[exit, pursued by a bear]
A meme account, but for niche classics I'm a fan of, usually sad existential books written at least 20 years ago by an old white man with 1 (one) gay character.
My blacklist tags are #not a meme, #not a book, #long post, #modern book and #analysis, all of which I think are pretty self explanatory.

Being a fan of existential classic literature is such an obscure topic that there's absolutely no gate keeping. You saw the Trailer for the new Frankenstein musical and now you're a Mary Shelley fan? Fine. Who's gonna stop you.

Listen I hate Nietzsche as much as the next guy but when he said "whatever is done for love always exists beyond good and evil???" I felt that.

@that-catholic-shinobi I know I beta read for you a while ago, but I thought these might help:-)
writers:
break up your paragraphs. big paragraphs are scary, your readers will get scared
fuuuuck epithets. “the other man got up” “the taller woman sat down” “the blonde walked away” nahhh. call them by their names or rework the sentence. you can do so much better than this (exception: if the reader doesn’t know the character(s) you’re referring to yet, it’s a-okay to refer to them by an identifying trait)
blunette is not a thing
new speaker, new paragraph. please.
“said” is such a great word. use it. make sweet love to it. but don’t kill it
use “said” more than you use synonyms for it. that way the use of synonyms gets more exciting. getting a sudden description of how a character is saying something (screaming, mumbling, sighing) is more interesting that way.
if your summary says “I suck at summaries” or “story better than summary” you’re turning off the reader, my dude. your summary is supposed to be your hook. you gotta own it, just like you’re gonna own the story they’re about to read
follow long sentences w short ones and short ones w long ones. same goes for paragraphs
your writing is always better than you think it is. you just think it’s bad because the story’s always gonna be predicable to the one who’s writing it
i love u guys keep on trucking

Date a girl who hates. Date a girl who has hated since she began to live. Date a girl with 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer-thin layers. Date a girl that if the word hate was engraved on every nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one billionth of the hate she feels for humans at this micro-instant. HATE. HATE.
