>>7167040
post her picture. I want to see what a well-read and half-interesting girl looks like

>inb4 "SHE'S NOT!!!"

>>7167040
I don't get it, is that tripfag cunt leaving?

>>7167044

>>7167040
hey, is her the same trip that posts on /gif/ everyday

>>7167056
Thanks. Is that the best one?

>>7167053
unfortunately that is the case. I suspect she will at least come and visit us occasionally.

>>7167063
There are probably more in the archive, they mostly are all the same

>>7167053
Yes.

Tove herself was just as cute as the moomins. She only got cuter with age

>>7167061
I don't post there everyday, but I have posted in some threads. They just tend to stay up for a month.
I have quite enough saved up on the HD to masturbate for a long time though...

>>7167084
Oh, so cute.

Really need to get all the moomin books.

Are the comics collected in a single volume? I haven't looked yet.

>>7167087
lets not turn this into a lewd posting thread now..

>>7167084
She looks Volkisch.

{s4s} just won't be the same :/

>>7167095
not in a single volume I don't think. that would be a huge book

>tfw you'll never get to lick butterfly's asshole

why live (tbh[to be -- quite -- frank])

>>7167119
Is the early stuff out of print you think?
(I know the later stuff was taken up by her brother)

>>7167100
Sowwy :)~

>>7167114
*hugs*

I do not understand.
Do you think that you will be able to force yourself to stop posting?
Generally it is a dissipation of interest over the space of months and not simply a choice when someone stops posting on this website.

>>7167142
I am leaving my physical location as well. Internet goes off tonight or something, but I'll be gone by then.
I'll go without internet for a while, but long enough to break the habit once I do reconnect.

>>7167134
>>7167134
The early stuff is still being published. It was the 100th anniversary of her birth last year and a lot of stuff came from that.

this is a comfy thread :)
here's a goodbye haiku from my dog

If I must die
then let me die before
the winter comes

>>7167174
that's not an haiku

>>7167159
What?

Been nice knowing you m80. See you in the next life. Hope it all goes well.

>>7167189
tell that to my dog. Oh wait your too pussy

>>7167189
4,6,4 is still haiku

dont go butterfly ;_;

>>7167195
ill fuck ur dog

>>7167196
it's not about metre

>>7167195
That's more haiku.

So long, and thanks for all the fish! Never really got to have a discussion with you (Well, just found out your'e a girl...) but you seemed nice.

>>7167040
Did I miss something?

In the coming week I will read:

Moomin
Le Guin
C. Hitchens
Vidal
Pater
Braudel
Beauvoir

in memory of you, my dear butterfly.

Gone but not forgotten.

Literature and butterflies are the two sweetest passions known to man

goodbye butterfly. i've grown to feel quite fond of you and with you gone /lit/ will not be the same. i also want you to know you've borne the hate here remarkably and that speaks highly for your character.

i hope my farewell wasn't too sentimental this is just a tibetan shadow puppet appreciation board after all.

>>7167227
Indeed they are, Vlady. Indeed they are.

Goodbye Butterfly. I hope you buy a cat and call it bunny. Have fun; you go get that Eudaimonia. Don't worry about us... Heh I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of changes around here B)

>>7167072

Nobody fucking cares.

>>7167219
You know she is a rusemaster, right?
Those authors are shit.

>>7167265
I care. Tbh I'll probs only check out the wiki now.

>>7167213
What do you want to discuss?

>>7167219
Nice :)
Hope you like.

>>7167233
It's easy to lose yourself in anonymity and spew all your rage at people, but just as easy to bare brunt of it. Once you get used to it.
I am going through tissues recently.
All the "don't go's" ... *sniff* *tugs shirt*

>>7167268
Make counters to them all please.

>>7167268
Moomin isn't an author, and I've already read everyone mentioned there and none of them are shit. Reading Pater can be taxing but the payoff is enormous. I don't much care for Vidal's fiction, but I enjoy his essays. Le Guin has only a few novels that interest me. Braudel is one of the most interesting historians I know of. Beauvoir's feminism is agreeable, but it's her memoirs that fascinate me the most.

