What's so great about blood meridian?
Prose, themes, subtlety, atmosphere, and the judge
That sounds gay dude
It is a very gay book from a very gay author.
There are videogame novelizations that you can read instead
I kneel
>cormac mccarthy
>subtlety
This, disappointingly boring novel just like the rest of his
filtered
period appropriate prose with beautiful page long sentences. Also lots of neat allusions to bible/inferno/moby dick for Ganker nerds
>beautiful page long sentences
I can appreciate that it's good literature, but this was very annoying. I was never madder reading any of his books.
It's hard to get into at first but I picked up a rhythm pretty quickly, it's kind of like Mason & Dixon in that regard. Really the hardest parts are the vocabulary and dialogue not having quote marks. Untranslated spanish too but that's intentional
>fromslop
Good book but it's memed on Ganker because it was supposed to be filmed decades ago but plans fell through and it became a meme that it is "unfilmable". It's by the guy who wrote The Road and No Country for Old Men, so it's a very brutal and violent western.
It IS unfilmable, just like Moby Dick or Paradise Lost.
>just like Moby Dick
bullshit, both the gregory peck movie and the patrick stewart movie were kino
That cuts out the cetology and whaling sections, which are like 60% of the book
I don't know I didn't really like it, almost everyone I know bounced off it (even online) and found it incredibly grueling to read. I watched a Yale lecture about it and the professor remarked that it was often boring, aimless and repetitive. I read it and although it had some enjoyable sections they were not long and most of the book was not pleasant to read (not because of the violence fyi).
How is it anything like Harry Potter? lol
Judge is a based pedochad and the main protagonist of the story
americans read it in school so its one of the only books they are familiar with
There's no way this would ever be required reading in US schools it's too violent and every third word is Black person. It is the greatest American novel though so it should be required reading.
>every third word is Black person
oh so this is why Ganker pretends its good
I got assigned to read it over the summer in 2014 when i was in hs and then when school started no one else had read it
im not american though
You've been poisoned by the American mind virus through excessive exposure to American online communities. You consume books only Americans care about, you probably think N64 was the definitive system of the late 90s, you believe Halo was a social phenomenon around you. You've been brainwashed.
meds
I am mediterranean, yes.
meds
not at any school I knew
That sounds awful
No thanks
It's just neat
Nothing really its just pseudslop for mutts
The Judge
The prose is great, so if you can enjoy a book just for the quality of the language, it’s worth reading. It’s also quite singular in its bleakness. I would recommend The Crossing over it though; that’s also quite bleak but it’s full of beautiful, lucid imagery. Possibly too much for some tastes as he does go on with descriptions of people and landscapes but I loved it.
Reading real westerns is badwrongfun because it doesn't shit on whitey for dealing with brutal warrior indians on equal terms but shit from McCarthy is sufficiently self-flagellating and "realistic" (read: exaggerating how evil and brutal people were) and the terseness and run-on-sentences is sufficiently "literary" for critic homosexuals to praise it ad nauseam.
Just as a word of advice, nobody here who tries to criticize or complain about Blood Meridian and uses the 4Black person vocabulary like "slop" have no fricking clue what they're talking about and have never read it.
>t. four years arguing with morons and not a single one has ever brought a genuine criticism
you're too stupid to bother with
The entire book is "white man bad" so americans naturally love it
Its rick and morty for boomers, literally
>mary sue know it all old guy
>nihilistic themes
>fans cant stop huffing their own farts
Really feels like the western days
No idea Mcarthy just uses punctuation as a suggestion rather than the rule so shit can be weird to read
The violence is so extreme and constant that I just droned it out to the point I didnt even pick up on the implication that the Judges dual identity as xXdickyslayerXx until the end of the book It was just more violence that fell into the background noise of it Maybe thats the purpose but it doesnt strike me as especially deep The Judge is based as frick though
>Harry Potter for blackpilled incels
read another book
It is more like Moby Dick for edgelords
Like Moby Dick is Paradise Lost for the kind of moron who buys encyclopaedias to pad out their bookshelf?
Now imagine one with a map even larger than the map you're thinking of!
Why would anyone want another open world from game? And one set in a realistic desert at that
>why no murder tourism and epic Injun scalping!?!?!??
The fact that you have to ask the question is the answer.
