“It was heavy and dark, and he knew he would get drenched if he stayed outside. It was coming from so far away that he had plenty of time to put the mower away and get under cover. Instead, though, he just stood there and watched it approach. Even at the last minute, as he heard the rain pounding the grass flat, he just stood there. He closed his eyes and let the storm soak him. That was this kiss.“
- The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater

IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST
OR ‘PEAKED’
BUT PIQUED
‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’
THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA
THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU
ADDITIONALLY:
YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’
IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.
ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME
‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’
THANK YOU
BREATHE - THE VERB FORM IN PRESENT TENSE
BREATH - THE NOUN FORM
THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE
WANDER - TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY
WONDER - TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER
THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE (but one’s mind can wander)
DEFIANT - RESISTANT DEFINITE - CERTAIN
WANTON - DELIBERATE AND UNPROVOKED ACTION (ALSO AN ARCHAIC TERM FOR A PROMISCUOUS WOMAN)
WONTON - IT’S A DUMPLING THAT’S ALL IT IS IT’S A FUCKING DUMPLING
BAWL- TO SOB/CRY
BALL- A FUCKING BALL
YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT
AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.
THANK YOU.
*slams reblog*
IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.
SLEIGHT - DEXTERITY, ARTIFICE, CRAFT (FROM ‘SLY’) SLIGHT - VERY LITTLE, FRAIL, DELICATE
IT’S ‘SLEIGHT OF HAND’.
DISCRETE - SEPARATE, DISTINCT, PARTED
DISCREET - SUBTLE, STEALTHY, DIPLOMATIC
BORN= existing as a result of birth
BORNE= carried or transported by
LIGHTENING = to make something less dark in color or to lessen its weight
LIGHTNING = bright flash of light during electrical storms
{This is quite helpful. Thank you Rebloggers.}
((adm: I just want to add-
Loose- untight
Lose- opposite of winning))
((ALSO: A fun trick - Affect = Action Effect = End Result ))
There = In that place
Their = belonging to them
can’t = a contraction for cannot
cant = a tilt or lean at an angle, usually to accommodate accessibility
Me thinking that this is child’s play and that I know it all already:
Me realising there are some things I didn’t already know:
TO- GOING ONE PLACE TOWARDS ANOTHER
TWO- 2, A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3
TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.
Trick for telling whether to use “me” or “i”
Drop the other subject(s) and if the sentence makes sense, you’re using the right one.
Examples:
Incorrect- Arthur and me are going to the mall//me am going to the mall -no
Correct- Arthur and i are going to the mall//i am going to the mall
Incorrect- they brought presents for Henry and i//they brought presents for i -no
Correct- they brought presents for Henry and me//they brought presents for me
Rogue - a scoundrel or disreputable person
Rouge - a kind of makeup
IT IS A TENET OF YOUR RELIGION
IT IS NOT A TENANT OF YOUR RELIGION
Vicious- mean
Viscous- sticky
Conscious- awake, mindful
Conscience- Jiminy Cricket
The affect vs effect thing is very useful! Until you learn that you can effect (to cause to occur; bring about; accomplish) an affect (feeling or emotion, OR outward expression of same; yes, this is two nouns!) because English is a garbage fire.
UNCONSCIOUS: NOT AWAKE
SUBCONSCIOUS: NOT AWARE
You do not make a decision unconsciously, it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.
If you wanna say someone made a decision without realizing, you use SUBCONSCIOUS.
If you wanna say you made a decision while sleeping (how??) you use UNCONSCIOUS
So many writers don’t know this and it drives me nuts
You do not make a
decision unconsciously,
it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
IT’S — CONTRACTION FORM OF “IT IS”
It’s perfectly fine. Don’t claim it’s something it’s not.
ITS — POSSESSIVE FORM OF AN OBJECT
Its color was faintly blue. That wasn’t in its nature.
guys you have no clue how much i needed this
VICE: A SIN; IMMORAL HABIT OR CONDUCT
VISE: A CLAMP USED TO HOLD AN OBJECT IN PLACE WHILE WORK IS BEING DONE ON IT
One man’s thighs go around another man’s waist like a VISE.
AMIABLE - A CHARACTER TRAIT MEANING FRIENDLY, EASY-GOING
AMENABLE - A STATE OF MIND OR EMOTION MEANING THAT YOU ARE OPEN TO A SUGGESTION OR IDEA OR COMMAND
“he was an amiable guy, always down to make a new friend” vs “he was amenable to her suggestion that they order a pizza”
similar concepts, but not interchangeable!
REIN: The things a rider uses to guide a horse with
RAIN: Water falling from the sky
REIGN: What a monarch does from the throne
You REIN IT IN because you’re using the reins to make the metaphorical horsey stop or slow down.
WARY: cautious (think aware and beware)
WEARY: exhausted
you are wary of something you have concerns about
you are weary of something you’ve seen or experienced too much of
QUEUE: A LINE OF WAITING PEOPLE OR LIST OF ELEMENTS
CUE: A SIGNAL THAT ACTS AS A PROMPT OR REMINDER
Please stop saying “on that queue” or “right on queue” or “I think that’s my queue…” I’ve been seeing it so much in fic recently!
The character is taking the cue to go in for that kiss or waiting in a queue for that kissing booth…they are not interchangeable!
consume | expel

Wanted to draw Hikaru and Yoshiki with a reference to "The Kiss" painting by Gustav Klimt! I really think the goop suits it well~
cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it
"The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain."
-Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
"Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard." - Brennan Lee Mulligan
"How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints." --C.S. Lewis
