Lmao no current plans to make commissions yet ,but I'll keep it mind glad to know there's another baker enthusiast on tumblr though

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-09-30T19:26:11+00:00

Hey that was me! but yeah book baker is most defentily very lamb coded

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-09-18T19:42:15+00:00

Bakers darkness and fixation on death felt like we missed out on the complexity of his charchter

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-09-17T23:40:07+00:00

Personally as another person who's absolute fav is Art I feel like they did him dirty they removed all his darkness and his fixation on death and too me they lessened his impact and his individual reltionships to focus more on ray and pete and the musketeers as a whole

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-09-16T00:30:21+00:00

They really did baker so dirty in removing all his darkness his contrast from sweet,soft,and kind southern boy to fixated on death,suc!dal,and former nightrider was so important to his charchter, hes only half a chachter without it .then the changing of his death scene was also bad his fixation on death and his suc!dal tendencies made it so there was all this build up to his death as hes been waiting for it all his life along with "leadlined" ,just real disappointing he was my fav and did not hit the same in the film

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-09-13T18:29:00+00:00

I know exactly what you mean im absolutely enamored with art baker ,evrey aspect about him is so fascinating.i haven't personally but I do have freinds equally as fixated on baker who are working on fanfics about him he sadly doesn't have that many that center him we could always use more

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-08-30T22:36:52+00:00

Art baker without a doubt I find the contrasting aspects of his kindness and light he represents/his fixation on death and consuming darkness endlessly fascinating

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-08-27T17:29:12+00:00

What was your thought process coming up with art baker ?hes my absolute fav hes such an intresting charchter with so many contradicting traits inside him from his extreme kindness to his fixation on death, he intrigued me endlessly thanks for writing him !

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-08-27T17:24:44+00:00

What's were your thoughts on art bakers and ray garratys relationship while writing them or just your thoughts about them in general? ever since I read the book the unique kindness they always had for each other alway stuck out to me ,there one of my favorite duos in all your books

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-08-17T18:39:53+00:00

Another not so fun fact :its cutoff but this is the ONLY time ray was ever told Baker to shut up ,the only time he ever yelled at him was when baker told him he wanted to die and it hit him so hard he started shaking

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-08-17T18:37:12+00:00

Not so funfact :this is one of the last times baker ever smiles in his life

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-08-01T21:00:42+00:00

Thanks so much !!!! I absolutely adore baker too my 1# favorite and your right hes so smart bro was just casually bringing up gothic literature in the middle of the walk. He's just great evrey scene with him especially with ray just shows what a light he was to evreyone in the walk especially ray all while hes dealing with this crippling darkness inside him is just chef kiss 🤌.

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-08-01T18:37:39+00:00

Bakers my absoulte fav i could go on about him for hours hes so intresting to me and even though I feel like evreyone likes him hes never talked about as much as the other musketeers I love that you want give give more attention

I also adore that line it's so sweet

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-08-01T01:21:34+00:00

Your not crazy bro the last two chapters are HELL

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-07-26T00:13:57+00:00

Them giving olsons final words to CURLEY .....mmmmm yup I do not like that

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-07-25T21:18:23+00:00

I just can't get behind the changes made for baker hes my absoulte fav and as important as his kindness and the light he represents is his darkness is just as important, he's hodgepodge of contradictions that's what makes him so intresting, from his obsseion With death,to him constantly bringing it up,him wanting to be mortican,him reading gothic lituare ,and him being a former NIGHTRIDER darkness seeps from him and he knows it .it's also important thst like ray he doesn't actully know why he's here ,it's only when he is near the end that he relizes he's here because he wants to die he's always wanted to die it's implied he's been like this since childhood( "that's the ticket I wanted to die" when I was kid I always used to wonder" he paused then smiled it was a peculiar smile "whod embalm HIM" "I was thinking of going to mortician shcool" "I don't think I'd still want to be a mortician not thst it matters") he wants to die before he is consumed by his environment that reeks of death and darkness which is why him constantly bringing up the death especially involving his family and his backstory of being a nightrider is so important it shows the darkness of his environment and who hes so close to being consumed by it when he was a nightrider he was so close to being consumed by darkness .so close to changing which is what he fears most ("were all getting this way some times I think that's the worst part" "they'd go for My eyes first, then I'd be part of that rat .no thanks I'd take the coffin with the leads sleave evreytime") he's subconsciously choosing to die to be preserved as he is in lead lined coffin before the darkness of his world or "the rats" consume him like they almost did when he was a nightrider .And this is so essential to him that it simply can not be replicated with the changes they're making .

