Waldun

At least he isn't leeching off his Aunt and hanging around Paedophiles.

>>18958157
I mean in terms of writing

waldunscholars why do the threads keep getting exonerated to valhalla

Kerouac
He’s more well-read, more honest, more observant and more original than Walden, just for starters

>>18957858
Kerouac is by far better than Waldun. Even if he is largely juvenile and shallow, he could still write a few decent lines when he was on his stride. Kerouac wrote with a vision that he failed to reach. Waldun has no vision beyond passing as an erudite dandy. Any of the Beats would laugh at him.

>>18958412
The mods are trying to silence us. We must keep on making covert Waldun threads. It is the only way foward. After the discord tranny incident the mods got enraged. We must not let our work die out. We must survive.

>>18958489
These seething jannytrannies are going to pay if they keep fucking with the Melbourne Brotherhood

>>18958412
Because there are only a handful of you spamming this unfunny joke to an audience of yourselves
This place is for discussion, not your weird variety of playtime. Read an actual book.

>>18958505
>Read an actual book.
Shut the fuck up, fucking loser.

>>18957858
Jack Kerouac reincarnated into Michael Fassbender so until Wuldun reincarnates into Kim Jong Un it’s not even close

>>18958505
discussion of what?
some bluecheck overweight catlady talking about her tummy problems in purple prose?
copesetic my brunheim

The real question is, after the book, who's getting a movie adaptation of their life, Waldun or the two other kind hearted goobers?

>>18958507
crazy how getting told to read strikes a nerve with you. you must be dumb as shit irl.
>>18958515
You realize Waldun iss essentially that: a substanceless Internet personality who attracts followers through his softness and feigned vulnerability over his actual product. really don’t even see how larping as a waldun fan is even a funny joke?

>>18958454
>>18958464
I think if you read him at length it becomes apparent he's not very well-read at all. I'd say he attempts to be honest, but continually misreads the situation.
I've never read Waldun I started this thread just to talk about Kerouac though :D.

Here's my thoughts on his bibliography, which I recently completed:

Town and City (Only Skimmed, written normally, honestly bad, very bad. No discernible style)
On the Road (decent, pretty bad in parts.)
Doctor Sax (nonsense, unreadable)
Maggie Cassidy (decent, cozy, but forgettable)
Subterreans (good, but ultimately incredibly self-unaware)
Tristessa (Probably his best work)
Visions of Gerard (decent, forgettable though)
Dharma Bums (Very bad, would be decent if he didn't have the insufferable Buddhism/wisdom rants)
Desolation Angels (decent, bad in parts though)
Big Sur (On further evaluation: his best, decent overall, kind of pathetic. Everything from here on, excluding Pic is much better than his early work, aside from Subterreans and Tristessa)
Satori in Paris (good, one of his best, he’s very senile here)
Vanity of Duluoz (decent, kind of pathetic)
Pic (pretty bad)

Ranking
1. Big Sur
2. Tristessa
3. Subterreans
4. Satori in Paris
5. Vanity of Duluoz
6. Desolation Angels
7. Visions of Gerard
8. Maggie Cassidy
9. Dharma Bums
10. On the Road
11. Pic
12. Doctor Sax
13. Town and the City

Visions of Cody (horrific, skip)
Mexico City Blues (bad)
Scripture of Golden Eternity (horrific, skip)
Old Angel Midnight (bad)
Lonesome traveler (bad)
Book of dreams (bad)
Book of Blues (bad)

Dumb niggers, this is a Waldun thread, not a Kerofag thread. Now stop posting about that faggot.

>>18958539
yeh it's a joke
and you are the square faced cheeseboard german who can't get it
it's funny because everyone propped up in the book industry is a talentless fuck you dumb shit

>>18958573
me and everyone else with an informed opinion ‘doesn’t get it’
One starts to think there’s nothing to ‘get’ except a bunch of non-readers holding a grudge of muh ebil industry. Sad, but only about a handful of such cases

>>18958608
what are you informed about?
the scent of your own asscheeks?
take a good huff cheeseboard, we're still gonna make these threads

>>18958608

>>18958557

>>18958616
Informed on the shallowness of you sisters cunt.
Also, pay attention as you dilate— your threads are getting banned so clearly you won’t for long lol

>>18958624
you showed your hand pal
return to website

>>18958638
showed my hand to your sis after I pulled it shit-covered from her gaping colon; waldunfags can’t even banter, figures

>>18958642
you're really bad at writing.

>>18958680
say “cheeseboard” one more time and tell me that again, I could use another good laugh from someone so otherwise useless.

>>18958689
Hey Waldun, chill, we'll talk about Kerouac if you want to

>>18958689
calm down Hans, I know you grew up in a post-firebombed town with only bread and schnitzel to sustain you, but here in America there's this thing called humor

>>18958689
What a massive faggot. You do know you're mad over a post made on 4chan, right?

