“Woof!”
That beloved someone who used to be right there by your side.
Now they live in your heart—
but sometimes, just like this,
they quietly watch over you from somewhere out in the Dream Galaxy.
⸻
Doggo [noun]
1. A beloved family member who senses you’re preparing for a walk and instantly lights up.
2. A beloved family member who lies about lazily but suddenly wags their tail like mad the moment you glance their way.
3. A beloved family member who is the only thing in the house that can’t be controlled with a remote—yet is still adorable.
4. A beloved family member who furiously digs their bedding, then barks once as if nothing ever happened.
5. A beloved family member who gets startled by the tiniest sound, even though they’re absurdly alert.
6. A beloved family member who swallows food in a flash, but always spits out pills at the end.
7. A beloved family member who always uses the right spot to pee—only to step in it moments later.
8. A beloved family member whose awkward face is the most honest expression in the animal kingdom.
9. A beloved family member who isn’t sleepy or ill but occasionally just melts into your hands.
10. A beloved family member who joins in with howls during your child’s flute practice—ruining it with laughter every time.
11. A beloved family member who stares at you intensely, but looks away the second you ask, “What is it?”

joining the online part of the supernatural fandom late is so difficult because you guys love to make up new words, it's like learning a new language lol
no idea what you mean but anyway we have a "was jensen's silence really that sexy?" discussion in a min with a mitties and jitties posting break in the middle, so i gotta go i'm afraid
#we really do need another dictionary-style post at some point#for the newbies#anyway godspeed to u anon

what is bothering me about the title of goblin is of course the order of the adjectives. the lonely and great god. this sounds unnatural in english, i'm not sure if it's because of syllable count or because of the meaning/type of the adjectives, but it should be the other way around. the great and lonely god. the once and future king. you could get away with putting lonely before great if they were separated by a comma instead of "and", thus making "lonely" seem to be modifying "great god" rather than both lonely and great modifying god in an equivalent way, but there's an "and" in there so never mind. i plugged the korean title into google translate and i see that they've just kept the order that the adjectives were in in korean, which is disappointing because if that weren't the case it would allow me to believe that they had done it on purpose for some effect, like to really call attention to the fact of his loneliness through unnatural phrasing that makes it impossible for you to not spend time thinking about the word "lonely". but no it's just that they translated it and then no one was like hey this sounds kinda funky. ah well.
#the only reason i'm so annoyed by this is that i'm reading this french book about style written in the early 1900s#that is driving me a little insane and it is completely unrelated to the english title of this korean show from 2016 (obviously)#except that i'm now spending all this time thinking about what makes things sound natural or unnatural in a language#and i'm finding it a very frustrating experience because this french guy keeps saying that something 'blesse l'oreille'#and i'm like brother what are you on about. that sounded fine and normal to me??#he's like naturally all the best french authors avoid alliteration and assonance because they blesse l'oreille. and i'm like ??????#alliteration? alliteration is a tool my dude. used to achieve certain effects#it is not appropriate for all effects. sometimes it is distracting in a way that is counter to the author's intentions#but just like a blanket statement on never putting similar sounds near each other?what the FUCK are you talking about.#and like certainly some of this is that i don't have a native speaker's instincts in french. and i recognize that those do exist#like i have a native english speaker's instincts about what sounds natural which is why i feel so strongly about the title of goblin#(though of course there are different dialects so it's not like my instincts are everyone's)#so i know that some of the things this guy is saying that don't make sense to me probably make sense to a native french speaker#but then he says this shit about fucking ASSONANCE like that doesn't exist internally in REGULAR FRENCH WORDS??????#(let alone basically all of my favorite french words to say! because guess what i fucking love repeated sounds and i love that french#has so many of them. god! read an entire dictionary aloud and GET BACK TO ME DEAD FRENCH GUY)#and i'm like can i trust you or not. is this just prescriptivist bullshit or not. are you full of shit or not!!!#my posts#syntax#anyway. i have spent so much time thinking about the lonely and great god that at this point maybe i should just assume they did it#on purpose. aw you sly dog you got me monologuing about how lonely he is! good one

