I don't know boss
You tell me.

It just works

>>18845428
It just works

>>18845428
It just works.

Let me in on it
what are we talking about

>>18845468
The bad guy from the dark tower books, Robert Fripp's progressive rock band, or a punch ghost that can erase time. Take your pick.

>>18845471
Punch ghost sounds rad

crimson king = red king = bull god.

>>18845486
Oh so it's Molech then.

>>18845461

>>18845467

Triples confirm it's Todd Howard.

A descendant of Arthur Eld. If I remember correctly, he's a direct descendant (he's lived for a very, very long time as I recall). Roland is also a descendant of Arthur Eld and one of his concubines.

King keeps CK rather ambiguous, with very little being known about him. He is implied very heavily to be behind essentially every disaster and every villain in all of King's works, trying to undermine and destroy the very fabric of all reality itself.

AAAAAAAH AHHH

Robert Fripp I think.

names don't really matter, it's just demons trying to pierce the veil.

they use any historical context, gods, magicians, demons, aliens, extra dimensional beings, time travellers, parallel universe visitors, AI, robots.

goal is always the same:

>create golem host body
>summon into body
>destroy everything


the sun doesn't want to burn you, it just follows the laws of the universe to create a lot of radiant heat and if you got too close well that's that.

demons are fallen angels are non-physical processes which don't really want to be chaos. but something has to be chaos. I'm sure a lot of them look on at humans and feel jelly, because we can choose to be chaos or order, we can swing from extremes or be balanced in the middle, and being a human is fun as fuck, jerking off, tasting food, getting comfy. Being an immortal transdimensional light being which can be travel the universe freely gets boring after a few billion years, and you start wanting to sex some humans or feel some emotion.

So naturally you begin to slam against the physical barriers between your world and theirs.


I know this sounds a bit like muhhumanitysogud, but think it through rationally. If you can never die, do your experiences mean anything? You can never stop having them, after a while you just want temporary things. Right now we all want immortality, it's been the case for at least 11,000 years we all crave immortality. If we got it, we would eventually crave mortality again. What if you couldn't go between the realms so easily, what if we regret being immortal, well then, there's your explanation.

>>18845428
It's the Red King...

Before it was nobody, just knowledge lost. Now I think I may be. We'll see.

>>18845567
Good answer.

>also, the band Red Flag
> now defunct

>>18845665

He already wrote himself into the narrative, he can do it again.
And again.

>>18845665
>jerking off, tasting food, getting comfy

are these things really "fun as fuck"? Jerking off is there to relieve the agony of sexual tension, tasting food is there to save us from the intense physical anguish of your body eating itself and starving, and getting comfy or cozy implies there was a state of pain or discomfort that you just delivered yourself from.

honestly, all the things you just mentioned suck, and verify that in life there is far more pain than in death

Well those are really some of the better pleasures in life. Unless you're like some transsexual who still has her penis then you're having a wild time all the time.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_King

In Stephen King's novel, he is the embodiment of chaos and evil - his goal is to topple the dark tower and collapse the multiverse.

Red like wine, blood of life. A rose. King like the ruby in the ring. R is key.

interdasting...

>>18845428
it's a version of myself that was intricately created as a byproduct of my archetypal love after it had endured incredible amounts of evil/evol done upon it. those that have done evil/evol upon that love have no memory of doing such things and are bewildered by the anomaly, but they enjoy studying it, despite the detrimental impact it has on an incalculable amount of quintessence.

>>18846881
hmmmmm. may i have orgasmic vaginal squirting pleasure from now on and internally onwards, even if i must feel it vicariously, please? i believe they (and perhaps you) want to torture me until i am dead as they (although perhaps not 100% of them) enjoy studying the anomaly, but i hope i may feel some pleasure, that is, such sexual pleasure (even if it is only pseudo-sexual) whilst being nonconsensually forced to experience such incredible pain.

Some dickspits call on the King?

>>18846902
He's a scared little man with a small degree of power. Flagg is the true agent of Chaos, serving the Crimson King for power and the opportunity to fuck up the multiverse. Flagg talks about the thing that upsets humans about the universe most is it's scope. The multiverse is unimaginably large and either infinite or close enough to infinite that it doesn't matter. The lynch pin of the universe is a massive tower that the Crimson King want's to destroy so he can remake the universe. The entity is literally angry at the cosmic phallus and want's to be in charge after destroying it.

I might be wrong, but I always associated the the crimson king with the king of cups from the tarot.

He's the ultimate fate of Roland Deschain.
Doomed to repeat history over and over. Losing a bit more of himself each time. Yes he may gain the odd trinket but these too will fall by the wayside. Just like his friends and lovers. Used and discarded.
And slowly he will climb the tower even as he descends into gibbering madness.

>>18847606
Or that's what he want's you to think. He's faked his death many times before.

looks like a chicken if you look at it from far away

>>18845428
Nobody.

>>18847745

>>18848114
I don't think he could've faked being partially eaten by a demonic spider. I'm pretty sure that's it for him. Of course, he's probably still got some twinners out there, right? Remember the Flagg from Eyes of the Dragon? I still demand a sequel to that, dammit.

>>18848350
Kek.

This seems more like a thread for /lit/ than /x/, to be honest, but TKC is probably just an archetype of Satan/Evil (basically what >>18846902 said.)

>>18845428 It's Arthur himself, gone mad because he's lived so long. Or maybe it's the tower itself, the center of the stack of blank CD's sentient enough to hate itself.

It's useless to guess.
If you want to run and play, come and find the beam today.

The second most disappointing part of the series

The first being King writing himself into the book for no reason

Not really. But I could probably find something weird to love you for that you yourself do not know you possess.

Although I do like people who like to scare people, as an addendum
B-But I don't like to be scared

A few years ago a went a little nuts, though I was talking to aliens about a a guy called the "crimson king", "red lord" or "red barron". Really anything to do with the color red and a position of status. There were a lot of names/symbols used for him including "Adam" the first man. I was later surprised to find that Adam means "to be red" in Hebrew. Anyway, he's coming is what they said.

Probably similar to this guy. The dream perpetrator, asleep.

Nice pic, but I don't like how it depicts Roland wasting a shot to amputate a limb instead of an efficient kill. Roland was The Gunslinger - with all the superhuman, Batman-esque plot armor those capital letters imply - and bullets at that point were few and precious.
