I have made some stupid shit in the past, like a time traveller going back in time to save junko furuta itaots style it picked up a bit of steam. Currently, im working on rwby shit. In this fic, ruby grapples with the nature of her semblance. Her power is to disassemble her molecules and turn into a flurry of scarlet petals, then rearrange her molecules to form ruby again. That got me thinking, is the ruby pre semblance activation, the same ruby post semblance activation?

Her struggles with this are written in my fic, where she has an existential crisis

>>17369404
how do i rotate

Currently working on a few short stories for publication that I feel read good about.

Other than my philosophical writings, I’ve wrote a novella at some point. Currently working on another longer work but it’ll be much much longer, basically going to be a diary of a fellow which I’ll use an outlet to dress all of my poetry, random ideas and philosophical/occult reading/ranting into one narrative.

>philosophical writing
What are those writings about? Existentialism?

finished a screenplay a couple of days ago. it took me about two years to write it, in between being distracted by working and studying. will probably never show it to anyone but it was a good practice in structuring i think. next thing i do i will probably outline like a feature film, but then write it like a novella, since i'm realising getting a film made is impossible for me, since i'm way too schizoid and avoidant to become friends with the people who make them.

>>17369515
publication where buddy?

>>17369608
Nah, not a fan of existentialism.

The major the major Philosophical influences i have. husserl, hegel, meinong, agrippa, boehme, John Dee, Kenneth grant, Iamblichus, Bertiaux, Abhinavagupta, Deleuze, gikatila, Linji, abulafia, merleu-ponty, Ge-Hong, Laruelle and various others, my model is a kind of Christian mystic heavy kabbalistic Neoplatonic Rosicrucian Post modern non-Philosophical (in the laruelle sense )Typhonian tantric taoist Phenomenology-ontology-theology-meonology system.

It’s a bunch of autism and looks like schizophrenic ranting if read without the context.

I've posted a lot of pretty decent kink erotica. Kind of tired of having a fanbase I dislike so much, though, so I'm shifting gears and working on SFW writing instead. I don't really have the same kind of passion for it that I did for erotica, but I'm really losing interest in writing stuff when it's the same few hundred ghouls that get enjoyment out of it. At least if I publish a novel, either I won't know so much who's reading it or I'll know that nobody's reading it, and neither is really any worse than knowing and disliking the people reading it.

>>17369404
I wrote a poem the other day, but I can't into poetry for shit, so i'll just keep it to myself as it is cringy and bad.

>>17370067
ain't fokin telling /lit/. You crazy?

>>17370470
Why not buddy?

>>17370484
Just know I'm a better writer than you.

>>17369404
>Have you made anything lately?
not writing, but I have been diving into arts and crafts. I have a bad habit of hoarding crafting items and tools, and then never making anything. The day before yesterday, I made my first FIMO figurine, yesterday I made a bracelet, today I'm making another FIMO thing

>>17370272
Why not post it? I over post my poetry here but I sometimes get some very good critique and recommendations, the interaction can also push you to write more.

Post your poem anon, If it’s pretty or petty ill be honest with you about its qualities.

I wrote a short anthology of poems and short stories, what I try to achieve with my "flowery" descriptions is to create vivid, and beautiful pictures in the readers mind as well as conveying strange emotions. My writing has several, contradictory themes, so it will probably annoy/anger you no matter your position/views on life.

Here is a screenshot of it

Here’s the last poem I’ve written, it’s to be recited as incantation/chanting as most of my poems ought to be read, it’s called for the one sleeping gently upon a bed of stone.

I passed among silver trees
who’s fruit singed gold songs
abounding in the never old
dreams of the daily born dancing Dawn

the sky image drawn
of the softest smile
ever forgotten
and yet remembered

silent slithers the secret serpent
the Wolf Wails in the wintry wastelands
terrible talons toy with dead flesh
but All-blest sees the eye of the Heart

soft and plain is the scent
which renders the heavens Rent
beauty lays herself bare
if you look without a care
The poem has precisely 111 syllables which is the same as “Aleph”‘’s full value in Hebrew gematria, Aleph is the highest Nondual point in Kabbalah denoting the prime causation, the Nonduality of creation and God, the Breath, silence and so forth. It is also the value of “pele” wonder, the wondrous, a name of God denoting the unspeakable and ineffable nature of the Godhead.


The first Stanza has precisely 29 syllables, 29 is the gematria value of “hadit” the thelemic Godform denoting the Nondual unity of the first cause with being, how divinity is hidden within the interior of all things, it is coupled with the second stanza which has 20 syllables, 20 is the gematria value of the letter Kaph which is the wheel of fortune in the tarot which is another way of speaking of the world of appearances, the external world, the world that ever changes.

Thus the first and second stanza are a marriage of the internal divinity and the external world of appearances. Together they have 49 syllables, 7 denotes completion within hermetic Kabbalah, 49 is 7 x 7 which is thought to be how the interior of each of the 7 planets/days/aspects of creation are filled with the various modifications of the other seven, which is to say they exist in perichoresis and reflection. Thus the two stanzas being coupled denotes the entirety of creation as 49, which is harmonious with their meaning as the units of 29 and 20.

