>>7076037

B-Baka!

i should have hooked up with taylor instead of always being the nice guy she obviously wanted to hook up if she lied on a bed with me for 2 hours for no reason
wtf is wrong with me i swear sometimes im autistic

everything but gothninja looks like shit

get over it

>>7076090
>lies 2 hours on a bed with a girl
>doesn't even try anything
yeah you're definitely autistic or something.
do you by any chance wear a fedora and are you often in a state of euphoria?

>>7076090
Just stop thinking
Don't think should I or should I not?
Be impulsive, be a man who takes what he wants

they are both having the kids and have agreed to raise them as brothers.

>>7076140
good one anon

>>7075927
It's not being forced. It's being discussed. If you don't like it, NOTHING is stopping you from researching your favorite styles and creating an aesthetic that fits your own soul perfectly.

Nothing except your own inaction, that is.

>>7076159
Am I supposed to be offended by this?

>>7076092
i feel ya on that one mane

>>7076168
no you should be offended by the fact that you're a 40 year old man playing dress-up on the internet with people in their late teens.

Hey poet, I'm pretty sure I saw you Sunday night. Didn't you say you live in Park Slope?

>>7076147
thats so much harder than having people discuss things for me tho

>>7076168
No poet this guy obviously came here late and has no concept of trying to relate and give birth to a new idea. This person is simply a follower going along with what's popular and not liking when he sees new ideas coming about. We have to leave him behind

>>7076173
I'm 32 and I could give a shit. All fashion is dress up.
I'm treating this forum as fertile ground for new ideas. I'm trying new things. I could care less about the average demographic here. I'm trying to build something, to give life to an idea.

You ought to do some soul searching yourself, maybe find out why you feel the need to pull people down to your level of mediocrity. You're like a crab in a bucket, pulling down anyone who might dare escape.
I am grateful to whatever God there may or may not be that I don't go through life looking to sabotage creativity.

based poet. dont listen to the creepy stalker dude who seems to be following you around the board

>>7076221
He's making a fool out of you, idiot.

cant hurt to drop a bit on sc mang u got fans here n there.

Alot.

>>7076225
>still on 4chan
I came to 4chan when I was 23. It's my favorite board. I like the format, I like the discourse, I like the people and the culture. Other boards just don't cut it for me.
Am I supposed to just cut ties with my favorite site because of a number?
See you in ten years.

>>7076260
It's sad you still have the time to post here
Kinda proves you done nothing with yourself no matter how much "things" you think you did
Well I'm 21 and a student and wasting away on here while I'm "studying"
I mean... Ain't you suppose idk maybe travel to places like Paris, start a small fashion line or something if your 32 and into fashion?
You seem like a loser to be still posting here

>>7076282
he's not a loser for posting here, he's a loser for posting here with a trip

don't sweat it bro its just trolls

>>7076294
what he does with his music is up to him. i think it's pretty clear he has a reason for not posting it.

>>7076282
I already pioneered a streetwear line a few years ago. I'm gainfully employed, enjoying my life and living how I want. I don't have to work a 9-5, I own my home and I don't answer to a boss.

I like posting here. It's a choice I have the freedom to make. I do what I want, I wear what I want. End of story.

>>7076308
Cause it no good
Most artist like sharing their music because they are proud of it

>>7076322
Google "Kings County Lighthouse"
It's one of the few things I can say I'm good at with no reservations.
>>7076294
I'll post it when my life slows down a bit. I'm in the middle of a lot of big changes. Impressing strangers is not on my to do list.

>>7076307
True, I usually ignore it but there's been so much false info posted about me, so much negativity, I get suckered into saying my piece.

>>7076325
Sound like you don't have a lot of money to do exciting things
>and I don't mean buying shit I mean opening up business ventures and traveling and meeting ppl

I'm nearly always one-somewhat-inconvienience away from driving my car to the Appalachians and hanging myself from a tree where no one will ever find my body

Oh child, you have no idea. None at all.

>>7076325
>>7076344
>>7076357
This entire thing has gone too far, I tell ya hwat.

>>7076344
I didn't think you were sharing music to impress, I assumed most artist actually enjoyed sharing their creations with people that enjoyed it but w.e I can understand being busy just not many crate diggers around.

