Today I learned normies completely hand write books for each other. This is metal illness.

Thank you for reposting this attention whoring social media post here.

I want to fuck this guy's wife in front of him and post it on the subreddit

no you were right the first time, probably lead exposure, or aluminum her in antiperspirant

I don't know if anybody has said this before but I think Reddit is pretty lame and the people that use it suck.

Yeah…. Did you get her message?

>>24771585 (OP)
I wouldn't read NCfOM handwritten myself but it's sweet that she did that. Women do plenty of awful things but I don't have it within me to condemn this.

>>24771646
ohoot

>>24771585 (OP)
If a woman hand wrote my favorite book for me, I would have to marry her if we weren't already, and if we were already married, I'd have to impregnate her posthaste.

It's just a feeling I specifically have and haven't come across anybody else that shares the sentiment.

this is a cute souvenir. stop being jaded

>>24771887
I guess it's the thought that counts, but what if your wife's thoughts are fucking insane? Thank the lord bro wasn't into Proust. Although at least that has romantic elements. Fucking Cormac?

This made me realize I have a shitty gf. She barely gets the motivation to cook me dinner

>>24771887
It doesn't seem like a book that lens itself to being handwritten especially in feminine handwriting. I could see certain books, like We have Always Lived in the Castle, being boosted by such a format. Nothing this chud is probably reading though.
I'm also cynical and suspicious of over the top gestures like this. Whenever I've had them done "for me," they were never for me. They were always intended as demonstrations of how great they are and why I should feel lucky they're interested in me / dating me. When it came to stuff I actually needed or wanted, they were never paying attention.

>>24771585 (OP)
What the fuck is that? Why would somebody waste time to do that? Why would anybody want that as a gift? I'm fucking flabbergasted.

>>24772147
Yeah, exactly, it's literally a "look what I was willing to do for you" gift. In my experience, these people wind up being desperate, controlling, and entitled.

I don't get what's so bad about it

>>24772173
4chan niggers are allergic to sincerity, that's why

>>24772174
The problem is precisely its insincerity

>>24772175
And how exactly can you deduce that?

Talking about sincerity is inherently insincere.
Sincerely,
Anonymous

>>24771585 (OP)
Normies don't do this. Mentally ill women do this.
That being said, I record audiobooks for my gf because she doesn't read and she loves my voice.

>>24772155
It just seems bizarre to me. This isn't a "cute little souvenir"; it's something that must have taken her weeks of daily writing. It's like if my girlfriend copied out Bach's Mass in B minor by hand and gave it to me. I would think, "that's an amazing feat... but what the absolute fuck, and why?" Why not just make something simpler or buy me something I would actually use?

It would be easy for someone to turn this into, "look what I did for you, now you owe me closeness, loyalty, attention." I could never reciprocate with something so monotonous and frankly pointless. This kind of one-upping gift giving feels bizarre and insecure to me.

>>24772173
You must be dumb as a pile of fucking rocks if you don't understand how an insecure partner could use this kind of grand gesture to guilt you or keep emotional leverage.

>>24772178
When you're getting a gift for someone you should be thinking of the other person's pleasure and happiness - it should be a selfless thing. But what does this actually do for your partner? What's the utility? It's completely about showing off your devotion. And putting your beloved in the awkward position of having to read a more difficult version of a text to show they 'appreciate' what you did for them

>>24772185
These naive dudes would get manipulated in their relationships so bad, lol.

>The problem is precisely its insincerity
It's not a question of sincerity or insincerity - it's the sheer amount of time that she has devoted to this token of affection that is causing so many seething cope posts from anon.

This board prides itself on being so-called romantic, then anon see a post about a wife who has diligently transcribed by hand every single line of a novel that her husband loves as a gift to him, and these self-styled romantics - who post on a literature board - pretend like it's giving them the ick. They're imploding with envy.

There's also a fundamental aesthetic mismatch. Why do it for this book? If she had printed in GERMAN BLACKLETTER some beautiful poetry by HÖLDERLIN that would be one thing... but why a text like this? A book that wasn't even meant to be a book. A MOVIE. It's just a grotesquity. Signals MENTAL DERANGEMENT.

I checked the thread. Guy is being dismissive, but his body sounded the alarm for him.

>>24772229
>But I'm totally here for it.

