This blog is full of stuff I love: things related to music/songs, films, books/comics and photography mostly. I'm also fell in love with Jeremy Renner so there is much of him here too.

That is profound. I noticed this by accident when asked about adjectives by a Japanese student. She translated something from Japanese like āBrown big catā and I corrected her. When she asked me why, I bluescreened.
Iām kinda reading ābrown big catā as ābrown (big cat)ā, that is, a ābig catā - like a tiger or lion or other felid of similar size - that happens to be brown. āBig brown catā, on the other hand, sounds more like a brown cat thatās just a bit bigger than a regular housecat - like a bobcat or a maine coon cat or something like that.
yeah, if you put the adjectives out of order you wind up implying a compound noun, which is presumably why we have this rule; we stripped out so much inflection over the centuries word order now dictates a huge amount of our grammar
Just looked up why we do this and one of the first lines in this article is, āAdjectives are where the elves of language both cheat and illumine reality.ā so I know itās a good article.
Things this article has taught me:
This same order of adjectives more or less applies to languages around the world.Ā āItās possible that these elements of universal grammar clarify our thought in some way,ā says Barbara Partee, a professor emeritus of linguistics and philosophy at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Yet when the human race tacitly decided that shape words go before color words go before origin words, it left no record of its rationale.
One theory is that the more specific term always falls closer to the noun. But that doesnāt explain everything in adjective order.
Another theory is that as you get closer to the noun, you encounter adjectives that denote more innate properties. In general, nouns pick out the type of thing weāre talking about, and adjectives describe it,ā Partee told me. She observes that the modifiers most likely to sit right next to nouns are the ones most inclined to serve as nouns in different contexts: Rubber duck. Stone wall.
Rules are made to be broken. Switching up the order of adjectives allows you to redistribute emphasis. (If you wish to buy the black small purse, not the gray one, for instance, you can communicate your priorities by placing color before size).Ā Scrambling the order of adjectives also helps authors achieve a sense of spontaneity, of improvising as they go. Wolfe discovers such a rhythm, a feeling-his-way quality, when he discusses his childhood recollection of ābrown tired autumn earthā and a āflat moist plug of apple tobacco.ā
Brain scans have discovered that your brain has to work harder to read adjectives in theĀ āwrongā order.
TL;DR: No one knows why we do this adjective thing but itās pretty hardwired in.
Since itās never credited, this is from Mark Forsythās The Elements of Eloquence, and just one reason why I think itās required reading for anyone interested in prosecraft. Every page is this useful.

Note: English is not my first language so feel free to tell me if there are any mistakes.
A - Aftercare:
He would likely be silent and physical. Heās not one for long conversations or talking about his day. He'll stay by your side, his hand possibly resting heavily on your hip or thigh. He might offer to cuddle, but he'd do it awkwardly and stiffly at first, as if unsure how to perform the action, until he relaxes. If he has to get up, heāll cover you without saying a word, making sure you are comfortable.
B - Body Part:
His favorite of himself: The strength of his hands and his physical power. Not out of vanity, but because they are his only tools for survival, fighting, and doing his "job" (whether as a hitman or protecting others).
His favorite of his partner: Your eyes or your smile. He is very observant and contemplative. He is drawn to the goodness and denial of despair he sees in people. He would want to see that light reflected in your eyes or in a genuine smile, a contrast to the darkness of his own life.
C - Cum:
Sang-wook wouldn't care about a specific destination. However, due to his rugged and possessive personality hidden beneath his distant exterior, he would want to be able to finish inside you, as he considers it an act of deep intimacy he wouldn't share with just anyone.
But given the apocalyptic situation and the lack of access to safe contraceptives, Sang-wook would prioritize safety. He would be practical and avoid the risk of pregnancy. His preference would be to finish outside or use the pull-out method. While he values intimacy, his sense of responsibility would outweigh the desire to finish inside.
D - Dirty Secret:
His dirty secret is a fascination with total submission that borders on coercive control. It's not enough for you to just say "yes"; he needs to see and feel the absolute negation of any resistance, a complete physical and emotional surrender. Although he would never cause you unnecessary harm, the idea of having such power over someone is exciting, knowing that his strength is absolute and the other person implicitly trusts he won't cross the line.
