咲く前の花

最近、心が少し疲れている。 前好きだったことも、今あまり楽しめない。 笑っていても、本当に笑えているのか分からない時がある。

何がつらいのか、自分でもうまく説明できない。 ただ、心だけ少しずつ疲れていく感じがする。

でも、そんな日々の中でも、 私は今日生きている。

今の私は、咲く前の花みたい。 まだ咲けないけど、 見えないところで頑張っている。

いつかまた、心から笑える日が来ると信じてる。

Watched the guy who didn't like musicals in London a few weeks ago. It was fucking transcendent. Have been very normal about it since

I have a dumb question about Japanese that I was hoping you could help me with: I'm aware that there are some words with versions that take the prefix 「ぶっ」 (ie. 殺す->ぶっ殺す|壊す->ぶっ壊す) to add emphasis or indicate that the action was done forcefully or violently. Is this a prefix you can add to any verb, or is it limited? I'm not asking if it is something you should do (because it seems like even if you could, you shouldn't because it will produce strange results), only if there are grammatical limits to the use of 「ぶっ」.

If you can apply it to verbs where the idea of performing the action forcefully or violently doesn't make much sense, what kind of mental image does that conjure? Does it just add emphasis? If I were to, for example, decide to apply ぶっ to a verb that it doesn't made sense with, like 寝る, does 「ぶっ寝る」 conjure the image of someone going to sleep by slamming themselves onto the floor?

I know this is an extremely silly question, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t think ぶっ in ぶっ殺す or ぶん in ぶん回す is a productive prefix.

According to this article, the root form is ぶち as in ぶちまける.

I remember there was a chapter in the manga ダーリンは外国人（I forget which episode）where Tony wonders the exact thing, except if he could say ぶん蹴る to intensify 蹴る. And usually you can’t add ぶち, ぶん, or ぶっ to whatever verb you want, much like the -n’t suffix to words other than forms of be and modal verbs.

And much like yesn’t, you can still add it anyway for comedic effect. The Japanese subtitles are gone from Gandhi vs. Martin Luther King Jr. Epic Rap Battles of History for whatever reason, which is a shame because I liked them. In it, “I’m about to forgive you so hard right now” was translated into something like おまえをぶっ許してやる. So it would still make sense, but be at least a bit weird.

just saw a pigeon doing the puffed up courtship dance thing to another pigeon, and as he was strutting around he suddenly stopped for a split second to do a very brief preen-peck at his own side, then returned to the strutting around. and i surprised myself by instantly losing respect for the male pigeon in that moment, like come on man i appreciate you had an itch or whatever but how is she supposed to feel special when you're getting distracted by bullshit like that? which on reflection i don't endorse, i mean those are pretty harsh dating norms i'm imposing on these pigeons, from a total outsider perspective, for no reason. probably not all girl pigeons are as uptight about that sort of thing as i would apparently be if i was a girl pigeon, maybe she even found it endearing who knows, i don't know her. it's none of my business really. sorry pigeons.

did a bit of driving through the state of georgia today and wound up driving through a small town that i later discovered was called newborn, which is an odd name but doesn’t technically have anything wrong with it, except for the fact that i nearly gave myself whiplash doing a double-take at a building sign advertising NEWBORN TAXIDERMY

my friends and I have created a game we call Quipposting, where you play quiplash but you roll a wheel full of character archetypes, and whatever it lands on, you all answer as if you are like, a wizard or cowboy. This legitimately makes quiplash go from a fun enough game to an S+ tier absolute unabashed banger

[ouroborosorder]

the best characters are Mafia Goon, Cyberpunk Hacker, Castle Guard, Sewer Rat, 16th Century Peasant, and Alien Poorly Pretending to be Human

[clamberingcat]

OP we desperately need examples

[ouroborosorder]

these are all from mafia goonposting but I think it’s my absolute favorite one of all time so I have a lot of pictures from it. Turn on some jazz and wait until people start talking in the accent and you’ll make Magic
