HATE when there’s an objectively cooler word for what you want to say but you can’t use it because it’s “archaic” or “obsolete” 🙄 Okay well my best friends from the 1600s say it sounds fine.
OP this can’t stay in the tags
Anyway you can pry “alas” out of my cold dead hands.
Old school words totally work in the right context imo. Like most creative things, it’s largely a matter of making it work.
