User blog:Explorer 767/Guide to Writing Mabel

Hello, folks! Explorer here! I've recently noticed that many new users adding to Mabel's quotes are Writing her OOC (Out Of Character). This blog should help put things straight when writing about Mabel.

Tip 1: Of Puffles and Evil Laughs
Spot the mistake in the sentence below.

"Clyde: Has anyone seen my propellor hat? It's been missing since Monday! Mabel: Oh, sorry. I found it and flushed it down the toilet. Clyde: WHAT?!?! Mabel: WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Did you get the mistake? It was that Mabel laughed evilly. Unless she has just committed an act of deep serious evil, Mabel NEVER laughs evilly. She either smirks or says nothing at all.

Tip 2: Xtreme Jetpack Whack-A-Mabel Cartz
Which of the following dialogues sounds cheesier and more OOC?

"A: Happyface and Barkjon take turns smacking Mabel with heavy pillows and shovels."

Or...

"B: Happyface holds Mabel while Barkjon takes a large hammer and hits Mabel 500,000,000 miles into the sky. She crashes into the moon and makes it blow up."

I know what you're thinking. A is totally weak and B is better. WRONG! B is the weaker sentence. In its extravagant abuse of Mabel (which pushes the COC), it ends in a flop and an extremely cheesy ending. At least Dialogue A sounds more measured and sensible. To the audience, B just sounds downright silly.

Lesson learned: '''NEVER GO OVERBOARD WHEN BEATING UP MABEL. STAY SENSIBLE AND FAMILY-FRIENDLY.'''
