I find myself sympathetic to Tyler. Mormon cult parents, a homophobic society, autistic. And then you have a toxic fascist society that wants to feed him to the wolves. What other stories are told from the perspective of those hated by an evil blood thirsty corrupt society. I’m aware of the Jesus and the New Testament gospels along with Grendel. Any other suggestions?

>>24734479You enter reality is fakeYour entire worldview and reality is a lie. People are not god. You are not god. People do not control or determine reality. The people in power do not control or determine reality. People are not equal. People are not blank slates, people are not inherently good noble savages, people are not perfectible, people are not rational and rationally disconnected from their environment. There is no realm of higher purely rational thought disconnected from emotions and impulses. People and society cannot be improved through social engineering by leftist collage educated experts, managerial bureaucrats, or the state.Progress is not inherent to reality. Reality is not entirely and fundamentally material. reality is not fundamentally dead but alive and consciousness and responsive and evolving. Reality is not fundamentally only literal. Reality is not fundamentally and only rational. Reality is not fundamentally disenchanted. The divine and spiritual is real. the meak are not more moral than the great, morality and greatness are two different dimensions of reality. Weakness and tolerance are not virtuous. Everything just is what it is. Reality is inherently mysterious. Self loathing is just as evil as hubris. Your entire worldview is just a rationalization for the ruling managerial class and the totalitarian state to gain ever increasing amounts of power and turn people into cogs. Your entire worldview is just lying and stealing and parasitism. Your entire worldview is just a way to deny reality and evade responsibility and remain immature and evil and not grow up and be virtuous and responsible and act like an actual fucking adult.
>>24734479I find myself sympathetic to Tyler because he got caught up in a Mossad plot to kill Kirk and is actually innocent
>>24734523You're either gay, bi, or straight. Why bother punishing people for that? Society can't just adapt and move on? If you let this point go, half the Left would collapse with nothing to do.

These tales offered thrills for the common man and let imaginations soar. Though the magazines are gone, the spirit lives on, and here at /pg/, we explore the worlds, characters, and stories they inspired.

My favourite Conan stories are the heist/roguish ones. Tower of the Elephant, Rogues in the House.Really grand. Would love more examples of stories like that (not Conan necessarily) from anons.

It references a mentally ill kid who shot up a bunch of random people in a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. He himself was a Latino and targeted slightly darker Latinos. Not something a Muslim should be wearing, racism is against Islam.All this junk is really poisoning the minds of the youth. Crusius was Jewish as well, or his parents were. You realize there are federal agents and military propagandists trying to push young people to suicidal acts of terror.It is satanic honestly. It is called demoralization propaganda. In WWII it was these leaflets they would drop on enemy soldiers to try and demoralize them to stop fighting. That was comparatively innocent. Now it is a sociopathic online propaganda campaign to push youth to suicidal acts of terror to restrict gun rights and expand the power of the federal government.I worry for what the wicked government, zionist imperialists really, are doing to the minds of the youth. This website offers a place to speak without censorship by the zionist imperialists, somewhat, but it is full of so much filth that I realize now it is not suitable for a Muslim to use.Exceptions should not be made. I have tried to filter things and Halalize using the site, but this is not a good example. Please, Muslims, stop using these websites and every website that features any Haram at all. Including big social media sites. I will lead by example by cutting out this Haram.

Fess up. I know you have at least one. I'm talking phrases or words that you can't stop overusing in your writing. What's yours? Maybe we can help each other. For me, it's "after a moment/minute." I'm 700 words into a short story, and I've already used this three times.

I use some of these or a variant of a bit too often. Also it should be noted that most of the stories i have written feature pathetic drunkards and alcohol in some shape or form, so it's a storytelling crutch/plot device i use very much.>his eyes were nailed to>sheepishly>as the night came upon them/as the night fell around them/as the sky's raiment was changed to black/as the stars began to shone in night's raiment(i usually describe the arrival of nighttime in some variant of aforementioned sentences)>he gulped nervously>he wobbled on the floor>stared dully>thought venomously/pettily

300 pages in and this book seems to entirely be about one german man's desire to fuck an asian woman.
This book is dogshit. Complaining about the mediocrity of the art establishment is something; but if you do, don't be even more mediocre than them. Just name drops imageboard and memes for nothing, the style is annoying. Could've been worse, it's just a bit more mediocre than the lib art culture it makes fun of throughout the whole book

>>24742396Kurt Weil and Brecht wrote the Three Penny Opera (based on John Gay's 18th c Beggars Opera) and Mack the Knife's originally a song from it
>>24741857Some auf Deutsch but mostly in English; Mother Courage is a good play, and Galileo's a good radio play-- for two instances. I like Artaud, but Brecht's pristine clarity is uncommon among the writers of his time
>>24741857His poetry gets an occasional boost from the inherent imagery of the German language but most of it is still tepid and reductive and all of it is cloying nonsense. Even the rare good one leaves me feeling cheaply manipulated as in the effect of a pop song.
>>24743125Ah. I knew this and forgot.
>>24743148>boost from the inherent imageryDislike his politics all you want, but don't make as if his opting for some words over others is somehow accidental; or do so with the codicil that 'such is the case' with absolutely every German poet
Why does /lit/ not talk about her more? I think if she were a man then she would be talked about more on /lit/.

