paracosmos

Day dreaming and fantasies which are flights into the paracosmos, are an antithesis of creativity which is the most intense land of action.

1961, The American Journal of Psychiatry, volume 117, page 96:

More simply stated, the paracosmos reflects a writer's interest in examining a (generally) rather small number of persons, or types of persons, in a variety of circumstances and relationships: he has marked out a portion of the world as his own and works upon it to make it his.

1975, Roger Johnson, Editha S. Neumann, Guy T. Trail, editors, Molière and the Commonwealth of Letters: Patrimony and Posterity, University Press of Mississippi, page 421:

Such artists tend to create an imaginary world, a paracosmos where good and evil are starkly represented, where evil powers always challenge the good ones and need to be vanquished time and again.

2011, Claire Golomb, The Creation of Imaginary Worlds: The Role of Art, Magic and Dreams in Child Development, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, →ISBN, page 80:

(rare) The realm of imagination; an imaginary world.


paracosm

From English para- (prefix meaning ‘alongside, beside’) (from Ancient Greek παρα- (para-, prefix meaning ‘beside’)) + English cosm(os) (“universe”) (from Ancient Greek κόσμος (kósmos, “the earth, world; universe”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱems-, *ḱens- (“to put in order”)).

der

Imaginary playmates and paracosms may chiefly represent the vast creative potential of inherently talented people, but in less elaborated forms, they may also represent what childhood imagination can offer to the growing person. Humanity has already benefited from the paracosmic visions of Plato, Thomas More, Aldous Huxley, Thomas Hobbes, Arthur Tappan Wright^([sic – meaning Austin Tappan Wright]) (Islandia), and J. R. R. Tolkien.

1990, Dorothy G. Singer, Jerome L. Singer, “Imaginary Playmates and Imaginary Worlds”, in The House of Make-Believe: Children’s Play and the Developing Imagination, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, →ISBN; paperback edition, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1992, →ISBN, page 116:

Occasionally the fantasies of older childhood go well beyond the invention of a pretend friend. In fact, some children, typically at about 9 or 10 years of age, create "paracosms"—entire societies or worlds for the imaginary people to inhabit. [...] How common is it for children to create such elaborate fantasies, and what does the invention of a paracosm say about its creator?

1999, Marjorie Taylor, “Do Older Children and Adults Create Imaginary Companions?”, in Imaginary Companions and the Children Who Create Them, New York, N.Y.: Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 136:

As Emily [Brontë] turned in on herself for resources, she created a new paracosm, the Kingdom of Gondal, which she shared with Anne [Brontë]. The paracosm of Gondal became a way of life for the sisters; they shared its secrets for the rest of their lives.

2005, Delmont C. Morrison, Shirley Linden Morrison, Memories of Loss and Dreams of Perfection: Unsuccessful Childhood Grieving and Adult Creativity (Imagery and Human Development Series), Amityville, N.Y.: Baywood Publishing, →ISBN, page 72:

One paracosm in their study was a country called Branmail consisting totally of cats — except for its creator, a six-year-old girl named Holly who had access to the world by scaling a height called Bumpety Banks.

2007, Thomas Armstrong, “Middle Childhood: Entering the Civilized World”, in The Human Odyssey: Navigating the Twelve Stages of Life, New York, N.Y.: Sterling Publishing, →ISBN, page 93:

The children created these inner worlds for a number of reasons, though each paracosm tends to be a long-lasting, heavily structured, and internally consistent.

2010, Sarah Lynne Bowman, “Role-playing as Alteration of Identity”, in The Functions of Role-playing Games: How Participants Create Community, Solve Problems and Explore Identity, Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland & Company, →ISBN, page 130:

A detailed imaginary world, especially one created by a child.

etymon

The video is part of a growing phenomenon making its way around message boards and e-mail chains called “creepypasta” — bite-sized bits of scariness that have joined the unending list of things-to-do-when-you’re-bored-at-work.

2010 November 14, “Bored at Work? Try Creepypasta, or Web Scares”, in The New York Times, Austin Considine:

The game was born from the familiar 'Slenderman' image, which you may or may not be familiar with from internet memes and creepypasta horror stories.

