Inspired by Icarus, who dared to fly too near the sun on wings of feathers and wax. If he was in love with the sun, then this might as well be a story of forbidden love.
idk I just love how we Young People Today use ~improper~ punctuation/grammar in actually really defined ways to express tone without having to explicitly state tone like that’s just really fucking cool, like
no = “No,” she said.
no. = "No,” she said sharply.
No = “No,” she
stated
firmly.
No. = “No,” she snapped.
NO = “No!” she shouted.
noooooo = “No,” she moaned.
no~ = “No,” she said with a drawn-out sing-song.
~no~ = “No,” she drawled sarcastically.
NOOOOO = “No!” she screamed dramatically.
no?! = “No,” she said incredulously.
I’ve been calling this “typographical nuance” and I have a few more to add:
*no* = “No,” she said emphatically.
*nopes on out of here* = “No,” she said of herself in the third person, with a touch of humorous emphasis.
~*~noooo~*~ = “No,” she moaned in stylized pseudo-desperation.
#no = “No,” she added as a side comment.
“no” = “No,” she scare-quoted.
wtf are you kidding no = “No,” she said flatly. “And I can’t believe I have to say this.”
no no No No NO NO NO NO = "No,” she repeated over and over again, growing louder and more emphatic.
nooOOOO = “No,” she said, starting out quietly and turning into a scream.
*no = “Oops, I meant ‘no,’” she corrected, “Sorry for the typo in my previous message.”
I cannot express how strongly I absolutely love language and writing and communication but if anyone asks why I will be showing them this post from now on

3
million kids per month are absent from school due to bullying
20%
of kids cyberbullied think about suicide, and 1 in 10 attempt it
4,500
kids commit suicide each year
Suicide
is the No. 3 killer of teens in the US (car accidents #1, homicide
#2)
Suicide
is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in
about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every suicide
among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14% of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7% have attempted it
Bully
victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide
than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University
A
study in Britain found that at least half of suicides among young
people are related to bullying
10
to 14 year old girls may be at even higher risk for suicide,
according to the study above
According
to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30% of students
are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay
home from school every day because of fear of bullying
Do
you feel awesome? Do you feel important? You do, right? It makes you
feel tingly all over your body to write people such disgusting things
on the internet because you are insecure. Your insecurity kills you
inside, and to avoid these intense emotions of emptiness, you search for a
relief. You found one in the form of a ship, but you don’t leave it
at that—no, you need more. You need the ultimate kick, you need the
ultimate satisfaction, and you get your desired feeling of power
through bullying other people on the internet. Your complex of
inferiority is suddenly no longer present; instead, you believe you
are invincible for a couple of hours.
You
are a disgrace to the whole community and all fandoms ever. A toxic human that feasts on the hurt of others. I noticed you sent this to several people who criticise SS—not only me. Even though I don’t like SS, you are surely an embarrassment to the SasuSaku fandom. People like you make them look bad. You are truly pitiful. I would not want anyone to receive this, no matter if the person ships SNS, SS, NH, SK, NS, IS and so on.
And now, get lost! Or how we in Germany say it:
Verschwinde
und lass dich hier nie wieder blicken! :-)
“He’s behind me making that fucking face again. I don’t even have to turn around to know it. God damn it. I hate that goddamned stupid face he makes. God fucking damnit.”
