Can we have a thread about memorable characters of /lit/? We've had quite a few at this point. It has almost become a saga of storytelling in its own right, our various characters. Other than Butterfly and Londonfrog, who are some of your favorites?

I think it is mostly one anon with no life, there is a definite time period in which these posts happen. Low effort OPs often result in great threads and sometimes a good OP does not require much effort. The anon should focus more on making the sorts of threads he desires, the board is once again slow enough to keep a thread bumped for days without much effort.

Remember Feminister? It was a tripfag claiming to be a woman. Butterfly simped for it every day and every night for a very long time, and it was clear they were chatting off /lit/ (Butterfly used to be a big camwhore with other tripfags). Then Feminister accidentally left HIS trip on while posting on /adv/ and admitting HE was a man.

He was called out on /lit/ and never made a post with that trip again. But Butterfly continued to simp and dissimulate because it is very likely she had been flirting with this tranny/man in private chat for a year.

Butters lies every time when this come up but anyone who was here remembers.

i clicked that link hoping that would be the song and it was. appreciate you anon.

i'm glad you had a good time. i did too, Cosmotech was fun as hell. i think it was a wave caught at just the right moment, like a nice little electro dance party here on /lit/ to bug out for a while and go ape-shit thinking about stuff. there's room for these things in the universe. we threw a completely rando improvised party and people showed up and it got totally out of control, the way a good party should. that's the stuff i remember most fondly, those rad conversations where people could just about read each other's thoughts. /lit/ is a pain but sometimes it's just fucking fantastic too.

manic and no seatbelts, as you say, but there was definitely something really interesting going on for a spell. there surely wasn't a more fun place elsewhere for me to be, internet or otherwise. and it formed this weird little artifact afterwards, like a little crystal of life as it was lived at warp speed for a few months, weirdness and all. probably worth doing even if it's hard to say exactly why. maybe someone else will figure it out someday, or just go in there and mine it for Whitehead and Land quotes to finish an overdue essay. besides the philosophy greentext stuff i just really got a kick out of sharing music and art too.

give a listen to these guys some time, they're terrific.
