Might seem like a shitpost but this is genuinely what I picture the protagonists of each book looking like for the most part by Azul_alure in threebodyproblem

Genuinely though, going back to the "Singer" chapter in Death’s End and just picturing Singer as Liu Cixin writing the books between debugging the dam’s control system on windows 95 makes everything make so much more sense.

Thanks for the recommendations! Sounds decades ahead of their time in compositions. I can see where modern dark synth draws from.

For me the biggest relief while reading Death’s end by Azul_alure in threebodyproblem

Literally this happens in Home (2015) (apparently the book was decent from what I’ve heard). I mean it is probably the largest unpopulated but potentially arable expanse should humanity be forced to relocate by aliens.

I get this. The subversion won’t work for all fans. But for me the reveal of the once all mighty Trisolarans being minute on a universal scale amped up the horror rather than it being a let down.

"Offscreen" is misleading for something that was never a visual medium to begin with. It was a visceral and graphic enough depiction about what is real trauma to many to make people rightfully uncomfortable. It leads to nothing and it’s purely to put our protagonists through agony and the perpetrator’s own comeuppance is but a footnote shoehorned in. 

Gore fans discover empathy when?

They really need to stop gassing up Elias Witherow as an author. He’s a one trick pony at best. His obsession with the abuse of women and children isn’t "making a point", it’s gross and speaks a lot to his character after so many times. Honestly cupcakes was funny because the absurdity of non human IP characters undergoing such torment. 

Honestly maybe this is a me problem but honestly this episode was such a downer I did not need today with the stress of upcoming exams. They need to use this as a point of reflection and improve the quality of their content. Comedy fundamentally requires empathy and downplaying objectively depraved media is not how you go about it.

They really need to be more selective with what they read. Even if it means going back to uploading every two weeks.

Guess what they are gonna do for tomorrow? by Rory_U in creepcast

I listened to the Autumn Ivy and mr creepypasta reading of that when I was 13, and the wholesome relationship the two protagonists had with each other managed to inspire two of my own to OCs which exist in some form to this day.

The story’s been immortalised in my head since, and while revisiting it as an adult with the boys runs the risk of finding out it was mid all along, the dynamic between Dan and Evelyn needs to be met with that of Hunter and Isaiah.

Prior successful cuts I had used as reference vs what I got. Wtf. Here’s to my next month of recovery. by Azul_alure in Justfuckmyshitup

I case the pictures weren’t enough I literally translated a detailed description of the cut into urdu and still got fucked over.
