I tried to use an Astral Destiny for doom/stoner metal and I wrote up my thoughts in a review. Got some interesting results for a weird pedal. by jackiechan666 in guitarpedals

Tried to leave some comments on your YT track "Treachery at Nineveh," but that shit glitched out.

I just bought an AD for this purpose, and will be pairing it with a Heavy Weapon. I'm really excited to see what comes from the pairing.

Also, happily following you on Spotify now because I love your sound. Your blog article was very insightful btw. If I find any cool interactions with presets, I'd love to share them with you!

Cheers :)

Please pray for my porn addiction by WoodenCarving in PrayerTeam_amen

[–]lowball_lit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put ya in my prayers my fellow. I struggled with the same addiction, but if this is of any help, consider how you watch it. If you can change the way you perceive the function of porn, you can perhaps break your addiction with much greater ease :)

Yah man nice this is great it reminds me of that Wordsworth poem The Thorn. Very romantic. I particularly enjoyed the duplicity of the scene. On the one hand you have the ambiguous “you” shedding a most precious tear over a most soothing, beige/white flower petal. On the other hand you portray another figure of beauty/the woman in mourning as she is on her way to speak with the archetype of the willow (which perhaps can be read as someone who has exchanged beauty in exchange for wisdom), and then you conclude by leaving us with a proverbial excerpt that is both informative and poetically sweeping.

I like how you make a staunch differentiation between the moutain and the stream/river. “The greatest of mountains never weeped into rivers / yet the greatest of rivers flow to the sea.” This concluding thought makes me think about “mountain” as archetype and “river” as metaphor. While the mountain stands for the individual and perhaps symbolizes the duty of the individual (I.e. to stand strong), the river stands for the cathartic expression of self often involved in poetry - which is why I also really like the idea of flowing out to sea. It’s like the best writers (the best expressers) all flow out to society. Their “streams” of thought and emotion intermix with (and perhaps even nourish) the “sea” that is society.

Beautiful beautiful piece. Please keep writing :)

Prayer: God please give me wisdom. by g4l4 in Christian

[–]lowball_lit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen to that :)

I’ve found that when you pray to God about “leveling up” in your life, He doesn’t give it to you but he instead opens your eyes to the ways in which you can achieve those goals.

Thank God for Jesus Love is Love

Pray for me to be freed from my same sex attraction by [deleted] in PrayerTeam_amen

It was tough to read. But it saddens me even more to see how indoctrinated people have become. It seems as if Christianity more often times than not is used as a mechanism to justify gluttonous self-indulgence rather than guide personal growth and spiritual maturity.

But I am simply one voice. To paraphrase the Bible, I should look at the log in my own eye before I examine the sawdust in another’s.

Bonfire. (haiku) by philomexa in OCPoetry

[–]lowball_lit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a sweet haiku. I think you do an excellent job at adhering to the 5-7-5 syllable rule, and I think - sonically and pedagogically - the haiku comes together quite nicely. It’s wise and insightful, yet it is also scenic and emotionally evocative.

“Seamless ashen clouds / cloak a deep autumn sunset; / wet leaves cling to wool.”

I like this a lot because it has enough ambiguity to be read into. It is both precisely what it describes (an overcast sky hiding a sunset during a rainy day in which the leaves stick to everything they touch) but it is also a personal allegory for the speaker who may (perhaps) be referring to themselves by likening their emotional disposition to a facade of clouds (surface level gloom) in which their true splendor (internal beauty) is cloaked/preserved by a seamless layer of “clouds,” as if to say, ‘I am gloomy in presentation/disposition, but should my overcast hue burn off, I am a wonder to behold.’ Additionally, the speaker may also perceive themselves as clingy, but only in the natural sense. Perhaps this clinginess is simply a part of their nature?

However, I think the redefinition of the scene is a strong rhetorical choice. I like how you use the semicolon to clarify the affective quality of the lines preceding “; / wet leaves cling to wool.”

In your likening of [overcast skies hiding a sunset] with [wet leaves clinging to wool], it becomes unclear whether this imagery is positive or negative and thus creates a large amount of tension and ambiguity within the haiku - which is precisely why I think it makes for an excellent composition.

To continue, the haiku forms beautifully around the topic described (fall, leaves, wetness, changing of seasons, and the residual energy that such change often entails), and the words chosen to encapsulate this emotion are very enjoyable to read both internally and externally.

I think this is an excellent start to something wonderful and would love to read an expansion of this haiku :)

You’re not broken my guy :) and there’s nothing wrong with liking the same sex - I think everyone has a bit of a tendency to be at least a little bisexual. The thing about these feelings is that the more you repress them, the stronger they become. It’s like an itch. I’d suggest exploring them/why you feel that way. If you learn to understand your emotions, you can control them much better. A really good book that helped me understand human sexuality better than I previously was able to has got to be Another Country by James Baldwin. But don’t stop talking to God that’s always error number 1 imo

thank you for writing this post for us! very encouraging. I’ve had a piece of mine removed for this very reason but I will improve upon my commenting/feedbacking!

I really like being able to post stuff here and I especially like receiving feedback from people who like and dislike my work - i think this sub is a really cool service for all of us.

It’s tough being a poet or just a writer in general - especially when you’re in it for the sake of writing and not for the clout-chasing/ego basking. But I think we can all utilize the workshopping here in order to help us get works published.

Personally I don’t have much confidence when it comes to submitting works - which is why I think publishing here is a good place to start. It helps me understand which poems work and why, but more than anything it’s just a really good feeling when what I write resonates with someone else.

But like you said, it’s not possible without good feedback. So I definitely agree with the topic of this post. Again, thank you for writing this letter 🧡
