I guarantee that you will love Tolkien's rendition of the Beowulf or Pearl; he personally would have wanted all the readers and fans of Middle-earth to go back to the original sources. Why else did he spend a lifetime studying them, then translating them for the everyman?

>>25171461
Why would I care what another man spent a lifetime doing and studying, besides that being very nice for him and that I am proud of his interest
It's not good for people to only read these old "perfect" things. People need slop anon. Or else the brain gets too tight and they start saying things like
>then delve into these works

>>25171464
Why reply unless you feel some tension here? Do you think you're missing out. I promise that the sparkling diadems of poesy will dazzle you. Words are beautiful and you should savour your time on this earth, by worshipping what your forbears left you, in the forms of songs and poetry and the oral tradition.

>>25171469
Because I am providing a visible opinion to others reading this thread that is counter to your weird one sided cult minded nonsense. There is so much gay with what you're saying here let me show you
>replying only because of tension

some of them are nice, sure. but it's extremely gay for a person to imply that that's all someone should surround themself with

You talk and think like a middle schooler. I thought this place actually had some readers, but maybe I should signpost by not mentioning fantasy, which is your preferred flavour of commercial slop.

You're arguing to "win" and claim "victory". A real argument is about finding compromise or hear someone out, but if you want to treat conflict like a game, then it is about soothing some sore deep down. It isn't about the fact we have differing values and perceptions, but that you want to one-up me. It speaks of a miserable soul, rather than a youthful one. It means you're trying to gain a sense of power. I don't think it's particularly anything I said, although I might have derided your particular escapist fantasy by pointing out it is derivative and bereft of the beauty it is a simulacrum of, but your internal shattered self that is trying to ignore its wounds. If you are already thinking of a way to unravel what I've said and humiliate me in front of the scores of anonymous lookers, as you seemed to imply before, then you are not listening to me and you are just trying to get something. Ask yourself: why do I feel this way and how can I better understand myself?

You have described yourself as youthful. I agree. You have shown tendencies to be impulsive and inattentive; you have described yourself as hating "boring" things like reading literature and want to appease your base instincts as soon as possible. You lack in empathy and have frequently said hurtful and derogatory things to me, merely because I disagree and have a different opinion. You are emotionally immature, sometimes flaring into cruelty and viewing the world like a zero sum game where you must beat me at verbal fisticuffs. You are egocentric and keep framing things in terms of your own "youthful" self-interest, wanting to eat literary fairy floss, fantasy commercial fiction, instead of the ambrosia of epic poetry. It is bad for you and will dull the senses and the mind, rather than build your lexical knowledge, verbal intelligence, and knowledge of literary history. You think you know everything and erase the perspectives of others, because you do not have the social skills to understand interpersonal communication.

You don't listen, incel! You're a piece of shit! You're a narcissist! Eeeeeep!
Is that what you wanted? Is that how you wanted things to pan out? Are you satiated now, now that you have conquered this weak, little lamb?
