ALTA wonderful, long-time friend of mine passed away too young last year and this was his favorite quote, from Twin Peaks. Don't forget to give yourself a little present today.
The journey and powers of Khione actually mirror those of the Phoenix Force and Jean Grey. In this essay I will…
Nothing against Chester, I love Chester, but can you imagine this moment if it was Cisco?
this poor fucking bird:
And you may tell yourself, “this is not my beautiful nest”
And you may tell yourself, “this is not my beautiful mate”

What’s not apparent from the Dashcon photographs is that the ball pit was more than eight hundred feet deep.
Storytime!
Back in high school, I was already a big Stephen King fan. My parents enrolled me in the Stephen King Library, which got me all his hardcovers as they came out, and an older book in HC once every two months or whatever. I miss it…but I digress.
For most of my HS years, I got the yearly Stephen King calendar to hang on my bedroom door. One year, there was a picture of Tim Curry’s Pennywise. IIRC, it was of him standing near the entrace to the sewers, holding balloons.
Except there was a…problem. Hanging on my door, and the way I slept at the time, I basically was staring RIGHT at this image of a horror movie clown *all night long*. With the dim, murky light from a nightlight in the bathroom skulking down the hallway and very dimly lighting it up. It was JUST enough to make it clear what the image was.
For that *entire month* I had to switch to the previous or next month, because this was all JUST unsettling enough that there was no way to get to sleep staring at that image as it was literally staring back at me, no matter how much I intellectually knew it was Tim Curry, in a movie, of a completely fictional entity. I don’t even find Pennywise that scary! But talk about all the right elements.
“Hiya, Georgie! Aren’t you gonna say hello? Ohhh. Come on, bucko. Don’t you want a... balloon?” | “I’m not supposed to take stuff from strangers. My dad said so.” | “Very wise of your dad, Georgie. Very wise indeed... I, Georgie, am Pennywise the Dancing Clown! You are Georgie! So, now we know each other! Correct?” | “I guess so. I gotta go.” | “Go, without this?” | “My boat!” | “Exactly! Go on, kiddo... Take it. Ohhh... You want it, don’t you, Georgie? Oh, of course you do... and there’s cotton candy, and rides, and all sorts of surprises down here... and balloons too... All colors.” | “Do they float? ” |Oh, yes... They float, Georgie... They float... and when you’re down here with me... YOU FLOAT TOO!“It (1990)
