despairing, hopeless
inevitability
deliciously so
Looking up the word hopeless in the Online Oxford Dictionary, it said:
ADJECTIVE
1 Feeling or causing despair about something:
Jessica looked at him in mute hopeless appeal his situation was obviously hopeless.
Or …
That delicious uncertainty has been replaced by despairing, hopeless inevitability.
2 Mainly British English Inadequate; incompetent:
When will governments learn they are hopeless at running businesses?
I really liked those examples.