2012 September 14, Kaz Scattergood, “Spooked by Slender, Fuse (Sheffield Students' Union)”, in magazine, volume 9, number 49, page 2:

"[…] Listen to the nineteen personal creepypasta-style stories to piece together the mysterious events of that fateful night in 1898, when twelve orphans simply… disappeared!"

2013 September 7, “Huntsman: The Orphanage”, in Adventure Lantern, number 46, page 7:

The eerie “Lavender Town” theme has infiltrated the nightmares of an entire generation of children and has even inspired one of the most well known “creepypastas” on the Internet.

2013 November 14, Joey Dussault, “The 10 Best Original Soundtracks In The Gaming World”, in Tastemakers Magazine (Northeastern University), number 33, page 11:

A friend pointed her to Creepypasta, a collection of user-generated horror fan sites in which written, Photoshopped, and videotaped accounts of encounters with monsters and supernatural evil are presented as “real” in the form of encyclopedia entries, testimonials, and other “documentary” evidence.

2015 August 24, Lisa Miller, “Slender Man Is Watching”, in New York Magazine, page 62:

(Internet slang) Frightening urban legends and short stories in the horror genre, circulated on the Internet.

creepypasta

As creepypastas surgiram como uma evolução do folclore digital moderno. Essas histórias começaram a ganhar popularidade no início dos anos 2000, quando fóruns e sites de compartilhamento de histórias, como o 4chan e o Reddit, proporcionaram plataformas para que os usuários compartilhassem narrativas de terror originais.

2024 March 24, Millena dos Santos Siqueira, Creepypasta: você sabe o que é esse tipo de história?:

Creepypastas emerged as an evolution of modern digital folklore. These stories began to gain popularity in the early 2000s, when forums and story-sharing sites such as 4chan and Reddit provided platforms for users to share narratives of the original Horror.

A releitura dessas tramas com personagens macabros assustadores feita pela "geração selfie" chama-se Creepypasta.

2018 August 24, Momo, Slender Man e outras lendas da internet... O que é Creepypasta e como ela invadiu a cultura pop?:

The reinterpretation of these plots with scary macabre characters made by the "selfie generation" is called Creepypasta.

Algumas Creepypastas são impressionantes e conseguem entreter e fazer com que caia na boca do povo fazendo todo mundo falar, afinal muita gente gosta de uma historinha de terror e quer compartilhar aquilo, enquanto outras são mal escritas, às vezes porque o autor não tem capacidade criativa e às vezes porque o exagero chega ao ponto do ridículo quebrando todo o clima e fazendo a pessoa falar "Ah ta, então o teletubbie maldito matou a vizinhança dele toda, aham...".

2012 July 1, O que é Creepypasta? Descubra tudo sobre elas!:

Some Creepypastas are impressive and manage to entertain and make people talk, after all, many people like a horror story and want to share it, while others are poorly written, sometimes because the author lacks creative capacity. and sometimes because the exaggeration reaches the point of ridiculousness, breaking the whole atmosphere and making the person say "Ah, so the damn teletubbie killed his whole neighborhood, huh...".

seapunk

en-noun

seapunk (countable and uncountable, plural seapunks)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-seapunk.wav

From sea + -punk; compare earlier cyberpunk, steampunk. Coined by Brooklyn-based DJ Lil Internet, who tweeted about a surreal dream he had in June 2011 ("Seapunk leather jacket with barnacles where the studs used to be"), and later popularized as a Twitter hashtag.

Seapunk's aqueous adherents, mostly in the Midwest but spreading fast […] have been characterized as goth mermaids, which certainly captures the look and feel: think turquoise-dyed hair and an embrace of all things oceanic, yay for steampunk jellyfish outfits.

2012 January 10, Marke B., “Mermaids vs. unicorns”, in San Francisco Bay Guardian:

Many thought this understandably short-lived meme had died a watery death in 2011, but when Rihanna took to Saturday Night Live to perform Diamonds recently, with a full-on seapunk-influenced production, it got a new lease of life.

2012 December 14, Lucy Stehlik, “Seapunk: scenester in-joke or underground art movement?”, in The Guardian:

She also lashed out at Azealia Banks, who dropped an explicitly seapunk video the same week, but Azealia's fine in my books. She’s always been into seapunk stuff, she “came from the internet” unlike Rihanna, she actually commits to and genuinely engages with the seapunk visuals (e.g riding dolphins) and they at least somewhat fit her song and attitude.

