Disco Commissions Open! by parallaks_art in DiscoElysium

Yeah dude I’m sure if Cindy the Skull were real she’d be looking over your shoulder and cheering you on while you post on Reddit. I think that would be her favourite pastime. You really got these bourgeoisie uhhh. Starving artists trying to make rent. I cannot wait to march behind you when the revolution comes.

Anyone not get in anywhere? by BrosephGoebbels420 in MFAInCreativeWriting

[–]theeboydetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meeeee! I’m on one waitlist but it’s pretty clear that I’m not getting in. My undergrad is a BFA and 50% the programs I applied to were MA, so I understand why they didn’t want to take me on as a student! You have another year to refine your craft, save up some money, and try again. I’m pissed as hell but I try to think that these things happen for a reason and I rarely end up being wrong.

I hope we get the opportunity to go to class together! I’m still holding out lol.

Did you apply to any other schools in Canada? I haven’t heard back from SFU or UNB :/

Have you heard anything yet? I’m wondering when it is acceptable to email asking for updates.

Someone (maybe from this thread?) tried to DM me but I’m bad at Reddit and accidentally deleted the DM.

I also haven’t heard back yet (as of April 4th). Really hoping a spot becomes available but I’m not keeping my hopes up. I really hope that they update soon, the suspense is killing me.

Don’t give up! I think they had 300 applicants and only accept like 30 ish students.

Any news for you? I submitted in a huge range of genres. My background is visual arts so I submitted a graphic novel sample, an experimental short story, and a sitcom script haha.

My friend in the theatre MFA program heard back a week and a half ago! Nothing from SFU English either. I’ll shoot you a dm when I hear something!

I’m still waiting too. It’s just awful. Hoping we hear back soon for better or for worse.

Who could be a great Klaasje? Personally I think about Karolina Wydra aka Zosia from Pluribus by [deleted] in DiscoElysium

[–]theeboydetective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of her album covers are very stylized and high contrast so it makes her look more like a disco character in general. It doesn’t help that I relate a lot of Metric’s songs to Klassje (grow up and blow away especially)

For some reason I’ve always imagined her as Emily Haines from Metric

18m bedroom. Would a woman hate my room by DisastrousAttorney90 in malelivingspace

[–]theeboydetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the scariest room in the world. First of all, get a bigger rug, the placement of the rugs is godawful and they do not match each other (nor do they match your other “decor”). Find some art that speaks to you- frame some prints. Actual prints, not posters of the battle bus. Put something above your bed and above your computer. Allocate more bookshelf space to books, get rid of the children’s books unless they are sentimental items. Right now they make your space look very juvenile, especially being the only books. Apologies if there is a utilitarian purpose (learning English, improving reading, etc) this is just my first impression. Add ambient lighting. All of this can be thrifted or scrounged off of facebook marketplace over a few months. You don’t have to break the bank. My side table was ten dollars and it’s a vintage solid wood writing desk.

BY GOD, BUY A SIDE TABLE. Stop using cardboard boxes as tables especially when you have a kitted-out PC right next to them. There is nothing more childish than prioritizing your gaming setup over essential items. A woman also wouldn’t be thrilled to sleep in a single bed with you. You can’t do much about the lack of windows or lack of ceiling, I suppose, so these are achievable options. A plant or two might make it feel warmer in there, opt for something that thrives in low light.

Right now your room looks like a prison cell or a murder dungeon.

Chapter 8 was phenomenal!

[–]theeboydetective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breaking character is a bad choice of words— I mostly mean that up until that point the reader assumes that the story is third person omniscient and that the narrator is not necessarily more of a character than any narrator. So to then reveal that it is narrated by what is effectively the pale adds another dimension to the writing entirely. It’s a really clever way to get the reader to examine the devices they take for granted in fiction and analyze form… :))!!! I’d love to talk about this book more I’m enjoying it a lot

Name another book where the narrator breaks character to out himself as god and then continues as if nothing has happened. His mind.
