If traps are men gifted with a femininity such as to make them indistinguishable from beautiful women, under what pretense can we say that finding them arousing is gay?

We do get the odd contemplative pear from time to time, so if by any chance instead of congratulating you on your bold fashion choices it muses on the meaning of life, fret not, we will reimburse you fully.

I'm posting a sentence of my own writing in this thread.

Phuc Stevenson was a postman in Mansfield, a suburb of Dallas.

A roar streaks the air of the woods all around the track as the throttle is squeezed deep on the floor, the engine screaming down the straight before a slight flick of the steering wheel sends the car barrelling through the downhill right of turn one flat out, followed immediately by turn two and bringing it to what is, possibly, the greatest sequence of corners anywhere in the world: left, right, left, right, left, every single part of the car working in unison with the others to make the impossible seem effortless, and uphill and left along the Dunlop curve, preparing for the first and fastest of the Degner followed by its tricky little brother which guards the underpass, through the right hand kink that sets up the sweeping hairpin and slingshotting around the long curve of twelve, a few seconds of breathing before launching one of the finest machines ever devised by man into Spoon curve and its double apex, hoping to dear god that the tyres and aerodynamic forces will see it through, and, then, looking for the line of minimal resistance through the tight back straight, the slight bump of the overpass a reminder that one of the most feared names in the sport, 130R, is coming up and it will tolerate nothing less than absolute commitment and speed while the chicane that follows will ask for complete mastery of the brakes and the trust that more than six hundred kilos of engineered folly will obey dutifully and, once through, won’t make a mess of the gentle nursing of the gas needed for turn eighteen to enable the best run along the pit straight and into another lap.

Poor phillip never saw the angry man walk into his room, and hardly felt the perforation from the weapon that soiled his body. Now 2000 years later his ghost still haunts the scene of his hapless demise which has been replaced with a Wendy's.

>>10939125
you seem like a man after my own heart

A very continuous flow of questions and confusion steamed from his mind and there were no answers; just thoughts, uneasiness, a general inquisitiveness to the facade of normality we all put up.

It really was true, that I had to pee.

>>10939444
"Inquisitiveness to the facade of normality we all put up" reads horribly.

Your character sounds like an obnoxious middle-school pseudo-philosopher fedoralord. Unless that's who you're trying to voice, I'd try again.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

There was nothing that insinuated the strange happenings that would befall that evening: The warm summer breeze toyed with the desiccated grassland surrounding a rustic farm cottage and thin wafers of loose paint danced with the wind and, every so often, removed themselves from the decrepit wooden walls and journeyed wherever the hastened air would fancy.

The intrusion of their thoughts was complete, nothing left of me now.

However when she'd finally turned towards the polished glass to drink in the sight of her physique, transformed, she was instead greeted by something resembling more the black-skinned Ro’aq of the Northlands than she did any woman - a result that both parties had found decidedly disagreeable.

What it was that she remembered best of all was the fixed glassiness of his eyes as they stared out at her from beneath a still sheet of liquid, and the cheeks she had once regarded with a curious abashedness, now considerably fuller, bloated and putrefying in the shallow water, dimples and all.

>>10938434
OP is a faggot.

three paragraphs of works that I had been working on

Seorang pelukis berdiri di hadapan lukisannya di lobi Muzium Azroth, tersenyum dan membongkokkan sedikit badannya sebagai tanda penghormatan untuk setiap pengunjung yang datang. Alfred Kreud, panel sejarawan Azroth merupakan penyokong utama yang mendukung kepentingan karya hasil tangan Frojd untuk menjadi sebahagian dari pengisian Muzium.

Georg Fjord Aleexen, bakat dan aset baru bumi Azroth, berasal daripada tengah-tengah ibu kota Azroth, Micciuni, muncul di kalangan komuniti kecil artisan Micciuni sepuluh tahun lalu. Pada mulanya Fjord dididik secara khusus oleh Peuler Rotov, seorang ahli seni halus visual Micciuni. Tiga tahun terakhir sebelum karyanya dihargai penduduk Azroth dan mencapai status selebriti, Fjord dikatakan telah menolak pengaruh Peuler daripada untuk terus kekal menjadi muridnya.