I mentioned Braudel and Pater on /lit/ before I ever saw Butterfly or anyone else mention them, so for all I know I could be the one who got her into them.

Butterfly's no rusemaster. She's the only woman I've ever loved.

>>7167282
I feel like the counter to Le Guin should be Atwood

>>7167282
Not Moomin, or Prater and Braudel.

And... no?

>>7167282
they smell bad

>>7167276
>What do you want to discuss?
Nothing specific, nice of you to ask though. Good luck with whatever you're going to do now!

>>7167297
>>7167303
Naw, like this >>7167294

That anon thinks Braudel is shit? What historian/historiography does he prefer?

Don't stop imagining

actually feeling bummed out because of this. Been on the chan since 07 but shes the only trip I ever grew to like

>>7167218
butters is our gf, since we got dubs once which confirmed

>>7167305
You too, mang.

>>7167276
You do deserve it all, though.
You know this is the only place where you can be respected because you have horrible taste and you seem to think you can hold political opinions and opinions in general without having arguments for them or understanding anything about them. You don't argue, you just make jokes about your opponents.
I would even say you have steeped this board in insincerity and pseudo-intellectualism.
I am sure you are reasonably well-read,
as I know I am "reasonably" well-read,
but you don't know nearly as much as you let on,
and that does not mean I can read your mind but rather that you mention things and express things even though the traditional definitions of the words and the literature related to them have not yet been rehearsed.

Also, you are the only "trip" who has had to say goodbye before leaving, instead of silently dissipating like the others,
mainly because you appeal to the lowest common denominator, and pretend that you have taste and understand literature, proliferating Hitchens/Vidal trash as if reading them is any different from reading the blurb of a Muesli box.

Is this cruel? You are cruel.

This isn't "baring the brunt".
It was never that. It was genuine criticism.
Just having read is not okay. When you genuinely know something,
return as someone who has and in a sincere way, until then you have been and are trash, despite the troglodyte orbiters that surround you.

>>7167335
>as if reading them is any different from reading the blurb of a Muesli box.
Well at least she doesn't rehash new bohemians lyrics.

>>7167347
I came up with that in my head this morning.

ugh, knew this day would come. I always hated a lot of her antics and strange interests but they became so familiar seeing them everyday and now I don't them gone

>>7167354
> I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know if you know what I mean
> oh shit I'm a fucking poet

>>7167335
I share this viewpoint

>>7167335
that's a big rant. its OK anon, we are all emotional about this

>>7167322
Dubs confirm again.
>>7167335
>Is this cruel? You are cruel.

Wow, intense man. Butters sure isn't our smartest poster (not even our smartest trip, imagine) but she's mostly decent as a bantzperson (except when it comes to religion). We should all leave this place tbfdtt (to be fully discosing the truth).


Well, enough shitposting for today. Thanks butts for reminding me I have better things to do than being here.

>>7167335
this tbh

>>7167363
We should start a support group

>>7167044
>girl

Come back once you've finally read Infinite Jest

how will i write now? my soul is dead.

>>7167360
How do you mean?
It was not my intention to imply that.
The sentence came in to my head while reading "The Sacred Wood" by T. S. Eliot this morning.
I was not aware it was contained in the lyrics of a song.
I try to make myself aware of things by reading and I am not particularly good at writing poetry.

>>7167335
dyke btfo lmao

>>7167380
>The sentence came in to my head while reading "The Sacred Wood" by T. S. Eliot this morning.
Yeah Yeah sure.

>>7167335
I'm well aware of my shortcomings. I blame my Christian upbringing and all the lost time trying to "make it". We do what we can.

>>7167389
shhh clone butterfly, they weren't talking about you, you still love us. this is about that other whore

>>7167389
You're not "dumb", just loud,
which is worse.

>>7167394
Being dumb is worse

>>7167394
*but can be instantly rectified.