>>7076344
p good sounds bro

>>7076384
Thanks, brother. No sample libraries, all sounds sourced from classic vinyl and performed live on hardware.

>>7076100
dude i couldn't even tell you it was my first time being buzzed in a while and i thought about it way too much, if i had been given an obvious sign then it would have been a wrap

>>7076394
yeah I read that on the side. its a refreshing change from the general "kid w/ first microKorg" instrumental hiphop thats overabundant on soundcloud

>>7076394
poet, you are one of the most respectable people here. I always love your postings.
u r my niggah, m8

nice sounds by the way. Not a surprise, i like your taste like in lunar core thing

>>7076377
I guess I mean that the only benefit for me releasing right now would be props from the community.
I'm actually hesitant because I know a certain rapper is gunning for my instrumentals. We've talked IRL, it's a long story.

>>7076436
Hey, I really appreciate that. There's a lunarcore track on there called "The Next Frontier". I've actually been assembling the stylistic elements of lunarcore for close to a decade, now. I started with sounds and pictures after a series of vivid dreams about Skylab.

i want money for clothes but im too busy with school and life to work more than 5 hours a week, and i keep trying to come up with better ways to make money than working at mcdonald's but nothing is working

hit the fucing nail on the head m8

>>7076344
damn poet this shit is dope

>>7076465
Somewhat. Aligned with ASAP crew but a very minor player. Wants my cloud beats. Promises the world, but clearly aiming to take my work for free.
I'm not a newbie in this game, I've been in talks with Def Jam before. It's just not my scene. I love making beats as a form of self discovery. When I started getting recognition from certain people, the entire meaning of the process changed for the worse, and so I've backed away from that world. I don't need the money.

>>7076513
Cheers, m8.

>>7076548
you convinced me to get an mc-505 and i played with it for a few weeks, but then school started and have used it in a while.

my schedule is about to become freer in a few days and I was wondering if you had any tips for me

>>7076578
So, so, so many. Where should I start?

>>7076581
uh shit man idk

like i did the stuff in the manual but i didnt get very good at it

>>7076548
yo poet hit me up with some books to read

also have your read the forever war yet?

>>7076585
Okay.
You're gonna get your best sounds by building your own drumkits, pitching your drums down and building your own patches from multiple tones.
The MC 5's sounds get cheesy when you use them too much, so use little bursts of sound, a single instrument among many that plays only a few notes in a longer melody. Other instruments finish the expression.

Strings are gonna sound poor unless you pitch em down and layer the hell out of them. I build 10-chords with my strings. They get rich, full.
There's a track on my soundcloud called sermon that's all 505 save for a few breath samples. Check it out.

Be more specific, I'll help you out.
You gotta think outside the box with this thing, You gotta build a little world. Master patch building. Open your heart.

my geo tracker got towed by the city today. I wouldnt even bother getting it back except i left my rick leather jacket in there. i cant even afford to get it out right now and by the time m. next paycheck comes i will have to pay $400 in fees

FML

>>7076598
Not yet, I'm reading "Touched by Fire", which is about the high incidence of mental illness in poets and artists. It posits that a certain 'madness' resides in the best artists, it's their curse and their gift. They create out of pain.

Also reading Feminist Theory by Bell Hooks.

I suggest World War Z. It's nothing like the movie and a truly brilliant take on the world today.

>>7076618
yeah i think the main problem is that i cant think of like how to get my own sound or original sounds out of it i guess

im gonna need to read through the manual again since i forgot a decent amount hahaha

>>7076649
>truly brilliant take on the world today
i just read that and like eh

>>7076649
>2013
>reading bell hooks

my sides

>>7076176
have you tried dressing up as a girl in a time and place where you know he'll "catch" you?

>>7076649
would you suggest "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" or "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"?

>>7076685
i'm doing that right now

>>7076649
how are you such a good writer dude?

how do i become better?

also how did you figure your life out so well?

