i've been dying for a poll option ever since i saw my followers' answers to that text post from february 2022 asking people whether they pronounce beloved as "be-lov-ed" or "be-loved". many people were emphatic about only using one option, and many others use both but were not always able to articulate when they use 2 syllables vs. 3. so out of the goodness of my heart and my insatiable lust for knowledge i have gone through the notes on that post and written down some likely contenders! you're welcome!!!!
BEFORE YOU ANSWER! think about how you would pronounce beloved in the following syntactic contexts:
noun, talking directly to the beloved: hey there beloved
noun, talking about rather than to the beloved: my beloved lives in a pineapple under the sea
adjective in a noun phrase: my beloved x lives in a pineapple under the sea
verb participle: x is beloved by y
okay poll time! there are no wrong answers!! and apologies in advance if i didn't capture your truth, i only had 10 options and life is a rich tapestry!!

there's such a specific vibe watching spuffy get setup in s5 and feeling like. the subtextual rage. the writing hates itself. the actors are having a ball but delivering dialogue that wants to just curdle in their mouths. everything is a joke and everything is serious and None Of It Should Be Happening But Here It Is Undeniably Happening In Spite Of It All. loooove

the idea that most people can't and won't be exceptional so statistically speaking you (general you) won't be either is eating at me ngl. like what is even the point

✂️ barber!mickey & shaggy!ian ✂️
here's the 7th installment for this week's @galladrabbles prompt: magazine by @smokey-mickey.
catch up/read in full HERE -- updates weekly!

Below the picture is a framed page from a magazine. Glossy, with an image of Mickey cutting the hair of a little boy, maybe 7 or 8.
And a headline—Free Cuts for Foster Kids by Homegrown Hero.
Ian’s eyes widen.
“Hate that fuckin’ thing,” Mickey gripes quickly, thumbing at his nose, silver scissors hanging loosely from his fingers. “The stupid article or whatever, not the kids. Sister made me hang it up.”
Ian opens his mouth to speak, but then blades are blurring with tattooed threats, as Mickey cards a comb through wet, red locks and gets to work.
