Yes. Having realized emptiness my body belongs to the emperor but my soul can never.

A glorious death.

Misato is the best female character ever created, in any medium. Complete, has flaws, yet still somehow not a male with a skirt. So good.

It's so juvenile but I love it. Sleep easy walrus.

>this will never be me
wtf I didn't come to /lit/ for these feels

Down, down you go
To your final rest I know
My adversary proud and true
Dropping fast out of the sky blue
To be remembered not detested
The friend I never met

Down to that fiery grave below
Back to the creator you'll show
For better or worse stuck I am
Cold plastic inside my hand.

It is anything but a good read. Elliot was a retard who couldn't lower his standards and wasted money on stupid fucking clothes.


>I am Elliot Rodger… Magnificent, glorious, supreme, eminent… Divine! I am the closest thing there is
to a living god. Humanity is a disgusting, depraved, and evil species. It is my purpose to punish them all. I
will purify the world of everything that is wrong with it. On the Day of Retribution, I will truly be a
powerful god, punishing everyone I deem to be impure and depraved.

It is unbearable to read and consists of constant repition

>try to be new sincerety in a story
>classmates call it cliched and overly sentimental
>prof agrees and gives me a bad mark
>(There were also a bunch of grammatical errors, but that's not the point)
>try to tell the prof I was being honest and sincere in an age of inauthenticity and that should give me a good mark
>he says it doesn't matter if I'm sincere, I need to be a good writer

How can I win with new sincerety if I can never make it with not being ironic? Is there even hope for new sincerety now?
