Reading this. I'm sure launching into a 170 page flashback of a characters entire unabridged backstory 30 pages in feels very avant garde if you're the kind of person who only reads real books, but unfortunately it also happens to be the exact structure of every webcomic ever written.

I just finished Midnight Sun and it's been making me want more vampires kek. I just bought Carmilla the other day. Obviously Dracula if you haven't already. There's also Anne Rice Vamp series. Interview with a Vampire is pretty good. I've been considering re-reading it so I can read the two books after it (the Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned). Also Let the Right One in. There's also a book called Vampires of El Norte, takes place in the 1800s during the US-Mexico war, sounds very interesting for the setting but I haven't read it just yet to say if it's good or not.

Are any of you into poetry? Do you have some recommendations?

I've only ever read the famous ones, like Poe and that was for school. I really like Shelley's Ozymandias too.

Anyone read this? I picked it up on a total whim just because I heard Faulkner had an effect on Cormac McCarthy's style, and though I was a little underwhelmed by the overall plot of Blood Meridian, i felt the prose was pretty, so I wanted to go more in that direction.
In my honest opinion, this is a great book, especially if you can get used to the redneck-speak. It had great style and approach to storytelling, the chapter where Jewel worked nights at his neighbor's to earn his horse, in turn not being able to work for his family was a great story in itself. And It has been a while since books actually made me feel for the characters. When I ask people if they've read Faulkner, they make this stinkface and say The Sound and The Fury was dense, but this is really much more accessible and has just enough experimentation (stream-of-consciousness, inner dialogue stuff) for it to feel novel without it being a brainy, convoluted slog. I might even consider gifting it to one of my friends so they can read it, kek.

To really enjoy poetry, you kind of have to find your own taste for themes and language. I like Poetry Foundation for this purpose.
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/
You can search for specific tags to find poems you like. They also have poem guides if you want it to be explained better. I would just browse the website sometimes and read a few poems here and there, maybe a poem every day to turn it into a habit. If you like a poet's works, you can buy compilations of their poems, and if you're dead set on an author already, you can keep a book of their poems on the bedside table and read just one poem a day.
If you have an author you really like that has happened to have written poetry i'd check that out, too.
Otherwise I don't read a bunch of poetry, but I personally like many of Shakespeare's sonnets, Maya Angelou and Sylvia Plath, as well as Berthold Brecht and R.M. Rilke's stuff. Pretty basic taste in poetry except for Rilke (so far), but that's probably better to start with!
Also remember that poems should be approached differently than books. I read most poems several times, and sometimes I come back to my Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Me! I love this book so, so much, and I'm glad another nona enjoyed it. I've never been a huge fan of McCarthy, and I was also a little underwhelmed by Blood Meridian, so I completely relate to your post. I love how much there is to interpret within the characterization itself; there's a ton of unspoken depth. I like books that leave some parts up to the reader. I adore the redneck-speak personally. I can understand why it's off-putting for some people, but I love southern gothic literature kek. I own multiple copies of the book, including the shitty movie tie-in edition that makes me laugh every time I see it.

Why is Dirk so mischaracterized and self inserted into in comparison to all other Homestuck characters? Schizos, straight TIFs, lesbians, gays, BPDs, NPDs, literally everyone relates to him and yet constantly misunderstands him.

There was another one where the trolls were humans and the art style plus the characterization was ass, but it featured the Midnight Crew and had insane worldbuilding and a carapacian conlang, so I only read it for those reasons. I don't remember its name, so any nonna who knows about it, please do say.

Doubt, I think hes just going to continue the metrosexual thing. I dont think he'll actually troon, I get the feeling hes a little resentful of the ultrawoke stuff, theres the psycholonials thing where he subtly kind of refuted the gender stuff, and then there was that homestuck panel where he revealed Jane was Caucasian as a joke about so many people headcanoning his characters as black, but also changed it after people complained. I would be good money on not trooning

>what is transwashing
Transwashing is when a character is forcefully made into trans, even if they're just gnc, homosexual, or crossdressing. When a character dresses or behaves in a way outside of the gender stereotype associated with their biological sex, oftentimes fandoms (and, even the creators themselves to appear "woke") start perceiving them as trans. And, sometimes, even if those characters don't have "any sign of being trans", some people's head-canons becomes too out of control and fall into the gender ideology. This unfortunately happens to real people too.

Post those characters, discuss why they're transwashed, and vent if you want to. Please don't infight and ignore any shitty bait.

Nano from nichijou. I saw people on tumblr arguing that the scene in episode 14 where she admire her school uniform was her having her "skirt go spinny" moment as well as implying that the giant key on her back is a metaphor for her girl dick on display. This give me the ick because it give a layer of perversity to an anime that is otherwise innocent, with non-sexualized female characters that are relatable to young girls.
