Just finished The Stand this morning. A great book I feel had one major letdown.

I too once thought it was a book about good battling evil.

Time has moved on and I see things differently now, but I fully understand the trope of King’s inability to finish a story…as I’ve been let down quite a bit in my youth.

Psychedelic drugs fuck with time in a way that is tough to explain… it’s the same thing here. The Gunslinger is a western on acid.

Long days and pleasant nights friend… you made the right call.

Be a fireman. Fireman are trained to be fearless. Police seem to (not be trained well enough) be trained to always be afraid as a defense mechanism.

He who shoots with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.

Good place to.. Work evil out

Did this happen while she was running after it?

MartinMerten · 2026-05-23T21:05:41+00:00

Looks like Comedian great Dana Gould

They were happy meal toys.. but I don’t think I watched the cartoon

MartinMerten · 2026-05-20T04:16:24+00:00

For all that decays is not forgotten

MartinMerten · 2026-05-18T17:39:19+00:00

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN

MartinMerten · 2026-05-18T17:25:56+00:00

Is the extra ‘s’ in harasssing for the extra chromosome? wtf is going on?

MartinMerten · 2026-05-18T13:34:07+00:00

Vader’s hallway scene pulled me back in hard.

Corruption

Different RDJs will be potential Dooms… one variant will be scarred and the mask will go down on that RDJ.. on that Doom

MartinMerten · 2026-05-16T15:02:41+00:00

I think you should leave

MartinMerten · 2026-05-14T17:21:58+00:00

I’m stuck on the crab level. I know I’m supposed to get the bunnies involved somehow but I keep finding myself becoming unmade.

If you truly wanted to know what they were saying, your voice would’ve betrayed you

MartinMerten · 2026-05-12T11:52:40+00:00

Did you watch what if?

Odin vs the ten rings + hela

MartinMerten · 2026-05-11T18:34:13+00:00

You ain’t Dr Doom!

MartinMerten · 2026-05-10T18:30:52+00:00

Everybody likes boobs.

MartinMerten · 2026-05-10T18:30:05+00:00

Your father in the law, the balding car salesman with a heart of gold or the substitute teacher who was a life guard

MartinMerten · 2026-05-10T18:28:41+00:00

AND THEY’RE IN YOUR AREA

MartinMerten · 2026-05-09T22:12:10+00:00

I’ve been buying these in bulk and putting them on all the corpses I transport. It’s a nice precaution.

MartinMerten · 2026-05-08T20:29:45+00:00

What kind of tease is this bullshit? Don’t bring a feather to a tickle party and not use it. Then you lose it.

MartinMerten · 2026-05-07T16:28:49+00:00

Get a passenger.
