Every single time I see his face I fantasize about killing him. Curb stomping his face. Stepping on his stomach while he lays down on the ground. Executing him Hotline Miami style. Beating him up with a baseball bat or a crowbar or something like that. And then I hear his voice and all these feelings are intensified. I hear his voice and I just want to know what sounds he'll make while he dies. How would a cry of despair sound like, coming from his vocal cords that would soon be destroyed together with his head and skull and shitty brain. I wonder how his face would look like all bloated up from being punched and kicked. I want to see, in detail, the purple around his eyes. I want to touch it and hear him groan in pain, moan in pain, ask for me to finish him, asking for mercy, for swiftness, for God, forgetting all his endeavors in poetry and prose and non-fiction and trying to use his brain to devise a way to get out of wherever I'd put him. He would fail. I feel I wouldn't need to do much to prevent him from escaping. I feel this "man" has never felt an ounce of true suffering in his life that's not provoked by the whore he fell in love with dating a real man instead of him. I feel he'd give up pretty quick.
He'd show his true colors. His blood green instead of red. Not bones but an exoskeleton. Just like the bug he is. Yea, that's how I'd crush him: like the bug he is...

Speaking of youtubers, has this sissy ever been mentioned on /lit/?
Apparently he's one of the most popular book channels, majored in English and works in publishing. Yet he's an obnoxious midwit and hasn't even heard about some of the most famous classics ever written.
I've been watching booktubers in French, Spanish or Italian and making a YT search in English has been a shock.

No, what happened was he took the Dark Academia aesthetic (a pre-packed personality, like being goth or emo or gay) and then was like "oh fuck, I actually have a following now, I need to write something" but then because he LARP'd as a well-cultured Ivy League renaissance man, he had to make up for it by trying (horribly) to mimic Joyce, in the attempt to save face (something that the Chinese value more than honesty or anything genuine)

>> No.22013619

Oh. I thought you were trying to say he’s a better writer than 90 percent of the people here, which he probably isn’t. What does being a “lover” have to do with anything? He doesn’t look or act like the kind of person who’s ever been given the opportunity to be a lover to anyone.

Which is weird because doesn’t he live something like 10,000 miles away from the nearest Ivy League school? I assume he’s never even visited one. He’s in Brisbane or something, no? Talk about being born under a bad star for writing: living in Australia and a Chinese ESL.

It has been twenty-seven years since God gifted me out of my mother's womb and ten years since I took up the cross in his service. The Lord's will deemed that the vile be smited from Eden and we the righteous must see to it to cleanse paradisio from all those wicked.

He has entrusted you, Dr. Yoryick, with a vial that would save our souls. I, Joan of the Faith of Holy Cross, from the town of Orleans, pray to you to provide me with one such vial so that I may continue to serve the Lord in his name. It is a calling for you, and a sacrifice for I. There is no refusal, for I have seen your generosity. Visions, as you may define it, but duty for me.

Gifted inside the box accompanying this letter as you can see is a box filled with the heads of those that succumbed to the virus itself. My work isn't to tend to the weak, nor ease the suffering of those afflicted; my devotion is to the purge and return salvation to humanity. None can show mercy to these beasts, and none you will find from I. Hearts beat with every breath, and no hearts were found in the eaters of men. You need not provide me with ammunition, rations, nor blade, for my devotees, the Interitus, the Salus, and the Messorem, protect me from the beings that now wander the Earth.

Insomnia is charity, and I have an abundance of such wonder. A simple consumption of the vial and to fulfil my destiny. I devote to you, and those living in your quarters, the protection necessary to continue God's plan. Perhaps one day I will join you and cast aside the rosary, but for now, my mission calls for me. These monsters know nothing but the language of death, and I will show them death.

I will not appear before you in my saintly gown, but as a shepherd with others clean from infection. Keep the flock quarantined, they will be of service in the future. Under purgatory and the words of Saint Peter, guaranteed safety of your compound exists as long as I draw breath.
