Midnight Pals: Dark Tower (Patreon)

Stephen King: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the dark tower King: and here's the crazy thing, guys King: i'm telling this story King: but i'm also IN this story Barker: holy shit steve Barker: you just blew my motherfuckin mind

King: see, the real question is King: who's the REAL stephen king? King: the one telling the story King: or the one IN the story? Koontz: the one telling the story King: yes, dean, i know King: but as a thought experiment Koontz: you're the real one King: Barker: from the mouths of babes, huh? lol

King: see, what I'm saying is King: like, what does it mean for the concept of story that I'm here but I'm also in the story Mary Shelley: it means more john barth ass bullshit King: King: you know, mary, john barth doesn't have a monopoly on postmodernism Shelley: i said what i said

King: see, i'm here King: but i'm also in the story King: get it? Koontz: Poe: steve you're confusing dean King: no no i think he gets it Koontz: so you're not the real stephen king? Poe: he doesn't get it King: give him time edgar!

Koontz: wait so if you're real BUT you're also in the story King: yes? Koontz: then how do you know you're the real stephen king? King: haha oh dean of course i'm the real stephen king Koontz: what if you're also just a character in another story? King: oh dean you're so delightfully naive

Koontz: what if none of us are real Koontz: what if we're all just characters in a story?! Barker: haha sure dean we're all just "characters" in a "story" Barker: haha maybe we're all just "caricatures" in a "series" of "internet posts" Barker: haha that's our dean Barker: what an imagination!

Barker: like we're all just shallow caricatures reciting hollow catchphrases! ha ha Mary Shelley: sup fuckers Edward Lee: bro JK Rowling: hello children Roger Corman: its me roger corman, star of da bluesky thread Chuck Wendig: zoopity boopity! Patricia Highsmith: ain't nothing like a dame!
