What the fuck bros. I'm not going to hold his race or anything against him but I feel completely invalidated by his creative genius and shamefully I am secretly glad his culture is based heavily on oral tradition so that he may never get proper recognition, spitting in the face of my hard-fought dream of writing.

Looking at that picture makes me feel embarrassed for some reason.
