I don't think enough people know that the Irish Catholic priest from Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot (1979) canonically went on to become a gay vampire hunter during the AIDS crisis in the 80s, and was unintentionally walking between different universes for a while.

Did anyone else submit Father Callahan from Salem's lot/The dark tower? I need to know if I'm the only person who is insane about that old man
so far just one but I do love your submission
Old irish priest with an alcoholism problem who works in a regular small town in Maine. His life is pretty normal until a vampire tries to take over the town and he togheter with a group of others fights him in order to save the town. During the fight he has a crisis of faith when he sees that his crucifix does nothing against the vampire and he is forced to drink the blood of the moster and is later marked with his crucifix on the forehead by him. Now a broken man he abbandons the cloth and flees to New York where he gives completly in to his alcoholism and discovers that there are other vampires and starts to quietly eliminate them. He lives for a while as a homeless man before finding himself working in a shelter. Here he start to rebuild his life but before long he is forced to flee the city when the vampires find out his identity and start to go after him. He start to travel the streets of the USA passing unseen through different worlds doing the odd jobs he can find to survive and killing the occasional vampire when he crosses paths with them. Eventually goes back to NY when he hears an old friend of his is about to die, after a visit to the hospital he leaves the city for good and wandering through the world he finds himself in another small town where he decide to sette down and build a church hoping against all hope to find redemption. Here he meets the gunslingers and after helping them protect the town after an invasion joins their group and helps them reach New York to get them to the next step of their quest. Here he will meet his end sacrificing himself against a horde of vampires in a restaurant in order to allow the one of the gunslingers to save himself. In the end he finds his faith again not in God but in himself and is able to take out the oldest and most powerful of the vampires as he dies. I'm so fucking sorry for writing this much about his life story but like honest to God I love this old man so much he means a lot to me and I belive he is one the best character ever put to paper with an amazing carachter arc that spans multiple books and is about how yes faith in something higher can be important and can help you but in the end you need to have faith in yourself above all because it's not something higher that makes you a good person but your choices and action so even in the darkest moments when you feel like shit and like an unlovable beign who deserves to die you can still find the strenght to pullman yourself out of hell. So yeah sorry not sorry for writing this much this just opend the floodgates for me.

The Dark Tower Mixtape - "Priest & Vampire (Someone Saved My Life Tonight" on SKzd. My best track yet, by a mile. Featuring a rendition of the Elton John tune, arranged and performed by the inimitable PLANET ARTEMIS, poster art by Alicia Rose Bane, starring a character from the one and only 'Salem's Lot.
The gist of The Dark Tower Mixtape is I record my favorite passages from Stephen King’s epic, genre-spanning series and write/cover/sample/commission music that makes alchemical magic with the text, then publish them on my Patreon, SKzd. ($3 gets you almost two years worth of writing + audio.) "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is written right into this Wolves of the Calla scene, and New Zealand film composer Planet Artemis—who you should check out on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube—delivered a truly stunning rendition.
My mission’s for anyone to be able enjoy these short audio adventures—fan or not, read the books long ago or never once. Check out Track 13: "Priest & Vampire (Someone Saved My Life Tonight)" and let me know what you think?

josie: You're not making any sense.
Pj:  - Oh and all of a sudden you're the President of Things that Make Sense?!
-------
Pj *talking to Mr .G with the club about the next meeting or something*
Pj: Cool, thanks, dad
*everyone staring at her*
Pj: Why is everyone staring at me?
Isabel: You just called Mr .G “dad”.
Pj: *scoffs* No, I didn’t, I said thanks, man.
Mr G: Do you see me as a father figure, girl?
Pj: No! If anything, I see you as a bother figure cause you’re always bothering me.

