anexcusetofrighten replied to your post: tbh I’m really disappointed in the Randall…

    They might be due to the movie / his appearance in The Dark Tower insert illustrations? Isaac!

ugh I think you’re right. and when I went back to read his description in The Stand, I realized where I may have gotten confused (though I still hold that he’s ambiguously race’d):

In New York he was known as Robert Franq, and his claim that he was a black man had never been disputed, although his skin was very light.

I totally read that as “very light (for a black man),” which although does not satisfy my headcanon casting of Isaac, does make me feel like I have some claim to this beef. XD

tbh I’m really disappointed in the Randall Flagg tag. everyone’s fanart is of a white man. p. sure he is explicitly described as THE DARK MAN including his skin??? (of course I’ve only read The Stand so it’s possible I’ve missed a description here or there HA HA)

my headcanon Flagg is Isaac Hayes with maybe a little bit less…head. more hat.

The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything.
