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.

"i wish i could speak to her again jus to hear those dulcet tones" see Ismay Collins

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.

Mosquito Toned

A prepubescent boy who has a voice so high it resembles the mosquito tone (a high pitched noise which can only be heard by people under the age of 30)

1. You join in a game on xbox/ps3 and are greeted by a lobby of screaming mosquito toned boys.

2.You are in the mall and are annoyed at a group of preppy mosquito toned boys who think they're cool.

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

/srs = Serious
/j = Joking
/hj = Half joking
/s = sarcastic

/r = Romantic
/p = Platonic
/g or gen = genuine

You're so stupid I hate you /j
I love you /p
You're so cool /s
With out tone indicators, these could have very different meanings /srs
