you’re laughing. i’m dancing naked and you’re laughing.

If the judge becomes a “literally me” character, our world is doomed.

[hildaenjoyer]

The thought of Judge Holden getting one of those “literally me” tiktok edits is equally hilarious as it is deeply terrifying.

[ferghalicious]

Honestly, the main takeaway I got from Blood Meridian was that McCarthy really knows all the specific names for different types of rock formations

“The freedom of birds is an insult to me.”
“Omg me too”

[DrSevenfold]

Damn Wendigoon really woke up some new type of "Literally me" personalities.

[projectx]

As someone who never read a single page of Blood Meridian I can confirm this is 100% accurate representation of someone who has read Blood Meridian once.

*goes into a Judge esque monologue*

“Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars”

[wfd]

quick we have to give him a fun, realistic and down-to-earth slice-of-life novel to make him return to normal

[Raphe]

It would be such a testament to the terrifying charisma that The Judge possesses and the skill of McCarthy for being able to portray that to see people start going "literally me" over a child predator who may or may not be the actual devil solely because he gives powerful monologues that make some of the most wretched ideas sound logical.

whenever talking about blood meridian, it is mandatory to precede it by talking about how weird twitter is

Whatever meme who exists without my knowledge exists without my consent.

Cormac McCarthy literally has a vocabulary so big I can only suspect he's secretly 250 years old

[thegnarledpirate]

Wendigoon putting this book on the spotlight was both a great and terrible action.

I was on a boat on the Mekong in Laos with my girlfriend (who was an American lit major) and some people we'd met in Thailand. The trip was supposed to take 12 hours, but ended up lasting 4 nights and the best part of 5 days. Whilst our rations dwindled to spicy cup noodles, some weird Thai Pringles rip off, an unholy number of nasty Vietnamese cigarettes, increasingly warm Beerlao, and a couple of bottles of scotch, we passed the time playing cards, staring into the passing jungle, and taking turns reading my girlfriend's dog-eared copy of Blood Meridian. Mass-delirium brought on by sleep deprivation, hunger, and, let's face it, a constant state of mild intoxication, really amplified the effects of the book on a bunch of pretentious 20-something Arts students far from home. At some point it started to feel like we were traveling towards some Colonel Kurtz-type encounter with the Judge.

[jeremyhopkins]

Yeah, that's pretty accurate. I read Blood Meridian for the first time when I was like 11 and my mom asked me how my day at school was and I was like "my origins are remote as is my destiny and not again in all the world's turning will there be terrains so wild and barbarous as to test whether the stuff of creation may be shaped to man's will or whether my own heart is not another kind of clay."

[redtexan]

I really don’t want to live in a world where people have decided to make Judge Holden their whole personality.

[ArchibaldClumpy]

I haven't read the book in awhile, but basically I remember two things:

- Vistas are described in 10, 000 different ways that make you look at them fresh every time, that make them somehow both awe-inspiring and a reminder that you like the hares and the lizards will one day molder and in your putrefaction leave no trace upon this world to the utter disregard of any divine eye that may have once turned Its sights unto this blighted and dreary universe.

- Scalping a thousand people in order from least sympathetic to most sympathetic.

All jokes aside, he was one hell of an author. RIP CMcC
