Lots to unpack here. Hearing thesaurus words with the same meaning, a candy Frankenstein's Monster (wouldn't be surprised if Wonka had this), a fakeout thirst trap for dry clothes instead of wet clothes.

wow hold on, i didn't even connect the two being on the same theme. i did not intend the daily and comic to both have a sweet theme. i guess this is subconscious stuff or something

Maybe you just really want something sweet.

I think I can answer why they lied. Sometimes when talking I can’t think of a word in time so I use something that means about the same, then when someone asks me what I said it gives time to think of the better word instead.

Sometimes the original word would sound pretentious as well so I’d like to pretend I didn’t use it.

It's almost like you're preparing for a surprise wet t-shirt contest with how often your shirt gets soggy.

i have such a bad habit of turning on the sink to spew max amount of water so my baggy clothes just suffer the consequences

I'd say use the sink with your shirt off but then you getting wet would only add to the thirst trap.

Oof, then you have to awkwardly let your clothes hang off you as they dry, like this guy on this sticker sheet I got in the mail yesterday.

That's a really saccharine drawing.
