Today I learned normies completely hand write books for each other. This is metal illness.
>>24771585mental*
>>24771585Thank you for reposting this attention whoring social media post here.
>>24771585I want to fuck this guy's wife in front of him and post it on the subreddit
>>24771585I wiped
>>24771587no you were right the first time, probably lead exposure, or aluminum her in antiperspirant
>>24771585I don't know if anybody has said this before but I think Reddit is pretty lame and the people that use it suck.
>>24771585This looks genuinely irritating to read
>>24771585>My wife hand wrote me a book about the utter deficiency of men in the world and how only impotent men die in stupidity married to younger women.Yeah…. Did you get her message?
>>24771625>The rifle would chost half minute of angle groupo.
>>24771585I wouldn't read NCfOM handwritten myself but it's sweet that she did that. Women do plenty of awful things but I don't have it within me to condemn this.
>>24771646ohoot
>>24771585If a woman hand wrote my favorite book for me, I would have to marry her if we weren't already, and if we were already married, I'd have to impregnate her posthaste.
>>24771620explain yourself
>>24771654And then and then and then
>>24771696It's just a feeling I specifically have and haven't come across anybody else that shares the sentiment.
>>24771585this is a cute souvenir. stop being jaded
>>24771887I guess it's the thought that counts, but what if your wife's thoughts are fucking insane? Thank the lord bro wasn't into Proust. Although at least that has romantic elements. Fucking Cormac?
>>24771887It is lameI am not jaded.
>>24771903>2026>visiting your wife in the looney bin>walk into her padded cell>walls are sprawled with the words ye, tortilla, and, spit
>>24771585Cute
>>24771585This made me realize I have a shitty gf. She barely gets the motivation to cook me dinner
>>24771887It doesn't seem like a book that lens itself to being handwritten especially in feminine handwriting. I could see certain books, like We have Always Lived in the Castle, being boosted by such a format. Nothing this chud is probably reading though. I'm also cynical and suspicious of over the top gestures like this. Whenever I've had them done "for me," they were never for me. They were always intended as demonstrations of how great they are and why I should feel lucky they're interested in me / dating me. When it came to stuff I actually needed or wanted, they were never paying attention.
>>24771585What the fuck is that? Why would somebody waste time to do that? Why would anybody want that as a gift? I'm fucking flabbergasted.
>>24772147Yeah, exactly, it's literally a "look what I was willing to do for you" gift. In my experience, these people wind up being desperate, controlling, and entitled.
I don't get what's so bad about it
>>247721734chan niggers are allergic to sincerity, that's why
>>24772174The problem is precisely its insincerity
>>24772175And how exactly can you deduce that?
Talking about sincerity is inherently insincere. Sincerely, Anonymous
>>24771585Normies don't do this. Mentally ill women do this. That being said, I record audiobooks for my gf because she doesn't read and she loves my voice.
>>24772155It just seems bizarre to me. This isn't a "cute little souvenir"; it's something that must have taken her weeks of daily writing. It's like if my girlfriend copied out Bach's Mass in B minor by hand and gave it to me. I would think, "that's an amazing feat... but what the absolute fuck, and why?" Why not just make something simpler or buy me something I would actually use?It would be easy for someone to turn this into, "look what I did for you, now you owe me closeness, loyalty, attention." I could never reciprocate with something so monotonous and frankly pointless. This kind of one-upping gift giving feels bizarre and insecure to me.>>24772173You must be dumb as a pile of fucking rocks if you don't understand how an insecure partner could use this kind of grand gesture to guilt you or keep emotional leverage.
>>24772178When you're getting a gift for someone you should be thinking of the other person's pleasure and happiness - it should be a selfless thing. But what does this actually do for your partner? What's the utility? It's completely about showing off your devotion. And putting your beloved in the awkward position of having to read a more difficult version of a text to show they 'appreciate' what you did for them
>>24772185These naive dudes would get manipulated in their relationships so bad, lol.