2013, Cameron Welch, "That's That Shit I Don't Like: The Year in Wackness", The Phoenix (UBCO), 7 January 2013, page 11 (online version)

(aesthetic, uncountable) A fashion and visual art style, characterized by aquatic themes and colours, rave culture, and the digital aesthetic of the 1990s.

(neologism, countable) A follower of the seapunk style.

In spite of his parsonical black, and that other well-known clerical disguise, a bad case of Pulpit's Disease, the "king of tears" cuts a more dashing figure than the Rake, and the role is by a long shot the stageworthiest in the opera.

1969, Igor Stravinsky, Robert Craft, Retrospectives and conclusions:

By this we mean each song first must be stageworthy and then must add to the picture of yourself which you are trying to paint for your audience.

1982, John Davidson, Cort Casady, The Singing Entertainer:

(theater) Worthy, fit, or deserving of stage presentation; stageable.


Azraël

Borrowed from Arabic عِزْرَائِيل (ʕizrāʔīl).

1963, Nicolas Bouvier, L'Usage du Monde, 2005 ed., Payot & Rivages, p. 166; translated 1992 by Robyn Marsack as The Way of the World, 2011 ed., Eland

Kurds who had trespassed into the town ran great risk of being placed on the ground with their faces in the earth instead of being put upright in the grave with their faces towards Mecca, as custom required. Azriel, the Angel of Death, would take offence at their unseemly position and refuse them entrance to Paradise.

Les Kurdes trépassés dans la ville couraient grand risque d’être enterrés à plat et face contre terre, au lieu d’être installés dans la fosse, le visage tourné contre La Mecque, comme l’exige la coutume. Ainsi Azraël, l’ange de la mort, blessé par cette posture inconvenante, leur refuserait l’accès au paradis.

the cake is a lie

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-the cake is a lie.wav

From the 2007 video game Portal, in which a self-aware computer, GLaDOS, lures the player into participating in dangerous experiments with the promise of cake. As the game progresses, the player discovers graffiti left by the only previous test subject to survive GLaDOS' murderous scheme, including the warning "the cake is a lie".

The jokes are cake, and the cake is a lie — fan-service tricking nerds into watching a show designed for adults who vote Republican (Middle America!).

2011 December 15, Nick Martin, “A Hit Sitcom In Just Five Easy Steps!”, in Buzz Weekly, page 6:

The assumption that a degree will vastly improve future earnings is increasingly misleading. By their very nature high paid jobs are exclusive and limited in number. "The cake is a lie."

2012, James Margeson, "The quiet assault on public education", The Sphinx (University of Liverpool), March 2012, page 9

“One shitty leader doesn't mean the cake is a lie. One man's decisions don't invalidate everything else—the ideals, the history, the words etched in marble and the sacrifices of all the people who make the United States a just and safe place to live.”

2012 November 12, J. L. Hilton, Stellarnet Prince, Carina Press, →ISBN, page 320:

my body is ready

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-my body is ready.wav

From an impromptu comment made by Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime while volunteering to try the Wii Balance Board during a demonstration of Wii Fit at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in 2007.

I noticed many innuendos that the general children’s audience may not pick up; “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” with Nala and Simba? I sure did, especially when she gave Simba the “my body is ready” face towards the end of the song.

2011, Phaedra Brady, "Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful flick", The Eye (Palm Harbor University High School), 3 October 2011

My grand idea is to slip the handsome James Dean look-alike in my History class a note that says "My body is ready, do me."

2012, Tanya Paz, "February Goes Down The Shitter", The Union Weekly (California State University, Long Beach), Volume 70, Issue 4, 13 February 2012, page 4

Then I found Trent University. Having heard rumours that it was "the gayest school in Canada", I burned with a newfound resolve – the conviction that this was the time and place where I would finally grow to be more than a straight young white guy. Finally I would go beyond the existence of a one-dimensional character in a pre-1960's middle class novel about the racial majority.
Introductory Seminar Week: my body is ready. This is it. This is when everyone lets loose. I can't let this opportunity slip away… […]

Oyelowo is a fashion victim and trots around her new patch in pretty stilettos. She changes her outfit and hair at least four times in each episode and spends a lot of time bickering with her new boss. Oh, did I mention they were an item long ago? Hence all that UST.

