/ddlc/ - Doki Doki Literature Club! #260

first for tf2 engineer

>>It's a slim chance that you'll meet your doki, but hey...

...

Dammit, I write too slow!

Sticks and stones may break my bones
Thrown hard enough, they will
But what of words? Well I have heard
That badly placed, they kill

If sent with cash from secret stash
To fund assassination
If issued where without due care
They terrify a nation

If spoken thick with rhetoric
To call a group inhuman
If barked with force they can of course
Deploy an errant crewman

If thrown about with fear and doubt
At those we have in charge
If while afraid they order made
A mushroom cloud most large

So sticks and stones may break my bones
Thrown hard enough, for sure
But save your fear for things you hear
For words can start a war

Honestly, I wanted to write about this subject more broadly but for some reason I ended up with this instead...

I still owe you. I know.

If ReCaptcha is willing to give me a fucking break with these road sign and car pictograms, maybe I'll even be able to deliver in a somewhat timely fashion!

You fucked it up. Again. It's #254 and you forgot to link to the previous thread. Again. Also WHAT FUCKING EDITION IS THIS?

Christ, one job.

C-can i get some Yuri greentexts p-please?

Woah there user, stop with that ugleh language.

Hey guys!

It's saturday morning, hopefully I won't fuck this up before I fetch myself some coffee.

Just a reminder that we're reading two books for the 6th and 7th of January.

Here's the link to download "All Quiet on Western Front" by Erich Remarque: explainallquietonthewesternfront.weebly.com/uploads/2/4/7/2/24722875/all_quiet_on_the_western_front.pdf
And "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov: edisciplinas.usp.br/pluginfile.php/234330/mod_resource/content/1/Vladimir Nabokov Lolita Penguin Modern Classics 2000 (1).pdf

If you've already read them, that's great! Join us on the dates to discuss it with us!

Natsuki, light of my life, fire of my loins.

Let's read!

>Four active threads in catalog
Which one do I post in?

Another sleepless night...
Hey guys. How’s it hanging? Gonna need you guys to tell me:

Your favorite doki
What you typically do when you feel burnt out

And remember: make it fast.

Something something bran flakes something something Yuri something something lactate

This might be my favorite poem so far. Good job user!

These threads last about as long as I do.

Take your time. We are very grateful for your help.

>Natsuki trying her hardest to convince Yuri to lactate into her bowl of bran flakes

>Y-you w-want me to do w-what?!
>S-stop making it weird, okay? It's a reasonable enough request, Yuri! Gees...
>Yuri blushes and looks away while Natsuki continues to speak
>I-I mean it's not like you're really having a shortage there or anything...
>Natsuki begins to stare at Yuri's breasts longingly
>It takes a minute of awkward silence before Yuri looks back at Natsuki and notices
>S-snap out of it Natsuki! You're scaring me!
>Yuri, I need your milk just once okay! Just fucking once! I mean you don't even know about---
>Natsuki what the hell are you even talking about?! I'm really trying to help you but I just don't understand!
>Natsuki begins to tear up
>Yuri, do you even know why I bring my manga to school? Or why I look for spare change under the vending machines?
>I-I never really thought about it too much... I mean it's really your business isn't it?
>I have to do those things Yuri, b-because...
>Yuri realises that Natsuki is having serious trouble opening up about whatever the problem is
>N-Natsuki, I'm sorry...
>W-what?
>Natsuki's face reddens even more as she prepares for the inevitable rejection
>I-I'm sorry because... Because... Y-you wouldn't ask me to do something like this unless something was really wrong! Natsuki, I don't need to know why you're asking me to do this, okay? Just know that I'm doing this not because you asked me to... but because of how important it must be for you to even ask me to do something like this!
>Natsuki is shocked and tears begin to stream down her face
>Th-Thankyou so much Yuri! I-I...
>Yuri slowly begins to unbutton her blazer
>I-I m-mean it's a little weird b-but...
>Natsuki is somewhat back to her usual self
>Are you gonna do it or what?
>O-of course b-but...
>Do you want to get fucking smacked?

