Why am I a fucking dumbass. Like genuinely

#okay waiting until almost one in the morning to go to bed was already a stupid decision when i know my body wakes me up routinely at 8 #or before. and being on my phone until right before bed was also fucking dumb #especially as i was blasting videos directly into my frontal lobe #but then. even STUPIDER. i decided ‘oh i’ll read a couple of chapters of my book before bed’ #what am i reading? the outsider by stephen king. what is it? a fucking HORROR NOVEL #in my defence the first half was pretty much a straightforward mystery with just some slight weird shit #it’s only when the detective (and everyone else really) starts to realise that something is Off that the supernatural shit starts to happen #i.e. two completely separate people ‘hallucinating’ the same creepy bastard #so tell me why i pick this book up thinking ‘oh what a great nightcap’. and the kicker is that just from the first paragraph of the chapter #i was at; i somehow KNEW some shit was going to go down. i was like ‘this feels like the turning point. this man is about to have a very bad #time’. SO WHY DID I KEEP READING #i probably would’ve been fine during the day but at one in the morning……. i then had to turn my fucking mood lighting on #bc i was creeped out by the darkness. and i’ve lost the remote for my mood lighting somehow….. so it was sitting at blue light #and the brightest possible setting. fine. still fairly sleepable actually #it just didn’t do enough to assuage my fears so Then i had to read a romance novella #and when i say ‘read a romance novella’ i mean i read the whole romance novella. so that took me an hour #THEN at 2am there was a very loud downpour and THEN at 2:30 some bastard on a motorbike decided to tour the neighbourhood as loudly #as possible. and then my bladder was like ‘oh we’re awake? pee every hour’ #to summarise; i feel like absolute shit now #i’m hoping i will be able to take a nap this afternoon because this sucks #personal

Not to be boring but how do people pirate music and books without feeling like shit by stealing from people just as poor as them

#like seriously??? okay Stephen king and taylor swift won't care but most writers and singers are poor????? #i have no problems in pirating shows because i know everyone making them got already paid and the only one losing money are rich #the idea of stealing from a writer who needs patreon to pay rent and a group that did a tour even if they lost as much as they made with #the new album is disgusting to me

La Tour sombre, Stephen King

J'ai lu cet été la série des sept tomes de La Tour sombre.

Je dois dire que j'ai eu du mal avec le premier tome, que j'ai d'ailleurs pris super longtemps à finir à cause de cela, alors que c'est sans doute le plus court. Je crois qu'il était un peu trop vague pour mes goûts. Le scénario, les personnages et leurs buts étaient un peu trop abstraits pour moi, et je ne comprenais pas quel était censé être le thème de l'histoire, où l'auteur voulait en venir. La fin a réussi à m'émouvoir cela dit, bien que je n'ai pas trop compris pourquoi Jake devait mourir.

Dès le second tome, cependant, l'histoire est devenue plus discernable et compréhensible, et j'ai dévoré les six restants. Il y a un côté mystérieux qui s'entremêle au réalisme de l'histoire, et observer la rencontre entre Roland et notre monde moderne, la rencontre entre ce personnage presque mythique et des gens de notre réalité, est fascinant. Les situations dans lesquelles nos héros se retrouvent sont méticuleusement détaillées, si bien qu'on se sent captivé, comme connecté à l'histoire se déroulant sous nos yeux et capable de visualiser et ressentir exactement ce qui la sied. C'est un peu ainsi que j'aimerais écrire plus tard : de la fantaisie qui prend forme pour les lecteurs. Je crois que le passage où je l'ai ressenti le mieux est celui dans le troisième tome avec Jake qui vit entre deux mondes, marchant dans le nôtre, mais son esprit toujours connecté à celui de Roland, ressentant des forces le dépassant. Est-ce possible de tomber amoureuse d'un récit ?

