"Some beginning writers weigh down their speech tags with adverbs that tell the reader what the..."
“Some beginning writers weigh down their speech tags with adverbs that tell the reader what the character is feeling, although it is patently obvious from what she just said. Other writers have been taught that there should never be adverbs in speech tags at all, under any circumstances; that adverbs in speech tags are inherently wrong.
We feel there is a middle course. It is only when adverbs get into the wrong hands that things get ugly. Adverbs don’t kill dialogue; careless writers kill dialogue.
Overuse at best is needless clutter; at worst, it creates the impression that the characters are overacting, emoting like silent film stars. Still, an adverb can be exactly what a sentence needs. They can add important intonation to dialogue, or subtly convey information. “I love you, all right?” he said jokingly is miles away from “I love you, all right?” he said coldly. But avoid at all costs “I love you, all right?” he said lovingly.”

It’s for cosplay reference.
I find it interesting website called “Busou Sakura” (You need google translate, it’s Japanese website) . It’s a real-size weapon collection shop where you can buy and create your own weapon. (Except it’s cost the budget to buy specific items OTL).
There is tutorial guide how to create/fix Dominator (Psycho Pass) and Thompson Contender (Fate/Zero) including bullets. Go to this link: (source. Please.Just.Look.At.It)

Since my eyes couldn’t handle the 3D of a bigger screen (and I do cherish my old 3DS too much), I’ve decided to make someone on tumblr happy with their very own Pikachu Limited Edition 3DS XL! I’m really excited to be doing this, and I can just hope it will make someone smile.
No, I won’t be selling it. I am not obligated to answer why, because if you honestly want me to sell it, my answer won’t be sufficient for you. Message me off anon if you’re really dying to know.
Now that the boring parts are over with, let’s go over even more boring stuff, shall we?
- Reblogs and likes both count and will combined give you two entries.
- You don’t need to be following me. However it would be nice to meet new people, and I do post a lot of Pokémon.
- I’ll ship internationally, but the system is European.
- No giveaway blogs.
- Have your ask box open so that I may contact you.
The giveaway will end on May 10. Have fun, okay? (◡‿◡✿)

Dove hired a forensic artist to draw how women see themselves versus how others see them - the results are moving.
this was so moving.
Yeah, I cried. I’m a baby.
Wow.
I would love to do this. I would love to know what others see.
wow. powerful.
I am legitimately crying. This is amazing.
We may view ourselves as ugly, unapproachable, unlovable, but the way others view us is so drastically different from how we see ourselves… It might be difficult for us to imagine or believe but there is a beauty there, in all of us. Notice how some of the clips used described not only a physical feature, but something else about it, like the man who said the woman’s eyes lit up as she spoke. There’s a beauty in little things like that which can speak volumes to other individuals.
never would’ve thought I’d find something this beautiful in a soap advertisement, of all things.