The specific imagery of the first two stanzas are drawn from a spiritual vision I actually had, Trees in Kabbalah denote the Spiritual being of individuals, the “golden Fruit” would be the spiritual fruition, the divinity in harmony with these spiritual lives, it is both “never old” because it is beyond transience as this is the internal world where spirit is married with divinity, yet this Nondual unity dreams (maya, the illusion world is a dream, relative experience, partial experiences and change are symbolically the dream world in various occult and religious systems)

So the unity dreams of the “daily born dancing Dawn” which is to say, the progression of Time understood as a ever-renewal process in which constantly is reborn the eternal Being of nature, which is the dance of creation,

CONT

>>17370619
the maya Dance of shiva, which is the Dawn due to the symbolic nature of the sun/tiphereth As the harmony/reason that pervades nature, this is because the sun is always reason in Kabbalah, Hegel defines reason as the philosopher stone hidden in creation in his philosophy of right.

This leads us into the dream itself, which is the second stanza, “the sky image”

What is a sky image, it is an image seen in the sky, a cloud. Which is a reference to how this world of relative experience is ever passing like the clouds, but yet the image drawn is ever but one image.

The softest smile, smiles denote denote friendliness, harmony, friendship, symbolically the smile of the sky is the crescent Moon, the moon is in the Hebrew and hermetic systems the absolute symbol of the illusionary world, because unlike the other planets it’s changes and movements are so much more constant that it even changes its form, this along with its control over the tides and associations with lunacy would denote the Moon as the ultimate symbol of conceptual transience, the paradox being that change does not change, transience is not subject to transience.

Thus the two lines, ever forgotten and yet remembered which is a reference to platonic Anamnesis, the forgetting and Remembering of the platonic world of forms, the eternal world. Thus the illusionary world of Vision itself is being used to remember and return to the primal friend, the eternal god, the illusion itself is pointing towards the true nature of reality. This is followed through with the third stanza.

The Third stanza is written in lines of 9 syllables each, 9 is the number of the moon in hermeticism, Renaissance astrology and Kabbalah because it is the 9th sphere in the chaldean order when you count the sphere of stars and the prime mover, thus 9 the illusionary force becomes the primary momentum force of the stanza, prior the other two stanzas were written in different syllable counts, the first stanza not being uniform in syllable account to denote the chaotic unity which pervades the pre-manifest kether-tohu-wa-bohu, they are unified as elements in one part but not in harmony. The second stanza is 5 syllables long, 5 denotes the pentagram which is the 5 elements which compose reality, solid liquid, gas and plasma and the invisible spiritual harmony which pervades these all, this is spirit fire water air and earth, these also correspond to the name of God which rules over creative force in the natural world ALHYM(Elohim) and this corresponds to the sphere of gross phenomena in Kabbalah, gevurah. In any case the third stanza is 36 syllables long, 36 is the number of mercury which is the medicine, the changing force, and represents the power of magical change, the transmutation of forces. The transmutation subject is the change of illusions into the eternal reality.

The stanza describes three forms of earthly life which denote the three worlds which man lives in

alright buddy best of luck

Is this autism?

>>17370724
physically and mentally, The Serpent representing the subterranean Zones, the horrible and darkest aspects of man’s conditions; reptilian and aquatic life.

The Wolf in broader Semitic and European culture denotes hunger and striving, wailing denotes suffering as does the wasteland and winter, the wolf denotes the mammalian but also the daily mundane life of man.

The Talons spoken of Allude to the avian creatures but also the numinous experiences that man may experience, those terrible spiritual/emotional moments which leave us without understanding, lost at the mercy of the sublime, the entirety of this stanza is demonstrating the sublime through the Sublate to demonstrate the unity of opposites, further each line contains a secret spiritual quality.

The secret serpent is esoterically the serpent of kundalini which is the concreted awareness of man, which slithers up the spine towards the pure consciousness which is in tantra understood to be shiva, kundalini in tantra being Shakti, the Mother goddess who is creation and the spirit of creation.

The Winter Wolf in the wasteland is another way to speak of that same force which is denoted by the Norse as Fenrir or as Jotun, the Wild and untrappable chaotic forces of nature and of man’s nature, the atavistic libidinal force which is the heart of creativity and the essence of Will, this is further an allegory for the Nietzschean idea of asserting your Will, your Voice in a empty place, filling it with your self nature, ensouling meaning into the empty world.

The Terrible talons are esoterically the conception of this world as if a puppet show with the puppets being the flesh and the player being the puller of the strings who is unknowable, this is again another tantric allegory.

This stanza uses alliteration 11 times, 11 in thelema denotes magical change and the harmony of the individual with God because in thelema the pentagram and hexagram are microcosm and macrocosm which when conjoint yield 11, which can either be added to itself as 2 yielding multiplicity or negating itself yielding 0 which is absolute emptiness, thus it is the number of the man-God, the messiah who is equally the unity of heaven and the multiplicity of creation, this in hermetic Kabbalah is the sun-tiphereth which is correspondent in man to the Heart.