Le quatrième tome était en réalité un immense flash-back sur la jeunesse de Roland, mais pas moins intéressant. On sait déjà comment ça va finir, bien sûr – le premier tome nous disait déjà que son amoureuse Susan allait mourir brûlée vive, bien que le contexte dans lequel cela arrive soit différent que ce que nous montrait le flash-back du premier tome. On passe donc le tome à observer avec fascination comment la vie des personnages et du village tourne au vinaigre et la situation dégénère, sous un sentiment de fatalité imminente et implacable. L'autre partie de ce tome, où les personnages évoluent dans une version alternative de l'Amérique dévastée par une maladie monstrueuse, me paraissait un peu sortie de nulle part au début, mais il semblerait que ce soit l'objet d'un autre roman de Stephen King ! Je le lirai sans aucun doute.

Après, je dois dire que le passage de la grossesse de Susannah ne m'a pas beaucoup intéressée, mais les histoires de grossesse n'ont jamais été mon type de scénario. En revanche, le côté délirant des personnages allant à la rencontre de leur auteur, Stephen King lui-même, pour s’assurer qu���il finisse d'écrire leur histoire, et devant même lui sauver la vie pour soutenir l'existence du monde, de tous les mondes, c'était du génie. Et puis, je ne peux toujours pas croire que des vifs d'or (vifs d'argent) tout droit sortis de Harry Potter sont utilisés comme armes par certains ennemis, Harry Potter étant d'ailleurs mentionné dans l’œuvre.

Le septième tome était bien complet, je dois le dire. Chaque personnage voyait son histoire se finir, chaque « quête secondaire » s'achever. Mais bon, je suis désolée, mais l'auteur a quand même massacré ses méchants principaux. Je veux dire :

l'homme en noir, présenté comme un sorcier surpuissant pouvant apparemment changer d'apparence, presque un démon, immortel ou presque, une entité plus qu'un humain... se fait tuer lamentablement par un bébé humain-araignée. Sans même pouvoir se défendre. J'espérais quand même un peu plus de lui. J'ai l'impression qu'il n'y a même pas eu de vraie confrontation entre lui et Roland et son groupe.

Mordred, c'est encore pire. Il nous est présenté comme un véritable démon, né pour tuer Roland et aider le Roi Cramoisi à plonger le monde dans les Ténèbres, un être exceptionnel à la conception compliquée... et il ne fait rien de tout le tome (à part tuer l'homme en noir). On aurait pu penser qu'un être doué de pouvoirs psychiques si puissants qu'il n'a fait qu'une bouchée de ce dernier s'en servirait contre Roland et son groupe, et serait un grand danger, comme annoncé, mais même pas. Il se contente de mourir lentement de froid et d'empoisonnement, puis se fait tuer définitivement par quelques balles. Est-ce que ce personnage valait-il vraiment la peine d'être créé ?

Le Roi Cramoisi. Un roi démon, la représentation du mal, Satan... Après tout ce temps à agir dans l'ombre, à faire planer son ombre sur l'intrigue et nos héros, il se révèle être au final un adversaire peu intéressant, dernier obstacle devant la Tour. Où sont passés tous ses terribles pouvoirs ? Et je ne parle même pas de la manière dont il se retrouve vaincu : quelques chapitres plus tôt, nos héros découvrent comme par hasard un personnage ayant la capacité d'altérer la réalité en dessinant, et il l'efface de l'histoire, littéralement. Ça sortait quand même assez de nulle part.

En fait, ce qui était davantage intéressant dans cet ultime tome est de contempler la dissolution progressive et inexorable du groupe de Roland. La mort d'Eddie était visible à quinze kilomètres, sous-entendue dès le sixième tome (quoique dès le deuxième, je crois, il était clairement sous-entendu que leur groupe trouverait une fin funeste). Jake... après Eddie, on pouvait s'y attendre. Un peu brutal tout de même. Qu'il connaisse le même sort que ce qui avait été originellement sa mort lui va bien, ainsi que le symbole de sa mort comme un sacrifice pour sauver Stephen King. Et celle d'Ote m'a littéralement fait fondre en larmes. Susannah a eu la bonne idée de se tirer avant que ne vienne son tour. J'aime le fait qu'elle se retrouve dans une version alternative de son monde, avec une version alternative d'Eddie et Jake. Elle retrouve quelque chose, sans altérer le poids et la puissance de la perte de ces derniers.

