Your gateway to endless inspiration
I have once again intercepted a braincell, this time while listening to Blixemi's Warriors songs (y'know a book series about a bunch of cats living in a forest) and noticed some parallels with TWH characters:
Way to You - literally every character, but especially Del about Colton and Jacob
Drowning in Memories - Jacob and Elliot about their trauma (drowning, huh, well fuck that's another thing)
Shared Eyes - Jacob and Cyrus. Jacob hating Cyrus for the kind of person he is and then doing things that really aren't much better than Cyrus's actions.
Stride by Stride - Colton to Kat, Jacob, and Elliot after his death.
Could Never Be - Kat and Susanna. There's a reason I call this one the "gay cat song" in my head. I don't think I need to say more.
All They See - Elliot and people only seeing him as Victor Augustine's son rather than as a whole entire other person.
Another You - Elliot's mom and Victor possibly.
Swallowing Shadows - I could kinda see a parallel with when Jacob felt like everything he knew in the 1800s had been a lie.
I'll be Complete - I can kinda see Susanna in this one.
Random The Way Home headcanons:
- Nick is fiercely protective of Elliot.
- Elliot watched The Land Before Time constantly as a kid.
- Danny gives Jacob a Nintendo Switch and a copy of Pokémon Let's Go Eevee. He also later gets Scarlet. Elliot has Violet. Neither can get through the Area Zero storyline without crying.
- Jacob's favorite Pokémon is Rockruff
- Elliot's favorite Pokémon is Umbreon
- Del watches Heartland
- Alice definitely grew up watching My Little Pony. Idk who her favorite character would've been though.
- Elliot has a Stegosaurus plushie named Dominic.
- Kat loved to climb trees as a kid. She convinced Elliot to try it once, which went horribly wrong.
- Nick still thinks deez nuts is funny. Jacob also thinks deez nuts is funny.
- Elliot and Nick both play Minceraft
- Elliot has a fear of snakes
Theory courtesy of my ADHDeez Nutz:
The magic of the pond itself causes people to go insane as a result of:
- knowing too much about the future
-spending too long in the past (especially at once)
People who this could be happening to:
-Elliot (this could be why so many people think something's up with him. Could be this, could be burnout per the autism theory (see separate post about that), could be both at the same time, who knows?)
-Jacob (people also wonder what the Scizor is going on with him and why he stares at people like a cat and looks like he never blinks)
-Fern (idk what to say about Fern tbh)
-Maybe even Evelyn?
Or maybe there's just crack in the pond water.
I bring yall a bit of fanart
So I experienced a thought:
(Landry family + Elliot at dinner in 2025)
Jacob: So, I'm thinking about going to Sawcon this year.
Del: What's Sawcon?
Elliot: *trying not to laugh*
Jacob: SAWCON DEEZ NUTS!!!
Elliot: *wheezing*
Kat: *glares at Elliot*
Del: *sighs* I should've seen that coming.
I think Jacob Landry would be fun to drink with tbhhh let him stay in the bar see what happens
