IM SHAKING HELLO
I've thought about it and i agree Hickey is a great Stebbins counterpart!
Not only since he lasts so long but yes, also the "I know more than you sheeple, haha, idiots. I'm special. I'm the rabbit. I'm not even human. Here's a wisdom for you that i just made up. Fuck you." Overall messing with people, Acting all smug, Calculating everything And Lasting so long, In/directly causing someone's death... Then it turns out that he is human after all. He can hurt. He can die. Hickey 😌
And ofc Crozier is Garraty, yeah! The last one standing. The one who wins, but not really. He survives The Horrors and for what? All his friends are dead.
There are some more vibes based counterparts I have ^^ Though I'm not sure abt those as much.
Olsen feels really like Collins. Something something suffering for so long, alone, with an altered awareness, and then dying in a horrible carnage with guts spilling all over.
Scramm feels like Blanky. A wife waiting at home... A fun-loving guy who everybody likes. A guy who's slowly dying, yet keeping calm. Who leaves his friends only to walk towards death, accepting it. He'd be better friends with Crozier, than their counterparts, though.
Pearson is Bridgens, I don't make the rules. Deciding to lie down to write poetry and simply die, if that isn't Bridgens coded, idk what is.
Same with Harkness - Peglar. Again, I don't make the rules. He's keeping all the notes on things that happen? Peglar.
I so want to assign Fitzjames to McVries, but for some reason my brain itches with it, not in a good way. Idk why. But I suppose it fits.
Also. Consider. Tuunbaq as the halftrack-
I was cooking with the Long Walk Terror crossover damn... I need to draw something but my weekend will be really busy, so here are some thoughts on the first 3 dead at least.
(The Long Walk is abt 100 teenage boys volunteering in a walking competition. They walk without stopping and when they stop or walk too slowly they get warnings. After the 3rd warning they get shot dead. The 1 boy left alive wins the "Prize")
Thoughts below.
Torrington gets his ticket first ofc. He has No idea how he passed the entry exams in the first place and why they chose him, but by the time he realises what it really means, it's too late to back out. Gets shot just a few miles from the start, walking up a hill.
Jartnell gets his ticket soon after, begging Tom to continue - to win the prize and care for their family. Tom nearly gets shot too and has to be dragged away by Magnus and Strong after his 3rd warning is announced.
Everyone thinks Braine will last long, but then he gets a charley horse and can't keep up the pace. This is only a few hours after they walk out.
#The long walk au#I posted this thinking nobody has even read the thing but!!!!! Hi!!!#I adore this book!!
