Since I've had the internet, I've seen stories about giants around the world and no matter where in the world they are, they always look like this. Exactly human, except for the height and only having 4 fingers and toes.

I remember hearing about the testimony of a Smithsonian employee, who, on his deathbed, confessed to the cover-up and destruction of anything to do with giants and anything that did not fit into the historical and evolutionary narrative.

I wonder why. What's wrong with knowing that the history of the world is much more than what a mercenary scientist who sells himself to the highest bidder tells you?

>So why should they do evil against their own citizens
The CIA specifically has a massive lack of oversight and accountability. That is the main reason.
Ideally such organizations should be kept on a very short leash with a very narrow mission scope. That has unfortunately never been the case for the CIA.

What's the point of hiding gigants? What the "elites" would gain with that? Those stupid gigants theory come from stupdi christian trying to prove that the bible is real somehow, get a grip, you're being grifted.

>According to Aztec legends the Quinametzin are giants that inhabited Mesoamerica and Mexico in archaic time.

>The Quinametzin and other humanoid giants are mentioned in Aztec and Mesoamerican mythology and in Spanish chronicles.

>These mysterious beings stood over 10 feet tall and weighed around 600 pounds.

>They lived in a time known as the Era of the Fourth Sun and it is said that they built the pyramids of Teotihuacán and the Great Pyramid of Cholula.

> These mythological beings are associated with the narrative of the Five Suns of the Aztecs, which is about the existence of five eras with five different races in the remote past of America.

>They were created by the Gods in the Age of the Fourth Sun: that of Atltonatiuh (Sun of Water).

>The Ríos Codex or Vatican Codex A, which focuses on the Toltec-Chichimeca people, shows the Aztecs battling and capturing one of these giants.

>The name of the giant that appears in the codex is Quinametzin.
The word comes from ” quinametli “, which means giant.
Aztec mythology says that these beings inhabited Mexico and Central America and that the native peoples fought against them.

>Many chroniclers and scribe priests knew of the giant legends told by the aborigines of ancient Mexico.

>The Bernardino de Sahagun fray even stated that the builders of the pyramids of Teotihuacan and Cholula were these colossal humanoids:

>And the burial mounds that they made to the sun and the moon are like great mountains built by hand, which seems to be natural mountains and they are not, and it can still be an incredible thing to say that they are built by hand, and it is true, because those who They were made then, they were gigantic and even this is clear on the hill or mount of Chollullan, which is clear to be made by hand, because it has adobe and whitewashed (Sahagún, 1956, vol. III, p. 209).

>The Friar Diego Duran also mentioned the presence of giants in the region of Puebla-Tlaxcala: “The other people who say they found those of Tlaxcala and Cholula and Huejotzingo, say they were giants. – extracted from Durán, 1951, P. 14.

>Durán stipulated that long and large bones were found in that region of Puebla that he himself saw when they were being extracted.
He also spoke of battles between the giants and the Cholultecs.

>In addition, Fray Andrés Olmos reported the collection of gigantic standing bones in the palace of Antonio de Mendoza, viceroy of New Spain.

>the Aztec constructions of the pyramids of Teotihuacán and the Great Pyramid of Cholula are among the most amazing and megalithic in America.

>The Great Pyramid of Cholula has been called the largest in the world, with 65 meters high and 450 meters x 450 meters base.

The Vampire Doll (1970)

thank you

bruh is that the 9 tails that was inside naruto

>>68394
yes haha

I never found serial killers interesting and don't understand why normos are so interested in them. I understand the femoid part of the equation since they're animals that find cruelty sexually arousing but what's in it for men to read a psychopath butchering innocent people?

I grew up on police procedurals and detective stories so reading about real world case files of some of the most infamous cases is extremely interesting to me.
I am not going to speculate on the mind of succubi, I will just say that crimes and how they are solved have always made for compelling narratives to me.
That said I only really have interest in solved cases. Unsolved ones aren't my thing. Make of that what you will.
I guess I like when real world evil faces justice due to good detective work.

>>64152
I wonder how many of these asylum border crossers are sickos in disguise

>>68387
few

>>68388
Nah a majority probably. Brownsters are subhuman

>>68262
what i can i do for defeating them. I read somewhere about those kind of attacks make you fell sick, angry or sad, even is theres no reason for it.

>>68263
It is if they include satanic rituals.

>>68350

This has always made me curious, because the politicians around have connections and taste for the satanic, something that goes far beyond the adolescent liking for edgy things, like VivziePop. These people know what they are doing. They use ritual dates to do political acts, they take good care of their steps not to be discovered and they always show themselves as champions of Christianity, or some crap like that. How they live talking about God all the time, when they serve everything that is against him. Also, when they do their rituals and sacrifices, do they get real power from it, or is it just a sadistic display of power towards the common person.

I wonder if Amazon's big promotion of Hazbin hotel is to encourage satanism, like the overton window, in the next generations?

>When you write a story, are you trying to make people learn a specific lesson or political view?
No.
I don't really write fables (specific lessons) or political works.
One day when I feel competent enough I hope write a work loosely inspired by Atlas Shrugged, just because I am convinced I could get the same ideas across without the story telling being so shit, but as far as stuff I have actually written or currently writing, they are pretty devoid of politics, preaching, or propaganda.

If you don't want to write stuff with a message then you don't have to.
Write what you enjoy writing and tell stories you think someone would enjoy hearing. When it comes to fiction, it's about the storycraft first and foremost. Focus on making a good story told well first and foremost and worry about all that other stuff in subsequent drafts.

A Walk in the Park

Prologue


Steam rose from the black reflective disk. Transfixed, a man sat gazing into the darkness. He did not move; he did not blink; he did not breath in that moment as his mind fell deeper and deeper into the inky darkness. The crashing tinkle of the bell of the front door drew the man out of that black pit. He peeled his eyes away from the abyss and observed the outside world once more. The sound announced the entrance of a uniformed police officer who scanned the area before walking with a deliberate stride towards the man, taking a seat across from him . The officer looking down nervously at his fidgeting hands. The man's icy blue cold stare looked through the officer, face set in a stony lack of expression. The officer glanced up opening his mouth to speak before stopping and quickly looking back down with a shiver. The silent moment stretched uncomfortably into a minute. The man's gaze unwavering, the officer still unable to bring himself to meet it.
"Can I get you anything darling?"
The stalemate broken by the outside influence of a well meaning waitress who leaned expectantly at the officer with her little notepad primed to take a order.
"Uh, no. I will just be here a couple of minutes I think." The cop said.
Shifting her focus she ask "Freshen up your coffee dear?"
The man gave a single nod. With that assent she was quick to refill the dark mirror in a mug of black coffee and leave the two men alone.
The man sipped, then took a long deep breath. The comforting smells of sizzling lard on the grittle mingling with the strong coffee brewing. He set the mug down and cupped it with both hands, letting it's warmth radiate up his limbs and defrost his cold expression. He finally look at the officer sitting across from him. Really looked.
Bags under his eyes that don't fit his still youthful face. Nicks in his face from shaky hands and shakier mind. The slump of his shoulders and unease in his posture. He still nervously fidgeted, unsure of what to do with his hands.
Taking another sip the man cleared his throat. "Danny?"
The officer jittered a bit on the spot before responding "Uh, right, um, how do I explain this? "
He paused to collect his thoughts "Detec-"
The man raised his hand to interrupt. "Just Jack now. "
The officer nodded before continuing in a rush "I called you, what I mean to say is that you are the only one I know who can deal with this. WPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I want to write a book set in the 19th century. It's my favorite century of all time. but I have poor knowledge on it :(. to me 19th century sounds like an adventure to me.
if any of you wrote a book (or just some paragraphs) please tell me, I'll hladly read what you wrote

>>68353
Is there anything stopping you from learning more about the 19th century?
If that is the only thing preventing you from writing a book set in that period then a research session and maybe reading books from the period should get you in the proper mindspace with the knowledge needed.
From there you can just look stuff up whenever you run into it in your story.

Like I knew very little about the terms for parts of forts, but there was a fort in my story, so I just looked it up on the spot and put it in. It was that simple.

I didn't read the light novel yet. But both in the anime/mangá Satou is not glorified in any way and sincerely it will be a big surprise if the author has found some way to do so in the light novel. In the manga he seems more likeable because of the way the author portrays Misaki (a liar who was using Satou to have some fun from what I remember) but that's it.

What made you curious about my take on NHK? What's your take on NHK?

>>68250
>What made you curious about my take on NHK?
youve read all these books on the chart so I thought you were knowlegable on the subject, so I asked you about NHK which I like. >What's your take on NHK?
I read the LN, the 'rebuild of NHK', watched the anime and read the manga. All I can say is either the LN, the rebuild or the anime or the manga: non made a good ending. it needs more. the story doesn't look finished to me.

>>68251
I could say the same as you did. To me the story of Satou should go beyond the ending of the anime (I can only remember the ending of the anime at this moment), where he finally gets a job, since as a neet I think that he would have a lot of hardships trying to readapt himself to what would be called a "normal life".
Actually I didn't read all the books in the chart, but I've read some of them and a lot more since I'm really interested in literature.

Besides NHK, have you read other books?

>>68253
>Besides NHK, have you read other books?
yes, I've read the metamorphosis, the castle and america by kafka, blade runner, dune, the black company, the great meaulnes, I don't remember the orther books. I didn't read that much books (more manga tho)

>>68251
Did you not get the ending?
I mean it's one of the best ending in anime I have seen .
I recommend you to watch the last 3 eps again but this time do it at 3AM .
NHK is one of the fav and best anime I have even seen and the ending is great too . You just have to get the point which it end link that

volcel destroys all temptresses, even the 2d kind, he walks around naked to show off what a wizchad he is, and that is why he has to keep his sword between his muscular buns

>>63915
why the hell can't I download it, or anything else from github? I get NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

I can already do that with my imagination. You can see images in your mind, right wizzie?

I found a board in an alt chan dedicated to the same idea. They are obbsesed with emmy the robot. Some of them want tesla to create something similar. The should know Elon Musk is a cia agent and a nsa asset. That guy would be nothing without subventions.

A couple times I went and walked on the side of a highway where I live, no sidewalks here. I don't do it anymore because there isn't much to see and nowhere to really go.

>>65639
is it common for people to walk there where there is no sidewalk? it would make me anxious standing out like that as a pedestrian, besides all the ruckus and danger that come with sharing the road with speeding drivers

it's something i have come to hate: when you step out of urban areas you've got towns that are a few miles apart, but it's practically impossible to just walk there. sometimes there are dedicated bicycle lanes and pathways and that's it.
but nobody cares since it's so commonly accepted. this is what makes rural life so repulsive to me. every little town or hamlet is like a small island

I have started rucking. 8km / 5 miles with a 20kg/ 44lbs backpack, 2 times a week.

I don't recommend doing this if you've been sedentary for a long time. It's good to work on your leg strenght, flexibility, and back strenght before starting this.

>>65308
Me too but I also have akathisia from Vraylar. Too bad it's the only med that truly helps me

Walking in nature indeed is nice, it is one of the few activities that give me joy. Even better when there is nobody around and I am in solitude with my thoughts.
