Reserving both Jerome Valeska and Edward Nygma from Gotham because I cannot choose between the two at the moment. I am best contacted through this blog!

Hello and they’ve been reserved for you!

   UNPOPULAR OPINIONS.  (  no longer accepting.  )

ooc.  purple prose is not necessarily bad writing   --   there are numerous classics that are written with such a heavy hand,  but have so much meaning as a work as a whole.  (  read:  shakespeare,  dickens,  hawthorne  --  i could go on, but i won’t.  )  and while  -  yes   -  there is some writing on tumblr that is purpled,  there should  NOT  be a dismissal of purple prose as a whole.   bad writing is  just  bad writing;   but it is not the amount of vibrancy or adjectives that one injects into a work that determine what is bad and what is not.

what matters,  instead,  is whether the writing is  true to itself.  whether your passion is evident in it,  WHETHER OR NOT YOU CARE ENOUGH TO GET THE MESSAGE IN YOUR WRITING ACROSS.  if you’re writing   ‘  purple prose  ‘  simply because you think it’s the popular thing to do, then your writing is bad.  it isn’t true to yourself.

but writing that is more simple can be bad writing,  too.  we only pick out purple prose because it’s more difficult to read,  it’s more poetic  (  and i think there’s a lack of appreciation for poetry in writing, these days  --  and we are all the worse for it.  poetry can have so much meaning and can tell a story just as well as any novel can,  but we’re so willing to dismiss it.  either because of its length or because it’s been disparaged as an art form for so many years in recent history.  )  and it isn’t what we’re used to,  maybe,  as modern readers.

i write simply because it’s   my    style   --   it’s true to myself.  and that’s what separates  ‘  good  ‘  writing from  ‘  bad  ‘  writing;  not how i choose to word things,  not how i choose to phrase them.  

so let’s leave people who write purple prose alone  --  just because what they write isn’t your style doesn’t give you a reason to  DEMEAN  them for writing how they wish to write;   it might not be how i like to write,  or what i particularly like to read,  but it should   not   be devalued on the basis of it being   too fluffy.

❛ drunk i’m not. ❜

THREE WORD STARTERS.

         “Uh huh.” Deacon nodded, staring at the inebriated man. 

He then sighed, and wordlessly, without any instruction, supported the stumbling man by offering a shoulder to lean on. He wasn’t sure where they were headed and what was Jack’s intended location but he assumed that it would not be a deathclaw nest or a Gunner stronghold. The man was heavy (which shouldn’t be a surprise considering his knifey, melee approach to anything running the gamut between human and radroach) and Deacon had to alternate between dragging and propping him up.

“Have you ever of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave?” he quipped between grunts. The look he received from the drunk man did little to confirm if he was listening but Deacon continued.  

“I was thinking... a prisoner from Plato’s cave would be able to see, as plain as day, that you are drunk. Go home.” Being a babysitter was not in the list of oddball jobs he has taken and he did not plan to add it to the list any time soon.

+aaaaaa, amazing person. in fact, here’s a testimony:

Boy, do I love chicken strips. Sometimes, when I’m home alone, I’ll take some chicken strips fresh out of the oven and rub them in my scalp. It doesn’t do much for my hair health, but I like the way they feel running through my strands of hair. The flakey coating, smooth white meat, and warmth. Yum
