a bonus) and more to do with how interesting I find the dynamic between the couple. Which is why fluffy vanilla romance usually bores the hell out of me. I want to see how these characters dramatically affect each other and fundamentally change each other and their individual understandings of the world!!! I want to see a beautiful tie-in between the romance and the themes + messages of the story and how it all builds to a climax!!!

ao3 is down and a cyclone is happening, how the hell am I supposed to survive in these conditions?

Benton & Carter: *rarely physically affectionate in the show, only happens on rare occasions to emphasize importance*

Meanwhile, the actors in real life:

Why are kie and jj lovers in a homies way? And why are jj and pope homies in a lovers way??
