>Dante's courtly love for Beatrice continued for nine years, before the pair finally met again. This meeting occurred in a street of Florence, which she walked along dressed in white and accompanied by two older women. She turned and greeted him, her salutation filling him with such joy that he retreated to his room to think about her. In doing so, he fell asleep, and had a dream which would become the subject of the first sonnet in La Vita Nuova.

So is the ultimate redpill for a woman that 90 % of their 'subscribers' are perverts who just want to sniff their arm pits and stare at their feet? I wonder what that realization would feel like, that nothing you ever did actually mattered.

How do I deal with jealousy /lit/?
I know a guy who is literally a fucking pleb but he is now working as a screenwriter / writer on a bunch of popular shows and short films. He was educated at a top fee-paying school, his parents own at least one apartment in a high-end area of the city, he attended a top college, he worked in banking for a year or so after graduating then switched over into screenwriting etc.
What books will help me not feel resentful about this?
For context, I was raised by a single mom, attended a shit-tier school in a shit-tier town, attended a mediocre college, and now work as an office cuck while trying to write and publish something worthwhile.
The reason I know this guy is because he is dating a girl I fell for in an intense way. She showed interest in me a little but I assume she realized I was second-best compared to him.

It's possible to write a novel without plot? Or without characters?

yeah the first step is suicide

it's possible, but that's a bad way to go about it. if what you want to do requires that, okay. but don't set out to do that or you'll just get some conceptual art nonsense. not that that can't be done well, but you know what i mean

They are ripping off and badly translating Edda type prose. Read a lot of that.
>>
>>9514013
The narrative style of the Edda is not the same as Dark Souls.
>>9514008
OP, never give a coherent rundown on what happens in the past, just tidbits here and there, and namedrops by characters that are met and disregarded again.
You should, however, write a coherent rundown beforehand, only for yourself. Then take from that, when writing your actual work.
I recommend you to, if you haven't already, read the Silmarillion and then read The Lord of the Rings after that, and pay attention to how People refer to the events of the past three ages.

>You should, however, write a coherent rundown beforehand, only for yourself.
I already felt that this is necessary. It will make things a lot easier. But it becomes harder when you want to translate this logic story into that "lovecraftian mysticism".

I think enlightenment is bullshit. I think it's just a state of mind, a perspective that you can enter into and reside in, and that's it.
I think nonduality is retarded. It's escapist crap for people who are too sad to live their lives.
