Not a stormfag, but 'le edgy ugly Jesus xD' art is not striking, not shocking, and not certainly not controversial anymore. It's nonsense. Not pleasing to the eye at all.

Either this or Edwin Lanseer's Scene from Midsummer Night's Dream
This seems like the appropriate place to post this. I am indeed looking for a book.
It's... quite a weird one. It's one I read probably too young to understand it. I don't know the name, author or even general plot (as I couldn't really follow it all the way).
But I do remember some parts of it and was hoping maybe someone could help me find it. I've been dying to read it and see if I can understand it now (I'm about ten years older).
So from what I remember, it was fictional story. There was narration that made me feel like one person was describing what it was like to have multiple personalities. First it was from the point to view of a man then it was from the point of view of a woman who was clearly schizophrenic. It was almost as if the story was being told like a dream.
This is the weirdest part. I very distinctly remember a part where another person (he became the focus of the story, not like third person and separate from the schizophrenic person) was in a tub or something and making himself ejeculate with out hands or other stimulation. Just on the spot.
I also remember a different person watching a group of kids or something.
It was a really weird book, I was hoping to find it again. The book could have been yellow or orange and hard some weird art (maybe) on the front. I'm not sure anymore. And I don't know where to start.
I was hoping someone could give me some peace haha its been over 10 years since I've been looking. Any thoughts /lit/?

Your pseudo-rebelliousness is pathetic and, coupled with your enjoyment of facile nip '''''art''''', only leads me to conclude that you will never develop beyond the mindset of a frustrated adolescent. You should feel ashamed, you won't of course. You will claim I am butthurt and then continue to enjoy things which you shouldn't. I loathe you immensely.

actually you know what? fuck you. seriously. you think the authors you jerk off to an a daily basis weren't into some weird shit? why don't you whizz on over to a little site called "google.com" and search up james joyce, yes, JAMES JOYCE, and his letters he wrote to his wife nora and then come back to me and tell me that because im into some stuff you consider "weird" or "uncouth" that im not allowed to read literature. i have a BA and am working on my masters lmfao. what the fuck are you doing? you probably work at chick fil a and read infinite jest over and over on your break thinking, "wow im such an intellectual, im so enlightened." literature is about expanding your horizons, it's about expressing your self and gaining knowledge. vore and its subkinks have a lot of SYMBOLIC WORTH and if written well can be an insightful journey into the human psyche. why dont you come at me with a real, well written argument about why i "dont deserve" to read literature? youre a fucking mouse, youre a rat in my world. im asking you right here and right now to be a man and construct a detailed and well worded response. are you up to the challenge?

name one thing you've accomplished. show me one thing you have done that is of any real worth at all. seriously. are you a writer? what do you know about literature? you think that because i like something that YOU DONT i should be shunned from society? you can seriously go fuck yourself right now. go to your little job at mcdonalds and then come home to your empty life with your mom and then jerk off your tiny cock while you insult people online for simply liking things you dont. you probably think im being really thin-skinned right now, but im not insulted, im just angry at your pathetic self righteous existence. still waiting on that well-written, well reasoned argument you have yet to pose to me. why should i be banned from reading literature because of my preferences? hurry up.

oh haha "autism, autism" what an exceptional argument and insult from 2012. really, im sobbing with shame and self-hate from this epic burn. do you even know what autism is? you fucking clowns, parroting memes over and over, patting each other on the back for your epic fucking wit. even if i did have autism, it's hardly an insult, since AGAIN; many authors YOU probably GET OFF to weren't neurotypical by any means and a handful of them were undoubtedly on the spectrum.

not a single one of you can refute me with a clever and well written response. it's all meme reaction image garbage that a fucking 12 year old could do. no, scratch that, a 12 year old could probably do a hell of a lot better than you morons - thinking back to when i was 12, i'd be fucking embarrassed for you and how retarded you all are. let me fucking break it down for you so you can all process it:
>i post an image i like, aware that it could be perceived as a little controversial, a little strange
>some fucking idiot faggot responds telling me that i DONT DESERVE to read books. do you know how fucking close minded and idiotic that is?? imagine sharing a part of you that you KNOW isn't exactly socially accepted on a website you thought was a safe space for you, due to its subversive nature, and having someone respond and tell you that you DONT FUCKING DESERVE to do one of the only things that keeps you sane, one of the only things you get genuine enjoy out of - the thing your building your entire livelihood and legacy from.
>respond telling him hes a fucking idiot
>people shitpost pathetic garbage calling you "autistic" - basically a buzzword that has lost ALL MEANING in this context over years of abuse.
fucking lol. you people genuinely think you're right and im wrong, that's what really cracks me up. keep being fucking delusional, living your pathetic, square, close minded existence. i'll keep looking at my "fucked up" vore and continue to make a living out of something you morons merely DREAM of.
