Dolorn

Dolorn (adj./n.)
from Latin dolor (pain) + Old English lorn (lost, forsaken)

“DOH-lorn”
or written phonetically: /ˈdoʊ-lɔ rn/

Definition:
A tender, aching state of sorrow born from being both hurt and forgotten; to feel everything deeply while realizing no one sees the depth of your pain.

Example (poetic use):

“She sat in the quiet, dolorn — not empty, but overflowing with unseen ache.”

Alternate phrasing:

“Dolorn is when your heart still beats, but it feels like no one hears the sound.”

dolonia

The fear when people genuinely like you and you can’t fathom why.
Wondering if they have you confused for someone you believe they deserve, someone who doesn’t have the qualities you hate the most about yourself.

When you look into my eyes, I’m struck by dolonia, and I’m sure you’ll leave me soon

Deader than a doornail

When something is so dead as to not have any life left in it , as not to even be able to be revived .

I don't think I'm gonna be able to get your car started , that battery is deader than a doornail !

dolorblindness

The frustration that you'll never be able to understand another person's pain, only, ever searching their face for some faint evocation of it, then rifling through your own experiences for some slapdash comparison wishing you could tell them truthfully, "I know exactly how you feel."

Coined by author and poet, John Coney

The dolorblindness I feel seeing her like that is unbearable.

Dolores Jane Umbridge

Dolores Jane Umbridge, or just Umbridge, is the toad faced cunt that first appears in Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix. She is loathed by almost every student, teacher or employee in Hogwarts, aside from Slytherin house which she shows blatant favouritism to, and the caretaker Filch. She has committed several atrocities to many characters, such as her firing Harry to carve *I must to tell lies* into his hand for weeks on end, forcefully sacking Treylawney, refusing to teach the students and actual education, attempting to sack and Hagrid, and nearly killing McGonagall in the process and trying to send Albus Dumbledore to Azkaban. In The Deathly Hallows, she becomes the Minister for Magic, and starts making illegal court cases against muggleborn witches and and wizards. At the end of the series, she is committed to Azkaban. In HP, almost every single character has something redeemable and there is barely a character that is completely hated. That being said, I have never found a character who doesn't despise Umbridge.

HP fan: Hey, do you think Lucius Malfoy was a good character?
Me: Well, he's no Dolores Jane Umbridge.

Dolores umbridge

A motherfucking idiot who dresses in all pink and makes students write with quills that cut into their hands. If you like this character, seek mental help.

Dolores umbridge is my least favourite harry potter character

Dolores Madrigal.

The most beautiful thing on earth from the move, 'Encanto.' She was given a gift, (superpower) which is super hearing. Her hair goes in a bun and is from Colombia. She has a crush on her cousin, Isabela's boyfriend, not knowing the future of her and Mariano. (Isabela's boyfriend.)

Me: OMG have you seen 'Encanto?!'
Bff: Yes, why?
Me: Who's your fav?
Bff: Uhhh, Camilo Madrigal.
Me: What about Dolores Madrigal? She's Beautiful! She can hear my Pizza Rolls finish from a mile away!
Sis: I also like Dolores Madrigal.
