Fictional country: average fantasy

Fictional small town in the middle of nowhere in real country: par for the course in any genre

Fictional major city in real country: standard fair, but it's usually clearly based on a real city

Fictional suburb of real major city in real country: strange but I can see the application

Real major city in fictional country: Chicago can be anywhere you dream of

oh hey, look at this craigslist apartment scam that accidentally forgot to run its vary-the-text-a-little script before pasting in the description

I thought this was litmag poetry for a second.

You're the third person in the notes to say this is like poetry and re-reading it I agree!! The kind of synonymous parallelism that it's structured around has a long history in lots of poetry traditions, like biblical Hebrew. But the stiltedness (what are "bright panes" and "sunny openings" other than a forced replacement for "large windows"?) and the overuse of the parallelisms here just make the advertising language feel super hollow. It's this array of utopian homes that are described with a bunch of interchangeable virtues because they don't exist. It's kind of amazing.

oh those are my tags! im kinda getting beaten up by something rn but hes one of my ghost boyfriends, oceans of time is my tag for our relationship. it comes from the bram stoker's dracula quote "i have crossed oceans of time to find you". hes 103 years older. sorry for any confusion

lakevida

ohh okay

I’m just going to point out that Bram Stoker didn’t write that line in Dracula. I know the movie by Francis Ford Coppola is called Bram Stoker’s Dracula, but it wasn’t a line that was in the book itself.

This fact is obviously the most important thing to point out in this entire post and there’s absolutely nothing else that warrants talking about btw.

OK im running defense for the person with the ghost boyfriend theyre saying its a line from the movie and it is. i think a ghostfucker would know a thing or two about differentiating draculas

ok so 1 literally his url starts with Schizo do you think this might be conveying some sort of relevant information or perhaps Matter 2: Literally yeah he didnt say the book he just said 'the bram stoker's dracula quote' which very literally could be either On account of how that's the movie's FUCKING title Do not come for the guy with the ghost boyfriend i'll be mad. you just wanna make fun cuz you dont believe his experience Using specific pronouns because he HAS THEM IN BIO ALSO. CAN WE TRY. SORRY. CAN WE.
