So listen up. There's this one pige, who lives as a pige, surrounded by pige, and all he knows is pige. However, he believes he may not be able to stand up to the ideal of the Pige. Therefore he is fraught with anxiety and sadness by his possibly unfulfilled life. He comes to terms with his pige-ness when he accepts that there is nothing that he can ever do better, or worse than anyone else, an that since he is an individual being, he needs not aspire to become the Pige physically represented, but instead to remain satisfied with being a pige.

A movie design/prop artist works on a life-size replica as a personal project. He becomes obsessed and begins going to absurd lengths to make it as realistic as possible, eventually removing his hair, nails, teeth, and skin to be prepared and used in the replica.
As he devotes all his time to the replica and becomes emaciated and disheveled, he has to continuously update it to reflect his new look, causing him even more stress and pain.
He begins hallucinating and conversing with the replica, which acts as an idealized version of himself and convinces him to continue physically harming himself, resulting in the artist beginning to work on a perfect replica of his organ systems, some of which he'll replace with his own and use as the centerpiece of the reworked replica, which will breathe, move, and circulate the artist's real blood via complicated mechanics inside.
He dies before finishing but it's left unclear whether the replica communicating with him was due to psychosis or demonic activity.

The pollution of the planet also affects the ecosystem in a positive way, forcing the plant life to adapt and the entire food chain as well.
The characters live in a small village unaffected by the pollution. The main character eventually meets someone that shows him a beach made entirely of cigarettes.

The ending is five chapters of prose describing how a space marine from Earth fucked an alien and made a half-breed that will attempt to help the people living on the garbage world in the sequel nobody will ask for.

A middle-aged married couple goes on vacation away from their children (mid-late teens). While they are gone, one of the kids commits suicide. It is mostly from the point of view of the parents (probably the father), but will also have a section from the point of view of one of the kids in the aftermath of the suicide, including his contacting his parents.

Thematically I hope to tell how dangerous it is to be parent passively rather than actively, to allow children to basically do whatever they want rather than put them on a path leading towards something, anything.

NEETs only contact with people, ,aside from the guy that delivers ordered food and supplies, is 4chan where he goes on /r9k/ to blog about his conditioning. First he gets emotionally upset when anons call him faggot so he begins cutting himself, then he finds company of same miserable idiots that have a tournament on who is more fucked in life. He slowly degrades and his sexuality end up being /d/ and /b/. Due to developing fetishes autogynephilia start kicking in and he want to transition, there his fake dysphoria and lack of money kick in as his mental state degrades even more with being regularly on /r9k/. One day, he spent all his money his parents sent him, he realizes he now has to take things in his hands and change himself. It's hard for him as he is too deep in shit. Though contrary to his expectations, he managed to force himself to do minimal exercise through great effort. He starts to change his mindset and for a few moths you would never believe what he was. But then, it all crumbles, his impulses that defeat him make him visit /r9k/ again, returning him to old habits.
In 2 years he repeated dozens of failed start ups, until he lost hope... now he returned to everything he did and even worse, without trace of hope until death takes him away, as he is tying the noose.

I had an idea for a book called “The Great Filter,” which is about humanity colonizing a distant planet. A thousand years later of very little contact both human civilizations split and the Earth civilization succumbs to global warming and a Third World War which basically destroys the planet, forcing the now globalist and communist Earth government to flee on spaceships to forcefully colonize this distant planet.
The book basically follows the war between the Earth government and the more primitive united city states on the planet, ending with a shared nuclear exchange that destroys the Earth fleet and basically turns the planet into radioactive rubble (akin to what Earth was at this point).
It’s basically about if humans can adapt to their technology and if they can survive to become a spacefaring race (they can’t).

