Crepuscular I agree with.
SEPULCHRE is one of my most fucking hated words. It reeks of goth pseudo. Just say tomb. You're not Edgar Allan Poe
>>7879464
Melancholy, ice, logical, cumbersome, catalyst, meritocracy, aesthetic, cohesion, midnight, night, sky.
>>7884969
I agree with you in terms of its usage but it is a very nice word.
>>7879464
Asphyxiation. Not to be edgy, but I really like words ending in "iation", and the "A" in the start really ties the end of the word together. The "Sphyx" isn't particularly interesting to me, as I dislike the look of words with x in them, and "sphyx" sounds bad alone, though when in the word Asphyxoation, it sounds ok.
apricity
>>7884773
I was thinking about that. Making a thread where you post your top ten words and then you have to write something heavily based around the words.Could be interesting.
These threads may be the single most Reddit thing this board does.
It's like a child's idea of what people who like probably do.
