>>25244843>Ketahn did not want a mate. Fate has a different plan for him. When the queen he despises declares her intention to claim him, he retreats into the jungle.>What he finds there changes his world.>Small, delicate, and pale skinned, Ivy Foster is nothing like the females Ketahn has known. She’s not of his kind at all. Yet the moment he sees her, he knows the truth in his soul—she is his heartsthread.>And now that he has her, he won’t let anything take her away. Not the jungle, not the gods, not the queen.>Whether Ivy agrees or not, their webs are entangled. No one will ever sever those threads.---->Book 1 of 3 in The Spider's Mate Trilogy.

>>25244843Performative, if she were alone she’d not be crying like that.
Another popular rec is haunting adeline>I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me.I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh.But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave.He's always there, watching and waiting.And I can never look away.Not when I want him to come closer.The Shadow>I didn't mean to fall in love.But now that I have, I can't stay away.I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves.The way she undresses...I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine.And once she is, I'll never let her go.Not even when she begs me to.

For our Spring and our Summer are gone by, and they will never be seen on earth again save in memory.>He is ancient in years now, according to his kind; and he awaits you, for he will not again make any long journey save one.>Farmer Cotton found Frodo lying on his bed; he was clutching a white gem that hung on a chain about his neck and he seemed half in a dream. ‘It is gone for ever,’ he said, ‘and now all is dark and empty.’
>>25244843Samuel Beckett's poetry
>>25244843The Aeneid. The burning of Troy and Dido specifically
I don’t cry like the women in these videos but damn some of Melville’s prose in Moby Dick, some Shakespeare, and the final book when Adam and Eve are exiled, as well as their suicide ideation in book x in Paradise Lost made my eyes water, the poetry really does make it feel as though all is in fact, lost.

>>25245036I haven't seen the movie...The book is like 200 pages long and I started weeping somewhere around page 100 and I cried more and more with each page. I cried so much that I had to finish it in that sitting becouse I knew I would cry everytime I would pick the book up...The book is GOAT for me.

I used to never cry over fictional stories or art. But the older I get, the softer I become. It started with music. Certain songs or classical pieces would make me cry almost to the point of sobbing.Then, some movies started doing it too.Books still didn’t have that effect on me. Since I enjoy writing, I used to stay very focused on the technique of the book, thinking things like, "This was very well done. I wish I had made something this good. Let me see how he did this so I can try to do it too." Recently, that has changed as well.The last book that made me cry was the ending of The Devil to Pay in the Backlands (Grande Sertão: Veredas).And to top it off, a few days ago I was watching Hunter x Hunter and, and the end of the Chimera Ant arc made me cry like a baby.
>>25244843Storm Of Steel made me tear up a bit on the last page
>>25245588>I used to never cry over fictional stories or art. But the older I get, the softer I become. It started with music. Certain songs or classical pieces would make me cry almost to the point of sobbing.It’s the same with me, as a teen I was a complete edgelord, unfazed by most stuff, sought it out even. Nowadays I’m a bit of a pussy when it comes to that even if it often still fascinates me. But this extends to reading too. Most recently, the end of the Nighttown chapter in Ulysses, where Bloom, while sitting with a knocked out Stephen, hallucinates his son, Rudy.
>>25245631I didn’t even finish this reply, but yeah, I meant to say it made me tear up. Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge also has this effect due to how overpowering it is. And a lot of poetry too but Milton’s for its own overpowering effect and Dante’s Purgatorio for how beautiful it is, especially after such a journey.I’ve never seen Hunter x Hunter though, never watched anime before, not that I’m averse to it, just that I’ve never really had the desire to check anything out.

>>25245707That’s why it’s so funny! She’s pretty attractive but she looks like a bimbo and anyone who has eyes to see the cover of the thing she’s reading would most certainly not think she’s an intellectual. It’s not much better than playing a nintendo switch in public.

That chapter of Moby Dick that made you think Queequeg was gonna die soon
>>25245544Earl Turner...
>>25246446>Moby Dick>Chapter 93 - The CastawayThe sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, butdrowned the infinite of his soul. Not drowned entirely, though. Rather carried down alive to wondrous depths, where strangeshapes of the unwarped primal world glided to and fro before his passive eyes; and the miser-merman, Wisdom, revealed hishoarded heaps; and among the joyous, heartless, ever-juvenile eternities, Pip saw the multitudinous, God-omnipresent, coralinsects, that out of the firmament of waters heaved the colossal orbs. He saw God’s foot upon the treadle of the loom, andspoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad. So man’s insanity is heaven’s sense; and wandering from all mortalreason, man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels thenuncompromised, indifferent as his God.

>>25246446It’s The Symphony for me; not even Ahab’s heart-to-heart with Starbuck, but Ishmael’s description of the calm sea and air calling and embracing Ahab in their tranquility and appealing to him to finally stop the chase for good. After all the shit he’s been through; after all the descriptions of the sea as something all-powerful and deeply terrifying beneath its tranquil veneer; as something that even Ahab calls on for power; seeing a man so consumed by hatred like Ahab being moved by such tranquility made my heart wrench something fierce. I love this book so goddamn much
>>25246748>>25246588>>25246452>>25246446What a book. This really was written in 1851?
>>25246889Right? I think It was either 1670 or 1930. But for some reason, people say 1851.

The Rise and Fall of Communism when I was 17. The book is firmly anti-communist and doesn't romanticize the USSR, but I got emotional watching Gorbachev unravel the union after 500 pages of following Lenin-Stalin-Khrushchev-Brezhnev's exploits.