E - Experience:
A lot, but dry. He is a 32-year-old man who has been a construction worker and a hitman. He has had purely physical, utilitarian encounters, perhaps as a way to relieve tension or in the context of his "gangster" life. It's very likely he knows what he's doing physically, but lacks the emotional and intimate experience.
F - Favourite Position:
Doggy Style or any position that gives him a sense of control and domination without needing to be soft or romantic. It allows him to be strong and rough without having to deal with the visual intimacy that he would find uncomfortable.
G - Goofy:
Extremely serious. Any attempt at humor on his part will be harsh sarcasm or a taunt. He is not a person who laughs easily, especially in an intimate context, where he is more likely to be focused with an acute gaze.
H - Hair:
Unkempt, but naturally clean. He is "not someone who cares much about his appearance." He is likely to have body hair, especially a bit of pubic hair, but due to his lifestyle he is likely to shower regularly. His scruffy beard and hair support this.
I - Intimacy:
Rough, physical, and then unexpectedly tender. Sex would start as a release of tension, strong and straightforward, according to his brusque nature. However, his growing humanity suggests that since he trusts you, that rough edge would break. It would end with a simple, profound gesture, like taking your hand and smiling.
J - Jack off:
Yes, but sporadically. It would be an activity to discharge the physical and mental stress of his stressful life as a worker, probably alone or with a drink.
K - Kink:
Functional Bondage. The scene where he is seen torturing a bound hostage demonstrates that he is familiar with the use of restraint and ties. He could find a dark pleasure in using those restraints, not to cause pain, but to increase intensity and the feeling of control.
L - Location:
Wherever he feels safe. Given his circumstances, the most accessible location is not necessarily the most private, but the one that offers the maximum security against being discovered or interrupted. This could be an abandoned car in the parking lot, the market at night, or, finally, in the privacy of an apartment in the building.
M - Motivation:
He is excited by the idea of you focusing on his scar and not avoiding it. That you touch it, kiss it, or even bite it with intention, transforming his pain into desire.
He also gets aroused by being taken or used by you with an overwhelming physical urgency. As he is a dom in sex, he finds it exciting when you make an exception and he can be the passive object of your crude and desperate desire. He wants his strength to be the tool that is demanded and utilized.
N - NO:
Disrespect or unnecessary cruelty. Despite his brutality, Sang-wook is guided by a strict code: punishing evil with evil. He wouldn't like a sexual game that felt like cruel and meaningless torture, as his violence is reserved for those he doesn't consider good people.
O - Oral:
He has a preference for giving. He is a man of action, not words, and he likes to be in a position where he can focus and execute a task. Furthermore, giving is an act of service that aligns with the side of his personality that strives to protect others.
P - Pace:
Strong and rough, especially at the beginning. His physical strength is almost supernatural, and his ability to ignore physical pain allows him to go at a pace that would be exhausting for most. However, as the relationship progresses, the pace would soften out of respect for you.
Q - Quickie:
Ideal and frequent. Quickies are efficient and risky, which fits perfectly with life in the apocalypse. It is a way to relieve tension quickly without the pressure of a prolonged romantic encounter.
R - Risk:
Moderately willing to experiment. He would agree to try new things if you ask him, as long as it doesn't break his code of honor or make him seem vulnerable. He is not one to shy away from a challenge or a physical risk.
S - Stamina:
Very high. Given his strength and tolerance for pain, he has the stamina to endure several rounds, even with serious injuries. He is a man who keeps fighting when others pass out.
T - Toys:
He doesn't have any, but he would use what's available. He is practical and frugal, he wouldn't buy toys. If something were available and you asked him to, he would use it, as long as it was practical (for example, something to tie/restrain).
U - Unfair:
He is not a natural provocateur. Provocation would require playing with emotions, and he tries to stay away from that. However, his intense gaze is, in itself, a form of provocation. He might watch you in silence, without touching you, until your desperation for his attention forces you to approach him.
V - Volume:
Silent or with low growls. He is not someone who raises his voice, as he is accustomed to being stealthy and keeping his guard up. His sounds would be contained growls of pleasure, very low, unless he is at the height of intensity.
W - Wild Card:
The steel apartment door closed with a dull thud, muffling the distant screams. The cold sweat of adrenaline still glistened on your forehead.
Sang-wook let go of the door only to grab your hip, his fingers digging into the fabric with possessive strength.
