/lit/ - Literature

Sure, nothing like making new friends!

No. We have no interest in peasants. Move along.

No thanks, we're already doing something with /a/

let's play e c g progressions until the cows come home

There's naught wrong with simplicity.

>>2843903

>friends

>>2843898
But /a/ is already running around with two other boards.

We just wanted one cute gf.

>>2843920
Yeah! Don't you feel close enough to call us your friends yet, /mu/?

>>2843910
Jeff Mangum has his Proustian moments, especially for a guy who barely graduated high school in the deep south.

Past cure I am, now reason is past care,
And frantic-mad with evermore unrest;
For I had sworn /mu/ fair, and thought them bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.

>>2843924
Well, I, um, thought we were even closer than that.

>>2843924
But music sounds better with you /lit/

>>2843924

I w-was hoping that m-maybe you'd like to be our qt gf.

WE LOVE YOU

LET'S GO WALK THROUGH THE PARK, LISTEN TO YS AND LAUGH AT PEASANTS

I wouldn't say he's Proustian. King Missile is more like Proustian.

>>2843929
Why didn't you just post a >tfw no gf picture so we could end this awkward roleplay?

>mfw /mu/'s tripfag drama has ascended

All those hours of planning and somehow you people manage to blew it just when we were getting there.

Now /lit/ will never go out with us.

/lit/ is not the female in any relationship, you pretentious /mu/ twats. Find someone else to hand your plastic flowers.

>/mu/ continuously shitting up the board and not even caring

All those hours of planning and somehow you people manage to blow it just when we were getting there.

Now /lit/ will never go out with us.

>>2843940
To be fair to them, we've always been the female. If you're too misogynistic to accept that, just pretend we're a trap.

/lit/ pls

You're doing it wrong.

>>2843954
/mu/tant here. I actually thought this was well done. You have a souncloud?

Did we just get friend zoned even on 4chan?

>>2843963

I'll listen to you talk about this for hours if in return we can cuddle on the bed, and maybe even take long walks by the beach.

>>2843954
I was not expecting such a woo-ing voice.

damn, /mu/ is such a clingy bitch. /lit/ would never waste its time with such pestering, whiny homos. plus you don't meet our high standards of culture and intellect. all you do is cause problems and anger. go bother another board and quit wasting everyone's time.

Think of us as the Hemingways of 4chan. Sure we are less refined and talented than our peers, but we have this rugged animal magnetism that tricks people into thinking we are worth canonizing. It probably has something to do with collective ennui and antiquated definitions of gender roles.

>>2843981
B-but we even made that poetry thread for research.

>>2843985

No, they're terrible, even for what they are. Tryhards.

>>2843978
You're too desperate at this point.

>>2843991
Hemingway is /fit/. Eternally insecure but magnetically masculine.

>>2843990
we started a poetry thread to try to get some idead from you guys.
That was the E. E Commings one someone posted.

>>2843997

MY SPAGHETTI

>>2843992

You're coming off as clingy, desperate, twitchy and emotional. Maybe come back and discuss books with us as friends. But, I'm sorry to say, this will never be anything romantic.

>>2843994
Desperate? /sp/ is on our ass half of the day.

>>2843996
With /mu/ being BEE. Shallow, hollow, screaming "I swear it's irony" at the top of his lungs when he doesn't even believe it himself.

>>2843990
>>2843845
Ends with:
Dear /lit/, sweetest /lit/,
let /mu/ lick your clit?

Please? Or dick. We don't mind.

>>2843996

hemmingway never posted on the internet to ask whether he should wax his anus

>>2844000

Then go be with you're retarded teenage acne-ridden lover, and leave us alone.

Not even one date?

>>2844014

If only /lit/ had enough posters and cared enough to shitpost /mu/ on all the time

In how many love stories does the protagonist win the affections of his beloved so easily? /lit/, our story is not yet done. Give us but one chance?

MY FUCKNG SIDES

you can tell who is from /mu/ and who is from /lit/ based on the sages

>>2844002
ouch. That cut deep.

>>2844025
I was going to post this but then I realised that any information given to /mu/ to help them shitpost harder is a bad thing.

>>2844019
My heart is broken

We were all plebs once. Why don't we accept /mu/ and enlighten them? Right now were just playing hard to get.

>>2844035

>implying you're not a /mu/tant

>>2844030
Nice pseudo-Victorian sentence structure, turbonerd.

>>2844035
See:
>>2844025

/lit/ is in a loving yuri relationship with /jp/ people. Now please go. Stop trying to destroy the purest form of love.

/mu/ and their bloody childish reading habits

Look /lit/ we're not perfect. We're full of hipsters and trolls and whatever else you can imagine. We can't provide you with a nice house on the beach, or any kind of material wealth. We can barely provide ourselves with food to eat.

