Sex & Shenanigans

[UnquietDreams]

I've never read Firestarter. I honestly think the only Stephen king book I've read is the dark tower.

The Dark Tower as the first of the Dark Tower series? Or all of the series?

Wacha reading?

Unquiet Dreams: asking the important questions.

Edit: Caught it: Firestarter. One that does well, then missed sticking the landing at the end for me. And less said about George C. Scott, who I love, as a homicidal Native American in the 1984 version of the film the better... (Never saw the 2022 version.)

Was Drew Barrymore in that?

If you could draw how you see the year in your mind… what would it look like?

The series.

But what about doing the dishes?

When my ex cooked, I did the dishes. When I cooked...I did the dishes.

She tends to cook and I tend to clean, but we do what the other didn’t.

Absofuckinglutely. There is so much in cooking, as a service, as a care, as nostalgia. It is such a thing for me that I have written multiple fantasies of cooking for different people. I have an oft recurring dream about making breakfast for someone on here. Pancakes. I make fantastic pancakes.

I have a story written for Lit that is nothing but a cooking scene, and it is fucking erotic. It is, unfortunately, in a massive story I have finished but abandoned, but I may repurpose it.

 

[UnquietDreams]

Have you ever heard of the book On A Pale Horse by Piers Anthony?

Yes, Anthony at his least creepy.

 

[Silver_Arrow]

Yes, Anthony at his least creepy.

It's the only book of his I've read. How is his other writing creepy?

I regret that I have only one "love" reaction for this.

 

[BrendaBear]

I don't like Disney.

I certainly don’t now. They lost their mojo.

OMG! This is f-ing awesome!!!

He goes from slightly creepily sexualizing young girls to full pedophilia in Firefly, which involves an explicit relationship between an adult male and a child. I was a fan in junior high, because I didn't pay attention to most of the creepy, panty peeks and crap in the Xanth books, but I stopped reading after that one (and I didn't finish it. It apparently didn't improve.)

Guess I'll avoid it all then. Good thing I asked.

 

[UnquietDreams]

Was Drew Barrymore in that?

Yes, and David Keith as her dad.

 

[SWR101]

Yes, and David Keith as her dad.

It had to have been one of her first 5 roles

 

[UnquietDreams]

The series.

That is an impressive grind for your first King read. He ties it into a lot of his other works. Some of it is fantastic, some of it much less so. I hated the start of the ending, and I thought it a horrible Deus ex machina with an eraser at its worst, but the final ending was so perfect for me, I forgave him. Well, almost forgave him for Mordred and Oy...

Good god.. you are too sexy for words….

 

[UnquietDreams]

I forgive Disney a lot for Lilo and Stitch.

I know!

I absolutely love The Dark Tower series. It's a pretty sizable venture but it's so unique and rewarding. He mixes something like 6 different genres together.

OMG! That made me laugh soooo hard! Absofuckly brilliant!!!

Lilo and Stitch is one of my all time favorites.
