#loom game

Every once in a while I catch a snippet of a song from Swan Lake and I promptly and enthusiastically fall back in time to 1990 and the first piece of media that I was ever a fan of: Loom. Looking at Bobbin now and I really wonder if this has anything to do with why I A) love drawing eyes so much and B) just adore a good hooded cloak. Maybe a little? Maybe a tad. Possibly a dash.

Bobbin Threadbare from Loom?

Bobbin Threadbare does not have a Ryu Number.

(explanation below)

Look, I was really considering letting the difference of one "b" go. And maybe I would have, were it not for the fact that he's back in Return to Monkey Island, and, well,

If Gilbert and crew wanted to specify he was Cob, they would have, and they didn't. He's Cobb, and if I'm going to be stickler about names elsewhere, I'm going to be a stickler here, if only to try to be consistent.

But hey, what the hell. If you want, Bobbin can have a Ryu Number of 5.

me: Loom was a pretty interesting game but probably not something that would hold as dear a place in my heart as the Monkey Island nostalgia

me three days later: anyway I haven’t managed to stop thinking about this 30 year old game

Loom came out in 1990 (so before i was even alive lmao) and was already pretty outdated when i played it for the first time, but i absolutely adore the game. It feels like being told a fairytale and I like the simplicity of the gameplay.

I’m aware that this is some obscure fanart but I really felt like creating something for this game when I replayed it last week.
