You know, I'm not English poetry expert, but I thought it has to have rhymes or at least sound smooth. Does he really considers this something worth putting online?

Sadly modern poetry is all around like that. Most free-form poems have redeeming qualities, but sadly, a lot do not, just like this. However, I will never bother reading past the first verse on a poem that starts with some insane line over "cheat items".

I mean we're all autistic over here but I'm not that autistic quite yet.
 
Modern free-verse has a similar quality to modern art - with some level of familiarity you can tell good from bad, and with taste you can reject the boring notions of hacks even more easily. The quality of the turn of phrase, as well as the rhythm of the grammar between the line breaks is very important, and with DeviantArt level writers like Narcissa there is no conception of this, they just throw in line breaks when they think it makes it look 'poetic', and double down on the one-dimensional themes and inane sentiment. At its best an abstract form poem will not be 'about' anything, and if it uses an idea as a springboard the gratification you feel from reading it will scarcely be about the concept of expression, but in the manner that it is delivered.

One telltale sign of a terrible poet is having zero control over their line length (normally measured in syllables). From Narco's poem:
while one girl
...
leaderboard justice now! separate categories now!

How the fuck do those two lines belong to the same poem?! I mean, if it was a dynamic poem with a purposeful rhythmic progression, or at least a couple well-defined sections... but nope, it's barely over ten lines long.

That's the sort of thing you'd expect from a ten-year-old writing a poem. Emo teenagers generally do better than that.

This is just written willy-nilly, with no attention or craft put into it, it's just whatever words come "unfiltered" straight out of Narcissa's "soul" because he probably thinks those are what poems "are" or "should be". There's two things wrong with this line of thinking: one that poems are not raw stone, they're finely crafted jewelry, where that strong raw material is worked and shaped extensively until it deserves to be put into print- second, that whatever it is that is coming pure and unfiltered straight from out of Narcissas's "soul" is necessarily pure and unfiltered shit because at the end of the day he is pure shit lmao

The first half of it almost looks as though it could have a metre, threatening to break into heroic couplet or some Tennysonian declamation. I would not be surprised if she based the first part on something and then gave up. The following mush and undeserved conclusion is a problem and makes me question why she chose poetry as her means of expression - is it because she can hide from criticism in the abstraction? It is not fashionable but I'd like to see her forced to write in regular form, or at length, as if you cannot write in the abstract and *must* write veiled autobiographies, at least use epic poetry which is a form friendly to such sentiment.

Because of what I was saying earlier: ignorant people think poetry is just putting words in verse, from "the bottom of your soul" and that's it. Many hipsters think that the more willy-nilly and the more haphazardly you do it, the more "poetic" it is, because it's soo spontaneous - which is largely to blame for the absolute joke that is poetry today (not all of it, just most).

I don't have to enunciate why this "ethics" is attractive to Narco or your average hipster, who are lazy, ignorant and talentless.

You probably just think you want to see it. If you do get your wish, you may grow to regret asking for it :lit:

We are safe though because Narco has never been known to put effort into anything except maybe learning to play video games (if that even counts as any amount of actual deliberate effort). The reason he writes "poetry" once or twice a year is exactly because it's the least amount of effort he can put into something that looks kinda creative and artsy. If he ever realizes that good poetry require as much effort as writing a chapter of a novel, he'll just drop it like it's a hot potato... or a 9-to-5 job.

Pretty much. Slam "poetry" and Rupi Kaur style drivel is considered deep these days. There's nothing wrong with free verse as a concept but nowadays it's mostly used as a crutch by lazy hipsters who want to feel like artists without even putting the bare minimum amount of effort into their work. Poetry and literature are largely dead these days.
 
Daily reminder that Shades of Grey is unironically considered "cult" in some circles 🤦‍♀️ I swear if I see someone tell me "I have read it before it was made famous by the movie", in a hipster way, I will not stop short of murder.

art is dead and narcissa killed it
 
Wow. Pretty ironic to put something like that on something no one wants to touch. Should've bought a radiation molecule instead.

How about a pendant of dimethylmercury? He fits the symptoms of slowly degrading mental capacity and lethargy, and you wouldn't want to come in contact with him even with gloves

Mercury is at least fun and fascinating to look at. Narco is a jumpscare someone might put in a clockwork orange style film to alter one's psychological/mental state.
His farts are probably as toxic as mercury poisoning though.
 
I recently went back to watch what is Low Tier God doing nowadays, after like 2 years... i mean, it was funny (LTG and his whole "mini universe") but narci is WAY more funnier: LTG is playing Smash Ultimate these days!.

Slap the "late" nonsense, sure but i didn't know about it, BUT CHECK THIS OUT...

793159


DID THIS HAPPEN YET!?...

And they are SO MUCH ALIKE!:

- They both hate TROLLS
- They both have these delusions of grandeur
- They both talk about the future and stupid nonsense like they are the only ones doing it

And NOW THEY BOTH PLAY SMASH ULTIMATE!...

anyways, i found this amusing at least.

LTG playing Smash Ultimate is nothing really new. You can complain about the "late" tag but that doesn't avoid that it's excessively late news. I doubt they'll ever actually play. LTG will either only play bottom-tier randos or pay piggies and Cosmo exclusively farms entry-level Elite Smash. As for both, all three qualifiers you mentioned are universal among lolcows. For instance, Chris Chan also hits all the check marks (including playing Smash Ultimate).

Although I do disagree with Cosmo being funnier. Cosmo is more pathetic, it's like watching a fly swat into a window until it dies or something. LTG genuinely gets furious and screams about inane things like another player winning or somebody calling him bad, which is much more amusing in my opinion.

Also why do you TYPE LIKE A FACEBOOK MOM?!...
 
I'm still catching up with LTG and i forgot the "pay piggies exclusive" thing... i bet narci would fight him but he won't. Also he's been "blacklisting" people. That wasn't there when i used to watch him.

At the same time i was wondering if i missed that, i'd hate to miss that kind of thing, including Chris Chan fighting them too.

Also why do you TYPE LIKE A FACEBOOK MOM?!...

I don't know what that means... but it sounds mean, mister!...
