Elongated syllables

Use only if absolutely necessary. Can be replaced with: Italics (e.g. “ Really. ”) Tildes at the end of the word (e.g. “ Really~ ”) Subbing effects/animation. Wrong: - Reeeeally - Are you heeeere - Loooooove~ - Lo~~~~ve (this will get you stabbed) - Love~~~~~~ (this is better but still bad) The only time these would be okay is if you were to fully animate them, be it with aegisub or asking an editor to do it for you. You can leave a TL note in the Sheet telling the subber that this line should 100% be animated. Use these extremely sparingly, only when pronunciation and emphasis on the word is indeed that strong. For a good example of when to use a repeating letter and how to potentially animate it, see this video for Aqua stretching “long” out for 7 seconds.