>>7076660
Get into patch editing. Patches are made by combining the machine's existing waveforms. See the 'tone select' option?
Non of the stock patches are any good. Build a patch of strings that's thick as hell and go from there.
Once you get patch editing, you'll open a new door.
Also, look in the manual for microscope mode and learn how to use it.
Next time you sit down to work, focus only on creating new sounds and saving them. Trust me.
>>7076682
Motorcycle Maintenance.
Read Dog Soldiers. Read Drop City. Read 'A boy called It". Read Glamorama. Read Still Holding. Read Schismatrix Plus. Read Burnng Chrome. Read Altered Carbon. Read The Bachman Books.

>>7076663
Women's studies has done wonders for my game. Laugh at it all you want, but if you're reasonably open minded and intelligent, PUA doesn't hold a candle to straight up women's studies.

Why the FUCK is this thread here? This is /adv/ and /r9k/ shit.

>>7076713
Read books, don't be mean to strangers and keep an open mind. That's it.
I figured out life by failing and hurting myself.

>>7076721
>>7076728
poet with people i dont know well we talk for a while about a topic, but then it dries up and soon it get awkward

also how did womens studies help you with your game?

>>7076682
Dunno if you'll pay attention to this seeing as I'm not poet, but over those I'd suggest This Side Of Paradise or idk, a lot of stuff.. Bildungsroman style, maybe even Ham On Rye. However, just reading is good, so y'know, read those two, form opinions, read more.

>>7076728
Poet, keep up the standard of conversation, it's appreciated. Also enjoying KCL, might hit you up soon about music.

>>7076740
Just shift topic, ask them about something, ask them why they think _something_, even fucking tell them a joke. A topic drying up isn't (necessarily) the end of a conversation.

>>7076740
You're not asking them enough questions. When they reply to a question, relate your own experiences to it and pull more info out of them that can be used to continue the convo. Keep them talking while interjecting bits of your own life.

Women's studies taught me how the average female mind works by exposing me to female narratives and experiences.. It's not mysterious at all, it's just that when you understand the struggles of a particular group it's much easier to interact with them.

>>7076752
>might hit you up soon about music.
I'll be here.

>>7076721
why should i read all those books?

>>7076766
Because they're all good reads and unique to boot.

>>7076260
Why would you like /fa/ out of all places in the internet to post? The large majority of regulars seem to be pretentious faggots who dress up for others and think of themselves as above the just as insecure masses below them. Why stay here?

>>7076721
thanks so much man

that sermon track was really great man

>>7076774
how was world war z good?

>>7076781
Because I've grown fond of this place. Everyone talks about oh 4chan is a miserable shithole, why are you here?

I'm here because this place, loved or hated, is a potential hotbed of new ideas. In spite of the shitposting and mayhem, /fa/ is a place unlike any other, and I mean that in a good way.
A lot of shit comes out of 4chan, but a lot of greatness also comes out of it. This place is what we make it.
I've tried SZ, Unwoven, Sufu. They just don't strike me, simple as that.

>>7076792
Sermon is full of ten-chords. The strings are rich because they're stacked. Do you see what I mean about using individual sounds alone as parts of a longer melody?

The mc 505 does good pianos, good bells, good basslines, good drums (pitched down), good machine noises and excellent drones. Focus on building a track with those.

>>7076800
It's not a zombie book so much as it is an exploration of international politics and gobal crisis. Very well thought out.

>>7076915
Cheers, mate. I appreciate that.

i'm happy you're here poet. my first experience on /fa/ was you telling me "i had the right idea"
which is really the only reason i kept coming back, because i wanted to see where my ideas would take me.

do you a tumblr or steam or s/t i could contact you at outside of /fa/?

>>7076971
Thank you.
You can contact me on my soundcloud or at cosmonaute@mail.com.

Seeing where ideas can take you is one of the noblest pursuits.

kafka on the shore, 1Q84, or norwegian wood.

which should i read?

>>7077229

what if poet saw that post and it changed his whole outlook on life.

30 years from now (when he's 80) he'll be sitting in his space station telling his grandkids, "i used to post on 4chan until some wise anon said the most inspiring thing i have ever heard"
"what did he say grandpa?"
"do some soul searching dog."

poet, i am saying this from the bottom of my heart, do some soul searching dog.

please screencap this post, and look at it everyday. there is hope dog, you just gotta search for it.

