This is a Serenity.Anyone else excited for the Christmas storytime?
Hell yes. It's my favorite part of Christmas these days.
>>77902693
I strongly dislike(hate)Christmas, but I looooove reading Serenity then and on Easter. One of my favorite /co/ traditions.
It's the greatest /co/ tradition next to Night of the Were-Ed
>>77902795
>that pic
sides have left Earth's atmosphere.
>>77902626
>actually read Were-Ed this year
>all that everything
I-I'm gonna do it, /co/. After all these years I swear I'm going to read Serenity with you.
>>77902626
>>77902626
Yes
I love the yearly tradition
>>77903118
So.. Festivus storytime?
>>77902626
I've been doing it for the past like 4 years and I still look forward to posting it
I'm gonna have to get another 4chan pass after last year's retarded captcha shit unless someone else decides they want to storytime it first
>>77902782
happy winter solstice then
its what most people celebrate they just call it christmas
The fuck is this? Why am I turned on by it?
>>77903926
its the kinda badly drawn story of a girl who gets shit on by Christians because she is the "bad girl"
it seems like a bad read but people get hooked on it easy
>>77903967
And the creator is a total bro.
>>77904019
yeah he explained the story after like a decade of it being out
also wasnt he working on all girls lord of the flies or was that someone else
>>77903926
It's a quite clever and mentally challenging deconstruction of the Christian Young Adult Educational Comic genre that delves deep into the psyche's of the main cast in a very unique way, not only creating a believable cast of flawed yet relatable characters, but also created a fictional world that managed to mirror our own in a way that felt so real you could reach out and touch it.
Simply put, it's a masterpiece.
>>77904103
It's not that deep its just more unclear
the first time around people will just be angry with confusionand a few other emotions
EDDIEBOWL
Pure girls are best girls.
>>77904384
Girls can never be pure, they're women.
>>77904384
serenity isnt pure though
>>77904384
>being christian
>believing women are pure
Do you even read the series? Eve fucks up in the very first book.
>It's December now
>Christmas is a mere couple of weeks away
Where did the time go
>>77902626
Lori will never be happy
>>77907103
This year has flown by so fast.
I'm happy about it. I spent this year whining like a bitch, hating my life, hating myself, and not doing shit about it. I mean, I'm still gonna hate myself next year, but at least it'll be a little less.
>>77908641
Why you gotta hurt me?
Oh shit I had no idea someone storytimed this as a regular holiday thing
When does it happen, on Christmas exactly?
>>77902626
OH MY GOD IT'S BEEN A YEAR
fuck
How are you doing on your purity tests, /co/? I still haven't had sex in a tank, so not so well
>>77908641
>>77904384
>whore goes to a debauch party and lets her craven acts be filmed and displayed for all to see
>then tries to escape her rightful shame with sinful suicide
>pure
>>77904134
Arousal isn't an emotion, anon.
>>77909905
Lust, then.
>>77908908
Christmas Eve or Day, it's happened on either one of those before.
I need to really work to keep myself under control this Christmas. I drank myself into a blackout before it was halfway done last year.
>>77902626
I'm ready.
Something I've always wondered - how does this work? Is the storytime just done by the first Anon to start posting on Christmas? Is it planned? It's such a tradition that it feels like it shouldn't be random.
>>77917086
tradition is tradition.
If no one is doing it someone will step up to the challenge, it's the spirit of the season.
>>77907103
>another year passes by
>still waiting for a life-saving organ transplant
Well, hope it's soon, but I've been saying that for quite a while now. I'm guessing it'll only happen at a time when I'm completely unprepared. I mean, I can still keep living, but I'm on borrowed time here. Something's gotta give. Either let me live and try to repair my life and get things in order before I die or just end it now, fuck.
>>77917265
Makes sense.
>>77917172
Her love was too pure.
>>77917280
Shit dude. I can't even imagine that. Wish you luck and good cheer.
