#IM VERKLEMPT ABOUT IT

[altschmerzes]

That Aragorn and Faramir fic idea you mentioned sounds really interesting! There's so many layers involved in those two and those around them, and it sounds like a concept you would really have fun with!

THANK YOU it’s so clear in my mind honestly. this moment in that in-between space where aragorn either comes to find him or runs into him and has the chance to talk with him for the first time - say, you know, it’s an honour to meet you. your brother spoke of you with great pride.

like. the kind of person aragorn is would be really fascinating to watch faramir figure out how to handle tbh. this is Thee Literal King, and he’s also the type of person who looks at the people around him with warmth and appreciation at all turns, who puts himself on the line beside them, who is compassionate and interested in people and like. offers people his respect. pretty much regardless of who they are, until they prove they do not deserve it.

and for faramir, who has been. well. look at all he’s been doing in pursuit of his father’s respect, his father’s love, all entirely in vain. and what came of it. he’s just narrowly survived an attempted murder/suicide, after the first time he was sent to his death for the crime of being the wrong son didn’t quite get him all the way dead. just mostly there. so he’s been suffering and bleeding and dying for the good opinion of the central authority figure in his life to absolutely no avail. and here’s the king. the literal whole king. who’s never met him before, and is now seeing him in this sorry state. who offers his good opinion freely and without hesitation.

i SIMPLY think there’s so much potential in that dynamic and i want to poke at it SO bad tbh

just saw some good art of damian and started crying so that's how my edible is treating me

Saw a tiktok that said the girl version of how often do you think about the Roman empire is how often do you think about your ex-best friend and I have never felt so attacked in my entire life.

Yiddish loan words in English

IME, even native speakers who aren’t from the few English-speaking places with a heavy Jewish presence tend not to know where these words came from.

Wikipedia has a partial list. Aside from food (bagels and lox, among many others), some common ones are: bupkis, chutzpah, dreck, glitch, klutz, maven, mensch, nebbish, noodge, nosh, oy vey, putz, schlep, schlock, schmaltz, schmooze, shamus, shtick, spiel, tush, verklempt, yenta, and zaftig.

Some of these have been entirely absorbed and tell me little about the speaker’s dialect (drek, glitch, schmooze). Some are closer to their origins (chutzpah, oy vey).

it's 5am and i just finished going through every human emotion possible (a.k.a. reading 'wish i never'). you really outdid yourself with this one because i think this is the closest i've ever been to tearing up reading a fic. you just hit the mark so well on that feeling of just loving someone so badly but not being able to have them, for whatever reason. (spoiler alert!) the part where they're both just saying hurtful things to each other because it makes it easier to walk away was so... yeah... y/n hitting a little too close to home with her running away. also, what always impresses me about your writing is how descriptive and vivid it is. your vocabulary is so broad and expressive. you're such a gem of a writer, it's not everyday that i learn a new word from a fic but it was so funny how at one point i had to stop mid-feelings of grief to google "verklempt meaning". i was indeed quite verklempt in that moment ;) p.s. that author's note: i hope you're doing alright now :( sending you warmth and wishes of happiness. i obviously don't know you but you have a beautiful mind and deserve a love as beautiful as the ones you write about (minus the painful parts).

please this is oh so very very sweet and kind. when i originally answered this tumblr crashed and didn’t save it so i’m upset about that but it’s fine. Thank You.

anyways i love expanding people’s vocabulary via my writing because reading is the biggest way that i’ve done the same thing with my own and it’s so fun???????? sorry that’s the Nerd in me. an important part of writing is realizing that the language you use has the power to influence what and how your readers will feel about the scene. so that’s diction, prose, etc. something i think there’s still for improvement in cause sometimes i just be writing to write but if people can enjoy it nonetheless im happy with That Much i need to stop ranting about nothing and get back to 👉🏽 THE POINT.

actually connecting that to the point… it’s literally exactly what heightens all of the tear-jerking impact the story has on a Reader, and im super glad people could read WiN and be like “woah. this kinda hurt.” LIKEEEEE I LOVEEEEE when ppl tell me they actually Felt things bc of me 🥹🥹🥹

and btw i’ve been in a happy relationship for over a year now Lol. we’ll be celebrating our second anniversary over the summer so it’s safe to say that i’m in a much much better place now. Thank you for your support and kindness and everything it means a lot 🩷💓💘💗💞💞💖

I AM SO UPSET WHY WHAT HOW COULD YOU ALL DO THIS TO ME?! I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS IM CRAWLING INTO A HOLE

i’ve never felt so betrayed by the world in my life.

