i just saw a quote that said “i’m not a violent dog, i don’t know why i bite” and i’ve been sat here staring at my phone screen for the last ten minutes
they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary
English has SO many good words like these (although yes we always need more), if you're willing to do a spot of leg work. For example, in no particular order:
Charnel (adj): associated with death (from "charnel house:" a building where bodies/bones are piled)
Lachrymose (adj): prone to crying
Mawkish (adj): a slightly sickly flavor, or something that is feebly sentimental
Visceral (adj): relating to bodily organs (ie viscera)
Excoriate (v): to damage or remove skin, or to viciously criticize
Ossuary (n): a place where bones are stored
Oubliette (n): a dungeon where the only entrance/exit is a trapdoor in the ceiling
Amaranthine (adj): immortal, or a reddish pinkish color, or relating to amaranth (a plant)
Sanguine (adj): bloody, or a blood red color
[sanguine is also one of the four humors, but that's not what I'm talking about today]
Effluvia (n): a bad or harmful substance, secretion, or smell
Maudlin (adj): overly self pitying or sentimental
Sepulchre (n): a small tomb made of rock, like a monument or room
Putrefaction (n): decay
Atrophy (v): to waste away from misuse or neglect (commonly used to describe living muscles or bones)
Morass (n): a muddy or soupy area, or a particularly complicated and confusing situation
Necropolis (n): a large (usually ancient) cemetery
Apostasy (n): the renouncement of a belief (usually religious)
BONUS: a cemetery is different from a graveyard in that a graveyard has a church connected to it, while a cemetery does not
Neither of these are a boneyard, which actually doesn't have to do with bones, but disused or decommissioned machinery
i hate "small towns" but like i would thrive in an actual small town. like i'm talking 8 people in the middle of fuck knows nowhere with like 1 building. it sounds like a dream
i have taken a stop motion course and i am now going to make a tiny claymation ranboo make claymation genloss but instead of the box he's subjected to spinning on my record plate for 8 hours
