You can use either of these:
> What does he want?
> What does she want?

The second is usually reserved for when there is reason to believe the subject to be a woman.

When people say "a women". Women is PLURAL. You're supposed to say "a woman".
"This women" THESE WOMEN YOU MEAN, or perhaps "THIS WOMAN"?!?

ESLs often fail to distinguish between definite and indefinite articles, with the use of 'a' in place of 'the' being especially common

This is far from useless. It's the last remnant showing there is a subjonctive mood in English.

I can see it now. Something titled like "I Will Become An SSS-Pull In My Favorite Gacha Game". However he is ugly as sin and everyone is model-like in beauty. The economy runs off dozens of stupid types of currencies that you get for daily tasks that are tedious to do. I don't play gacha games but I am sure someone could cook up something truly awful.

Can you not post like you're a fucking retard for one moment?

I guess the common sense answer is you should read it if you are interested in Hitler's understanding of German history and the ideological roots of Nazism. It's from the horse's mouth. But I think you'll get more out of reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, at least up to about page 200. It sketches the intellectual/historical antecedents that formed his mind adequately.

I'd recommend the Evans trilogy over that personally

are there any pros to using scrivener over something simpler like word or google docs?

>>24646441
Scrivener tries to be more than a word processor and feels bloated for it. It wants to be an outlining tool, it wants to help you organize research notes as "subdocuments", it even wants to be version control software for editing and revising. The UI for Scrivener basically forces you to incorporate it into your writing process at every stage. I don't care for it, because I've been writing for a long time and already have well established methods for doing these things. Plus, I don't like being locked into a specific software suite for these things.

The brawl scene was a little short and undetailed. I like your short paragraphs and generally your writing is professional. I found one or two grammar mistakes, but overall high-quality.

Burgers of Ass
They all say it’s terminal
No smarts, wit, or sass
Just a fat retard, virginal

He never had a first kiss
Or a date to the prom,
So he roleplays with bots
That all talk like his mom

Watch him spam this thread
Like a frantic freak tard
He’s losing his head
Attached to 500 pounds of lard

>>24646635
Work on your scanning retard

>>24646639
He emerged pale and sickly
Face full of fat flesh
His words stumbled thickly
From lips greasy, grime fresh

He has not the brain
To retort with mirrored vigor
So stay the fuck in your lane
You fat retarded nigger

If you go back and read that discussion I never said a thing about education in classical antiquity. Some retard brought that up and derailed the discussion. Neither "classics/classical studies" nor "a classical education" means "education in classical antiquity". I've already pointed this out like 10 times and you keep talking about it.

>>24646373
That's also what the Latin Wikipedia uses, so yeah you can probably get away with it.

forget the classics, what are some interesting Medieval Latin and Neo-Latin texts to read?

>>24646636
tried to read some Dante, the Latin is nice but got filtered by too much Aristotelian terminology, can't escape the Greeks

There is no advice for you there, you can't become a good writer by imitating the words of Stephen King.

You can't copy anyone else, you have to be yourself.

Didn't Elliot give up on shooting a dorm/party because the door was locked or a Chad told him to fuck off?

THe door was locked and he left. The only thing he succeeded in doing was killing his two Chinese roommates.

>>24645039
>Elliot was an incel midwit who had lost all hope
He was an autistic sociopath, he actually wrote pretty well. Elliot's was a more entertaining read, it's actually laugh out loud funny, but really no redeeming qualities so I'm not going to encourage anyone to read him. Probably should only read people who are good

>>24646159
You should read the rest. Its really good.

>zoom zooms wont remember this, but there was actually a time when the atheist movement was understandable, perhaps even needed. after 9/11 bushist america was in jesus-frenzy and as recently as the early 2010s, there were vast areas of america were christianity was not only the norm, but also the expection and atheists were unironically persecuted or at the very least ostricized.
New Atheism was at its core a reaction to the GWB Presidency. Younger people don't remember the not-so-good old days when schools in some Southern states earnestly tried to ban the teaching of evolution because it was seen as un-Biblical. Nowadays it's widely accepted on the right because it provides grounding for Racism. New Atheism itself split into the proto-Alt Right and into Wokeness due to arguments over Feminism.

you're reading what you want to into it. the depictions are not only much more varied (american culture isnt portrayed as uniformly shallow, and as nabokov has said poshlust can be found everywhere, not just america) but the depictions are colored by HH enough that its less a commentary on america and more on HH.
>Humbert, in his European pretentious "culture" is in the end no better though
why cant that be just Humbert. why do you need to connect that to being European. do characters have to be symbols for cultures for you?
>The idealized Europe of his youth that he imagines literally doesn't even exist anymore, it's in rubble.
if europe stood for some larger idealized past, the failed marriage in france wouldn't be included. youre simplifying the narrative by imposing symbolic intent on it.
>He's constantly recognizing and showing interest in other children, and he's chasing his idealized "nymphet" of which Dolores is just his favorite outlet for.
even in the end when he kills a guy while not being attracted to her? surely just the fact that we're reading the manuscript is proof that it wasn't just lust.

>>24645055
I'm not saying it's one or the other, I'm not saying this is the only meaning of the book and I'm not even saying it's the most important or prominent theme of it. The characters are the characters and yes you're right some of what I'm saying is an oversimplification for the purpose of summarizing the point. Nabakov is too great and nuanced as a writer to write a 2-D allegory, but he's such a great writer that themes that lesser writers would ham-fistedly hammer into the reader, Nabakov can touch on lightly and with more nuance

>>24645094
but what is being said then? about culture

NTA but the clearest statement imo is just demonstrating the way in which America's infancy (or pubescence) being taken advantage of those capable of understanding the superficiality of consumerism, in this case the old world Europeans, which is a reflection of the way Humbert can take advantage of Charlotte or Dolores with bribes or the concept of being a housewife to indulge into homemaking and home improvement as some sort of surrogate activity that keeps them happy. Perhaps not just a statement of Europe entirely, but a demonstration of this dynamic between the knowing and the unknowing. The experienced and inexperienced.

Yes, they reproduce with other races. Elven genes just dominate the other races. Their gene is indicated with A.

Offspring:
Human male (XY) + elf female (XA) =

I'm planning on having my ultimate villain be a cosmic entity of insanity and corruption, born from a flaw in the formation of reality, that wants to ultimately corrupt and/or destroy all of reality (no one is 100% sure, maybe not even it), that can only twist and copy what already exists instead of making anything new. The problem is, they can't manifest in the physical world reliably, so they need servants to do their dark work, and I'm trying to think of different types that can be led by a commander that answers directly to the entity, like an archmage driven made by its power commanding other mad mages, etc., and I could use some ideas on other types, like maybe a lich for the undead that serve the entity, (but not orcs, they’re just a normal race) do you have any suggestions please?

Where does the gold come from? Do random alchemists make it or is it only made by a specific organization? Do they stamp some kind of insignia on the gold?

In The Jackal Among Snakes they use something called Rose-gold. It was created by the Order of the Rose hundreds of years ago. The organization has disappeared by now and the coins have become very valuable.

tl;dr if you want people to understand your coins are still related to gold then the name has to mention it. Make it X-gold.
