[boombox-fuckboy]

Hi!

I have been following this blog for a while now and I love using it to find new podcasts. I was wondering, if you have time, what you think is the scariest podcast you've listened to or what your favorite horror podcasts might be? Thank you, and I hope you have a great day :)

I'm so glad to have helped you find new shows!

I don't really get scared by horror podcasts (not sure why. It isn't some "I'm tough" thing, I get startled by the toaster, and it's not like I never feel unsettled or concerned or icked out at podcasts, just not scared) so I'm not sure I can give you a good answer on that one, but I'll gladly give you ten of my personal favourites instead:

Alice Isn't Dead: The podcast that got me into podcasts. A truck driver travels the USA looking for her wife, who until recently, she had thought was dead. Along the way she has all manner of strange encounters, and sees a side to the world that few truely comprehend.

Archive 81: A young archivist takes a job at a remote outpost organising and digitising a collection of tapes. On the tapes is a series of interviews and investigations made by a social worker in the 90s as she becomes familiar with a bizzare apartment building. The archivist, naturally, has an increasingly bad time. Each season is part of the same story, but they're all a bit different.

Ghost Wax: Recorded interviews conducted by the last surviving necromancer, and various people who died under seemingly otherworldly circumstances.

Hello From The Hallowoods: Supernatural and cosmic horror. A powerful and dramatic entity visits your nightmares to relay stories of the people (to varying degrees of both human and alive) who inhabit the beautiful and deadly Hallowoods. What start off as individual stories quickly connect to a larger narrative.

Hi Nay: A supernatural horror following a young woman named Mari, who's babaylan (shaman) family background draws her into helping people with various horrific supernatural problems around Toronto. Formatted as phone calls to her mother telling her what's happened.

I Am In Eskew: Often-horrific stories from a man living in something that very much wishes to be a city, and a private investigator who was, in her words, hired to kill a ghost. Many people seem to agree this one is scary.

Janus Descending: A xenoarcheologist and a xenopaleontologist are sent to investigate and sample the ruins of a long-dead alien city, and discover more than they anticipated. The format for this one is really clever: you hear her audio logs first to last, and his last to first, and the story is all the more heartbreaking for it. I'd recommend listening to the supercut.

The Lost Cat Podcast: A man befriends strange entities, loses bits of himself and drinks an awful lot of wine while looking for his cat. Soft and cosmic horror.

The Moon Crown: The shortest on this list, but also one of the most fascinating. A disgraced scribe living in a city of humans, beasts, and other bizzare entities, begins to recount recent happenings, and actions she has a hard time explaining, on broadcast. But the people she's hoping to reach might not be the ones listening.

The Silt Verses: In a modern world where gods are plentiful, both illicit and commercialised, two disciples of an outlawed river god go on a pilgrimage.

Although, maybe some other listeners can help me out and share what scared them?

[sleepyking]

As an avid Spiderman fan, here’s my contribution to the glassspider/redspider au

So consider; charminghearts spiderverse au

I think Red as Miles Morales would work well in the long run, especially for the second movie(slight spoilers for Into the Spiderverse under the cut)

It obviously wouldn’t be exactly like the spiderverse movies, but I feel like something similar could be cool

First of all, Maddox would be the Uncle Aaron—he’s Red’s only friend, and her escape from her home life. He does fun(and dangerous) stuff with her—stuff that she would never get to do without him.

Instead of different versions of Spiderman from multiple different universes brought to Red’s universe, I think it would be cool if it was at least sort of time travel related.

I have a couple ideas for how this could happen:

One is that people from the past are displaced through time, bringing people like Bridget, Ella, and maybe some of the younger VKs to the current timeline.

Another Red and Chloe are displaced through time, being sent to the past like they are in Rise of Red, but they have no idea why they’re there or how they can get back.

Or Red(and maybe the QoH) are sent to a different universe—Chloe’s universe. Maybe QoH was in something kind of like Into the Spiderverse, and was sent to that alternate universe when she was younger, where she met Ella. Maybe she never wanted to go back, because back in her universe, she had no friends, nobody that cared about her.

And besides, she fell in love in this place, why would she want to leave?

But there was a problem: the glitching.

Bridget wasn’t from that universe, so the universe itself was actively trying to get her out—she didn’t belong there, and if she stayed too long, it could destroy her and everyone around her.

So Ella, who both didn’t want to die and didn’t want her only friend to die, tried to find a way to send Bridget back.

She became distant, sometimes completely ignoring her friend.

But when that didn’t work, she had to try something else—something that, no matter how positive the person would break their spirit and make them hate whoever did it.

What did she do? I haven’t figured that out yet.

