dulcet tones

A sound or voice so gorgeous you just have to listen to it again and again no matter what.

So recognisable that even the faintest hint of it in the distance can send your mind reeling.

Tone Tags

Tone tags help convey tone of voice over text. Often used by those who are neurodivergent.

I advise people to use tone tags to prevent future confusion and distress.

Guide:

/j = joking
/hj = half joking
/ij = inside joke
/c = copypasta
/ly = lyrics
/t = teasing
/lh = light-hearted
/s = sarcasm
/rt = rhetorical question
/srs = serious

/g = genuine
/p = platonic
/r = romantic
/neg = negative connotation
/pos = positive connotation
I love you!!!! /p”
This could have been read as romantic but the tone tags helps you realize it is platonic love.

earth tone hipster

Breed of hipster who dresses exclusively in earth tones - tans, grays, dark greens, etc. - and sometimes other muted colors. To the untrained eye (i.e. someone only accustomed to hipsters who wear bright, multicolored and/or metallic clothes), an earth tone hipster may fly under the radar.

Earth tone hipsters often have intellectual inclinations and their 'quieter' clothing (compared to that of their loudly-colored cousins) reflects their 'introspective' tendencies.
Nick: Hey, you said your school is full of hipsters but I don't see any metallic silver leggings.

Sophie: Shh, they're all over the place. You just can't see them because they're all intellectual-type earth tone hipsters and they blend in with their surroundings.

Tone Indicator

Tone indicators are used at the end of sentences to show the writers true intent. They are very helpful to neurodivergent people.

Some tone indicators are

/r = Romantic
/p = Platonic
/g or gen = genuine
You're so stupid I hate you /j
