Hot take: it's fucking idiotic to call someone who is just calmly trying to explain their actions or emotions 'rude'. It's ESPECIALLY idiotic to say that to a small child. You'll end up turning them into a fucking doormat unable to speak up for themselves (me)

Kids can't properly control tone yet. I ESPECIALLY couldn't due to autism. So to hold a kids tone to the importance of the tone of an actor on set to get the correct feel is completely idiotic. And some teen girls literally *just sound like that*. They aren't "being rude" that's just what her voice sounds like. They aren't "making excuses" they are genuinely trying to fucking communicate their reasons so that an understanding can be reached. This shit is why EVERYONE SUCKS AT COMMUNICATING AND WE NEED TO FUCKING STOP DISCOURAGING HONEST AND OPEN COMMUNICATION

Most kids are innately honest until they are taught to lie by society or their parents. By making them FEAR honesty. By punishing them for communicating you are teaching them to lie. You are making lieing feel like the safest option even when you punish for lies. Because at least with the lie there's a chance of no punishment, but with the truth you'll 100% get punished.

Maintaining a Consistent Tone

Tone is deceptively difficult to maintain because after we set up all the important worldbuilding stuff at the beginning, it can be easy to forget to reinforce those details that ultimately create the tone of our piece.

Tone is comprised of:

Voice

Subject matter

Core emotions evoked by characters/world/events/etc.

It’s important to maintain a consistent tone (or an intentionally evolving one) across your entire story as it acts as the background to what’s happening and is part of the hook readers are latching onto at the beginning. Imagine if Wednesday the show dropped the creepy act halfway through and just let the events play out amidst a normal, realistic backdrop. That’s not why we started the show, and so we’d likely not finish it.

To keep up the tone we establish in the beginning, you’re going to want to single out the key words, details, and moments that did that work for you. Word choices, character moments, introductions to settings, etc.

“creaked”, “whined” or “croaked” all mean the same but create a slightly different feeling--horror, drama, fantasy.

Do characters use a flashlight or a lantern or their phone light? Are there segments of silent introspection, or funny banter and quips?

Does the forest loom or does it blanket?

The details and words you pick out here should be maintained across the entire piece. It’s not enough to mention the first time they need a light they pull out a lantern, you have to make sure that detail keeps coming up all the way through the middle and the end too.

As well, these word choices impact the voice you are using, so sticking to the ‘vocab’ of your world is important in creating that tone (and a better overall flow).

Any other ways you can think of? Let me know!

story about pain, loneliness, love, anger and all things ends here.

sometimes, the garden that was once colorful and full of life, metaphorical happiness, is now sad and lifeless, like sadness. before it was full of people, now the garden is empty, with no one to take care of it and lonely. one day, these flowers will be filled with anger, they will become thorny and poisonous.

looove sherlock and co but if one of you bastards says that it's "just like bbc sherlock" again I will punt you directly into the sun

#this is a mystery podcast #bbc sherlock is a drama show with mystery elements #but that show mostly focuses on plot #sherlock and co as an extension of acd canon is thus nothing like it #the plot #characters #stories #tone #etc #none of it is like the show #just because it is modern does not mean it is equivalent #I rest my case goodnight #sherlock and co

Variants of the Adventurer drawing

I’m experimenting quite a bit with values, colors and textures. Trying to find something that looks good but also doesn’t take 50 years and could work in a comic

Feel the spirit, state of mind or particular emotion that lies within. Is it a mood that unveils a story or a tone that summoning the viewer to connect to the story?