>>24743614>It seemed like it could have been an interesting discussionI think I got this.Both Hal and Singer exist primarily to fulfill roles for the people around them and beyond that role, they don't really exist. This starts out as enough for them, they have something which makes the isolation bearable. but they lose those things and realize that it was never what they thought it was, it was a surrogate, a cope. The secondary characters are used to elaborate and explore it in more depth, they are complicit but also victims of the same thing. Hal even ends up unable to speak but he never really spoke in the first place, he just said what was expected, the few time he actually attempts to communicate, no one understands him even if they can understand the words he is speaking. I think there may actually be a great deal in common between them but it has been awhile since I have read either, the biggest difference being that Carson was more interested in the effect, DFW the cause. Think I might reread them in the near future.
I have read almost all of the relevant texts of Vedantic metaphysics and ethics and many of the most relevant texts from the other schools of Hinduism.All of the books that I read fail to address the necessity of grace. The weakness of mankind refutes Hinduism.>This is what I told you in the beginning, that it is in our power either to sin or not to sin, and to stretch out our hand to either good or evil, in order that free will may be preserved; but this is because of the manner and time and condition of human weakness. I also said that the perpetuity of sinlessness is reserved for God alone and for Him, who, as the Word made flesh, was not subject to sin and the defects of the flesh. But just because I can avoid sin briefly does not mean that I can do it continually. I can fast, pray, walk, read, sing, sit, sleep; but can I do these things continually?
>>24740410Sin is a word for the way in which man is separate from God/perfection. Then perfection, the ideal version of man's reality includes apparent separation from itself, which allows adversity/evil. This is both apparent in every moment and in the story of when God was embodied as a man.

>>24740259Virtue is in our power through the grace of God.
All paths lead to the same place if you walk them far enough, OP. You are getting sidetracked by useless theological debates that serve no purpose to your personal journey. This is because you’ve consumed too much religious content from YouTubers who realized conflict is a good way to get views.

Is it true that writing as a job is a one-way ticket to the poorhouse? How much do published authors make, anyway?Okay, assume I'm an average chicklit writer (this ensures my books actually sell) and I release a book every three years, and each book sells 10k physical copies and 20k digital copies. How much money would I make?What if I take writing seriously™ and I only sell like 2k copies of my magnum opus? I make at least $20k, right?
>>24741719neat, thanks>>24741579I would suggest paying someone
For a career, my father wrote pop-psy crossed with self-help. The pay was workable, but not good, I think. (I was young and have never been interested in either his writing or finances, but I still think this could be a useful perspective.) He had had a TV-series or two (of his own) and began appearing in the news for "analysis" and on celeb shows and such. After that took off, it was decent, or probably actually good. Real-wage-tier, but relied a fair amount on his HR wife for their upper-middle-class living and lifestyle. He wrote some fiction. It flopped, as I understand it. Was nada. He then got to partner with a true best-selling slop author, and that collab brought in real money. Beyond "made it", like. He continued writing fiction, and as I understand it, that's basically back at semi-flopping whatever, though with near-guaranteed publishing deals.What I'm saying is: You can write in a genre and style optimized for sales and public appeal. You can build a personality and become a third-tier national celebrity, of the kind that's invited to highly watched TV programs. You can become a known personality with an ouvre. You'll still scrape the gutters for entry-level cash without some connection to fix it for you. And he was lucky, real lucky, to even get to that entry-level point, even as the networker he was. Extremely lucky. And, well, I don't want to talk ill of family or risk exposing me/him or anything, but he has what might be called professional assets and strengths, both inherent and acquired that you don't and (hopefully) won't have.I don't know about the numbers you give. But you'll fail, almost assuredly. The only route is the cliche one -- write if you want. If you get lucky and you can, then sure, exploit your writing for profit, but assume that's not happening.
>>24743787I was going to write more about the early period but chose not to for brevity (and interest), but I see that makes the story sound hopeful. So I'll only add that the first decade+ (maybe two decades) was a complete grind for him, an absolute hustle, taking every related gig, which estranged him from all family. And that was with another job, which now that I think about it he told me was what actually brought in the money. So disregard the workable/good wages I mentioned, that was for other stuff. Writing is FUCKED as work, don't do it. Or I don't know your life, maybe you inherited a renovated farm and you can live off of a dozen furry erotica patrons.
>>24741420Honestly why not just get a part time job at this point? You'll probably make more and you'll still have plenty of time to write.
>>24741719So if you travel to do these, wouldn't that cost more than what you earn for one?
