Mercury was badass. The slow, seeping madness taking hold of you like a gentle breeze grabbing the breadth of a kite. Invisibly, rapidly hoisting you higher until it suddenly, sinisterly relinquishes its grip. The drop leaves you tattered and indignant, but seemingly mendable.
And so it tenderly brushes the dust off to repeat the process until you’re nothing but caterwauling splinters cast across the ground.
Is this from something or do you just wander through life dropping awesome prose like this?
I like writing short stories for fun, and sometimes I write what comes to me on Lemmy. Though lemmy rarely cares for it, outside of !greentext@sh.itjust.works. Thank you for the kind praise!
Man, that’s poetry right there
This is splendid. Your words match the quality of dialogues from Disco Elysium. It must've feel like a true talent being able to conjure sentences with such vividness for any topic you encounter.
I feel like I could read shitposts like this for hours.

Here are two that I enjoyed writing. Though they’re a bit more grim and severely benefit from reading the original post as well. I just wish I could link without it going to my instance. Bleh
Your works are nothing short of wonder. I would describe this not as another genre of memes, but a whole another dimension of shitposting only a few are able to observe and appreciate. You wield opportunities as countless as memes themselves and possess a remarkable sense of humour and talent to compose prose that introduce a entirely new perspective for the viewers. You are a living rendition of what a 19th century novelist would be were they given access to the modern day internet.
To have a priceless person as you on the fediverse is a blessing. For me to have witnessed your art is even more so.
That’s very sweet. And probably a little too generous. Thank you!
I want to make a joke about your username as it would fit the second statement you made, but I lack your creativity and also don't want to diminish legitimate praise.
That’s also sweet. I know I’d have had a difficult time controlling myself at different points. Thank you for maintaining the positivity
Of course. The only time I intentionally / knowingly say something to hurt people is when I'm very certain they will benefit from hearing it ("you have this flaw and it's hurting you, so hearing this input hopefully helps you improve your lot").
I don't do that often at all because I'm bad at a lot of things, including some at which I'm good, so I'm rarely confident enough about stuff to criticize someone else.
I suppose technically I also might offer hurtful feedback if my honest opinion were to be solicited about something bad.
Your prose was good - I even made a user note about you to remind me next time we interact - but even if it were awful I can't see how me being a dick about it would help you. I do like your username, though.
Sorry for the narcissistic WOT. I hope you have a great day!
I do the same thing. Enduring and expanding upon the intrusions until you can line the frame with flesh was the way I finally managed to make use of my personal oddities. Don’t fear articulating and affirming for your own benefit!
Although it took years of active observation and desire and effort to finally wind my way to the low plateau I’ve found
Wowweee
