Something Wicked This Way Comes - Tumblr Posts
A stranger is shot in the street, you hardly move to help. But if, half an hour before, you spent just ten minutes with the fellow and knew a little about him and his family, you might just jump in front of his killer and try to stop it. Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know is bad, or amoral, at least. You can’t act if you don’t know.

You had to run with a night like this, so the sadness could not hurt.
Ray Bradbury, from Something Wicked This Way Comes (via wholesomeobsessive)
“Death doesn’t exist. It never did, it never will. But we’ve drawn so many pictures of it, so many years, trying to pin it down, comprehend it, we’ve got to thinking of it as an entity, strangely alive and greedy. All it is, however, is a stopped watch, a loss, an end, a darkness. Nothing. And the carnival wisely knows we’re more afraid of Nothing than we are of Something.”
-Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

what r your swtwc headcanons?
Assuming swtwc mean Something Wicked This Way Comes…
I fell like we might be offending a lot of people who like this book because we’re making it too modern or whatver by adding headcanons, but idc I really like the book and it’s fun to make the characters have more personality.
will and Jim are in love but ofcourse it’s the 60’s so they can’t say anything about it to eachother!! :P
miss foley is deaf (I stole this from u lol)
Mr. Fury (aka the Dwarf) is AroAce, but since this didn’t really exists back then, he kind of pushed his lack of feelings aside and made being a traveling salesman his excuse for not settling down
Will wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up
Jim needs glasses but doesn’t tell anyone because his mother is struggling and doesn’t want her to spend money on him
Both of Jim’s siblings died partially of natural causes and partially because of his father’s abuse.
Jim’s father was abusive towards his children and his wife, but has died.
Mr.Dark is a conspiracy theorist
Will has all A’s and Jim has mostly B’s with an A in history and PE
carousel...
*leans back im my old timey chair*
why I haven't heard that name since I read Something Wicked This Way Comes...
Built almost 100 years ago in the deforested recreational park that would one day become Watcher World, the Panopticon Carousel is practically an institution in Hatchetfield. Despite the unusually high injury rates of riders on the gaudy, mirror-covered merry-go-round, many residents have terrified fond memories of riding it as children.
Among teens and adults, however, there is friendly debate regarding if whether the artist who made it:
A. Has never seen a horse before in his fucking life; or
B. Was on all the drugs when he made it.
I am entering back into my ultrakill era.
“Something wicked this way comes…”

I have been sick really badly so that's why I didn't draw and post, and this is how close I feel the death is from me when I'm sick
