Is Stephen King a based retard?
>>
>>216948487
Stephen is a pedo.
>>
He is trapped on earth, unable to leave.
It also does mention in the tv show that the meteor he came in, the indians created a barrier so he could not escape
>>
Something about space magic rock trapping him in a small area. Why does it only become active once every 30 years though
>>
He was trapped in the area by le noble indians (who also decided to live there with him instead of fucking off) by his own comet? Like if I crashed my car into a million pieces and they buried a few pieces so now I can't leave even though I just used it to get there. idk don't think about it too hard

There is over 20 hours of cut footage just of that scene. The boys kept messing up right at the end and they had to film it over and over for weeks.

Not an orgy, in the book all the boys just ran a train on Beverly after they were leaving the sewer.

You're more right than you realize. When those children grow up and inevitably become crazed drug addicts like every child star, we'll know it's because of all the Hollyweird rape and sexual abuse.

Stephen King's universe basically operates like a comic book universe already (Carrie, his first published book, was admittedly inspired by superhero comics) so something like that could easily be done with his own characters. You can get around the 30-year hibernation by just having the team-up take place in a parallel version of the main King-verse like Dark Tower.
So who should be on the Crack-vengers and who should they be fighting? I say have the government round up all the spooky superpowered kids, get the magical negroes to train them, and make them fight ayy lmaos.

>>216948487
>is apparently some billions-year-old ancient cosmic entity with the ability to traverse entire universes
I don't know how many times King had to make it clear to you: IT IS A FUCKING SPIDER! It's like you're getting mad about the spider hiding in your garage because all it does is hang out in its web preying on flies. It's a weak creature from ONE other dimension that got trapped in ours. It's not billions of years old, it's not God, it's not going through infinite universes or whatever other stupid shit headcanons you want to make up to make it seem like the most powerful fictional creature ever. It hides, preys on young vulnerable humans, tries to stay out of sight of adults and make them forget since it's so weak, they are a threat to it. Pay attention instead of looking at tiktok.

He's bound to Derry because the comet shards that were his original prison, he sleeps all the time so he doesn't exhaust his food supply and starve. He wouldn't sleep at all and would just gorge on the whole world if he was set free.

They trapped it in a small forest nobody lived in so it couldn't reach their village. Then the white man built their own town inside that trap because they weren't gonna listen to no injun about where is or is not a good spot to build a town.

>>216948528
That lore is incredibly stupid
In the show he can get within a few feet of the magic rocks, but somehow 13 spread in a miles-wide circle can contain him?
Also, he was in the comet, so it's not like contact kills him, so why do the stones have an AoE deterrent effect on him?

zero effort was put into this show's lore

it feels like a screenwriter made a script about >muh black experience, but the executives knew that wouldn't sell so they wrote a pennywise plot into the show.

They decided to move far the fuck away from the forest and not right next to it, right? So their kids playing in the woods didn't accidentally go in there? or maybe they chase a deer too far in there and don't realize? what do you mean they eat, sleep and shit RIGHT next to it?

II. THERE IS ONLY ONE UNIVERSE; THE MEANING IS EVIDENT IN THE WORD ITSELF.

III. IT IS A DEMON; LOWLY DEMONS ARE ATTACHEDTO SPECIFIC PLACES; WHERE THAT DEMON FELL, HE WAS THERE TO STAY; IT CANNOT LEAVE.

IV. CHILDREN ARE THE PREDILECT PREY OF DEMONS.

V. HARLEQUINS, AND CLOWNS, ARE PARODICAL OF DEMONS; DEMONS LOOK AND ACT CLOWNISH; CLOWNS ARE DEMONIC.

>>216950037
Pretty sure it ties into SKs overall lore for his meta universe that he created.
I dont know the ins and outs of it but there is more to IT than in the original book. Mainly elaborated on more in the dark tower novels. I know IT is supposed to have some beef with the great turtle.
You could probably read the fandom wiki about it if you wanted to learn more.
Ultimately though the gist is he is trapped on earth and trapped in a small area, derry and feeds on fear simply because it tastes nice.

