Drowning emotions - Levi Drabble

Laying in a bathtub surrounded by the buzzing of fluorescent blue lights. The sound of swishing water from Henry’s small tank; the fans and buzzing of the monitor nearby.

So much noise yet so quiet at the same time…

Emptiness and solitude is all he can feel, He yearns for something more…something physical ; That can get rid of the stabbing pains of loneliness. He feels so numb that it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly he feels……

It makes him so envious, so jealous that everyone else feels better; while he has to suffer the pains of these emotions. While the world goes on without him. That his brothers enjoy life while he’s stuck in his room drowning in the buzzing and swishing of noises.

Drowning in the emptiness

Drowning in the numbness

Drowning in the world he has created that causes him such endless jealousy and suffering.

He knows he can’t blame the world. He chose to stay in and loathe in the feelings that he feels too comfortable in. Yet he still is envious of the world; the very world he wishes to be apart of, and not the one he created that he drowns in every day… Quietly under the dim blue lights and tanks of water while he lays beside numb and alone.

Drowning in solitude and envy

as a writer it is my sole purpose to make sentences as complicated and overly punctuated as possible in order to show my immense knowledge of the craft (i don't know what half of these symbols mean)

*this isn't meant to criticize people who make these mistakes in any way, especially anyone who isn't a native English speaker. Grammar doesn't really matter, especially on social media.

**this isn't including anything that can be attributed to a specific dialect like AAVE, these aren't wrong, it's just a way of speaking

***this also isn't including anything that's a conscious choice like replacing words with emojis or shortening words/using acronyms

****I am guilty of a lot of these, I know

Grammar rant time.

I see this construction somewhat regularly and it drives me crazy. Say is intransitive. Whom isn't the object of anything, it's the subject of its own clause and should therefore be who. Probably it's done in imitation of sentences like this:

But the sense is completely different. (Made is transitive with whom as object; they're both part of the same clause.)

Gah.

Uhm... how is it correctly written?

Hello, I am trying to find some advice about something that has been bothering me because of how confusing it is...

So, how do you use the Possessive Apostrophe correctly?

The S at the end. Let me give you an example.

Lynas' dress stirred as she danced.

Lynas's dress stirred as she danced.

How is it used correctly? I am trying to get it right, but everywhere I read tells me a different thing. Some editors preferred to use the S at the end noun ¨Lynas's" instead of "Lynas'". But said that, it's not really grammatically incorrect either.

Others said that it was a rule before and changed. Or that they were thought to do it in a way.

Some even said that is a preference in how you wanted to write it. Is that true?

Please, Obi-wan, I need help.

I'm going to play Granblue Fantasy games and then watch the Animation. It looks like a lush world full of intriguing sights and lore. It will have two games, one Fighting and one RPG, by next summer and I'm already behind. Tons of merch is also available for the series as well. I want to know what you think about this 🤔.

Idk, I feel like we shouldn't say "queers."

Historically it's pretty clear that the plural form is faggot. Saying queers just makes you sound stupid.

Like, you don't say "meese," when you see more than one moose. You say Elk.

Like c'mon y'all, I know we all passed grammar

Ironically for a group of people so concerned with the rules of language, people who police grammar fundamentally fail to understand how language works.

For example, in South Yorkshire dialect 'gennel' is a correct (and most common) way to refer to an 'alleyway', it's correct vocabulary. In exactly the same way 'me phone' instead of 'my phone' and 'head shops' (like you'd say 'head home') are correct grammar in our dialect.

The idea that the way we've always talked is somehow wrong or indicative of low intelligence because some posh southerners had the political and cultural power to codify their dialect as 'correct' is completely ridiculous.

Policing grammar is built on and reproduces unequal power relations of class, race, ethnicity & culture and region. For a far more serious example think about how AAVE is derided and treated like a punchline.

Cut that shit reyt out

Love my friend dearly, but I also have to share this with all of you as an MLA lover and English enthusiast. My friend was working next to me on a five-page essay for a science class, and using the initial draft she got feedback on to make adjustments, I started helping her with some general things.

And after I start to revise... everything starts moving—moving like I just slapped an image in the middle of a Word document. I investigate, and there is a manual space between every line...

I question her, and this poor woman goes, "Oh, it's supposed to be double space since it's MLA format." I had a heart attack right then and there; I'm surprised I'm alive.

I showed her where the line spacing settings are. I asked ChatGPT to remove all the paragraph spaces from the essay and then fixed it for her in her document. I put her details in the heading and showed her the citation tool, then shared my MLA format template with her. I also encouraged her to come to me if she ever has an academic question or wonders if something seems unnecessarily difficult to execute.

It was horrific and I feel bad that she's gone through school like this, if only schools made sure their students were taught what they require of them.

Extra little fun detail:

I asked if she ran it through Grammarly, and she asked me how to do that

DON'T WORRY; I AM HERE TO HELP AND SUPPORT YOU!!!!!!!!!!
