#B. R. Myers

[grandhotelabyss]

What (if anything) do you think of Ben Myers's "A Reader's Manifesto"? I have to assume you disagree with it, given your love of DeLillo and (to a lesser extent) McCarthy--two of his biggest targets, alongside Annie Proulx. (E.g., what do you make of Myers's claim that DeLillo merely reiterates the same tired, ubiquitous pieties about the vulgarity of suburban bourgeois existence?)

I'm more sympathetic to Myers's argument than you might imagine. First, it's a very entertaining and amusing piece of writing in itself. Second, the argument is correct in general: literary fiction as a (sociological) category encourages writers toward a mannered and artificial style signifying "literariness." Unskilled writers who adopt this style tend toward gaseous imprecision and somnolent over-writing. I can understand Myers's nostalgia for the unfussy midcentury clarity of a Maugham or an Isherwood in the face of someone like the already forgotten David Guterson.

Furthermore, in his book-length expansion of the article, Myers persuasively responded to critics who accused him of disliking any stylized or elevated prose. There he examined passages from Conrad and Joyce and showed that their complexity represents a hyper-precise and thoughtful use of language rather than the contemporary literary novelist's portentous use of vague or mixed metaphors straining after an absent significance.

You're right that he goes after writers I admire: DeLillo and McCarthy in the article and Morrison in the book. I think he totally misinterprets DeLillo. He doesn't get DeLillo's humor at all, and he misses the romanticism and mysticism in White Noise and Underworld, the transcendence DeLillo finds in the consumer culture alongside its tawdriness and shallowness. As for McCarthy and Morrison, their styles do make them vulnerable to writing "purple," and Myers expertly identified the resulting purple patches for criticism ("a gorgon in an autumn pool"). But I believe the totality of their vision subsumes any sentence-level flaws. Nitpicking can be its own lapse in taste, even when there are nits to pick.

In sum, I disagree with many of Myers's local judgments but agree with his broad indictment. It's a manifesto well worth reading: funny, sharp, and usefully provocative.

B R Myers: Dumb animals

��Life cannot be classified in terms of a simple neurological ladder, with human beings at the top; it is more accurate to talk of different forms of intelligence, each with its strengths and weaknesses. This point was well demonstrated in the minutes before last December’s tsunami, when tourists grabbed their digital cameras and ran after the ebbing surf, and all the ‘dumb’ animals made for the…

Can I get a nsfw alphabet with Rz Michael Myers please?

NSFW ABCS with RZ Michael Myers

Surprised I haven't written this yet 😭

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

You have to teach him aftercare because he has no clue what it is, although he will try to cuddle after sex but it's still in his big awkward way.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

He doesn't really have a favorite of his. If mask count it is his favorite. For you it's your hips and thighs. He just latches on to those during sex everytime.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He doesn't not care at all where it goes.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He is a panty thief. Stealing anything he can get his hands on so always check you landry.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

None at all unsurprisingly.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Doggy, mating press, or reverse cowgirl.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

It's Michael there is no humor.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

You've seen his hair, you KNOW he is totally buck wild.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Rough but caring. He always wants to be sweet but he can't help himself.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

He does when you not around. All the time.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Breeding, oral (giving and receiving), bondge and somnophilia.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Any where, any time and any place.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

You. Anything you do makes him want to fuck.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Mommy/daddy or degrading.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Receiving but he won't mind trying the deed on you.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Fast and rough. He is never really sensual but he does try to care.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Sometimes he is down but really only when he is busy.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

No he likes the safe way. He doesn't like doing new or scary things.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

As many as he wants. Normal 4 or 5 if you can.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

No he just uses himself. That's all he needs and so will you.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He doesn't care whether he is teasing or not he is fucking how he wants.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Little grunts til he finishes with a loud grunt than a small whimper. Everytime.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

He really does want to cuddle after sex but he doesn't know how to ask.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Big and thick about 9 inches uncut and dark pink at the tip.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Pretty high but he can never communicate it to you so times he'll just grab you if he wants you.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He doesn't sleep. Not unless he is dead tired.

[rzyraffek]

(Caregivers are basically people who take care of age regressing person (in this context) )

Info: they/them, sfw, Request open

Slashers being s/o's caregivers

Jason Voorhees

Dude already acts like you're a baby, so he wouldn't mind doing it more often

When s/o asked him about being their caregiver dude kinda didn't expect that? You trust him to take care of you? THE Jason Voorhees?? Yay💖

He enjoys taking care of s/o whether they are age regressing or no

He doesnt even need to know what is age regression and how it works. Jason just vibes

Will absolutely spoil them btw

9/10 sweet guy

Micheal Myers

👍

Dude doesn't care

He is a bully and probably thinks that "You are already acting like a crybaby🥱 so whats the diffrence"

Tbh he always vibed more with kids than adults cuz they often judge him for all the 'killing innocent people' ugh. So he doest really mind s/o age regressing

The cons are that he is acting like old grandad who has no clue how to child

The pros are that he will throw hands if somone is rude (tbh they dont even need to be rude towards s/o they just have to look at them for too long)

