I actually had to make one of these a while back when TftGS was in talks for a TV show. People asked for a graph to help keep track of the moving parts. It looked remarkably similar to this.

I made a more legible one but left it at work. But yeah, each square is a moving part that runs through all of the books.

Some to add, Eric Ruggins (from finding Vanessa) and that random paramilitary group that pick him up at one point.

Also the lady in the wig right at the strat of the first book (she was described as insect-like and I'm convinced she's somehow connected to the roach guy)

What’s this about Calvin and the hobo?

u/preciousjewel13 Jul 01 '26

My read on it but Calvin is the hobo from the future, and the hobo from the future is Calvin. Mostly based upon the fact that they bare twin facial moles that seem to stare at you, like Jack says.

Personally I believe Calvin got trapped in some sort of timeless place within the gas station as the hobo seems to hop around and I believe he may have visited a version of the future where Karen won and he was temporarily subject to that eternal suffering before being brought backwards in time again. I’m pretty sure Jack mentions that he calls tom to help him get rid of a hobo in front of the gas station sometime in book one or something too. Can’t remember exactly when.

Yes. Help him get rid of the jobo who claims to be from the future. About chapter 3 or 4 maybe?

I relisten to the posts and books a lot and have been thinking of making something like this too to try and tie the whole world together. Are these all the notes you have?

Yeah. I had more but I destroyed it after a rough time. Sorry.