So Bridget found a way to leave, broken and mad at the world.

What Ella didn’t know was that she would end up creating a monster.

Maybe Maddox works at a place like Oscorp, and they developed something that could, hypothetically, time travel.

And, of course, Red steals it, because why wouldn’t she take something that might be able to change her mother?

But before she can use it, she’s sent to another universe, where she meets one Chloe Charming, AKA GlassSpider.

What Chloe doesn’t know is that Red happens to also be a hero with spider superpowers.

But Ella notices something off about her daughter’s new friend, and she recognizes her, because she knew Bridget more than Bridget knew Bridget.

The time travel happens.

Plot twist: Ella used to be GlassSpider, and Bridget? Bridget was her biggest fan.

Eventually, Bridget finds out that her best friend is the new hero, and she was ecstatic.

Or maybe she finds out after GlassSpider does something terrible.

She’s distraught because how could they do that?

And then she finds out that GlassSpider was Ella.

Before Red is zapped away to another dimension, Maddox dies.

Who killed him?

RedSpider’s main enemy; the Queen of Hearts.

Anyways that’s all I have so far:p

victoria-rue's Recommendation Masterlist part 4

I can't believe I've done this four times. I should probably link the other four lists, I just now thought of that. In every list there are at most 50 people tagged, just because I once read that was the limit. I have now learned otherwise; I won't be changing that up now, it feels like tradition. Also, every single story linked in all of my masterlists has at least 2 chapters. But now, the important part, the Authors. These authors deserve to have their stories spread, the same stories that linger long after the last page. Their creativity ignites imaginations and sparks conversations that bring us closer together. So even if barely anyone will see this, I hope the people who do enjoy their stories as much as I did ♥︎

After Helena is brutalized by sicarios, it is that same journalist who comes to take her away and look after her -- giving Javi reason to pause and reconsider his opinion of the woman he had previously not considered as anything more than eye candy. He has no idea that once she has walked fully into his life, he will be battling with himself over whether or not he should stop her from walking out it of again.

you knew that you would always be second to her. no matter how hard you tried or whatever you did, he would continue loving her over everything else. the ring on his finger proved it. even after seven years of heartbreak and betrayal, he still wears the ring, the shiny metal practically taunting at you every single day. it served as a reminder to you about how irrelevant you really were in comparison to his first love - how he would choose her over you without even having to think about it. you were just there, a temporary distraction to his years of grief.

Mimzy chirped, reaching for her drink and downing it in one go. "He used to frequent the club I had! In fact, that’s where he met his wife—" “Wife?!” Angel Dust cut her off, jaw dropping. “Freaky face is married?” “Oh yeah,” Mimzy hummed, waving her hand around. “Under all that murder and cannibalism, he’s a total sap! Can't blame him, I mean—his wife is a doll! Me an' her used to perform together!”

Can someone sell me on malevolent? I’ve been meaning to listen for ages now but the description never grabbed me, though I love similar shows. What do you love about malevolent and why should I give it a listen?

[malkaleh]

I am imagining all the “I was there Gandalf” moments that the Tudors fandom can look back on, including the Triad reveal and the Norwich discovery. A third one that’s smaller but still significant is when DNA testing backs up the Triad reveal. Either they do a paternity test with the royal remains, or they find that the known descendants of Gregory Cromwell and the descendants of George/Owen/Pippa have a distant connection or common ancestor.

I think DNA was still relatively new in the 90s, so maybe it’s several years before they can DNA test 400-year-old skeletal remains or find common ancestors going back sixteen generations. Either way it causes another upheaval and it’s also a nice rebuttal to Restorationists and other doubters.

The Norwich discovery is pretty recent so that’s definitely a Fandom Event (of OW OW FUCK THAT GUY) - I wonder if there’s a ‘fuck that guy (derogatory)’ day on in universe tumblr. And oh gosh, The Triad Discovery. So I’ve been kind of loose on when this happens (The Tudors show in universe happens around like, right now - all the actors are in universe younger) but it’s late nineties/early 2000s plus different tech advancements. So it is by this point extremely well known and taught and also a ‘Listen I Was There When The News Broke’

(With the Triad it is like in retrospect so much makes sense - with the show people are going in knowing about it by this point but oh there’s so much I Was There about the discovery. SO MUCH)

The contents of the chest make it pretty damn clear (spoilers go here about that somewhat) but yep, the current Duchess of Essex + I think one of Owen’s descendants off the top of my head take a DNA test and yep, Related.

