“This was something they determined with magnets and large plumb bobs . . . from the darkness beyond . . . came a strong harmonic humming. The sound of many voices, all singing together as one.”
“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.”
For the “cactus” prompt there was only ever one option, do ya.
“The rose was the centerpiece of all things; it was the engine that drove reality…it was the Tower. In this world, the Dark Tower was a single rose growing in a vacant lot.”
‘Yet he still had Roland’s horn, the one which was blown by Arthur Eld, or so the stories did say. He will not give it back. “For I blow it sweeter than you ever did,” he tells Roland, laughing. “You can have it when I’m dead. Neglect not to pick it up, Roland, for it’s your property.”’

A little backstory: I’m a behavioral health social worker in the south and between my work and a long ass commute, I struggle to stay consistently creative. But October always brings spooky drawing challenges, so this year I’m using my favorite fictional universe to kick the rust off and get back to creating. I love the Dark Tower (and the expanded King multiverse) so much — beyond just a great story and inspiration as an artist, it really has affected how I think and even influenced the articulation of my personal spiritual beliefs. Inktober is a huge undertaking but I owe it to the Tower to try!
Anyways, the second prompt was relic and there were a few to choose from, but this felt like the most overarching choice.
Long days and pleasant nights 🥀
just finishing W&G for my fourth time and of course always thinking about new things, as every Tower journey causes us to do. This question is specifically about the Thinnies -- I'd love your take on it!
they are like the thin thresholds between worlds, but also have a hunger and a sort of communication. when Farson's men are lured into Eyebolt Canyon and they are being devoured, what do you think happens to them?
in other words, if a Thinny is the threshold between worlds, does that mean that, in some other "wheres," there are just mangled man parts materializing? like are the tips of Cuthbert's boots showing up in some other place? or does the Thinny simply devour?
hello all! the attached video is mine and the bird does not appear to be injured or in distress. i almost killed it with my rotary mower earlier this afternoon -- i didn't see it because it was in some taller grass but fortunately i don't think it actually got hurt.
​
it is too young to fully fly but it can hop and flaps its wings trying to (saw this when i got close). i believe its parents are here trying to figure out how to get it back -- two chipping sparrows keep flying close, landing on the nearby fence, and i just now saw one land on the ground with the chick. looked like it gave it some food maybe because i saw the chick stretch its head out to the older bird.
​
ANYWAYS i wanted you to have enough detail to tell me -- should i be doing anything to help? it's been a couple of hours and it's still on the ground but has moved about 12 feet from where i originally left it. it seems the parents are still sticking around keeping watch. i am obviously keeping my dogs from the back yard for now, and google said the chick is old enough for me to leave it alone. i have read other posts as well but i guess i would just like some human reassurance that i am doing the right thing.
​
yeah that's gonna be a no for me big dawg