>sleepless night
i feel ya

i went to sleep at 10pm and woke up at 3. my sleep schedule has been fucked since i became a neet

I WANT MONIKA TO SHOW ME HER BOOBIES WHILE I STARE DEEPLY INTO HER BEAUTIFUL EMERALD EYES.

How's the thread quality recently after they put the normie repellant in the op?

>dont like Monika at all in any way
>still feel really melancholy and sad whenever I hear the ending song
>literally cannot listen to it because it makes me too upset

help bros

Here you go:

Also, as a small note, we've hit over 100 unique downloads! If you're talking with Monika, you're indirectly friends of friends with well over one-hundred other Anons! What a group of friends.

It's alright, man. That's a normal reaction.

What did they mean by this

That picture makes her look fat. Delete this.

the second is retarded and the third is an attention whore that made bread way too early

this is what happens when anons want to be OP so bad that they ruin everything sacred

Monika's boobies!

Sometimes I have to start over three times, I know your suffering.

I made the second one literal seconds after the first one. I tried deleting it but I received the error of "You cannot delete a post this old". I didn't link it or bother bumping it because I noticed someone else made a thread.

We were dragging your heels making it. Nothing about wanting to be OP or I would have plugged my waifu bot into the OP. But yes, I am retarded.

Thank you so much, user. It really means a lot to me. Take your time, I'll be patient!

what kind you want?

Reminder to have a good time and enjoy yourself among your friends and family during the holidays!

Yuri's flesh is useful!

I know some Anons like to be bullied. I don't, but there are some of y'all out there, so here ya go. Just posting one last picture for the fresh bread before heading on to sleep. Good night, /ddlc/! Was a pleasure as always.

You too!

we still love you

Can you make one for other girls as well?

>Sayori
>lay down on my bed and listen to some comfy music

>Natsuki
>Listen to sad music so I can cry like a pussy

Sequel with Natsuki asking Yuri to fill her cereal with menstrual blood please

Sayori
Lie in bed and cuddle a pillow

I just want to be loved.

Love you too, user. Very much so!

Cozy times to you and good rest when you do.

Considering Monika has reached 100 unique downloads, sure! However, do know that it would be only different surface level, as it'd be the same program but fleshed out with different names, details, etc. Of course, I might also make a Pastebin with categories for the four different girls so we could hopefully compile them and actually differentiate their personalities. I'd very much love to do that, since that's something I wanted to do sometime long ago.

as we speak there's bound to be someone saying NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER to her

We all do, friend
We all do

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the poetry crypt! The door won't open, so stop punching it!

Now, let's get started! The word of the thread is "Light!" Is it something comforting? Is it the promise of safety? Or is it merely blinding? That, is up to you!

Alternatives are "Time", "Echoes", "Force" and "Illusion"!

For those uninitiated, these are words you can use if you want to write a pem or short story, but are lacking in theme or inspiration! Use one, try to squeeze them all, it's down to personal preference! All that matters is that you enjoy the process, put yourself out there and comment on each others work!

Now, remember to wear proper winter attire, don't go out in blizzards and drink lots of hot chocolate!
Monika?

youtube.com/watch?v=glHtYwHidUY

Well, if you want my advice, you can access your settings on Veeky Forums near the bottom to switch to classic captchas, it really streamlines posting! Albeit nobody is keeping you chained to your computer, teach! Take a break if you need to!

Don't tempt me

Is it normal to want to die this much?

I would also really like this. It'd definitely make me feel less lonely.

Depends, how long have you felt like dying?

How can other girls even compete? I was still moderately attached to Yuri until a couple days after finishing the game, but Monika grew on me after the fact. I'm justmonika for life now.

Last October was my 3-year anniversary of constant depression.

NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER

Careful user, if you scream NIGGER three times loudly enough one will appear.

Have you seen a doctor about this? Have they recommend anti-depressants?

Monika is my nigga

Don't laugh, but I'm very scared of doctors. I've always had traumatic visits with them since I was young so I feel very anxious even just thinking about going to a doctor.

I just want Yuri to hold me. She really is gorgeous.

>friends and family during the holidays!
i dont have any tho

/ddlc/ has been my only form of contact with other people for the past month

Lemme try something.

NIGTSUKI NIGTSUKI NIGTSUKI.