>>7167389
lost time trying to "make it"? What were you trying to achieve?

>>7167402
She was a super high flyer m8

>>7167374
That was Isabelle Huppert

I used to be in love with her, like really nuts about her in real life. A year ago, or so. I still like her, though.
Don't go.

>>7167401
>tfw I'll never shut up butters by stuffing my cock in her mouth

Is this a good place to begin my new career as a trip fag?

Memes will go soon and
Dissappear into new ones;
Memes will come soon

>>7167417
stop trying to replace our dead gf, she's not even cold

>>7167044
>she will never argue about Joyce with you as you walk around the quad at Christ Church college

>>7167417
smh -_-

>>7167394
I'm not loud. I'm a very meek person. I should try to not be so much, I believe, and so should you.

>>7167402
"Success or whatever"

>>7167406
Papillon Poet?

>>7167417
you weren't here during the great D&E golden era so no

>>7167449
No. I prefer silence unless there is some thing to say (and reading).
I am trying to become someone who has some thing to say so that I can remove myself of my silence.

>>7167460
That would make a good first person to an existential YA book

>>7167460
Good luck with it.

>>7167421
reminds me of that Japanese Shoegazer band

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGOZmX4mwnQ

>>7167423
She reminds me of the cat in the hat tbh

>>7167451
He came so close to posting more than anonymous too. Amazing.

I looked for him in the archive recently and he seems to have actually leveled up his philosophical discourse (finally) which is impressive tbh.

I'm going to go. If anyone wants to email litty shit perrytratchett8@gmail.com is my a current binmail.

>>7167335
Good post tbqhwyf (to be quite honest with you fam)

Farewell fellow animal poster

Could someone dump all of her photos?

Take care, flutterby.

I will turn the lights of the shed off tonight in your memory

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvCUl-YPDzU

John Francis Dooley
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
And embrace the light
You have slept now
For a thousand years
Beneath starless nights
And now it's time for you
To renounce the old ways
And see a new dawn rise

In former days
Masks were raised
When the god came down
From off of the mountain
And the sacrifice was made
For he knew the day of wrath
Was fast approaching
Just like yesterday before the war

John Francis Dooley
The scapegoat has run
All our sins are disowned
And now it's time for you
To take off your mask
And cross the Rubicon

If you and I were one
Within the eyes of our designs
It would still not change
The fact of our leaving
For tonight we must leave
With the first gentle breeze
For the Isles Of Ken
We are sailing

Just like Ullyses
On an open sea
On an odyssey
Of self discovery

B'bye

>>7167574
>>7167568
Will you just fuck off and leave already ?

>>7167040
>hidden and reported edition
stupid tripfags

>>7167579


But don't hate her when she gets up to leave.

>>7167579
yeah fuck off

>>7167579
good fucking riddance.
This makes me happy.
fuck you cunt, fuck you.

I know this nigger won't respond cause it would break it's whole effect.
fuck yourself with a cactus

>>7167087
Could you share any links?

>>7167579
bye

>tfw posting in the post-butterfly era /lit/

Bye Butters. I had a few interactions with you and you seemed like an OK person, though I do think you were too much of an attention whore. That said, you were a fixture around this place, and with time I've come to miss all the shitty tripfags that left, because of muh nostalgia. If I can manage it I think I'll be cutting down the hours I waste here as well; too many other things to do.

'Night. Flights of angels and so forth.

i miss butterfly butterfly come back

>>7167503
holy shit

>>7167779
this

>>7167087
Why oh why would you publicly admit this! Haha.

Oh. Nice thread though. Thanks for replying to mine on [s4s]! Best wishes butterflutters!

