David Tibet’s poetry, but beyond that, tell me what aesthetic you believe you feel and see in the image, that could be helpful.

anything by PKD is a fever dream like Wain paintings
but specifically Exegesis

>> No.20318019

Never read the exegesis itself but love VALIS. On second read VALIS didn't affect me as much. Haven't read the others in that trilogy.
Everything I write comes out as worse VALIS

huh, that pic makes me think of something

>starts completely normal and mundane, just like any other book
>somethings happen, seems like MC has taken drugs, it's not explicit, but there's a faint hint of something else
>then, things start happening: his cat start getting cartoon like; book appears to be a comic day about a cat and it's owner
>a sudden turn and looks like they'll have and adventure, higher stake at game, we are entering fantasy and/or fiction territory - maybe the forth wall is broken? we are not sure ; ^)
>just as about things seem to be going for the third act: BOOM
>MC falls into a chasm of darkness, genre completely changes from grim dark-fantasy to terror in a jif
>What are you doing with your life, anon? You pretend we are not real, but look at your life: what has this pointless chase of pointless drivel has given you? You so uncaring with your eternal soul it almost takes the fun taking it. Well, you know what you did, even if you pretend to forget.

And just like that, no one knows what really happened. It's late, there's other things besides going on about this. Maybe a novella could be written about that.
