Belgard

Chapter One, In Which Belgard Makes An Interest Check (1x1)

I'm here and I'm bumping!

Today's word is bucolic. Bucolic is meant to convey the pleasant side of country living. It's synonymous with pastoral, though it relates a little closer to shepherds than pastoral does (at least colloquially??). I, for one, would like to live bucolically and the only thing keeping me from absconding to a place full of cute sheep is money and a distinct lack of experience as a shepherd.

Well, it's the weekend so here's another bump!!!

This time the word is confelicity. Confelicity is the pleasure one receives in another's happiness.

Chapter One, In Which Belgard Makes An Interest Check (1x1)

A bump for my final day off, what a bummer! In the interest of not being horrifically spammerific (and to account for any pickups in my weekly workload) I think this’ll be my last bump for a bit. I’ve added some prompts to the post and a few more plot ideas. I don’t know what’s up with me and divine and infernal themes with a bit of weird America on the side but it’s just the train of thought my brain has been riding, lately.

Here’s an archaic word, but frankly I think it still holds up functionally:

Appetency

Appetency is a strong longing or desire, a craving. I’ve seen it as applied to hunger. . . Though what if hunger if not a powerful urge? Whatever the matter, I like the way it feels when I say it. Ap-pe-ten-cy.

Good Afternoon to anyone reading! Today is my day off so I figured I'd bump this again. As per my habit I'll give you all another not oft used and mostly retired word:

Eunoia.

This is a bit of an abstract concept. It means "well minded" or "beautiful thinking" in the literal sense, but it's actually applied to the goodwill audiences feel towards a public speaker or some such. I think a more modern way to think of the word would be the para social bond that forms between internet personalities big or small with their audience. I suppose it could also be applied to political speakers, or. . . Oh, hey! Mr. Rodgers is a good example of this, too!

In mental health this word is sometimes applied to a "normal" state of mind in adults.

Another bump for a lazy Sunday thus far. While I'm at it, here's another lovely but defunct word:

Selcouth. Selcouth means strange or unusual. I believe it was being used before the 12th century though I don't know when it fell out of fashion. Which is a shame, really, because it's a very pretty way to call someone weird.

Tentative bump to keep visible during my slow work weekend. In the interest of not feeling too spammy here's another pretty but obsolete word: Apricity. Apricity describes the sun's warmth in winter. Here's hoping any and all reading feel some welcomed apricity this weekend. It's cold out there!

Mom said it's my turn to use the intro forums

Hey I'm Belgard, it's short for Belgard but you can call me Belgard. It's the obsolete word for "a loving look" and not a reference to the paving company, but if you want to associate me with bricks I can't stop you.

Anyway I'm kind of an old hat at this forum stuff, been on and off for maybe over a decade now. Well, probably more but I like to wipe the embarrassing wolf rp I did as a preteen from my mind. Currently I'm working a job where I'm either ALL BUSY ALL THE TIME or sitting on my hands for hours. My only RP is a weekly tabletop and I'm dreadfully bored. So yeah, here I am!
