r/TheDarkTower

Just subtle enough for Dark Tower fans to get it and love it, yet variable enough that said hypothetical son could live without being teased over it. Calling himself Will or Bill and so on.

RIP Frank Beard from ZZ Top, the original “God Drummer” of “Velcro Fly”.

I love Billy-Bumblers!

How does Oys name translate into other languages?

I just saw another very talented redditors drawings of the characters, and saw that Oy was named “Oy/Acho” which I have guessed (but not googled because I prefer discussion!) is short for muchacho, rather than boy.

Can anyone shed some light? Thanks fellow gunslingers, long days and pleasant nights.

Did Roland’s mother really “suck John Farson with glee”? Was it common knowledge that Walter/Martin had his way with her and she was a slut or was this just someone trying to anger someone else in the heat of battle?

My plot breakdown of the dark tower book two the drawing of the three. A little more polished than my gunslinger video. Still learning. I intend to eventually cover the whole series.

After Roland got it back from Flagg in the Glass Palace? He used it to show his ka-tet the horrible thing that happened long ago, and then they sleepwalk about 30 miles away from the Palace toward the Borderlands, but the ball itself is never mentioned again. Did Roland somehow lose it when he showed them all that vision, or was it lost during their sleepwalking trek? Or did Flagg take it back while they were all unconscious? I suppose if he packed them a lunch and left a note, he could have taken back the Grapefruit as well. Even though nobody seemed surprised that it was gone.

During the destruction of Lud, I swear I recall a moment where the ka-tet observes a crowd of people being thrown into a crusher. Describing the facial expressions of a few of them as looking "relieved" to be doing this, instead of facing the nerve gas.

I can't seem to find this passage in the book. Did I imagine this? Is it mentioned in a recounting of Lud's destruction in a later book? Am I going insane?
