I'm Amelia, and I've been writing "The Whisper Bell of Nettlewick Hollow" — a cozy fantasy about a village where strange things happen quietly, and nobody talks about it quite enough.

Tale 1 is up: The Kettle That Wouldn't Hush.

A kettle in the Grubb kitchen had been singing since Tuesday.
Aunt Mildred had had quite enough of it.

Marx to Engels correspondence 1882, Marx to Engels in Manchester:
>The Jewish nigger Lassalle who, I’m glad to say, is leaving at the end of this week, has happily lost another 5,000 talers in an ill-judged speculation. The chap would sooner throw money down the drain than lend it to a ‘friend’, even though his interest and capital were guaranteed. In this he bases himself on the view that he ought to live the life of a Jewish baron, or Jew created a baron (no doubt by the countess). Just imagine! This fellow, knowing about the American affair, etc., and hence about the state of crisis I’m in, had the insolence to ask me whether I would be willing to hand over one of my daughters to la Hatzfeldt as a ‘companion’, and whether he himself should secure Gerstenberg’s (!) patronage for me! The fellow has wasted my time and, what is more, the dolt opined that, since I was not engaged upon any ‘business’ just now, but merely upon a ‘theoretical work’, I might just as well kill time with him! In order to keep up certain dehors vis-à-vis the fellow, my wife had to put in pawn everything that wasn’t actually nailed or bolted down!

In a world where one's life-worth is determined by predestined "frequencies",MC is a low-born that attempts to change his fate by starting a relationship with The Girl, a high born savant.

Despite teachers and parents who tell MC that The Girl and he are opposites which will never attract,MC attempts throughout his youth to court The Girl with no success.The Girl,being of high frequency,is unable to feel emotion;however, her goal is to feel love.MC's friend,Suzuka,tries to help MC raise his frequency,a feat claimed to be impossible.During his teenage years,MC uses magnets and other methods with no avail.

Upon returning as a young adult to The Girl's birthday,he claims to be able to raise his frequency and eventually manages a kiss from The Girl. The two walk home together.MC discovers with Suzuka that sound waves,when combined with gibberish 2-syllable words,are able to temporarily raise one's frequency.They create a phone device which,based on the atmosphere,is able to determine which words can raise one's frequency.

However, MC and The Girl discover that the words actually have mind controlling properties which caused their love. A government organization detains MC and his associates, revealing that this phenomenon had been known throughout history and was slowly forgotten. Unable to contact Suzuka, MC uses the words to paralyze his captors and escape.

He escapes to Suzuka's house,where Suzuka's father reveals that music,specifically that of Suzuki Airi,was able to balance everyone's frequencies and nullify the mind controlling power of words.Suzuka is able to calculate an equation based on music and discover that fate exists.He is able to predict the future and the destinies of others.MC and The Girl realize their love was caused by fate not choice.Finding this romantic,the two hold hands while Suzuka watches and realizes he can take over the world!




Snow White was 7 years old 25/04/24(Thu)05:00 No. 18765 [Reply]

Read the original Grimm Brothers fairy tale
Snow White was 7 when the mirror first called her the fairest one of all
7 when she met the dwarfs who all fell in love with her
7 when she “died” and was put in the glass coffin so the dwarfs could look at her all the time
7 when the prince saw her in the glass coffin and fell in love with her and married her

Thoughts?

Isn't the very point of sleeping in a glass coffin for a very-very long time that when you wake up, you're no longer 7?

Her body didn't change while she was asleep, it was like she was frozen in time. She didn't get one day older during all of that time. And only a true love's kiss could awaken her.

Anyway, the best Grimm story is still the Bluebeard.

Except everyone misinterprets it's meaning. The Bluebeard was not the monster. The chick was kind of. But it's just a metaphor for how society functions.

i dunno man. unless u tell us what u like.

Jietai/GATE is great. it was originally a novel series. but they split it up into shorter LNs when the anime became a hit.

also pic related.

for more "classics" in le engrish. Stanislav Lem and Terry Pratchet. the short story collections from Lem might be good for "beginners" i guess?
and do oldskool gamebooks count? Lone Wolf. praise the sun and Kai!

I'm looking for articles, books, essays about self-harm and the recovery from it. I'm not interested in the clinical, sterile medical approach, more personal experience and guidance.

Why are some people so infatuated with Lovecraft? He is probably the most overrated horror writer ever.

He is basically emulating Hindu mythology and name drops 40 000 different gods while building some pseudo-imaginative netherworld where everything boils down to madness and hurr nothing makes sense durr. Pretty much every neckbeards wet dream besides watching anime.

If you dislike negroes you should read The Turner Diaries instead. William Pierce has more depth than Lovecraft in terms of writing stories that aren't masturbatory fever hallucinations.

1. he was one of if not the first to do what he did and record it

2. It is very recontextualizable.

3. It is fun.

he's like one of those musicians who was interesting but where covers of his work are always better.

Feminist wrote a book about boys.

It's pro-pedophilia and also writes about genital mutilation, admires the body of dead boys, lusts after martyrs dying.

In that book she heavily implies that page boys commonly were raped by royalty and clergy (raped by Mistresses too) and that this was a common practice.

>So the problem isn't what we see on the surface such as women falsely accusing men of rape. It is that men are fucking pussies and have allowed the "vibes in the air" or "consensus opinions" to rule the civilization which is the feminine way of government (they are not supposed to govern, only to receive the luxury and benefits, they cannot handle actual power)...

This kind of thinking reinforces lack of female moral accountability
By reducing women to being eternal wards, they will never mature