>>7076198
>I'm trying to build something, to give life to an idea.

nothing i will ever say will be funnier than poet being earnest

>>7077300
I'm under the impression Poet has his life established, his shit down, etc. - he's not on here asking for advice on how to style himself, or asking where to buy the most basic articles of clothing

He comes here and offers perspective and help as he sees fit - he is giving back

If you don't want to recognize that, it's on you

SHould the sentance go

Nervously, I turned the corner and as I saw my friends a feeling of accomplishment flowed throughout my body

or

Nervously, I turned the corner and as I saw my friends, a feeling of accomplishment flowed throughout my body

notice comma after friedns

>>7077369
I turned the corner nervously and saw my friends, a feeling of accomplishment flowed through my body.

>>7077369
Use a dash instead of comma - the comma suggests to long a pause and it's awkward

>>7077392
That's two sentences the way you do it

>>7077370
i was joking.
i thought it was funny someone told him "do some soul searching dog"
like that would really offend him.

so then i wrote out a scenario describing it, since me and poet are both writers.

>>7077398
dont' really care

just wanted to give the idea that he shouldn't start it with nervously because it sounds stunted

>>7077392
that sounds kind of weird

>>7077391
idk man i dont want to fuck with dashes

>>7076372

It is if 4channers are asking me about my personal life.

You're blogging about your life right now. Just so happens that your life is 4chan and your posts aren't as distinct as poet's because yours look like thousands of other posts on this site.

I thought it was really clever the way I implied you spend too much time on Brazzers. I played along and answered. Least you could do is like get upset or s/t

Remember how I didn't mention the quality of his writing? I also didn't mention the value of distinction.

You are putting words in my mouth just so you can hear them and be upset by them.
Again. Chill out. Take a break from the internet for a bit.

>>7077687
No. I said writing distinctly is better than writing like you.
You said distinction isn't an achievement.
I agree with you. Being better than you is not an achievement by a long shot.

1q84 is good but it gets really lost in itself in terms of narrative a lot to the point of frustration come end, overindulgent would be accurate if it wasn't so emotionally pure. honestly, it'll be a massive and tough (nigh impossible) read if it doesn't strike you in the first 50 pages. it's one of my favourites, though, for personal/sentimental reasons.
kafka is a half-dream bildungsroman that transcends age. comforting and beautiful and often scarily intimate, in a good way. composed and more thought out than 1q84, and can really be lived in as a novel
norwegian wood is an orange to apples here
read kafka and norwegian wood, starting with norwegian wood, then 1q84 after dipping into kafka for a bit. it's a worthwhile and genuinely fulfilling read but if he's not your cup of tea by the time you finish kafka once or twice you best not bother.

all this fucking pyrex/hypebeast/leather skirt shirt is nothing but a flash in the pan and looks like total shit.

Before this thread, I always hated Trips like Poet. Mainly for their overt as well as subtle arrogance. But after reading this thread and seeing how he gives such good and comprehensive advice, like really knows what he's talking about, I'm starting to change my mind.
Its clear he's well read, good at creating music, has a decent amount of money, has nice clothes and all around seems like a cool dude.

O wait he's fucking tripping on a goddamn ANONYMOUS imageboard for the sake of gaining notoriety and satisfaction from being praised by losers who don't have their shit together. You fucking cunt that's not /fa/ or cool at all, its goddam pretentious. Go make a tumblr and toss your link in the tumblr threads like everyone else. You're not a special snowflake.

I love the anonymity of 4chan. Reading the posts in a thread is like sorting through a mental map of some great (extremely profane, racist and all too often dumb) collective consciousness. Entities inside it are bashing one another sometimes using solid, well-thought out arguments other times replying with nothing more then "u niggerfaggot:/".

Having a Trip disrupts this harmony and focuses your attention on that one post instead of viewing the thread as a whole. This snowballs because the more people that reply to that Trip, the more that Trip posts. This thread is a prime fucking example of a Trip causing unnecessary shit posting of the worst kind.

TL:DR Trips fuck up the natural flow of 4chan IMO and its a fucking detestable practice.

fuck
:(

>>7076198
I'm also 32, and I come here for the entertainment. I didn't even find out about 4chan until about 2007, and it still never ceases to blow my mind (my computer loving, anime watching boyfriend showed me).