>>77917280
This probably isn't the kind of reassurance you wanted, but lord fucking knows there's tons of dipshits out there riding motorcycles with light gear or no helmets. And as we approach Christmas, the roads are going to have more black ice on supposedly "warm" days than ever before. Some jackass is going to hurdle his handlebars, crack his skull into paste, and leave you with a functioning and unharmed organ ready for the harvesting. Just have faith and trust in drunken stupidity, Anon.
>>77917280
I'm sorry anon.
>>77917172
There was some super cute little fic someone whipped up in one of the older Serenity threads about Lori confessing her homolust to Serenity, who totally took it in stride and helped her come to terms with it. Ended with some smooching and groping if I remember right, but still really cute.
I wish I'd saved it.
>>77917408
I'd kill to see it now.
>>77917172
>>77917318
>Eventually she will get married to some guy and realize to late that she has no feelings for him
>She will be trapped in the marriage because divorce is a sin
>Starts drinking heavily to numb her pain
>Her daughter eventually comes out and she is disowned because a sin
>In reality she is jealous of her daughter and hates her because she had the strength to do what Lori couldn't
>Never speaks to her again
>>77917423
It's not Christmas yet! Stop depressing me!
>>77917367
It's something I can easily accept. My mom has a harder time living up to something like secretly wishing for death so I can continue to live.
You just get kinda impatient after nearly a year of waiting. All this time being too weak and sick to do things for myself and having to rely on my parents when I'm nearly 30 wreaks havoc on your nerves and psyche. I have no friends and the only person I consider a friend is my brother who lives far away in another city. I only get to see him about twice a year. At least he'll be visiting for Christmas, so I have that to look forward to. I just want this transplant so I can move out on my own and live my own life -- make some friends, get married, just spend the years I'm afforded post-transplant content and accomplished. The waiting is excruciating and the longer it takes, the more your confidence and hope fades.
>>77917408
This it?

Anyone else think Lori was a poorly written character? I mean, Lori's flaw is that she has same sex attractions, but unlike the other characters it never deals with them. and the problem with that is that that's kinda the message of the comic, that Jesus loves us in our brokenness and heals us, that's Serenity's entire arch of going from a deranged delinquent with prettym much everythign going wrong in her life, to a Christian who pulled her life together. I think it would have been more satisfying if Lori got more attention or if the creator couldn't deal with that issue, just give her a different flaw.
>>77917453
Fuck Anon. What do you need? Not a kidney I assume? Bad heart?
>>77917498
A pair of fresh lungs.
>>77917423
>>77917408
I think you missed the point of the comic. The guy addicted to porn gets rightly reprimanded in a sense because its wrong. its a temptation he has to fight it. Lori's think is no different.
>>77917520
O-oh.
>>77917521
You can't just switch off the gay, my man.
>>77917461
Uh... I think so. Of course, I've also probably mixed the actual story with my own fantasies and interpretations of the characters, so hell if I really know.
Still, good find.
>>77917466
If I remember correctly, that was the author's problem with the series in general. He set things up like that to expand on them, but didn't have time to finish them.
Shit, I think I shouldn't be saying anything, lest I take away from the storytime.
>>77917521You're right.
>>77917570
Of course you can, You can choose not to sleep with someone, that is a choice you make. People are not born gay, or straight, they have attraction when they hit puberty, and its their choice to act on them or not. Its the same with waiting for marriage.
Does anyone have the emails from anon to the author?
>>77917609
Hayao speaks the truth.
Have a funny picture
>>77917590
Scroll up that thread some then.
There's a couple other fics about Lori in it after the lantern fic.
>>77917615
So, I like pussy, but I can choose to fuck male assholes because I don't want kids?
Okay. Great!
>>77917648
Of course you can, It doesn't make it right. Frankly Christians who think homosexuality is not a sin are only fooling themselves. interesting coincidence you came to this enlightening conclusion about sexual morality the same time it got popular acceptance.