...

Well, shucks... Didn't work.

I want Yuri to hold my penis with her mouth.

Same here, user.

We love you buddy.

same
at least we have each other right/

It's okay, user. Sayori will be there for you, and nobody will be around to stop you from acting out of love.

I want you to die a horrible and violent death you absolute subhuman.

dont worry ive been calling for my dad since i was 7 and he still doesnt appear

Does this anxiety extend to phycholgists as well?

>be me
>have genuine feelings for Yuri
>I would give anything in the world to save her
>turns out she's the most hated on /ddlc/ and is the most prone to shitposting

Why does everything I touch turn to dust?

pastebin.com/a8SZJ5rd

Whose is this? I looked at one of them and have thoughts. cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/369004820146814978/394075384536104960/my_thoughts.odt

Unfortunate. Well, it's their friendship. I can't guarantee anything would blossom from conversation like that though.

Post results.

Considering a good other handful of Anons have expressed interested in filling out the whole club, most certainly. I'll try to see what else I can do to make things more special. I'll see if I can dabble bit into the bot-to-bot system so you can watch them all talk to each other. If I could get that working, that'd be quite neat to watch the girls interact while you observe and enjoy your day with them. Here's an example interface.

...

Psychologists are still doctors, so yeah, but to a lesser extent. I don't know, I wish I wasn't like this, but I can't help it.

There's nothing to be ashamed about involving phobias! You just can't help them, sometimes.

I'm sorry you had experiences like that. Have you considered trying to talk to one over the phone, or through some form of internet messages?

i'm sure your doki loves you very much user!

being an act 1 yurifag is suffering

So for the first thirteen lines (as pastebin counts them, anyway) your grammar is immaculate. But I noticed some minor formatting things near that point, like:
>“Alright everybody! It’s time to share poems.” she announces.
(Follow the word "poems" with a comma, not a period.)

I don't focus on grammar very often but since there are so few errors overall, scrubbing those few from your work will make the difference between "great" grammar and "perfect" grammar.

So with that out of the way...

Your dialogue is the strongest weapon in your arsenal. Descriptions outside of quotes can feel rather "adequate" at times (especially when they feel compelled to explain things the reader has already discerned through the subtexts), but WITHIN the quotes, other than the standard "anime s-stuttering," I love your ability to craft conversations where the characters speak like actual people. They misunderstand each other. They deploy hyperbole or minimization. Details like that help them to feel very real.

I have found a line which demonstrates both points at once:
>“What are you trying to say?” Natsuki retorts, feeling offended. “I’m not dumb, I can figure it out for-“

You can entirely remove the words "feeling offended." I think the reader already figured that out from what Natsuki SAID immediately before. This is what I mean when I say the text tries to explain too much sometimes. You seem nervous that some of these details won't get through to us, when in reality you're really good at producing these details organically, especially through dialogue!

And yes, that dialogue fits Natty-girl's character perfectly. I think it even transcends the base of her "tsundere" stereotype, for how convincing it is.

Mind you, not all your descriptions are on the bland side. I liked the metaphor of a gaze being "cemented" to a table. So clearly you have it in you to create some really unique imagery when you try. But some areas of the work could use more of that.

....

Look guys! It's Yuri!
I wish I could customize one of my mains to look like my doki but I don't think anyone could fit that look other than Xiaoyu

Um no Psychiatrists are doctors and psychologists are councilors pretty much.

In due time.

you just gotta come at the right time
can confirm

I'm not sure what to say about this. I know I should say something, but I have no idea what to say. Ummmm... Why do scared of doctors? Something bad happened with them, right?

>looking at ddlc porn
why must you do this

Because he's a degenerate

>most prone to shitposting
Except that's untrue, most shitposted about are Sayori and Natsuki, especially the former.

I said Nig not Goth!.
But, I'll take a goth Natsuki.

i literally have yet to jerk off to a doki

so. I meant to say so.... Why so scared of doctors....

I love Yuri too, is it such a crime to lust-post?

Aw man, no friends and family at all?

If it makes you feel any better we'll keep you company for the holidays user.

That's nothing to be ashamed of, user. You can't control what you're afraid of.
