The Anatomy of Tom Swifty
A little literary history lesson for you all:
According to Wikipedia and Fun-With-Words, the type of pun known as a "Tom Swifty" derives from an adventure book series about a hero named Tom Swift. In 1910, Edward Stratemeyer invented the character and the series was penned by Stratemeyer and/or a series of ghostwriters (the two sources seemed to disagree) under the pen name Victor Appleton. Regardless, the authors had an aversion to repeating the phrase "he said" or "she said" when writing dialogue and often replaced the simple phrase with a more descriptive, and flowery, alternative. Here are some (pared down) examples from Tom Swift and his Airship:
"Oh, I'm not a professor," he said quickly.
"No professor?" cried Miss Perkman indignantly.
"Say something, Tom — I mean Mr. Swift," appealed Mary Nestor, in a whisper, to our hero.
"I — I don't know what to say," stammered Tom.
This style became iconic and it was easy to parody. The result was a sub-group of Wellerisms (a category of puns) called Tom Swifty. The name itself derives from the oft-used adverb ending "ly" (though it was ultimately shortened to "y").
Now to the heart of the matter:
A Tom Swifty is a carefully worded quotation followed by "[said] Tom [potential modifier]" where the words in brackets are replaced with other words that give the quotation double meaning when interpreted literally or sounded out.
They are also much easier to understand by seeing examples.
"I am neither person, place, nor thing," Tom denounced.
"Did I mention I can juggle chainsaws?" Tom said, offhandedly
"I said my garden needs another layer of mulch," Tom repeated.
"Oh no - I dropped the toothpaste!" said Tom, crestfallen.
"Of course I'm wearing my wedding ring," said Tom with abandon.
"Excuse me, could you tell me how to get back to China?" Tom asked, disoriented.
For a more daring challenge, even the name can be changed to modify the pun.
"Who discovered radium?" asked Marie curiously
"Simply put, the doctor said I have split-personality disorder," said Tom, being frank.
These wonderful samples were taken from a Reddit post (a few were altered slightly).
In conclusion, Tom Swiftys are terrible groaner puns which I will occasionally be posting in the future.
Love's a Witch
Three witches convenes in a coven
And summoned a penis for lovin'.
They found him too cold,
So a witch, who was quite bold,
Heated it in a microwave oven.

Yet another entry from the Rouge Writer Raph.
It’s the about f o n d n e s s your honour
Somebody stop me- I am two seconds away from writing a whole journal about another fictional species. I want to know how these things live and I am unfortunately very familiar with the process of making fictional species. I made a whole slew that I still haven't quite finished, but most of them are done and the only one I haven't completed is the freaking sentient water. If I actually sat down and focused on it for a couple minutes, I could probably be done with it-
Getting off topic!! Anyway, the only thing that's really stopping me right now is that I don't have my computer. And that it's past midnight and I should very much get to sleep rather than staying up and typing things.
More old sketches of Jeanne. Figured it would be fun to look back on all the changes I made to her while I edit the first chapter of my Hogwarts Legacy fic. Honestly, she hasn't changed all that much - it's mainly just little things like her accent and her impatience for idiocy lol.
And yes, she would absolutely still cuss out Rookwood if the opportunity arose (especially after what I have planned for his character [insert evil laugh])
