Ok, who's gonna post the manchildcore image >>25501313Actually the catholic space angels only gave free bottom surgery to the other autarchs. This is a very profound and serious work of literature and not a s*ord and s*rcery novel.
>>25501150Huh, I never read Wolfe, but this character looks like a combination of two characters from my current project. Maybe I should finally read The Book of the New Sun.
>>25502096Manchild anon may be annoying but he has a point.
>>25502096>infertility being the antithesis to birthing the new sun is hacky.>heirodules witnessing and/or setting in motion actions that lead to horrific events that lead to greater good is in anyway at odds with castrating a failure.only two autarchs have attempted the "test" prior to Severian, btw. it's also worth noting that, because Severian carries their memories and hundreds of others, the tests would have to be obfuscated somehow.
This has for sure been discussed to absolute death but was it Thecla who raped Jolenta in the boat or is Severian threatened by beauty and the effect women have on him?
Growing up is realizing botns is a poor man's John Carter Mysterious landscapes laden with decaying ruins and technology? John CarterA slowly dying planet? John CarterThere's a big ass door only special guys can open? John CarterA seemingly immortal protagonist who narrates everything himself? John Carter Genetic memory? Yeah it was the fifth book but that was in John Carter.>b-but Book of the New Sun has so many more secrets and explanations and LORE! An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicity.
>>25502233jolenta orchestrated their little rendezvous on the boat. there are pages of her openly gloating about her ability to manipulate men before hand. severian(i doubt thecla had anything to do with this) wanted to defile her but also probably couldn't control himself either. there isn't much more to it than that other than the moral question of is rape even wrong in a lawless world where sex is meaningless; but that's another topic.>>25502251>he thinks depth and richness is complexityok, terry.
>>25502251>An idiot admires complexity, a genius admires simplicityAnd a true retard can't tell the difference
>>25502425Lucky for you I'm a true retard.
>>25502269I like all of these
>>25502233A mix of sev being fucked up by his past experiences, and her in general being dehumanized into a succubus. Jolenta certainly created the situation and at that point in the story it’s doubtful if she even cared about the violence being done to her. The most important aspect is that severian felt remorse even if it isn’t certain that it was rape. It touches on his actual morality and in my mind is a trap for midwits who wish to claim botns is propaganda for severian
>>25501150Are you an executioner from an unspecified time in the future that is also a g-d who fucks his own dead grandmother and has like a million legit people in his brain?
>>25503634On all levels except physical, yes
>>25502269Vance and hosgeson have terrible writing
>>25502230>it's also worth noting that, because Severian carries their memories and hundreds of others, the tests would have to be obfuscated somehow.This is the explicit canonical reason for the fake tests administered to the previous Autarchs, not just speculation/reasoning. Severian is told this outright and the previous Autarch in his mind reacts with dismay to learning it.
>>25502269>Wolfe fans get filtered by Clark Ashton SmithLmao I own the complete set of Night Shade CAS stories in hardback. I'm particularly fond of Averoigne and Hyperborea, but Wolfe is clearly superior to CAS.
>>25503889kek(awooo)
>>25504112Filtered>>25504128Sure you do wolfefagSmith was a recognised poet who fraternised with Bierce and London not a fat STEM hack whom his fans think is "based" because he was involved with some goyslop company
>>25504128>>25504112please don't feed the troll
This board used to be 99% Wolfe lover. I am positive any and all Wolfe hate is by people who loved and were onramped to scifi and fantasy by Wolfe then now feel like they're too good for him and are trying to be contrarian elitists.
Wolfepack! Awooooo
>>25504239Oh, I can smell the seething behind this post. That's it isn't it? Anon posts the whole manchild schtick because he hates the fact he's a manchild himself.
>>25502149His head has a point.
>>25502233Jolenta wasn't raped at all. Stop listening to that stupid podcast.
>>25502269You will never see a naked woman.
>>25504237>peopleIt's literally one deranged guy. The board is still 99% Wolfe lover, this solitary deranged nigger is just insanely loud now.
>>25502251John Carter is the poor man's John Carter.
>>25501150>Stick 'em with the pointy end!>Oh wait, it's a LARP sword
>>25504305Refuse to actually watch them past that first episode because of how much of a complete shitpost it is, but I can image they call silk a sociopath child molester or something lmfao
>>25504335Having this image saved on your computer isn't the epic own you think it is
is Sev AGP or HSTS?
>>25504335>sits back>cracks mountain dew>sips
>>25504258Awoooo
>>25501150Delusional and self-aggrandizing to the point of confabulating reality itself?
>>25501381I’m more like horn ._.