>>7077747

its ok bruh
I still kek'd irl at that imagery

>O wait he's fucking tripping on a goddamn ANONYMOUS imageboard
You know who made the default posts anonymous?
The same guy who implemented tripcodes.

>for the sake of gaining notoriety and satisfaction from being praised
synthesizing motives for the actions of others is p ridiculous in most contexts

>>7077764
but posting in haikus cracks me up

you should try it
you can even do it on another board so you won't feel like I'm judging you for being a hypocrite or w/e

>>7077773
you dont seem to understand the intentions of trips, rather your understanding of trips is what tripfaggotry has become over the years.

you also dont understand the importance of anonymity on an anonymous board

>>7077796
>you dont seem to understand the intentions of trips
I don't attempt to. It's multiple people. Assigning a single motivation to all of them for tripping would be like assigning a single motivation to all people wearing baseball caps.
>some want protection from sun
>some rep a team
>some think it looks cool
>et fucking cetera

>you also dont understand the importance of anonymity on an anonymous board
Check yourself. I'm posting as anon right now because I value anonymity. Why should I give a shit that others don't value it as much as I do?

>>7077773
Moot=/= all other Trips
I shouldn't have to even point out why. He's the owner of the site... of course his posts require authenticity.
I've read a couple interviews where he says he usually posts anon anyways.

Motives are irrelevant. I was simply bashing.
The result is all that matters... and its fucking atrocious.


Sometimes there are good reasons to trip, can't think of any tbh. But i feel most Trips abuse the proverbial shit out of their power.

>>7077774

>>7077836
Can you not see how Trips fuck up the natural order of anon?

Almost every Trip post turns a thread into a fucking mess.

>>7077837
Wow. You're a fucking idiot if you think moot created tripcodes for himself and then accidentally let every other user on 4chan have access to them.

Trips exist because moot wants them to.
Anonymity exists because moot wants it to.

This is how it is on moot's site. Find another completely dedicated anon-only site if that's what you're after.

Or better yet, create your own. Stop being so fucking lazy, expecting hundreds of people to change to suit your vision of the ideal website instead of simply changing yourself to accommodate a less-than-ideal website or better yet, changing yourself to the point where you can create your ideal website.

>>7077850
>Almost every Trip post turns a thread into a fucking mess.
4chan is in a perpetual state of mess.

You and I have been making a mess right here for like 30 min m8. Not a single trip has intervened.

If we weren't arguing about trips we'd be arguing about some other stupid shit like whether or not we should allow spooky animated .pngs on the site because they're deceiving and we don't expect them to jump out at us because they're not .gifs or what the fuck ever

truth is, you and I are bored. You and I have conflicted values. If we didn't have trips to argue about, we'd be arguing about some whole other shit.
Welcome to 4chan m8. This is how it works.

>>7077752
for fuck's sake, take a chill pill and pull the stick out of your ass. don't like trips that don't contribute? filter. there's a button at both the top and bottom of your screen reading 'settings', click it, and filter. or, better yet make more opportunity for better discussion
more active, quality discussion leads to less shitposting/trip "drama" outside of the waywt. if you feel his presence as a trip is so detrimental to the quality and 'meaning' of the board and undermines the anonymous posting format, send an e-mail to moot. otherwise, quit putting your energy into passive aggressive nonsense on a messageboard that, in the end, will only be a detriment to your experience here. you're on /fa/, learn and discuss and contribute to /fa/, not this idiotic mudslinging that serves to only increase that ill-supposed notoriety you can't stand so much
you have more power on the board than you think you do. you want to see more anon-contributed talk with less trips, start some. the anons you want to see won't be as unwilling to crawl out the woodwork if there's topics of thought and interest that pertain to them.


>>7077721
eta: scratch that, 'thought out' isn't accurate. 'expressed' is a better term, both are complex but 1q84 is in its own special realm of ineffable weird that defies quick description
kafka on the shore is just more accessible to the reader in how murakami portrays his thoughts. its english language edition also a better translation (imo, at least) than 1q84. there are just some ideas that can't easily cross the language boundary in that work.