Make a character study about someone who has deprrssion, yet has absoloutly no reason to be depressed. Loving family, healthy, some friends, and enough money. This ungratefulness makes them spiral further and further into their depression, because they know they have no reason to.
To cope, they do things that completly detstroy any sense of self worth to try and make people laugh, yet regardless of if they do or not keeps getting them lower and lower.
Maybe they find a love intrest, maybe not, but in the end we finish the same way we have started. We learn about their self destructive tendancies, and know how they could fix them, yet also know why they wont, leaving them to repeat this cycle until they either mature or give up on life.

I like to make small tales and here's an idea I had some time ago:
A stranded 19 person is found in a deserted island, he has been there for twelve years and he doesn't even know what are humans, including himself he has been living alone with no company for all that time, after they find him and put him in a mental institution (as he can't talk nor communicate with people) the authorities try to identify him and find out why he was there. He starts regaining sense as the investigation progresses and reveal that he had a lot of mental issues, all caused by the parenting he received, in the end , when they finally unveil all the story he strangles himself until he dies.

There's much more concepts in the tale, but that's the summary.

Inspired by a dream I had:
Sheltered 14yo takes a vacation with his family to visit their rich relatives at their southern estate. He takes a liking to their 20yo son, who talks to him about sex/cool/taboo stuff and gives him alcohol, since he never had a younger brother of his own. At some point he gets to briefly hang out with the 20yo and his friends at a get-together (the expectation being that he'll leave shortly), and accidentally drinks a spiked beverage and spends the night wandering the property seeing a whirlwind of strange scenes (surreal at first, then horrifying as the night goes on). When he wakes up, he remembers some vague/strange things the family had passingly mentioned, and wonders if/how much of what he saw was real.
I don't actually know much about drugs, what would produce a long swirl of surreal hallucinations? PCP? Ket?

Horror-noir about a fish demon which lives in a lake, which has a hotel/bar overlooking it. A wedding is taking place at the hotel and the fish beast is feasting. It's like an Agatha Christie novel, but with a sea beast. The narrator is an old man who as a child saw a woman fall into the lake and never return, nobody believed him, and he's been trying to figure it out ever since.

It's cheesy sci-fi taking tons of references so bear with me

Alien race, born in a solar system with 2 inhabited planets fairly close together. At some point (not sure what technology would be needed yet) the two planets realize that the other is inhabited. This revelation sparks huge societal changes on both rocks as they decide how to proceed. This shoves them forward a few hundred years by putting emphasis on inter-planetary communications, efficient exchanges of knowledge, general curiosity of meeting others/exploring another planet, etc.

they're eventually able to establish a decent travel-way between worlds, which pushes their technology and research further. lots of room for details of physical appearance here that could have interesting implications.

this could be its own story, or it could just be background to a much larger story. but as usual, i've got a trillion ideas and offshoots for every little detail, but settling on a central theme is...

Plz don't steal. So there's this State/Empire. It exists I guess in another world. Not really Earth. It is the strongest/most prosperous nation in that world. Although there is a nominal civilian government it is mostly governed by its military headed by the marshal of the army. But to its own benefit, the state is not super brutal and opressive or anything. There is a Royal family and a very young empress, traditionally in power but their power has diminished and they are essentially just figureheads at the present time. Two of the main characters are the marshal and his daughter. The marshal is loved by the people almost mythically because of his exploits in battle and his charisma, along with his physical appearance--he is handsome, incredibly tall (like 6'8 tier) and athletic, is shown hunting/boxing/etc. Kind of like Putin.

Daughter is 16 or so and goes to an elite prep high school with other rich and powerful people's kids. Daughter has a kind and gentle personality, but she finds it hard to have meaningful or authentic interactions with others because being the marshal's daughter most people tend to engage her with vaugue awe or apprehension, or else in some way try to suck up to get in the good graces of power. She is also incredibly tall and athletic (like 6'3) but unlike Dad this doesn't do her any favors and just compounds her awkwardness. Her oldest true friend is a nerdy "weird" girl who plays TCG with boys, etc. kek.