>>77909137
My favorite scene in all of cinema.
>>77917719
I'm confused.
>>77917636
Ah. It was the Confessions one. Seriously, thank you. Love that shit.
>>77917774
let me clarify, having same sex attractions isn't sinful, acting on them is. Having opposite sex attractions isn't sinful, but acting on them outside of marriage is.
>>77917795
Alright then.
I'm kind of sad the Serenity fanworks thread was never recreated on plus4chan's new boards that replaced the old boards.
Though I'm not sure how much of a purpose it would serve since new pics, fics, and edits don't happen that much anymore.
>>77917844
>>77917864
We have /trash/ now. Anything can go there. Let's face it, /trash/ is so far exactly what /aco/ should have been.
>>77917895
What does that have to do with what I posted?
plus4chan has always been more long term storage than the short little blips of time threads last on 4chan proper.
>>77917521
Except, no he didn't he got told off because he was about to to take sexual advantage of an emotionally distressed girl.
>>77917598
What is Buzz working on that he could not just continue? I mean he knows that there is a bi yearly storytime of his work. Part of me wishes he would self publish more content :/
>>77917866
He's not wrong, it's not a sin to be tempted, it's a sin to dwell on it and act on it.
>>77911640
Enjoy the Second Circle.
>>77918093
Better than the Fourth. Or First. Second is fantastic, all things considered.
>>77917408
>>77917461
>tfw when someone remembers some thing I wrote on a Bhutanian stone sculpting forum
It's kind of embarassing actually.
>>77918157
I only ever added fics and pics to that thread that I saw posted during the Serenity threads on /co/.
Your fic must've gotten around back then.
>>77918157
I've had people make screencaps of shit I barely even remember typing. The Internet never fucking forgets. There's always some idiot out there who saved what you did.
And this idiot likes what you did very much.
>>77909549
>Confirmed for not playing thorugh the whole game
>>77908908
>>77912229
Also on Easter, right?
I always miss that one since I never know when Easter is.
>>77917844
Which sounds mighty unfair on those born with exclusive same sex attraction.
Why should they be shackled to lifelong celibacy? Why should they be judged for wanting to consummate feelings of love towards a consensual, mutually caring partner? Love never fails, after all.
>>77918965
>still believing anyone can be exclusively attracted to one sex
>>77920767
That's all you have then?
Denial?
Good to know. At least you're aware it's a fucked situation if you feel this is your only option.
>>77917520
>a pair of fresh lungs
>pair
Shit, nigga. This is why euthanasia needs to be legal. If the quality of your life is so shitty (and getting shittier) and there's little to no hope of getting a transplant, the more humane thing to do would take you out back and shoot you than letting you rot aware and in pain while you cling to what little life your body can give you.
I'm sorry, anon.
>>77918965
>Old Testament
>Still referring to the Korran of Christianity
>>77917844
Additionally, men should wear their hair short. Women should wear theirs long. Disobedient children will be stoned to death. No shellfish, bacon. Respect the Sabbath or be stoned to death.
Y'know, follow all the rules.
>>77923635
Also, burn all of your clothes, because they are all of mixed fiber and that's not allowed. Figure out where you can buy some pure, 100% cotton or wool clothing.
>>77923607
Tell that to the other guy.
>>77902626
Serenity is my third-favorite comic of all time. Of course I'm looking forward to it.
>>77924764
I thought it was supposed to be a storytime of pain?
Or at least something everyone enjoys ironically.
>>77924841
I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly enjoy it completely at face value.
>>77924841
I enjoy it completely and genuinely.When you read the emails, you see just how brilliant it really is.
There is a disappointing lack of Serenity in this alleged Serenity thread. Do I have to post it myself to get my blue-haired christian girl fix?
>>77925119
yes you do
>>77925119
Save it for the storytime later this month. Post just enough to get new people interested, then hold back.
>>77925119
Crops or fanart, yes. Don't post the comic, that would be a dick move.