But we both know none of this matters when you're curled up in your nice bed, listening to an amazing album, with that book you can't put down. We complement each other in the most perfect manner. Together, we can revel in the joys of the most beautiful masterpieces humanity can produce. Together, we can be smarter and better than we ever could be on our own. Together, we can ascend into perpetual happiness.

What do you say /lit/?

Give /mu/ a chance.

>>2844035
The idea is sound, the source does not matter.

>>2844039
So, 6:30 good for you then?

>tfw you are going to get cheated by /a/

>>2844039
This is why we love you /lit/, you're just as much of a pretentious asshole as we are.

/mu/ sure is one clingy group of homosexuals.

I'm from /mu/ and even I can tell that you blew it.

>>2844052

We just want to teach you, /lit/.
To put your pussy in the sarcophagus.

>>2844054
It depends. If you need to block out background noise entry-level baroque and ambient does the job well.

>implying some people haven't realized the futility of trying to sage a thread filled with so much /mu/cas.

Then again, fair point. I forgot to sage once or twice in this thread, and I deeply regret it.

If we keep refusing their advances and guarding our sanctity this way, we will die like untried virginal girls. As Marvell reminds us we must take chances and make our sun run, though we can't make it stand still.

Someday our books will be worm ridden, and crumbling. Let us at least claim that we lived to the fullest.

>>2844059
>recommending noise rock

No. NO.

>>2844058
I'm from /mu/ and I love reading with forms of paper playing in the background.

>>2844060

Yeah I don't care. Why are you raiding /lit/? It's not like we even really get mad at this. You hardly even get reactions.

>>2844062
If I sage will you date us?

>>2844064

>noise rock

>>2844064

Pick one.

>>2844066
Because we want to be board partners.

>>2844064

>>2844063
Life would be fuller to me if we didn't sleep with sweaty overweight hipsters who're probably going to go off and shag another man anyway.

>>2844056
The beauty of 4chan is, you'll never know it was me discussing why much of Victorian lit is pretentious overblown pulp about equal to 50 Shades of Grey compared with, lets say, Joyce or other, later, deconstructionist takes on UK society.

>>2844059

We should've gone the Barry White route.

>>2844070

You're shitting up the board. Post about literature here.

>>2844072
There's only so many 4chan boards, who else are we gonna sleep with?

>>2844074
That was me, sperglord.

>implying /lit/ wouldn't be a frigid, average-at-best girlfriend.

Don't waste your time, /mu/. We'd get bored of you fast and the sex would be awful.

>>2844066

As posted elsewhere:

/lit/ is like that cute girl always sitting in the library who we have a crush on but who seems unreachable because we're too shy to approach her. Sadly she doesn't know about this, nor does she even acknowledge our existence.


It was for a reason - the moment we tried to make a move everything fell apart.

>tfw 6 months ago /mu/ would have reacted the same way if /lit/ pulled this kind of shit

>>2844076
Yeah, cuz /lit/ is such a fast board this post must really be crowding up all the discussion that would otherwise be taking place.

>>2844082
>implying

>>2844082
>We're too awkward

>>2844082

Post about literature here.

>tfw no /lit/ gf

We failed again. What a surprise.

>>2844084

Nah, stuff like this from /mu/ happens constantly.

if /mu/ would just admit they were the girl board and made new pictures to accommodate the fact i'd probably be more open to it

but then i'd get bored and remember how annoying all the shitposting was and how it was directly correlated to the rise in summer posters, and id get mad

>>2844076
see
>>2844074
>>2844078

We actually agree on literature.

>>2844076

This post is sort of turning me on because I'm imagining how the stuck-up women are the wildest in the bedroom.

>>2844086

why NO WHY NO THAT IMAGE WHAT

>/lit/ becomes personified as a female and /mu/ as male

interesting.

>>2844097
One very basic point does not constitute agreement.

>>2844101
It's always been that way.

>>2844101
/mu/ thought of it first, cis privilege happened, you do the math.

>>2844107
>cis privilege
man i thought i was on tumblr for a second

>>2844096
>>2844096
it's a known fact women are statistically plebbier than men. They care about fitting in, and what better way to do that then to listen to top 40 pop.

/mu/ can't be the girl board

>>2844102
i was asking myself the same thing

>>2844107
That's not cis privilege, that's heteronormative and male privilege.

Get it right.

>>2844080
Relationships are like stars, or perhaps people, some burn brightly and die fast, others more slowly and for longer. But both types of love are worthwhile endeavors.

>>2844101

There has been a lot of support for boy-boy and girl-girl as well.

>>2844111
Some tear themselves apart leaving nothing but a slowly dying ember.

>>2844113

/mu/ is plebbier than /lit/

>>2844113
This. The female population of /mu/ is incredibly small.

