women scare me
>>24732567I'm writing a true crime YA novel from the perspective of a werewolf tamed by a the love of a feminist.
>>24734830Apparently when American Indians kidnapped pilgrim settler women, and the pilgrims went to rescue them, they didn't want to be rescued. You can actually watch those central asian bride kidnapping videos and see the process play out in real time. The girl is sobbing, sobbing....then the wedding happens and right before the ceremony she's suddenly all normal and happy. I wonder how the smarter ones feel about the fact that they have a stockholm syndrome switch that goes off when they're properly dominated, and they come to accept and internalize it. It's why I understand them somewhat being freaked out at even the most milquetoast expressions of conservative gender roles or religiosity, they intuitively know how narrow a knife's edge their psychological freedom actually rests.

>>24738091Yes, you're also retarded.
If you had to recommend a sincere, no-nonsense, in-depth, unfrilled, bullshit-free realistic depiction of the concept of love between a man and a woman to a young teenage male via the form of a story, what would you recommend?I'm looking for human condition tier shit here, something to dispell the illusory mysticsm of "romantic love" something sobering.
You won't dispell anything, hormones are stronger than words.

>>24737597I'm fanfic anon. For clarity, it wouldn't be rehashing scenes just from the knight's POV. It would branch off into their own story/arc. I think I might just write up the first chapter this weekend. Won't post again until I have something to show for (I promise, I'll be out before Winds). At the very least the thread can have something to dunk on if it's bland/slop.
Dany's house with the red door made me think of my house with the red door. A life that's long gone.

Ahem, Jory's death and Ned's crippling is better in the book than the show. I have spoken.

>>24738068Hmmm.
>>24738077>there's only so much bacon the world needs! so stop stuffing your face and give me a manatransport!What is wrong with this character? Why would she compare fat women to pigs? That's rude and unbecoming of a hero.
>>24738092Fuck. Well thanks for pointing it out. I must have fat fingered it or something while editing. There will probably be other little errors like that. I'll fix it.
>>24738068>pages are letter-sizedYou're hurting me, Wallace. Shrink that down to 6x9in or 5.5x8.5in and you'll be okay; it's easier to read if you don't have too many characters on a line, and 50-70 will probably look good/right for a novel. And if you want another tip, remove the extra line between paragraphs. But...>uses Google DocsThere's no good way for you to get automatic hyphenation, which is more important when the lines are shorter since there are fewer spaces between words for the renderer to modulate to get each line to fit. Something like Microsoft Word supports it, and there are better pieces of software for rendering text.For examples of hyphenation or the lack of it:Look at the line that starts with "Hey!" here >>24738077, and see how "hammered" is split at the end.In the image here >>24733699 you see what happens if there are too few letters on a line and the spacing gets really wide; words like "Something" and "completely" would be split to fix this.Pic related shows an example too.
>>24738107This is very helpful. Thank you.
Anyone read this yet? What did you think about it?
>>24736376It's out on the 23rd and I don't think anyone with an ARC for this book is on 4chan.some things I gathered from articles>"I at no point thought Biden couldn't serve his duties as president, I just thought it was irresponsible to run for re-election">"He was 80+ years old and got tired"this is the obligatory lie she has to tell to avoid getting into legal trouble for elder abuse>Gavin Newsom was her first choice for VP but he ghosted her by saying "sorry I'm hiking right now">she didn't want Shapiro because he was too ambitious and apparently he started asking her about art installations in Philadelphia>she didn't pick Pete because he was gay and didn't think a double diversity ticket would fly>she goes pretty scorched earth on Biden's staffers, blaming them for just about everything>she had to practice for speeches by making animal noisesthere are some other funny anecdotes but this is what I remember
>>24736376Does she talk about getting photographed making out with a married man old enough to be her dad because he could advance her career?
>>24736403it’s so fucking over for the Democrats it’s not even funny anymore… this is just sad now.

As a whole, web novels are infamous for content sprawl and pacing issues. If you enjoy having millions of words to sink your teeth into to get to know the world and characters, though, you may be interested. Keeping up with other readers on a weekly basis to discuss the story's events unfolding is another perk, in the same way discussing an ongoing TV show might be.>Why write web novels?Ease of access & potential for Patreon earnings. Many successful authors gain an audience on their website of choice and funnel their readers into a Patreon.

what are some of the Kaiju plots you have come across in web novels
>>24737645>not smart so I can't write some explanations that hang on being realistic on why ugly people are evil or how certain looks denote certain personalities etc.>see physiognomy or face reading pseudoscience as I browse the net>basically bullshit my way with this as an explanationngl it is fun to write lies as truths in fiction.