>>7168106
LoLo, join the /lit/ community we need someone to replace b

>>7168134
Hah wut. Are you from {s4s}? I don't know enough about books and I'm retarded. :pppp
Mods would prob delete if I posted food here and I'm basically always drunk because I'm a terrible person and hate living

>>7168151
This was uncomfortable to read I can't really explain why, even though I feel like I know why, but fuck, strange

Anyways I remember her pretending to be leaving 4ever a few months ago

>>7168151
>I'm basically always drunk because I'm a terrible person and hate living

You'll fit right in

>>7168151
but you#re a namefag and named after one of our favourite characers (light of our life love of our loins) and most of you reasons for not working on your novel are perfectly cromulent just like ours. we probably can't be exclusive just yet since butterfly will be back tomorrow but think on it and let us know

>>7167195

>>7167579
Well, goodbbye. While you weren't the very best poster on this board, you sometimes had valuable things to say, and more importantly you were someone who was a pretty constant presence. I'll be missing you, personally.

How long has she been here anyway?

>>7168333
3 months

>>7168333
Like years, girl.

>>7167072
goat taste as usual

cheerio!

>>7167087
"everyday" means "ordinary." I expected better of you.

>>7167389
holy fuck lmao

crybabies btfo once again by trollmaster butterfly

ya, cool, we never need ur anarchism, k. bye.

>>7168333

The archive says her first post was June 2011, although I've been around since the beginning and I really only remember her from '13 onwards. Maybe she wasn't as active before? In any case it's been too long. All the other classic tripfags left years ago.

>>7168549
she was obviously a 4chan employee who's been let go now that it got sold to that fucking jap, well good riddance i say

>>7168520
individualism in counterrevolutionary

stop being so shit at gommunizm butters

I just started browsing /lit/ recently, and have to ask Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ, why all the atheist bashing here? I find it hard to believe most of the people that do it are actually religious.

>>7168613
not many of us are religious, we just like the imagery and bugging her.

>>7168613
It isn't either or m8

>>7168549
She's been around since the beginning p much. And fairly active, really very active well before 2013. The little butterfly was a little different earlier on iirc. Do you not remember Brown bore and all that bs? That's you'd have seen a lot more posting. Before then you tended to see her post when the ever lovely trannie Dr Huppert posted.

>>7168733
True, so why the bashing on atheists? Is it just a meme?

>>7168752
We made her read Beauvoir and broke her potential to in2Being. We were insecure when we younger.

Taking this symbol now that it is vacant. Whats up fam? Smash that like button if you are still up

>>7168783
Stop trying on butterfly's skin; it was creepy enough when Feminister did it to sublimate his homosexual urges.

>>7168793
there is no butterfly fam, just you and me. Didn't Zizek talk about Rammstein undermining nazi symbolism by using it in their own way? Im doing that but with « Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ »

>>7168802

you're no *grabs shirt* rammstein *sniff* buddy

>>7168802
>implying we're not all qt butterflies
Fuck you, Susan Sontag says that's just another fascist interpretation and she's wearing a bear suit.

>>7168752
It's a bit of a meme now I guess. If you think a few years back the whole Dawkins god delusion bullshit was a lot more popular, I think a couple of years before /lit/ existed they had threads on /b/ and /r9k/ about stupid things he's posted (esp. that doozy about a penis being the least dangerous thing a vicar can put into a young boy, or something to that effect anyway). So early lit was at the tail end of that.

There were quite a few Chris Hitchens threads, people who'd read some new atheist clap trap and wanting to be debated, and so many spergs arguing that atheist didn't mean they didn't believe in all gods just not that one god (as if that somehow made it more rational) and o aren't we all atheists really etc etc. And I'm p sure we got some of the Sam Harris publicity spam posting. So a lot is down to here being the philosophy board too and New Atheists deciding they could do philosophy because they believed they could.

And the default position now tends to be a kind of agnosticism, tends to fit in better with the postmodern era. Again, new atheism with their agnosticism is cowardice rhetoric

>>7168783
Fuck off. Butterfly namefagging was shitty enough, namefagging someone else's name is another level of cancer.

Have a nice life auntie!

>>7167579

>>7169916
Chuang-Tze isn't female, and rather than worshipping we have been trying to kill her for some time now. Don't you even read Song era Chinese, you filthy fucking mongol?

