Efímera
¡Hola, lovecarrotcake! Describir una sonrisa es algo complicado y a la par importante. No solo define físicamente al personaje, sino también su estado de ánimo e incluso su carácter. Una sonrisa puede encerrar miles de significados. Por ello, he decidido hacer una pequeña guía sobre cómo describir sonrisas.
¿Es necesario usar adjetivos para definir una sonrisa?
No.
El escritor Jorge Luis Borges, para muchos el maestro de los adjetivos, decía que cuando acababa un texto lo repasaba y no lo dejaba hasta quitar por lo menos diez adjetivos que no aportaban realmente nada al sustantivo. Algunos tendemos a usar los adjetivos para impactar más al lector, o porque creemos que tenemos que explicarnos mejor. Pero a veces esto acaba en lo contrario: sonamos redundantes, torpes y el texto puede resultar lioso. (ej. “dulce miel”, “noche oscura” o “inviernos fríos”).
El sustantivo “sonrisa” tiene la cualidad de tocarnos más adentro que otros como “silla” o “eneatipo”. Tiene un algo especial. Usado de la forma correcta, es fácil que nos remueva algo por dentro. En definitiva, el sustantivo a secas, sin adjetivar, ya comporta en sí mismo una serie de cualidades especiales. Por ello, en un contexto bien cuidado, la palabra “sonrisa” puede impactarnos mucho más sin adjetivar.

As someone young and disabled these post made me feel good ♥👏🏻

[ID: a digitally drawn two-panel comic. / Image 1: Text reads: “How I expected using a cane would feel:” Panel depicts a miserable person in tattered clothes, hunched over a cane and shaking as she walks. / Image 2: Text reads: “How it actually feels:” Panel depicts the same person, now standing tall and wearing flowing wizard robes and a long white beard. Her cane is at her side, glowing with magic, and she looks confident and powerful. /End ID]

i’m not sure if this is something that people are interested in, but i kind of wanted to make this as a personal thing anyway in case i end up losing all of my occult related mods one day. these are mods for occult sims that i have in my game and either can’t live without, or am excited to try out myself!
this is heavily inspired by many other wonderful must have mod lists, so thank you to everyone who has made one of these as this post will follow a similar layout and structure and inspired me to make my own. i’ll try my best to keep this post up to date!

“I think you lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you’re living a different kind of life there. In a world inside you.”
— Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