the more I write the more I start to notice the interesting smooth flowing phrases in the daily posts I scroll by and the more I yoink them to save in my notes app. Like a fisher hauling in today's catch. Be it a pretentious word for a specific act or a clevery strung phrase that made me pause the doomscrolling, sometimes just catchy lyrics from a song
#“Sublunar” was today's word for flowery ways to say mundane and earthly matters#And today's interesting sentence is “Either you best the boar or end up a mess of gore. To triumph or fall flat” From Stray Gods DLC songs#something something creating art is absolutely skillfully stealing or however that phrase went#“Good artists copy; great artists steal” was the full qoutr and it was said by.... Steve Jobs!???#No no steve jobs didn't say it he claimed Picasso said it#but no evidence support Picasso ever saying it so he pulled it out of his ass on the spot huh#Me? Where I heard it? In an Exurb1a youtube video where else#Love his writing and if you read my early stuff you'll see how influnced I was my his style... embarrassingly imitating it at times#BUT NOW I HAVE MY OWN STYLE YIPPE#and I know overcomplicated sentences and bloating your story with half the dictionary doesn't automatically equate good writing#But fuck me I love being a cornball I love poetry I love flowery lexicons and I love drama and emphasis!!#♧writing#editing that draft isn't going well how can you tellM#I'm just... demotivated about how it's over 6k now and literally only a handful of people will read it bc it's a niche ship and fandom#I POUR MY HEART ONTO THE PAGES OUT BUT NO ONE IS THERE TO STAND WITNESS#I'm doing it for me. I want it to exist. I want this story out there it's one of my most beautiful works!#And I say that about all of my works right after posting them I know but it's true and sincere.#I say it because for me it truly is my most beautiful work in that instant!#bleh too much vulnerability for one day goodbye gay internet people on my phone I will go write

no words activate my pathological demand avoidance like “you should be anti-[thing] because all the people who are pro-[thing] endorse [other thing]”
#no one has been able to explain to me what the hell a ‘radqueer’ or ‘proshipper’ is even once#all I ask for are basic dictionary-style definitions with parts of speech#and what do I get? ‘oh so you’re ONE OF THEM’

I feel like the musical Cats should really be counted as an opera and only isnt due to its age.
#I mean most of the words are sung#its a series of songs#you get spoken word in some operas like the magic flute#i meannn#cats fits this#cats is an opera trust me#soup speaks the bullshit#cats the musical#(Im joking bc the style id different but also technically it fits the dictionary definition)

Bob Dylan and polka dots
Retro style🟢🔴⚪
polka dot, noun [ C usually plural ] (also polka-dot, polkadot), uk /ˈpɒl.kə ˌdɒt/ /ˈpoʊ.kə ˌdɒt/ us /ˈpoʊ.kə ˌdɑːt/ = one of a large number of small, round spots that are printed in a regular pattern on cloth, etc. (Cambridge dictionary)
Let's go on vacation! But don’t get ahead of yourself yet! I have an idea for you! 😉
🔴⚪Why don't you dress up like this lady full in polka dots or imitate Marilyn Monroe's swimsuit style or just copy the look of Bob Dylan!🔴⚪


🛵You won't regret it and your vespa will thank you later!
How Polka Dots Really Got Famous and reached rockstar status?
''The 1960's hit, Itsy-Bitsy Teenie-Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini song by Brian Hyland, definitely gave the pattern more than fifteen minutes of fame, but there are some other big appearances that helped boost the polka dot’s popularity as well.
1962: DC Comics created the dot’s own superhero/villain, Mr. Polka-Dot.
1965: Bob Dylan donned a green polka dot shirt on the cover of his single “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues.”
1967: They made a museum appearance in Frédéric Bazille’s painting “Family Reunion.”
1979: Polka dots reached rockstar status when they appeared on Randy Rhoads' Flying V guitar. '' copied from Photo Cred: Town & Country

why is every tv show now about some “clever” dry intellectual white people taking for 25 hours in a 50/60 mins episode?
#Txt#and I literally can’t understand what’s happening#The severance succession the other one I don’t remember#Like man wtf bring some fun#Or very to show is about gay teenagers who know everything and every word in the dictionary to describe their feels and are woke#U guys remember teen wolf and that guy styles? We need to bring him back

went to sleep and decided to finish my shit in the morning bc i usually feel better in the morning and i did until i started these shitty assignments again and now im just miserable and stressed out and sleep deprived
#i don't dislike the teacher but i do dislike her teaching style#half our grades are based on our ability to understand grammar she didn't teach us#or meanings of phrases that she understands differently than the japanese-english dictionary does#and she won't go over the details of those grammar/phrases until in class AFTER the assignment is due#so every homework assignment is just a fucking minefield lmao#tirah talks
