I don’t know about you, but when I write a long descriptive moment I make sure every detail is important whether it is introspection, description, narration, or characterization. Not every writer who writes long form is “padding” their ideas with meaningless filler. It’s paper thin critique and argumentation if so, if you ask me.

I'm not critiquing anyone or anything specifically.  I'm just saying that, when approaching a piece, length for the sake of length is a bad practice, and avoiding shortness because you don't want to be seen as low-effort is similarly bad.  For example, this was from the mods' RP Guide on an old forum I used to RP on, addressing the struggle to hit the required word-count for posts: 

[quote]One thing that you must always remember is that adjectives are your friend.

"Nathaniel Long cut the mans head from his shoulders with one swing of his sword."

Whilst that is perfectly ok, its not great and as such can be drastically improved.

"Nathaniel Long parted the mans head from his neck, feeling slight resistance as he cut through the spinal cord, with one colossal swing of his motorized blade."

Remember no matter what you do you can always be more descriptive. Even then you can go into more detail. In that example above I could have written about how flecks of the mans blood were flying of the blade and how blood pored out of his neck like a water fountain.[/quote]  

Like, adjectives are adjectives, they're not your enemy or your friend.  I don't think you can say either the first or the second thing here is inherently better than the other, but it's definitely not right to approach your writing with the mindset of, "the more I describe, the better it will be."
