Barb (mark 2) made his way belatedly to my mailbox!! (because Barb mark 1 got lost in the mail and is still off having a postal adventure, perhaps in a crevice somewhere)

Having the time of his life in Cherry. I'm so charmed by everything about this! I think I have a nice frame for him somewhere.

Thanks so much for the extra help with this, @hellofromthehallowoods !!

Hfth incorrect quotes!

Minor season 3 spoilers:

It started with me messing with the incorrect quotes generator and things quickly escalated from there

Relistening to Hallowoods episode 33 and can’t wait for Barb and Polly to join forces and break out of the Industry prisons so they can go HOME

Bonus points if it’s after Polly is blinded and Barb has to keep his head above water re: despair

It would round out their interactions from 33 PERFECTLY I need it so much

[ineffablepoet]

Finally getting around to listening to season two of Hello from the Hallowoods and may I say, whatever Barb wants with Polly I don’t like it and I don’t trust it

[impromptu-lizard-surgery]

You know what? I 100% get why Mx Morell was friends with Barb now, the two are far more similar than I expected

Barb really said "money laundering? 👀"

Another batch of 5 Hallowoods characters, all chosen by the lovely @whatlizardry

Hello from the hallowoods is really good at paralels between characters

the hfth brainrot is going strong and I need to take a bit to rant about how good all of the parralels between all of the characters are because oh my good mx wellman you truly outdid yourself on them

Riot-The Misters R&W-Moth: all three spent their entire time since the black rain in bunkers, only to be forced to leave

Riot-Clara-Moth: all three spent their time isolated in their respective safe houses with their families, only for something to go terribly wrong and them being forced to flee. They lose their parents, but after leaving all found a new mentor/father figure to teach them how to become strong enough to survive

Clara-Olivier: kinda obvious basicaly everybody references how clara is slowly becoming the new olivier and in the season 3 finale they make it even more clear by saying that blackletter didnt even remove olivier from the plan. also both dated riot

Walt-Bern: both were survivors in the woods but while walt used compassion and understanding, bern initialy refused to believe either diggory or olivier should be allowed to survive

Soloman-Irene: both were masters of the dark arts who attempted to reanimate the dead

The Resting Place crew-The Grand Crossroads crew: a group of a renagade devil, a powerful creature animated by the black rains, and a woman who takes her power from another indiscribably who acts as a lancer and supporter of the devil

The Countess-The Count: kinda obvious dont think I need to explain this one

Diggory-Cindy: connection to rizwana and dedication to stopping the end of the world

Diggory-Mort: deceased members of Rizwanas doomed expedition who in the end have to choose which one of them will die saving the world

Diggory-Creep: beings who have stolen the memories of Rizwanas expedition mixed with the black water

Friday-Penny: both have luck based powers that cause them to remain trapped and isolated being tormented for years

Nikignik-Ethel: both communicate stories through dreams, but LEM uses it to talk about herself and tell her own story, while Nik barely ever talks about it, especialy in season 1

Walt&Riot-Winona&Alena: young person with older mentor with a special sword

Ray-Gale-Bill: Moths 3 father figures, each of which take a different approach towards raising moth

Buck&Rick-Hector&Jonah: another pretty simple one

Jonah-Faceless King-Rat King: three kings of the end with three different perspectives on what that means for them

Marolmar-Nikignik-Xizikxiz: watch starcrossed gods please even if you have never watched a single episode of the show before I am begging you its so good

Al-Percy: the two ghosts, both only have one friend who can ever see them and carries their instrument around and a bad single parent

Ms Wicker-Indrid: both mothers who join the church of the hallowed name and have a chance to save their son from the spring service

Riot-Clementine: I really should not need to explain this one

I could go on for literal hours but literaly you can choose any two characters and their stories will parralel each other in some way and let you see something new/unique about how each handles their situation in contrast to the other.

If you have not watched HFTH please do so it is genuinely the best podcast if not the best story I have ever seen(or heard? its a podcast so im not sure what proper terminolodgy would be)

[angryducktimemachine]

Okay so I remembered that this meme exist and while i no longer can't find the proper original i had to draw this as a HFTH meme-

[ID: a digital redraw of a meme with Polly, Mort and Yaretzi from Hello from the Hallowoods. It's done in red on a beige background and consists of 8 frames.

In the first is Polly, holding a cigarette and looking tired. He's saying "fuck."

In the second Yaretzi is gasping, pressing two hands to Morts dome as of holding his ears closed.

In the third Yaretzi, still with her mouth open in shock is pushing Mort out of a doorway.

In the fourth Yaretzi is looking around the corner of said doorway, still looking shocked.

In the fifth Mort is standing, saying "fuck."

In the sixth Yaretzi is shown turning around with an angry, shocked Expression. Lightning strikes behind her.

In the seventh she's approaching Polly who is sitting on a chair. Barb is between them with his hands up trying to stop her.

In the eight Yaretzi is sitting on top of a fallen over Polly on the floor, grabbing him by the collar. /End ID]

I love when I'm expecting an okay episode of HFTH, only to be surprised and blessed with my favorite characters.

I just listened to episode 54, and before I listened to it I was like, "Oh, I don't know a Gale so that's a new person so eh, Riot is pretty good but not like Polly or anything PHENOMENAL, and Barb is not a good guy."

Well, I just listened to it and oh my gosh, I got MOTH, one of my favorites from right when I met moth, and finding out that Percy was a horse girl and all of Riot/Olivier/Diggory/Percy's little quirks in their story, and then POLLY.

This was an episode to behold :)

[dramaticwithoutgender]

Something about Barb never charging The Countess is so profound. He was a demon primarily fueled by greed and hedonism, and he let The Countess stay at his hotel for free.
