Midnight Pals: Bluebeard

Anna Biller: Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this the tale of bluebeard's castle Biller: it's about a woman trapped at a secluded castle under the thumb of a mysterious and dangerous nobleman with dark family secerts Biller: but with a feminist twist Biller: the twist is gender essentialism

Angela Carter: that's hardly feminist, anna Carter: now, when i retold bluebeard- Biller: oh you say that now angela Biller: but i got a secret weapon no woman can resist Biller: detailed lists of luxury fashion brands

Biller: did i mention this lady has a prada hat, a valentino dress, and dior boots? Biller: chanel, armani, versace Biller: those names won't mean anything to you men Biller: but to us ladies Biller: oh damn phewww is it hot in here or is it just me?

Biller: in fact, girls, i feel the sudden need... Biller: to go SHOPPING!!! Tabitha King: shopping!!!?! Sonia Greene: eeeee!! shopping!??!! Angela Carter: shopping!?!? Biller: we're all going to the mall!!!!

Patricia Highsmith: ugh pass Biller: what's the matter, patricia? no interest in a girls night out? Biller: i think Biller: someone needs a make-over!!!

Mary Shelley: sup fuckers Shelley: what's this, you tellin a gothic story? Biller: what? it's not gothic! Biller: it's simply a novel that makes use of class story telling techniques of brooding fear, isolation, and dark secrets Biller: and if you think that makes it gothic Biller: well i just don't know WHAT to tell you

Shelley: so it's not a gothic story? Biller: no it simply makes use of classic techniques Shelley: is this like how the love witch wasn't a pastiche Biller: IT'S NOT A FUCKIN PASTICHE Shelley: it's a pastiche Biller: SHUT UP!! Biller: whatever happened to sister solidarity!?

Biller: now my work asks, why do women stay with abusive men? Angela Carter: interesting Biller: could it be because it's kinda hot? Carter: Carter: uhhh

Angela Carter: but anna! what about feminism?! Biller: don't criticize me! Biller: i did it for YOU, all for you!! Biller: sure, your guilty feminist conscience may force you to dote on sensitive new age guys but you know deep down you secretly long for a hot-tempered he-man to slap you around, pull your hair, and rule you like a king!!!

Edward Lee: bro Lee: bro Lee: i'm gonna tame this filly Barker: yeah good luck with that Lee: naw naw it's cool Lee: i like em spicy

Lee: yeah babe i getcha, i hear the love witch was a pastiche Biller: IT'S NOT A PASTICHE Lee: yeah it's a pastiche Biller: IT'S NOT A FUCKIN PASTICHE!!! Lee: [to Barker] this is called negging, bro, works every time

Biller: UGH YOU MEN Biller: you're all the same!! Biller: arrogant! bull-headed! Biller: god why can't i quit you?!?

Fifty years ago today, the former Tabitha Spruce was proven right

As Stephen King himself has recounted, he had thrown out his first draft of Carrie, but his wife Tabitha dug it out and cleaned it off. She saw the potential in it, and encouraged him to work on it again.

I don't know anything about being a teenage girl or having a period, he protested.

I do, she countered.

Carrie hit the shelves fifty years ago. At the risk of understatement, he made quite a name for himself.

April 5, 1974 - April 5, 2024: Happy 50th Anniversary CARRIE!

I was 12 years old when I came across a strange paperback with a girl with two faces on it, one in light, one in darkness. I opened it to see the words CARRIE by Stephen King and what looked like a town on fire. Well, like most people I was instantly addicted to Stephen King, and when I was 14 I would read the IT paperback and that to this day is still my very favorite book by King.

We all probably know the stories about Carrie, but some are worth repeating. His awesome wife Tabitha fished the Carrie manuscript out of the garage, telling Steve to just hold on, you really have something here. So bless you too Tabitha, you had faith in your husband when he was ready to give up. When De Palma’s incredible 1976 film adaptation came out, it made Stephen King a household name.

And his output during the 70s and 80s is just legendary. I still enjoy a lot of his recent work, but those first two decades were fucking crazy. IT in 1986 would become the number 1 bestselling book of the year and everybody (including Donnie Darko) was reading that damn paperback.

King originally wrote Carrie as a novella but then later tweaked it out in an epistolary style, which he really enjoyed doing.

