bread

Mmmm... bread.

Aside from bread being one of the best things in the world and a foundation all civilization had been built upon in history, the word itself..?

I dunno, a bit lackluster. Bread can't be stretched out much without sounding unnatural. There's only really one way to say bread. And bread itself is just a one-note, simple word. Granted, this is fine for its purpose. Bread is really humble. It's not grand, not dramatic, simply bread.

The word 'bread' is simple and uninteresting, awfully one-note. You'd never guess that it represents the foundational food that has since spread across the globe and is foundational involved with culture worldwide.

4/10 word. Nothing wrong with it, I just wish it was better.

Bread itself is 10/10 though. I love bread.

For the WIP game!

Snack, hug, blow!

methinks YOU are looking for something specific with that last one 😂 might not be what you think tho lol

here you go my lovely (also I forgot this game required the opening of all my dozen wips for a word search 💀)

Snack: from my unnamed hellcheer dnd au!

“Yup,” Jeff said, nodding seriously. “I’m making band practice snacks for a month.”

Hug: this one gets two just because they were both fun!

first one is from chapter 2 of chrissycat au!

Cautiously, he set his hands on her waist, drawing her to him. Not quite a hug—he didn’t want to crowd her, nervous as she seemed—but close. Easy. Intimate.

second from the next chapter of If You Fall (which I promise i'm still working on, it's just slow)

Joyce scooped Chrissy into a hug so warm and comforting it was like curling up under a cozy blanket.

Blow: (didn't find blow, but I found blew which is almost as good) from a ridiculously un-fleshed-out christmas?? hellcheer au which max is potentially narrating...

Max glanced uneasily at the flat grey sky, wincing as thick, heavy sleet blew over the frozen streets of Chicago.

thanks for sending me a word ask!

Get MEGA chomped. bitch

[practicecourts]

Send me a word and if it's in the last chapter I'll give you the sentence.

Forgot to to send this with my previous ask, hmmmm 🤔

“Surprised?”

thanks for the word!

“I must admit I’m a little surprised to see you. Harriet never told me you two knew each other.”

Rainbow, cranberry and HideKane. 😁

If it's alright, I'm going to answer with Youtube videos of the songs (in case you feel like giving them a listen).

Rainbow - 'Rainbow' by TVXQ

This is a song from my favorite Kpop group on my favorite album. They actually have two songs called 'Rainbow' but this one came to mind first.

Cranberry - 'Zombie' by The Cranberries

I don't think I've ever listened to this song, but it's what came to my mind because I knew it was from a band called The Cranberries.

HideKane - 'Unravel' (Acoustic Version) by TK from Ling Tosite Sigure

Of all the songs I tend to associate with them (basically any romance song you can think of) I choose 'Unravel'. But several have said that the song may be about them and this version plays in the famous scene in the last episode of the second season.

Thank you for the ask!

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

ever have a word stuck in your head? like having a song stuck in your head except it’s a word

archaeopteryx..

Most of the times it's phrases that get stuck in my head, not usually a singular word. I can recite the 'I was crazy once' endless speech for about as long as I want to because it was stuck in my head for quite a while. Upwards of a week? To the detriment of a friend of mine, the most recent phrase is 'what the sneef? I'm snorfin' here,' which gets grating to anyone who doesn't also have that phrase stuck in their head.

Sometimes it can be words, though. An example would be eccedentesiast, which got stuck in my head based on its meaning, which is simple someone who fakes a smile. Beyond that, it means someone who hides their plans, thoughts, opinions, everything behind a smile. Imagine a person who is always smiling, always agreeable, yet never honest. This could be someone who's playing nice on the surface while having other plans, but imagine someone who's always masking and playing nice, yet never showing their true self... would they even know who they were, at that point? How would you keep track of your own identity if it's never shown? If you've been hiding behind your facade for that long, would you ever want to find out who you are, or would you be too scared to show yourself again, afraid of what you'd find?

Anyway, archaopteryx. A fun word! I like it. The word itself is fun to say, nice to read. And it's a dinosaur, what's not to love? The name matches what it represents and it's a good word.

For the WIP word find: power/powerful or wink/winked

ooh, yes! you picked excellent ones!

Power: from an unnamed hellcheer wip centered around dnd (and I'm gonna give you a couple sentences just because I wanna)

Chrissy watched, fascinated, as the boys rolled dice and seemingly negotiated with Eddie, who appeared to be in charge of this whole thing. It was almost like he held a kind of power over them, and soon she realized that it was because this wasn’t their story. It was his story.

Wink: from the next chapter of Gonna Watch You Shine (which reminds me I need to revise and post ch 4 soon!)

“You got it,” he said with a wink. “Later, cupcake.”

thanks for sending me a word ask!

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.
