/lit/ be cry Anonymous Wed Jan 30 20:33:14 2019 No.12506999 [Reply] [Original]

Isn't this part, if we're being honest, quite based and redpilled?

DFW knew the language was being polluted and thus made fun of how ebonics sound by spelling it out in actual words rather than stylising the words like they sound sonically.

hah, i can't even begin to imagine how I'd do all the different voices, lol

honestly i've recently been considering buying a microphone to give narrating a shot. I thought it'd be cool to do one for Sun and Steel to start with, because it's relatively short, and because the only ones i've seen online are shitty and cringy as fuck
