How am I confusing the turtle in the Stephen King section and the same turtle from Stephen King that you linked to?

Did you think you were replying to the OP?

Probably Maturin, which shows up in IT and The Dark tower series

See the turtle of enormous girth On his shell he holds the earth His thought is slow but always kind He holds us all within his mind On his back all vows are made He sees the truth but mayn’t aid He loves the land and loves the sea And even loves a child like me.

If you choose to walk up from the train station (and I recommend that over the taxis, the garden are lovely), those stairs to the highest points are a brutal add-on, but damn are the views worth it

Everybody makes mistakes, but it’s seems it’s mine that always keep on stinging

LSD Soundsystem

Pan’s Labyrinth for me

Idk about you, but if I got messy enough with my pencils to have that much on my hands, I’d just wash my hands…

Hell, maybe the old pink pearl could actually help take graphite (or whatever composite, based on that other post) off of skin, and I just learned something

Ah yea, after rereading, I think you’re right, still weird, but not as weird as I initially thought

I was a weird kid. I’m still weird. But I used to be, too.

Ooof, he must really be desperate to be opening Strixhaven

I’ve been out of the game for about a year, I got exhausted of perpetual hype and all of the Universes Beyond stuff. I don’t mind the occasional set like that, but getting more non-Magi IP sets/releases in a year than in-universe ones is too much IMO

That, plus WotC printing mostly for commander and/or ruining modern with MH2&3.

It probably doesn’t help that I hate the “free to play” gaming model, and so I refuse to get Arena.

It was definitely Throne of Eldraine (Oko was a mistake!) where things just got crazy, but War of the Spark did not help by dumping like 50 other new planeswalkers into the pool and giving them statics.