>>24772173>>24772174Case in point:>>24772147>>24772155>>24772183>>24772185
>>24772174>I cut myself for you! That's how much I care about you! I'm being sincere!!How do you respond?
>>24772175>The problem is precisely its insincerityIt's not a question of sincerity or insincerity - it's the sheer amount of time that she has devoted to this token of affection that is causing so many seething cope posts from anon.This board prides itself on being so-called romantic, then anon see a post about a wife who has diligently transcribed by hand every single line of a novel that her husband loves as a gift to him, and these self-styled romantics - who post on a literature board - pretend like it's giving them the ick. They're imploding with envy.
>>24772197>A handmade gift is literally the exactly the same as histrionic demonstration of self-harm. Everyone should just give me gift cards like autists!
>>24772197mutual murder suicide
>>24772199There's also a fundamental aesthetic mismatch. Why do it for this book? If she had printed in GERMAN BLACKLETTER some beautiful poetry by HĂ–LDERLIN that would be one thing... but why a text like this? A book that wasn't even meant to be a book. A MOVIE. It's just a grotesquity. Signals MENTAL DERANGEMENT.
>>24772206>There's also a fundamental aesthetic mismatch.>Signals MENTAL DERANGEMENT.Fucking kek this image is causing more implosions than shitting on burgers for their rabbi snip. You cunts are fukken seething.

>>24772211Finally, a good take in this thread
>>24772183Neurotic post
>>24772211My beloved is Cormac McCarthy.
>>24772197Get overcome with lust and fuck here where she stands
>>24772218>fuck here where she standsdear remove clothe. i love
>>24772173way too much effort for something completely devoid of original thought and creativity
>>24772222Witnessed (chud seethe).
>>24772215Post from someone with no relationship experience.I checked the thread. Guy is being dismissive, but his body sounded the alarm for him.
>>24772229>But I'm totally here for it.
>>24772229I'm not sure if all the anons acting as if she's some psycho manipulator are right, but I feel like the guy instinctively knows that the book is basically worthless. It's a sign of devotion that he has to respect, yet he knows that he'd prefer a normal printed version.It's just weird. I'd understand if she did it 200 years ago, when books were still very valuable, or if she did it to share some banned book, but this serves no purpose at all.
>>24772264She's most likely harmless. Most of us learn the hard way that these types of "thoughtful" gifts actually suck. Kind of weird to learn that lesson when already in a marriage though. The post also said the first "gift" was a bag of empty pens to show how much effort she expended.
>>24771585Medieval monk gf. Now she just needs to make some beer
>>24772264This is more of a bizarre display of affection than a gift. A gift has to be useful or enjoyable to the receiver. You could say the thought counts but what was the thought behind this? I'd be questioning her intelligence based on the amount of time she spent on something pointless. If your partner starts doing weird shit and you turn your brain off to stop analysing it you're in for some problems down the line
>>24772281This man gets it. She'll be extremely helpful when society collapses and good books will be hard to come by.
>>24772288Yeah but women are sensitive to such things. Most men understand to just let women get on with their weird little hobbies. So long as they don't undermine your authority, it is ultimately harmless and at times endearing.
>>24771620Source?
Anons, no matter the practical or monetary value, it is a token of effort and respect from a loved one. That's why OOP appreciates it this much.
>All these posts Holy autism Batman
>>24771887It is cute, but it's also an insane amount of time and effort devoted to something that accomplishes nothing, assuming they already had a copy of NCfOM lying around the house for her to use in the first place. I can't chastise a woman for putting in effort since that's a rarity these days, but it's a real white elephant of a gift
>>24771585I've heard people doing it as a writing excercise. "Copywork" it's called, and it's supposed to improve your writing style.
>>24772353I've heard of this too. Copying an entire book sounds like a waste of time. Well written passages, sure.
having a scribe as a wife is based tho
>>24771845upvoted
>>24772353Copywork is supposed to be for typing specific passages, not handwriting an entire fucking book
>>24772185>you must purchase a commodity, handmade items do not count as gifts Bugmode mentality. It's a very sweet gift.
