Me too. It's frightening to think there's nothing but 60 more years of this, only worse.

I just want to cuddle and hold someone in bed :(

This is very likely.

You could try pic rel, the book is divided in types of incests, F/D, B/S, M/S etc. just jump right into the momcest section. most incest stories don't have happy endings tho

if she has a penis then how is she going to get impregnate by shotas?

William Law and Ascent of Mount Carmel for theology. I guess Robert E. Howard because he basically stomped out an entire genre but I haven't read him.
I have a collection of Conan stories lying around is it worth to dive in?

>The big book of Reddit quips to make your heckin' chonkerino laugh his guts out!

Anon the self-made millionaires are also pleb-milkers. Every globohomo shit was self-made at some point. They just target different audiences and it works, case in point: (you).

Reference comes to mind. Like reference for gods majesty. Awe. Honor.

I think overall it is laid on a bit thick just for a landscape description. I get the idea of the sense of deep respect for the vastness and majesty of natural forces that makes you aware of your own insignificance in comparison. Cosmic humility. But i think you have to make that be felt, not write it out. Somehow. Maybe just imply this sense of humbling feeling of insignificance yet divinely protected by letting the reader decide themselves if they can feel it or not and just stick to describing the setting that would make you or your prot feel this ancient sense of wonder.

Lots of self-made millionaires cite that book as a major influence, unironically. Pleb-milkers like Forbes poo-poo it THOUGH!

Yea, but that was before the internet.

'Sun And Steel' by Yukio Mishima, anon.

Also bumping because I want your recommendations, anons.

I love the last (i think it was the last, the one with the super computer) chapter of that book
>"Christ, what an imagination I've got!"
kino
The book is so prescient and well written than it doesn't even make me miserable and instead it just left me amazed. The Jagged orbit, also by Brunner has some disturbingly prescient passages too.
>Be an individual!'“ Conroy contrived to make the slogan sound obscene. “And what's this been twisted into? The biggest Big Lie in history! It's no use making your life so private you refuse to learn from other people's experience—you just get stuck in a groove of mistakes you need never have made.
>We have more knowledge available at the turn of a switch than ever before, we can bring any part of the world into our own homes, and what do we do with it? Half the time We advertise goods people can't afford, and anyhow they've got the color and hold controls adrift because the pretty patterns are fun to look at when you've bolted and barred your mind with drugs. Split! Divide! Separate! Shut your eyes and maybe it'll go away!
>“We mine our gardens, we close our frontiers, we barricade our cities with Macnamara lines to shut off black from white, we divide, divide, divide!” A stamp emphasized each repetition of the word. “It gets into our families, goddamn it, it gets into our very lovemaking!
>Christ, do you know I had a girl student last year who thought she was having an affair with a boy back home and all they'd ever done was sit in front of the comweb and masturbate at each other? Twenty miles apart! They'd never even kissed! We're going insane, our whole blasted species—we're heading for screaming ochlophobia! Another couple of generations and husbands will be afraid to be alone in the same room with their wives, mothers will be afraid of their babies, if there are any babies!
>“And for what purpose? Why are we encouraging the spread of this lunacy? I mean we here, in North America. I don't mean the Afrikaners sitting smug on top of their pullulating heap of poor black devils hungry, half-naked and diseased, the richest people in the world battening on the poorest. That's just greed, which is a comparatively clean kind of vice. I'm talking about perversion, horrible, disgusting, systematic, deliberate perversion of the power of Reason to destroy people without killing them, to strip them of their initiative, their joy in life, their hope, for Christ's sake, their last ultimate irreducible human resource, hope.
>Out of sheer desperation millions of people are abandoning the use of reason, bankrupting themselves to buy mass-produced Plastic idols, in a last puerile attempt to outdo the bastards who've made 'Reason' a dirty word.

Fuck me. I brain farted and mashed "could feel a" and "had a" in that second line. Pick one, either one works.

>>23413031
fav work of his?

They do care, but women are the passive principle (I hate the active-passive dichotomy, actually, but I'm using it here because it is a useful simplification for our current purposes). They need to be energized by male vigor. This is no less true of intellectual pursuits.

Read Song of Songs—Biblical poetry which reveals a lot about the nature of Men and Women. Also keep an eye on the intellectual male-female pairs of history and you'll notice how many times a brilliant woman enters a field because of a man's influence upon her (this works in reverse too, but the reverse process is different).

True, xianxia is so good as a genre it's basically a drug.

Anyway, me personally (keep in mind I am a subpar newbie), I would perhaps write it something like this

>The mountain reigned over Heaven and Earth, commanding the attention of all who could see it, and implicitly issued a bold challenge to any fools daring enough to attempt taming it. One could had a vague sense of inferiority when looking upon it, and you could swear the mountain itself looked upon everyone with derision, as if majesty was baked into it's very bones.
