I was and remain blissfully unaware of whatever discourse is 'destroying' the camp here and there community.

I have seen quite a number of posts regarding folks unhappiness with hate being thrown around but I haven't seen any real hate.

I hope I don't.

But, I feel like something is being missed.

I love camp here and there. It is so cryptid and erratic, but more than that, it is tragic. Everyone is in their own agony. And I love that. How dysfunctional sydedudiah is. How insane and fervorous Elijah is. Rowan and the sky. Jeddie and his mom. The flashbacks. They are so torn apart. They have no idea what they are doing. Just like me. And you.

I love this tragedy, but camp here and there is not an endorsement of these things. Nor do I love these aspects in reality.

No matter how alive they feel (the mark of an incredible author, good job Blue), they are not real. Imperfections, flaws, pain and tragedy are important and create incredible stories, but the people here who say they love these things, mean they love them in stories. Not in reality.

I am obsessed with Jeddidiah. But I recognize that in real life he wouldn't be my favorite guy. He's so very flawed.

We can celebrate these aspects without endorsing them.

That is humanity. That is storytelling.

But there is a degree of seaperation.

I mean, we're talking about a resurrected dude in a sentient forest ruled by penguin overlords in apocalyptic Ohio.

Chill.

Please.

Thank you.

Love you :)

does anyone know if CH&T was cancelled? i know Blue was robbed, but his last tweet I found was him saying CH&T would be released June 2023, but i’ve found nothing of CH&T season 2 anywhere. I hope he’s ok

[bats4me]

I might be stupid, but what's happened to Mayfield anyone?? I've seen a bunch of posts hoping he's doing well and gets better and stuff, is he okay?

here’s the go fund me link!!!

So a few days ago, an audio fiction creator, Blue Mayfield, was stolen from during a move. He lost an estimated 15-20 thousand dollars worth of equipment, including the computer he used to work on his podcast, Camp Here And There.

He really needs help. Camp Here And There was his way to earn money, but it’s currently on hiatus between season 1 and season 2, and he can’t work on season 2 while he doesn’t have his equipment or files. He’s also a disabled college student, and can’t work most jobs.

There are a few ways to help out. One way is to donate money to the Camp Here and There patreon. ( https://www.patreon.com/mayfieldandbelov?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan ). Another way is to buy from his shop ( https://mayfieldandbelov.com/shop/ ). He also has a PayPal ( https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=ntxmX2sqArkoAYUvLadndPF7W5i1dFYPgR1T_VLShF2FIzXiJe6LCxYYKzhWbfQX05QPxkF01dCa7KCV ) and will be making a go fund me. Finally, if you don’t have the means to financially support him, you can listen to his podcast on YouTube ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm1R8IoIYpkQMc0hmTyFLDn7E9lKdtl45 ), where he gets ad revenue.

If you need extra convincing, Camp Here and There is a great podcast featuring wonderful music, characters, writing, and representation. If you want an autistic physically disabled fat trans man with BPD as a main character, maybe give it a listen. Anything helps.

i will NEVER forget the day 2022 st twt figured out that the russian code from s3 is the plot of s4. changed my life

The week is long.

spring break is a week long. it's the week where everything goes down and the world almost ends

The silver cat feeds –

vecna is the silver cat. he feeds on people's suffering when he haunts them and kills them. he absorbs their life force.

– when blue meets yellow in the west.

mike and will ARE blue and yellow, it's not debatable at this point. it's so specific that blue is MEETING yellow in the west, meaning yellow is already there. will is already in california, mike meets him there. also, vecna's first attack, or "feeding", was more or less the same day mike left for california.

A trip to china sounds nice –

russia and china are on the same side of the world and are both communist. one of my mutuals back in the day pointed out that this could also mean them going into the upside down. it's a gag that if you dig straight down in america you'll end up in china. dig straight down...into the upside down....

– if you tread lightly.

i can't find a clip to screenshot but when in the creel house the gang have to be very quiet and even take their shoes off to not alert vecna.

Stranger Things 3.02 | chapter two: the mall rats

[softpine]

"So... How do you rate our chances of survival?" "I'm trying not to think about it."

↪ Until Dawn AU

you should be able to follow this even if you haven't played until dawn, but i'm not sure anyone will want to read this lmao. major spoiler warning if you do! also since you're not supposed to say the monsters name and it was a bastardization of native beliefs anyway, i'm just calling it "the creature".

anyway, here's how the frozen pines crew would fare in until dawn...