Pj: I didn’t call him dad!
-------
Hazel *carves "pj + Hazel" into a tree*
Pj: What a nerd.
Pj *adds "4ever"*
_______
Hazel: We should get you to a doctor for a check up immediately. What if it happens again, and there isn’t anyone around to help you? What if it’s congenital? Oh my God! Was it me? Did I hurt you?
Pj: …You realize any other person that made their partner pass out in bed would simply feel really proud of themselves, right?
--------
*Hiking*
Hazel: Mother nature is beautiful
Pj *panting trying to catch her breath*: MOTHER NATURE IS A WHORE!!!!
-------
Pj: relax, Principle meyers won’t be able to trace this back to us.

Pj: You're wearing make-up.
Hazel: Oh, it's just eyeliner. Do you like it?

Pj: I'm a gorgeous hot mess.
--------
Hazel: Sometimes I worry I'm being awkward, but then I remember it's half my charm, so I redouble my efforts immediately.
--------
Hazel: Things look a little tense.
Pj: Don't worry, I'm gonna open with a joke.
Hazel: Please don't.
-------
Pj: But now they come for my girl?
Pj: My sweet, defenseless hazel?
Hazel: ...
Hazel: …I know how to make bombs.. I have 16 taekwondo medals, and I'm the best fighter in the club?! I killed someone with a football helmet?!
------
Pj: Good news! I didn’t screw up!
Hazel: …
Pj: I screwed up less badly than usual!
Hazel: …
Pj: Screwed up with less immediate consequences than usual
---------
Pj: *drunk and hitting HEAVILY on Hazel*
Hazel *blushing*: Usually, I would love to take you up on the offer, pj, but you're too drunk to consent...
Stella-Rebecca: Aww, that's sweet, Hazel. I'm sure pj appreciates that you don't want to take advantage of her.
Pj: THE HELL I DO!
---------
*pj driving with hazel in the passenger seat*
Pj: I'd be really lost without you, Hazel.

Pj: No, no, literally, where the fuck are we.
--------
Pj: Would you still love me?
Hazel: ...If what?

-------
*Warning: this is an ANGSTY one, my friends- don't worry, they work it out. As a sidenote; watch the scott pilgrim show if you haven't already. It's so good*
Pj: the truth is, I was too afraid to face you and my feelings
Hazel *angrily*: So you left without a word?!
Hazel: You made me feel like nothing.
Hazel: You we're afraid? Good for you!
Hazel: All I ever wanted was for you to see me.
Pj *holds back tears knowing she fucked up badly*
-----
Hazel: No, I'm not tired of being nice. Yes, I still just wanna go apeshit. These things can coexist, stop asking me.
------
Hazel: my kink is saying something incredibly corny and watching you speed run the five stages of grief as you realize with horror you still want to fuck me.
Pj *pillow over her face*: I am begging you, Hazel, please get a new kink…
------
Pj: Hazel figured out she can sneakily stick a note on someone’s back.
Pj: But she doesn’t know they should say things like “kick me”, so they just have cat facts on them.
------
Hazel: You idiot!
Pj: I’m sure you’re right, but why?!
------
Brittney: Can you come collect your freak of a girlfriend please, she's doing things
Hazel: No.
Hazel: I set her loose on purpose, she needed enrichment.
-------
Isabel: Ever since you started dating, you've become really nice and kind to Hazel. It's sweet
Pj: Well, duh, I'm not stupid. You don't bite the hand that fingers you, or whatever the saying is.
_______
Pj: I need bitches, how to I get bitches wise one 🙏🙏🙏
Rhodes: Well, first off, you gotta stop calling them that, girl.
---------
Pj: It's nice to see you again.
Hazel: Are you talking to my cooch?
Pj: Yes.
---------
Pj: Vulnerability is like so hard. If I told you anything sappy, Hazel, please know that I had to do hand to hand combat with seven layers of embarrassment, regression, and abandonment issues.
--------
Hazel: Pj, people love you and care about you whether you like it or not. I love you whether you like it or not. And no matter how hard you try to push me away, I'm not going anywhere. So just get used to it, okay?
-------
Pj: I guess I’m just a bad person.
Hazel: No, you’re not a bad person. You’re a terrific person. You’re my favorite person. But sometimes you can be a real asshole.