Too bad there aren't 10 hour lore videos to explain the point of books to thick-headed mongoloids like yourself.
>too bad there aren't 10 hour lore videos to explain the point of books
?si=U9JrV0SGqgOMQUt4
and just like the vidya equivalent it's just plot summary and excerpts
funny how he completely misinterprets the point of the book.
It's not that misaligned with what Souls is like already tbh. You kill people and collect their tongues and shit.
That's true. And you can also murder frick children.
People said this about GRR Martin collaboration, but Miyazaki was apparently more of a fan of some obscure vampire novels of Martin's than ASoIaF.
I read that and it was about a fat ugly guy on a boat.
sounds like utter kino, too bad it's unfilmable.
I like it to be more like New Vegas or any other less shit games than souls slop.
Lets settle it once and for all scholars did the man reject the judge?
He didn't partake in the dance, thus he rejected him. But the Judge did not.
what exactly makes this book so shocking that The Road can get a movie but it can't? give me a good example of an unfilmable scene.
The gay rape scene might be considered homophobic by modern leftBlack folk
It's not because it's shocking, it's because half of it is long winded descriptions of landscapes. Last year another production was announced, so we'll see if anything comes from that
The Road had sections which were cut out of the film for being too gruesome, like seeing a charred baby on a spit. There's probably too much rape for a modern movie in Blood Meridian, otherwise you could def film it but it would be pretty disgusting and gruesome.
>There were in the camp a number of Mexican slaves and these ran forth calling out in spanish and were brained or shot and one of the Delawares emerged from the smoke with a naked infant dangling in each hand and squatted at a ring of midden stones and swung them by the heels each in turn and bashed their heads against the stones so that the brains burst forth through the fontanel in a bloody spew and humans on fire came shrieking forth like berserkers and the riders hacked them down with their enormous knives and a young woman ran up and embraced the bloodied forefeet of Glanton's warhorse.
holy fricking shit, are burgers so fricking fat they eat the commas when they write?
(trembling with rage) ITSCH ATMOSCHPHERICAL!!!!
mccarthy HAET punctuation marks
>There were in the camp a number of Mexican slaves and these ran forth calling out in spanish and were brained or shot and one of the Delawares emerged from the smoke with a naked infant dangling in each hand and squatted at a ring of midden stones and swung them by the heels each in turn and bashed their heads against the stones so that the brains burst forth through the fontanel in a bloody spew and humans on fire came shrieking forth like berserkers and the riders hacked them down with their enormous knives and a young woman ran up and embraced the bloodied forefeet of Glanton's warhorse.
Are protagonist's gang attack a Comanche camp where they slaughter men, women, and children. There are descriptions of wounded or recently killed women being raped and babies having their heads bashed into rocks.
Meanwhile in actual reality, outside the lies of pederast writers like mccarthy, the Comanches are one of the only groups from western times that we have actual first-hand accounts of them torturing babies just for fun. (a few others like the Cheyenne killed them as well according to their own accounts but justified it as killing future warriors and they did supposedly not torture toddlers for kicks like the Comanche were known for)
McCarthy didn't paint the Comanche in a positive light. Don't forget the dead baby bush.
>this moronic chud thinks McCarthy painted the Comanches in a positive light
moronic homosexual reactionist read the book you homosexual moron
moron.
The main character rapes children, kills animals and keeps a moron as a pet. You can film it, it’s just that nobody outside of Ganker would watch it.
>wild west soulsborne
Sounds interesting. What would be the weapons?
Personally i want a modern fantasy/maybe even slightly futuristic setting. I want to 1hko cosmic horrors with a rocket propelled greatsword
A longsword, katana, great axe, MLGS
Pretty sure Bloodborne didn't had most of those
BB had guns though, i'm talking about what would be the melee
Bloodborne definitely had those.
whips, axes, machetes, large bowie knives, cavalry sabers, tomahawks, indian gunstock clubs
Yeah i can see it
>indian gunstock clubs
based and chingachasiaticpilled
Clubs, don't wanna waste ammo on native savages when you can just run them down on horseback and bash their brains in. Their scalps are still worth just as much either way.
I want a Western game where I play as an oily Mexican bandit and rapist, like El Indio in For A Few Dollars more.
What the FRICK was his problem
Unironically not enough dicky and people to kill.
existence
He was the most pure manifestation of the spirit of that era in the west, so he is monster to reflect a monstrous time
He hates the universe.