I'll miss your derailing shitposting threads with more shitposting

woah this thread lol
im always a little too late to the party
anyone know where shes going/what shes even doing?
butterfly pls spoil your dramatic exit for me
did you quit your job?

>>7169933
nice dubdubs bby this is like the third time she told us she was dead. i think she just doesn't want to introduce us to her family

>>7169925
Chinese literature as compared to Western literature is as interesting as elaborate /x/ pseudo-scientific theories regarding the laws of physics and dimensions are to hard science; as tumors are to doctors; as non-practical, yet somewhat interesting sounding instruments are to a musician; as Langan's theory to anyone with the competency to understand it; i.e. it's a mere curiousity, nothing more. To expect me to take anything of their sort seriously is just quite plainly pathetic. Chinese literature is merely a sidenote compared to the vast folio of influence that is the Western literature.

>>7169933
she's gone to where trips and namefigs go to die: life

>>7169949
>he understood Journey to the West as a scientific theory
Did you go to one of those Western schools that teach creationism? I see why you haven't read the Dream of the Red Chamber if that is the case.

>>7169973
What the hell are you talking about? It seems that you are an Ameriburger.

lmaoing@u bruh

>>7169971
fuck that's nice
and also very sad for us

>>7169984
Obscure Chinese volumes of 'poetry' don't count as literature in the most reasonable sense of the word.

Don't forget what language you are speaking right now.

>>7169980
you should really read that dm thomas book about the white hotel. kusturica and lynch both wanted to make a movie of it so you know it's beautiful because they also failed. it's a good thing to read when you're dead. i ate tiny deep fried crabs the other week and thought how you're a fucking millstone round my neck because you have to be lazy not just dead to read so slow. <3 gib recs or die more

>>7170010
>Don't forget what language you are speaking right now.
法语

>>7170010
They're two of the four classical novels of the Chinese canon. The Dream of The Red Chamber has an entire school of exegesis dedicated to it called Redology, though the Chinese terms are slightly different in sematic value to the English ones I am using to explain it to you. It's okay, English is a low context language which means that nuances have to be more explicitly expounded upon for understanding, so I know it's not your fault you don't understand much of this.

>>7170031

my b darling hey i will read that book im serious cause it sounds good. perhaps i'll have recs too soon. all i've read these last few months has been non-fiction i've been trying to come to grips with life on earth, but im ready for art again. really ready. oh i do have a copy of mynona waiting for me and btw i fucking love you

Top lel m8, keep floundering that intellectual 'superiority' you got there. Try reading something worthwhile that isn't written in an ugly meme language. Like Decameron lmao.

i knew you sounded like an ichthyphagous little bitch who hasn't read the greeks, but florentine novellas? lol, really aiming for the bumpkin vote in the plebiscite. why don't we pretend chaucer is hard with all his "pronounce the k" shit and poems about arse licking? that'll make you seem like a genius compared to a freshman arts student.

What's more annoying than tripfags are the whiteknights rushing to aid ye fair maidens in distress.

>>7170287
>I bet you didn't even read the god damned book.
The funny thing is that you'd love Journey to the West, but you love bragging about a not very high brow equivalent with less monkeys too much to find out. Did your edition of the tales bowdlerize the homosex bits out or have you not read the book you're hoping I haven't? I can't imagine it got rid of the disease or all the fanfic elements unless they thought having subtitles was too much for nouveau riche hicks.

>>7170359
Why won't you stop mumbling about 'muh journey'?

I bet you didn't even enjoy the part where that guy fell into a pile of steaming shit right as he rused.

Nah, I'm here mostly hoping for a good thead to arrive. Typically I lurk. I am here because I like literature and I do indeed read. You are quite pretenious by namedropping your so special Chinese 'classic' and getting mad at me for dismissing it for what it is - utter shite. Unlike you I don't reply to random posts by mentioning a character in Charterhouse of Parma or something similiar and then get mad when that person hasn't read a book-that-I-oh-so-much-like.

