Thread for those who like to read and write including fanfiction. Share drafts, look for beta-readers, ask for writing advice, give recommendations and do all that other cool jazz. Just remember to not bully anyone else no matter how shit their taste might be.

Wait its just a shitty gary stu face slapping story. Goddamn

I've been watching the handmaid's tale and for some reason it makes me want to write a Commando crossover fic where Matrix fucks up Gilead

wack.

>>45756
I had a bunch of funny ones from ao3 but I lost them, this is the only one I have on my phone

>>44997
I write "literary" fiction as well (though I haven't yet finished a novel) and I figure I'll never get anything published either.



 

A general for "western" animations/cartoons.
Gonna start off with a recommendation to watch The King and the Mockingbird the 1980 version especially, absolutely comrade-pilled movie.

it's ok as far as "wot if superman but he wuz evil" kind of writing goes. i couldn't stand the boys, so that should tell you something. it annoys me how many simpletons the show attracts though, too many free-thinkers who think the CIA dude is great, as if the show wasn't bending itself backwards to make that character look as good as possible, it's nolan batman levels of glowie propaganda lol

>>45620
You say the writing is bad and the show bends over backwards to make Cecil look good but the show regularly shows you that he's an opportunistic piece of shit. Every evil thing Mark defeats he gives to the boys in the research lab. he even takes a Dr. Mengele tier criminal and puts him at the head of the GDA's corpse desecration program

>>45619
I don't speak Japanese, and I do expect the japanese dialogue to be garbage in most animes. Even the subs and dubs are frequently garbage too.

An example of what I mean in Invincible. Episode season 1 episode 5. Some dude goes to a mafia boss to finish paying his debt. The Mafia boss says he's too valuable to let him simply leave. The dude gets enraged and breaks the boss's desk. The tone is serious and the dude looks distressed.

Then a ridiculous exchange happens. First of all, the boss isn't intimidated. Then he starts mockingly screaming "yeah, see! See! Impressive shit like that is exactly why I'm never letting you go!" right in the dude with superpowers face. It doesn't make sense, he's being blackmailed into serving this mafia boss just for being strong? It's idiotic. It's not blackmail. Nothing keeps him from serving this random ass boss. Besides, can't the strong dude just kill the boss?

Then the tone changes completely into a comic one-liner tone, the boss says "plus, now you gotta pay for the desk, too 😜. This is imported Italian maple! 😜". It's not funny. It breaks the supposed seriousness of the scene. It's a super dumb one liner. And the series is filled with this type of unfunny shitty wink wink "jokes".

>>45640
It's like it's written by a sheltered white guy that thinks saying phrases like "that's gonna leave a mark!" and "you're barking up the wrong tree!" is the pinnacle of humor.

>>45591
Then you would probably like any [EDITED] video or ytp from back in the day.
It's just that, but users back then genuinely enjoyed them instead of being smug and acting like the reddit atheist of yesteryear; you just can't like the funny swear video alone, it has to be against someone or be only "''ironic'" even when it's not even accurate, again act like you have to be superior a "superior" redditor instead just liking the funny swears.

So you might be looking at the name of this thread and thinking Language learning as a hobby? Why yes, this thread is to be dedicated to those that are learning a new language as a hobby.

Not only this but to provide resources for those that wanna get help with their progress and just talk about their language learning journey.

>still making salads with lettuce and not substituting better greens
This is why you fail

File: 1729701531278.jpg (419.14 KB, 700x700, peasant-food-ai5.jpg)

Lets take this up a notch, what meals could you make under 1€? Assuming you eat 3 meals a day, it has to be 700kcal or more.
Macronutriens should not be a problem, legunes, rice, TVP, oats, seeds, they last forever, you can get a big bag of them at bargain price. Vitamins on the other hand, I dont know. A single broccoli takes half of your daily food budged. Carrots are cheaper, frozen spinach is very cheap and very nutrient dense.

Bumping for poverty survival advice.

>>44006
Actually my grandmas potato salad is the greatest salad on earth and it has no greens

>>44060
my most common reasons for going over this budget are meat or cheeses, otherwise this is accurate to my meals.
>>44061
i don't make salads actually.
>>45724
then it's not a salad. i've never seen it served as anything other than a condiment as well.

Does this website have anything meaningful to say in terms of media analysis or are their tropes just invented by a couple of redditors that wanted to develope a niche project?

This. Comparing things to "reddit" is fucking retarded. Thinking that people can BE reddit is retarded. There's no competition between reddit and other websites. These fucking faggots supposedly loathe reddit so much and yet they give it such power by always, always, constantly referencing it as an insult to people who don't even use it. People made their choice and they're here. And the second they're not edgy enough or they're too mature that's the insult: "Go back". Go be with those "regular" people with their normal opinions, or whatever the actual crime of reddit even is. There's no way to tell from context. Just anything the accuser doesn't like becomes "reddit".
Did these people get kicked out of there or something? Who pays any attention? I'd never know anything about reddit if it weren't constantly mentioned on imageboards as some sort of bad place for dorks or something.
It's basically free advertising. I don't understand.



 

I love you guys lol

Ever since it I've been thinking of how you could set up an AI to judge an oekaki or something. Oekapcha, if you will.

>>45547
Wouldn't even really need AI, just some way to check it isn't static, and something to check if it's unique would deter some more primitive bots.

ITT we discuss business strategy and help other anons escape wage slavery, build a business that subverts capitalism from within, and become ethical petty booj with a lefty perspective in mind.

This is for serious discussion only, keep focused on the topic and don't derail the thread.

>but "can we have a quick chat on zoom to go over your order" and then during that chat, if you have a good relationship, let them know that it'll be better for both of you if you can pay direct.


Yep done this myself. Actually everything you say tracks with my experience too. Clients who I have managed to take off the platform are usually happy to pay a little more, and it's a lot less alienating when at least I can build up a relationship with them over time.

I do copywriting too, but struggle to get regular work, despite getting good reviews. At the moment, I'm barely getting an order a month. May I ask you for any tips on getting more work there?

>medieval period was all gloomy so fantasy medieval land must also be dark with people drenched in mud

>>45673
It's not even supposed to be medieval really. They can make it look however they want. It's also a case of thinking dark and gritty = prestige TV for mature audiences such as myself.

>>45674
Indeed it's not medieval. Taking literally not even ASOIAF or The Witcher are medieval because the societies they represent are only aesthetically and superficially influenced by Europe: there's no confluence of Germanic migrations interacting with an old Roman power to create something new.

Someone probably studied this but it's a 'medieval' aesthetic made true by an stereotyped view of the Middle Ages that seeped into entertainment media.