Danny purchases an abandoned hunting lodge in Blackwood Pines. He hasn't gotten a chance to stay there himself, but he allows Asa to bring his friends up for a weekend visit as long as they check in regularly. Unbeknownst to anyone, this lodge was closed down in the 80s after a teenager (Finn) disappeared, and the team sent to find him was found partially eaten in the woods. Finn's body was never recovered. He's said to haunt the lodge ever since, chasing away anyone brave enough to step foot inside.

The group arrives at the lodge just before sundown. Alisa reveals that she brought her Ouija board, so they all gather around to use it – except Austin and Elaine, who are annoyed because they'd been the last to arrive and the cable car had gotten stuck, meaning they'd had to walk all the way up the mountain. They just want to relax, not taunt spirits. Asa mentions that there's a cozy guest cabin down the path where they could be left alone. Austin jumps on the opportunity, but Elaine is reluctant to walk even further, especially now that it's dark. Stevie picks up on her anxiety and argues with Austin on her friend's behalf. ("Why did we come all the way out here if you two are just gonna go somewhere else and bang?") Matt tries to diffuse the situation, but it just makes Austin more annoyed. He says he's going to the cabin whether Elaine comes or not. Elaine rolls her eyes but eventually follows him, though she promises she'll call Stevie once they're safe in the cabin.

As they're walking, Austin apologizes for getting angry and Elaine forgives him. They make it to the cabin without incident, but when she tries to call Stevie, she realizes she lost her phone. She wants to go back to the lodge, but Austin convinces her to stay and they'll look for her phone in the morning. This part follows the events of the game closely, ie. Austin starts a fire and they talk for a while. They start kissing and undressing, but are interrupted by a loud crash through the window: Elaine's phone. She thinks Matt and Stevie (but mostly Matt) followed them to play a prank on them. She flips out, yells at them from the porch, storms back inside, and... gets yanked through the window and is dragged away screaming. Austin grabs the gun off the wall and chases after her. POSSIBLE DEATH #1: If Austin takes too long, Elaine could have her throat ripped out by the creature. If Austin is fast enough, he'll follow her screams through the mines, finding her injured but alive. As he reaches out to grab her, the elevator shaft falls and she disappears from view. Either way, Austin will believe Elaine is dead. Stunned, he searches for who or what took her. He heads for the abandoned sanatorium in the distance, unaware of the horrors that await him.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group is finally using the Ouija board. Finn isn't responding with the planchette, but he's scaring them in other ways: making the lights flicker, random sounds come from the vents, and making himself appear in their vision for just long enough to think they've imagined it. Everyone gets scared, except Asa, who finds it intriguing. He goes upstairs on his own and tries to talk to Finn with compassion rather than morbid curiosity, but Finn isn't ready to hear it and he continues to scare everyone. Stevie is the most worried, especially because it's been a few hours without word from Elaine. She wants to go check on her at the guest cabin. Matt thinks this is weird and codependent, but after enough convincing, he agrees to go with her.

When they find the guest cabin, they see broken glass and blood everywhere, with the door wide open and the gun missing. They follow the footsteps until they reach a cliff. Matt knows he can safely climb down it because of his experience in parkour, but Stevie won't be able to. He tells her to use the nearby radio tower to call a ranger for help while he goes to find Elaine and Austin. Here, he has the option of giving Stevie his swiss army knife, or keeping it for himself. He makes his way down into the mines, until there's no more snow, thus no footprints to follow. That's when he hears Elaine screaming. POSSIBLE DEATH #2: Matt rushes to help her, but the screams were only the creature mimicking her voice. He's strung up by his neck and dragged deeper into the mine. If he still has his knife, he can cut the rope and survive. If he gave it to Stevie earlier, he will be defenseless and die. Either way, he or his body will remain trapped in the mines.

Stevie finds the radio tower. She successfully calls for help, but the ranger says they'll only be able to send a rescue team when the snowstorm subsides at dawn. She waits for Matt inside the tower, but he never shows. If Matt is still alive, his shoe will be tossed through the window, landing at Stevie's feet. If he's already dead, his decapitated head will be thrown inside. In both cases, Stevie is horrified and scrambles to call the ranger again to stress the urgency of the situation, but before she can reach it, the tower starts to collapse. She holds on for as long as she can. The tower crashes to the ground, trapping Stevie in between bits of mangled metal. If Matt had given her the swiss army knife earlier, she can use it to shatter a window and climb out safely. If she doesn't have the knife, she has to kick the window out, hurting her ankle. She decides she's done being a hero and starts running/crawling towards the lodge, bawling her eyes out.

