True love, like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring — once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome… except, of course, to those who share the kisses, who give and take the caresses while every sound and color of the world seems to deepen and brighten around them. As with any other strong drug, true first love is really only interesting to those who have become its prisoners. And, as is true of any other strong and addicting drug, true first love is dangerous.

Roland apologising to Eddie after Eddie saves their asses from Blaine for being shitty to him about his “foolishness” is very important to me

True to Blue, Pretty in Pink [Proxy Commander Deck]

Artist Credit: Vincent Chong

Ka's wheel is taking another turn! I absolutely love Vincent Chong's book covers for The Dark Tower: "The Drawing of the Three" and "Wizard and Glass", so I had to add them to my all-proxy mish-mash commander deck I am making!

We have The Drawing of the Three, a card that has you...draw 3! I just thought that was a funny little joke.

Maerlyn's Grapefruit is perfect here, representing the witch Rhea's obsession with spying on people through the Pink Bend of the Rainbow.

I just sat in a cafe weeping as I finished reading Wizard & Glass: the whole last half of that book fills your stomach with a pit that keeps growing and growing because you know what is coming, you've known since book one what is coming, and every beautiful moment those characters share takes place in front of a looming backdrop of the tragedy and pain you know is approaching with the urgency and violence of a speeding train with a death wish. Every time it seems to swerve away from the impending doom, another sick and greedy hands pulls them back onto the tracks towards it.

Goddamn

ALRIGHT GUNSLINGERS (derogatory) IT'S TIME TO WALK TO THE DARK TOWER AT THE CENTER OF ALL WORLDS!!

By my reckoning Roland's first steps toward the Tower are taken when he walks out of Gilead as a gunslinger towards Hambry in Mejis, whereupon he is given his task. Now, for reasons I will elaborate on in a later post, it is my firm belief that Castle Gilead, seat of the barony and center of New Canaan, is located in present-day Las Vegas. I have the boys making brief stops in Primm, Searchlight, Nipton, Phoenix, El Paso, and Austin (well, thereabouts) on the way,

Now, I actually had a few options in mind for Hambry: Texas City, Corpus Christi and Galveston. I ended up going with Texas City for the Galveston Vibes without it being on an island - this does not factor into the difference in mileage between Good Boy Mode and Bitch Boy Mode, but if you want to walk along yourself and choose Corpus Christi, the mileage for the leg there and the leg back will be slightly shorter.

So: Gilead to Hambry, by this rough reckoning, is 1585 miles on foot by Google Maps' accounting. 22 straight days on foot, assuming all you do is hike. Probably about the same amount of time by horse.

Since we do not have horses, we will be doing this on foot.

Pictured here: my month-old Palladium boots lol. These bad boys are supposed to last a long time, and I wear them almost every day, so theoretically they will be getting me AT LEAST to Jericho Hill!! We'll see. They did bruise my shins something fierce when I first started wearing them but they're very comfortable now.

I'll do updates every day as part of @yeehawgust this year, so hopefully by the end of August I'll be in Mejis... we'll see though!!

From King's enjoyment of using brands in his writing we can reasonably infer that Arthur Eld got his sword from the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid
