Who are some authors who elaborated on the armpit fetish, the only one I know of is Huysmans in Parisian Sketches.

Why does everyone think that even if someone has the mental capacities of a potato he still deserves to live?

I see potato downies cleaning the food court of a mall located adjacent to my office building. It makes me happy that they're working and not getting mac 'n cheese goo stuck to their legos in their poor mother's garage.

Does that mean killing babies too? I'm interested....

Get off your high horse and acknowledge that nothing is "profound". If you think you're profound then you're just doing the ol' pretentious mental masturbation.

Tbqhwyfam, I only read to pretend to be smart. I want attention from people by using difficult words.
How do I go back to the "core" of being?

even if you're smart, you're not that smart. you will invariably run into those who know more about any one given thing than yourself.
so, don't try to seem smart, but be interesting instead. i start off with a broad knowledge of things (biology, periods in history and lit, etc.) and develop niches that suit my interest. as long as you've diversified your knowledge, are a good listener and decent speaker, you can make others interested in what you know (and, in turn, interested in you).
don't take yourself seriously, be polite, and address each person as if they were the only one in the room—without forgetting the others present.

it started with cadvaers, i just wanted to study atonomy but destiney had greater plans.
mobsters wanted to change there faces, and i had the means to do it for 20Gs a face. then i got addicited, "how far could i take this" i thought as ran my scaplel over one face just to replace it with one of the dead i had laying around in my unorthadox morge.
then while i was draining an adrienal glad to sell to some biker statist my door bell rang. a man who had half half his face blown off was in my peep-hole. he was claiming that he was my next door neighbohr and that he just needed some sugar, i belived one of those statements just to let him in to add to my collection and research, but while he sumpled in and i herd the sirens ring by like a banshee i knew he was THE speicmen. i knew he didnt have a family that cared about him or any one that would look for him. so i told him that i would make him unrecanizable, but i dont think we had the same intentions. he layed down on my table i just had a cadaver on not 5 minutes before with full trust. i put my mask on him and told him to count down from 10, he didnt last untill 7. then i went to work.
i wanted to make sure id have a perfect work enviroment so i started with a y-cut down his chest and then streched his rips so i had a clear path to his heart that i could add too. i added a few more ventarcles so i could place another heart and a another set of lungs then a whole set of other internal organs for my master plan.
it took a year, and over 100,000 dollars to make atlas but hes made. the hardest part was the brain. if i had known that it would take that much work i would have planned out further but it all worked out and now i have a golem. a four armed indestructable monster who does my biding. my only fear is that he'll start thinking on his ownbvkdjf,q agyfrwaefivuhhgvfzg'gb/zlkdjflkbz.drklg/lxkd'lzk/d';zldsrg please heluhyasdfuyhakyuhaeuky

Is this OC? Not bad, i'd keep working it though. The structure is playing with the reader, holding back details and slowly revealing. Try stretching that further. Imagine reading dozens of pages without really knowing who the surgeon is and what there motivations and desires are. That's horror.
Have you seen "The Skin I Live In" with antonio banderas? Crazy ass film, very related.
>>
>>9974873
It's shit. Literally everything about it is garbage. Style, content, all of it. What the fuck's a "ventarcle"? Learn to spell beyond a 2nd grade level. You can do so much better, I know it.
>>
This misspelling adds to this.
I wonder how I could contextualize crazy, off-the-staticy-dome forum writing to be enjoyed by a reading audience. It's an aesthetic I feel strongly about, but I just don't know how you could honestly get it in front of anyone and have it be taken seriously.

Can you recommend any books that pick up on the nuances and quirks of the human experience that you hadn't considered until you read it? I guess Nausea would be an example.

I never understood what "she turned the color of milk" or "her skin turned translucent" ment until I saw someone's blood pressure fuckin' DROP and they nearly passed out. That skin color, you can't even replicate. Translucent, milky, slight green tint. It was amazing.

After seeing so many threads on philosophy around here, I rented out this book hearing that it was a good introduction. I'm about halfway through it now and everything I've read so far is just being nit-picky about word choice and explaining what does and doesn't exist in a superfluous way. Is this really how philosophy works or is this book just memeing me?

You should have started with Plato. Then when you've reached Russell down the line you can laugh at him and the other analytics.

Russell as a historian of philosophy was a nonce who wrote arrogant misrepresentations for money. I seriously hope you won't let him influence you much.