None of that shit is from the book. It was made up for the show. It basically broke through a cosmic barrier into our universe for some unknown reason. Because he broke through to our reality he became bound by its limitations over time. It slept until people settled on the land and awoke to feast. As time grew on, his pattern of sleep and feasting became more regular entangled with the birth of Derry as a township. He is stuck in Derry because he is Derry. He is the roots of the town. He makes it prosper and thrive through his influence and culling. The sewers are meant to be the metaphorical roots of the town. The problem is that because he feeds in this reality, he develops weaknesses in accordance with it. His 'glammer' for example relies on the mind of the victim and this in turn makes the imagination and fear of children more tasty but also limits his reach. As a werewolf in the Neibolt house, he first becomes aware of blinding pain after beverly shoots the silver at him. He also has a temporal physical form as a spider like creature. When he is defeated, the town tears itself apart in the book in a series of crushing earthquakes. The Ritual of Chud should be mentioned as in the book the children enter his deadlights to an astral plane where they will be lost forever unless they show strength of will and if you attack IT on this plain then you will wound him great enough to make his 'physical' form weaker. He is like Sauron though in that he may develop a physical form but can retreat into shadows until ready to grow more powerful again.

This is chapter 21 from the creatures perspective.

Before the universe there had been only two things. One was Itself and the other was the Turtle. The Turtle was a stupid old thing that never came out of its shell. It thought that maybe the Turtle was dead, had been dead for the last billion years or so. Even if it wasn’t, it was still a stupid old thing, and even if the Turtle had vomited the universe out whole, that didn’t change the fact of its stupidity.

It had come here long after the Turtle withdrew into its shell, here to Earth, and It had discovered a depth of imagination here that was almost new, almost of concern. This quality of imagination made the food very rich. Its teeth rent flesh gone stiff with exotic terrors and voluptuous fears: they dreamed of nightbeasts and moving muds; against their will they contemplated endless gulphs.

Upon this rich food It existed in a simple cycle of waking to eat and sleeping to dream. It had created a place in Its own image, and It looked upon this place with favor from the deadlights which were Its eyes. Derry was Its killing-pen, the people of Derry Its sheep. Things had gone on.

Then . . . these children.

Something new.

For the first time in forever.

When It had burst up into the house on Neibolt Street, meaning to kill them all, vaguely uneasy that It had not been able to do so already (and surely that unease had been the first new thing), something had happened which was totally unexpected, utterly unthought of, and there had been pain, pain, great roaring pain all through the shape it had taken, and for one moment there had also been fear, because the only thing It had in common with the stupid old Turtle and the cosmology of the macroverse outside the puny egg of this universe was just this: all living things must abide by the laws of the shape they inhabit.
>>
>>216952010
For the first time It realized that perhaps Its ability to change Its shapes might work against It as well as for It. There had never been pain before, there had never been fear before, and for a moment It had thought It might die—oh Its head had been filled with a great white silver pain, and it had roared and mewled and bellowed and somehow the children had escaped.

But now they were coming. They had entered Its domain under the city, seven foolish children blandering through the darkness without lights or weapons. It would kill them now, surely.

It had made a great self-discovery: It did not want change or surprise. It did not want new things, ever. It wanted only to eat and sleep and dream and eat again.

Following the pain and that brief bright fear, another new emotion had arisen (as all genuine emotions were new to It, although It was a great mocker of emotions): anger. It would kill the children because they had, by some amazing accident, hurt It. But It would make them suffer first because for one brief moment they had made It fear them.

Come to me then, It thought, listening to their approach. Come to me, children, and see how we float down here . . . how we all float.
>>
>>216952050And yet there was a thought that insinuated itself no matter how strongly It tried to push the thought away. It was simply this: if all things flowed from It (as they surely had done since the Turtle sicked up the universe and then fainted inside its shell), how could any creature of this or any other world fool It or hurt It, no matter how briefly or triflingly? How was that possible?