Continued...

Anyway, the main kind of macro conflict in this story begins with with the Empire's prized mining colony. This colony is a moon (with atmosphere) nearby the main world. The Empire controls this moon which is rich in a valuable mineral, and this is a big source of the Empire's wealth. But they are in basically a constant state of light war over this moon which is constantly raided by pirates and more recently a war of revolt among some of the colonists has been ongoing. The fighting is inevitbly a quagmire because it is taking place right on top of the Empire's own valuable resource, so only bare minimum engagements are usually made, like brushing away flies to risk destroying a source of their own wealth. At some point the Marshal makes the decision to crush the rebellion. It succeeds but a decisive attack inevitably damages a lot of the resource and there are attendant consequences (plummeting stocks, etc.).

There are various factions at play in the state that start to move after this incident. One prince of the royal family, who is a lieutenant in the army, is disillusioned by the Royals' diminished significance and resents the Marshal's popularity and status. After the rebellion he asks Marshal to marry Daughter in a kind of can't beat them so join them powerplay. Marshal knows its a powerplay and also considers his daughter's aversion to such a thing and rejects the prince, which is a massive taboo traditionally. Prince relents quietly but plots his next move. He will try to mobilize Royalists who wish to see the Monarchy regain real power.
Another faction involves disillusioned ex soldiers. One consequence of the incident is that given the strained economic situation after defeating the rebellion, pensions for many soldiers are reduced and it is also more difficult for them to find new jobs after service.
Besides the bigger political things, the story also focuses a lot on the daughter and her daily/school life and her relationships with friends/her father/her brother (also a military officer).

That's my autistic idea. Ex Army officer who watches too many Chinese cartoons, sorry.

Basically a book to piss off anyone who liked a Handmaids Tale. It's about a slutty maid who uses sex to get what she wants, and crushes the hearts of men who think they see value in her by using them for her own self interests while complaining to others about being oppressed.

So, this guy is from a guard that protects what kinda is the embodiment of ancient goddess in the body of a 15 year old girl. The MC has to scort her somewhere for a diplomatic mission, she scapes because MC is a stupid guy. He tries to find her and protect her from any other god that tries to hurt her. He later realises that may be he's just a regular dude and not a hero and that he's getting into a big problem that doesn't matter to him and just is a puppet for gods' plans.

Me too, but those kinds of stories have been done many times. Most of them seem to presuppose that either fantastical phenomena are 100% fake or 100% real, or we can never now, but either way myths and miracles cannot coexist side by side.

My idea is to write a "deconstruction" (for lack of a better word) of those stories by having a RELIABLE narrator tell a story of how a real ghost or alien would deal with a crazy person seeing fake ghosts or aliens. I have no idea how that would actually go, though.

So do you like Beowulf because of the aesthetic, or some sort of muh heritage based reaction? Not that I don't really enjoy the story as well- the idea of the sheer evil presence that graphically murders at the start of the book is so well written it's crazy.

I found 8ch to be too boring for some reason. I use two other chans besies 4, but they're beyond niche.

My favorite book is hard to say, but I did really enjoy Treasure Island. It's the raw spirit of adventure.

Anyone who practices figurative-blood worship I have trouble respecting. "I worship Odin because I'm Swedish!" Then you don't really "believe" in Odin, if your faith is based on what is ultimately a form of materialism. There is nothing wrong with respecting your heritage, however. Why would I say it's my favorite story, then? I like Gilgamesh a lot, too. It's the high-idealism and simple-living espoused that I adore.
Aesthetic is nice too, but shouldn't be a reason for why something is someone's favorite, when we are speaking of stories, at least. Assuming I know what you mean, a story for the sake of aesthetics is pathetically shallow.

Why? What is the point? 8fag does a 24-hour captcha, and it's not by Google, so Google doesn't know you post there, whereas every time you post here, Google knows. So why can't gookm00t do it the same way?
