We all know that machines do not know or understand drama — that is why the AI’s em-dash is inferior to the fanfiction writer’s.

I could get deeper into it, but I think that if you would read something aloud with a dramatic pause for effect that is where you should have an em-dash. He is your friend who lives for drama.

The primary purpose of em-dashes is to connect clauses in a DRAMATIC fashion, particularly in ways to highlight that a clause is more important than other clauses that may be connected using commas. Em-dashes can also be used to show abrupt changes or enjambments in writing.

Steve drops the condom and Eddie twists the cap off the metal tube of K-Y with his thumb. <-- a run-on :( The FANBOYS and commas need each other. They are holding hands and kissing. Do not separate them, please

The first thing that commas can do is they can work with a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS - For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So) to combine two independent clauses. Basically, it can smush two or more sentences together with the right words.

[DEEP BREATH] Here we go. Commas and other punctuation. In Standard Written [American] English (SWE), commas have 8 different little jobs they can do. This is, unfortunately, just the start of why they are so difficult.

There is one secret thing that commas can do in an EXTREMELY SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCE. If you have two (or more) independent clauses that are connected with a semicolon AND they use the SAME LINKING verb for their predicates you can do this:

sure | an omegaverse🧵: steve harrington comes back to school after halloween looking beat to shit, and stinking unmistakably of alpha. nancy knows it's none of her business. she knows she has no right, even if steve had seemingly given his blessing for her to move on. "you presented," she says.

This is good news. And no, poor families do NOT have to have Netflix to access Sesame Street. Netflix will release episodes to PBS the *same day* they drop on Netflix, which is significantly better than the prior deal with HBO, which delayed episodes for 9 MONTHS before porting them over to PBS.

Saw this and thought my oomfs' feeds could use this

the baby is chrissy's. or, the long explanation: chrissy cunningham miraculously survives vecna, on account of eddie's flailing accidentally knocking over the radio and playing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun at the exact right moment. eddie munson doesn't. and then he does.

steve harrington's the kind of guy to find a baby on his front porch and just resign himself to being a parent. like. he's always wanted kids. and if the baby's face opens up when she needs to eat? and whatever she eats needs to be raw, freshly killed? well. every kid's got their quirks right?

steve 🖤

steve who has an african grey parrot who is very chatty and very clever. eddie, who figures out that steve has a crush on him bc whenever steve says eddie's name in front of his parrot, the bird makes kissy noises and wolf whistles 😭 (i fear it was the party's doing, but they have no regrets 🙂‍↕️)

baby steve has the seriousness and gravity of a very small child who thinks he's an old man, and also thinks he's right all the time. all the adults around him are weird and don't get it. he thinks everything eddie says is 100% correct. it hasn't occurred to him to ask permission for anything ever.

he's so sick of it he gets his little fishing rod and stomps off to find his boy. he's fishing him out. he's attached a battered little chrestomanci book as bait.
