If Carter told Benton what happened to him as a 11 year old then I am sure that Benton would've THROWN HANDS AT CARTER'S ENRIRE FAMILY, unlike Susan and Abby who laughed.

because I see this everywhere and most people don’t know about it. The hyphen(-), the en-dash(–) and the em-dash(—) are three completely different things with completely different uses. If you write fanfiction, it’s likely that your readers won’t care, but if you want to submit a manuscript for publishing, you need to know the difference. 

The hyphen (-) is the basic symbol you find on your keyboard, and it’s meant to only be used for hyphenated words (well-being, two-thirds). 

The en-dash (–) is a slightly longer dash. It’s usually the width of an uppercase N, hence the name. You can find it by looking through the ‘insert symbol’ option in MS word or many word processors, and it is meant to be used to show a particular distance, or for intervals (May–August, 1900–1916, pages 12–22)

The em-dash (—) is what people most commonly use, but they refer to it as a hyphen. It’s the longest dash, about the size of an uppercase letter M, and you can either find it through the list of symbols in your word processor, or some word processors actually automatically transform two hyphens (–) into an em-dash  (—). It is meant to be used as a break in the sentence, in a place where a comma, semicolon or colon would normally be used or as a break in dialogue. (Her niece—the daughter of her oldest sister—is the one over there.) 

He’s still holding himself on top, positioned as if he’s going to fuck him, but he’s not touching Robby at all.

Robby kicks and whines through the whole thing. Once Jack is done he places the filled toy on Robby’s tummy and lets it leak all over him talking about “don’t you wish that was you? If you had been good you could’ve had that inside you.”

"Sweetheart," Jack whispers gently, tenderly, holding Robby close. "This is what you want? You want me to wrap you up and hold you close?"

"I think- maybe, yeah," Robby mumbles into his shirt, gripping it, hiding but wanting to be close at the same time.

It's never easy for him to express his needs, so Jack is proud of him for doing so now. "I can do that," Jack whispers. "I can absolutely do that. I'll get the softest ropes, and I'll tie you up so pretty, just for me. You'll be safe with me. You can let go."

He's watched the way Robby will fight and squirm, restless, until there's something around him to ground him, whether that's a weighted blanket or Jack's arms. But he needs that pressure in order to relax and finally, finally feel safe. Jack will give him that.

It hits them one night when her and Dennis are staying up watching some stupid reality show together, and they have to go to bed because they were both falling asleep on the couch. Trinity makes fun of them for being old. They grumble with a smile. Robby walks behind the couch and drops a kiss on Dennis’s head before ruffling up Trinity’s hair just to piss her off. He walks out of the room with a “Night, kiddos.” Trinity and Dennis say goodnight, Dad both in the exact same mocking tone.

5 minutes later as rabbot are falling asleep:

R: did we accidentally adopt a 26 year old?