My verklempt darling, please believe me when I tell you we did NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU THE ENTIRE TIME!!!

Your beautiful, wonderful, amazing presence was missed SO FREAKING MUCH and we are obviously rescheduling a new date to go look at more statue butts stat so like get on that?

Look at this hand!! I literally went “ooh juju would LOVE this!” and immediately took a picture

i just found out that there are still active today blogs that i rped with a decade ago. literally 2013. somehow they never remade??? so our old shenanigans are still on there. i'm so verklempt and missing the olden days 😔 i miss my bibliophilic seafarer, even though she's grown and changed so much over the years. SO MUCH ABOUT RP CULTURE AS A WHOLE? has changed in the past decade. things were so LIGHT AND FREE back then. oof im having a crisis

as thanks for reading and putting up with my nonsense, here is a doodle from june 20, 2014 that does not involve those blogs i re-discovered, but instead involves my little merchant mariner and a merida and young macintosh blog from back in the day. that's all the context you get

hi cole, chag sameach :) we just finished our seder and im getting all emotional about being jewish and you were the first person that came to mind for who I could share it with. Following and interacting with your posts on my dash is such a wonderful part of my routine and you and your blog have brought so much joy and appreciation for the jewish culture that I sometimes take for granted because I grew up with it.

you don’t have to publish this or anything and I hope you don’t find it too odd. i think I might have had one too many wine refills but im feeling verklempt lol. I hope you have a lovely Pesach

chag sameach to you too! and ahhhhh this means so so so so much to me 🥺 hearing from people that my blog means so much to them and has had such and impact on their lives is so incredible and sustaining.

[warandpussy]

omg your teeth round my organs is perfection!! fuck it's so hot. the way you wrote both kinn and porsche ahhhh. kinn being mean and casual and yet super insane about porsche is just amazing. porsche and his shyness and a bit of humiliation. all in all the vibes of that fic are immaculate! are you planning on writing more kp?? xx

🫣🫣🫣 thank u anon 💗 I’m verklempt. but very grateful 😵‍💫

more to come!! I have something almost finished and am hoping to post soon. also I’m doing the kp exchange but I have to admit I’ve largely just been thinking about that one and sighing about it to myself rather than actually writing it, which is terrible because its due in 3 weeks. i have faith in myself though because i firmly believe im getting my life back together despite all the horrors!!!!!!!!

I loooooove your writing. Both your WIP’s are amazing. Any hint for when we might get an update for either!!? 🙂

Thank you v v v much!!! You are making me blush!!!! I am a blushing muppet!!!!

Update-wise, I’m probs about 80% of the way through the ch 10 of song draft (I took a brief detour to completely meltdown over the end and re-plot it bc the original one was shitty. turns out endings are hard!!! who knew????) and am hoping to have it wrapped up this week/weekend when it will then go for betaing/editing so realistically it will be probs at least two weeks before that’s up.

Listening I foist upon y’all unbeta-ed and I’m going to switch back to that while song is in edit mode, so it might update a little sooner depending on how speedily drafting goes. I’m feeling good about it though, bc honestly Dean POV is like, weirdly fun? And again, who knew? Not me!

second chapter is up!!! <3 <3 <3

verklempt is really just the yiddish version of “im so emo”

[tiktaalic]

i still dont know what the tape thing is about but im .verklempt over this very easily doubling as family photos. donna setting up a tripod and going now big smiles girls this one’s goin to my granpa harry for christmas. and claire is like. i am not doing that. and jody is like. claire you are a part of this family and so you will be part of this family photo. and the bottom one. no words just WOUGH. photos that dean keeps in his wallet while letting his part of the picture get folded over because it doesnt fit. photos that cas keeps in his pockets immaculately with absolutely no folding anyone out of the picture

I AM VERKLEMPTED CANNOT BELIEVE IN YEAR 2022 STYDIA IS COMING BACK IM- ON THE FLOOR I KNOW THAT THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BE A TRAIN RECK BUT. KNOW WHAT???? IM USED TO DISAPPOINTMENT SO AS LONG AS I GET STYDIA IM GOOD STG IF THEY ARE BROKEN UP IM SUEING MTV

I WILL ALSO SUE MTV

H o w e v e r Dylan is liking shady tweets so I don’t think he’ll be in it which I think means they’re not going to touch Stydia, they probably won’t mention them at all or will use Lydia as a one off comment about how stiles is doing.

Unless he’s negotiating a stupidly expensive contract in which case we will know EXACTLY where the lighting budget went if he shows up in this movie
