How do I describe a tired person? I got 'dark circles under the eyes' but it kind of stops there.

[pathsofoak]

I mean "hasn't slept in four days" tired by the way. Like straight up the hallucinating kind of sleep deprived.

[pathsofoak]

Found what I was looking for!

This website has a whole page dedicated to physcial descriptors of certain emotions, including tiredness and exhaustion!

(descriptionary.wordpress.com)

[hellenhighwater]

There's lots of good descriptors and comments in the notes, but one thing I'm not seeing is that at that level of exhaustion, your perception of time distorts. When you're microsleeping--between sentences, while you're walking, in the middle of performing other tasks--time can seem to be passing either incredibly slowly or incredibly quickly, as your brain cycles in and out of sleep in a fraction of a second. Your vision occasionally blacks out, but you also get darkness creeping in on the edges of your vision, crawling frond-like and narrowing the world to a dark tunnel. It's kinda cool! Your hearing is usually more reliable than your vision--you can listen and pay attention but keeping your eyes open is hard.

Decision making and focus also deteriorate. After five days of no sleep, punching myself in the throat in order to restore my lost voice seemed perfectly reasonable (and, for what it's worth, did work.) You can physically still accomplish strenuous tasks--I could still carry 100+ lb loads without significantly more strain than normal--but maintaining focus on the tasks is harder. Your body wants to relax and sleep, so to carry a heavy load, you have to actively force yourself to maintain your grip. Doing things like counting large quantities is near impossible, because you repeatedly loose focus and second-guess what you've done already. You stagger and stumble as you walk, if microsleep is setting in strongly enough to catch you as you're walking.

I hope you can benefit from my poor decision making. I may not be a role model but if nothing else I can teach by bad example.

A Little Surprise!

[Jasper x Spinel x Y/N]

Chapter 1 (Epilogue) - Friday

Jasper - Orange

Spinel - Pink

Y/N - Blue

"Guys! I'm home!" You said out loud as you got home from a tiring day at work/school. You were glad it was the weekend. You didn't hear or see anyone. But there was a note on the coffee table in the living room. You read it, written in pink glitter pen. An obvious mark of Spinel. "Hi, we have a little surprise for you in the bedroom. Can't wait!" It was signed with a heart in the same pink glitter ink, and a larger orange one also in glitter pen. Obviously Jasper was in on this too.

As you walked to the bedroom, you remember that Spinel had been so excited when you offered to help them learn writing and reading. Jasper didn't want to as much, but sat through your lessons anyways. You suspected she just didn't want to be un-included. Which made sense, you didn't blame her.

As you opened the door, you were immediately greeted by Spinel laying on the bed. You greeted her. But something was wrong.. where was Jasper? You realized a second too late as the large orange woman grabbed you in a bear hug, having been hiding behind the door. "Gotcha!" They both laughed, as the bait that was Spinel got up and coiled her arms around the both of you, pushing you further in the hug. "You have been working so hard recently. And it's Friday. So we are going to pamper you allll-weekend!" Jasper chimed in "You aren't going to lift a finger more! We are going to handle everything"

You sigh, leaning into their hug, letting yourself go limp in their arms. They could both handle it, you assured yourself. Jasper carried the two of you to the large bed you all shared, simply laying down still in the hug. "Guuys.. I still need to change out of my work clothes and shower!" Spinel huffed, Jasper playfully grunting out a "fine" as they both let you up. You gave both of them a kiss and got your clothes and went to the bathroom to shower and change.

You soon came back, clean and dressed in comfy clothes. Almost immediately upon seeing the bathroom door open, Spinel leaped over and scooped you up, carrying you to the bed where Jasper was laying, placing you between them. "Hiya, ya workaholic. Now you're gonna be pampered all- weekend!" Jasper wrapped her large, strong arms around the two of you. You let yourself be pulled into the cuddle, relaxing. "Hungry? We have been learning how to cook to try and help you!" You told them how it was fine, you could cook. It truly wasn't a problem. But Spinel hushed you by stretching her hand up to your mouth, making a 'shh' gesture with the one finger. "Nonsense. We can do it. Ya get to rest after takin' care of us soooo~ long." You playfully sighed and let them help. This was enjoyable.

After cuddling for a while, just enjoying each other's company, they decided to make you something to eat. It was about the time you ate dinner anyhow. As Spinel went to go find a cookbook or some instructions, Jasper carried you back to the living room and gently kissing you. She was such a gentle giant when she wanted to be. When you first met them, she was rough and destructive. Since them, with your help, she's let you in, to be more comfortable and just be herself.

Eventually Spinel shouted from the kitchen. "Well how am I supposed to get anything done if you're ogling Y/N, huh? Get over here and help me ya goofball." True enough, Jasper and you had been sitting on the couch, making out. The buff tangerine playfully grumbled and got up, throwing a blanket over your legs. You smiled at her as she walked into the kitchen, comically big for any of the utensils. Spinel had already put several ingredients and a wisk into a bowl, and handed it to Jasp. "Get mixin', doll. Please." She added a polite word to show she was just playing. Jasper gave her a smile, already mixing the bowl's contents as Spinel got out a pan and spatula. "Of course, captain" Jasper had her own sarcasm at this one, but kissed the top of Spinel's head.

You were just enjoying watching them cook. Eventually they came to you. Jasper had plates, forks, and a tortillero, setting them on the table. Spinel had raided a lot of different things. Butter, berries, maple syrup, honey, whipped cream, and other things. "We made pancakes!" You smiled at them, getting up and sitting at the table too, thanking them.

After eating a great dinner of breakfast foods, your partners carried you back to the bedroom to get all three of you cleaned up for bed and to just chill and relax. You three did just that for a few hours. Eventually you fell asleep, having been sitting between them. They carefully tucked you and themselves in, making sure all three of you were comfy. Thus ended the first night of your pampered weekend. You really loved them and they loved you.

Writing should bring you joy. Start perceiving every writing session as an important meeting with your imagination. Stop overcomplicating the writing process, stop wondering whether you’re doing it correctly, whether it makes sense or not. You can always rewrite and edit it later. But in this moment, just allow yourself to feel the joy of writing.

[concerningwolves]

Full offense but your writing style is for you and nobody else. Use the words you want to use; play with language, experiment, use said, use adverbs, use “unrealistic” writing patterns, slap words you don’t even know are words on the page. Language is a sandbox and you, as the author, are at liberty to shape it however you wish. Build castles. Build a hovel. Build a mountain on a mountain or make a tiny cottage on a hill. Whatever it is you want to do. Write.
