hubris? catharsis? discovery? dénouement? just read Aristotle's Poetics
John Murphy
saged. stop posting this retarded fucking image. it's so dumb unexamined and fake deep that it pisses me off
Elijah Williams
I also think that these words are tasty! They feel like moss on a rock in the shade. I offer mercurial, peat, lope, loam, trifle, tapestry, and helix.
Julian Kelly
You have good taste, definitely going to add those (not sure about "lope", maybe "elope")

ephemeral

Elope is good. Lumber(the motion verb), crackling, globule, and luminescence are fine as well.
Dylan Edwards
ah, like a lumbering giant? that is pretty great, that word always conjures wonderful imagery, speaking of which "conjure" isn't half bad either
Owen Anderson
lumbering giant is cliche. a lumbering stork? lumbering might not be fresh. lumber as an action noun could be. lumbered sucks but will work with consonance, adjacent or near. lumbers feels fresh and is an anagram of slumber, a trait of the motion and limblock of the gait.
