I'm grumpy, frustrated, so not wanting to deal with people right now. But I don't know if hunting for fic is even worth it.

Why, why is purple prose getting so popular these days?

I just want to read a some fic that doesn't make my head hurt with so much... flowery and descriptions that don't even make sense.

The "andate a la mierda humanidad" tag is not about this. It's about white rich cis liberals. Always. In any part of the world. So don't ask.

I've given up on fic, or 'direct fic' at any rate. I think scanlations of manga should count a bit like fic, given that the translators put their spin and interpretation on things.

I'm finding all Asian worlds more comforting than all white ones. But wow on the flowery descriptions. Though I got accused of bringing the purple prose in a discussion with someone who I thought was bringing privilege to a conversation. So my 'sometimes you don't need it that pretty' may not seem 100% to you.

NaNo starts/started today and it's a way to fill the numbers? *goes into hiding --but hugs you first*