Basically (in a nutshell)
Sunscreen didn't exist yet and he spilled a tomato based Hispanic sauce on his new white suit.
It's funny how you can tell 99% of moronic that talk about this book didn't even read it, and just watched a YouTube video
There were Blood Meridian threads long before the youtube video.
The experience of reading Blood Meridian was honestly like reading a dry and unfunny version of 120 Days of Sodom
In 2020 my sister asked me what I got out of playing Animal Crossing, and I explained the museum using quotes from the judge about science lol.
So I'd say there's already a lot of BM in the design of video games.
kek, I'm just imagining a 7 foot chad collecting fish on a switch roleplaying as suzerain
I’d rather see a indian based fromsoft game where you fight hindu gods/demons.
No i’m not a poo I just like hindu mythology. It looks crazy and it is un-explored in media
ew
My favorite thing I learned from SMT is that demons in Sri Lankan Bhuddism are like dark parodies of the major Hindu gods.
Good morning sir I'm hope you make game about homeland India sir
Should I read Moby Dick or is it boring bros?
Yes and yes. It's also funny though. Just read the first bit until they meet ahab to see if you like it
It's genuinely one of the best books ever written.
If you like prose, metaphors, and layered themes then yes. If you like complex plots and character arcs, then you will probably not like it. Just read the online, annotated version.
Yes but take your time with it. Like read a chapter or two every week. It's more enjoyable like that.
I like the part where the chud gets btfo
The Judge won, thoughbeit
I think he meant glanton
Who cares what a troony thinks or says
HE
WON
I want a dark heavy metal movie version of moby dick that's inspired by blood and thunder.
RDR2 already came out though. It even has blood meridian references
What are they? I hadn't read the book when I played it so I don't remember them
The pissing scene.
nta but the only one I remember was a letter that mentions a judge holden. it wasn't like supposed to be a character like that though, it was literally just a local judge named holden.
It's a godawful politically correct and gayged up version of Blood Meridian, but I can certainly see where you're coming from with the Skinners
that's just red dead redemption 2 OP, they already made that
>is better than you're favorite book in you're path
The king of fiction, Thomas Ruggles Pynchon.
I read this whole book in highschool and I only comprehended the shit-eating scene
yeah, i'm thinking you got pynched
The judge smiled
I AM THE MASTER OF THIS EARTH AND THERE IS NOT A THING ON ITS SURFACE THAT WILL EXIST WITHOUT MY APPROVAL, AND I WILL CATALOGUE EVERYTHIJG I APPROVE OF
>wild west
it would be dead on arival, cowboys are gay
Honestly whatbis there not to like about a gisnt muscular bald albino pedophile warlord?
Oversized pale bloodsoaked fingers typed this post
What would The Judge have thought of transgender women?
i haven't read any fiction in fricking years, I should try and get back into it but I have so much trouble forcing myself to do it for some reason. the only fiction I've read since college was some Shaara books and those are historical fiction with a bigger emphasis on history than characters.
It is a tough book. Maybe try reading some easier Gankercore.
try reading some old pulp stories, robert howard of lovecraft
theyre pretty short, you can read most of them in an hour
read Infinite Jest (i mean this sincerely)
frick the jest go phins
>pooa turndaballova
I decided to get into reading via water ship down since I figured it's an easy starting point and I've already seen the movie, and I was mostly right since the rabbits are literally named after what they look like/do so it's easy to follow.
Too many names of flowers that I have absolutely no idea of what they look like though. I'm not looking up every damn plant I'm ignorant of.
I would play it. I really want a historical nautical themed Fromsoft game with naval combat. Like Sunless Sea type setting.
That would be gay as all frick.
Blood Meridian is not an action story.
It would be hard for a film or even a TV series to do it justice. And not because of the CSA shit. I'm talking about doing the Boy/Man in a way that doesn't completely ruin him. He's present for the story but McCarthy (almost) never tells you what the boy is thinking or even doing. He never tells you how much he was involved or not involved. How he felt about it.
How good or evil the boy is, is up to your own interpretation. Some readers' boy is gung ho and neck deep in the depravity, other's boy is just a bystander or a witness.
My boy is not your boy and your boy is not anyone else's boy.
McCarthy created a character that belongs to the reader and the reader alone.