"Are you okay?" you gasped, your voice trembling from the tension and danger you had just eluded.
His dark, bright eyes locked onto yours. There was no negotiation, only desire.
"I need you now," he dictated, his voice a deep murmur that sounded more dangerous than any monster.
He effortlessly lifted you, your legs wrapping around his waist, and carried you to that old, dusty sofa. The kisses were not gentle; they were demanding, as if he was trying to extract the fear from your mouth and replace it with a cruder taste. He ripped off your clothes with hands that did not know how to be delicate, but were precise.
When he entered you, there was no preamble. It was a brutal, direct thrust that made you gasp against his neck, feeling the hardness of his scar against your skin.
"Look at me, T/N," he ordered, his eyes fixed, searching for proof that you were there, alive and with him.
The shock of your bodies was the only sound in that deserted floor, loud, rhythmic, a war drum against the apocalypse. It wasn't romantic; it was survival made sex, a crude affirmation of life in the face of death. You clung to his neck, whispering his name like a prayer, and he growled, that low, contained sound, knowing that, at that moment, he was the only one you truly needed.
X - X Ray:
Large and visibly firm. His slender physique contrasts with his strength. His penis would be prominent and the kind of member that looks veiny when excited, reflecting his musculature and the raw nature of his personality.
Y - Yearning:
High, but repressed. His sexual desire exists, but is constantly contained by his priorities for survival. When he finally gives in to his desire, it is an intense release of all the pressure and pain he has been carrying.
Z - ZZZ:
Very slow to fall asleep. Sang-wook sleeps little in general. After sex, he would probably stay awake for a while, looking at you or just at the ceiling, contemplative, enjoying the silence and the temporary safety of having someone by his side.
hey it's december so time to stare at my work and judge it, here's some stuff that i still like! not included are zine stuff that i'm holding on to for now
this year i focused mainly on character drawing and im a bit more confident in it now. hoping for more drawing time next year
fixing each other's collar/zipper/tie/etc - getting unexpectedly close, breath catching when they realize (or their light touches burning into the other's skin)
^ also moving someone's hair out of their face/behind their ear
^ or touching someone's necklace/bracelet/watch
eye contact in a crowded room, but not exchanging any words/expressions - just looking at each other, the rest of the world going still.
^a(n unironic) wink in this situation. or an eyebrow raise, lick or bite of lips, or head tilt. there's something in the subtlety of it - like "this is between us"
pulling someone in by their belt loops??? this is so random idk
feeling the other's breath/lips ghosting their neck
any sort of whisper. anywhere. goddamn.
a long pause when someone is speaking, as though they lost their train of thought while looking at the other person
their bodies accidentally pressed together - being stuck in a small space, falling onto one another, or having to sit really close together. the pause when it's realized.
^this but they're hiding
"make me"
"i dare you"
"and if i do?"/"what will i get (if i do)?"
"show/tell me what you want"
the pinky reach before holding hands for the first time
slow dancing (the hand placement, eye contact, proximity, MUSIC)
teaching the other something that involves physical contact (like holding their hands while trying to balance on a skateboard, or guiding their hands somewhere)
eye contact, waiting for one to fold
"don't do that to me" (tempting the other)
sharing earbuds - forced proximity, the vulnerability in sharing things that matter to them
i'm back!! i'm in a huge slump rn, so submit to my "ask" box if there is anything you want to see :) alsoo if you have anything to add to this list, reply to the post!! i love hearing what you guys have to say
"some loves are epic tales, and some are short stories. just because you wrote a short story doesn't mean it's a failure. it just means one book has ended. you need to write a new one. one with passionate romance."
beyond the bar (2025), finale.
I was more than happy with how they started the show with the premise of "there's no romance" and showing instead the reality of life cases and people's struggles (main and side characters too).
I also loved the story between the ML and his ex wife very very very much.
But Seok-Hoon and Hyo-Min were also so beautiful together and with a spectacular chemistry (thanks to the actors) that made me wanting for more, even just a little bit more š
MOST UNDERRATED EYE CONTACT MOMENT GOES TOā¦! š
I canāt explain it but their unspoken bond is unspoken bonding here. The way they look at each other across the table when their team is oblivious. Something in Seokhoonās eyes has me melting gang.