>>24772634he's right though. this is at best useless and at worst creepy and manipulative. i could fill a notebook with "i love you so much" for my gf, but why would i do that? it's effort expended, but why would she need or want it? it would just be weird.a better gift: get your partner one of their favorite books, read it and write notes, thoughts, anecdotes, memories, trivia in the margins. it would actually be fun to read a book like that with an so. whatever this is won't be fun to read.
Just woke up and im still mad at this shit. I fucking hate redditors with every ounce of my being. I fantasize about someone scooping their eyes out when they are sleeping and waking up panicking
>>24772183I have to guess this is a gender-swapped version of "If a man writes you a few sonnets, he loves you. If he writes you a hundred sonnets, he loves sonnets."
>>24772214They're both fat.
>>24771585ITT: Incels are jealous that they don't have a gf and if they ever do, it will be a former slut who decided to settle down and won't care about them as much as that redditor's wife
.
>>24771585Why that book? Is it his favorite? If yes, he probably already read it and it's a useless gift.Is it the book he always wanted to read, maybe because he's a fan of the film? Then why not buy it for him instead of wasting time and ink on writing it by hand? Shit, at least it's not Child of God or Blood Meridian, but it's still a completely inane gift and some of the anons ITT rightfully call it out as crazy.
that's nothing. my stepdaughter handwrote all of lolita for me
>>24772121It takes two to tango
>>24771585God what a disgusting show. How do these people can stand each other?
>>24772906I dunno maybe women's sex lives should be state regulated
>>24771585Always noticed women seem to always write with a left slant.
Thats kind of deranged if it took place over a short period of timeAlso why for such a poppy book?
>>24772121At least you have a gf. I haven't had one in ten years.
>>24772121what have (you) done for her exactly?
this could be sued as a violation of copyright
>>24771594this is such a keyed post...
>>247732214chan hasn't done anything based in years, I wonder if we could get this bitch sued or arrested.
I think this gift is the litmus test of seeing if people have dated or not.The most hardcore cave dwellers literally can't understand it.
>>24772121dump hershe's useless
>>24773246My exwife got me a perfect version of this. She bought a nice little Field Day-esque notebook and filled each page with the name of a local restaurant and a space for us to write our thoughts on it, so it was motivation for us to go out and do things together and then create a memorable piece of writing to look back through and remember all those memories. OP on the other hand is psychotic.
this sucks. it's useless. if she knitted something that'd be infinitely better.
Why are yanks so anti social?
>>24773302Probably because being social 90% of the time just means doing stupid shit with dumb women
>>24773246Weird, I think it's a litmus test but in the opposite direction. If you think stuff like this is cute, I question whether you've ever had a relationship.
>>24773261That's a great idea. Why is she your ex?
>>24771585I wish I had a gf to share genuine moment of love with.
>>24772215Not an argument. See >>24772192
>>24771585
>>24773328It's this, yes.
>>24773328It's somewhere in between. The OP girl seems a little obsessive in an unhealthy way, but if your girl never made some kind of art or special thing for your birthday, you never really had a girl who was in love with you. You had a pet or a personal escort at best.
>>24773431I haven't had a girlfriend in a decade but every girl I've been with has done something like that for me. Unfortunately they were also gullible and got influenced by their friends to have affairs on me, too. Which led to me breaking it off with them.
>>24773335We couldn’t communicate through our problems (most of that was from my end, I suck)
>>24771585i try my hardest to hate foids but this is kind of cute and endearing ngl
>>24773431yeah, like knitting scarves and making little restaurant passport books is normal, cute, and fun. handwriting out an entire mccarthy book in girly cursive is not. shows lack of judgment.
>>24773463Found another caveman. Don't get into a relationship, bro.
>>24773246>>24773328>>24773421>>24773481
>>24773443also, I beat her ass sometimes
>>24771585What a woman. Wow. What a lucky guy.