And so a last new thing had come to It, this not an emotion but a cold speculation: suppose It had not been alone, as It had always believed?

Suppose there was Another?

And suppose further that these children were agents of that Other?

Suppose . . . suppose . . .

It began to tremble.

Hate was new. Hurt was new. Being crossed in Its purpose was new. But the most terrible new thing was this fear. Not fear of the children, that had passed, but the fear of not being alone.

No. There was no other. Surely there was not. Perhaps because they were children their imaginations had a certain raw power It had briefly underestimated. But now that they were coming, It would let them come. They would come and It would cast them one by one into the macroverse . . . into the deadlights of Its eyes.

Yes.

When they got here It would cast them, shrieking and insane, into the deadlights.

I would assume so. I prefer to see the King novels as seperate and dont go for this whole multiverse thing but if you think about a character like Flagg who came into our earth in The Stand not fully understanding his purpose or full powers. I think King was very much influenced by LOTR and Sauron or the Black Riders when it comes to this.

The Turtle is literally the Demiurge and far more cruel and vile than IT.
IT derives pleasuire from suffering but also eats to survive
The Turtle created all of existence in our universe and life randomly like a literal fart, then fucked off and left everyone to suffer despite the fact it had power to do otherwise
If anything IT actually liberates people from the chains of physical existence through the Deadlights and being sent into the macroverse

i'm re-reading the book now (first time since high school) and i just passed the part where it attacks mike hanlon as a giant bird and mike clearly injures/scares it off in that sequence, which i believe predates the neibolt house incident by several months. he hides in a pipe and the bird squeezes in behind him so he smokes it in the eye with a piece of tile which bloodies the eye and forces it backwards out of the pipe, after which it doesnt hang around long before disappearing. that was young mike hanlon's first chapter so King may have been a few grams deep when he wrote it and totally forgot

His beef with the Great Turtle is that the turtle can no-diff IT whenever the turtle wants too and this both scares and pisses IT off. He's basically the Cosmic Horror equivalent of a cocky hooligan who can actually get no-diffed by kids if they aren't concerned about him
IT is really fucking stupid

It is basically an animal, it doesn't have an imagination, which is why it appears as shit the kids are scared of instead of thinking stuff up itself.

A lot of people pay lip service to caring about child rape and pedophilia just because they know it's "what you're supposed to say."

Like when somebody dies on the news, everybody knows you're supposed to say, "Oh my gosh, that's so terrible!"

But most people who always say "what you're supposed to say" don't actually care. They're just pretending to be "normal."

"Oh, normal people are supposed to be disgusted by pedophilia, so I'll say how disgusting it is, then nobody will realize I'm a fucking sociopath who literally doesn't give a fuck about anything besides myself.

The whole "Epstein List" fiasco should have proven to all the people who really do actually care about pedophilia that most people say they care but really don't give a shit AT ALL.

It's what the Rosicrucians, formerly the Invisible College, believed that the "God" of our world was. They also believed that Jesus was a part of a part of a part of a part of the REAL God who is a vast infinity of which we were taken from by the Demiurge and split into multiple smaller souls.

Some of it is novel, but that fades when you realize the majority of it is midwits trying to molt their religion in the face of early heightened introspection but being incapable of it. It reminds me how all ex-catholics are even weirder than catholics because they don't really stop being a catholic, they just start being a catholic version of something that isn't really catholic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Ecclesia

Did leddit teach you how to talk out of your ass and make vague assumptions? We don't do that here, you can go back. Rosicrucians have been active and prevalent without going anywhere, they were a huge part of the masonic movement towards the west and have never not had an active involvement in the US, and they suck just like other stupid lying jew worshipers. Do yourself a favor and find a religion that teaches you what performative behavior and moral posturing is and how it's used to manipulate.
