Gotta race to post this one today because the internet is veeerrrry precarious. I'm using that word correctly right? Sometimes I say big words but I have no idea if I'm using the properly. I don't know why I do it, they're just the first word that comes to mind usually. But I'm sorta guessing what it meant. It's weird that the first thing that comes to mind when saying something would be a complicated word your not even sure that you can spell or understand.

I feel like in general my diction has always flipped between very 'South London colloquial' and '...long...word...english'. It's something I catch a lot and I'm not sure what triggers me to go back and forth. It's kind of weird when writing dialogue as well cos sometimes I'll write a big word and then it's like...wait...would that character actually know that word or am I just doing that thing again?

I try my best to sort of know off the jump how a character speaks but some of them slip though the cracks. I would argue actually that Tuft is one of those characters. I don't know what accent he's speaking with or really even what he sounds like yet. And I'm not 100% sure that I've been consistent in his uhh..dialect. That's another fancy word I assume I'm using correctly. I guess that means that I just write Tuft how I talk/think, so I guess he just kind of sounds like me? But more like a cat. Whatever that means lol.

Maybe he's voiced by Antonio Banderas, like Puss in Boots.
