Will Byers & Laura Palmer Part 2 - Henry & BOB

Part 1

One big parallel between Will and Laura is the similarities between their tormentors: Henry and BOB. There are many connections between both characters, which is why I’ve separated it into its own post.

TW for discussions of child sexual abuse below

Originating from an alternate world called the Black Lodge, BOB is a vengeful spirit that feeds off of the pain and sorrow of others. BOB operates very similarly to how Henry used the Mind Flayer in seasons two and three, by possessing people and using them to commit horrific acts.

BOB, like Henry, is a bit like a hive mind. The people who have fallen victim to BOB live within The Red Room, similar to Henry's Mind Lair.

BOB sexually abuses Laura, haunts her nightmares and wishes to possess her or else he will kill her. In Fire Walk With Me, Laura says that BOB has been coming to her since she was twelve years old, which is the same age that Will was when he was taken by Henry. (Although, a line in The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer suggests that BOB may have been around her for awhile)

This post by @bylrndgm shows a visual similarity between BOB's stalking of Laura and Henry's stalking of Will (via Mind Flayer)

The human being that BOB had possessed in order torment her was Laura's own father, Leland.

Laura's mother, Sarah, was unaware of this nightly abuse, although part of this was because Sarah would be drugged at night by Leland. The show portrays Leland as more or less another victim of BOB, helpless in his situation, however FWWM frames Leland as having a lot more agency in his actions than was previously shown.

These posts here show similarities between Sarah and Joyce

This post I made shows the parallels between the scene where the kids trick and entrap a possessed Billy in ST3 and the scene where the police trick and entrap a possessed Leland in TP

The name similarity between Lonnie and Leland is pretty clear. As for Lonnie's sexual abuse of Will, it's much more discreet than how Leland/BOB's was shown. Instead of going into detail here I'm going to leave a couple of posts I already made here and here. Even aside from Lonnie's hinted abuse, sexual assault imagery between Henry and Will is still present and much more overt.

It's interesting the Bob we get in Stranger Things is not only correlated with Will's father but also with his possession. Bob takes up the role of Will's father figure in his life, and him trying to give fatherly advice to Will inadvertently led to his possession. Not only that, but Will's possession scene is intercut with shots of Bob. (Of course, Bob here is not evil unlike BOB)

So what does this all mean in terms of Will's arc in the show?

I already made a post before discussing my belief in Lonnie's larger part in Will's narrative. Now, I don't think that Lonnie's abuse of Will came from being possessed by Henry, he was definitely acting of his own volition. I do think, however, that there may be a similar reveal as to who the monster in Will's life really is.

In TP, the audience knows that BOB is Laura's killer for awhile. What the audience didn't know until much later, though, was that Leland was the one who was possessed by him and carried out the act of killing his own daughter.

The audience knows that Henry is the monster in Will's life. What they may not know about is the extent of Lonnie's abuse. Furthermore, Will himself may not even be aware of this. Laura knew that BOB had been abusing her, but she didn't know that it was her father until the events of FWWM.

This is related to the idea of Will's missing memories. These memories are likely tied to his father's abuse, as I said in the birthdaygate post I linked earlier. Will is going to have to confront these memories in some way. He probably believes that the only monster in his life is Henry and, like Laura, is going to learn the truth about his father.

Now, Henry is still the "big bad" of the show and his abuse of Will is still apparent, I once had someone think that I was trying to claim that Lonnie was the main antagonist of the show so I wanted to be clear on that. I do, however, still believe that Lonnie is definitely a major antagonist in Will's life and integral to the story.

There are always differences of course, these are two different stories with two different goals. BOB is a mysterious inhuman spirit who is purely evil, while Henry has human origins and his story is building to be much more complex than that. Will, fortunately, is also more likely to have a happier end than Laura. Instead of losing to the evil, he will overcome it.

Your Twin Peaks fun fact of the day

Day #6

Lots of actors apart from Frank Silva, who played Bob, were cast rather spontaneously or Lynch created new characters because he was impressed by their acting. Here are some examples:

Harry Goaz, who played Andy Brennan, worked as a driver in LA where he met Lynch while driving him to a Roy Orbison memorial center. When Lynch he found out Goaz studied acting he decided to cast him for the role of Andy.

Sheryl Lee, who played both Laura Palmer and Maddy Ferguson, was only supposed to appear as Laura's body. When filming the home video with Donna, Lynch was impressed with her acting and created the role of Maddy so she could be a regular in the series.

Mädchen Amick, who played Shelly Johnson, originally auditioned for the part of Donna, which ultimately went to Lara Flynn Boyle. But Frost and Lynch were so impressed by her that they created the role of Shelly just for her.

In conclusion Lynch and Frost are geniuses who can come up with amazing well-rounded characters out of thin air.

Day twenty-four: Would you like to play with fire?

My original sketch for this prompt included all the characters relating to the arson plot (Ben Horne, Catherine, Josie, Hank, Leo) but I thought that was too ambitious and I also hate most of them and didn’t want to spend precious drawing time on that. At the bottom I was going to have BOB crawling out of the flames of the mill so I simplified the drawing to just that.

ID: A black and white drawing. At the top center is text that reads, “would you like to play with fire?“. Below that is a drawing of BOB emerging from flames.

Vecna’s Four Victims / BOB’s Four Victims

Hello!! I found yet another Twin Peaks parallel so I’m gonna talk about it.

So Vecna has four victims in the show, similar to how BOB has four victims in TP. For both cases, these aren’t their only victims, but they do focus on these four.

For Vecna it’s Chrissy, Fred, Patrick and Max. For BOB it’s Teresa, Laura, Ronette and Maddy.

For both of them, they kill three but then only come close to killing another. Ronette and Max both narrowly escape being completely killed and end up in comas.

Furthermore, both BOB and Vecna’s victims end up trapped in red spaces; BOB’s victims end up in the Red Room and Vecna’s victims end up in his red mind lair.

Admittedly, there aren’t that many other direct parallels between both sets of victims, although I did make a post going in detail about the parallels between Chrissy and Laura, which I believe are deliberate.

However, there is a similarity with all of the victims being teenagers, all of which do things which the killer deem “bad.” Both killers aim to essentially absorb their victims.
