idk I just love how we Young People Today use ~improper~ punctuation/grammar in actually really defined ways to express tone without having to explicitly state tone like that’s just really fucking cool, like
no = “No,” she said.
no. = "No,” she said sharply.
No = “No,” she
stated
firmly.
No. = “No,” she snapped.
NO = “No!” she shouted.
noooooo = “No,” she moaned.
no~ = “No,” she said with a drawn-out sing-song.
~no~ = “No,” she drawled sarcastically.
NOOOOO = “No!” she screamed dramatically.
no?! = “No,” she said incredulously.
I’ve been calling this “typographical nuance” and I have a few more to add:
*no* = “No,” she said emphatically.
*nopes on out of here* = “No,” she said of herself in the third person, with a touch of humorous emphasis.
~*~noooo~*~ = “No,” she moaned in stylized pseudo-desperation.
#no = “No,” she added as a side comment.
“no” = “No,” she scare-quoted.
wtf are you kidding no = “No,” she said flatly. “And I can’t believe I have to say this.”
no no No No NO NO NO NO = "No,” she repeated over and over again, growing louder and more emphatic.
nooOOOO = “No,” she said, starting out quietly and turning into a scream.
*no = “Oops, I meant ‘no,’” she corrected, “Sorry for the typo in my previous message.”
I cannot express how strongly I absolutely love language and writing and communication but if anyone asks why I will be showing them this post from now on
this is great, but I got to “no no No No NO NO NO NO” and immediately started singing “mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia let me go”
no no no nO (no no no)= “No,” she said, sticking to the status quo
Now, When I had the script of this comic in my (rhetorical) hand, that detailed what happens on what page, I couldn’t believe I got this page. It is a huge honor that I could do a page this important. <3
Now this is a record page for dialog Angelo has spoken.
The other day, I was riding the bus with my colleagues. We were all wearing our “Down With C.I.S.” shirts (”C.I.S.” stands for “Communists In Seattle”, an extremist left-wing organization who we, as young conservatives, all strongly oppose) from the anti-communist rally we had just attended. We had a great turnout and were heading downtown to celebrate at a local restaurant. Suddenly, as the driver pulled up to the bus stop, I spotted two young men walking down the sidewalk, one of whom had Leiurus quinquestriatus – the death stalker, one of the most deadly and poisonous scorpion species on Earth – crawling around on this totally oblivious gentleman’s back!
Overcome by responsibility, my companions and I swiftly leaped from the bus and onto the young man, tackling him to the ground and trying to kill the deadly scorpion. Unfortunately, the tricky arthropod began skillfully darting back and forth, dodging all of our blows. In our panic to save the young man from the death stalker, we accidentally landed quite a few blows on the man himself, but figured he would certainly prefer that to the instantly paralyzing toxins of a scorpion. We finally got the scorpion, but as we withdrew from the man, he turned and began attacking us, interpreting our attempt to rescue him as an attack! We tried to explain the situation to him but the situation had escalated too quickly. Sensing no other options, my friends and I fled.
We don’t know his name, and I don’t know how, but if there was some way to use social media to relay this message to the man we rescued from the death stalker scorpion, we would certainly appreciate clearing up this misunderstanding. Down with communism.
Today the Department of Awesomely Good Deeds salutes John Wells, an alternative energy and sustainability researcher located in the desert area of Terlingua in SW Texas. John set out a bucket of water with a GoPro in the bottom in order to see what sorts of animals would stop by for a drink.
“Everybody loves water in the desert. I was pleasantly surprised during the edit to see that George made an appearance. I know him from all the other rabbits because of the tiny notch in his ear. A burro just happened to come by in time to be included. Ben went against the script and decided to just nudge the bucket. You can lead a steer to water but you can’t make him drink. Note: The swimming bees were rescued.”
