Of course the family that prints every second word bold for no fucking reason is into bold outfits.

There is a reason. The writer is trying to inject the exact tone of this conversation into the writing. If it were written plaintext, the reader could add their own emphasis to the words, and it might come out differently than the artist intended. When I’m making a more passionate point, I put a lot of words in italics—and I use a lot of M dashes. Because it paces exactly what I’m saying to make my point exactly how I want it to sound in your head.

Yes, we all know the reason. Nonetheless.

Making you feel bad literally affects the way you feel.

Feel cold? Well the solution to that is to just feel warm.
