Which girl is best built for BSC? (Big Summer-Islander Cock). I'm thinking Dany and especially Mel. Moqorro probably gaped her back in Asshai
>>24828265Dany, Val, and Cersie.
>>24828267True. I forgot about Val, she's perfect for it. Cersei would also be open to interracial since she had sex with that hot brown milf. The only highlight of her crappy chapters.
Why does Anonymous think about black cock unprompted?
>>24828100House words are a cool idea, fuck you.
I dont understand the sense in becoming the ubermensch. What is the point of creating great art if some whiny left liberal is going to vandalize it 200 years later. What is the point of creating great buildings and castles if some niggers and refugees are going to live their as parasites. What is the point of shaping the world to your will if some jew is going subvert all of that to his vision and take the final credit?Women will keep woming. Niggers will keeping nigging. Jews will keep jewing.
>>24828182yes, exactly. "i'm actually better than you because in my own eyes i possess the invented pseudo-virtue of 'non-edginess'." thank you for the example.
>>24828195you are neither, as we've established already. you are a spiritual nigger.

>>24828291I just got a 4 volume one from the 1760s and in great condition for 80 bucks. Gotta go on second hand websites
>>24827526As a black anon, theres too many K's..it frightens me.
>>24826698This guy is a bit of a fag but he’s got the right idea conceptually, eg. English is not really served by the latin alphabet since it has so many sounds better expressed in the runic one (guess why). A lot of annoyances in english bizarro spelling go away if you also eliminate some superfluous letters.https://youtube.com/watch?v=4npuVmGxXuk
>>24828291Brother you can pick them up for 10 bucks. Not everything old is worth something. If you learn latin you can really score because there’s a shit ton of them (latin being the language of the educated for about 2000 years including the heyday of early printing) and nobody to read them. Vellum enclosed copies can be 50-100 bucks. It’s fun to own an artifact. Check out auction sites.

Edit your work for spelling and grammar before posting.Violent shills, AI jeets, relentless shill-spammers, and grounds keeping prose should be ignored and reported.
>>24828111It depends on your audience, but I generally do what you say. I find that putting in one solid detail is enough to keep the rhythm. So if you just mentioned the heartiness of the fireplace, that should imply people chatting and laughing, the food and drink, the music, etc.
>>24813721Partly why I don't litter my writing with em dashes is because it's so easy to do so.
>>24828111I think this is all very sound advice. Even if it's not eternal dogmatic truth, it will lead to better writing than trying to force prose into a sort of VR experience that invites readers into your beautiful mind palace. Amateur writing always feels like a desperate attempt to communicate 'the movie in your head', instead of focusing on the words on the page. But!>I've read far too much prose that made me think "can we move on already?" This is especially true with older novels.I think older novels are the exception to what you're saying (as long as you can project yourself into the context of the people who originally read them). The literary theorist Frederic Jameson talks about a Balzac story that begins with a lengthy, detailed description of a nice house - no characters, no plot, just house facts. He makes the point that, today, a similar description would usually be given only through a character's eyes, as a description of what the house means to them emotionally, what memories it recalls. But in the early 19thC when Balzac was writing (says Jameson), because society was more coherent and communal, and people's experiences and desires more similar, it was as if that description already *was* being filtered through a character's eyes - the eyes of the collective consciousness of French middle-class society. They were all on the same page, and when Balzac fantasises about a neat garden or a cosy kitchen or whatever, his readers would have shared in the fantasy, felt the words evoke the same desires, and recalled the same struggles for prosperity in the recent past of their society. Whereas today, if a /wg/ anon gives us lengthy paragraphs of scene description, the raindrops dripping from the trees etc., it feels as remote from us as if they were describing the different varieties of half-elf in their private worldbuilding project.
>>24828112You're telling stories to someone who can't see what you see, trying to convey what you experience through multiple senses solely by language.
