How did it feel when you first read Moby Dick and you arrived at the part which best describes you?
"And let me in this place movingly admonish you, ye ship-owners of Nantucket! Beware of enlisting in your vigilant fisheries any lad with lean brow and hollow eye; given to unseasonable meditativeness; and who offers to ship with the Phædon instead of Bowditch in his head. Beware of such an one, I say; your whales must be seen before they can be killed; and this sunken-eyed young Platonist will tow you ten wakes round the world, and never make you one pint of sperm the richer. Nor are these monitions at all unneeded. For nowadays, the whale-fishery furnishes an asylum for many romantic, melancholy, and absent-minded young men, disgusted with the carking cares of earth, and seeking sentiment in tar and blubber. Childe Harold not unfrequently perches himself upon the mast-head of some luckless disappointed whale-ship, and in moody phrase ejaculates:—"

“Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll!
Ten thousand blubber-hunters sweep over thee in vain.”

Very often do the captains of such ships take those absent-minded young philosophers to task, upbraiding them with not feeling sufficient “interest” in the voyage; half-hinting that they are so hopelessly lost to all honorable ambition, as that in their secret souls they would rather not see whales than otherwise. But all in vain; those young Platonists have a notion that their vision is imperfect; they are short-sighted; what use, then, to strain the visual nerve? They have left their opera-glasses at home."

This is the filter chapter, it's purpose is to arouse the homosexual mind into a gay stupor and lead it down a stray path where it cannot receive the true gifts of the book and cannot access the knowledge gifted to men by reading the great book. The evidence of this is quite clear in your obsession with this post, you have been filtered.

I didnt find any one passage that I really identified with as far as I remember, but I remember identifying the most with Starbuck and a little bit with Stubb. Which is probably not unusual, as they are described better than Ishmael and aren't either batshit insane or complete morons like everyone else on board.

bros I spent over an hour and I finally hunted down the full gallery of her pics, kindly collected by another anon in /s/ from a year ago.
it was sort of worth it? she's very attractive and the pictures are all just home-made risque shots of her posing, all taken by her friend 'Jess' who put them on wickr, and then privated all the explicit ones. in the end there's no onlyfans, no full frontals, no whoring herself out, just a brief erotic experiment, just before the internet was sufficiently active and highly reticulated to name and distribute her images as quickly as today.
It's wholesome and to be honest I was much happier to find this than to find more explicit pornography. I don't know why I was so drawn to these photos, and hadreturned to this thread so many times in last few days hoping somebody had found a sauce. I still don't have her name (though I worked out her initials). Maybe that's what I was drawn to in the photos; the fact that she didn't want and never did end up trying to monetise or distribute her erotica. In the end she is exactly as innocent as she appears.
I won't post the rest but here's a screenshot to prove it's out there if you want to find it. Good luck.
