#word clouds

I've been playing around with word clouds (thanks to @coconutice22) and I made one for The Curse of Anteros!

Got a bit bored. Started a new short story. Made a word cloud!

Find and Eliminate Word Filler

Tighten your prose by finding and eliminating overused words. Not only are extra words unnecessary, whatever they happen to be, they also can make your prose clunky.

But, however, nevertheless, just. These are just a few of the examples of words often overused in writing which are completely unnecessary. See what I did there? Let’s try this sentence again… These are just a few of the examples of words (2à) often overused in writing which are completely(ß3) unnecessary. These are a few examples of often overused unnecessary words in writing. Not perfect,…

Turning Topical Headlines Into Current Event Word Clouds: NewsDrizzle

I had so much fun making word clouds with CloudSERP Explorer that I wanted to put them in another Gizmo. So I made NewsDrizzle, which shows you recent topical headlines as word clouds to give you a current event vibe check. In addition, the program generates three random Google News search links based on the words in the word cloud. The search is restricted to the last week to ensure that the…

There is a different between solitude and isolation. One is connected and one isn't. Solitude replenishes, isolation diminishes.

Losing my mind because Kaz always looks for people's tells/weaknesses, and he does this with Ohval too, he finds her husband. Then she says "He's not my weakness. He's my universe." and Kaz Brekker, who believes Inej Ghafa to be his weakness and almost constantly pushes her away because of it, hears that and it changes his perspective and he allows himself to open up to Inej about his hallucination, dares to beg her to stay in the finale, admits out loud that he wants her. Ohval's words gave him hope and–

not to complain abt the teens but i am developing a twitch abt how some teen-heavy fandoms seem to have extrapolated "queer coded" out to mean "i, the audience, read this character as queer" and now use "X coded" as if it's synonymous with "headcanon"

like, just. queer coding is when the creator adds elements to a character, such as mannerisms or clothing choices, to imply to the audience the character is queer without outright saying so. sometimes it's to get around censorship & sometimes it's to be homophobic and/or transphobic

if two characters' dynamic is "sibling coded" then that is an intentional choice by the creator. but also that doesn't actually hold up, conceptually, because there isn't a handy set of cultural touchstones for what a sibling dynamic looks like. and there's far less reason to imply that rather than outright state it. the same with "minor coded". what makes queer coding possible isn't that 'queer' is a descriptive term, it's that queer people have a defined culture and non-queer people have defined stereotypes. this is not true of every possible descriptive term.

nvm reading comprehension i need everyone to go take a media studies class. go watch the celluloid closet

Exploring Search Results as Word Clouds: CloudSERP Explorer

In my endless quest to find ways for users to create more detailed search queries without having lots of foreknowledge… I made a Gizmo, CloudSERP Explorer, that queries WordPress, Bing, and Bing News, then shows the titles of the results as a word cloud (one cloud per query.) Clicking on a word takes you to a search of the cloud’s word-source using both the original query and the word you clicked…
