Hey now, let's be clear. Stephen King did not have the clown defeated by a bunch of outcast youths gangbanging in a sewer. That's just patently incorrect. Every single part. No, he had the ancient terror disguised as a clown temporarily banished by summoning an ancient turtle from the dawn of time and engaging It in a battle of wills. Completely different and, in fact, perfectly reasonable. Anyone that's actually read the book knows the outcast youth sewer gangbang happens after that and actually has no bearing on the plot whatsoever. Stephen King's not some freak writing a book where the entire plot hinges on a bunch of traumatized kids screwing each other to save the world, no; he's a perfectly normal guy writing about a bunch of traumatized kids screwing each other for no reason at all. Bet you feel real silly now, huh?
What the fuck are you on about? Nothing you said is remotely true, this is a gross misinterpretation of the events depicted in the book.
It's not a gangbang, it's a train. They go one after the other.
I thought that in order to be a train they should be connected to each other.
That's a centipede
There is an old painting about this. Tho they are adults.
(Tuhfet Ul-Mulk by Shayk Al-Misri, 1773)
(This is illustrated version of the Turkish translation from 1400s and there is an older, Arabic version from 1300s according to carbon-dating)
How the hell is that related? Those lads were merely showing a circle can be made with numerous stiff rods, a precursor to calculus. It has nothing to do with ancient terrors, god-like turtles or traumatized children having a gangbang in a sewer after killing what they thought was a supernatural clown. For shame!
What's a clown master time-pilgrim? Is it in likeness of a jester?
Edit: Wait nvm just read wikipedia page on clowns they go WAY back. And used to be religious?
Have you ever seen BigTop Burger?
Surprised nobody's volunteered to write the English caption yet.
One might say, they couldn't be arsed.
That's the "train position" you're referring to. It's different from "running a train".
Why? I don't know.
The latter comes with a stripey hat and a steam whistle.
And this was the stuff he got published. I’d dread to read his drafts and unreleased material from that era.
Was there not some time traveling component? Like their future selves had to find each other again and come back ti their childhoods. I thought that was what made the "children having sex" part not as triggering as it sounds,because they were actually adults. Mind you, it's been years since I read the book. I might be misremembering things.
So ... adult-minds having sex with children's bodies?
That makes it worse!
"They're actually 900 years old" or something
Ah, the classic anime workaround.
"Nigomichisichason is technically 1000 years old so when I jerk it to Rule 34 fan art, I'm not actually jerking it to anime of a kid even though she looks and acts exactly like one"
Well if that's in there, 12 year old me definitely missed it.
No, it is even more bizarre. They have sex because the group is lost in the sewer and apparently this makes them know where they are, somehow, so they can leave, which they then do. It adds literally nothing to the plot, apart from really shoddy symbolism of growing up.
Sounds like sense8 but your kid self hitches a ride or something. What the what Stephen
I remember it being for the need to destroy their innocence or something
It was actually closer to needing to restore the power of friendship
Couldn't they just like... go minigolfing or something?
No minigolf in Derry, or laser tag
Is this a copypasta
not currently
My ex went on to get a PhD in English with Stephen king as a specific area of interest and I'm glad I don't know exactly the email to send what you said, well it would be super awkward and probably misunderstood