>>24772229
I'm not sure if all the anons acting as if she's some psycho manipulator are right, but I feel like the guy instinctively knows that the book is basically worthless. It's a sign of devotion that he has to respect, yet he knows that he'd prefer a normal printed version.
It's just weird. I'd understand if she did it 200 years ago, when books were still very valuable, or if she did it to share some banned book, but this serves no purpose at all.

>>24772264
She's most likely harmless. Most of us learn the hard way that these types of "thoughtful" gifts actually suck. Kind of weird to learn that lesson when already in a marriage though. The post also said the first "gift" was a bag of empty pens to show how much effort she expended.

>>24771585 (OP)
Medieval monk gf. Now she just needs to make some beer

>>24772264
This is more of a bizarre display of affection than a gift. A gift has to be useful or enjoyable to the receiver. You could say the thought counts but what was the thought behind this? I'd be questioning her intelligence based on the amount of time she spent on something pointless. If your partner starts doing weird shit and you turn your brain off to stop analysing it you're in for some problems down the line

>>24772281
This man gets it. She'll be extremely helpful when society collapses and good books will be hard to come by.

>>24772288
Yeah but women are sensitive to such things. Most men understand to just let women get on with their weird little hobbies. So long as they don't undermine your authority, it is ultimately harmless and at times endearing.

>>24771620
Source?

Anons, no matter the practical or monetary value, it is a token of effort and respect from a loved one. That's why OOP appreciates it this much.

>All these posts
Holy autism Batman

>>24771887
It is cute, but it's also an insane amount of time and effort devoted to something that accomplishes nothing, assuming they already had a copy of NCfOM lying around the house for her to use in the first place. I can't chastise a woman for putting in effort since that's a rarity these days, but it's a real white elephant of a gift

>>24771585 (OP)
I've heard people doing it as a writing excercise. "Copywork" it's called, and it's supposed to improve your writing style.

>>24772353
I've heard of this too. Copying an entire book sounds like a waste of time. Well written passages, sure.

having a scribe as a wife is based tho

>>24771845
upvoted

>>24772353
Copywork is supposed to be for typing specific passages, not handwriting an entire fucking book

>>24772185
>you must purchase a commodity, handmade items do not count as gifts
Bugmode mentality. It's a very sweet gift.

>>24772634
he's right though. this is at best useless and at worst creepy and manipulative. i could fill a notebook with "i love you so much" for my gf, but why would i do that? it's effort expended, but why would she need or want it? it would just be weird.
a better gift: get your partner one of their favorite books, read it and write notes, thoughts, anecdotes, memories, trivia in the margins. it would actually be fun to read a book like that with an so. whatever this is won't be fun to read.

Just woke up and im still mad at this shit. I fucking hate redditors with every ounce of my being. I fantasize about someone scooping their eyes out when they are sleeping and waking up panicking

>>24772183

ITT: Incels are jealous that they don't have a gf and if they ever do, it will be a former slut who decided to settle down and won't care about them as much as that redditor's wife

>>24771585 (OP)
Why that book? Is it his favorite? If yes, he probably already read it and it's a useless gift.
Is it the book he always wanted to read, maybe because he's a fan of the film? Then why not buy it for him instead of wasting time and ink on writing it by hand?
Shit, at least it's not Child of God or Blood Meridian, but it's still a completely inane gift and some of the anons ITT rightfully call it out as crazy.

that's nothing. my stepdaughter handwrote all of lolita for me

Also why for such a poppy book?

>>24772121
At least you have a gf. I haven't had one in ten years.

>>24772121
what have (you) done for her exactly?

this could be sued as a violation of copyright

>>24771594
this is such a keyed post...

>>24773221
4chan hasn't done anything based in years, I wonder if we could get this bitch sued or arrested.

I think this gift is the litmus test of seeing if people have dated or not.
The most hardcore cave dwellers literally can't understand it.

>>24772121
dump her
she's useless

>>24773246
My exwife got me a perfect version of this. She bought a nice little Field Day-esque notebook and filled each page with the name of a local restaurant and a space for us to write our thoughts on it, so it was motivation for us to go out and do things together and then create a memorable piece of writing to look back through and remember all those memories. OP on the other hand is psychotic.

this sucks. it's useless. if she knitted something that'd be infinitely better.

Why are yanks so anti social?

>>24773302
Probably because being social 90% of the time just means doing stupid shit with dumb women

>>24773246
Weird, I think it's a litmus test but in the opposite direction. If you think stuff like this is cute, I question whether you've ever had a relationship.

>>24773261
That's a great idea. Why is she your ex?

>>24771585 (OP)
I wish I had a gf to share genuine moment of love with.

>>24772215
Not an argument. See >>24772192

>>24773328
It's this, yes.

>>24773328
It's somewhere in between. The OP girl seems a little obsessive in an unhealthy way, but if your girl never made some kind of art or special thing for your birthday, you never really had a girl who was in love with you. You had a pet or a personal escort at best.

>>24773431
I haven't had a girlfriend in a decade but every girl I've been with has done something like that for me. Unfortunately they were also gullible and got influenced by their friends to have affairs on me, too. Which led to me breaking it off with them.

>>24773335
We couldn’t communicate through our problems (most of that was from my end, I suck)

>>24771585 (OP)
i try my hardest to hate foids but this is kind of cute and endearing ngl

>>24773431
yeah, like knitting scarves and making little restaurant passport books is normal, cute, and fun. handwriting out an entire mccarthy book in girly cursive is not. shows lack of judgment.

Maybe she just got carried away? I've done that with gifts. I start with something, put a lot of time into it, and then it becomes a question of whether I'm stubborn enough to see it through or not.

This anon is actually losing his mind that he'll never have a woman this devoted to him. He's so jealous about it that he woke up angry again.

>>24774025
If you don’t wake up angry at redditers you’re probably a redditer

>>24774025
nta but this feels like some fake shit made up for updoot
who has time to sit down and write an entire book by hand?
the fact that it's likely not fake is somehow worse

All this is true, but that's not what anon are really hung up on. Anon is really seething about that level of devotion, and how they haven't experienced it. If anon is waking up angry about this, then the reason is way more personal than muh pledditors.

/lit/ is bitter, jobless and obsessed.

>practicing calligraphy anyway ....

You don't understand. This is an opportunity for comedy: request she do Madame Bovary for Christmas, Schopenhauer's essays for Valentine's Day, 120 Days of Sodom for their anniversary.

In all seriousness— Dad's favorite story in Mom's penmanship will probably mean the most to their children.

>>24771585 (OP)
Shit like this is why I don't leave the house. God forbid somebody did something like this for me. Absolutely insane

Jokes aside I did have an artist gf back in the day and some of you are very correct about the loaded gift phenomenon. She just liked painting shit. Painted hats. Painted portraits. Some of them were dope. But she was really doing it to be praised for doing it, not to make me happy. Like you really think I'm gonna wear a hat with bright faggy colors all over it to work? A faggy colorful hat with my name in huge lettering on it? She didn't give me that gift for me to enjoy and use, she was just hoping it would end up on display somewhere in the house. A conversation starter. A reason to talk about herself. A reason to praise her talents.

>>24771585 (OP)

These are not the words of a male who has ever been in a relationship, nor had sex. This is a social retard.

>>24774560
I'm not the anon you originally replied to.

>>24774052
I had a bit of a skitzo friend that was always falling for cults. He was part of some Turkish religion where you have to rewrite their entire bible by hand. They also had a religious ritual where you involving phone calls to the religious leader and it needs someone from outside the religion to make the call, it was very weird. He was carefully respectfully trying to get me to help them with their ritual.

Later he also was getting close to becoming a tranny and everyone was cheering him on. I told him people are excited now, but it will become normal and boring and also that a large number of medical transitioned tranny's kill themselves. He got really angry with me and said he thought we were friends. I told him we are friends and why do you think I'm telling you this?

He ended up not transitioning.

>>24774573
..? But my comment on that post was the one you were responding to. How am I even meant to respond to this. You've just nonsensically interjected then.

>>24774590

>How am I even meant to respond to this
Don't care.

>>24774671
That post was a direct comment on the notion of anon being so angry about this that he literally woke up still angry about it. That was the whole context behind that post you replied to.

Just go back to lurking, idiot.

>>24774704

No, it wasn't. Then explain what "he'll never have a woman this devoted to him. He's so jealous" was all about, you retarded fuck.

Keep me posted

>>24774719
Listen, I'll make it really simple, because you're clearly a simpleton:

Have you ever woken up and still been mad at some chan thread you read before sleeping? - No? Me neither. This is a unique form of spergery, which is what I was commenting on specifically. It points to anon being mad about something other than that which he claimed, something more persona, and I contended this was related to some form of jealously (likely in want to experience some inordinate degree of devotion).

It's not difficult to understand this. There are probably Somalians smarter than you.

My wife cross stitches bookmarks for me with swastika patterns woven into it. It’s her own hobby but through it she shows little acts of affection to me. It’s nice.
She also has a fat, hairy pussy I wish I were eating instead of posting on /lit/.

>>24774774
This isn't about useful gifts you actually like and use, anon. This is about performative gifts that require all of the effort but none of the thought or practicality.

Handwriting is actually a great way to learn certain works. I've handwritten, added scholia, and done my own translations of parts of Dante, the Dao, and the upper chapters of the Analects. It is insane to handwrite McCormac novels, thoughbeit.

>>24774728
I understood everything the first time, you absolute fool. I don't give a shit about what that anon said. Literally the only word I'm disputing in YOUR post is "devotion". What the woman in OP's pic is showing isn't a form of devotion, it's manipulation and it's plain to see for everyone who isn't a complete and utter buffoon. That anon cannot be jealous that way because it isn't devotion. Your use of language was very loose and naive. I hope you understand now, you fucking despicable cretin.

>>24771620
Honestly, I never thought of it that way

If this is the make ragebait for incels thread, my girlfriend and I gift each other books with codes in them. It started simple with words underlined in pencil throughout the book. Last time she figured out that the numbers that showed up in the url of her browser homepage reffered to page numbers where the first word of those pages spelled out a message.
I received atomised from her but can't figure out what she's done yet. Maybe something with invisible ink.

He was a generous retard. Helped me get one of my best jobs by recommending me.

When I asked why he had considered becomeing transgender before he said he saw the caitlyn jenner reveal and thought he could pave the way for other transgenders to be more accepted. Which was dumb, because he was typically regarded as a clown by other people. Likeable but not charismatic.

Accept the truth. These type of truths can be changed, a lot of the time. But why deny them or feel bad about them while they are true?

A lot of the time the bullied is complicit by letting it happen. Don't whine. Ignore for what doesn't matter and fight back when it does.

Now that I think about it, my first girlfriend printed out all sonnets of shakespeare, burned the corners of the papers and bound them into a little booklet.

People in this thread say they find writing out the full thing performative or attentiongrabbing, but I think it's really sweet. The gift is what an effort it cost. Every single word you read will be penned by her hand. Every second she worked on it she thought about you. I never received anything taking that level of effort but I know I would deeply appreciate it as long as it's at least tangentially related to something I like.

Imagine being a perma-virgin Romecuck in his 50s realizing his was going to be out of work when Chad Henry VIII dissolved your cuckshed monastery.

Whether you can read it well or not is irrelevant. It's not for reading.
The act of writing the words and giving them to him was the gift rather than reading them. The wife is showing her dedication to her husband. She's making a sacrifice of time and effort to him.
The fact it's Cormac rather than some other author that is more romantic is because the choice of book is about building up the husband and the literature he likes, and showing that the wife understands that. It's also possibly a social gift in that he can present it to other people who will think it is cool, and demonstrate to them that he has a wife who is both dedicated and herself cool and into the books he thinks are cool. People like people who are already liked by others, because it lets them skip the work of figuring out whether they're good or not.

>You must be dumb as a pile of fucking rocks if you don't understand how an insecure partner could use this kind of grand gesture to guilt you or keep emotional leverage.
It goes like this:
>THEM: I wrote you that book so you owe me
>YOU: no
You're going to feel guilty about it when you know what's going on and you know guilt is not a valid response? What are you, retarded?

Don't get me wrong, I'd act like I appreciate the gift, but what a stupid fucking thing to do. Why would you write it for me when I already own it?

>>24772271
a bag? This would take 3 or 4 pens at most, maybe just 2

>a strictly worse version of the original that will be harder to read because of the handwriting and awkward to hold that you are obligated to read or your wife will get upset
T-thanks honey I love it

Funnily enough, I considered doing this for my girlfriend, but record me reading a book.

I actually think that would be a better gift because it's at least a transformative work, and not something that's directly inferior to any copy of the book you could buy publicly

Would'nt the weeks she spent doing this have been better spent looking after her children?

I don't believe this happened, it's a larp. There's no way a woman would do that.

It's a little bit strange but you'll have a much more joyful and meaningful life if you allow yourself some sentimentality. Cynicism drowns the poetic instinct.

It's a waste of time. It would've been more meaningful if she had written him a short poem instead of being a human photocopier.

>>24789167
you're absolutely right, but I doubt your message would reach anyone that could benefit from applying it

I started copying out the Enchiridion of Epictetus for my dad but stopped because my hand was hurting too much. So I sorta almost did this.