>>7077877
are you dense m8?
look at the first post

its a shot at poet and this childish idea of lunarcore

197 posts and everything was ITT was about poet/lunarcore/trips

just ONE post/post tree deviates away from that which was about chelsea boots

tell me again trips arent the cancer of this site

>>7077858

You didn't refute my argument what so ever you little worm.

The absolute, irrefutable fact is that Trips increase shitposting. Moot has made it a point that shitposting is bad and is something mods and himself take steps to prevent. therefore, tripping functions should be modified or removed.

Tripping was not originally like this.

>>7077915
he said that he has no intention of removing trips a bunch of times

>>7077927
His site he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

I'm just saying he's got some conflicting priorities then.

>>7075920

I wish I had a qt gf. I'm 21 and never had one

>>7077568
That's because all casey did was post about trying to hook up with a girl at the dollar store. He never had anything real to contribute fashion wise and went out of his way to ruin as many threads as he could.

>>7077897
>look at the first post
Then look at the last 30 posts.
Mostly by anons saying stupid shit.

>tell me again trips arent the cancer of this site
4chan is composed of millions and millions of users.
Each of them are individually shitty. Some trips are shittier than average, some less.
When a trip posts, a handful of shitty people will orbit around him, shitting shitposts.

You argue that trips increase the frequency of this shitting, when in reality the shitting is only slightly more noticeable as it's more concentrated around a few posters.

What you fail to realize that it's not actually the posters shit posting. It's people who insist on following them around shitting up the board.


I don't hate trips because I hold people accountable for their actions individually. Trips are not responsible for the thousands of idiots monitoring their every action with bated breath seeking opportunities to produce more shit.

Maybe instead of trying to uninstall tripcodes from 4chan, you should instead direct your efforts towards discouraging shitty posting habits by leading by example.

Is there a thread taking up the front page like this one because it keeps being updated by a handful of idiots arguing off-topic subjects?

Maybe instead of posting in that thread and shitting it up more, you could start another thread and dump fashion related images and thoughts.

Let's hear some of your solutions.
"I want trips to leave" isn't a solution. They're as much a part of 4chan as the name, email, subject, comment, and attached file fields.

I've always wanted to be an accepted trip on a 4chan board but I like shitposting too much

>>7077985
Do both 8)

Look at TL

prime hybrid

>>7077985
Eventually you'll (hopefully) get sick of it and want to contribute

Imagine fucking around for like 4 months, and then having all that troll's remorse catch up to you and the weight of the thought of what you're actually doing

Then you adorn a trip and take the time to help out - only to receive backlash by insecure individuals hiding behind anonymity

Feels questionable man

>>7077971
you actually think people go into threads to see which trip is posting and what they posted so they can quote them and praise or hate them?

do you actually think people do that?
shiggy, fuck, again, you dont understand trips..................AT ALL

>>7078014
Of course they do

People go out of their way to find trunks' posts just so they can mock him

And if they can't find any they just start threads about how much they hate him

Now it's happening to poet. There's a thread going on right now dedicated to people shit talking him. It's really quite sad.

>>7078014
You don't need to seek them out.
People just run into them then commit to off-topic argument by returning to the thread to reply to replies.
Like what I'm doing right now with you.


>you dont understand trips..................AT ALL
Because I don't attempt to for reasons I've already explained. The fact that you think you do understand all trips and all their motives discredits you more than it discredits me. Tells me you don't understand people... at all.

>>7078070
i wish i fucked that one hot slut at the neighborhood playground that one midnight

my patrik ervell pants came in the wrong size so w/e I exchanged them and now they sent me them back in the right size but the wrong fucking colour FUCK

>>7078104
what color

some black trou in 28 just sold for $147 on ebay u shoulda jumped on htat

i wish there wasnt a 6 year age difference between us because i bet if we were closer ages you'd fuck me

fucking god fucking damn it why are you so cute

>>7078104
shipping problems are the worst
I hope your troubles are alleviated soon 8)

>yfw by the time you return the pants in the wrong color, the pair in the right color and size will be sold out, but they won't let you know until 3 days after you order them for the third time

>>7078112
I ordered grey and got emerald
it's a nice colour and I might keep them but still give me what I fucking ordered

>>7078104
never 2l8 to convert 2 superior sruli
he mite evn gif u fre panz B)))

other news these came in and they're absolutely crazy

>>7078026
no they dont. they stumble upon them in threads where they found interesting, and maybe had something to contribute, but seeing a personality where someone is trying to gain some sort of egotistical "fame" be it minor or major, they feel the need to talk shit to them, thus ruining the board even more. this would have been alleviated if trips werent a thing at all.


