Is there a name for the trope when a powerful character (vampire, wizard, monster, etc) tries to live with regular people or a regular human character tries to live with super powerful characters? Not even secretly. I started noticing this in a bunch of random weird places. It's usually comedy and most of the "comedy" is derived from awkward situations the super powers create or how the main character has to live with all these weirdos who could crush him/her. I see it in warhammer 40k comic strips, pixar/dreamworks animations, cartoons, anime/mangas do it a fuckton, etc.

Anyone else feel like they just can't focus on lectures or seminars anymore? I would honestly rather read a transcript instead of sitting in for ninety minutes, losing track of the whole thing after the prof again restates his position to the text or book and to the author, asking rhetorical questions no one cares to answer, and answering only what sums up to highly specific bugmen questions or dumbing his material down, answering generally only in his system of terms which only ought to be used because --- everything else can only be wrong.

I feel most should just write books again explaining their thought, instead of writing piecemeal papers for what appears to be only their immediate academic circle. I would rather read a published lecture, series of lectures, than sit in on any of them. It's such a huge waste of time, especially now with everything being online and only online.

I can barley grasp the books I read if they are just basic rehashing or a reconfiguring of the concepts I've already dealt with. Nothing I make is clever or original, and even if it was it would be done better later by someone else. I don't think I'm cut out to write anything when there are so many people better epuipped to do so. Part of me wants to give up and go mindlessly plow fields and enjoy the warmpth of the sun on my back and the cool sweat on my brow, but in the image of me living that life i'm always haunted by my choice to abandon my obsession....

What do you mean by aphantasia exactly? Whenever I see someone mention it, it turns out they have something else in mind.

If you mean being completely incapable of imagining a scene, say two people talking in a kitchen, then it's gonna be a major pain in the ass and will have a marked effect on your style, but I don't think it would be completely impossible. You'll probably have to use lots of aids for descriptions (scenes from films, paintings, other writings or just reality itself) and focus on the non-description parts of writing, but it's still doable. Books with a very heavy focus on dialogue should be possible for example, provided you don't have problems with imagining conversations.

Why don't audiobook makers do it in the style of old radio dramas/plays? Where people voice different characters. I mean, I just don't understand why it's one narrator reading every character every time, except that it's way cheaper and simpler. Surely that can't be the only reason, though.

They do it sometimes, but other than the cost thing, I read somewhere that most people actually prefer a single narrator. I only have an issue with it if the narrator is bad at voicing people of the opposite sex. That's why female narrators are not my favorite, men in those audiobooks usually just sound like they are tired or completely uninterested in everything. I wonder if that's how we sound to women.

Lots of practice, and writing smaller projects that I care about that aren't some juvenilia attempt at a magnum opus at age 23. Short stories are golden, read old short stories and learn. Learn how to write something "just okay" and not take yourself so seriously.

Learn how to get ideas out because you care about the ideas, not because you want to be seen as an aesthetic virtuoso first and foremost. Most aspiring writers are assholes saying the equivalent of "I want to be a famous composer" before they can even play an instrument. This is stupid for various reasons but one of the most important is that most literature is not like music, it is not pure aesthetic play where you can be admired for channeling raw emotion into raw ineffable form, such that the actual intellectual content of the work is secondary.

Most great and competent writers wrote to get ideas out. For example, a "scene" that gave them a frisson for some reason they can't fully express intellectually. Maybe they are fascinated by aspects of the weird and otherworldly, and even though they couldn't quantify this or express it philosophically, they somehow just know that certain dynamics and ideas and confrontations "hit upon" the thing that fascinates them, whatever it is deep down. Then they write those scenes, and vehicles for them, with varying levels of success, perhaps one day achieving a single magnum opus, perhaps not. But along the way they are honing their craft and reaching greater heights they could not have conceived without those years of groping.

That's why it's also important to care deeply about it. Again, don't aspire to be an admired aesthete. That's like wanting to "be a celebrity," without caring how you get there. If you are passionate about expressing or sharing certain ideas you will be willing to suffer for them and for their slow perfection in your work. Someone who just wants to be a big famous guy like David Foster Wallace is not going to torture himself for 20 years churning out flawed masterpieces like Wallace did. And Wallace's first book was embarrassing and bad, another useful bit of insight into the process of finding your voice and finding your ideas. Sometimes you will flounder for 20 years before you have enough failures and embarrassments to stand upon to see what you really meant to be saying all along.

Learn to love pulp. Learn what short story authors felt when they got published and received fan mail on a story that wasn't perfect, that wasn't a perfect work of crystal they had polished for a thousand years and perfectly expressed on paper, but was just a pretty damn good presentation of something they passionately wanted to say.

Learn to find your voice and your quirks. Some people are Flannery O'Connor, some are Dickens, others are Frank Herbert or William Gibson or PKD or Greg Egan or Dan Simmons. Some people want to write real gritty human beings, others are autistic asexual barely human freaks and that's okay too.

I need help remembering a word I can't think of, so this is a good opportunity to flex your verbal intelligence. I think it's used often in maybe biology that means an agent is affecting something, doing its characteristic thing that it normally does, like gene expression. The closest definition I can think if is something manifesting its effects. Pretty sure its basic form is a verb. Example "The never ending darkness allowed bob's depression to [express itself even stronger]." Please help me I don't even know if this word exists anymore.

Does anyone remember the name of a book series I read when I was younger? I remember that it was like Harry Potter, the main character had a strange name, wizards had clouds always hanging over their heads and I think the first book had the main character feed people frozen in time by sticking small bits of carrots up their noses. There was also a sequel where he fell down a big hole, and one where some guy had a big garden that was behind a door with the word "Jardin" on it

Depends on a book
Books have different structures and different lengths of subsections. If I know that chapters are short I will finish it, but if I know chapters are long I will just quit somewhere in the middle

Does anyone know a book about some plane that crashed in the ocean where half the crew died and rescue missions were sent out, but eventually a pilot flying his last mission found them after they held up a flashlight to help?

I think it was called The Rescuing of ______ or something along those lines.

Can someone help me understand Kant's proof of the antithesis of his third antimony? I'm not sure what he means by "Every beginning of action, however, presupposes a state of the not yet acting cause, and a dynamically first beginning of action presupposes a state that has no causal connection at all with the cause of the previous one," It seems like he's saying that actions beginning outside the causal chain can't exist because because they aren't caused, which is circular. Why can't an originally uncaused action combine with a normally caused action to produce another caused action?

>> No.18280147

>>18280133
clarification, its not actually circular, what I meant was that it seems like he is assuming everything must follow causal law to show that uncaused actions can't exist

I’m looking for stories that inject just small elements of fantasy, mythology, whatever into its story. I don’t think there’s description for this so I don’t really know how to describe it. I’m aware of magical realism but magical realism is too much of fantasy. Basically, I’m looking for stuff that’s 99% realism but 1% fantasy, if that makes any sense. Hopefully someone knows what I mean and can recommend something.

That could fit but it’s not exactly what I mean. I’m sorry but I’m having a really hard time describing what I’m looking for. To give you an idea, I recently read a book that is 99% totally realistic but there’s a few pages dedicated to an occurrence that’s basically supernatural. The story as a whole isn’t supernatural. There’s just that one supernatural occurrence. I’m looking for stuff between magical realism and realism basically.
