do you want to be sooo niceys and helpful to me. do you find language in all its mutations interesting and worth researching. do you use the suffix "-core" in conversation

if the answer to any of these is yes, then please fill out my form!!!

this is for a project in my linguistic anthropology class!! we're researching uses of the suffix "-core", as in "cottagecore" and "fairycore" but also as in "mecore" and (this is an actual example i overheard) "joe bidencore." as part of the project we're supposed to interview people who use it, but unfortunately none of my friends have used it out loud recently, and so my group project members kindly agreed to let me use my tumblr platform to take a larger group sampling instead. please help me. i need them to think i'm cool. take my poll

your information will not be shared, the poll does not collect emails and none of the data collected from it will be used outside of this college course. there is a set of optional questions about identity at the bottom, but you can leave any of them blank if you wish. thank you so much!!!!

also the presentation is due on thursday so um. the poll will close by wednesday at the latest. thumbs up.

#polls #linguistics #linguistic anthropology #core #internet linguistics #tumblrcore #cottagecore #core aesthetic #wow look something original!! #usually i'd never use tags to try and get people to reblog something. you sense the urgency of the situation

Did I have tasks I was supposed to be doing this evening? yes. Did i black out and write a poem about rabbits instead? yes.

#lich says shit #my art #my poetry #watership down #had lots of fun wth the enjambment on this one #I wanted there to be a sort of sense of urgency where since every line ends in the middle of a thought #the reader is encouraged to go through it faster and faster #and the lack of punctuation makes the comma and period at the end even more jarring #at least thats the goal. let me know if i succeeded #poems #poetry #rabbits

It's actually so funny that Jonas Spahr had this acute moment of mental clarity after a month-long grief-fueled mental breakdown, woke up to the systemic injustices of his society and his own complicity in perpetuating them, and then proceeded to seemingly show up to work for the next three days without incident. He's soooo relatable fr.

#he's just like me!!! #I'm having a very normal work day (lie) and trying to process this episode is really adding a sense of urgency lmfao #midst spoilers #midst podcast #jonas spahr

– Austin? Austin? Hello? Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck is happening now?

[transcript]

#this scene was actually supposed to happen quite a while ago but i couldn't pass up the opportunity for a parallel #and it was more logical for it to happen after the proposal too because now there's this sense of urgency for matt to say something #frozen pines #camellia #elaine nguyen #austin #matt #stevie donovan #suicide tw

Escape room games where you are trapped in a room with a bomb are so unserious because why is the character i'm playing not as worried as they should be. Why are we trying to unlock the glass casing with a color code pad when we could use the metal pipe and smash it open, the bomb is going to explode, broken glass should be the least of our worries rn.

#escape rooms in video games are funny because they'll tell you you have two minutes to escape or you'll die to the bomb that is ALSO there #and then the character you play #with no sense of urgency for the situation will see the device that would be super helpful behind some glass #and will tell you #it's behind a glass I need to get the code to open it! #PUNCH IT WE'RE GONNA DIE #GLASS IN YOUR KNUCKLES SHOULD BE THE LEAST OF YOUR WORRIES THERE'S A BOMB.

It's always the villains that unsettle the heroes. For once, I want to watch the heroes unsettle the villains.

I want them to be unnervingly calm after being captured, because they know what's coming and the villain doesn't.

I want the heroes to look right into the hidden cameras, and meet the villain's eyes through the screen, as though they're staring into their soul, right before the footage cuts out.

I want the heroes to deliver cryptically worded warnings and vague, disturbing threats. I want the villain to walk into their office and find the severed head of one of their trusted underlings.

I want the villain, so sure of themself and so confident that they are a true mastermind, to find themself facing off against a real mastermind. I want the heroes to be one step ahead.

#i know narratively why this can't really happen #a story can't be very engaging if the heroes just succeed at everything and never have to worry about anything #there's no real sense of urgency if the audience knows that the heroes could take down the threat whenever they want #but for once i would love to see the villain be the one struggling to catch up instead of the other way around #my writing #writing prompt

#my godddd 😮‍💨❤️‍🩹 #life is so beautiful you guysss #bless Sufjan's fucking precious mind😮‍💨🩷!! #everything written‚ produced and recorded by him + all the artwork and essays also by him!! he's everything!! ❤️‍🩹 #the entire album sounds both familiar and new (like Goodbye Evergreen is literally how The Age of Adz goes from Futile Devices to Too Much! #sounds very atmospheric and melancholic and bittersweet but also dreamy and euphoric. and very gentle #and there's a sense of urgency and helplessness but the album ends in a very hopeful note which is so beautiful!! #lyrically is so impressive and breathtaking. man the way he feels everything so deeply 🫨❤️‍🩹 #stunning compositions + so much heartbreak and existential despair and unsettling imagery and self-sacrifice #and distress and personal atonement and resignation and so much HOPE and LIFE and LIGHT #and also religious devotion (shocker i know lol) #and the Neil Young cover (shoot me!) is better than the original lol it's just so sweet and hopeful 💐 #i really loved it so much!! #sufjan stevens #javelin

not to be a serial hater but kronos crushed hera, dropped her on the ground, and then turned away. why is he suddenly demanding her back!!! is he hoping to chill with her corpse like what was the point of him DISCARDING HER

#anti lo #anti lore olympus #why create a sense of urgency where none existed a panel ago???

Hey do you smell something burning

#ask #anon #sorry something about looking for an image to respond with and seeing luigi pointing #it spoke in such volumes to me for some reason that i started laughing really hard #like hes pointing to something just off screen behind you. but like with no sense of urgency #but definitely with surprise #like he doesnt want to say anything to alert you or anyone closeby #momentarily i was gonna reply with the chef from zelda cdi. my cakes will burn #but luigis foreboding but gentle warning was too strong for me to change away from #anyway thank you for the ask anon. i assume this was related to the last ask (since they appeared back to back) #so. sorry if this answer doesnt necessarily relate to that. it just made me laugh really hard

Slasher antagonists are the epitome of unemployed... Taking their sweet time following people and terrorizing them because they don't have rent to pay. They don't have a shift to catch. Babygirl get a JOB

#Slasher #slasher fandom #michael myers #texas chainsaw massacre #bubba sawyer #ghostface #sawtism #sawposting #saw movies #Why do you guys walk so slow... NO sense of urgency

I wish i can force my brain to focus on certain things. I have important things i have to finish but its so easy to get distracted and procrasinate and i end up not being able to focus on either.

#i keep telling myself i need to start but i just cant #i procrasinate with art but even that i cant focus on #please just let me finish my reports it literally determines if i get to graduate or not #why cant i feel any sense of urgency its #fack my stupid lil brain man #lyssten to my rambles #vent

Polites is for the audience what Astyanax is for Odysseus. No I won't elaborate.

#epic the musical #but at the same time polites is for ody what polites is for the audience #can you tell i have midterm project to finish in 12 hours and is midnight and my sense of urgency is so dead i waisted 48 hours? #im sorry myself for when my brain works again
