i could be the white boy that was prophesised, i just need to play some funky music

this is my band lol

So we had a gig!

Honestly, it was probably the best show we've had so far (best of 3). I'm super stoked about our next one, and our first headline gig, at the Victoria in Birmingham. It's incredibly fun to get back on stage, and we all had a blast. The other bands present at the show were all great people, and even greater musicians (even if I hardly interacted with the one of them outside of giving them a hand during load-in).

For all interested, a link below will direct to an unlisted video on our YouTube account, showcasing a prior unreleased song called Hog. It's been our opener since we started last year.

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.”

this feels like a callout

Strong-looking vulnerable men......Strong-looking vulnerable men.

You know the type. Big hands, big shoulders, could probably bench-press a car, but the moment they sit down, they look like they’re carrying the weight of the whole damn universe. Eyes that are just a little too soft for a face that sharp. Like, are you okay? Do you need a hug? Do you want to cry into my arms for three hours?

They look like they could destroy you, but deep down, you know they'd rather let themselves break first. What is it about them? Why do they look like they could hold you together when they’re clearly held together with duct tape and desperation? It’s unhinged. It’s unfair. I want to fix them. Or maybe I want to fall apart with them. I don’t even know anymore.

I love them so much they make me lose myself

AAAAAAHHHHHH

Reblog daily for health and prosperity

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

Reblog if it’s ok for people to give you $599.99

the limp bizkit is essential for the vibe. it is deeply unserious music for a deeply unserious event.

i'm sorry but complaining about RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE being leftists? did they even fucking listen to what zack de la roche was singing? did they pay attention to a single fucking lyric?

the machine they were raging against was capitalism.

You hate that your favorite bands are exercising their free speech.

despite all my rage i am still just a hat on a mage

UPDATE UPDATE

friendzoned lol

so i guess i'm in a love triangle? gonna kms, will probably rb with elaboration later

going back to my previous rb, i usually want to be supportive of my friends, and help them in any way i can. but it's killing me this time around. it's rare that i act purely out of self interest, or even admit stuff like this to other people. it's not that i have a hard time opening up to people necessarily, it's just that admitting to someone about my feelings isn't something i like to do.

and at the same time, it seems easier to just let the two get together. it's hard, and i really don't want to just sit by, but i really cannot tell if he'd be into me at all as anything more than just friends. i also really do not want to ruin the friendship that we have, but the crush is very, very strong.

obviously, considering how much i'm writing on about this it's quite clear that the feelings have been happening again.

so i guess i'm in a love triangle? gonna kms, will probably rb with elaboration later

the problem with this is that i have issues, mainly with alcohol, that really do not help in these scenarios. so it's either i go sober for a month or two and work on myself, or i get drunk about it. i know what's easier (and more fun) but i did that the last couple of times, and it's not great.