Maybe she just got carried away? I've done that with gifts. I start with something, put a lot of time into it, and then it becomes a question of whether I'm stubborn enough to see it through or not.
>>24771585Autopen. . . now.
>>24772178>>24772174You can tell it's not real because the "book" is open to expose far fewer pages than what a real copy (300+ pages) would have.
>>24773778Imagine the handjobs
Women’s handwriting is performative.
>>24771646>half minute of angle groups. Five inch groups at five thousand yards.Is that really what the book says? That's a tenth of an MOA, not half.
>>24771585Great, now do Atlas Shrugged for Christmas, love.
>>24772691>Just woke up and im still mad at this shit. I fucking hate redditors with every ounce of my being. I fantasize about someone scooping their eyes out when they are sleeping and waking up panickingThis anon is actually losing his mind that he'll never have a woman this devoted to him. He's so jealous about it that he woke up angry again.
>>24774025If you don’t wake up angry at redditers you’re probably a redditer
>>24774025nta but this feels like some fake shit made up for updootwho has time to sit down and write an entire book by hand?the fact that it's likely not fake is somehow worseLike bro you could have learned to give better blowjobs, or to make pastries idk something not completely uselessweird ass abnormies
>>24774051I don't wake up angry at redditors because I'm not a newfag.>>24774052>Like bro you could have learned to give better blowjobs, or to make pastries idk something not completely uselessweird ass abnormiesAll this is true, but that's not what anon are really hung up on. Anon is really seething about that level of devotion, and how they haven't experienced it. If anon is waking up angry about this, then the reason is way more personal than muh pledditors.
/lit/ is bitter, jobless and obsessed.
>>24771585>practicing calligraphy anyway ....You don't understand. This is an opportunity for comedy: request she do Madame Bovary for Christmas, Schopenhauer's essays for Valentine's Day, 120 Days of Sodom for their anniversary. In all seriousness— Dad's favorite story in Mom's penmanship will probably mean the most to their children.
>>24771585Shit like this is why I don't leave the house. God forbid somebody did something like this for me. Absolutely insaneJokes aside I did have an artist gf back in the day and some of you are very correct about the loaded gift phenomenon. She just liked painting shit. Painted hats. Painted portraits. Some of them were dope. But she was really doing it to be praised for doing it, not to make me happy. Like you really think I'm gonna wear a hat with bright faggy colors all over it to work? A faggy colorful hat with my name in huge lettering on it? She didn't give me that gift for me to enjoy and use, she was just hoping it would end up on display somewhere in the house. A conversation starter. A reason to talk about herself. A reason to praise her talents.
>>24771585that's not normie behavior anon
>>24774025>being (not even subtly) manipulated>uhm, you're just jealous!!Clearly, you've never been in a relationship, kek.
>>24774493>>Just woke up and im still mad at this shit. I fucking hate redditors with every ounce of my being. I fantasize about someone scooping their eyes out when they are sleeping and waking up panickingThese are not the words of a male who has ever been in a relationship, nor had sex. This is a social retard.
>>24774560I'm not the anon you originally replied to.
>>24774052I had a bit of a skitzo friend that was always falling for cults. He was part of some Turkish religion where you have to rewrite their entire bible by hand. They also had a religious ritual where you involving phone calls to the religious leader and it needs someone from outside the religion to make the call, it was very weird. He was carefully respectfully trying to get me to help them with their ritual.Later he also was getting close to becoming a tranny and everyone was cheering him on. I told him people are excited now, but it will become normal and boring and also that a large number of medical transitioned tranny's kill themselves. He got really angry with me and said he thought we were friends. I told him we are friends and why do you think I'm telling you this?He ended up not transitioning.
>>24774573..? But my comment on that post was the one you were responding to. How am I even meant to respond to this. You've just nonsensically interjected then.
>>24774590I replied to your retarded idea about devotion and jealousy. It's not that difficult to understand.>How am I even meant to respond to thisDon't care.
>>24774671That post was a direct comment on the notion of anon being so angry about this that he literally woke up still angry about it. That was the whole context behind that post you replied to.Just go back to lurking, idiot.
