The Person I Reblogged This From Deserves Happiness And Love

Reblog to make prev fall asleep feeling loved and wanted

based on data from AO3, the most popular ships with Kyoka Jiro in them are MomoJiro (Momo Yaoyorozu x Kyoka Jiro) and KamiJiro (Denki Kaminari x Kyoka Jiro).

The implications with these ships is that Jiro likes her women smart and her men to be absolute morons.

If a woman can recite a complex molecular formula, that's her type

If a man can locate Europe on a map, sorry, that's not for her.

Said softly refers to the tone of the speaker, as in the emotions present when speaking.

Whispered refers to the volume of what’s being said, as in how quiet or loud the words are said.

Yes, there is a difference, a somewhat significant one at that.

I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.

No comment but this is gold. English is one hell of a language.

How To Make Your Writing Less Stiff 6

Part 5

Part 1

Adverbs

Gasp! Oh no. Dare come yet more writing advice burning adverbs at the stake? Vindictively, gleefully, manically dancing in the ashes?

No.

This is not about whether or not you should use them, but their frequency and obvious places to replace them. Most bad adverbs are the common ones that could be replaced by verbs we all know.

“She ran quickly” // “She sprinted”

“He said angrily” // “He snapped” “He chided” “He chastised”

vs.

“He ate voraciously”

“She swayed solemnly”

“She laughed sadly”

Bonus if you can add in some alliteration like ‘swayed solemnly’

If you can come up with an obvious verb to replace your verb + adverb combo, do so. If it would take more words or the closest applicable verb doesn’t hit the same vibe, then leave it. Adverbs should enhance the verb, not be redundant. Verbs shouldn’t be pretentious just to avoid them.

“She smiled happily” — most smiles are happy. Happily is redundant.

“He ran quickly” —a run is, by nature, quick

vs.

“She smiled sourly”

“He ran erratically”

Also!

The adverb need not always be after the verb.

“C accepted gladly” // “C gladly accepted”

But also

“Glad, C accepted”

“A shook their head resolutely” // “Resolute, A shook their head”

“The child skipped excitedly away.” // “Excited, the child skipped away.” // “The child skipped away, excited.”

English is flexible like that.

Which is what I mean with managing your adverb frequency. As most end in the -ly, too many in succession, on top of the repeat syntax of Subject - Verb - Adverb looks boring and dull (and so does beginning every sentence with the subject). It helps with your cadence and flow if you don’t have entire paragraphs at a time all starting with “He [verb]” or “She [verb]” or “They [verb].” We don't speak like this in natural conversation.

But at the end of the day, there are some juicy adverbs that have no equal without busting out the thesaurus for some obscure lexical nugget that no one would understand anyway.