(Oh the trainwreck there - they basically stick their fingers in their ears and sing LALALALA CANNOT HEAR YOU - because while don’t get me wrong, they LOATHE Thomas Cromwell and will admit he was uh ‘favoured’ by Henry and have Opinions about the sullied royal bloodlines they are also deeply invested in the two current royal princes being Secretly Of The True Royal Line (and a whole other thing) and so they also refuse to believe that any King would ever be bisexual or love a commoner that much so they mostly just ignore it and huff about how corrupted by the Coarse Commoner Henry Was (in his policies! they were bros! Because Cromwell was a weasel! No homo!)

[thebluestbluewords]

they’re 100% going to choke

"They're called grapes. You shove them in your mouth like this, look--" 

Carlos whacks Jay on the back of the head before he's past the third grape. "Dude. You can't just start that here. You gotta declare it first. Gil, ignore anything he told you, grape eating contests can't just happen without warning. Do you wanna go in on this?" 

His face is deadly serious. 

This is going to end badly, but oh, it's going to be so funny getting there. 

Gil swallows the mouthful of whatever he'd been eating before they got on the topic of grapes. "Uh. Sure?"

"Okay, so the first step of doing this right is announcing what you're doing. I challenge you to a grape contest." 

Harry leans over the table to leer at Carlos. As far as Mal's aware there's no more history between those two than they've got with any of the other pirates, but something about the look rubs her the wrong way. 

Or maybe that's just the fact that they're down here eating lunch while Ben is dying. 

"He accepts," Harry says. His voice is just dripping with something that could be either flirting or sarcasm. Based on past experience, it's probably intended to be flirting, which is disgusting. She could take his tongue for the overstep, if they were back home.

"I accept!" Gil agrees, beaming. "This is fun." 

"On three, we start shoving grapes in our mouths. Don't swallow, just keep them there. Whoever has more grapes at the end wins." 

"What's the end?" 

"When we can't fit any more grapes." 

Gil nods. "Okay. One--" 

"Two." 

"Three."  And they’re off.

Hook Sibling Shenanigans

A gift for @hannahhook7744!

Also on ao3. I would have just left it there, but I wanted to post this funny edit, and I was too lazy to look up how to imbed images onto a fic.

Hope slunk back into the house through the backdoor, silently closing it behind her.

She huffed a quiet laugh to herself.

She’d done it.

She’d successfully snuck out.

Suddenly, one of the lamps in the living room turned on, and someone swiveled in the lazy boy recliner to look at her.

She exhaled sharply in relief when she saw it was just Harry. She expected one of her parents, not her stupid older brother.

“Where were you?” He asked calmly, caressing one of his old stuffed animals like a supervillain.

“Out.” Hope tried not to look suspicious. “With CJ.”

CJ abruptly sat up from where she was apparently lying prone on the couch, hidden from Hope’s view until now. “Try again.”

Hope groaned. “I just went to hang out with Gideon and PJ.” 

A partial truth. Gideon and PJ were both at the party she’d snuck out to attend.

“Uh-huh. Is that why you’re dressed like that?” CJ raised an eyebrow, and despite the fact that she was not biologically related to their mother, she somehow looked exactly like her.

She glanced down at her party dress, knowing that she’d been got. “...please don’t Mom and Papa. Okay?”

Harry shot her a wicked grin. “Hey, Hope…remember when you spoiled Spider-Man for me?”

Hope launched herself at her brother and sister. “You piece of–do not tell them! I’ll kick both of your asses!”

CJ chuckled and shoved her off of them, letting her land in a heap on the floor. “Looks like we hold the cards now.”

Hope growled. “What do you even want? You’re both adults.”

“Money.” CJ pretended to look at her nails.

“CJ, you have a job.”

“Yeah, but blackmail money is so much sweeter.”

Harry, meanwhile, shrugged. “I just want you to owe me a favor.”

“Ughhhhh!” Hope pulled herself off of the floor, straightening her dress. “Fiiiiine. I’ll owe you a favor.”

“And twenty dollars.”

“And CJ gets twenty dollars.”

A different voice was suddenly behind them. “But what do I get for not telling Mama and Papa that you two are blackmailing Hope?”

Alice stood behind them on the stairs, hands on her hips, and a wild smirk on her face.

Harry paled. “Boy am I glad Harriet moved out. Or this would get really messy.”

As their youngest children argued quietly downstairs, Emma and Killian tried not to make their presence known.

“Should we intervene?” Killian asked, slightly worried that this could devolve into a full on brawl.

“Nah.” Emma was significantly less worried. “Let ‘em talk it out.”

“We’re still punishing Hope for sneaking out though, right?”

“We didn’t punish Harriet when she snuck out.”

“Harriet snuck out?!”
