Similies are like the Reddit 50/50 challenge: you either get something very good, or your eyes will melt off. I mean, you can ruin the mood with a bad one and make yourself a laughing stock. Metaphors are more, well: > **Simile:**"Oh come on, his heart is soft like a plush toy, I don't want to make him feel bad." > **Metaphor:**"Oh come on, he's such a plushie heart, I don't want to make him feel bad." In both cases, the key is somewhere in the analogy, if that's shoddy you fail. What I can't figure out is what makes an analogy shoddy when it's (scientifically speaking) accurate. **How to know if my analogy is as weak as my will to live?** * * * Note: I won't commit suicide, that goes against my programming.