Is there any reason not to name your chapters?The pros from the top of my head:>Makes it easier to remember what happens in each chapter>Gives them more flavor and personality>Makes the reader more excited to read moreAnd for the cons:>Might spoil something>Coming up with names is kinda hard (but not really)
A dark soul is a phenomenon of a person slowly but meticulously destroying themselves, both physically and spiritually. Living in the edges of extreme narcissism, paranoia, schizophrenia, they are the most unstable individuals ever to exist.You can actually see them in your day to day life. Your coworker, boss, wife-husband, your parents. Not comprehending basic functioning, slowly filling themselves with so much hate that they can't function like a regular human being anymore. Auditory Processing Disorder for example.They may continue living, existing, but it is a hollow existence. A life devoid of meaning, substance or essence of anything good. So far away from humanity, that one may even argue they might be an anomaly in the evolution of humanity.If you are not careful, take life as granted and become a narcissist, you may become hollow.. a dark soul.But if you take on the phenomenon of life as a gift, and try to be a authentic self anon, you may achieve Nirvana perhaps not in this form of existence but who knows when. Only thing sure is that you will achieve it, whereas in a dark soul will never achieve it. They are lost in the Samsara, lost in the absurdity of the existence.
AI garbage
Literally me.
I listen to AI generated audiobooks and you can't stop me
>>24827635haha OP I love froggo XD
I've never attempted to stop someone from self-harming, not sure why I would start trying now.
do you generate them yourself?what do you use?
>>24828341Audible is overrun with this slop now and it ms genuinely unlistenable trash. They just want to claim to be doing something for the ai investment fags.
Why are women and gay men drawn to books?
men have taken to video games instead
>>24826676like why do you need to deface the book like this in order to understand it?
>>24826826That's just intelligent people in general though. Ignorance truly is bliss in this life.
>>24828062and chinese drawing pornography
i am a man and i like lifting weights and cooking and fighting and reading Vampire Hunter D and Conan the Barbarian
Are there any /lit/ discord servers that are worth joining? I'd like to be part of a community but I can't find a place that fits me.Spanish servers are also welcomed!!
No.>I can't find a place that fits meof course not.
>>24828338They’re either dominated by women or lefties of the perpetually offended type so if you like it here there’s no place for you on Discord. You can make a game of how long you can pretend to be a useless cuck with no opinions before getting banned I suppose. Didn’t you just loooove goonerfantasy entry #6 anon? Oh my gosh!!! THAT part!

When I'm at home, I literally have the urge to pee about every ~75 minutes or so, it's incredibly annoying. Is this some kind of sickness? A side effect of my medicine? What's going on?
>>24828310I do too but it's because I drink a fuck ton of water. For you it's probably diabetes.
>>24828310I'd recommend visiting a urologist.
>>24828310If you jerk off too much, the prostate can become irritated, leading you to being unable to void your bladder properly, and so it always remains sort of half-full. Ez. Or you're old. Or you have prostate cancer.
>>24828322>If you jerk off too much, the prostate can become irritated, leading you to being unable to void your bladder properly,This is complete bullshit.
Now that we've all had time to read it, what do we think of it?
>>24827380I understand that you're full of shit
>>24827371>We, as a species, are doing more important things right nowMasturbation and doom scrolling?
>>24827745Adapting to one of the roughest paradigm shifts in our existence thus far.I am positive great literature is being written now, but its relevance might not be presently detectable.
>>24827924>unironically using "paradigm shift"kys
>>24827745My own initial response may interest you (which I opted not to post yesterday). It was: What? Wandering around aimless and angry?What's interesting is that the tendency of my imagination (my knee-jerk reaction) was to place its response outside the bedroom/office situation, whereas yours keeps there. I knew immediately that I must be older than you, probably by at least a decade.
Is it worth reading Neuromancer?
>>24828156you should read the entire trilogy. i personally preferred count zero for the cool mercenaries with handheld lasers. read johnny menmonic first to tell if you're interested.
>>24828156Yes, just don't go into it expecting realism or hard sci-fi (obviously). Gibson admitted he knew nothing about technology or computers when writing the thing. But its well written.Also recommend the Cyberpunk 2077 game if you are into cyberpunk as a genre.
i found it pretty stupid but it was kinda fun still
>>24828156I got filtered by the prose.
