A fictional poet once said: “Beyond the shadow you settle for there is a miracle Illuminated. I will not settle for a shadow. I will find the miracle. Through the night.” // Alan Wake 2 Final Draft
AKA: i made a new phone background instead of studying for my finals last night (worth it)

Alan: So you created me based on your own looks.
Tom: Yes.
Alan: So I'm an American novelist looking like a Finnish poet/filmmaker/actor.
Tom: Yes.
Alan: And because it would be implausible if I had a Finnish accent, you gave me a different voice from an American voice actor.
Tom: Yes.
Alan: How did you come up with all of that wild stuff??
Tom: *points at Sam Lake who's sitting across the table, sipping coffee*

Things I would like to see more discussion about regarding Alan Wake 2 #2: Tom The Poet
Funny how the poster for the movie was remade in the remaster... to the exact same texture as seen in the second game.
The tale of whether Tom The Poet came before Thomas the Filmmaker, was an aspect of him or something Alan made up entirely based on what objects he could find in the Bird-Leg Cabin, is as much a chicken or the egg problem as "how much power do the Old Gods actually have if Ahti considers them equals?" and is lacking a definiteive answer (thus far).
At least know this: in AW1, this poster exists solely to summon the Light Presence in the shape of the diver to guide Wake onwards. Everything else was lore'd up post factum.

I decided to do a collection of Tom's poetry in PDF from this site 'cause he quoted at least two of those poems in the game directly. For it I made this cover.
I think it's pretty.

I wanna know what Tom Zane does all day long. I wanna know what he eats and drinks and what little films he makes with his home equipment and which pieces of clothing he has and which music he listens to and how many cigarettes he smokes a day and what his favorite drink is. I wanna EAT him
