take acid during a hot day, in nature, and walk back into the city.

This is weird. I just bought this book last night because I wanted to read something "fiction, written in English, from the past 20 years."

The reason I chose the pale king is that it has a king of clubs on the cover. The king of clubs is presently significant to me because I used it this valentine's day to apportion MDMA for my seasonal anti-depressant dose.

I choose to say this in spite of this board's zeitgeist, "loldrugs."

Ace of Wands reversed, Three of Pentacles, Five of Swords reversed.

Reality is collaborative imagination. The new year will bring about new friendships that will guide you into new ways of understanding your past. You're open to change, and that'll serve you well. You belong in this place, and this place belongs in you. Fulfillment will embrace your gargoyle next year. You've got what it takes to space shuttle into forever!

The Sun reversed, The Devil reversed, Ten of Wands.

This is a tough one, something I struggle with. There's an interesting relationship in the cards between optimism and detachment. Is it optimistic or naive to believe that nothing can truly touch you? Conceptualizing long periods of time is something unique to our species, and we do it all the time, searching our memory pools for reasons to believe or sometimes reasons that we're the victim of society. Lasting contentment is a burden. Just look at marriage. Return to a task every day and you'll find it. Forget about self discovery, self abasement to. Reality is made from transcendental material, learn from it.

Six of Cups reversed, Queen of Cups reversed, Eight of Cups reversed.

Wow, all reversed and suit of cups. That displays an emotional imbalance/turmoil relating to love. You aren't alone with that. Ladies think you're very charming and interesting but they may question if you can commit to them, they're thinking about their competition. You will pair well with an unpretentious girl, one whom may even surprise you with her disinterest in most of reality's gifts. You're nostalgic and gentle, and you'll probably end up having children though most likely not with Karen. But what the fuckdoIknow? Read poems about forest fires to yr lova.

Strength, The Tower Reversed, The Hanged Man reversed.

Alright buckle up my breather, these next few months are going to transform you. You will be greeted with a kind of problem that is new to you and you will need to seek advice who for whatever reason have less experience than you. Children are powerful and surprising guides, and their influence on the conscious sphere shouldn't be ignored. The cards say that you have the patience to master this inconvenience, but you will need to address some indecision and you will be confronted with the familiar confusion of not knowing who to trust. I might propose something that seems naive or too emotionally new-age but in order for you to accomplish your works before God you need to trust everyone. "Everyone" is supporting you, and because they want comfort for themselves they want comfort for you. It's up to you how much of that you actually want, but infinite resources are never a bad thing. You're gonna cry twice.

The Star, Temperance, Nine of Wands reversed.

The first two cards are very optimistic, and the last one is a drag. They suggest you will achieve success in many of your realms but you may experience a higher level of fear that you aren't used to. For the fear: put your breath into the whirlpool, jump off the swing, canonize the seas & give language to the fields. You will become a more thoughtful individual in a year, and you will have noticed many things about yourself that please you. Take those gifts, but don't revel in them of course. Over the course of the year you will witness 11 winks.

The Chariot reversed, Three of Pentacles reversed, King of Swords.

My reaction to that without consulting the cards is that you'd be missing the long-term implications of a reading from a deck without the major arcana. I don't advise it. The cards say this as well, the readings will be disorganized and bear no fruit. HOWEVER, if that's your style, disorganized and without a care go for it. You can practice on yourself. Personally, I don't just because I value the opinion of someone else over me and if I have the option to get a reading from someone else, why not? But I don't seek out readings very often. The jumping river will collide with pleasant stars . . .

Ten of Wands, Eight of Cups reversed, Six of Swords reversed.

Your intensity will only be attractive to certain kinds of people, seek those folks out. You will find a gf but only after a long period of friendship. You are a body. And you deserve compassion, trust all of that for who you are. Remind yourself constantly that the world loves revealing itself to you, and will be delighted to do so if you offer it your attention. Bitches come and go brah, but yung lean stays. There's a midnight gift in your perception. The key word in this reading is "offer," you want a gf so you can share yourself. Open up, "humanity is a system of imperfect allies against the universal front of poverty," everybody wants something. And you are wanted. Be well, Alan, and contribute to someone who matters to you.

Been a while since I did online readings, they're fun. Usually do them on /div/ but /lit/ has been my home-boy'd for a minute. Respond to this post with an image, your first, name a song, and a query (can be general) for a reading! Here's one I did for my friend a few weeks ago:

Five of Cups, Page of Swords, Eight of Cups

The process of human life is a cycle of grief, you're constantly learning how to grieve for each of your phases. You're coming out of a period where you believed you were very well defined into a more amorphous existence. Neither one is better it just depends on what you're used to. Stones collaborate into signs. Haunts echo but calmly. You have a lot more energy inside of you than you know how to use. The next phase of your life will be focused on channeling this energy. It might be a good time to learn how to play an instrument and join a band. Beware of frivolous engagemnents these coming weeks, don't let people toy with you or you will lose your spark of truth. Life is a creative reaction, and it needs your input to thrive. That doesn't mean you can't go into hiding if you want, but your contribution will be heard no matter what it is you choose to do and I believe you will choose the path to fulfillment.

/lit/ what do you think of my artwork i made with this guy from my poetry?

2 virtual coffins coming right up

i want to paint
snakebites on yr thighs,
i want the bleed to be
emerald flowers
i met yr guardian
angel—
mostly ribbons.

party like it’s the end
of telephone seagulls,
yr hair exciting seawater
tribulum. u call yrself “queen
internet” sending emails—stock
quotes—
to space aliens.

dreamcatcher one
with filibuster sass:
how will we divide
the chaotic fringe
with the wednesday world,
all full of intentional
giraffes.

i lead you to boulder
tincture. with yr dye
lying stupid like the spring.
face me precipicing
like an angry dawn.
adamantium tulip:
bruise her tired
lips with yr
poison.

video day

i remember
when i first saw you
in the science video
i was in the 8th grade
on prozac
wondering if the nice man
explaining geomagnetic reversal
ever thought about killing himself
the keyboard was soothing
and they showed your pretty face
for no reason
it made no sense
you were standing near the ocean
everyone in the class saw you
and kept watching

I don't like that idea. Not envisioning the scene in your mind kind of ruins the reading experience. Then again, I don't have the same problem as you and can change a character's appearance in my mind without changing the character. Although, sometimes I don't bother. If the author doesn't put much effort into describing their character, their appearance is generally not going to be relevant to the story and you can imagine them however you want without issue.

Well I had my first psychotic breakdown before I was 21. Heh.

I find myself spending more time engaged with shorter non-fiction works or novels than some much larger novels I've read in the past from start to finish. By this I mean reading a relevant passage that resonates with me quite a lot and I think about how it's relevant and why. Might be due to better literature I'm reading or that I have read more now obviously than before.

I'm interested to reread these books later in life and see how my perspective has changed and which other parts I might have glossed over strike me.
