This Is Fred, The Dot.

It’s so sad that we have to turn Stanley into a literal animal sometimes for Ford to love him again. (I’m 1000% behind this new Raven AU though, don’t get me wrong) 😭😭😭😭

AOGH- I do think Ford loves him but he's always so deep in the Nile it leaves me so bitter, I want to strangle that nerd.

Stan got turned into an animal but had also been living like one. For years. And I think the realisation of that is always sweet on Ford (GUIKTY FORD GUILTY FORD!!)

But while we're still on raven Stan: Imagine him staying with his bird habits. Bro will be sleeping in blanket nests.

He has a tendency to bow his head and look at you as he did as a bird and it's creepy at first until Ford realises it's how corvids show affection in a way. That he respects Ford.

Also?? Stan becomes even more of a menance after- "HEY! That's the fucker that (action that really doesn't matter in the long run) back in (years ago)!!" Bro will be holding onto those grudges even after he's human.

Ok point taken (fuckin chemists)

I love nerdy prudes must die because no one wins.

Everyone loses something, whether it's something they've worked their whole life to protect, someone they care deeply about, or even their own life.

No one wins.

Ted was supposed to be watching his little brother but he didn't feel like it so he called Paul

she yearns for the tub water. disgusting.

I have a specific and dire need of a suicidal Stanley Pines being taken care of by his twin brother, Stanford Pines, (and maybe others like rest of his family or fiddleford) and then he isn't so suicidal anymore but also still working things through.

If you have any recommendations, I will personally kiss you on the mouth- full homo.

Dialogue tips that actually work:

You are not writing a movie (ignore this if you are). The reader doesn't need to know every word the characters say for the duration of the story. Less is more.

Dialogue can happen within the prose. "And they awkwardky discussed the weather for five minutes" is way better than actually writing five pages of dialogue about the weather.

Balance your dialogues. Surprise yourself with a monosyllabic answe to a dialogue that's ten sentences long. Don't be afraid of letting your character use half a page for a reply or nothing at all!

Don't write accents phonetically, use slang and colloquialisms if needed.

Comma before "said" and no caps after "!?" unless it's an action tag. Study dialogue punctuation.

Learn the difference between action tags and dialogue tags. Then, use them interchangeably (or none at all).

Don't be afraid to use said. Use said if characters are just saying things, use another word if not. Simple. There's no need to use fancy synonyms unless absolutely necessary.

Not everyone talks the same way so it makes sense for your characters to use certain words more often than others. Think of someone who says "like" to start every sentence or someone who talks really slow. Be creative.

Use prose to slow down the pace during a conversation.

Skip prose to speed up the pace during a conversation.
