Currently reading The Shining by Stephen King. I never really seen the movie, and I know King dislikes it. Frankly, while reading the book I forgot Wendy was blonde for most of it and kept imagining Shelley Duvall. However for Jack Torrance I see someone else? Steven Weber from the mini series is close to how I imagine Jack.

Some spoilers on my thoughts so far on the book- I'm nearly done with it but I have feelings I need to post about

The book makes me pretty sad. I know most don't feel this way towards Jack but he just makes me so sad more than anything. To me it was clear that he cared about Wendy and Danny enough to try and fix his behavior but It was given over time he had way more issues than alcoholism and a temper.

What kills me is that a lot of his sensible moments amidst his growing lack of wits, came from simply remembering how much he loves Danny and how much Danny clearly admires him despite what Jack has done.

Should Wendy have taken Danny and leave? Probably, after Dannys arm incident. I would have. The thing with Jack though is his remorse after these moments. When you are angry, common sense is turned off. That is a thing our brains do. We do not process when we have that emotion. Anger is a protection mechanism. Which for Jack stemmed from his own abusive childhood and likely developed from his fathers own anger issues. This man didn't need just AA meetings, he needed therapy.

But the hotel playing on this, making Jack descend to sound and think like his father is what sold it for me. Trying so hard to break the cycle of something only to continue the cycle in the end is heart breaking. I personally sympathize with the man. He certainly is not a good man, and Wendy should have left him sooner, but my god I can sympathize to his struggle and him making the attempt to get better. Cant wait to finish this and pick up Doctor Sleep.

TW: Gender Dysphoria

Man do I wish I didn't have this chest and I wish I wasn't born a female. If I didn't have this two lumps on my chest then when it hot out I can just be shirtless, but nope, what ever deities out there decided to curse me into being a female by birth-
