i've been dying for a poll option ever since i saw my followers' answers to that text post from february 2022 asking people whether they pronounce beloved as "be-lov-ed" or "be-loved". many people were emphatic about only using one option, and many others use both but were not always able to articulate when they use 2 syllables vs. 3. so out of the goodness of my heart and my insatiable lust for knowledge i have gone through the notes on that post and written down some likely contenders! you're welcome!!!!
BEFORE YOU ANSWER! think about how you would pronounce beloved in the following syntactic contexts:
noun, talking directly to the beloved: hey there beloved
noun, talking about rather than to the beloved: my beloved lives in a pineapple under the sea
adjective in a noun phrase: my beloved x lives in a pineapple under the sea
verb participle: x is beloved by y
okay poll time! there are no wrong answers!! and apologies in advance if i didn't capture your truth, i only had 10 options and life is a rich tapestry!!

cant stop thinking about how metaphorical the ferris wheel is in this episode of buddy daddies.
first off it’s christmas time now which means that’s it’s officially been an entire year since they met and now they’re having to give her up, literally one year, full complete circle of time. in addition the way that when they’re going up they feel hopeful about wanting to live a normal life full of normal happiness and normal things. and then they reach the peak and are in awe of the beautiful of the skyline, just like how for those few glorious months they almost felt like a normal, happy family living a beautiful and meaningful yet simple life. and they’re grateful. they tell miri directly how much she has changed their lives for the better. but everything that goes up has to come down, and as they descend they realize how this can’t last. that in order to give miri a chance at a truly normal life, not this one that’s hidden behind a fragile facade that’s destined to fracture at any second, a real normal life, they have to let her go. and as they step off the ferris wheel they realize that this is it. their year is over, this dream cycle is now over. and as they hand her off and she disappears from their line of sight kazuki and rei realize that they’ve never changed. there forever trapped in this cycle, this circular motion of life that always leads back to where they started, no matter how hard they try to change and escape it.

update: peach is doing very well!! she's eating and sleeping normally (sleeping more than normal, really, but that's to be expected)!! after 3 days of not sleeping and a few changes in painkillers, she finally just napped for an hr then, after another day, slept through the whole night (and most of the next day). she's started following all her usual routines again and is very keen to eat! still on some painkillers, but they're not having any horrific side effects anymore
now that im not staying up to keep an eye on her all night (while also dealing with upgrading my computer and my phone and also my sister preparing to go overseas and the dogs barking and howling constantly due to all of the above), i finally got some decent sleep too and slept for about 14 hrs. so today ive got that weird shakiness that i get from sleeping too much, but hey it's better than the whole of the last week

i still need to see like....so much of everything for rook but the crumbs we got already is setting me on oc speculation and i'm kinda leaning towards the classic kid of previous mc with my warden and leliana..........
but there's also city elf warden inspired to join the order after an elf like herself saved the world.......
but but there's also so many new factions to throw an elf into...........we know nothing about..............
probably'll make them a tabris family member regardless
