Guys I think I got the wrong version of the game, I don't remember this being here the first time I played it

Jacob Alden rant #???

ok so the general consensus within the fandom is that if Jacob existed irl he would be like this guy from Evil Dead (which I cannot blame since carnivorekitty joked about this many times and the resembles, at least physically, are very on point)

BUUUUUT

if you asked me, I personally believe he would actually be like Jacob Singer from Jacob's ladder (1990)

mostly bc I see many paralelism between these characters that I think are worth to point out

aside from the obvious principal point (name), I think that he would very much like him if he existed in the first place

why? well, I think many schemes from Jacob Singer can be found also on Jacob Alden's side (HEAVY SPOILERS IF U HAVEN'T SEEN JACOBS LADDER YET)

physical appearence: although Eric from Evil Dead is likely a perfect Jacob real life appearence from the creator's drawings, I like to think he wouldn't LITERALLY look like he looks in fiction, he would have a more fluffly alike messy hair (ofc with the same length and tone as the canon version lol as well him conserving his beard) and a tetric countenance that matches with his lonesome personality and autodestructive obssesion. Both of them have this nerdy appearence of an anxious average worker man who tries to live with what they can (Eric's face is more of a normal, carefree guy than someone who's very disturbed) although Singer's side is more caotic and horrid due to his traumatic experience during his serving in the war, Alden on the other hand he's just a very introvert person who doesn't show many interest on superficial lookings

personality: Both of them are very anxious and disturbed persons, even though Singer isn't like that because of romantic obssesion or something like that, it is very telling their personalities in some point touch each other. During the movie, Singer experiments horrible and demonic hallucinations born from his PTSD that makes him think he's at the verge of death or that he's slowly going down to hell, this thought is backed up so much with his guilt about him serving in Vietnam's war, so basically he can be described as EXTREMELY paranoid even when the movie explains the reasons behind it. I like to say that Singer and Alden are contrasting on this point since yeah, they are both described to be paranoids, but at least in Singer's case he's like that because of his traumatic experience, Alden's case is somehow the same case but his traumatic experience is nowhere near the same as a traumatic experience in the war...or at least not of what we know of him yet.

mail: fun fact, Singer works as a mailman while Alden just steals ur mail to get more near to you lmao

Sarah: Both Singer and Alden had a relationship with someone named Sarah in the past, Singer was married with a woman named Sarah whom he had 3 kids, but they divorced when one of the kids died, while Alden had a childhood best friend named Sarah Galluci who also was his first crush but got rejected and also mocked by the same person.

age: Jacob's Ladder movie was out in the 90's, while Jacob Alden is specified to be on his late 20s-early 30s, making this to speculate he was born in sometime during early or late 90's. so maybe this would be some kind of paralelism or reference between the film's creation and Jacob's birthday, and this makes me go to the last point

possible inspirations: I like to think that sinistershrike was inspired w this movie or that they watched it at least once in their life and took many aspects of it to build Jacob's lore as we know it nowadays. Going back again with Sarah's point, it's very specific to think about two characters named Jacob who had failed relationships motivated by trauma or despair with someone named Sarah, although in Jacob's Ladder this aspect is motivated because of the religious subject that the movie helds up since Jacob and Sarah are biblical names (along with their dead child Gabe/Gabriel), but this gets me to the last reason to why I believe this is motivated by inspirations.

Remember when I mentioned that sinistershrike must have seen this movie at least once in their life? I said this because they were a proclamated Silent Hill fan, this is proven by many of the archived things before they shutted down all of their platforms

as well a drawing featuring Jacob doing cosplay of James Sunderland from SH2

aaaaand, what do you find out when you dig up a bit about Silent Hill's main inspirations?

YES, and this is a common fact within the SH fandom that almost everyone knows

not only the game's creation was inspired by the grotesque and religious hard ambiance of Jacob's Ladder film BUT ALSO JAMES SUNDERLAND SHARES INITIALS WITH JACOB SINGER

adding to the Silent Hill part and a bit unrelated with Jacob's Ladder side

fun fact, there's another character in Silent Hill that holds very hard resembles with Jacob Alden (and if u search fanarts of him u will likely end up misconfusing him with Jacob lol) his name's Walter Sullivan

so basically the pipeline would be like this

Jacob Singer>James Sunderland/Walter Sullivan>Jacob Alden

so yeah I'm like 99.9% sure that sinistershrike watched this movie motivated by their Silent Hill enthusiasm or at least grabbed many superficial aspects from both Silent Hill and this movie and put them on Jacob's character

and so, these are the reasons why I firmly believe Jacob from Jacob's Ladder is more near to be likely the irl version of Jacob Alden

thanks 4 coming to my ted talk I know it may sound very over elaborated and exaggerated, sorry for also deviating from Jacob's Ladder main point to talk abt Silent Hill and I wont blame u if u think I'm schizo or something but I like to grab myself onto this conspiranoic theory I made up myself (quitting aside all the lurking for love stuff, please watch Jacob's Ladder it's actually a very good movie and u will love it if u are a horror fan)

In my eyes, indisposed In disguises no one knows Hides the face, lies the snake In the sun in my disgrace Boiling heat, summer stench 'Neath the black, the sky looks dead Call my name through the cream And I'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun, won't you come And wash away the rain? Black hole sun, won't you come? Won't you come? Won't you come?

IMO they should make more yandere women like the bottom ones

like I'm pretty tired of the cute kawaii innocent looking yandere girl who turns out to be a fucking weirdo trope

gimme scary and weird looking yandere women who are actually not bad people at all they just don't know how to properly behave when they found a love interest (but God forbid if u dare to reject them)

Okay... Can somebody explain one thing to me?

Why yandere girls for male audience look all cute and pretty...

And yandere men, for female audience look like... Uhh... THIS?

BUT, when you actually play theese games, the cute girlies turn out as the most horrifying and crazy human beings you've ever interacted with, and scary guys turn out as actually caring partners, if you ignore their crazy side?
