The only Dr Sheehan that exists to me is the book version

The only Andrew Laeddis that exists to me is the movie version

Andrester are the way they are in the book

Platonic!!!!!!!! Fire Axe (Andrew and Bridget, platonic!!) are the way they are in the movie

The ending is the way it is in the movie (no heartwrenching 1993 prologue) because I want to hc that they ended up realizing that Andrew was just pretending and didn't lobotomize him and everyone was happy ever after

Ken Gage and Leonora Grant exist (as they do in the book)

The only Dr Cawley that exists to me is the movie version (don't feel as strongly about this as some of the others, I just rlly love movie Cawley)

The only Peter Breene that exists to me is the book version

Bridget Kearns (my baby, my goddess, my dearest) can freely switch between the book and movie version (the only difference is appearance anyways)

Andrew Laeddis: "God forbid a woman does anything"

George Noyce: "You need to let go of her, she's messing with your head!"

(to clarify, this is NOT a complaint!! I might even kinda be bragging bc some Shutter Island characeter tags on AO3 only became marked common because of me)

Peter Breene (is an actual named character with actual screen and page time): *is not a canonical tag*

Bridget Kearns's husband (was literally mentioned once): *is a canonical tag*

This is if she got revived post-canon (successful roleplay AU) for some fucking reason. Btw it's certain Mr Kearns won't be getting revived, so there's no worrying about that

Andrew Laeddis

Heavy one, huh

He'd be really happy, obviously

But also really disturbed

He'd apologize profusely about shooting her

He might relapse in his delusions because now the guilt is paired with Dolores being actually there post-shooting and I don't think he'd be able to handle that emotionally

When he first sees her, he might think he's relapsing in his delusions and that she's just a vivid hallucination. This would make him panic

I LIKE to think he'd tell her that they just can't work out anymore and that he's with Dr Sheehan now

But more likely, he'd just get back with her

Asks his friends to be nice to her and to try to befriend her too (she's lonely)

Dr. Sheehan

Would accept Dolores as a patient

Would heavily resent Dolores because of everything going on with Andrew

Begrudgingly accepts the fact that her and Andrew are back together (his feelings are MAJORLY hurt though)

Doesn't tolerate other characters being mean to Dolores

Peter Breene

Obviously hates her (we all know "you kill your own kids? Gas the bitch" was actually about her)

Gets into several fights with Andrew over this even though he is just looking out for his well-being

is also scared of her

Bridget Kearns

Andrew asks her to try to befriend Dolores because Dolores is lonely as hell

She's cordial towards Dolores, but honestly just as cautious as everyone else, if not more

She's very worried about Andrew

At some point, she definitely confronts Dolores about being selfish and inflicting trauma on someone she supposedly loves (and has no reason not to)

Which Dolores would get like really mad at because she does genuinely love Andrew, she's just very mentally ill to the point where it's definitely more complex than just bipolar disorder (though she canonically has that too, but yeah, Andrew mentioned her mind "consumed itself")

Basically the two women can't really understand eachother because of their polar opposite personalities

Andrew honestly doesn't know which side to take: the objectively correcter "Dolores you're a child murderer, please don't traumatize my best friend again" or the side of his beloved wife whom he canonically considers his soulmate

Unlike Peter, Andrew actually likes Bridget and she's also not as harsh with Dolores as he is

George Noyce

Same as Peter Breene except he's a lot more upfront and direct with how she affected them all

And, yes, I'm talking about the shower scene between Teddy and Dolores