Concernant la révélation du tout dernier chapitre... la découverte que l'histoire tourne en rond... A vrai dire, j'étais déjà au courant. Quand j'étais petite, ma mère avait lu cette histoire, vingt ans avant moi, et l'avait une fois mentionné ; je ne l'avais pas oublié. Une fin qui convient au personnage de Roland, et qui permet de garder la nature de la tour et de son sommet mystérieuse.

Pour ceux qui connaissent, je trouve qu'il y a un petit côté Kingdom Hearts assez plaisant dans cette histoire : le cœur de tous les mondes convoité par les antagonistes, des clés et des portes, les Ténèbres entre les mondes regorgeant de créatures désireuses de les détruire, des couloirs sombres dans les souterrains d'un château ayant sombré dans les Ténèbres...

Mais pour finir, d'où sortaient les trois portes de la plage, menant à Eddie, Susannah et au tueur de Jake ? Étaient-elles une représentation des cartes tirées par l'homme en noir, donc un de ses sortilèges ? Ou nées du sacrifice de Jake à la fin du premier tome, suivant une loi obscure de la magie ?

Thank you so much ❤I was thinking that yn is Toms gf and is very loved by his fans as well, but also because she's a book author and tries her best to stay put of the spotlight("my books speak for me") and let Tom shine. Her aura is just super mesmerizing. I was thinking she could be a horror author( like the love child of Stephen King and Anne Rice) and Tom is her #1 fan. What do you think?

some extremely funny things abt the discord q&a

patrick "randomly picked up" rick remender's the sacrifcers, seemingly unaware that his bandmate is literally writing a comic book (holy roller) with rick remender rn

joe gives one book recommendation (the glassy burning floor) while patrick and pete go off listing various titles they've picked up. pete recommends the three body problem but doesn't mention if he actually read the book, just says he watched the tv show. andy just says "my favorite book series is the dark tower by stephen king" END of question. love that guy

when asked who they'd like to tour with, alive or dead, patrick joe AND pete all make the same joke about how they'd like to tour with the alive band because they don't want to dig up the dead. i hate them.

question is "whats the moment you feel like you made it" and patricks like well i think when i realized people weren't leaving during saturday it felt like we made it. andys like the first time we signed to a major label it felt like we made it. joes like well during warped tour after sugar was released it felt like we made it. and petes like when we played metro and my mom whacked a giant inflatable dildo out of her face. okay pete

patrick wanted the original jacket from dance dance SO BAD but they wouldnt let him keep it no matter how much money they offered for it. for the arm's race video they had to make a knockoff

the guitar patrick uses in the saturday mv was one that joe essentially bought for him w the last of his bar mitzvah money and patrick LOVED it. and then in the saturday mv joe just absolutely destroyed it. but patrick kept a piece of it cause he loved it that much :')

pete still has franklin from the infinity on high cover but has said he's ended up in the pool before. also his cat beats him up.

joe got some custom molded vampire teeth for the sixteen candles video that never got used in the video proper, but he still has them!

petes dream collab is kid cudi. patrick is just happy to be here and likes collaborating with cool people. joe likes collaborating with his band the most :)

andy would love to collaborate with trent reznor but doesn't see it happening. andy ilu but i agree ldkfjdlkjfd

#*making poasts #amazing how they set these four guys into four separate interviews and they sTILL only have one brain cell between em

Things of Note at @neil-gaiman ‘s NJPAC talk:

1. Do you people understand that he switches into accents when he reads? Do you people know he does a perfect Michael Sheen impression? did you know it’s also hot

2. He used to cold call publishers/mags to see if they’d publish his work. He’d lie when asked what other magazines he wrote for; they’d think he was more legitimate and would, therefore, be more likely to take him on themselves. “You couldn’t get away with that now” thanks to Google. Also, back then, “we had telephones and we used them,” but today’s publishers would not easily recover if you unexpectedly called them on the phone.

3. It was a personal point of pride for Neil to write for each of the magazines he’d claimed to have written for. He said “I didn’t lie. I was chronologically challenged.”

4. Neil made a deliberate effort to not be boxed in by publishers. He’d interviewed many authors who were unhappily boxed and did everything he could to avoid it, including declining big contracts from prestigious publishers (notably after American Gods). This is why he can write what he likes now. Comics writing spoiled him in this regard, as publishers mistook the medium for a genre, and therefore didn’t care what he wrote (so he wrote all the genres he wanted to in Sandman).

