Short answer: different guy but the same guy

Complicated answer: i think of Host as new entity that Author accidentally turned himself into, so a different soul but same body. I have a more arty summary here but basically my interpretation is that Author tried to use his reality bending powers on himself and Host is the fucked up result. I flip flop on whether Host should have Author’s memories or not.

My favorite is definitely The Host. It’s ridiculous because he has like 30 seconds of screentime, no real lore, and will never appear again but goddammit if he didnt imprint in my mind way back when. I loved cyndago and i still remember the ‘goodbye’ video..everything was so abrupt and tragic when it ended. But the stories are still there. And i think im really compelled by the gaps left, like when youre looking at a shape in the dark; theres just enough there to guide your imagination. So yea, Host is my fav because im sentimental and ive made up a bunch of shit about him in my head.

Secondary favorite is Wilford and Abe as a pair, I think theyre some of the best of mark’s writing and also WMLW is awesome. And theyre sillys <3
