As much as frogs are a bit annoying. Frogs really shouldn't get killed off; it would feel weird if it happenend, it would leave a void in the already degrading soul of the chans. It's like removing the sausage or beer out of German culture. I think the chans are still able to make "memes", but people just don't care anymore, thats what I believe.

today basically marks 1 year of writing non stop and i realized how much my high school education on literature and writing fucked me up.

my teachers really forced in how symbolism and themes were important in a story and how there needs to be MEANING or some moral message; even when i thought it was pure bull shit as a student. i got punished and treated like an idiot until i complied and wrote paragraphs of literal bullshit by over-analyzing every detail like they wanted. it made me hate writing and books.

i liked supposedly garbage stories like game of thrones and attack on titan (up until their rushed endings) and those are what sold the most around the world too.

so i'm trying to unfuck myself and trying to enjoy writing for a webcomic i'm trying to create, but so many articles i found early on kept pushing the same bullshit about how theme is so important, when it's looking more and more like it's an afterthought after the story is completed and looked on as a whole and entirely subjective. i felt like i wasted an entire year learning that i should have just written what i thought was fun, interesting and coherent than trying to wrap my head around some stupid message/moral i knew i'm incapable of delivering because i'm not some life guru or philosopher. i don't believe ANYONE is in a position to tell someone how to live their fucking lives and what decisions they make except maybe their parents.

tl;dr, how do i just relax and write what is fun instead of worrying about the theme meme?

>be shy kid growing up
>read books for escapism from shitty life
>people start assuming I'm smart
>feel pressured to say smart things
>now everyone thinks what I say is smart even when it's stupid
what even is the measure of being smart? if everyone perceives me as being wise, does that mean I'm actually wise? or am I just surrounded by idiots? And if I'm surrounded by idiots, doesn't that make me smart by comparison? I feel like a retard :(

>Two years later don't remember anything besides the gold/silver autism

B-but anon I just stopped. My eyes sting and water... how much longer must I go on?

Are Evola and Guenon actually fascists or is it just a meme?

I've always wanted to be Napoleon, but I'm just Julian Sorel.

What I thought was a "short story" idea turned into 20,000 words and I'm only halfway through. My biggest problem right now is keeping track of all the characters at once. I keep accidentally focusing on 2 or 3 and then the rest disappear because I forget they exist.