5. He hates Thomas Hardy thanks to being introduced to him in school. Regarding being forced to read Tess of the D’urbervilles, he said “I wouldn’t do that to a dog”. He hopes students, who might have liked him if they found him on their own, don’t encounter his work in school and hate him for it.

6. “The evil characters (you write) don’t possess you, you try to find the little bit of you in them….the little bit of you that is gloriously evil.”

7. “I touched the magic and passed it along” this was a line from Watching from the Shadows that especially moved me.

8. Terry was increasingly upset as the bidding on Good Omens increased (eventually reaching 150,000 - can’t remember if he said $ or £). For his part, when the book finally sold, Neil put on Iggy Pop’s Success and danced.

9. Anansi Boys should be out on Prime by the end of 2024!

10. Described Sandalphon as someone you want to “hit with a large oar”. (The woman next to me, who was extremely stingy with her applause, hooted like an owl at this and clapped til the last).

11. Pronounces Amazon as “Ama-zin” and Los Angeles as “Los Angelese”. This isn’t noteworthy, but I liked it enough to write it down.

12. “Being on a beach in bare feet” was the line that led Neil to realize David Tennant would be perfect for Crowley.

13. He is pictured on the ALA’s poster holding Wind in the Willows because, as a child, “it messed up my head.” He said he is “in love” with a chapter in the middle called The Piper at the Gates of Dawn where the characters meet Pan. It’s often left out of printings, which makes him sad because it is “strange, beautiful, luminous”.

14. TOATEOTL was originally planned to go to Broadway. Then, Covid. They did a “world tour” instead. Now that it’s wrapped, talks about Broadway are happening. He says all of adaptations of his work, this is his favorite.

15. “Disney’s Aladdin plays four times a day in Hell”

16. His favorite question of the night was “WHY did you think of the Other Mother?” He was tickled by the word choice of “why”

17. Asked the library in Sussex “What have you got in the way of really good horror for four year olds?” Obviously none existed so he wrote Coraline.

18. Talked about going viral for being in a falafel, seemed to marvel at the progression of the meme’s meaning.

19. “Tumblr is its own madness”

20. “Stephen King has fabulous stories about meeting fans in toilets, including being passed a book under the stall”

21. Read “The Day the Saucers Came” which I misheard initially as Sauces. Saucers is definitely better.

22. “You want to see me doing Dickens?” I laughed inappropriately at this. I was the only one.

23. I don’t want to say what pieces he read because I want you to buy tickets to his events. But it was very nice to be read to by Neil Gaiman.

It’s very worth it to go. I flew out from San Diego for this and would do it again in a heartbeat!

writing [love]; dream, a writer.

Dream: I like writing. I like writing poems; I like writing songs; I like writing everything. I like storytelling—I just like storytelling. Storytelling in general is fun. I do a lot of storytelling through, like, my videos, through my video editing ... that's my favourite part of writing.

Dream: So, it's [love is] special, you know? You can't really explain it. Um, you know, with your mum, your dad, your—your sisters, your brothers, your cousins, your—your friends that you've known since you were a kid. Your friends that you just met a year ago that you are absolutely in love with as a person.

Dream: 'Have you written stories as well as songs lately?' Yeah—I mean, well ... I feel like songwriting is very—it's like, you just take stories—like 'Roadtrip' was, like, essentially a poem, and a story, that was turned into a song. And I feel like that's with a lot of stuff. 'Mask' is the same; 'Mask' was a poem turned into a song.

Roles in stock productions include Maria in West Side Story, Julie in Carousel, Rosamund in The Robber Bridegroom. Judy is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and studies acting with John Stix.” – Playbill bio from The Mystery of Edwin Drood, April 1986.

NEW PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT: ALL POLLS HERE

"With the devastating elimination of Patti LuPone, Christine Baranski may well be our reigning *Diva* in the most literal sense of the word. Are you truly worthy of the title if you don't inspire drag egos? Go on, close your eyes right now and picture a living Broadway Diva. Baranski is going to be on that list every time."