This brings us to the final line of the third stanza,

“ but All-blest sees the eye of the Heart”

The terrible imagery of the three lines are contrasted with the true view of their interior, as all-blest spiritual mysteries, what means eye of the heart?

Cont

Started writing this today. Don't know whether it's good or not.

>>17370874
Eye denotes sight, perception, understanding, Heart denotes the interior of man, harmony in man, balance point, his inmost soul and Love. Thus the eye of the heart is the sight of the spirit, the sight of true reality, of the internal world, it is also a play on words as it is sight internal, it is “insight” so this fundamentally is “Wisdom” thus the man-God brings us to wisdom, which is Kabbalistically the man-God son messiah partzuf of Zeir anpin leading us to the “Father” Partzuf of chokmah in Kabbalah, harmony/beauty leading to wisdom.
Thus the Final stanza is approached, it has a syllable count of 26, 26 is YHVH the True name of God in the Old Testament, YHVH denotes the four worlds of Kabbalah which relate to four phenomenological levels and the four Aristotelian causes, further if you divide the letter “Aleph” it is made of the letter Vav and two yod’s, meaning Aleph is esoterically identical to YHVH in extension, thus the entirety of creation is understood as the expression of the glory of God.
The first two lines are 6 and then 7 syllables long, 6 in normative Christian belief denotes man and imperfection, 7 Denotes perfection and divinity. Their union is 13, 13 is the Gematric Value of AHBH which is Love, 13 is also the value of AChD, Unity, thus it is a common lurianic formula to say that Love+Absolute unity=26=YHVH, thus the third and fourth line are also 6 and 7 lines Long precisely.
“Soft and plain is the scent” is a reference to Taoism especially the Tao te ching which tells us the way of Heaven is so subtle and so Nondual that it has no rough qualities, it isn’t shocking but rather it is the most plain, the most universal, the most tasteless and senseless experience possible, thus this subtly is contrasted with “renders the heavens rent” which is to say, causes them to be violently ripped open, which is to say, clinging to the most universal and subtle opens the experience/perception to the Nature of God in the most potent and visceral way possible.
This is finally all completed in the last two lines in which the entire formula is stated,
“Beauty lays herself bare” beauty as in harmony of parts gives its essence, what it discloses, its interior (which is Kabbalistically understood to be the nature of tiphereth which means literally beauty’s former nature closer to God, Da’ath, knowledge, Knowledge of God)
“If you look without a care” which is to say, if you have perception without Care, but Care in this sense is the heideggerian Care structure, which is the buddhist skandas/desire aggregates, thus the final line is saying if you look at all of this world in purity of mind and perception without the flaws of clinging to partiality, to particulars, you can attain true knowledge of God as the universal Absolute.

The whole poem is Four stanzas to denote the four Kabbalistic worlds, each stanza is 4 lines each to denote the inter penetration of the four worlds within each other

>>17370844
being able to express inner states in writing is pretty much the opposite of autism

>>17370844
Yes it’s pretty autistic, all of My poems are constructed in this way, filled to the brim with esoteric aspects, gematria, secret allusions and so forth. Perhaps it sacrifices a bit of beauty or the like but I find I can only write poetry on things which inspire me, which is chiefly God, religion, philosophy and esotericism. Sometimes I am more explicit sometimes I prefer to be more hidden. But yeah that’s the last poem I’ve written.

>>17370619
i really liked your ''Mot-poem'' that you posted in the death metal lyrics thread, almost had a Joban quality to it (references to Canaanite deities and all)

>>17370513
It doesn't translate well I think

>>17370955
Thanks anon! I’m glad you enjoyed it, I have no aspirations for my poetry other than using it as a form of contemplation and as something to share with various folks. Hope I can get better!

>>17370977
Oh come now, I gave my awful autistic poem, give your own and explain your intent if you will.

Is Horror’s Call really the highest profile thing ever created from this board?

>>17371363
No, the best things to come from this board have been the multiple collaborative books subsequently published to amazon and other places. There's been magazines and publications throughout the years, but they never last very long. There's tons of authors in the /wg/ that get thousands of views too. The only reason Call is "popular" on here is because the dude paid for some ads without listening to the advice of anyone in the /wg/ threads.

>>17371385
^this, there’s multiple published dudes here, they just don’t want the poison that is associating their real names with 4chan

>>17371363
Yes it is, although apparently my success has been causing massive amounts of butthurt.

I like where its going anon. Keep it up.

>>17371363
It seems so. I'm kind of amazed Gardner's able to pump out new material so consistently.

>>17371401
They're bullshitting you, anon. All authors want to get their names out there. They're LARPers just like >>17371426 the guy pretending to be F. Gardner here.

>>17371622
Ya think so? I would never publish nor share my stuff anywhere that isn’t basically online and for free and anonymous so I don’t really get the appeal. Eh, no way to know fully, I’m sure there’s liars and I’m sure at least one person has authored and published an okay book and has posted on /lit/ and besides we know multiple e-celeb types who know this place right?

Rwby is shit

It also looks like schizophrenic ranting with context

Its not exactly a secret

Just an average dollar store ballpoint pen. How different are fountain pens compared to ballpoint pens?