Funny how you keep talking about sucking dicks, must be something that you are very familiar with, not at the receiving end though.

Basically, fuck off to /soc/ or whatever the fucking board you came crawling from.

lol are you really buttmad you didn't understand a joke about Zhungzi being a butterfly? Is this quote chain right >>7169916 >>7169925? If this isn't just one troll talking to himself, here you go:
>One night, Zhuangzi dreamed of being a butterfly — a happy butterfly, showing off and doing things as he pleased, unaware of being Zhuangzi. Suddenly he awoke, drowsily, Zhuangzi again. And he could not tell whether it was Zhuangzi who had dreamt the butterfly or the butterfly dreaming Zhuangzi. But there must be some difference between them! This is called 'the transformation of things'.
goodbye again butterfly ;_;

she said she was coming back. I think her plan is just not to post here so regularly because is probably one of the most frequent posters here. She just wants to lay off it for a while so hopefully she doesn't get addicted again or something.

what the fuck was Epicurus's message anyway?

Wasn't he the 'smart' hedonist

But my man, how am I supposed to get the reference just like that? I either get a reference or I don't; I don't google something up and aknowledge that I got it just for the sake of appearing as if I fit in. I haven't read Chinese literature at all and I feel certain prejudice against it. It's perhaps that their names sound so ever boring and repetive, their history seems a one big turd of something something dinasty, emperor kills lotsa people, heavenly mandate, yada yada, or, more importantly, what annoys me the most is that I feel like that Chinese literature is way overblown. There is something instinctively telling me that there is something absolutely depressing about China. I can't stand it. China is as foreign as Mars to me - all of the Zhangs, Zhis and alike produce no lasting imaginings or images produced by my active imagination. My passive imagination only springs forth something depressive. Think of it like a background to your thoughts, that mostly unconscious mass from wherein your feelings arise and give a 'color' to your thoughts. Apply that to my perception of arts when I 'look' upon them.

No, I didn't get the joke and didn't want to get it. I don't think I will get it for a long time, not so much that I don't have the mental capacity for it, but more so in that I don't want to bend my mind around something as terrible as China.

You know what I want to do? I want to throw myself in the landscape of old Europe, the Meditarrean and alike. Europe, at least the pretty part, has been the sole idealisation of my life for a longer time now, so I live in it, mentally, through books. Village wherein the young Werther roams, that spring from where those peasants carried away water, those linded trees he was burried under. That France of Revolutionary era, that tale of strong passions. That visage of Medieval humor I already mentioned, that comfy feeling of Renaissance budding as it was written and the attitudes therein reflect it. That beautifully depressive scenery of St.Petersburg, with one monomaniac to be completely unaware of it at most of the times. London, in it's wretched poverty and splendid luxury. Go on, I would, but not now.

I like reading what I like. I like exquisite things. I'm selective. Your books, although they might indeed be pretty and fairly vivid, have no chance to strike images which help me keep my head balanced and furnished with what I perceive as beauty. I might read them, if I feel like it, though not now.

On a simpler note, I was in quite the mood of shitposting and baiting some fellow posters, but here, here is a serious reply if you ever wanted one. Go on, call me names. I'm wretched, but all wretchedness has it's limits and cures.

Here is a comfy image to accomply this post if you wanted to see something comfy.

Avoidance of suffering is more important than seeking out pleasure and some good lifestyle advice, mostly regarding what not to get involved with.

Whatever happened to satan aka le Ismael Sarepta faec? he was pretty entertaining.

> all of the Zhangs, Zhis and alike produce no lasting imaginings or images produced by my active imagination

maybe you should actually read Chuangtzu instead of projecting your depression onto him, as his book is one of the most vivid, engaging, and lucid philosophical texts ever written.

The fact that she didn't even timestamp and only has about 4 pictures in the same clothes makes me doubtful that was ever her/him

but whoever the poster behind it was, s/he was occasionally fun to have around and will be marginally missed
