T2e3 The sending of the Imagination

You shalll not pass! Oh, please... This path's bewatched by Ocoth the Sorcerer, it's a perilous path long time tracked by famous heroes like the great Bobby Joe from Alabama and of course Don Georgós of Asgard. However there lies an evil beyond all imaginations. Something that never could be controlled... Look... shut the *** up... My clock tells me you're aproximately... let's see... aproximately two days delayed! You shall not pass through here! Pss... If you can pass the trials of the voyager you'll be able to cross the heroes of the deeds... I mean the path of the heroes of the deeds. However you'll know those trials have a high cost. You shall pay 15 gold coins and 12 maravedises to be able to cross this path. Look, you're nothing but a vagrant who wants some money to get drunk. You think I have money for you? I am poorer than you! At least you have money to rent that ludicrous costume. You think you can cross this path?? You won't be able to do it!! Know what? *** you... *** you deeply. About fantasy, there's a lot of discussions about fantasy, there're some canons... all rubbish! A story written by a person should be the legacy of that person. The books! The books! Books make you laugh, other ones make you think, other ones make you cry... What is needed is that a person who desires telling a story don't be bound by canons in order to tell it. Cuz according to fantasy canons Tolkine's the *** boss. Tolkien's unable to tell you there's a road without telling you every single person who walked through it. What's that? A marketing strategy to sell more books when your writing stinks? Let's do as if I am blind! Ridiculous things which became myths... Simply to fap yourself saying "oh, how well I follow the canon". An eye of fire! Oh my God, it's an eye of fire, I'm scared, it's gonna kill me! Wizards... those godlike entities... There was an evil wizard who transformed insects in crab! A very good story, but the problem appears when people begin to believe it is true. Gandalf could have eaten Sauron with french fries. Don Georgos of Asgard! I am Don Georgos of Asgard! Your're Don Georgos of Asgads? No, I am Henker Gido, the great legendary hero! Able to sail the deepest seas to reascue princesses in distress and, of course, always ready to eat a troll's poo! Ad the great hero of the deeds from the Netherworld... Willy Quijano, I am a paladin! And that's another thing, fantasy heroes use to be all dumb. Elves are wonderful creatures... of supreme beauty! With their pointing ears and their elven eyes... Oooh, what your elven eyes see? Humans are imbecile beings, that's undiscussable. And then you see the orcs who're horrible and stinky beings. You're legitimating certain power relationships. The same as always! And of course, outside this lie the wizards... To advance the plot you have to eat at least 112 pages. Have some imagination! Tempo is neccessary, not everything has the same length. You have the hero here in his village. He have to walk 500 miles in order to reach the city, where lurks the evil merchant, who rules the world through his round candies. In the road doesn't happen anything. Ok, the hero finds a wild ferret called Stalin, but that's all what happens. You're gonna waste less time on it and it'll gonna communicate you more. In the 500 miles road the hero, called Handr of Mondr found a ferret, the ferret said *ferret sound* and it left. And 500 miles far away we reach the city. And in those 112 pages, Frodo Baggins made two steps on the road. That's the quest. If it's a story about turds, then it's perfectly logical. You'll skip another parts like the battle with the final boss. A very legendary example is The Lord of the Rings. But if it's a story of heroic fantasy, you skip the turds and focus on... Aaaaaaahhh! David Eddings, for example, writed good fantasy. And I think I have no more examples, despite the Big SkS. No, Terry Pratchett... If you alredy worte 30 books telling the same, why writing 31? Rest a bit, man... I mean, you're already retired. It's not enough. Even if the book tells some interesting things. Oh, this gentleman writes so good. I feel super identified, yesyes... A book only make sense in the moment it offers something to you which a comic or a film cannot. Life imitates Art. When the moment comes to write a fantasy story... or whatever story you want... it should be a dialogue between the one who writes and the one who reads. If the writer has already told everything, why are you gonna bother on reading it? Everything's said. You inneccessarily make the text too dense and the head becomes tired. In that moment, when the General speaks with his wife, you imagine he's *** her from the rear. That's it. Books're neccessary for the things they don't say, and the imagination of the reader should fill the gaps. A book isn't finished when it's written, but when is read, when other people read it. The books is an incomplete text and that's what makes it powerful. The perfect story would be blank. You can imagine everything. As Oscard Wilde said, I think it was Oscar Wilde... Every writer's nightmare is not to have enough spirits to write. For me, realistic literature is a kind of ***. When you read a book writen by someone you see in that text the essence of that person, who is communicating some specifically personal and absolutely singular ideas, despite of how original they are. Even a troll! Originality's a overoveroveroveroverrated concept. You see its unique style, you have to see it! And it transmits you something... it could be "***, what a *** of a book!" That's what Tolkien transmits. *** Allen's films, for example, are schizophrenical, however, try to do it yourself. Tell me a magnificent story of a macho detective that would open the gates to a new reality. In order to achieve market success, authors *** themselves. The truth of templas, the riddle of templars... The Da Vinci Code's nothing but a lump of commercial rubbish. You bet something to Dan Brown being fan of Tolkien? You're a witch! We should burn you, for goodness sake! That was saying by Antonio Machado, very accurately, by the way. Even if I don't like his poetry at all. And know what's the worst? That non-fiction writers like to *** themselves even more. You can do it on films, but it's different on books. They *** themselves! The idiot of the prime numbers... you read it and what transmits you? It's your biography, son of a...!! But in the other side, the most sold fiction book in the world is the Bible. Who feels identified with that book? Maybe the 70% of world population, but maybe the 70% of wolrd population is composed by idiots. A very horrible word, "consume". To consume is to burn something to ashes. Despite the people who could buy or read them... My style was a fresh style and without any complex. Directly bocatto di cardinale. Becaouse the reast, lessee... this isn't real life. Literary context doesn't allow you to express your ideads, because marketing demonstrates that's not being sold, marketing serves for nothing! The ludicrous story sold to people to mentaly fap with it. What people tell you they want and, maybe, which hormonates people, but not what they really, in their inner self, are willing to obtain. To make you say "I also thought like that before, but society has corrupted me. Now I can think like this once again!" And singularity is always possible! Do I like literature engagee, no! It's another prostitution for me! Originality is nothing. An very ugly word and, as a literate, one is responsible of situating as positive the positive words and as negative the negative ones. People speaks about consume so easily, as they could speak about violets, but to consume is negative! The positive thing is exploitation. And that's the power of the books. However, fill the gaps! *fake shots*
