just finished the wheel of time and i feel lost and alone in the wilderness
help me /lit you're my only hope

anybody got any recommendations on some dark, gritty style fantasy series?

walking that line
of sheer anxiety
don't let it get you down
it's just disillusions of self-image
that times bring
and it's all about becoming
whole...you see
so don't sweat
walking that line of
sheer anxiety
reach out towards
embracing of self
on the larger sca;e
and the ego will
rest easy my friend

The world is safer when
we hold on
to what use to be's
that way we don't worry
'bout whats to come
of course if we stay on
the faithful
holding on is just
an illusion
cause aint no fix
points in space
just change changing
and you say
permanence
and i want to be happy
OK take it for now
holding on
to extract that essence
then let go-clear out
something else is in store

They were searching for him. the beams of light sliced through the darkness briefly illuminating various parts of the forest. His legs were tired from being forced into the awkward position necessary for him to remain unseen. His sister yelled out for him. Evoking an emotional response that he quickly ignored. From his elevated position he could clearly see his house off in the distance. It was framed perfectly by the hills that rose to either side of it. The lights were on, giving him a clear view of the now empty kitchen. The chairs were still scattered around the room, the chaos forgotten after his abrupt departure. She cried out again, somewhere beneath him. her voice moving further away, the light no longer visible. He would stay there till morning then leave, never to return. He knew she would keep looking for him for weeks.

Excitement and anticipation courses through them. The group is nervous and the unnatural silence is notable. it is not the perfect day or time for this. They have been standing in a line quietly and patiently for 10 minutes now, waiting for some external stimuli to force their hand. Restlessness becomes a problem, clearly some people are eager to begin but the silence dominates the room. One person says, "fuck it" and starts towards the door. The last person in line smiles as soon as she opens her mouth.

Why is it funny? First of all, it was somebody making their living/ fame off of the back of another man's legacy (and what an interesting man's legacy to pick). All of this happens without the actual Hitler leaping in to the picture, the book even says that its Gladney's Hitler. Hitler as a person never emerges in the book. As an academic, wrapped up in his own prestige and in his own life and his own preoccupation with death, he has completely removed the historical significance of Hitler by creating an entire department around him. He's taken what Hitler represents and deconstructed it to the point where Hitler is now just a thing.

In the book, there is literally no difference between "Hitler studies" and "Banana Sunday Studies". It's a sort of laugh while you cry thing.