„Blbec,“ řekl Rejsek. „Nebezpečný. Mnoho našich lidí dnes švejkuje. Zahrává si. Národní choroba. Ať si myslí, ke všem čertům, co chce, trumpeta, ale ať nechá hlouposti. Začne jako Švejk a skončí jako sabotér, jako podvratný živel na šibenici. […]“

1959, Jan Otčenášek, Romeo, Julie a tma:

“Idiot,” Rejsek said. “Dangerous one. Many of our people play like Švejk. They play dangerous games. National disease. Damn! He can think what he wants, fool, but he should stop doing stupid things. He starts like Švejk and ends like a saboteur, like a seditious element, on the gallows. […] ”

to protest against an absurd command or obligation by means of even more absurdly punctilious and zealous performance; act or play like Švejk

2007 August 10, the_boy_blunder [username], “Fiddildy Fucking Dee, it's enough to make you not want to kill yourself”, in alt.suicide.holiday (Usenet):

Some of us were beginning to think you'd made yourself into "an hero" for Christmas, but I always knew you'd be back.

2008 December 24, Alex Clark, “Re: Tom Cruise on Kimmel last night”, in alt.religion.scientology (Usenet):

Again, the crosslight is best designed to angle slightly upstage taking care not to produce shadows on backings.

1967, Jerry J. Lewis, An Approach to Lighting Design from Modern Dance, page 11:

Quick buffo comedy requires the clarity of the straight play, while sustained romantic anguish flourishes in atmospheric backlights and crosslight.

(uncountable, theater) Illumination directed at the performers or subject matter from opposite sides of the set.


Watsonian

en-adj

Watsonian (comparative more Watsonian, superlative most Watsonian)

more Watsonian (comparative)
most Watsonian (superlative)

From Watson + -ian. "In-universe" sense formed in reference to Dr. John Watson, the fictional author within the text of the Sherlock Holmes stories, in contrast to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as the real author of the stories. Started in Sherlock Holmes fandom before spreading to other fandoms. Possibly originating in the "Baker Street Irregulars" fan club and entering the science fiction fandom usage (fanspeak) via the Lois McMaster Bujold mailing list.

I would accept that many of them behave like humans born on earth would, but that must be an artefact of poor translation or our poor understanding of their motives and objectives [Watsonian] or lack of vision on the writers part [Doylist - to borrow some terms from the Bujold mailing list - think 'as written by' Dr Watson or by Arthur Conan Doyle].

2000 October 6, Martin Bonham, “Banks was Re: Multi-culturalism in space?”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet), message-ID <970804830.406747@hermes>:

IIRC, Wells specifically described the choice of Southern England as being as much about "bridgehead" as about "decapitation strike". I think he said something about settling in to the island and building up strength before spreading out to the continent and planet.¶ That's the Watsonian explanation of course, the Doyleist explanation is that he was writing an allegory of white men wiping about the Tasmanians, from the point of view of the Tasmanians. He needed to set it where his English readers would be horrified by the destruction, and the Martian invasion of Korea or Florida or Sri Lanka, or even Ireland, wouldn't have had as much of an impact.

2005 May 30, Del Cotter, “Re: The past as a foreign country”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet), message-ID <oZTd7a9563mCFw2X@branta.demon.co.uk>:

While fans recognize and do engage in Doylist readings, they tend to find Watsonian readings more engaging. Fan fiction writers in particular engage with the text intradiegetically.

2012, Laurie Cubbison, “Russell T Davies, 'Nine Hysterical Women,' and the Death of Ianto Jones”, in New Media Literacies and Participatory Popular Culture Across Borders, →ISBN:

I think the best Watsonian explanation is that shopkeepers aren't quite right in the head. They know that most players intend to rob them blind, but don't understand how the successful ones are doing it.

2014 March 28, Michael Deutschmann, “Re: WhichDevTeam-enabled actions seem like cheating to you?”, in rec.games.roguelike.nethack (Usenet), message-ID <%gcXNTpsfY@bagheera.talosis.ca>:

The French were very sore about the unceremonious manner in which the Dual Control was dispensed with.
