Waldun working tirelessly on his proses

The Don and his typewriter are never far apart

The beginning of a beautiful journey

How do you guys think Waldun feels about niggers?

IMPORTANT: Waldun claims that he was offered £2300 for The Learned Disguise by a publisher - a piece of information I have never before heard.

>>19802983
clearer image of the demand :)

Where the master draws his inspiration

Waldun spills the beans

>>19802988
> The is text is rhythmic, engaging and poetic in its classic style.
I can't continue reading this.

He has quite a few of these cute little doodles with what I can only assume are poems of his. This one can clearly be seen to draw from the same creative inspiration as The Academy

In fact, only three of said doodles have a poem attached

speaking of three

I'll only post a few more of the Don's Doodles, two of his heroes

>>19803019
>One poem made me laugh
>so hard,
>that I marked up
>-Shit, I can’t fart!
>with my pencil’s mark.

And the man himself

This is an important one to me. Waldun used to have a page on one of his websites with a list of his favourite books. Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake were on there... two books he had not read. Yet still made it onto a list of his favourite books. This page, which I'm certain was archived on waybackmachine, now seems unreachable. This is the only surviving document of that page, in which can clearly be seen that Waldun read 80 page of Ulysses before giving up, yet it's still on this list :) (of course the don has since read Ulysses and shared his insightful thoughts on Jamie Joyce's proses)

There are other snippets, though none of great importance. Waldun still has LOTS of his little essays posted in text on the community tab, which should be archived if waldun ever does decided to delete them, and I have screenshotted a few of the many. For now, I will leave it there, hopeful that I have played some part in the documentation of Waldun's journey. Hopeful that he will no longer give in to urges of deletion, be proud of his past, and let the proses flow!

>>19802983
No, you misunderstood. The publisher wanted Waldun to pay them £2300 so they could get capital to publish and market his book. No doubt the publisher in question is a vanity publisher. This is common practice for vanity publishing, which is outdated in the age of self-publishing.

>>19802978
Probably despises them like any person with eyes and ears. He looks like he would apologize to them after a mugging, however.

>>19803034
That's the line he marked up. I am assuming he was reading Bukowski.
Also how were your problems not with

>He looks like he would apologize to them after a mugging, however.
One time I got mugged and after the nigger was done I said
>Same time next week?
He was startled but said
>Yeah CRACKA! I'll rob yo dumb ass next week at da same time at da same place! Yo bitch ass betta have mo money doe!
Little did he know I know quite a few guys in the local Police Department. So the same time next week he tried to rob and conveniently my officer friends showed up at the same time and shot that nigger in the head because they thought he was going to shoot me. Haha! Stupid nigger never even knew what hit him!

Jesus christ. How the fuck did you find these?
I leaked his discord long ago and man, I completely forgot about his poetry phase until now. If you thought his prose was bad..

R.C. Waldun is my creative writing teacher. At first we were all impressed with him. He was young and apparently talented (published while still in high school). He wowed us with his successful YouTube channel and told us about him becoming published in high school. We all felt lucky to get such a talented writer as our creative writing teacher.

Then he started teaching. Let's just say he didn't really know what he was doing. He kept repeating platitudes. He didn't know how to give feedback on any of our submissions. He would mark things as grammatically incorrect or suggest placing commas here and there, but his corrections were always grammatically incorrect. One of use pointed this out to him and said these types of corrections actually weren't helpful. He then pulled the minority card and said you can't correct a nonnative speaker on their grammar. He said if we continued this line of thought he would have no choice but to report us to the universities diversity affairs office.

After his lackluster teaching ability, we delved further into his supposed literary career. Turns out he is not actually published (self-publishing is not real publishing), the book he self-published is dogshit, and the rest of his writing is mediocre autofiction full of grammatical mistakes. So I went and complained to a department head about them letting someone with such a track record teach creative writing. I mean R.C. literally has no qualifications. I asked the department head if they ever checked out his qualifications or why he was allowed to teach a creative writing class. The department head said they were short on faculty and needed someone, anyone, to cover the class. Turns out they didn't even check his qualifications, and just hired him because he applied and because he said he wrote a book. After my meeting with the department head they said they would make sure he never steps foot in another creative writing classroom again until he becomes a legitimately published writer.