Some say she’s a victim, others believe she’s a villain, but to me “Creepy Carrie” will always be a hero, who finally comes to terms with herself and does the ultimate radical act: she accepts herself.

FUCK YES.

No offense to Stephen King, but I don’t want writing tips from someone who spent the majority of his kids’ childhoods using drugs and alcohol to the point that he can’t even remember some of the writing he did during that time.

Give me tips from Tabitha King, who kept what would become her husband’s first bestseller from the trash and helped him with the perspective that he couldn’t figure out, who had three kids she was raising while her husband had a drinking problem and cocaine addiction, who wrote books while she still had young kids, whose story continues to take a backseat.

I can use Tabitha King’s advice, not her husband’s.

#anyway #that’s why I still haven’t read On Writing #it was a gift #and now it’s gathering dust #tabitha #tabitha king #stephen king #on writing #carrie #carrie white #horror #tw #alcohol #alcohlism #tw drugs #drug abuse

Midnight Pals: Cyclical Time

[at unicorn fuck club] Robert Jordan: thus as the wheel of time turns, so pass the ages of man! Jordan: a new epoch of magic and mystery settles upon the land! Jordan: it was an age of the distant past Jordan: and an age yet to come! Tolkien: wait a second Tolkien: which was it

Jordan: the gleeman vish taral’bid came to seek the blessing of ai’shidoo Tolkien: you’re dropping names like we should be familiar with them Jordan: you should be, we’ve been over this before Tolkien: we have? Jordan: in an age of the distant past Jordan: and an age yet to come

Jordan: it’s an epic tale of good & evil just like your lord of the rings Jordan: but the selling point here is that time is cyclical Tolkien: oh that’s interesting, i thought time was linear Jordan: oh no not at all Jordan: first you have to understand that space time is curved

Jordan: so nineva al’uvyf is all “oh you menfolk with yer dillying and your dallying! Guess it’s up to us womenfolk to fix this!” Jordan: “what’s that there? mud on the floor? ooo and i suppose you menfolk expect us womenfolk to clean that up mm? Just like you menfolk!”

Jordan: just imagine every woman in this world is that one really annoying Irish chick in Star Trek the Next Generation

Jordan: of course men channel saidin for dude magic Jordan: which is stronger, like how a dude is stronger than a lady Jordan: but the lady magic of ladies? well that‘s better for working together Jordan: the real magic is friendship

Jordan: let me tell you Jordan: women, huh? Jordan: who can understand them? Jordan: bitches be chanelin’ saidar

Jordan: so perin was on an epic quest to the desert of yarbalno GRR Martin: how smooth are the skirts? Jordan: oh actually they’re kinda wrinkled Jordan: better smooth ‘em out Jordan: thanks for reminding me! Jordan: wait a second Jordan: are you making fun of me!?

Jordan: you know if that’s how you’re gonna be, I’m just gonna go over to midnight society! Tolkien: you can’t do that, robert! You’re not telling a horror story! Jordan: well, there’s a dark one, that’s pretty spooky Jordan: you know what, just SHUT UP

[at midnight society] Jordan: anyway that’s when i came over here Barker: so how smooth are the skirts

Edward Lee: bro i don’t like to brag but Lee: i been to tar valon Lee: if you know what i mean Koontz: i don’t know what you mean Angela Carter: get off it, you have not been Carter: you wouldn’t be able to find it Tabitha King: oh ho ho! Zing! Patricia Highsmith: i’ve been

Robert Jordan: Braids -- tugged. Jordan: Skirts -- smoothed. Jordan: Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

[at unicorn fuck club] Robert Jordan: thus as the wheel of time turns, so pass the ages of man! Jordan: it was an age of the distant past Jordan: and an age yet to come! Tolkien: wait a second Tolkien: Tolkien: whoa, déjà vu

god whoever casted caitlin fitzgerald (5’10) to play tabitha hayes, the girlfriend of known short king roman roy (5’6), deserves one million dollars every day forever. roman might be gay but a considerably taller girlfriend is exactly what he needs if im honest

#the shorter the king the taller the crown #and whatnot #i love you tabitha #s4 has been universal Ls for everyone….. and tabitha isn’t there…… coincidence? #succession #succession hbo #roman roy #tabitha hayes #tabitha succession #coveredinsunposting