>>7078070
see above

i should have reworded that better. you dont understand the true intentions of what tripping was supposed to be for.

>>7078122
No anon, you're just a beta.

>>7078136
wtf color is emerald i cant rly tell from just looking on the site is it like a greenish charcoal?

>>7078168
yeah p. dark grey/ green
not really emerald but w/e that's what they're labeled as

I dislike Lunarcore

Everyone who says "autism" as a reply is a cunt

I think /fa/scist /fa/ggot is the worst poster on this board

i
want
a
dress

I'm broke and wear shit clothes.

I MISS THE OLD STICKY!

The wiki is shit and doesn't help at all

There, I said it

i'm so thirsty it's fuckin ridic

im slowly getting more and more disconnected from socializing and im getting more and more comfortable with it
though im a bit worried of losing the close friends ive got

>>7078620
are you me?

I think lunarcore is interesting but all you newcomer fuccbois need to stop copping warriors and thinking it makes your garbage fits look decent because they make it vaguely thematic

anorak needs to post more often

I almost wish the dadcore wave would return then at least we wouldn't have this legion of nitwits thinking they're 'goof' coz they wore a black tee + black jeans

our waywts are indisputably shite on the whole and probably worse than mfa's

slavcore needs to be more of a thing

I turn 25 today, im not doing anything about it

I am the youngest of the original "siegs"
yes, the fat Asian one that started posting on 4chan in 2006

>>7078659
>I think lunarcore is interesting but all you newcomer fuccbois need to stop copping warriors and thinking it makes your garbage fits look decent because they make it vaguely thematic

this

i can't help but think that some of these guys are just jumping on it just because it's the new "thing" instead of actually having an interest in it

i dont pay attention to lunar threads but afaik poet started dressing that way cuz hes always been interestd in space and stuff and out of nowhere some fuccbois come along and start bandwagonning

>>7078691
>i can't help but think that some of these guys are just jumping on it just because it's the new "thing" instead of actually having an interest in it
Basically.

I see some of the most jaw-droppingly stupid mentions of lunarcore. There are people that think it's a legit design movement that brands are following and shit.

>>7078667
happy birthday so when do I get to fuck your gf?

and as for the thread:

I like to convince anons in cop or not threads to purchase ugly as fuck things that they are on the fence about, and I am damn persuasive, mfw I've convinced anons to buy vans, janoskis, and other ugly ass mall-rat-tier shit.

I always tell people to cop when they don't post an image and just post a link in hopes that there is some hideous garment behind that 4 line long URL

Man it feels good to be a dick. Some people may think I'm joking but my core philosophy is "it's not enough that I should succeed - others should fail."

the "leejun" mentality mostly run by btards who rea the sticky is dragging board quality down
these are people wwho feel it grand to go after "tripcodes" personally and sometimes lay insecurities on them and attack atttack attack like crazed dogs thus derailing thread topic and shitting on board quality.its turning the board very stale and unpleasent

geobaskets are too big to look good

>>7076147
I fucking love your fits poet. Your the only person I've seen on /fa/ with good fits.

i wish i'd never agreed to move out with some flat mates. having to say goodbye to £650 a month sucks. it isn't that much but i could buy like, a nice jacket or shoes for that. can't wait for the contract to end

>>7076394

Strong do not cop. Despite having that Fitzgerald prose, I say it's the worst book I ever read. It's got a very downer, almost Christian, view on life, sex, etc. and it fucked with my head for a year after I read it.

The plotting is also what you'd expect from a 23 year old first time novelist doing a rush job adapting an abandoned college draft less than a third of the length in order to impress a girl.

I tell people to only read it if they have to be a Fitzgerald completist and they're at a good place in life, in a loving long term relationship.