Belief has underwent the following pattern:Polytheism->Monotheism->Pantheism->Atheism->NihilismHow is it going to end? Or have we reached the end? Is there any going back at this point?
>>24738004Grow up mate
>>24737893Those are all superficial expressions. We have all always worshipped the monad
>>24737983you mean ockham's nominalism, right? you can thank divine command theory and other heresies for throwing out aristotelian metaphysics (which the Catholic Church still uses)
>>24738034Then you didn't understand.
>>24737980Every boomer thinks civilisation is about to collapse. The fact remains that it only collapsed for real after the Christfags took over.
What are some books that explain this problem.
>>24732566>crony capitalism is a cope by brainwashed americans to explain away the fact that capitalist institutions are always intertwined with state institutionsThat's not what they are you drooling retard. They're not suppose to be intertwined with the state. The point is that they compete with each other and survive or die purely by merit, not by leeching off the state/tax payer. You people fucking deserve to get raped by the government.

please tell me if Ferdinand celine is full of shit or not. never read him but I feel like he's overrated and shouldn't be studied like Houellebecq
I want to know if hes full of shit
>>24737789>I feel like he's overratedno he's the real deal. read it or get filtered (probably better in french tho, shame you're monolingual)
>>24737789>full of shitquite the opposite. less full of shit, in fact, than almost anyone in the 20th century>overratedno. He may be celebrated by some but he's also been earmarked as a literary pariah, a dangerous writer to bring up and discuss. People often feel the need to "separate the art from the artist" when he comes up. In Celine's case I find that impossible. Antisemitism seemed to emerge from his general worldview, its not some inexplicable tragic abberation that popped out of nowhere - and some of his novels are explicitly antisemitic. But the controversy does add to his mystique, to be fair>shouldn't be studied like Houellebecqthat's possible, I suppose. it's also possible that you can't fully understand Houellebecq without studying Celine. And even if Celine is less nuanced in certain respects, his prose style is worth examination, that is well beyond doubt
>>24738057do you have an example of his prose?
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?
>>24736418>The weakness of mankind refutes Hinduism.lmao, this is the worst argument against Hinpooism I've ever seen. They can just take your "Original Sin" cope and easily reword it into their Mayaic world-debasing framework.
>>24737275patanjali's yoga also posits grace as necessary afaik. denial of grace is just pelagianism, crypto-buddhism
>>24737304> denial of grace is just pelagianism, crypto-buddhismNo, the primary Upanishads don’t present grace as important at all, there are only 1 or 2 passages which are questionable; instead they present liberation through knowledge, or vidya, as being the primary teaching of the Upanishads, this is conceded even by Vaishnava theist Vedantins who just say the liberating knowledge refers to continuous meditation on Brahman. Since the primary Upanishads dont present grace as important or necessary, a denial of the need for grace can hardly be considered a move from Hinduism into Buddhism since grace isn’t taught to be central in the main scripture of Hinduism.Hinduism doesn’t teach original sin but they dont say that people are neutral either, rather each person’s propensities are influenced by the karma from past lives both in a positive and negative way, i.e. some people will be driven to mostly bad conduct because of past lives and/or a current lack of insight etc until that karma is worker out.
>>24737275>prescribe practices that address and curtail the same human flaws that grace is supposed to help people overcomeNatural practices cannot cure supernatural vice.
>>24736418The main reason I don't like Hinduism is the same reason I don't like Evola - the only people who post about it are schizo-retardo /pol/tards who shit up the board.

This was recommended by /lit/. I'm almost done reading it and I think this book has at least 5 or 6 typos, the most of any book I've read so far this year. How does that happen
>>24737696NTA but isn't Hamilton a well established Platonist? Also, any recs on greek mythology other than the OP
>>24737696This book is a classic, but in the age of wikipedia, I don't know if these types of books are that helpful anymore.
>>24737450it was written by a woman
>>24737696That woman was fluent in Greek and Latin. She read all the classics in the original language before you read them in translation.>>24737951It a quick read, good as a summarization of all the major gods and stories before you read the originals or a serious mythology textbook. But she's opinionated and it should not be taken as authoritative.
>>24737450Edith Hamilton's Mythology is OK. I honestly think Bernard Evslin and Gustav Schwab are better writers who do 'modern' adaptations of Greek mythology, likewise Kevin Crossley-Holland does a much better job writing about Norse mythology than Hamilton (and Neil Gaiman).
What are the highlights of his bibliography? I read Whatever when I was 16 and really enjoyed but haven't gone back to him since. He seems like one of the last interesting writers left alive after we lost Bolaño and McCarthy, although I am not comparing him to them
>>24737954The Elementary Particles is a must-read so start there. The Possibility of an Island is good, a sort of continuation of the major theme in The Elementary Particles. The Map and the Territory is his most polished work. Platform is simultaneously smut, comedy, and prophecy that you'll either hate or love. As for everything else, just pick at random, it's all worth reading in my opinion just to see how his ideas have evolved over time.
>>24738036Just read up about The Map and the Territory. That sounds great so I'll definitely check that one out
>>24738050Good choice. For the record, The Elementary Particles is a lot closer to Whatever in style and themes. The Map and the Territory will feel like it was written by a different author. But still a good choice.
>>24738060Well it's been six years since I read Whatever so my memory of it's style is distant to me now so I think I'll be able to slide into Map comfortably enough

If someone intends to do good but causes harm, are they morally guilty?
>>24735426What the fuck are you on about
>>24735348Deontologically no. Consequentially yes. Analytically unanswerable because the question is meaningless.
Moral indignation is envy with a halo and literally all questions of morality go back to the Golden Rule. I'm actually surprised people still bother with it in 2025.
>>24735897You can be judged guilty by your social peers without the need for legal process. And you can feel guilty and condemn yourself for the consequences of your action (as you should, for your retarded post.)
>>24737221Nope. Any society has rules. Those who break them show a disregard for society.Despite the profusion of edgelords posting on /lit/, humans remain social animals with a profound interest in social cohesion.