Gaya lukisan oriental yang melambangkan estetik dan sensitiviti budaya Azroth mula hilang daripada karya baru Fjord. “Cuma menterjemah minda penduduk Azroth pada zamannya. Menarik keluar dilema, permasalahan tipikal dan identiti jiwa yang Azrothian yang penduduk Azroth sendiri tidak nampak dalam diri masing-masing,” tulis Fjord dalam surat, kepada akhbar yang mengajukan butir soalan dalam surat untuk menemu ramahnya.

I can tell you live a sketchy life.

She stared, face flush and breathing heavy. Her lips parted slightly as a breathy moan escaped from them. Two turgid nipples tented the fabric of her shirt, which now hugged her curves damp with sweat. Her thights rubbed together conspicuously, a patch of almost imperceptible wetness spreading across her crotch.

>>10941167

I don't quite understand why others like this. I read it as trying a little too hard.

Of course you can say that it trying hard is a part of the tone of facade.

Future developments could lead to improved efficiency of lossless compression for application domains such as medical imagery, where storage capacity is a problem due to the need of preserving high resolution, distortion-free images while maintaining archives easily available over medical networks.

In this way, meta-irony is the consequence of attempting to derive meaning from post-ironic communication which, by its very nature, obscures its meaning in impenetrable ambiguity.

Repel, with what is best, that evil. We are most knowing of what they describe. Not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel evil by that deed which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity will become as though he was a devoted friend.

I am not the guy you're replying to, but Baroque prose and Baroque poetry are the only things worth writing.

By Baroque I mean heavy in artifice. In this sense, Dante and Homer are Baroque too. The Catalogue of Ships is the invention of Baroque and, as such, the single most important and relevant piece of literature ever created.

"Hello" I said. He said nothing being a man of mystery. I walked away and drank a drink. The word "yummy" entered my mind but it turned out that I was in fact eating the man who had ignored me. He was never alive, he was in a grave and I was at a funeral. The priest puked at the sight, people looked at me in disgust and then I woke up. I was dreaming.

Nothing reminds people of their place in the world than a dick in the ass.

The snake had attacked from below, prompting Sigthir to rise his purified sword once and engage it with the ground of the Northern Seat with such only-divinely-possible and inconceivable force that the entirety of Hyperborea shattered and fell with all its golden weight onto the snake, who fell with it all the way down to the mortal realm and was buried deep below the mountain that resulted from the collapse once the mass had hit the ground.

All the important questions are utterly untractable, but we can't stop asking.

This black blood clot of the brain scribbled, incessantly, on the inside of his head. There was no rest, and no compulsion to do anything, either. He became resigned to a limbo-state of passive anxiety over nothing.

26 letters hold within everything that was, everything that is, and everything that will be. Yet they are at their most precious when transcending those three.

The mangled old cur rests serenely on a crumbled step, spent by the cantankerous agressions of the day; spotted and diseased, it respires quietly against the dour concrete.

>your own writing
This brings to mind a question I've been thinking about a lot lately which is how does one devolope one's own style of writing?
I've written small bits of things that are stylized and even somewhat unique but i can't seem to do it consciously.
Any tips/thoughts?

>>10939119
nice stuff
like the lack of adjectives, and how the longer sentence adds a feeling of confusion in the reader, seeing all these fast clauses go by, instilling the speed of the race in the poetics.

Thought out on many levels. Good job.

>>10958872
>This brings to mind a question I've been thinking about a lot lately which is how does one devolope one's own style of writing?
You don't. What the idea of "style" has become is one of the great cancers of contemporary art. You strive to make good art, not to make a style.

>>10958891
So basically what you're saying is just write something and if its good and unique it will be good art and therefore stylized by virtue of being good and unique?
So don't set out to write something stylish or different, set out to write something good?
That said, is it wrong to embrace something you've written that is both good and stylized and try to write that way specifically?

>>10958891
Don't listen to this guy. He's clearly just over reacting to recent trends of trying to be constantly ground breaking
Theres nothing wrong with having your own style. It's not something you work on or develop, its just a by product of you being a person
In the same way your diction will develop and change as you grow older and are exposed to new things so will your writing style

>>10958891
>>10959028
Seems to me that what the both of you are saying doesn't necessarily conflict.
But thanks for the answers. Puts my mind at ease a bit. I guess I'll just write and let my "style" develope on its own.

>>10959028
>Theres nothing wrong with having your own style.
Way to misinterpret what I said. I didn't say it was wrong to have a style, because a style is something that inevitably shows up as you develop your trade; what I'm saying is that it's dumb to pursue style.
