Hey is there anyone who like knows how to write or draw or something who can make some Steuponceau/steubenceau/ whatever the hell you wanna call them, Von Steuben/Du Ponceau content because PLS PLS PLS I am the only one remaining in this fandom istg thanks I'm writing a thing about them but I'm only about 2k words in so yay

I need content grrrr

I've resorted to reading ai fanfiction. :(

😰

thinking back to when this textbook in a chapter about 18th century Prussia and Frederick the Great described the Hans Katte incident (the red underlining and everything preceding), while referring to Hans Katte as his friend, then wrote "This incident, however, did not change the future monarch's preferences" (purple underlining). The ruler was also considered a master of blowing the flute (green underlining)".

Can NOT get over Palmer's biography of Von Steuben calling Du Ponceau "callow" fight me on this idc that he was like 17 he was the most mature person on that boat

Hey hey! (Fellow?) Stutterer here! I 100% agree, but I will add, block stutters aren't

"L-ike this"

It's more of... And I'm dead serious,

". L- kind of- s-SIMILAR TO THIS!"

how would you properly write dialogue for a character with a stutter? ranging from a barely noticeable one to a very extreme one. thanks!

How to Write Dialogue for a Stuttering Character

@brynwrites made an excellent post about this that I found while researching and it can be found here. It's a long post but it goes way more in depth than I did.

Types of Stutters:

Repetition of certain sounds: “Li-li-like this” or “Like-like-like this.”

Prolongations: “Llllllllike this.”

Blocks: “L—ike this.”

Rules for Stuttering: (This is mostly for block stuttering, but many apply to other types of stuttering as well. provided by this article)

Stuttering occurs on the first sound of the word. It will not occur mid word or on the first full syllable. (s...s-ample. NOT sam...sam-ple)

Do not write a stutter more than once in a single sentence or three times in a single paragraph. If the scene is a high-stress situation, you might be able to get away with it, but your readers do not want to read block paragraphs of stuttering.

Choose 3-7 sounds for your character to struggle with. People tend to get blocks on particular sounds. For example, b, p, k, w, g...)

Use another synonym for the word they are struggling with. Example: "You look g...g... really pretty."

Don't have your character stutter in every conversation. Under high stress, the stutter will be more frequent, under low stress they may not stutter at all.

If you use the dialogue tag, "he stuttered," do not write the stutter in the quote. If the character is stuttering in their sentence, you don't need to write out the fact that they were stuttering.

Do not write a stutter in thoughts. People with a stutter do not stutter in their thoughts. Just don't do this. It's unrealistic and insulting.
