@peetapane @_edenfalls @BarryPierce i think most authors use words to draw if by that you mean imagery? by pointless i was referring to the comment i replied to initially, and someone else compared this book to wattpad in the comments. i've read normal people and conversations with friends.

@prunedpickles @_edenfalls @BarryPierce "Wattpad"? What are you talking about? The one who uses the words to draw were mostly from the futuristic current and if you mean sally rooney maybe you should pick up one of her books and talk again. But maybe you can't read I never said it's pointless or bad quality writing1-

@TVJCCLeader @_edenfalls @BarryPierce btw i wrote a lot of it in absolutes to get around the character limit lol. this is very open to interpretation and someone more well-read than i am would have a far better analysis of his character.

@TVJCCLeader @_edenfalls @BarryPierce that's a simplistic interpretation on his character; many readers might not share it. the judge represents the idea that a person's judgement of the world destroys the reality of it. this is how the judge, and more broadly humanity, rationalises most violence and war. (3/3)

@TVJCCLeader @_edenfalls @BarryPierce the 'he says he will never die' refrain at the end alludes to that pretty clearly. there's his self-mythologising name. he is a false god. he is a judge of the fate of everything he encounters. 'whatever exists in creation exists without my consent,' he says. (2/3)

@TVJCCLeader @_edenfalls @BarryPierce no, not always. judge holden is an almost biblical entity. he isn't truly human; some people say he's evil incarnate. his character is a reflection of how horrific and evil the violence perpetrated by the glanton gang is. that is simply how 'more' their brutality was. (1/3)

@TVJCCLeader @_edenfalls @BarryPierce for no reason? i don't think any of the violence in blood meridian is gratuitous; it is based on historic events and accounts. it is quite realistic and very heavily researched.

@prunedpickles @_edenfalls @BarryPierce Narrative was just a slog to get through. It feels like it was written by an edgy teen who just makes things violent and evil for no good reason. I understand the themes of the endless cycles of violence, but beating me over the head with it is just cringe.

@3verythingisyou @_edenfalls @BarryPierce there's no 'proper' punctuation if you're a good writer; you can use language however you want to. stream-of-consciousness writing for instance doesn't use conventional punctuation because it mimics erratic thoughts and raw internal monologues.

@peetapane @_edenfalls @BarryPierce i'm sorry but comparing ulysses to wattpad is indeed ignorant; i understand if people don't like the style but you can't dismiss it as pointless or bad quality writing unless you've actually studied literature or are a critic.

@prunedpickles @_edenfalls @BarryPierce There are also writers who draw images with words but it's not common and definitely not the standard in literature so for readers it's harder and it's legitimate for people disliking that without having someone in their ear calling them ignorant

@TVJCCLeader @_edenfalls @BarryPierce oh blood meridian was a good book long before social media called it a good book. out of curiosity, what did you dislike about it?

@peetapane @_edenfalls @BarryPierce so maybe they’re not pointless and pretentious and are a valid stylistic choice? you can’t hyper read those books anyway, so how do speech marks actually help?

@_edenfalls @BarryPierce have you ever read a book without one? lots of great books don’t use them, like ulysses, blood meridian, and no country for old men

@BarryPierce speech marks actually exist for a reason and not having them is just kind of pointless and pretentious

@BarryPierce Take y'all asses right back to Wattpad with your lawless garbage. Whatever awesomeness you're trying to evoke with 'stylistic syntax' should just be done through the story. We need to ban self-publishing until we figure out what's going on. Write correctly or don't publish.

@glockinmyrock @BarryPierce it really isn’t. some of the greatest authors use it, including james joyce and cormac mccarthy

@gay00006 @streasq @alaskastardust @starbennettt why are you turning this on me lmao. i'm just saying if i believed in something as passionately as you did i'd do some basic research before vehemently expressing my opinions on the internet. then you wouldn't have to change your mind as quick or as often👍

@gay00006 @streasq @alaskastardust @starbennettt also i'm sorry, but if a random person calls me ugly i'm not thinking 'oh no, they think i'm ugly inside'. ugly in that context is almost always defined by conventional standards for beauty, which people you wouldn't consider 'good' are as likely to measure up to as anyone else
