ghost hand, ghost door.

here's the official laika's comet character quiz!

Alright, I wanna fuckin' talk about Dave/Amy (and John/Dave/Amy by proxy). I've read up to ITBEYITWU. This is gonna be messy but I don't care.

So first I want to establish something I feel is easy to forget when reading John Dies at the End: Dave is not a reliable narrator, nor an innocent person.

We see this most obviously in Lance Falconer, who is only revealed to be a dramatization of an actual guy later on. That one's just a joke. We also see him dodge things that happened to him on childhood. He dodges questions about Billy until he finally tells Amy everything. Then he pretends (briefly) he feels regret, only to confess otherwise. Jim states he saw Dave laughing as if things were normal less than a day after Billy died. We also know that Dave is the one who gave Amy the nickname Sea Cucumber. Dave is, factually, kind of a dick. Think about when Shadow People have possessed him with Krissy Lovelace - his thoughts, his reactions. Everything.

Dave is not a good dude, and he's writing in first person. While he self deprecates, sure, we know he isn't fully honest with his audience. He has control of the narrative.

He's the protag but not like a morale high-ground. He admits this in his multiple rants where he talks about how much he hates himself like
