Thoughts on pic related? I find it weirdly interesting as an example of autofiction. Reading this after Taipei feels like it's her pushing the envelope of what Tao Lin did and in a much more interesting way, but I also see how it could be boring af. Still, out of the garbage island of Alt Lit, this one stands out to me. I also just have a thing for druggy human train wrecks which helps keep the interest.
LIVEBLOG by Megan Boyle
I like feeling a parallelism with Megan when I can manage synching my day with hers
If the Liveblog fandom chose a date for our own version of Bloomsday where we trace Megan's steps and literary lifestyle, when would be best?
Stop fucking shillposting for this hasbeen bitch.
/ourgirl/ made it, senpai
I guess March 17th? That's the first day of the Liveblog
I mean I posted cuz I like the book, you're entitled to hate it. Why don't you like it?
We will proudly Meganpost until you buy a signed edition of Liveblog
Has Mira?
Goddesses so favor the fairest feet
Like Megan Boyle's sweet tootsie meat
Guarded from creeps, she keeps her feet chaste
Shod in boots, leggings of lace
Podic fans phone from restricted
So literati got them evicted
Greedily she savors her funks
Dangling heels to trip thirsty lunks
As a grape so squished by her plod
Soles eclipsing sky and sun, awed
Scarce chance for pedal glances
Telepath to her socks by lucid trances
Trade crypto for clippings, not as a goof
Liquify, titrate, prepare for boof
Huffing Megan's goo, facefulls of socks
Crusty miasma's pickled lox
Allegiance to Megan, too true
Strong whistle's "Woo-woo!"
Without Megan's feet life's a grump
Eek at lesser lasses' acral frump
Waning images tax Tubercular
Arches circular spectacular
Queues wind with worshippers
Interlocutor interpreters
Regulars, secular orbiters
Curvatures fetching purchasers
Cellular molecular spores
Megan's nadirs broke all scores
Insurrecting Wikifeet wars
Banned by Foot Night Baltimores
She's pallid then florid
Toes torrid so sordid
Lurid orchids torpid
Euphoric scents wax and waft
Concentrated when unwashed
Fans beg for cakes sploshed
Yeh nigguh
Ever since they'd taken to top to tail sleeping, Rupi's feet taunted Megan's reeling insomnia, recalling sunny dunes or butterscotch ice cream, Megan imagined Rupi's skin toasting then buttering itself until glistening and silken, her toes' cleavages also always immaculate, like you'd expect in a spirit or paranormal's embodiment, like she never became dirty or like it couldn't adhere to her Indo-angelic flesh. The ambient moon and clock lights lit Rupi's slumbering feet a deep purple. But the trait upon which Megan's voracious fixation feasted most frequently was the mottled littoral edges of where Rupi's caramelized flesh faded feathery into her ghostly soles. Her sultry flesh tones were poured upon the rest of her body and dappled by a painterly Goddess, drawing those variegated edges that reminded Megan of the crust of a corner slice of blondies resting in a puddle of pale strawberry ice cream, roseate and alabaster and completely edible. You could definitely trace Goddess brushwork in Rupi's soles. Show me one atheist who could behold Rupi's soles and not immediately profess their faith in an aesthetic almighty.
Megan always wanted to bite the supple flesh of Rupi's slipper-dippers and bided most of her time with Rupi in disguised anticipation of the forthcoming permission for Megan to indulge.
Excerpts
That's some thin paper.
I think Megan's parents are my favorite Liveblog characters
Goodnight, Megheads
I'm surprised there are this many ppl genuinely into this book on lit. It's a nice feeling.
From a recent Liveblog thread:
On August 22nd, 2013, Megan was rounding the victory lap of Liveblog, and while I'm always sad to have run out of her material, I'm heartened by thinking she wins, she escapes, she survives and can at least write another day. In a sense I'm thankful too for the end of Liveblog, hoping a respite for Megan's abused body is imminent.
Ive been diggin thru her social media an YT and she seems to be doing good now and it makes me kinda happy. It's nice to see she got herself together and found sobriety. The shit she put herself thru after Liveblog is insane. Like amphetamine psychosis insane.
Everyone fixates on the pills but Megan's exercise routines deserve more credit and indicate she's not as far gone and lost as she might seem in other passages.
how bout the day she tried to kill herself
jesus those are fucking perfect
Is this in Liveblog?
nope, it ends just a couple months before
Poor thing, I wondered about this in her recent Believer Mag article:
>M2013: i just think people sound attention-seeking when they talk about suicidal thoughts. i already allude to mine too much. i feel like it’s obvious. that’s why it’s getting difficult to update. people who have attempted suicide aren’t seen in a very favorable light (and i need as much favorable light as i can get, haha!).
and why'd she do it? cuz zach g boned mira?
She'd binged on speed for like a couple weeks straight and the comedown was too harsh, so she decided to off herself
haha
How do you know this?
Reminder to all Megheads that August 23rd is intentionally left blank, so we are to imagine Megan's tomorrow with complete creative freedom. What do we wager she did? Her circadian rhythms were pretty wacky on the 22nd, waking at 4PM after the events of , so perhaps she rested, exercised, ate some healthy pure food and cared for herself, maybe reaching pivotal insights into her formative self during this late summer respite. Maybe there were shocking epiphanies, observations that had to be buried for later, being too much to process for one day. Maybe it was enough to have finally gotten there, to have reached a better foothold to stand herself upon and survey her past, present and future.
i love this photoshoot of Megan
AI portrait of this Megan pic
I wonder how Megan's creative process is affected by having cool friends and social circles surrounding you.
