#grrr!

I remember mentioning this briefly in a post a while back, but I’m gonna fucking say it again because fuck you I do what I want and it’s eating at my brain.

I FUCKING LOVE THIS MOMENT!

Not even because of what he’s saying (but I do love what he’s saying) BUT I JUST LOVE HOW TOUCHY HE IS! This is the moment that birth my headcanon that his love language is physical affection. Just LOOK at him! Look at the way he puts his arms around her so casually. And he looks so happy while doing it. He just loves her so much! I CAAAN’T! HE’S SO FUCKING CUUUTE!

I don’t even rlly know how to put into word this tiny little moment makes me, but like… it just… my heart… my heart is in SHAMBLES over it. Every. Fucking. TIME!

Stannis glowered up at Theon where he hung. “You are not the only turncloak here, it would seem. Would that all the lords in the Seven Kingdoms had but a single neck…”

But what does that actually mean? It’s not grabbing a fucking thesaurus or looking up verb lists and swapping words out at random!

You need to consider the effect you want, the impact of the word choice, and each word’s connotation! Consider, for example: murmur, mutter, and mumble.

They each vaguely mean to speak quietly, but they have entirely different connotations!If you are saying something gentle and affection, you might use murmur. If you are shittalking someone under your breath, you would use mutter. If you are lacking confidence and aren’t speaking clearly, you would use mumble.

Word choice is all about context and purpose and it is vital to understand the connotations of the words you use!
