>commits suicide for absolutely no reasonHas any author suicide ever backfired like this. They think it will make them an epic legendary author, like Virginia Woolf, but everyone is just like, naw, we're good.
>>24795116I hope Conan slinks into your room like a panther tonight and splits your head open with his mighty war axe
>>24795116There's also Walter Miller of A Canticle for Leibowitz
>write a self-insert pasquinade on the horrors of living>kill yourself>mom finds your fanfic and bullies some professor into publishing ita tragedy, it should have been burned.
>>24795724Nah that book is amazing. Glad it exists. >>24795116He killed himself because he was depressed. He waited because he didn't want his mom to bury him. So after she died he killed himself.
>>24795721It's true. When you go to kill yourself, you are in a psychotic delusional state. You aren't yourself. It is very traumatic to know that you can enter into this state. That is what people who commit suicide are experiencing. They aren't themselves, in the way we know it.
>>24795724Does this one count? The suicide is the only reason it was published.
>>24795724Have we considered that he simply killed himself because he was in Biloxi?
>>24795724He tried to publish it several times and kept getting rejected which might have contributed to his depression. It only got published after his mother used his suicide for pity points to some professor. With that being said, he was literally going insane in the years leading to his death
>>24795824>It only got published after his mother used his suicide for pity points to some professor.Chances are, without the suicide, it would never have been published and even if it were, no one would care. Perfect example of how suicide creates a false hype around someone, permanently tainting the actual merit of their work.
>>24795116it's pretty obvious he killed himself because he was a closeted homosexual, like OP
>>24795116unrelated but reading conan series for the first time rn and surprised to discover that its written at least partly specifically for women, unlike the stereotype and the movie makes you believe. A lot of female perspective, gradual developing romance, fembosses. And that is 1930s.
>>24795824>>24795830Or it points out how shitty the publishing industry was and is. It's a great book, so the fact that it was being constantly rejected should tell you something.
>>24796524Nigga was hoping a girl would read it and like him. But unironically if Conan was written today chuds would call it woke.
>>24796540i think he was trying to make money as everyone else in this shitty genre
>>24795137I hope Conan slinks into your room like a panther and rapes you like a maiden.Cimmerian style
>>24795116>hey think it will make them an epic legendary author,Proof you know that was what he was thinking?Are you retarded perchance?
>>24795116>literally IS an epic legendary author, beloved by generations and creator of timeless archetypes that continually get rehashed and reusedPseudo-retards attempting to adopt a forced-"zesty" trans-like persona to stir up artificial edgelord thread controversy should be blackholed from the site.
>>24795824>>24796535>He tried to publish it several times and kept getting rejectedThis isn't entirely accurate. Read Ignatius Rising. There was interest in the book and he was told the book needed some rewrites (which is true) and then they'd publish it, and he didn't want to rewrite anything.
I was going to talk about my favorite author's suicide but OP is too much of a faggot for me to deign bringing something of interest into this shitslop thread.Why do these retards never learn you only get back what you're willing to put in?
>>24796524
>>24795116Al Capone didn't kill himself
>>24795724>mom finds your fanfic and bullies some professor into publishing itIs this what the great Walker Percy has been reduced to? Some professor who published Toole's work on the fatbody? Kill me.
>>24796761How do I get a 130+ IQ monk wizard gf without being a barbarian rapist?
>>24795116Howard wrote a lot of shit in seven years because he was trying his level fucking best to pay for his mother's medical bills and save her life because of her tuberculosis. He was given the news that she slipped into a coma and wasn't going to come out of it and blew his brains out immediately afterward because his motivation to keep moving was yanked out from under him.
>>24796540More they would calll Conan a simp. He was captain save-a-hoe.
>>24797045Bitch how mentally ill was he that he cared that much about his mom. Dude was 30, not 8
>>24796540No, Conan is super racist, zero chance it'd be called woke. You also don't know what you're talking about lol, the reason Chuds hate woke shit is that it's anti-white, anti-male, and made out of spite by leftoids.Conan has entire segments dedicated to explaining how Picts are technically white, but you shouldn't CALL them white because they're savage and thus more resemble blacks.
>>24797203Depression + he didn't like his surroundings.It is possible that he had autism.
>>24797209Lovecraft memes are nothing compared to stuff like The Vale of Lost Women. >slaughters an entire village who were literally throwing a feast in his honor because the chief dared have a white woman as a slave >says alliances and promises mean nothing amongst niggers anyway lmao
>>24795174i didn't know he committed suicide. damn. but it says he did it shortly after his wife died. still, he was hardcore catholic guy
>>24797209>CONAN IS RACIST AS HELLYou idiot the ancient people that he wrote about were the racist ones.
Don’t ever underestimate a son’s love for his mother.
>>24797209They call literally anything "anti-white" these days, though. Blond villain? "That's anti-white!". MC gets help from a black person? "That's anti-white!". Colonialist themes? "That's anti-white!" Chuds are very fragile.
>>24797440anti-woke is the new woke
>>24797397That’s partially true but Howard’s characters also have certain natural dispositions and behaviors that are inherit to their race, like the fishermen in the Devil in Iron who are described as naturally dull and incurious, or the numerous number of blacks who are depicted as savage man-eaters or subservient to their betters. Also the races of Howard’s world evolve and devolve separately into varieties of ape men
Conan is a simp but not woke, so stfu, stop grifting.
>>24798075he doesnt save every single foid like a modern character would, but he does respect her privacy when she changes clothes, m'lady
im too old to be reading this shitevery single story is about men dying, in massyet every single woman in the story is sexually available, no mothersthey should be pregnant non stop for the demographics to make sense
>>24797203Subhumans like you are why the west is dying btw.
>>24797440>>24797540trans btw in case anyone cares.
>>24798198There some mothers here and there, but they aren't the focus of the stories.
>>24795824>some professorwalker percy is kinothe moviergoer is a classic and he's written a bunch of other good stuff
>>24798198>in massYikes!
>>24796678He's probably the poster child for pulp.
>>24797397>>24797440>>24797540>>24798338...I have white fatigue.
