    Yay!

    Gotta catch 'em all. Ain’t self-fulfilling prophecies grand? We get saddled with what are essentially debuffs for life, and as an added bonus we attract people who make all of them worse or even exploit them. And because we’re aware of this, it’s totally our own fault and responsibility to fix ourselves. If people keep taking advantage of us, well, that’s on ourselves for letting them!

    Why the fuck are we even born in the first place? As NPC’s for “real” people to have their way with?


  • I’ve been at the coping with substances stage for over two decades. Currently doing without. This is where people are supposed to say that finally things are starting to look up again and they can focus on rebuilding themselves… but in all honesty, I find life without my prior escapes drab, boring, completely devoid of meaning and of any type of hope of a better future.

    So back to substances or to the grave. Personally, I’m not too miffed about either option. I’ll get what I get, as I always have.


  • I’ve read probably 90% of everything he published.

    IT is definitely up there. I feel like a lot of the others were probably a lot more shocking at the time they came out, which was before my time.

    King’s grandest opus is the Dark Tower, especially the former half of the collection, but ALSO all the other books and stories that tie in with that universe (like Insomnia etc). I’m also an avid reader of his short stories, some of which are more bizarre and ‘special’ than his full feature works. Plenty of those have spawned decent movies or series in their own right (and some failed miserably, but not due to King’s writing).
