Alright stop right there. Take a look at the first part of that sentence. 

You’re telling folks that their equality, their status as a fully formed human being, is something they have to earn, something you have to approve of, something they are not automatically entitled to.

I don’t care who you are, who you’re talking to, or what the second half of that sentence is. You’re wrong.

Here fucking here.

We just came back from a Supernatural convention and now we have spare autographs, so we thought we’d do a big Tumblr giveaway!

Prizes

These 10x8” photos have been signed by Misha Collins and Mark Sheppard. They’re not prints, they have been touched by the actors themselves ;) We will pick two winners. The first winner will get their choice of autograph, and the second winner will get the other one. 

Rules

• You’re not obligated to follow Geeky Merch, but check it out - you might like it. :)
• You can reblog as many times as you like, just don’t be too excessive. If you use a giveaway-reblogs-only blog we won’t choose you, because spamming is unfair to everyone else who enters the giveaway.
• We will ship anywhere!

We’ll randomly choose a winner and message them on 20th June!

Good luck! 

Love from,
Geeky Merch ♥

This has long bothered me… Some people seem to feel that “he said” is a sign of weak writing. Honestly, the “<subject> said” clause at the end of dialogue is merely there as an anchor, not to add colour. In fact, using most of these “synonyms” (few of which actually are) makes absolutely no sense. For example, think for just a moment, completely honest with yourself: “How do you grin a phrase?” Try grinning and talking at the same time. I doubt most people will understand you…

We writers aren’t copping out when we write “he said” at the end of most lines. These parts of the dialogue aren’t even meant to be read. The only reason they exist are to remind you, should you lose track, who’s talking at a given moment. Amateur and beginning writers believe that words like these add emotion and pith to dialogue. The truly masterful writer will create that emotion with well-developed characters, sensory descriptors in exposition, subtle yet well-placed action descriptors, and properly-chosen words within the dialogue itself. If you have to tell your audience that “he demanded,” then he wasn’t demanding enough. It’s overused and cliché, but: show, don’t tell.

So, yes, I think I can write. And no, I don’t use more than “-blank- said” in most situations. The few words and situations other than “said” which I DO use could be easily counted on a single hand.

None of my characters have ever demurred their lines…

NEED.  THIS.

The i-cord business took a little longer than I thought it would, but here’s the finished cozy I promised! I really love how this one turned out, especially since I made a ton of modifications to the pattern (such as adding side panels and a buttoned flap over the back port, to say nothing of the dragonfly).

The next two pairs of CanCans are complete! The red ones are for fivefindeathkoi, made out of Aunt Lydia’s Classic Crochet, and the striped ones are for another friend who liked the first pair I made (she also picked out the yarn, which is Loops & Threads Luxury Sock).

Currently I’m working on a cozy for my DS Lite, which is actually near finished already, and that should wrap up fairly quickly once I learn how to make an i-cord. Might have pictures by the end of the evening.
