i really do wonder what all of johnny's enemies are going to slather all their deathtraps with once the comics reach, uh [googles when people Figured Out about asbestos, gets distracted by the appalling yet not surprising timeline on all that] well anyway like not that villains would care if the human torch got mesothelioma but for their own health when preparing these traps if nothing else. like flying blind here i have no hint as to whether asbestos man is a one-off or some minorly iconic character. johnny's own personal paste-pot pete for all i know. but if he never shows up again maybe there is a retroactive and grim in-universe reason for that.
#ff#this also makes me wonder about...#like what i've vaguely heard of marvel's approach to Time is that#everything that happened in previous comics happened just in increasingly modern time periods#and i'm curious about how that applies to stuff like asbestos man. or the FF's origin being like “we gotta go to space to beat the commies”#ok i mean i'm not really curious about the latter because. that is not an inextricable motivation.#but asbestos man.

#spidey#i got distracted and wandered away two times while trying to post this#to the point of forgetting that i hadn't actually posted it and had left it in my drafts (for a few minutes)#so spidey again some problem actually. wherein problem is brain needs kickstarting.

niche and useless neural connection i've just realized: the breekon and hope delivery dudes ring the same bell as boris and rat from tales from alderwood. obviously shady but also it's not clear what exactly their actual Deal is or if they are truly Malicious
#statement regarding a horror podcast#webcomics tag#boris and rat being at the forefront of my awareness because they are currently getting the shit kicked out of them.#not fully equivalent vibes seeing as boris and rat did not let a dude get eaten by a coffin (as far as we know.)#and probably about to diverge even more since the next TMA episode is likely to finally elaborate on B&H's deal#while B&R's vibe in turn has the vibe of Purely Aesthetic Dressing Over Completely Innocuous Behavior#(and also has an imminent explanation)

i do like the idea of the audience of a horror story being an eldritch abomination to the characters in that story
#statement regarding a horror podcast#i don't know if that's where the whole deal of the eye is going#like being that overtly Metafictional about it#but there's the clear inherent parallel in any case.#average whump enjoyer on tumblr: love to put blorbo in a blender! ^_^#blorbo with in-universe awareness of this adoring malice: D:#or even putting aside the Suffering. just the fact that fictional characters do not have Privacy from an audience.#Ceaseless Watcher = fanatically vacuuming up every crumb of trivia and screentime

coming perilously close to learning enough about the powers that my homestuck lobe starts itching to map them onto SBURB aspects

coming perilously close to learning enough about the powers that my homestuck lobe starts itching to map them onto SBURB aspects
#statement regarding a horror podcast#an impulse i imagine is experienced by basically anyone who is a fan of both pieces of media.#the eye = light#which i guess makes the stranger void#even though The Lonely Empty Silence (still don't know what this one is) would probably ostensibly be more fitting.#the desolation = rage#the end = doom#i am dragged away from this post by a cane but not before i cry out “jonathan sims = rose lalonde”#(elias = doc scratch?? hm. too soon to tell.)

this is devastating actually, i time traveled just to see what people on tumblr had to say on this episode when it came out and it was just a bunch of discussion of the Lore and Plot implications. no love or even acknowledgment for my guy who was so oblivious to the horrors that the horrors had to invite him back for a second go of it
i love you sebastian the unobservant plumber
#statement regarding a horror podcast#nary a shitpost reaction??#i get it was a very Lore Drop episode but i am as immune to Lore as my dude is to Decapitation Mannequin Party.#maybe tumblr's date operator just isn't as thorough as i was hoping though.

my other season-2-so-far note: the Continuity sure is kicking in, huh! unfortunate for me, Retainer Of Fuck All!
and i can't even blame it on the longass random breaks between my bursts of binging, because when agnes showed up for the... see, i was going to say second time, but it's not even the second time, it was the third time, that's how little i remembered her. and when she showed up for that third time i had already forgotten her name from not even 10 episodes prior despite probably having listened to that episode literally the day before.
i'm realizing now this is probably the number one cause of accidental self-spoilers because i keep checking the wiki to find out what previous episodes Blorko Jones showed up in and peripherally gleaning that they are the avatar of The Fuckening or whatever.
#statement regarding a horror podcast#spoils of my spoilers: i now know they are called Fears or The Fears or something#The Flesh (all the Meat Horror i am assuming)#The Corruption (formerly known as The Hweeyermz)#The End (? i think this is one? just straight up death?)#The Stranger (mentioned in-podcast so this one's not actually from a spoiler)#and more of my guesses:#The Dark. The. The Darkness. It's Pretty Straightforward.#The Claustrophobia But Like A Cool Esoteric Name For It To Match The Vibe.#The Stick Figure Violence Moodboard.#not sure if The Sky That Eats You is more The Big Empty Silence Loneliness or The Entrancing Vertigo or its own thing.#also i guessed at The Spiral being The Entrancing Vertigo but maybe it is actually The Evil Corn Maze.#but maybe The Evil Corn Maze is The Claustrophobia.#well that's enough shittily-informed fear taxonomy i have the final three episodes of season 2 to return to.

at first i figured it was just something to buy in on, alongside the non-diegetic soundtrack and the idea that every ass person giving a statement would be able to bust out elegant and gripping and coherent and at times philosophical descriptions of The Literal Horrors they underwent, but given the number of things he's been owned about by this point, i do wonder if someone is eventually going to bring up just how much Pussy jon has been putting into the voice acting. such as: the fact that there is voice acting at all.
#statement regarding a horror podcast#<- magnusposting tag now that the seal has been cracked on this as a topic#the switch (in either direction) between Embodying The Statement Giver and Bitchy Normal Self does not get old.#it is a gap moe charm point delight.#i'm enjoying this silly dude.#enough to make observations about him that i'm sure everyone and their eerie doppelganger has long snuffled every facet out of.#but i just like that he got over his Skeptic Bravado Bitch Shtick so he had to acquire a new foible this season to ensure#that he always has a ridiculous mental pretzel going on at all times.#such as this arc of: i need to do everything by myself and not trust any of my concerned friends [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]#which it must be made clear is not drowned out by the [technically correct chime] of not!sasha.

#ff#still not beating the roxy lalondeism.#i could improve it by even just not drawing her eyes that way but surely i cannot capitulate on that.#surely homestuck characters do not own upper eyelid only stylization.#well anyway. them.

my season 1 listening experience (90% paying attention while also playing supertux):
#statement regarding a horror podcast#i wanted to be Piecing Together The Mysteries but unfortunately as i've mentioned before my Fiction Detective skills are nil#+ the way i listen to this podcast (alternating between a bajillion episodes a day or weeks between episodes)#makes it difficult to notice Chekhov's Names Of Fucking Anything Or Anybody Ever#+ the difficulty multiplier of Retaining Information Conveyed Purely Through Audio#(i keep the transcripts open but i am coinflip assed to consult them.)#osmosis knowledge carried into this podcast: there are “avatars”? each representing Something and having a name like The [Whatever].#i don't know how many there are but my guess at some of them based on what i've noticed so far:#The Hweeyermz.#The Hot Hot Fire Ouchie.#The Big Lonely Silence Emptiness. (might be combining some?)#and The Web. (name accidentally gleaned from the wiki)#also i think there is one called The Spiral? (osmosis knowledge)#but i don't know what that one is if so.#maybe that's like entrancing vertigo shit.