Cut to Asa, unbothered, taking a bubble bath in the jacuzzi tub. Finn is leaving him alone, because even he knows there's a time and place for haunting people. Instead, he's focusing on scaring the shit out of Jada and Alisa, who have been wandering around the lodge searching for clues about its history. The basement is filled with animal carcasses in various stages of being skinned or stuffed that were never cleared out after the hunting lodge was abandoned. Jada starts to feel sick, but Alisa is fascinated and wants to keep going. Finn continues to scare them, getting more and more agitated the further the girls explore. He screams at them to get out, but they don't listen. Eventually, he becomes fully corporeal and begs them to leave, but Alisa notices that he's trying to prevent them from entering a small door at the very end of the basement. Naturally, she has to enter that door. She pushes past Finn and steps inside, though nothing could have prepared her for what she sees: A decomposed human body, mostly just bones, curled up in the corner of the room. He's wearing the same clothes as the ghost. She realizes the missing teen didn't die out in the wilderness on a hunting trip – he was killed by someone in the lodge.

Asa hears the girls screaming and hurriedly gets dressed (no anti-gravity towel for him, thank you), but in his haste to find them, he trips down the stairs and scratches up his face. He doesn't know what's going on and he's just plain scared, so he can't help but start crying. This is what makes Finn realize he doesn't want to hurt anyone and he doesn't want to be alone anymore; he wants these people to survive. He helps Asa stand up, which surprises both of them, because he didn't think he was capable of moving things in his environment without being angry. He says Jada and Alisa ran outside and he'll help Asa find them.

Austin flees the sanatorium, which was crawling with monsters and wolves (he was nice to Wolfie, don't worry). He catches up to Stevie in the woods. She sees a gnarly bite mark on his shoulder but thinks nothing of it, because she has no idea about the creatures and assumes it was some wild animal. If her ankle is hurt, Austin helps her walk and Stevie feels compelled to apologize for generally being rude to him. She doesn't hate him, she just worries about her best friend. Austin understands, but then he has to break the news that Elaine is dead. Stevie tells him Matt is dead too. (either, both, or neither could still be alive at this point, but they are always presumed dead). Stevie flat out refuses to believe that Elaine died, while Austin is defeated and believes they're all going to die tonight so there's no point looking for their bodies. Regardless of what Austin says, Stevie will leave him and go after Elaine herself. Austin continues towards the lodge.

Austin runs into Jada and Alisa next, who are stumbling out of the lodge, terrified. He yells at them to go inside. ("Whatever you think you saw in there doesn't hold a fucking candle to what I've seen out there.") They go back inside and lock themselves in a room with a weapons cache. Austin tells them everything he learned in the sanatorium – the forgotten miners who resorted to cannibalism, the monsters they became, and how the news covered up the massacre they caused. He says Elaine and Matt are dead because of these creatures, and Stevie will likely be dead because she ran off on her own. Jada wants to at least find Asa and let him into the safe room with them, but Austin says he's probably dead too (no one knows that Finn is watching out for Asa now). He teaches Jada and Alisa how to shoot a gun. It's while he's doing this that Alisa notices the bite on his neck. For an hour now, Austin has been stressing that these creatures were human once, but they became infected, dangerous and deadly, and he never mentioned that he'd been bitten by one. She screams for Jada to look at it, but Austin is quicker – he grabs Alisa tightly, covering her mouth. Jada is still holding the gun Austin taught her how to use. Even with a hand over her mouth, Alisa can be heard begging her to shoot him. Jada trains it at his forehead and... POSSIBLE DEATH #3: Jada can shoot Austin. If she does, Alisa will thank Jada for saving her life, and says that if they make it out of here alive, she'll tell everyone she did it in self defense. If Jada can't bear to shoot him, Austin will throw Alisa to the ground and run away.

