Not Me Just Realizing This But - I'm Rewatching OBX And This Is The First Time We Get A Glimpse Of Luke

not me just realizing this but - i'm rewatching OBX and this is the first time we get a glimpse of Luke - AS HE'S LEAVING BARRY'S TRAILER.

I'm re-reading Stormbreaker so I thought I'd share some quotes to remind us all that Alex is a literal foetus. A baby. Fresh from the womb. Tiny.

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.

You know how he’s a cook right? I’m thinking he just took boxes of these things from his country with him and started making them for people. And people were like oh my god this is great. Are you a chef? And he was just saying Goracy kubek in response bc that’s what he made for them. And everyone assumed it’s his name, and it stuck.