He sometimes doodles with s/o! You guys have similar artystyles😭

4/10 evil

Brahms Heelshire

Funfact! I refuse to belive that name Brahms fucking exists, tf is that name, it doesn't sound like an acuall name but some made up shit

Dude is kinda worried that he will do something dumb while s/o is regressing. Like what if he sets kitchen on fire or something😭

Makes all schedule for little s/o😊 when there's nap time, when to eat, ect. Cuz he would get so lost without the plan

Picks s/o up like sack of potatos

6/10 pookie tried

Billy Lenz

BRO GETS MORE ALONG WITH S/O WHILE THEY ARE REGRESSING HELP😭😭😭

Dude is simple minded, and childish and

Yeah he sucks at taking care of s/o, like how could he know that little humans need to be taken care off???? Like??? Why would he give them food? Dude bearly knows how to boil water

Exept all 'taking care of s/o' thingy he is a good at keeping company! He shares snacks and watches cartoons with s/o!

Sometimes he likes to pretend that he's a rat and he bites their legs during nap/sleep time (he doenst care if they are regressing or nah he just does that)

2/10 will hiss

Vincent Sinclair

Has siblings, hes knows how to child

Makes nice food and will spoon feed s/o if necessary

Very good at reading emotions so if s/o isn't very talkative... dude knows what's up

Infodumps them about pokemon games and lets s/o play on his old Nintendo DS

10/10 knows how to child

Bo Sinclair

Definitely dad vibes

Picks you up and goes 'ew a child' and after few days hes like 'if something happens to them I'm going to kill everyone in this room then myself'

Tbh he kinda lets himself be silly around little s/o cuz they won't judge or tease him for it

Dude absolutely picks them up and play-fights alot btw

6/10 b(r)o

All x reader tags are purley to reach bigger audience!! I used 's/o' cuz thats what anon wanted🥱

Giving Voltron Characters Weed: MFE Addition!

James Griffin

Keith introduced it to him while they were still at the Garrison. (For time's sake, I'm going to say this is after Keith and James made up from their fight and became friends.) They're both 17.

Very nervous about saying something stupid while under the influence.

He's hesitant about smoking it because it damages your lungs but Keith convinces him to try it bc it doesn't have any carcinogen byproducts.

LOSES CONTROL OF MOTOR SKILLS. Trying to open a bag of chips? Hand slips and smacks someone in the face. Trying to sneak into the kitchen for snacks? Tripping over his own feet and slamming into the wall.

Similar to Lance, he becomes very giggly and social. His walls fall down and he's much more open. Because of this he only smokes with people he trusts.

No longer the voice of reason when he's high, he's down to do all sorts of dumb shit.

James always made sure that, at least once a week, he and Keith could sneak off somewhere and have a private smoke sesh.

Ryan Kinkade

Usually a very stoic man, but get some cannabis in his system and he won't shut up.

The team has weekly movie nights to bond, and this is where he first tried it.

Blurts out movie trivia and facts. Also yells at the TV when the characters are doing something stupid.

“Did you know in the original Halloween you can see the wrench used on the fake hand when Micheal Myers’s breaks the cars window?”

Mister mistro! Though he mainly listens to movie soundtracks (what a nerd) he has multiple playlists to smoke to for whatever vibe the team is feeling at the moment.

Holds all the gear (papers, pipes, grinders etc.) for the team. When it’s smoking time he’s expected to bring it all.

Nadia Rizavi

Weed FIEND.

Has been smoking daily since she was 17.

Doesn't have her medical card so when the Garrison does drug tests she goes knocking.

Queen at hiding her stash.

When Ryan suggested a "movie night" (code for a smoke sesh) but realized they didn't have any weed Nadia was like "Come here".

She opens a secret compartment in her drawer Death Note style and there's just like 5 ounces sitting there.

Loves to dance to some of Kinkade’s playlist, specifically his R&B one.

Will smoke and do edibles at the same time.

Ina Leifsdottir

Had no idea the team was eating edibles.

So when she popped five gummies in her mouth the entire team was like :O

Poor girl had no idea what hit her.

Absolutely immobile, limbs heavy, palms sweaty, mom's spaghetti.

REALLY likes a body high but doesn't mind a head high as it makes her mind go quiet for once.

Catch her eating some of the most delicious food when she has the munchies.

“What do you have Ina?”

“Traditional Belgian waffle with sugar pearls!”

“Where did you even get that…”

She doesn’t really feel like she needs to mask her autism since she was always praised for the intelligence that came with it. But she really struggles in social situations. Weed helps her become less rigid and helps her come into her personality.

She doesn’t like to smoke because she coughs so hard she gags.

They seem to be providing services to veterans and also hand out a number of awards, in collaboration with Military Times. Here is their webpage: https://ift.tt/l7tFz3H visited a Fisher House in connection with Ingriftus Dusseldorf:https://archive.ph/nTCJG​Fisher Houses are given to the U. S. Government as gifts. Military service secretaries and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the homes. Fisher House Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code, builds new houses and assists in the coordination of private support while encouraging public support for the homes.The BasicsProximity to hospital – most houses are within walking distance to the hospital, however, when they are not, transportation is provided to and from the hospital.Safety is important! There is a key or fob to get into the Fisher House and a key to get into your private suite.