"Four-time Tony loser Judy Kuhn is a sad sentence to type. But hey, at least she's in good company with Elaine Stritch. Judy doesn't need a fancy trophy to prove how talented she is. She's booked and busy, and aren't we glad for it?"

there’s so many ppl enabling me in the notes of this post, so here enjoy some Thoughts i’ve had about the nurseydex maine road trip so far:

they do a road trip up the coast of maine over fall break their senior year so that nursey can see acadia national park while the leaves are changing

william “acts of service” poindexter decides that it is his Responsibility as nursey’s captain and fellow d-man to become maine’s official tour guide barbie. he plans the entire thing out and even prints them little itineraries and maps and shit because this boy is nothing is not Efficient

nursey makes them stop to see every single lighthouse they go anywhere near just to be a little shit (there are 65 lighthouses in maine, this would take So Long even if you just stopped at like a quarter of them)

the only canonical reference i could find for any actual locations in maine in the comic is that dex said his uncle who owned the lobster fishing boat he worked on over the summers lived in portland

(a side note to the above, i find this hilarious. portland is an pretty solidly liberal urban city - imagine a very small boston - and not somewhere you’re very likely to find small family-owned lobster fishing boats, at least in my experience. it would make way more sense for his uncle to live somewhere like rockland but i digress)

dex is 100% positive that nursey would Love portland so he carves out two whole days of their trip for them to stay with his uncle and explore. they go to the art museum and old port and the port head lighthouse and the top of the world lookout at fort sumner park and all the little shops and hidden places dex had found from living there every summer for years

nursey does end up loving portland but it might be more about the boy that shows it to him

even though his uncle lives in portland, i am still personally convinced that dex’s family mostly lives around the rockland area. i will go on a rant about nursey meeting dex’s close family another time, but while they’re in rockland, nursey continues his dedication to seeing all the lighthouses he can by forcing dex to make the almost mile long trek out to the breakwater lighthouse with him (don’t think about them standing alone next to this little building almost a mile out from land. the wind is chilly and strong and it makes dex’s hair look ridiculous and his cheeks flush and nursey definitely doesn’t want to kiss him ITS FINE ITS CHILL)

dex has them make a detour up to bangor and surprises nursey with going to see stephen king’s house. he doesnt understand why people are interested in looking at some dudes house At All but he does know nursey would love it so he does it anyways. the fence is cool and nursey gets so excited he almost face plants jumping out of the car, so dex counts it as a success

some random places i feel like dex would make them stop at along the way: freeport (nursey is both so confused and so delighted by just Everything about that place, but he loses his mind over the mcdonald’s and the ll bean outlet), ogunquit (dex purposefully takes highway 1 instead of the maine turnpike going towards portland so that they drive through ogunquit and he can see nursey’s face when he realizes they’re driving through the single gayest town he’s ever seen in his life and it’s in southern maine), moose point state park (there are a billion lil state parks in maine but i just randomly like this one in particular idk i think it’s cute), camden hills state park (it’s too foggy when they get there to drive up to the top so nursey makes them go on a hike instead so they didn’t “waste their time.” they get lost within like 10 minutes and are wet from the fog by the time they make it back to the car like 2 hours later), the desert of maine (it’s kinda boring to dex bc he’s seen it a dozen times since he was a kid, but nursey gets enthralled by the science behind it so it’s worth it), cushing (this is where the famous painter andrew wyeth lived at the olson house and was the subject of a lot of his work and i just feel like nursey would have fun seeing this place)

when they eventually make it to acadia, nursey ends up spending like two solid hours just sitting at sargent peak staring out over everything and desperately scrawling out lines of poetry into his notebook (dex spends most of those 2 hours staring at nursey but somehow doesn’t notice that nursey definitely isn’t writing about the scenery)

#im thinking about legitimately writing this out but hoo boy it'd end up being so long #will anyone actually see this? no probably not but it was fun to get it out of my head lol #lmk if any of you want me to add pics of these places so you have reference for wtf im talking about without having to google everything #nurseydex #derek nurse #william poindexter #omgcp #nurseydex maine roadtrip au
