You say "whoa" to a horse. Keanu says "woah." Totally different.
Also, "sike" is not a word.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I would love if people (I'm related to) would stop talking about how quite their houses are.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
What the hell does "free reign" even mean?
I assume it's like when I was young and would clip a lead rope to my horse's halter and drape it over his neck, lie back and let him wander around the desert while I watched the clouds.
That said, I don't think this practice is so common that people should use the phrase.

My otherwise beloved husband cannot spell the word "quiet." I married him even knowing this!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Also, meara and Plei, I'm so sorry. I have a bit of sad fatigue due to some in-law drama (mine are awesome, just that family is having some inheritance stuff that my backwoods po' ass doesn't understand).

I look more rad than Lutheranism
And "woah" isn't even how it SOUNDS.
eta No, it doesn't, either!
Zenkitty is right. They both sound like w-sound followed by long o-sound.
"Woah" reads like a 2-syllable word -- wo-a.
WRONG.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Persay.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't get worked up over "free reign" either - how does it change the idiomatic meaning of the phrase? Unrestrained monarch vs unrestrained horse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What the hell does "free reign" even mean?
I assume people think of it as reigning freely, which I can't hate them for. Except, they're wrong.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Unrestrained monarch is more dangerous.
