same, I have a hard enough time concentrating and running a blog in the first place and when I read purple prose I'm like.... "so that whole paragraph meant your character sat down K cool"

i actually don’t mind if people spend a long time describing an action --- an action, like sitting down, not a tick or a body function like breathing or blinking --- for as long as the description contains other stuff one can react to. like if you spend a paragraph telling how ‘their hand wavers as they take a hold of the chair, breathing being too fast, eyes looking everywhere as they sit down’... that’s okay, bc that has four things the other person can have their muse notice or react to, or not notice but still bring substance to the thread.

it’s when you are spending a paragraph telling about ‘soft pillars of your muse’s hand and abstract darks that cast on the chair as navy blue denim collides with wood’ when i have a problem with you
