Titled

I probably could’ve been upfront about my DBH obsession (especially since they backseated a playthrough I did in COVID times; they’re the only reason Kara made it out of Zlatko’s because they pulled up a guide when I forgot what to do) but I’m sooo embarrassed about how sick in the head this game makes me lmao.

They only know I’m obsessed with The Last Of Us and Breaking Bad, both of which I also got them into…

…and subsequently begged them to make another charm and entire quilt for 🤭 the quilt is my favorite thing ever and they had so many good ideas like stuffing a square to represent when Jesse inflated his hazmat suit, a Saul Goodman square, the bleached fly, periodic table backing, etc.

A few people have caught onto the fact that these are all Stephen King characters. I should preface by saying I have only read Misery, Pet Sematary, Cujo, Christine, The Shining, Carrie, Under the Dome, Sleeping Beauties, and Insomnia, so my repertoire was limited to characters in those books.

Hank: Jack Torrance from The Shining

Reasoning: …ok look it’s just because they’re both alcoholics (Jack more-so in the book) BUT Jack is really recognizable. I almost went with Louis Creed from Pet Sematary but that felt too mean and frankly unguessable off of looks alone.

Sumo: Cujo from Cujo

Reasoning: Stephen King didn’t make any other Saint Bernard characters.

I haven’t seen the movie but this pic looks insane 😭 poor Cujo

And for arguably the hardest out of the three:

Connor: Church from Pet Sematary

Reasoning: They both (depending on your playthrough or headcanons) are brought back from the dead, but they come back a bit different than before. Church also gets neutered and Louis starts thinking how Church isn’t a man anymore, he’s an it now, and so on lmao. And they both (again, depends) are hit by trucks. Also this quote:

Church was a big stretch, I admit. Danny from The Shining would’ve been fun (his psychic visions are comparable to Connor’s reconstructions and preconstructions; they both have an outside presence in their head through Tony or Amanda).

My personal top choice would’ve been Paul Sheldon from Misery (held captive by an obsessive woman; pressured to complete his work under duress) cuz that is my favorite SK book, but I was not about to draw crippled legs 💀

I had put Amanda where Halle Berry’s character was at first, but whenever Bond encounters a woman… it usually leads to getting in bed with them 😬 I didn’t want to imply anything LOL

Anyways, I’m sure some naysayers (probably Reed) would nominate a different James Bond character ‘look-alike’ for Connor:
