Just out of curiosity: what is purple prose? I'm not in the rp community and I have no idea what it is lmao

Oh man, so, it doesn’t only exist in the rp community, it’s just quite notorious on that side of tumblr right now. 

Purple Prose, in the simplest definition, is taking a simple sentence, and making it ridiculously flowery and complicated by using a “uncommon & underused words” thesaurus on every single word in that sentence.

For example:

“He took a sip of coffee.”   would become

“ Such slender, pale appendages curled languidly about the ceramic before him, the gentle heat creeping across skin and settling into bone. Without thought or hesitation the beverage was raised to parted lips, not resting for a moment, the broiling liquid passed over the tongue that sat, thick and heavy in his mouth….” 

Well, you get the idea from that. I’ve not had my practice at it, and I admit, there are ways of doing it well, to come across as poetic and justified… 

but can you imagine trying to read Harry Potter in that style? It would be thousands of pages long

Hi! This is super random, but I just qualified as a teacher (2020 grad) and I'm debating on trying to work in NZ. Any tips? I know that the pandemic will cause disruption but I've always wanted to teach abroad and I keep telling myself to go for it. I'm from the UK btw! The fact that you've moved across the world before is very interesting and I don't know many people who have. A nice non 1D Q for you! :) x

I’m late replying to this anon - so sorry about that.  Congrats on qualifying as a teacher - it must have been a difficult last bit of training.

I think the education system in NZ is much better to teach in than the UK.  There’s lots more freedom around the curriculum and there’s no high stakes testing.  There are lots of problems here, but most of what I learned about education, particularly in England, seemed downright dystopian.

Moving to the other side of the world is a real challenge. You feel very isolated and that’s particularly a problem when things go badly.  But I also really loved being in a new place and having an opportunity to not feel tied down by the versions of me that people already had in my head.  I loved doing lots of things that I wouldn’t have had any opportunity to do at home. And while it’s hard to untangle now, because I am concentrating on how fucked up I was by lock-down and pandemic isolation, I do think it was mostly good for me in terms of both knowing I can rely on myself, but also appreciating the relationships I have with other people. 

The bad news is that you probably won’t be able to get in to New Zealand this year.  At the moment only citizens, permanent residents, and critical workers can get in to New Zealand.  I don’t think teachers are classified as critical workers, because there isn’t a shortage of teachers. The plan is to vaccinate everyone this year and then open the borders.  So if you were going to come, you might be looking at the 2022 year (our school year starts at the beginning of January).

G, I, N for the most recent ask game :)

HEYY THANK YOU 💕💜

G: The last person I said ‘I love you’ to.My best friend @until-u-reach-the-sky

I: The last time I felt jealous, and why.I honestly don’t remember the last time I was jealous of something or someone. I remember being envious of someone. A person who was always bright, optimistic and cheerful, even a little naïve. There was a point in my life where all I wanted was to be that but I knew it could never happen.

N: If you want to know how I treat my friends.Yes, of course! Send me a message directly or through my inbox! @droolingdragon

maybe you're asexual

But sex used to excite and drive me. I used to really enjoy it. I mean, the first time I had sex was with the the very person who mentally and emotionally abused me to the point of why I started thinking of myself as an object. He made me feel like I was worth nothing except for what I could do for him sexually and physically. This sex repulsion started right after a break up from a really good guy who hated how I treated myself as an object. Maybe my eagerness for sex was just because I didn’t think better of myself and that I would deserve being used. I guess I didn’t know what I am anymore.Sorry for rambling so much to your question anon.