But he doesn't get far. Right there in the living room, two creatures hang from the ceiling sculpture. Austin slows to a stop, holding his breath. It's nearly impossible for anyone to die here, as Finn will save them by creating a noisy distraction. Finn himself is only a visage, so he can't be harmed by the creatures which angrily circle the lodge for their prey. He suggests the only way to escape is by causing a gas leak and exploding the lodge with the monsters inside. POSSIBLE DEATH #4 & 5: If Jada shot Austin, then no one will be able to warn Asa that there are still people in the lodge, therefore Jada and Alisa will die of smoke inhalation in the weapons room. If Austin is alive, he does warn Asa (despite his anger about nearly being shot), and Asa instructs Finn to help the girls escape first. This leaves Asa (and Austin, if he's still alive), vulnerable to the creatures, meaning POSSIBLE DEATH #6 & 7: Asa and/or Austin can fail a don't move section and die. In the event that Asa dies, Finn becomes enraged and lights the fire himself, blowing up the lodge immediately and killing everyone inside, including the humans. If only Austin dies, Finn feels that he has failed, but he still makes sure Jada, Alisa, and Asa are out of the lodge before starting the fire.

Stevie hears the explosion and runs faster towards the mines, terrified at the idea of all her friends being dead. Elaine can't be dead too. POSSIBLE DEATH #8: If neither Elaine nor Matt is alive, Stevie will automatically be killed here, because she still isn't aware of the creatures in the mines and has no idea she needs to stay quiet and not move. But if either (or both) Elaine and Matt are still alive, Stevie finds them in the mines. All of them are in bad shape now, but they're thankful Stevie came back. They have to move very slowly. When they reach the edge of the mine, so close they can see the moonlight from the cracks, they're cornered by a creature. POSSIBLE DEATH #9, 10, & 11: If Stevie runs, she will die. If Stevie hides with Elaine/Matt and fails, Elaine/Matt will die. If she succeeds, they all survive. They stumble out of the mine just as the sun starts to rise over the horizon, the sound of rescue helicopters growing louder.

Much later, after the dust has settled, police recover Finn's body and lay him to rest. The investigation into his death has only just begun, but Finn isn't concerned. Because for the first time in as long as he can remember, he has a companion... In life or in death.

THE END.

please do let me know if you read this whole thing because you're officially my new best friend :') there's a ton more choices and branching pathways i thought about, but i figured this was already insane enough, so i tried to keep it simple fjksjds

The Very Curious Consistency of Elmax Wearing Yellow and Blue on their Wrists

I first noticed it in S3. El wears the blue hair tie that used to belong to Sara Hopper as a bracelet. Max wears a yellow watch. These respective accessories stay consistent despite their many outfits:

But that only started in S3, right?

OH, WAIT

(She took off the watch for the dance, but the cuff of her sleeve is still yellow!)

But it ended after S3, right?

OH, WAIT

Curious.......very, very curious........

I think up and Adam just looks like Will Wood

First album mister wood, his silly little hat, all that black clothes, of course wacky tie, red eyeshadow, psychedelic facepaint, don't forget the 3rd eye!

Lipstick? Lots

Red

And how about fangs? He deserves them.

would you ever make chnt stickers?

since chnt is a m u c h smaller podcast and the production for s2 has been so rough, I don’t feel great about profiting off of it yk? like,,,, idk maybe we can manifest some official stickers, I’ve gotten to work with Will Wood before so it’s not entirely unlikely 👀👀

[labratofthemonth]

specifically, ICIMI is having to wait in my turned off car outside of a target while it’s pouring the rain and my dad is putting a towel over his scraped knee. When Somebody Needs You and CH&T File 3 is when my family and i were driving back from Broadway At The Beach. It was dark outside, but the moon actually was really large and blood red. the trailer episode for CH&T is driving past all of the huge souvenir shops and the Rioz steakhouse. Willard! and Your Body, My Temple is when I was laying on my bed in one of the upstairs rental beach house bedrooms staring at the ceiling for an hour. Euthanasia is when i was overstimulated after a full day of nonstop doing stuff and i couldn’t look up from the backseat of my moving car because every single headlight was burning into my skull. Tomcat Disposables is when I stalked the facebook of the kennel my family left our dog at during our vacation because i missed her. the Under A ____ Sky songs were when i cried at 4am one night because i wanted to be home. Venetian Blind Man is the car ride to Myrtle Beach, and Becoming The Lastnames is the 11 hour car ride back. when i think of ICIMI and CH&T, i can’t not think about these things. i miss them.

i completely associate the entirety of ICIMI by Will Wood and CH&T with Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and no I will not elaborate. i can not think about those two things without thinking of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
