I love Stephen King. There's 800 pages of thrilling interpersonal drama intermingled with spooky poo poo, followed by two chapters where Steve realised the book needs to end somehow.


Don't forget a sprinkling of out of place weird and graphicly described sexual stuff.

You left a bone-in ham in my yard
And I'm like, leave it on the porch,
Just not in my azaleas.
And I'm intrigued, meet me at the park.

I read the book like 20 years ago, but iirc it was that the influence of IT was essentially causing them to lose their way and sort of drift apart both literally and metaphorically, and her idea was for them to strengthen their bonds by essentially having a tween gangbang. It's like King wanted there to be more tension during the escape and came up with both the most deranged problem and solution he could come up with

The intent seems pretty clear, they enter the sewers as children and leave as young adults, they can't escape the sewers until they have done something that marks a clear severance from childhood. The awakening of sexuality is pretty universal shorthand for this.

This could have been handled much less grossly by having Bev, y'know, kiss each of them, but King was on a lot of coke at the time, so restraint and tastefulness were distant mirages.

I have a giant drawer of cables dating back 20 years now, and recently I just needed a goddamn motherfucking micro usb cable and despite having collected a thousand of these loving things over the years, after spending an hour in The Drawer I still came up empty! gently caress these cables

Get good velcro ties, separately label each end of every cable. It feels super nice once you have it done.

I had a Sony tape deck adapter cable. You know, the one that's a 2.5mm stereo jack on one end and a cassette tape on the other that you put into your car's tape deck so you can play CDs from your discman? I had that for close to 30 years sitting in my cable bin. Then my son turned 16 and bought a used Camry that only came with a tape deck radio. The feeling of handing it over to him was indescribable.

We did this in our last apartment. Two days later we started a D&D campaign and busted out the omnidirectional conference mic and webcam....only to discover the AC adapter for it was one of the ones we threw out thinking it didn't go to anything.

The hoarders were right all along.

Let this be a lesson to you all. Always keep at least one of those obsolete cables when you clean up the stash. Sure you might have no VGA capable equipment now but who knows what the future may bring.

this is why I am super paranoid about using the Official Nintendo Switch™ Charger that came with my switch

there was like one unsubstantiated report of a fly-by-night dropshipped charger catching fire and also nothing else is nearly as fast

Okay, right, but what if -- I'm not saying now -- but like in the future -- maybe never but -- I might have a rekindled interest in retro-PC stuff and, gosh, I'll be kicking myself then, because I'll look back at this very moment and I'll say, I goddamn knew this would happen so I'd better... never ever... ever let them go...

I think that Trucks could be made into a great little thriller. Yes, Maximum Overdrive and all that, but if you read the story devoid of that context there's a lot there. King was a master at character work even fifty years ago.

when he was the ghost writer for the cocaine elemental that was within him?

You know, I always felt like Stephen King was rad, and what I felt resonated most was the panicky internal monologue of people undergoing immense stress - the unrelated intrusive thoughts, the repetitive phrases or songs, the building up of anxiety to a strong crescendo. I know other people are not into that at all, but I like it a lot.

Anyways, I also have the autism and starting reading at a young age, so ???

Yes he's a really good author and also he's amazing at coming up with so many ghosts and aliens and other things to just say ADDICTION. IM TALKING ABOUT ADDICTION. THIS NOVEL MAY BE ABOUT SOME INSANE poo poo BUT ITS ACTUALLY ABOUT ADDICTION AND FATHER ISSUES
