From The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle (1914)

Pronunciation:
\ stu̇-ˈpen-dəs \ adjective

Definition:
: so great in size, force or extent as to elicit awe

"With data pixels so small, this amounted to quadrillions of megabytes per square centimeter — a stupendous amount of information, but not an infinite amount. Trying to cram too much information into any region would cause it to exceed a limit decreed by Jacob Bekenstein, then a Princeton graduate student and Hawking’s rival, and cause it to collapse into a black hole."

Overbye, D. (2021, October 10).
Black Holes May Hide a Mind-Bending Secret About Our Universe.
New York Times.

2. Two weeks of poker had led to his writing to his uncle a distressed, but confident, request for more funds; and the avuncular foot had come down with a joyous bang.— P. G. Wodehouse

Cantankerous (adjective)

Pronunciation: can·​tan·​ker·​ous | \ kan-ˈtaŋ-k(ə-)rəs

Definition: difficult or irritating to deal with

Word origin: Unknown. "It’s been speculated that cantankerous is a product of the Middle English contack, meaning “contention,” under the influence of a pair of words: rancorous and cankerous. Rancorous brings the anger and "bitter deep-seated ill will" (as rancor can be understood to mean). And cankerous brings the perhaps understandable foul mood: a cankerous person suffers from painful sores—that is, cankers." from Merriam Webster web site 

Example sentence: "But if you asked us how the cantankerous creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm could possibly help alleviate the stresses and symptoms of a disease as insidious as schizophrenia, the only answer we’d be able to come up with is “leave the room.”" Keegan Kelly, How Curb Your Enthusiasm Was Used To Treat Schizophrenia , 4 Jul 2022

Name a ship that you love to share with others.

Ashura/Yasha-o from Rg Veda. Because although Ashura is destined to destroy the world, Yasha-o still trusts and loves him more than his life. Because although they are equal and support each other through trauma and loss. Because Rg Veda is a really good Clamp manga with great characters that deserves more love. Here is a great ship manifesto: [RG Veda&TRC] A Bond to Change Fate: the Yasha/Ashura Manifesto

Name a ship that you love but have conflicted feelings over

I ship Remus/Sirius in Harry Potter as two broken people with shared secrets and trauma who find comfort and pain in each other, where there is something that can outlast love, but I still hope they can find temporary solace. This meant I am weirdly picky about fics.
