O U SLAY ME.

[tenel_ka]

And here is where I use the honorary River as Jacen as Kaidin icon because I just posted the wangsty-est chapter of fanfiction I've ever written -- again.

That one yeah. "I have no idea who you are! Let's bang! In the shower! Wait, maybe we shouldn't do this! Wait, you're --- omg! You're that hot chick from Hapes! Okay, seriously, we're banging now, whether you want to or not." -- "Oh hay, Jacen! Fancy meeting you here, bitch! ... GET OFF ME."

Oh Jacen and Tenel Ka. How I love thee. And your so many combinations of emo situations. It's fun to have Kaidin blame Tenel Ka for dropping Jacen off of Cloud City. Zekk and Gadell are also OTP fun. <3

I am rereading The Long Walk again for D*C purposes -- and I know I said he was awesome before, but I had forgotten how amazing Peter McVries was.



GOOD LAWD THIS BOY. He's just so damn real and one of my favorite parts in the book is when he's telling Ray about the scar and his ex-girlfriend who gave it to him, letter opener style.

"We left on June the third in my car, and we stopped once around three in the afternoon at a motel and got rid of the virginity problem. I felt like a real crook. She didn't really want to screw, but she wanted to please me. That was the Shady Nook Motel. When we were done I flushed that Trojan down the Shady Nook john and washed my mouth out with a Shady Nook paper cup. It was all very romantic, very ethereal."

...

"Sure I was unfair! I knew that. I wanted to make her feel like a greedy, self-centered little bitch because she was making me feel like a failure."

...

"She was crying. She asked me why I'd done that to her, hurt her like that. She said I had no right. There I was, Ray, with my face cut wide open and she's asking me why I hurt her. I left with the towel still on my face. I had twelve stitches and that's the story of my fabulous scar and aren't you happy?"



LOOOOOVE. I really hope Frank Darabont gets around to making The Long Walk into a movie like he says. He totally does Stephen King justice and I could see him really rocking the shit out of this movie. It will be on the level of Stand By Me, 1408 and The Green Mile. None of this Eli Roth Cell shit. Man, he's gonna screw that up so bad.


AND NOW, HERE ARE MY NEW COSTUME TO DO LISTS.



HANK OLSON (70): Then one of the other three guns went off. Garraty saw the flash at the end of the barrel quite clearly. He saw the jerky ripple of Olson's shirt as the bullet entered his belly and then punched out the back. ... Three more bullets pumped into him. (pg. 245)

Olson has bullets all over him by the time he's done -- and there's mention of other nastiness (insides and other walkers reactions and ughhh omg) but I won't go into detail. I think a few gunshots for him would be sufficient -- mostly in the gut, maybe one on the face or head somewhere. No mention of his clothes yet on my reread.


ART BAKER (3): Garraty put his hands over his face and had to bend over to keep walking. ... He hoped he wouldn't hear the shots. But he did. (pg. 364)

No mention of the placement of bullet holes. Garraty wouldn't look. I'm assuming the head -- since he went peacefully. Unlike Olson, who charged the Halftrack, hence the nasty gut-shots. To discourage the other boys from rebelling. Clothes-wise, I know Baker carries around a jacket or has it tied around his waist. Also:

Baker was up ahead -- he could tell it was him by the flapping red-striped shirt... (pg. 129)


PETER MCVRIES (61): McVries wouldn't even look at him. His eyes were shut. And suddenly two of the soldiers were wrenching McVries away from him. They were putting their guns to McVries's head. (pg. 367)

I'll assume a bullet hole or two in the head there too. Because all it mentions after that is McVries opening his eyes and smiling -- and then he was gone. And Garraty starts kind of going batshit. So no heavy description of his death. Clothes -- no real mentions yet on the reread. He has a jacket, methinks. And a knapsack (macaroons, a clean shirt and raw meat! XD). Also, a scar on his left cheek -- from a letter opener.