I couldn't fucking believe it. Now we just make fun of this dweeb behind his back. Pretty much every day in class he brags about how he and his friends are reviving the Beat movement. Or he talks about his upcoming novel L'Academie and how much his editor loves his prose. We asked him what publishing house his editor works at and he clammed up. He admitted that he hired the editor. Someone in the class who has real talent explained to him that you don't hire an editor. Your publishing house has one and your work with the editor at your publishing house for free. Waldun got really angry and told them to shut up and said some bullshit like "Who's the creative writing teacher here? Who has a book published?" The dude's a joke. I can't believe the University of Melbourne hired this dweeb. Probably a diversity hire anyways.

Does vanity actually do any leg work or marketing for authors? Feels like spamming /lit/ with ads and shill threads is more fruitful.

Quit shilling yourself dude it's not amusing anymore.

>>19804377
I wrote this. Surprised someone saved it! I wrote in response to Waldun saying he was teaching creative writing after school at his old high school.

>>19804431
This is almost a year old. April 15th is when I saved it. Very funny copypasta, Anon. Keep it up!

granted I don't come here much but I don't understand this obsession with R.C Waldon, does /lit/ think he's cringey or something ?

>>19804782
The dude thought he was a literary superstar. Then people outside of his family and social circle read his ESL gibberish and he realized he is actually a hack. Sadly it took him two failed novels, both of which he thought were literary landmarks, to realize this. He is currently OD'ing on copium by claiming he actually isn't a writer but really a videographer and fashion designer.

>>19804870
Waldun is mixed race but it's barely ever mentioned on these threads. If you're complaining about right-wingers making fun of you for having an Asian ancestor we don't care--these threads are about our man: Waldun.

>>19804912
source?

>>19802983
That's pretty clearly a vanity publisher. Its a good thing he didn't fall for it.

Waldun is pretentious and vain but Dark Academia is far from the worst trend on the web right now and there are worse things a kid can do with their time besides imitating people they like and trying to get others to read more.

>>19803256
Name of Book?

>>19802947
Is it true he has a white gf

>>19804985
Sadly he fell for the vanity editor when it came to L'Académie.

>>19805010
>gf
Beard.

>>19804974
He's half Russian (i.e. the whites that were mogged by the Huns & Mongols and frequently look Asian anyway). He tried to attribute aspects of The Learned Disguise to his "Russian heritage."

>>19805275
gotta say i much prefer the wide-eyed innocence of the learned disguise than bitter snarky waldun

>>19804377
I saw R. C. Waldun at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off.

When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

This is /lit/ and you faggots are illiterate lmao. What a faggot ass board, obsessed with some fat ugly chink because he's on YouTube.

I've been thinking of drafting up on article on Waldun. It's something that would take a lot of time, so I'm not sure if I really have the availability to work on it. But it's something I would like to write and submit to someone like the NYT or New Yorker as a story. Waldun fascinates me and I think he would make a great write-up. Kind of a cautionary tale about internet echo chambers and cults of personality.

>>19805792
Must've caught him at a bad time

>>19804870
I have some relatives that are quarter Asian like that. They're pretty much white people but you can tell something is off about them. Kind of like Slavs, except shorter.

>>19807476
i'd read that shit! the only downside is that nothing really dramatic has occurred, apart from his book being torn apart by anonymous internet posters and a welsh bear over the course of a few days in august of 2021. waldun hasn't even had a proper lolcow meltdown, he just apologizes and moves on every time he gets exposed

>>19807757
>waldun hasn't even had a proper lolcow meltdown
He has deleted multiple videos which show him praising The Learned Disguise as a masterpiece. He really did try to erase its existence from the internet, or at least make it as hard as possible to get your hands on a copy of the book, legally.

Outstanding scholarship in this thread. I commend you for your diligence and service, Waldunbros.

