Redesigned an old sona of mine :]

It’s a chilly day A breath of white mist leaves me As I sigh sadly The snot hanging from my nose, Is it cuz I’m cold or sick?

Made some witch’s apothecary potions to decorate my trolley museum for Halloween!Some of the labels are self-explanatory, but for others I wanted them to sound like odd alchemical ingredients but also have real meanings, so I used obscure, unusual words.

Gremlin Meldrops: meldrops are little droplets of mucus at the end of one’s nose, such as when one has a bad cold.

Mothman Mucilage: mucilage is a fancy word for a glue, typically one derived from an organic source like a plant, or a mothman.

Hobgoblin Cicatrix: A cicatrix is a scar over a healed wound.

Ashes of Grimalkin Acnesis: Grimalkin is a variation on graymalkin, an old term for a cat, especially an old, snarly female cat. Acnestis is the space between an animal’s shoulder blades that it cannot reach to scratch itself; the place where you often put medicine on cats so they won’t lick it off.

Cinders of Tatterdemalion Obelus: Tatterdemalion is a being dressed in ragged, shoddy clothing. An obelus is a sign used in annotations, often to mark a passage that is suspected of having been corrupted in translation. An obelus is can be shaped either like a division sign or a dagger.

Gramarye Agglutinant: Gramarye is an archaic word for necromantic magic. Agglutinant is based on the word “agglutination”, which is when particles suspended in a liquid (such as red blood cells in plasma) spontaneously clump together.

What kind of words/expressions did I learned the past weeks?

In day-to-day life I don't recognise new words or expressions that fast, I just assume them for common sense. Usual the context of the words or expressions used explain to me what they mean. So, for example every morning I do my utterly best to read the bible. The bible is sometimes a quite difficult book to understand because it can tell something different to every reader. But if I don’t understand words the context will quite often give its meaning away.  

So, I decided to search for words/expressions on the world wide web that are unknow to me. Because I don’t want to give a bible study.  

Meldrop (1.) “A drop of mucus at the nose, whether produced by cold or otherwise” so if you want to tell a friend that they must sniff there nose you can tell them unnoticed: you have a meldrop. Do you want a tissue?  

Kakorrhaphiophobia (2.) “The fear of failure” The word is quite a brain teaser, and I don't know how to pronounce it.  But the meaning is not that hard to understand.  

“The Ides of March” (3.) is an old expression that dates bake to the roman empire. In March Julius Caesar was killed, so take heed.

Small Announcement!

Hi I’ll try to keep this brief and as not-pitiful-sounding as possible! As may have been obvious, my desktop died on me over the weekend and after doing all the troubleshooting I could do, I’m understanding that I need to replace the whole thing. I am lucky enough to be able to replace it, pending some other sources of income that I am currently working on? But it also hinders significantly my moving-out plans and has been, needless to say, very, very demoralizing.

So I hope this post is not too much of a bother-- but I wanted to bring up again links to my stories and Ko-fi:

Stories

Shorts

Short Prompts

Support Me!

AND for the next undetermined amount of time, if you send in a Ko-fi with a one-word prompt in the message prompt, I shall write a short prompt based on it and post it! Include your username and I’ll tag you (or if Tumblr’s being finnicky I’ll message it to you too). If you want to stay anonymous and send in a prompt, that’s okay too, and I’ll publish it!! The stories will be anywhere from a paragraph or two to longer if inspiration strikes - so keep that in mind when submitting! (Please be kind.) As usual I won’t do any words from other languages, anything based on pre-existing fiction (YES this means no Peachyboo or Bowsette), etc. If you have a question on if something is prompt-able, or any other questions, feel free to message! See tags for more info!

I am but one smol depressed bean with a very bad laptop that likes to freeze and crash on me every half hour or so, so the stories will not come instantly! But I will get to them all - thank you in advance for your patience.

Thanks for reading the post, because that already means a lot! If you are not in a position to send anything or just don’t want to, that is A-OK too!! Just look forward to any prompts I will post! They will also probably serve as this week’s fiction, as well as last week’s (depending on how many I get). And, if you’re happy and willing to, boost - it will help me out a ton. I will probably reblog this a bit this whole week - if you’d like to not see this you can block the #kofihelp tag!

Thanks much, and have a great evening!
