I don't really agree but, its just a question.
I mean, not even the super good rpers like ti—eik and purring use those, and what I mean by super detailed is A brown-skinned girl looked at the white girl with her female eyes.
I'm just wondering
you can flame me now |

| I don't use adjectives to describe nouns that have already been described - For instance, I wouldn't say 'the blue eyed man' if the blue eyed man has a name and I've already described him. However, if there were two people, one with darker hair and one with lighter hair, and the readers didn't know their names, and aside from that they looked roughly the same, I wouldn't hesitate to use that to differentiate them. |

You mean something like this?
"The pale-skinned girl slowly slipped her hand into the buttery, cream-coloured popcorn while making sure her dark-skinned love did not spot her." |

| I'm alright with the pale-skinned girl part if her name is unknown and the popcorn part if you want to draw emphasis on the food she's eating, but you don't particularly need to describe anything about her lover unless she has multiple. |

| I'm sure we can agree one unnecessarily detailed sentences such as detailing every feature of a person who isn't the subject of the action or sentence. But sometimes it's nice to have detailed sentences every now and then to set the ambiance. |

| That made no sense, eh, lack of sleep. To rephrase unnecessary details are overall bad, but detailed sentence can be useful for setting the tone and mood of the scene/other |

I'm great with run-on sentences, it's sad.
Btw, Ginger came on, Constel. But by the time she did, I had forgotten the messave. |

| Super-detailed sentences are good to set up ambiances and stuff, but they get annoying if you keep describing the same things over and over again. |

I heavily disagree in an unfaltering manner about the pompously and energetically detailed sentences that are jam-packed with the longest adjectives known to the writer and the most elegant descriptions, as well.
Seriously though, I really have no problem with heavily detailed sentences. If an already named noun is restated, then that gets on my nerves, but if a lot of adjectives are used, then I'm fine with it. (Except if it's to the point where the use of adjectives is obsessively frequent.) |

| I simply cannot believe that you believe this blasphemous accusation of an innocent such as myself, much less even ever have such a dangerous thought cross your bleak, empty mind as you go along through your day in a whirlwind of petty lies. |