And a video game adaptation would of frick it up even more than a film adaptation.
If you just want a gritty violent western, Rockstar has you covered.
Blood Meridian is more than the gore and shock value. It's art. And I know how pretentious and homosexual that sounds.but it's the truth. Very few stories accomplish what McCarthy did with Blood Meridian.
Blood Meridian is a book that will ruin all other books for you. Blood Meridian makes even the best novels look like garbage.
And this is even with McCarthy being a giant fricking moron that doesn't know how to use punctuation.
If he just used punctuation then everyone could read Blood Meridian and share in the greatness of the story. But sadly most people will get too frustrated by the lack of periods and commas. I know I gave up reading it twice before I finally just powered through and you used to it.
You have to just force it until you get used to the lack of punctuation.
I personally found it very readable
I think the detached perspective would be good for film. People already describe it as cinematic at times
wendigoon regurgitator
There is no wendigo in Blood Meridian l. What the frick are you talking about.
Re-read the story. There was definitely a wendigo in Blood Meridian.
The snakebit horse is actually representative of a demiurgic wendigo
it's easy to adapt that, just let the player choose between paragon and renegade. It's perfect.
>unique prose style is le bad even though it works perfectly well for the story
end yourself
Where did I say it was bad. I sad it's hard to read until you get used to it. And it is for a lot of people. We are raised to read and write using punctuation.
So reading without it takes some getting used to.
I have done nothing but praise Blood Meridian and McCarthy. You taking offense because I said it takes some time to get used to his writing makes you a fricking precious little snowflake that I'm shocked can even handle Blood Meridian considering how easily bothered you seem to be.
Blindness by jose saramago hardly has any punctuation but i would read it a million times before boring ass blood meridian
>western theme but for edgelords
Good way to ruin a good genre
He says he will never die
His feet are light and nimble. He never
sleeps, the judge. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite.
I'd rather a fromsoft game based off Bonanza.
Ge --- hmm
Bloodborne 2 should be set in New England and feature zombies and frankenstein's monsters instead of the beast stuff, before progressing into a repeat of the Lovecraftian shit.
Bloodborne 2 should be a prequel set in the pirate age, with fishman pirates and sawfish swords and all that cool stuff, and mid way through the game you stumble into a lost aztec kingdom in the jungle, where they do cosmic ritual sacrifices to eldrich gods.
Actually pretty likely considering Deracine had a tease about an aztec themed game and Elden Ring has a very out of place sawfish sword (sword of Milos).
that would be cool
>Judge keeps a shit eating moron as a pet
>Everyone dies

The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
>The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.
I thought this was supposed to be a western?
why is this Ganker's favourite book to have pretended to read? you guys are such pseud homosexuals
any of you pretentious fricks ever try reading a book that hasn't become a meme of what a person trying to be literary/intelligent person reads?
try some borges.
For one it's a generally popular and beloved book, literal ophrah book club tier. It's also modern and has enough violence to keep moutherbreathers entertained if they have a dictionary on hand. Pretty sure the election tourist types also enjoy the depictions of racism
I have read some Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Faulkner
>s-stop enjoying b-books
It's acceptable to make fun of Sanderson fans though, they deserve it
im reading dune right now and im enjoying it 🙂
my favorite book is The Killer Angels because I'm a dimwit when it comes to books
pure projection, I'd post a picture of my shelf but this is Ganker not Ganker and you guys are mentally ill
Ganker is mentally ill; Ganker is autistic.
more like he called you out and now you're being a defensive little b***h, nobody cares how many books you bought to try and impress women who will never hang out with you long enough to see them
Yeah, I read plenty of low brow genre fiction for children.
i wonder why a book about a muscular egg-white giant pedophile where every other word is a slur is Gankers favorite book
hmmmm
I am currently reading spooks apprentice and I like it
Why do people like Cormac McCarthy?

Why don't more authors say Black person then if it's that easy?

>bro there's no periods, commas, or quotation marks its so raw and deep bro
so dots are fine but commas and quotations are haram? what a moronic concept, no wonder americans are amazed
I kind of like it. its pretty clear to understand makes you realise quotation marks are pretty useless.