>>2844113

>talking about plebs

>/mu/ professes love to /lit/
>thread devolves into each board throwing shit and calling eachother plebs

You guys do make me ashamed on /mu/'s right now. Now I'm not surprised why there are so many feel threads there, especially ">tfw no gf".

If you want to be with us, remember that pleb as a term is frowned up on /lit/.

>>2844113
You just called /lit/ more pleb than /mu/

I absolutely hate you for that. Not for calling us more pleb, mind you, but for using the term so seriously.

>>2844122
i'm ok with this

>>2844122
I'm okay with this too.

>>2844195

>>2844195
No. We're not /r9k/. We can do this.

Why is /mu/ so gay and pathetic?
For god's sake, if you want companionship, get some friends, or a whore. You're all as cancerous as /b/ when you think of boards as one entity. /mu/ has gone lower than /a/ now, but that makes sense considering their boards is mostly filled with tripfags, women, and teenagers.

>>2844200
let's try with another board, it seems like /lit/ can't admit her love for us

fa/tv/virgin here,

Can I watch you guys fuck?

>>2844205

There is no other for us.
Also, don't let /sp/ know about what happened in this thread. He'll tease us to no end.

>>2844225
So? She still deserves to be surrounded by the best. Even if she hates us, and even if we aren't the best board out there, we ought to be our best for her.

>>2844231

That's exactly how we get friend zoned in the first place.
You are right though. We must treat our princess well.

>>2844236
>princess

Oh god man. Just...

Why?

> mfw people think this is the right way to talk to girls
It's not even being a "nice guy", just a complete fucking pussy.

You're not being romantic. You only sound like an alienated individual who've read about social cues in old books.

fuck this thread

seriously /mu/, go the fuck away. nobody likes you, you have shit taste & you''re not intelligent. why are you fags so obnoxious?

>>2843941
This.
You guys really need to learn how to court somebody.
Protip: It's not done by making multiple off-topic threads on their board.

>>2844323
Um, I think this is a case of No, U.

Why is it that we seem to catch all of /mu/'s strange mix of disdain, insecurity, and intrigue? Is it because we're perhaps the only board that is both more pretentious than them and utterly indifferent to their opinions? Or are they unnerved that we have a more credible claim to "authentic" culture, whatever that is?

>>2844566

I think the explanation is a lot simpler.

/mu/ has a crush on you.

>>2844654

And they sure used up their spaghetti today.

>tfw this will never happen

dichotomy is /lit/'s favourite word

You guys throw it about all the time, what gives?

>>2844396
"I grow old/I grow old/ I will wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled."

>>2844829

It's an attempt to post-ironically deconstruct the dichotomy/non-dichotomy dichotomy

/lit/ has much better taste in music than /mu/.

>>2845119
It's our fault right? Fucking dullard...

/mu/ is ruining this board

kill yourself

>>2845141
I disagree, /lit/ is too close-minded to have a decent, broad taste in general music.

I-I'm sorry /lit/. Last night wasn't a good night for me.

Can we t-try again?

>>2845276

No.

I'll wait whatever time is necessary for /lit/ to understand and love us ITT.

I want to lick you c/lit/

>>2845391
Are you from /mu/? Do you know what genre
Her Name Is Calla is?

>>2845397
post-avant jazzcore

>>2845401
Man, I've been out of the loop a long time.

>>2845397
It's definitely post-rock

>>2845244
Good taste means liking good, real music as opposed to music in general. But it's not like /mu/ has particularly broad tastes anyway; they only listen to contemporary music in popular genres (mainly rock).

>>2845490
Taste is best for differentiating when something is a good work within its genre. I've found that what you prefer between styles of music, however, is largely a matter of opinion.

This is why having a broad music taste is good. If you can listen to many different genres and acquire a taste for them you will be able to differentiate what within that genre is good and bad.

>>2845409

Yes, it is post-rock. It also takes influence from shoegaze and, in my opinion, ambient.

Bumping a cancerous thread

stop

is stupid

just this word

>>2846158
im from /mu/, but this is getting sad. Just stop.
Until you make them a proper mixtape.

>>2845526
If you respond to my post with a sage, I'm probably not going to get back to you for a while as I usually only look at page 0, as you can see here, lol. And genre music is crap, sorry to say, just like genre fiction.

This thread is going to die

Unless I avoid it

I really want to know what percentage of /mu/ actually reads sheet music and can play an instrument...

Maybe another bump wont harm anybody

>>2846650

i'm beginnning to doubt that you are a real wizeerd

>>2846652
why is that?
Also, it seems like you just wrote "noko" wrong. Here, let me help you out.

>>2846649
Less than 10%.

>>2846657
If that's true, then /mu/ is nothing compared to /lit/.

Fuck off. At least invite us to a secret 285 Kent show or something.

I laughed so hard while reading that OP. funniest thing I've seen on this shitty board since 2010. you are all hilariously pathetic.
