OH MY GOD @itsanerdlife

@softwintersoldier @sebbylover24 HE IS TERRIFIED !!!!!
@papi-chulo-bucky I KNOW LMAO HE REMINDS ME OF HIS CHARACTER IN LAW AND ORDER
My god
also guys i think it’s time to start spelling ‘small’ right again,, it’s been long enough
see the thing is, at this point, smol isn’t even a “mispelling” of small anymore; it has its own connotations. while small is a regular adjective, smol acts more like a diminutive marker, which English has been lacking
in essence, a smol dog will always be a small dog, but not all small dogs are smol.
what the fuck are you talking about
Linguistic evolution. Accept the smolness into your vocabulary and be cleansed.
@nentindo, assuming you’re asking in good faith & not just trying to dismiss a perfectly accurate analysis, here’s an elaboration of what @princeofdoomrps said:
small and smol mean different things, so they’re different words. smol means something like “small in a cute way” & not just like both small and cute but the two are related. This is what makes smol more like a diminutive marker (c.f. -tje in Dutch, or -let/-ling/-ie [like in kidlet/kidling/kiddie] in some forms of English*)
note that: 1. not all small things are smol. Microbes and electrons? Generally not considered smol.
2. similar-sized things in the same category can be smol or not depending on cuteness. So, a tiny cottage may be a smol house, but an equally tiny tenement room that is an awful place to live? Not smol.
3. smol can refer to youth (e.g. the people I call my “smol frens” are mostly taller than I am but much younger)
4. It also can have implications of fondness/emotional attachment, especially, from what I’ve seen, in fandoms where people call characters things like “my smol son”, which doesn’t have to mean someone who’s actually young, short, or cute at all. Like, IDK if anyone uses that to refer to Hannibal but I wouldn’t be surprised?
So! There are contexts where you could call something/someone small but not smol, and contexts where you could call something/someone smol but not small. This is the textbook definition of “different words”. They are no longer the same word and op, you are very welcome to only use one of them! Anyone is!
Just be aware that pretty much every part of your vocabulary, someone at some point has decried as “wrong” usage and complained about people mangling the language this way, and when you do this thing you’re carrying on a long tradition of pompous silliness.
–
* English isn’t completely lacking in diminutive markers just kinda deficient. And some of those markers have become derisive or dismissive in usage, which i hope never happens to my smol word-child, smol.
[edited for clarity]
I love linguistic evolution.

bucky barnes experiences one feeling.
pain.
it is a familiar word, both in the physical sense and metaphorical. it encompasses every emotion he wishes didn’t exist and denies him of the very emotion he craves. he wants the sweet scent of honey to breathe into his lungs. he wants to see stars before his eyes and become a breathing artwork. but instead, his lungs are contaminated with charcoal and the sticky texture of tar. every time he exhales, the reminder of his new life expresses itself in puffs of black smoke.
he feels the angriest at himself. he’s furious at the way his cries dull into submission by the whisper of ten words. he despises the way his promise of revenge so easily simmers into obedience. but most of all, he hates the way he cannot remember himself. his memories are his life support; they are his oxygen.
and he cannot breathe without them.
one day, he will remember. and it will be a glorious day, in which the clouds depart and the angels peer down at him in awe. when he remembers, he will hug the blonde haired man that fluttered through his dreams as a beacon of hope, and say my friend, my best friend, my memory.
but until then, he is limited to the haunting red star and dark concrete walls of his cell. in a blind fury, he screams to the sky where the ghost of him resides:
“Don’t you remember? DON’T YOU REMEMBER THE PAST? DON’T YOU REMEMBER YOUR MEMORIES? GODDAMMIT, DON’T YOU REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE?”
the memories that craft his soul and extinguish the red star.
……. I hope people don’t take this as an excuse to send him their underage boobs. I know I’m cynical af, but i had the thought and fandom is crazy enough to do it. :/
“Seb will see my bobbies!!!!”

“What would I give for a playboy who couldn’t keep it in his pants, and who runs through women? What I have is a son who shows no interest in them. What you do at night with your boys, after your show of skirt-chasing, is a disgrace.”
#his acting in this scene #just #just this alone #oh my god #the way you can feel every single emotional punch his father lands on him #and how he still tries to keep it together#not let the tears fall #don’t let him see #how he grits his jaw #that little spasm #an he’s about to roll his lips into his mouth but doesn’t #just breathe #breathe breathe breathe #it fucking murders me #every time #your talent blows me backwards #you’re such a gift #im forever thankful that you”ve graced my screen