This book kept getting posted on Ganker so I bought it. Little did I know how many words nobody has said since 1802 would be in it, among other words that are just made up. Not a good book to get back in to reading with if you’re someone that likes to understand everything and not just speed read
Skill issue
Meme all you want, there is undoubtedly a word on the first page you are clueless to the definition of
Of what?
>see the child. He wears a linen shirt
Man yeah. This is way beyond. How do people read this?
imagine just straight up admitting you're too dumb to read a book lol
same as an esl this book made me google words every 5 minutes
I know man, it’s ridiculous. It’s funny seeing the other guys reply that clearly have never even cracked it open thinking it can’t possibly be that bad
were some of them really made up? I remember typing them in every few mins and finding pdfs of guides explaining like half the words in the book
What is good prose? If you write like a normal person is that bad prose? Do you need to use obscure words, reference famous literature ir do wacky stuff like use long sentences ir no punctuation to have good prose?
it's like with art. If people say something is art, it is art. If they say something is good prose, it's good prose, even though it's barely comprehensible punctuation-less rambling
It's good prose if I like it. Everything else is memes.
the more your book seems like an incomprehensible shitpost, the better
Chad Thunderwiener looked out across the movie-like desert vista which seemed like a great big tombstone laid out all flat along the desert and he felt within him a sullen morbid feeling about stuff and in the background an indian was killing something and he farted
Imagine the smell.
Prose is usually just an excuse to push bad writers when the cliques behind them have nothing else to pin their lies on.
Sometimes, very rarely, it means they have a sense of phrasing and poetry to their writing. Which can include made-up words and references but doesn't have to.
it depends on taste, some would call blood meridian purple and masturbatory. Try reading the exceprt in
aloud and enjoy the combination of words like "lending to his fraudulent sermons some faint flavor of the piety he despises"
did mccarthy write that vietnam book where a guy steps on a booby trap, gets blown up, his entrails get strewn about up in a nearby tree by the blast, and then the narrator is talking about the men in his unit making gallows humor jokes about the tree being the "[guy's name] tree because his body is growing out of the branches?
I think that's joseph conrad
that sounds like The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.
just googled it, that's it, thank you. it was the lemon tree. can't remember when I read that book but that scene always stuck out to me.
You probably read it in school like most people did
People who praise Blood Meridian should be forced to read some actual westerns.
Zane Grey, Max Brand, Owen Wister, Louis L'Amour etc.
>People who praise F1 should be forced to play with Hot Wheels
>comparing a cheap parody to the original thing
What a homosexual you are.
Early to mid 20th century Western novels are comically romanticized pulpshit, they aren't even comparable to Blood Meridian.

Considering the genre started by people dramatizing their own time in the west for amusement, no.
For real though, actually recommend some, if you can.
Down the Long Hills.
The Rider of Lost Creek.
Sackett's Land.
The Virginian.
Riders of the Purple Sage.

i actually feel bad implying that this is bad or garbage, because its supposed to be an action scene of course. so, taking it out of context removes some of the immediacy and the brutality. im just flicking back and forth through the ebook at this point though and theres some real stinkers lol. like if you presented this as a reddit 'rate my writing' post instead of Thing, Novel itd be torn apart

>a bored aristocratic is bored, gets drunk, tries to frick his sister, and kills himself
Good Lord I hate the portuguese writers and I hate brazilians writers, I hate the portuguese writing style, americans have no idea how good their literature is.
Each writing style depends on the author and the culture they originate from. Some have it ingrained within the traditional morals they've been raised, hence why some literature are more off-putting than others.
My home country literature are all essentially depressive and cautionary tales about the false glory of battle and the aftermath that it follows.
Even fictional stories where the hero has superhuman strength ends up having his family and town completely butchered because he decided to slay the dragon instead of defending his hometown There's plenty of examples but even the most bright ones have a depressing ending to them.
I was going to say "what about Borges?" until I remembered he was Argentinian, sorry anon.
>I have absolutely no idea why McCarthy didn't use punctuation
You ever read this obscure book called the Bible?
Why write like you're writing the Bible?
>a drunk cuck gets cuck and kills himself
>a drunk gets depressed and kills himself
>a bored aristocratic is bored, gets drunk, tries to frick his sister, and kills himself
This is the life story of the greatest american writers of the early 20th century though
I have absolutely no idea why McCarthy didn't use punctuation, I have to say.
Suppose it speaks to his quality as a writer, that people just flat out didn't care, and let him get away with it.
