Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
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
2x07 spoilers ahead!!! Fun fact Paramount+ wouldn't let me skip the recap.
Holy fuckshit
"Can ghosts have sex?" YES THEY CAN!
Rhonda walking in on Wally and Maddie like "oh my God ew" exactly how I'd have reacted if I walked in on that.
Mr. Martin can gargle my balls. I have run out of funny ways to express my hatred for that man. He will be sitting next to Grant Ward and Victor Augustine in hell for his crimes against Xavier (he was already close but the second he put his creepy ass hands on my favorite character he sealed his fate).
I don't have a lot of thoughts for the rest of the episode other than "WHAT THE FUCK??????"
Rhonda 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
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.
2x06 Spoilers ahead
JESUS FUCK THIS WAS AN EPISODE.
Ik I said this last week but Mr. Martin can Pokémon Go to hell. At the end of the episode I was like "oh HELL NO". I want to hit this man with a close range hyper beam and then max rockfall his ass into the ground.
Mr. Anderson seems to be taking all this shit surprisingly well, or he's just really good at pretending he's not a complete mess.
Sandra 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
Sheriff Baxter sitting on the desk made me laugh for some reason like that shouldn't have been funny but it was. Wally, Charley, Rhonda, and Quinn dancing was also funnier to me than it was probably supposed to be.
Charley and Yuri ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Ha! Gayyyyyyyy!
There's no way in hell Xavier's head ain't using Rapid Spin rn. Actually everyone's heads are using Rapid Spin.
2x05 Spoilers
HOLY PALKIA Y'ALL. My brain is not braining after this one. The feelings hit me like a Paldean Tauros. (Pardon my Pokémon puns)
First off, Charley x Yuri moments ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 (holy palkia I can do colors). I love them so much. "Out of the closet or the pottery room?" BOTH. I sat there watching them like "Ha! Gayyyyyyyy!"
Xavier was kinda funny. When he spilled the salt lmao. Also yes dude maybe remember to blink sometimes. On a more serious note one of the ghosts he saw when he about went *oof!* may have been Maddie's dad? 🥺🥺🥺
Rhonda 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 oh my Jod I felt things during all the scenes in the band room.
Maddie seeing the fire Jod damn that hurt.
Mr. Martin can Pokémon GO to hell. He stole Mr. Anderson's body and had the AUDACITY to go to Maddie's house like that (step on a Pincurchin dude) and gave Janet a copy of Fahrenheit 451 (only took me 2 tries to spell that right).
Can we get an F in the chat for Simon's phone? Rip.
Janet knows that Simon knows that she's not Maddie.
Let Susanna be gay Jod dammit!!!
I bring yall a bit of fanart
Since I've been updating the presentation I made about Elliot to include examples from season 3, including evidence of a key trait I was actually missing before (sensory issues). Holy Palkia guys I think this is the most thought I've ever put into a single headcanon for a single character. Never thought I'd be this hyperfixated on anything produced by Hallmark. Side note that reading a 1000 page PDF on a laggy ass school issued Chromebook sucks and I don't recommend doing that ever.
If Elliot actually IS autistic, he isn't diagnosed, and some of his behavior the last couple of seasons is at least partially the result of him being stressed and burnt out. Maybe, being that he's a teacher, he'll meet a student who is very similar to him and is diagnosed, and then be like "oh. OH. That explains a lot actually." Like I did about myself when working on this.
Man, I really did a whole presentation for an actual high school class to back up a headcanon lmao. To be fair I also, a couple years earlier, when I got to choose any science related topic to do a project on, proceeded to talk about moths for 10 minutes. You know, I could probably do a similar project about Kat and ADHD(eez nuts lol sorry) but I'd have to dig through 2 flash drives to see if I even still have the PDF of the entire DSM-5 stored somewhere from when I had to back up all my files from school before my account was shut down after I graduated.
So um headcanon update after 3x04"
Elliot is not on the spectrum, the spectrum is ON HIM
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