>muh sitting in cafes because I’m artistic

>Treat Your Ideas Like A Pet Dog

>A bad idea usually peters out, but a good idea grows on me like a pet dog. I have to take it to lunch, to a library, to a café, but I’ll never take it to a cinema.

>Sometimes it grows on me so much that my life begins to revolve around it. Everything: eating, hanging out, partying, etc. They’re just things I have to get done before I can turn the idea into a video, a blog post, or a snarky auto-reply to e-mails in my spam folder.

>But I have to stop myself from executing the idea straight away because just like a pet dog, I need to walk it before it’s halfway tolerable. I need to let a good idea sit for a while before it balloons into something with substance.

>This usually looks like:

>1: Sitting at a café for an hour before the waiters chase me away

>2: Reading the first paragraphs of 10+ books at a bookstore

>3: Accidently bumping into someone I know in the streets and end up buying them a coffee

>4: Playing the first 4 seconds of Helikopter, Helikopter on repeat in my apartment

>Eventually, I’ll feel bloated. I can no longer carry the idea around because it’s too heavy. At that point, I have to let it go and put it out into the world.

>But I’ll never let a pet dog go in the same way.

I liked Waldun 1.5 years ago, but his latest uploads are so empty and so stuck up on his ass, I don't watch them anymore.

>Hello guys. I looked into myself and I thought I should be a more broader human being. Here's what to expect from this channel from now on. Also, my sponsor..

>>19810231
He's really only making these videos to fulfill contracts he's signed with advertisers and to shill his new "course" on skillshare. I'm assuming he has a contract with skillshare to make so many courses per quarter and to shill them so many times per month in his videos. He's just approaching the January deadline and is realizing he will be sued unless he does some shilling.

Im going to be honest, I dont understand the connection at all. Has he even owned a dog? What does he mean he has to walk it for it to be tolerable? Does he hate dogs? I dont understand what hes getting at

>>19811066
I think he's referring to the fact that if you don't walk your dog to tire it out it can be a big ball of energy pestering you. Really not sure though. Asians are famous for hating dogs.

Well there you go.

I miss the old Waldun, straight from the Go Waldun
Chop up the soul Waldun, set on his goals Waldun
I hate the new Waldun, the bad mood Waldun
The always rude Waldun, spaz in the news Waldun
I miss the sweet Waldun, chop up the Beats Waldun
I gotta say, at that time I'd like to meet Waldun
See, I invented Waldun, it wasn't any Waldun
And now I look and look around and there's so many Walduns
I used to love Waldun, I used to love Waldun
I even had the brown blazer, I thought I was Waldun
What if Waldun wrote a book about Waldun
Called "I Miss The Old Waldun"? Man, that'd be so Waldun
That's all it was Waldun, we still love Waldun
And I love you like Waldun loves Waldun

god this is so fucking awful lmao

>>19814937
we're gonna finish what solanas started

So I watched Waldun's latest video. HIs main point seemed to be that you should take an author/artist that you like and look at who influenced them to expand your knowledge and find new creatives. Yet the example that Waldun gave was that he really liked Truman Capote, then discovered that he had a stalker, Andy Warhol. This is completely different to the original point Waldun was supposedly making. Warhol didn't influence Capote, Capote influenced Warhol. It's the other way round.
Also, Waldun claims that he "knew bits and pieces about Andy Warhol's work, but [he] wasn't exactly invested in the guy". Yet in his video "5 Great Books For Storytellers - Recommendation For Writers" Waldun expresses an avid like for the Warhol book that he was reading - perhaps indicating that Waldun knew slightly more about Warhol than he would like us to believe before discovering him through Truman Capote. Food for thought.

>>19815131
All of his videos are contradictions desu, its because he tries to be someone hes not and the facade is lost

>>19802947
He's the most chinky looking Asian I've ever seen. It's pretty disturbing to look at.

>>19815131
>>19815256
He's (hilariously) plagiarizing "Steal Like An Artist" in all of his latest videos/journal entries.

>>19802947
If I become friends with him will he give me access to his art hoe groupies? The whites for fucking and the chinky ones for snuggling.

Always seemed like a pretentious teenager that should grow out of it but probably wouldn't.
