I've recently watched the video "How to write the unthinkable" where one of the methods used by Lovecraft himself was not to write WHAT it is but rather write about the effect it has on the surroundings. During first 60+ seconds after tasting Red Bull Negroni you said _nothing_ about the taste itself - but your reaction, the pure fear, the essense of agony on your face, trembling in your voice... It said more than any adjective could say. Well done, my friend, you have wrote the unthinkable.
@lefterismplanas4977 Жыл бұрын
I found that myself during writing. I find it hard to make solid pictures with detailed description. The more details there are the less I see. So, during my writing I'm using a mix of Actual descriptions and of "writing the unthinkable" I actually got the idea to do it from a a video somewhere, forgot where or when. But it said that no words can ever hope to surpass what one can make up for himself in his mind. And I believe "writing the unthinkable" has that as its basis. I know you asked for non of this 🤣 But I was in a mood to talk alot, sorry 😂

Fun fact! I believe when you combine beer/ale/lager with European lemonade (like sprite) it's known as a Shandy in the UK - such as a bitter shandy (a bitter ale), lager shandy (obvs) etc. A cider (hard cider) with sprite i think is more likely a rattler - I know there's a brand of cider called Rattler in the UK at least. So I believe you made a Stout Shandy (based on naming conventions in the UK).

You made the minty milk and I immediately thought “I don’t have that brand of peppermint schnapps but I have peppermint schnapps. I’m trying this.” I substituted some heavy cream in for some of the milk. It’s not bad. I didn’t have any chocolate liquor so I used Hershey Syrup. Also pretty good. Added more milk and I don’t know the proportions anymore but I got something that is actually quite good. But definitely more milk than schnapps.

A similar thing to the Rumple and Milk you've done here, I once went to a bar in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK called Lebowski's. As you would expect, the cocktail menu was exclusively variations on the White Russian (all designed around different elements of the film), but they had a version on there called 'The Toe'. It replaced the coffee liqueur in the traditional White Russian with Creme de Menthe and it tasted EXACTLY like mint-choc chip ice cream. Needless to say I had several!! Check out the cocktail menu for Lebowski's... it's absolute genius.

Regional pronunciations make perfect sense when you can't hear people from all over the world on a regular basis, but it also makes sense that some of that falls away when you can, if something is from a specific place how they say it should probably be considered "canon" vs the weird ways people elsewhere came up with how to say it.

This. But also, I've never met or heard an American that hasn't had trouble pronouncing the word, and EVERYONE in the UK, regardless of regional accents and dialects, pronounces it "Wooster" or "Wooster-shuh". Regardless of any other aspect of this, "Woo-ster-shuh/Wuh-stuh-sher" is always going to be easier to actually SAY for any native English speaker than the "Wurst-chest-er-shy-er" approach. I mean, English barely has rules so do what you want, but I think if you can make it easier on yourself, AND be "correct" why wouldn't you?
