I feel like people and adolescents nowadays are more infatuated with or watch more anime and play more video games than they do read books or watch movies and TV due to a lot of reasons, mainly accessibility, relatability, and helping someone tap into one's creative potential. Therefore, it's one reason as to why you might find a teenager that's watched Hunter X Hunter but not Breaking Bad at some point in their life due to how it interconnects with their own life more so than contemporary television.

While I am not dissing films and television by any means necessary, I can't help but think that, coming from experience, a lot of our youth have grown deluded with society's sense of creative control, and it has been ever-growing stagnant due to lack of guidance (whether it be from home, education, or our own oeuvre) or resources (whether it be public funding, self-funding, etc.)

/lit/, i have read no longer human seventeen times. this has to stop. i require books that are more blackpilled than no longer human, and ideally revolve around similar themes (suicide, loss of loved ones, sexual abuse, trauma and general hopelessness etc.)
I eagerly await your recommendations. Thank you.

I think I might've passed the point of no return for my social life. I'm in university, and last year was the best for me socially. I was massively depressed, but I had some close friends I saw a lot and met many acquaintances through them. Never really went out, but we were all massive nerds anyway so I did;t mind at all. even had a long-distance gf. Over the summer I ended the relationship, and this term only a handful of my friend moved back to university. I didn't mind, since I was used to being single and I'd never had more than two-five friends in my life before last year anyway. Thing is, my friends have stopped talking to me. No idea why. we didn't have an argument, we still (seemingly) had a good time the last time we hung out over a month ago. So at this point I have no social connections. I spend all day every day alone aside from when I go home for the holidays. I guess my concern is this; if I'm completely alone in university, the easiest time in one's life for making friends, am I doomed to live alone forever? I've never been social, so my lack of initiative in seeing my friends more probably contributed to my current situation. even so, I would still lie to have a friend or two, and maybe even start a family one day. seems like that's out the window, though. aside from the anomaly that was last year, I've been sliding more and more into antisocial tendencies my whole life. I knew that I would eventually end up completely alone aside from seeing my parents/sibilings on holidays eventually since that's the logical endpoint of the general trends of my life. I guess I just didn't expect it to happen so soon. I could well have 70+ years of isolation ahead of me.

Fuck this wife murdering piece of shit.

Why is Japan infatuated with this edgelord?

I want to become an actual good writer but most of the advice I can find online seems really obvious and essential (like writing every day) or just kind of stupid and irrelevant. Does anyone have any advice for me, or also advice on how to actually get started writing a story? Also what length of story should I start with writing?

What the movie covered:
>his first and last lover's suicide attempts
>Villon's Wife
>how he got the material for Setting Sun
>the writing process for No Longer Human
>his friendship with Sakaguchi Ango--the writer of Discourse on Decadence (but not with Oda Sakunosuke, the writer he wrote the eulogy for)
>the post war inflation
>his affairs
>his living conditions and consumption (TB)
>the argument with Mishima

It did not cover:
>his other suicide attempts, college years, family relations, the writing of Goodbye or Return to Tsugaru
it also only glanced over his drug addictions and alcoholism

Who the fuck does this little faggot think he is belittling the utilitarian purpose of the railway station bridge?

Drink, fuck, then kill yourself
