Greentexts should be considered a new and unique literature style

Greentext is anti-intellectual

not entirely greentexts but i found this on /mu/ yesterday and its a nice story

Not to reinforce the graphic layout meme but I really like that OPs posts are centred and the rest are scattered. I think the sad thing is that OP was doing very well at social interaction but had to stop and belittle himself for being "autistic." How strange it is to be anything at all.

Rice owls!

There's that one user who McCarthyposts every so often and they're fucking hilarious. If anybody knows who I'm talking about there was one about the kid shitting while the Judge was talking to him. I can't remember the details but somebody has to have saved it.

Agreed, user's psychology in this is very interesting. He pretty much scores a knock out homerun with a girl that (as someone else points out) 90% of Veeky Forums posters will never experience, but he is constantly plagued by self-loathing and self-doubt. But the story is hopeful: his neuroticism is overcome by the sheer beautiful magic of the universe and he is able to come together with someone and share passionate moments, and probably will continue to do so. A very beautiful short story.

A Veeky Forums fave.

Veeky Forums has a lot of good ones.

There was a monolithic continuous greentext story several years ago on r9k where some sperg wrote an erotic sleepover fantasy

Greentexts seem to convey a feeling that other forms aren't able to offer. They're deeply personal and have narrative but are fragmentary and have can have a lot of "space." Will future scholars be digging through Veeky Forums archives looking at our scribblings like Sappho's fragments or Pompeii's graffiti, fleeting moments of daily life written for anyone to see?

At first I thought that was a weird way of referring to British pounds.

That really is profound in a "le Rick and Morty" kind of way

of course /mu/ loves this affected cutesiness shit

This is very kafkaesque.

>does she say "I wanna fuck?"
depending on the relationship, yes or no. usually, though, there's an unspoken recognition that you wanna bang each other

>how do you take clothes off? etc.
well, literally just that. usually there's foreplay involved, something user hasn't seemed to realise. once the foreplay has been going on long enough and its clear both are willing to move forward, you begin to undress yourselves/ each other, followed by putting on a condom, oral sex, etc.

>what happens if you dont have a condom?
either you have sex anyway like a retard, you stick to just having oral sex or whatever, or you go out and buy one.

>what happens after you finish?
anything, really. having a shower is common, to get rid of the sweat/body fluids etc. afterwars you might watch a movie, get something to eat, or just lay in bed talking about stuff, etc.

I like the shorter and humorous ones better, although I must admit anything that's about shitting is usually hilarious.

I also find them beautiful. The elliptical narration, the vulnerability...

The closest greentext as an art form has ever gotten to Russian literature
Pure literatur

that's like saying tragedy is just Greece's version of EDM

this is incredible

>mods moved thread to /r9k/

lol

There are certainly bad greentexts on level with instapoetry but the question here is if greentexts are a different class of writing than poetry or straight prose. They're certainly written differently, organized differently, and the reader has different expectations. I think the fact that they also come out of a tradition of anonymity and not expantant of money or praise makes them different. They're like messages in a bottle or shards of pottery that are picked up and shared.

This is very kafkaesque.

Greentexts are comparable to poetry inspired and scribbled unsigned on public stalls while having a shite.

I’m still in the middle of this green text novella but I am in love. It’s just so raw, funny and relatable in an unusual, profound sense...
Unironically recommend me some literature like this.

He asks what we all want to know.

Damn, why is this so perfect

>never quite realizing my reactionary superego fully encompassed my ego long ago
Finally I've found an expression of my situation. It just happened so recently and it's my own goddamn fault. Got into Buddhism, went for ego death, turns out it's not all that great. You need an ego to survive in the west, there's no reason to do anything when it's broken.

>You need an ego to survive in the west
This is what westerners actually tell themselves about their generic lives

Meaning what? How do they cope with their generic lives in your homeland?

Unironically
>Yeah, every now and then. How about you?

Foreplay is an unread subject for the vast majority of males. Sad.

How does it work

Be adaptive. Assuming you are a man, and you are, engage in all senses. Touch her sensually without being overtly sexual. Say things that are subtly sexy. Posture yourself as masculine, as well as sexually inviting; eye contact that conveys desire.

Do anything and everything that aesthetically implies sex until it's so obvious that she is aroused.

I'm using a lot of "buzzwords" here, but you really should pay attention to the subtext in film and literature when it comes to romantic intimacy. One does not simply throw a woman on a bed and insert his penis. I mean, you could, but the most satisfaction to be had is to have some sort of tension.
Keep in mind that foreplay is very much a dance, with ebbs and flows of what actions and behaviors work in a given situation. Certain emotions might dominate from one moment to the next. It could be lust now and love later, and vice versa.
The only wrong move is to just be stagnant without creating anything she can react to. Furthermore, everything you do should be reactive to her as well. Try to understand when to advance the foreplay closer to sex, when to prolong the current level, when to bring it back just bit, and so on. Communicate on every level- touch her, talk to her.
Realize that you will not get better at this without doing it in the first place. Don't let the thought of failure or making a mistake stop you from trying, because not trying will hold you back from getting better anyway.

of course there's this:

Anyone?

Tldr
No one cares about your diary honey
Dupity bop I smell a thot

fact is there really isn't any
I have taken to calling it neo-modernism. Compare how honestly well this is written to , which is pretty much the same style but in a more traditional form (as in block text rather than green text). The two are stylistically similar, minimalist but focusing on emotions and snapshots. That's something that strikes me about neo-modernism is how the descriptions don't really flow in a sense. This doesn't mean they are hard to read, but rather it is like you are reading a series of frames rather than a moving reel.
The themes seem to be self-doubt, bitterness, seclusion, and in the end some sort of universal beauty that the protagonist had missed out on in their earlier life but finds redemption in throughout the story.

It’s incredible. I think I spend most of my day reading this. Sometime reading single posts multiple times. A lot of observations are such a gut punch then others made me laugh out loud. The paranoia, the fear of intimacy and the existential despair... I think snapshots does describe this very well. Moods, atmosphere, a kiss, gentle caresses, quiet dusk and casting a glance... I hope some day a Marina will step into my life...
