Hello from the hallowoods is really good at paralels between characters

the hfth brainrot is going strong and I need to take a bit to rant about how good all of the parralels between all of the characters are because oh my good mx wellman you truly outdid yourself on them

Riot-The Misters R&W-Moth: all three spent their entire time since the black rain in bunkers, only to be forced to leave

Riot-Clara-Moth: all three spent their time isolated in their respective safe houses with their families, only for something to go terribly wrong and them being forced to flee. They lose their parents, but after leaving all found a new mentor/father figure to teach them how to become strong enough to survive

Clara-Olivier: kinda obvious basicaly everybody references how clara is slowly becoming the new olivier and in the season 3 finale they make it even more clear by saying that blackletter didnt even remove olivier from the plan. also both dated riot

Walt-Bern: both were survivors in the woods but while walt used compassion and understanding, bern initialy refused to believe either diggory or olivier should be allowed to survive

Soloman-Irene: both were masters of the dark arts who attempted to reanimate the dead

The Resting Place crew-The Grand Crossroads crew: a group of a renagade devil, a powerful creature animated by the black rains, and a woman who takes her power from another indiscribably who acts as a lancer and supporter of the devil

The Countess-The Count: kinda obvious dont think I need to explain this one

Diggory-Cindy: connection to rizwana and dedication to stopping the end of the world

Diggory-Mort: deceased members of Rizwanas doomed expedition who in the end have to choose which one of them will die saving the world

Diggory-Creep: beings who have stolen the memories of Rizwanas expedition mixed with the black water

Friday-Penny: both have luck based powers that cause them to remain trapped and isolated being tormented for years

Nikignik-Ethel: both communicate stories through dreams, but LEM uses it to talk about herself and tell her own story, while Nik barely ever talks about it, especialy in season 1

Walt&Riot-Winona&Alena: young person with older mentor with a special sword

Ray-Gale-Bill: Moths 3 father figures, each of which take a different approach towards raising moth

Buck&Rick-Hector&Jonah: another pretty simple one

Jonah-Faceless King-Rat King: three kings of the end with three different perspectives on what that means for them

Marolmar-Nikignik-Xizikxiz: watch starcrossed gods please even if you have never watched a single episode of the show before I am begging you its so good

Al-Percy: the two ghosts, both only have one friend who can ever see them and carries their instrument around and a bad single parent

Ms Wicker-Indrid: both mothers who join the church of the hallowed name and have a chance to save their son from the spring service

Riot-Clementine: I really should not need to explain this one

I could go on for literal hours but literaly you can choose any two characters and their stories will parralel each other in some way and let you see something new/unique about how each handles their situation in contrast to the other.

If you have not watched HFTH please do so it is genuinely the best podcast if not the best story I have ever seen(or heard? its a podcast so im not sure what proper terminolodgy would be)

[ID:  A page titled ‘The Quilt’ with two illustrations of the character from Hello from the Hallowoods.  The Quilt is a mummy-like figure wrapped in strips of cloth and leather, which trail dramatically around it.  It has a skull-like face with no nose and a gaping jaw with only a few teeth.  It has hollow eye sockets except for a green light in one and a red light in the other.  A strip of fabric is wrapped around its forehead, and swirls around its shoulders.  The first illustration is a full-body shot of The Quilt, who reaches one hand outstretched towards the viewer.  Its feet dangle beneath it, as if it is floating.  The second illustration is a close-up of the creature holding a hand of cards.  Its left hand is raised with another card held between two fingers.  Above this drawing is a sticky note that states: “Warning: Talented card player.”

The second page is written in blocky, all-caps handwriting, titled ‘The Quilt,’ followed by the below text:

Dangerous?  Uncertain

Sentient?  Full sentience– can be reasoned with.

Encounter location:  The Resting Place hotel.

Description:  I have to admit that the Quilt is an alarming creature.  It appears to have been human at one point or another based on what remains of its figure, but I can’t be sure about that.  Things are strange around here.  It also has a very interesting way of communicating that I can’t make heads or tails of, so this entry is a difficult one.  The others at the Resting Place have full conversations with it, though, so it can certainly communicate, and it does understand when it’s spoken to.  The communication breakdown must be on my end.  The Countess is at least polite enough to translate when asked.  Appearance-wise, it’s pretty grisly.  It’s skeletal and wrapped in bandages and leather from head to toe.  The leather might be remnants of skin it had in life.  I think it could be a revenant considering it has the green glow in one of its eyes.  It’s got red in there too, so maybe not.  The jaw is unhinged on its face, and it can’t seem to close it.  It basically always looks like it’s screaming.  On the upside, it doesn’t seem malicious.  I’ve been to The Resting Place a number of times, and have never had an issue with it.  it seems plenty content to play cards with the rest of the patrons.

Abilities:  None known currently.

Connections:  They seem to frequent the Resting Place Hotel.  I have seen them in the presence of Barb, the Countess, and the Diamond Rider.  /end ID]