「……擬似体験って、どういうことです?」「だから、奥さんも娘も離婚も浮気も全部偽物の記憶で夢のようなものなんです。あなたは何者かに利用されて、政府関係者にゴーストハックを仕掛けてたんですよ。」「そんな、まさか?」「あんたのアパートに行ってきた。誰もいやしない。独(ひと)りもんの部屋だ」「だから、あの部屋は別居の為に借りたアパートで……」「あんたあの部屋でもう10年も暮らしてるんだ。奥さんも子供もいやしない、あんたの頭の中だけに存在する家族なんだ」「ごらんなさい。あなたが同僚に見せようとした写真だ。誰が写ってます?」「確かに写ってたんだ……俺の娘……まるで天使みたいに笑って……」「その娘さんの名前は?奥さんとはいつ何処で知り合い何年前に結婚しました?そこに写ってるのは、誰と誰です?」
>invents the field of psychology>figures it all out in like 20 years>drops blackpills on human nature and civilization itself>everyone who came after is just trying to cope and desperately prove him wrong
>>24828237OP wants to sleep with his mother. Or rather, He has.
Freud wanted people to try and prove him wrong because he wanted the field to be taken more like a science
>>24828290he's also slept with yours
>>24828333I guess hes into necrophilia too, no wonder why he likes Freud.
subconscious psychology was merely underestimated during height of cartesian dualism. it was already a topic in antiquity.Lancelot Whyte explains this.
What are some fem KINO books?
>>24826212it's in book 3
>>24820618Did they just copy "the ancient magus' bride"?
>>24820618do you monkey retards ever tire of bitching and moaning about things women do? it’s never ending. every month or so i return to this board and every single time without fail there is some fag seething about this shit. if you spent half the time you spend crying about women’s erotica actually reading /lit/ would be an army of geniuses.
>>24820618Watanare
>>24828193Accept incels, troons and gays are obsessed with women.
It's a shame the west had that whole anti-gay period, because we were denied our own version of the great mirror of male love. The west has a huge lacking in gay stuff from the early modern period because of the old superstitions.What do you think it would have been like?
>>24827205curiously* address* typed too fast haha :)
>>24826999Jew
>>24826999It's the opposite actually
>>24823593>pro homosex Its da Jooz>anti-homosexIts da jooz. You niggers are retarded.
>>24823588Golden shower?
Why is it so underrated on /lit/? Is it the simple and profoundly sad answer that most /lit/ dwellers have never experienced love?
>>24827999This is true.
>>24825220It's slower than reading Dune Messiah and 3 volumes...I could understand if I felt anything but boredom. I told my English Lit teacher this and she kicked me out of the classroom. Just for me to come back the next day because our headmaster told her, "Expressing ones opinion over a book is what you are supposed to do. If he thought it was boring, who is to say he was wrong."
>>24827757Don't know about books, but there are romantic comedies like Notting Hill, that Jlo/Owen Wilson movie, that Seth rogen/Charlize Theron movie. I think the Seth Rogen movie may have even been targeted at men. I assume there are romance books like this, but I wouldn't know them. I can understand the sentiment. Women's greatest asset is our looks and we're inundated with examples of otherwise useless women being valued because they're pretty. Men's greatest asset is their finances and we're inundated with examples of ugly, horrible but rich men with beautiful women. And it's probably a grass is greener situation on both sides. To me it seems like almost no woman wants a Donald Trump but every man wants a Melania. To a man it probably seems the other way around.
>>24828224>Women's greatest asset is our looks and we're inundated with examples of otherwise useless women being valued because they're prettyI understand this, the looks vs money transaction. But the Twilights and the 50 Shades of Greys have average Jane female leads, seemingly put there as self inserts (okay so Kristen Stewart is beautiful but you get the idea). It's also just easier for you to eat less and put on makeup than it is for me to become a wealthy socialite.>And it's probably a grass is greener situation on both sidesPossibly. But the other answer to the question (of why men don't consume romance stories) is that men just don't love, and that's not true, we love deeply. So I'd rather believe that most romances are just not targetted at men.And for the record I think most men definitely do NOT want a Melania. Thanks for the recs.
>>24827213The problem with trying to state what Emily Brontë was like is that there's very little known about her (and what's known is coloured by Charlottes and subsequent biographers mythologising). But from what I've read, she didn't cry a lot, spent plenty of time sleeping alone (her sisters were frequently away for school and work) and while possibly eccentric, was certainly not a 'basket case'. I've also never heard of her writing 'eyebrow-raising stuff' about her brother — could you post an example?
