So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
okay americans i gotta ask because as an European i grew up with lots of american shows and cartoons and in a lot of them there was an episode where they give the protags a doll or an egg or a bag of flour or whatever and told them pretend to be its parents or something
I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and itβs like.
have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because thatβs what a growl is.
Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because thatβs what a hiss is.
Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because thatβs what a roar is.
Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because thatβs what snarling is.
Itβs not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.
we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen
also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote
suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response

actually i don't know if i'm ever gonna finish it so i might as well talk about it... but a fic concept i had a really long time ago revolved around. wigfrid taking some time out of her uncompromising schedule to sit down and actually process the way that her friends engage with her. and very slowly coming to the conclusion that. they love her. for more than just the persona. they love her for who she really is. even if they don't say it actively. and she takes a second to read between the lines of their engagement and 'translating' what it actually means...
i don't think i'll ever finish it but it's fun to think about. i still think it's a really good premise. her therapy session.