He wrote like that for ages and no one really gave a shit about his works. It was until his works were adapted to film that his books really caught mainstream attention and appeal. Right after that you got all the psueds dissecting his refusal to follow common punctuation.
read another book
For me it's
>Once there were brook trouts in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.
fish cant stand bro
what now b***h homie?
man looking at fish: "whoa, a fish"
>Blood Meridian
>Fromslop
Why? The hack even cant write a good story and you want him making a good western game. Plus, Fromdrones want another Demons Souls 10, not Sekiro 2 or AC (The last was a flop).
Why the frick are there no quotation marks? Cormac is too good for punctuation? Who does this guy think he is?
I have a question.
Is Judge a real person? Because when I read it no one knows what Judge looks like.
He was a real person, but the book also frequently refers to his appearance.
>He was a real person
shit man I had no idea that there was an actual historical account of a supposed real guy who actually matched his description and evertyhing, I always thought he was complete fiction.
He and Glanton are inspired by real individuals from history, yes, but the demonic influences are purely creative.
>The second in command, now left in charge of the camp, was a man of gigantic size who rejoiced in the name of Holden, called “Judge” Holden of Texas. Who or what he was no one knew but a cooler blooded villain never went unhung; he stood six feet six in his moccasins, had a large fleshy frame, a dull tallow colored face destitute of hair and all expression. But when a quarrel took place and blood shed, his hog-like eyes would gleam with a sullen ferocity worthy of the countenance of a fiend. His desires was blood and women, and terrible stories were circulated in camp of horrid crimes committed by him when bearing another name, in the Cherokee nation and Texas; and before we left Fronteras a little girl of ten years was found in the chapperal, foully violated and murdered. The mark of a huge hand on her little throat pointed him out as the ravisher as no other man had such a hand, but though all suspected, no one charged him with the crime.
>Holden was by far the best educated man in northern Mexico; he conversed with all in their own language, spoke in several Indian lingos, at a fandango would take the Harp or the Guitar from the hands of the musicians and charm all with his wonderful performance and out-waltz any poblana of the ball. He was “plum center” with a rifle or revolver, a daring horseman, acquainted with the nature of all the strange plants and their botanical names, great in geology and mineralogy, in short another Admirable Crichton, and with all an arrant coward.
Blood Meridian is a fictionalized account of the activities of the real life band of Indian hunters led by Joel Glanton. Prior to the war between the states, union General Chamberlain had been a member of the gang. His memoirs make up most of the historical accounts of the gang and its members, particularly concerning Judge Holden.
Don't Americans have other books to read? Why is this one the only they talk about?
Because it has GUNS and BLOOD and HOMOSEXUAL RAPE and COWBOYS dooooood
ah, blood meridian, monsieur? that novel is the sark and chaparral of literature, the filament whereon rode the remuda of highbrow, corraled out of some destitute hacienda upon the arroya, quirting and splurting with main and with pyrolatrous coagulate of lobated grandiloquence. our eyes rode over the pages, monsieur, of that slatribed azotea like argonauts of suttee, juzgados of swole, bights and systoles of walleyed and tyrolean and carbolic and tectite and scurvid and querent and creosote and scapular malpais and shellalagh. we scalped, monsieur, the gantlet of its esker and led our naked bodies into the rebozos of its mennonite and siliceous fauna, wallowing in the jasper and the carnelian like archimandrites, teamsters, combers of cassinette scoria, centroids of holothurian chancre, with pizzles of enfiladed indigo panic grass in the saltbush of our vigas, true commodores of the written page, rebuses, monsieur, we were the mygale spiders too and the devonian and debouched pulque that settled on the frizzen studebakers, listening the wolves howling in the desert while we saw the judge rise out of a thicket of corbelled arches, whinstone, cairn, cholla, lemurs, femurs, leantos, moonblanched nacre, uncottered fistulas of groaning osnaburg and kelp, isomers of fluepipe and halms awap of griddle, guisado, pelancillo.
glanton should be used as anchtype for characters in other series. I think the closest glanto we have in pokemon is like hunter j or giovanni?
Glanton couldn't exist in Pokémon. He would make for a based palworld boss, though.
who showed this book to pseuds? did pewdiepie make a video about it? god, read something else you midwits
what was the old hermit's problem Gankerros?