>>18958728
It really speaks to the large scale inequality inherent in America if humor is one of its virtues and you are imbued with so little, then again, it sounds like the only larger identities you ascribe to are faggot and retard

>>18957858
The Melbourne Manifesto is officially available via Target:

listen cheeseboard, no one cares about your bavarian values

>>18958750
Fair/balanced prediction:
>The Writing will be decent on a technical level.
Jay can write well as can Jaidyn. Now, that doesn't mean the writing will be great or anything but those 2 are at least capable of stringing together words. I don't think we'll see the level of nonsensical storytelling we were subjected to in L'Academie (plus TATTTC is journaling/Jay's travel writing so they won't be responsible for creating a world--only reporting on one). They'll reproduce a writing style they love but without personalizing it and making it they're own (i.e. at most it will be an ornamental homage to "muh Kerouac" sans anything interesting in itself).
>The content will be ok
Lots of mediocre art is elevated by the real-life shit that inspired it (e.g. the writing in Schindler's List is a mediocre morality play elevated by the subject matter it deals with). The normies did their homework by going around talking to mentally ill societal outcasts and odds are their takes will appeal to other normies. My prediction here is that the bare content, the reportage itself, will carry more weight than anything these guys have to say about it. Their takes will be contrived--there will be little to bring the actual character of the freaks/loners they've encountered. Basically, we'll see superficial interactions and shallow takes expressed by way of purple prose.

The deeper, more literary, meaning of their work will lie in just how out of touch they are with actual suffering.

>>18958751
>one note
I’ll say it one more time: you should read a real book sometime. maybe if you tried that you’d have something at least interesting to say.

>>18958751
This.
>>18958742
Go and eat some cheese or something, you massive faggot

>upboating your own posts
nigger you are a fucking embrassement hahaha

This is shaping up to be a shit thread, Waldunchads.
>>18958545
Redpill me on Harold Sand in The Subterraneans. I want to read the novel just for the Gaddis stand-in.

>>18958768
this is you

>>18958792
>This is shaping up to be a shit thread, Waldunchads.
The people who were contributing the best shit fled to the discord and said things should die with the redemption arc. The leftovers went into a rage about the presence of "discord trannies" ruining everything and fully killed the thread.

>>18958807
right, the joke that you’ve already done that wasn’t even funny in the first place— I’m sensing a real theme amongst you waldunites.
Honestly guy, you are reprehensible insipid. what an opportunity to flex your vocab and oyur perspicacity and you choose the self-congratulatory and boring path. enjoy intellectual squalor, it befits you.

>>18958826
huh?

>>18958826
this nigga writing like Arthur Forrest

>>18958792
>Redpill me on Harold Sand in The Subterraneans.
He's a beta that wastes his night trying to fuck the girl that is with kerouac, so then he drives them to a rich middle-aged gay mens house where Kerouac starts crying in the bedroom because he's sad, and Kerouac's girl starts cuddling with Gregory Corso, and Gaddis and the gay guy are sperging about musical records and books they've read and the architecture in Europe. The next day Gaddis drives all 3 of them (the girl, Corso, Kerouac) to the train station so they could get home to change before a party that the gay men will be at. He offers to just drive them, but they want to take the train for some reason.
Kerouac also regularly cheats on his gf by having sex with men in the novel, so when he first sees Gaddis he's very drunk and attracted to him.

>>18957858
This >>18958750 should be the content header of the next thread. TATTTC is a fitting sequel to the L'Academie Catalogue and we might get decent content out of it.

>>18957858
Kerouac because he's a real author

>>18958821
>The people who were contributing the best shit fled to the discord and said things should die with the redemption arc.
You know nothing, faggot.

>>18958897
Ok, produce some decent OC for these new threads and see if you can kick things up again. Goodluck.

See, after the ones creating most of the memes left we ended up with the echos >>18958941 of those late to the game. This guy has been trying to shill this video over multiple threads but Waldunsian Metaphysics never got off the ground. The overall meme is in a coma (if not dead). Make no mistake, this is the afterparty and it's pretty much time to go home.

Someone needs to photoshop "Clark's tears" or something on that cup.

someone paste the onions of the wii shopping channel music guy, thats basically your guy ITT who keeps moaning about discord

>>18959130

This is what's left.

>"Well, there's a lesson to be learned here, that's for sure..."
The immortal words of Clark Elieson. The man who backstabbed a preciously precocious young man named Waldun. His lizard fetish was exposed to the world and his reaction was to pretend he didn't know what people were talking about, respond in order to explain it wasn't funny and not getting to him, and then delete his initial comments as well as his Instagram because "his brand isn't about him."

On the other side, you have The Melbourne Movement. Jaidyn, the shy one, remained mostly silent but put out his first YouTube video in the middle of the maelstrom. Waldun looked inward and acknowledged his hubris (if not his pretentious ways, but he's still a young man) and decided to leave his art out there but donate the proceeds it generates to a literary charity. Jay, the wanderer, went on to publish a travelogue he composed with the others--all the while voicing support for the best aspects of Waldun's character and only mildly admonishing those aspects of the critics which actually deserved it.

This is the epilogue. Until next time...

>>18959209
I bet clark wanted to be cool and based and famous among us. That's why he lurked, I bet he wanted to be like mike ma or something. Kinda sad.

>>18959250
The snobbish side of /lit can cry about the threads all it wants. In the end, we had twists and turns and a real character arc from which a hero emerged. We even had a villain meet justice. It was a great ride.

>>18959250
