I'm relistening to I am in Eskew at the same time as the Silt Verses come out and it's so fun seeing ideas introduced in Eskew resurface in TSV, like I just finished ep. 24 and the way the History Society works is so much like our new scary war saint!!! Obsessed

#i love you authors with frightening ideas coming at them from multiple angles #eskew productions you have my whole heart #both shows are obviously very different from each other but i absolutely love the wet gross meatiness of the horror in both #they're also both quite lonely shows imo #different types of lonely- David (saddest wettest little meow meow ever) is alone in a way Carpenter isn't #but Carpenter is so phenomenally lonely in a way that only seems to ho away when she is by herself #Falkner and Riyo are also pretty lonely people but to me it doesn't run as harsh as David and Carpenter #all this to say I adore these strange worlds and their stranger people and the gorgeous prose they're written in #another David/Carpenter parallel- being so deeply loved by a thing that loves wrongly #I'm trying to remember something i heard in a Jacob Geller video about the way houses love their people but they were not designed to love #and so they are haunted instead #anyway that's Eskew and the Trawllerman #also obsessed with the way Faulkner is fratricidally desperate for the Trawllerman to love him as well #and the way Riyo dismisses Eskew out of hand like she simply does not care for the City bc even though David hates Eskew #he cannot help it- he needs to be a part of Eskew he cannot let it go until the end #I'm insane. anyway #i am in eskew #the silt verses #tsv #i don't think there's an acronym for eskew
