i'm using a lot of semicolons in these and i gotta be honest i have no idea how you're supposed to use semicolons
Well, there are two schools of thought on semicolons; one involves a set of detailed, technical rules written by exactly the prescriptivist social engineers who also perpetrated shit like "he is correct and neutral for referring to a random person in general", and leads directly to the online peanut gallery who tiresomely answer "wow I don't have the rules memorised for semicolons" with "semicolons are extraneous lol!!!" — and mine is "wow that's too many commas, who wants to be levelled up to a rare shiny punctuation mark, lads?"
If you squint, tilt your head left 45 degrees, and smash your cranium against your desk for 3 minutes, my run-on sentences actually read like lyrics, it's fine, there is no problem here, I'm not being called out, mid-sentence ADHD is normal, actually, parentheses are for squares.