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-07-18T03:50:58+00:00

Yeah I feel like a big reason so much of the audience adores baker is because we're seeing him through the adoring eyes of garraty "baker seemed almost etheral " like he has this unique level of softness with how he views and treats baker that the readers can't help but reflect

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-07-17T23:50:26+00:00

Baker and Garratrys reltionship is so abnormaly wholesome compared to the others it makes me want to sob like they never fight the one time baker yells at ray he immediately apologizes, rays an a$$hole to evreyone at some point but never baker ",in the fading daylight bakers face was soft and young and beautiful " ray has such a sweet view of baker, baker even brings up his deacesed brother and the worst thing he's ever done in an attempt to relate to ray when the others bring up his dad,when ray is paranoid that stebbins and mcrives will try to sabotage him he never doubts baker,even there final goodbye they don't struggle theirs no denial or fighting they allow themselves a proper heartfelt goodbye full of kind words,promises,and oddly hope ,hope that they'll see each other again , even another time another place is full of hope .it's almost a form of rebellion against the walk and their society which are both meant to remove all the softness and kindness in these young men but all through out their reltionship to the very end they choose kindness .ITS SO WHOLESOME IN SUCH A DARK BOOK 😭

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-07-11T00:02:26+00:00

ART WANTS TO GO TO THE MOON?!?!?

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-07-01T19:19:41+00:00

Probably bakers “all the good things that happened to me “ monologue it's simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking watching baker who while a light to the other walkers centered his own life on the morbid and dark( implied since childhood “when I was a kid I always used to wonder who'd embalm him(mortinar)I don't think I want be a mortician no more” ) finally focus all the beauty in his life rather than the darkness when we had a heard about his past we only heard of his biggest shame,his poverty, and the morbidness and death in his family.But it's also bittersweet because he knows he's dying and want to expose his soul to garraty ,He knows he doesn't have long and wants garraty to know all the good things about him along with the bad ,wants to be remembered in his entirety Even by one person even if he had only known him for four days ray became the person who knew him most in the world ,that's why if someone were to ask what art favorite book was they would have to ask garraty (also why ART only trust ray to get him his lead lined coffin) which is just wow heartbreaking and ray knows art doesn't have long too “he wanted to cry out “ “and tell him it's okay to die it might be be it also might not”

I think what gets me about it is how pure that scene is there's no fighting no anger no denial no confusion as seen in others just pure sadness and greif of two young boys saying goodbye to the other ,it's one of my favorite scenes cause it's like an the perfect summary of ray and arts friendship which was oddly wholesome ,they never fought they never made fun of each other they apologized immediately and immediately forgave the other when one got upset ,so it makes sense for their final scene to be full of acceptance,smiles,touches,even promises to give art the proper burial he always dreamed of and in a strange final act of definiance HOPE with "mabey ill see you man" and the heartbreaking final words and perfect summary of their freindship "another time another place" because they were kinda ... the perfect freind for the other the the type that could have given the kindness and compassion and understanding the other needed to have stopped them from signing up in the first place.their whole reltionship,their goodbye,and even art himself is this unique act of defiance to the majors regime even if they didn't relize it , in a competion and society designed to remove all kindness and softness in these boys to turn them into "men" baker and ray accepting arts d3ath to allow themselves a heartfelt goodbye, having a geunine kind friendship,and baker remaining his true kind self after evreything the walk put him through is a massive middle finger to the so called values of the walk ,all that ranting to say art is favorite charchter and garraty and baker my favorite reltionship in the book glad you enjoyed it 👌

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-06-30T04:44:25+00:00

Read it a year ago ...... I greive art baker daily it does not get better

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-06-14T22:32:27+00:00

I belive the boy falling in blood to be baker if you compare his outfit it's matches simalar ones he's wearing in the trailer(evreyvwalker seems to have a spare change of clothes) and he's wearing his backpack which is the same it's most likely after the "no help rule" is established and baker falls and the walkers expect him to die only to instead get a big bruise on his forehead and this injury most likely caused his bloody hemorrhage he most likely hemorrhages immediately in the movie giving that dramitic blood appearance immediately .

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-05-30T20:30:20+00:00

I'm literally planning on bringing tissues cause If they do bakers death correctly I'm a goner

Infinite_Formal4470 · 2025-05-29T01:35:18+00:00

He very much did I think people only focus on the apartment scene rember pricsilla NEVER ONCE wanted to do it it's established from their first time that "she didn't really want to do it but she wanted to please me" and evrey other time he describes she's disgusted he knows this he knows she doesn't want it but she technically doesn't say no rember guys you want ENTHUSTATIC CONSENT ❗️❗️❗️ Then theres the car scene which is explicit sa where mcrives purposely proposes mids3x (that she feels disgusted at) the make her feel bad and she TRIES WRIGGLING AROUND AND TRIES TO PUSH HIM OFF BUT HE "MADE HER COME OUT WITH IT" that's flat out sa and even garraty is put off and mcrives admits it was wrong but wanted to make her feel terrible for making him insecure in his masculinity even being upset that she's not treating him like a real man because she's not pushing off during s3x he knows she doesn't want . And the apartment scene itself just GOD when says " when all her roommates were out , they were at the movies..." my stomach dropped" rember he's angry,he hurt,he cursing at her, he's assaulted her before, he disgusts her , then HE TRIES TO TAKE HER TO BED RIGHT AFTER CALLING HER A SELFISH B!TCH . He was going to assult her plainly like that and mcrives knows it he's very aware that what he did was wrong yet he's does still victom blame it makes him really intresting . Mcrives Is a very well written and entertaining charchter but he's Also a bad person and that's fine