>>24774704>That was the whole context behind that post you replied toNo, it wasn't. Then explain what "he'll never have a woman this devoted to him. He's so jealous" was all about, you retarded fuck.
>>24774708You imbecile, you specifically tagged that post to comment on it.>>24774025>>24774493Fuck you're dumb.
>>24774713Nothing? Alright, I accept your concession, you illiterate fuck.
>>24771620Keep me posted
>>24774719Listen, I'll make it really simple, because you're clearly a simpleton:Have you ever woken up and still been mad at some chan thread you read before sleeping? - No? Me neither. This is a unique form of spergery, which is what I was commenting on specifically. It points to anon being mad about something other than that which he claimed, something more persona, and I contended this was related to some form of jealously (likely in want to experience some inordinate degree of devotion). It's not difficult to understand this. There are probably Somalians smarter than you.
My wife cross stitches bookmarks for me with swastika patterns woven into it. It’s her own hobby but through it she shows little acts of affection to me. It’s nice. She also has a fat, hairy pussy I wish I were eating instead of posting on /lit/.
>>24774728Autist taking everything so literally and seriously right here
>>24774287>Anon is really seething about that level of devotionTotally understand the jealousy, although personally I'd be more worried about getting stabbed in my sleep.
>>24774788>he wasn't angry at all ackshuallyokay bro>>24774815>Totally understand the jealousy,A lot of anon instantly went to ego protect mode over it though.
>>24774824>A lot of anon instantly went to ego protect mode over it though.I have ascended beyond that low level expression of inceldom.
My ex girlfriend would make me bookmarks of cats drawn on them... I'll never forgive myself for taking her for granted and pushing her away with my own selfishness. I wish I was a better, stronger man.
>>24774774This isn't about useful gifts you actually like and use, anon. This is about performative gifts that require all of the effort but none of the thought or practicality. And don't worry about your wife's pussy. I took care of it already.
>>24772211Neck yourself, faggot.
>>24774975Woman-lover detected.
>>24774713>tagged that postSummer’s over, newfriend. It’s time to go back to the 8th grade.

>>24771585maybe the dumbest thing I've ever seen
>>24772197I let the loudest rip I can and go on with my day
>>24771585Handwriting is actually a great way to learn certain works. I've handwritten, added scholia, and done my own translations of parts of Dante, the Dao, and the upper chapters of the Analects. It is insane to handwrite McCormac novels, thoughbeit.
>>24774728I understood everything the first time, you absolute fool. I don't give a shit about what that anon said. Literally the only word I'm disputing in YOUR post is "devotion". What the woman in OP's pic is showing isn't a form of devotion, it's manipulation and it's plain to see for everyone who isn't a complete and utter buffoon. That anon cannot be jealous that way because it isn't devotion. Your use of language was very loose and naive. I hope you understand now, you fucking despicable cretin.
>>24771620Honestly, I never thought of it that way
If this is the make ragebait for incels thread, my girlfriend and I gift each other books with codes in them. It started simple with words underlined in pencil throughout the book. Last time she figured out that the numbers that showed up in the url of her browser homepage reffered to page numbers where the first word of those pages spelled out a message.I received atomised from her but can't figure out what she's done yet. Maybe something with invisible ink.

>>24779709The devotion is fine. The task she chose is ridiculous.
Imagine thinking that actually happened.>Top 1% Posterexpert bullshitter (when it comes to bullshitting retards)
>>24771585I never heard of normies doing this. I did once try to copy out the Enchiridion of Epictetus as a present for my dad, but that's a much shorter work, I'm about as far from a normie as you can get, and I had to stop because my hand was hurting too much.
>>24772182Aw, that's actually cute. I remember reading a post about a guy who did that for his blind GF.
>>24772182What's your voice like? Deep or just pleasant to listen to?
>>24772182>Not reading to her snuggled up before bedThere is a time and a place for reading aloud and sitting in front of your computer is not it.
