Unthinkable designs, unbearable decisions
Unquestionable pain, unprepossessing features
Impenetrable signs, unfounded accusations
Unskillful states of mind, unsettling misgivings
Undisciplined retreats, unscientific methods
Unburyable guilt, unmurmuring surrender
Unpardonable faults, unbudgeable positions
Implausible events, unpalatable findings

Unsound
Unsound
Unsound
Unsound

Unscrupulous deceits, unwitting acts of kindness
Unsystematic thought, untraceable descendants
Unwholesome points of view, insufferable insults
Unprecedented moves, unseasonable weather
Insatiable desires, untenable proposals
Unenviable loss, unstoppable collisions
Unnatural delights, unwarranted reprisals
Imponderable ideas, unvalidated parking

Unsound
Unsound
Unsound
Unsound

The unwaged, the unscathed
The unproud, the unbowed
The unhinged, the unbared
The unloved, the undead

Innumerable crimes, unlimited distractions
Intolerable weakness, unfathomable reasons
Unchivalrous displays, unornamented violence
Inalienable rights, unquestioning compliance
Unmannerly behavior, ungovernable impulse
Unbridgeable divides, interminable pleasure
Untested wonder drugs, unmissable attractions
Incredible excitement, unmitigated bullshit
Unveiled machinations unsparing of your feelings
Unmediated voltage, unattenuated input
Uncheckable conclusions, unreasonable exactions
Invidious assignments, invincible diseases

Isn't part of the beauty of literature making you imagine by filling in the blanks?
If everything was written down you might as well be reading a scientific treatise.

As nice as that sounds, to me it still comes off as lazy. Mainly because it's something I myself would write when I want to describe something with my horribly limited imagination.

If he described it, you'd go insane. Show a little gratitude.

>>9847992
I always thought that the visual insanity trigger was kind of dull. Something that would really turn people insane would always have some arcane power associated it- like night terrors. Something innocuous that you're terrified of and you don't know why until your mind breaks down.

I had a dream like that once. It was a maze made of sand; the sand gently shifting. People who looked at it wouldn't be able to look away until they turned into gibbering lunatics. But it was just... sand. Then of course came the ice cream sundaes made of rotting crab legs and decayed fish parts, but that was something else.
