The Disappearances of Lydia Fountayne is a new audio drama! I (Grant) have been cast in it, I'm so glad you can listen and enjoy the first episode, and I'd love for this team to make more. Let's go through those points one at a time.

DoLF (DiLF if you're nasty) is a "magical surrealist" story about a young woman and her friends caught in adventure and intrigues they never imagined. It's about big data, surveillance, and the global, digital panopticon. It's about scheming uncles (I play one of those). It's about a talking bird. According to Dee, it's about Dee. You can listen to the premiere and learn more here

Today we announced the launch day watch-along premiere, set for Monday the 3rd at 6pm eastern, 3pm pacific, and 11pm for our friends in Ireland and Great Britain. Spooky. It will be on the Moonshot Podcast Network's youtube channel.

Our website also has a link to the Kickstarter campaign. That's how we get to make the rest of the story. It's also launching on Monday, and running for a month. Available rewards include advance access, outtakes, scripts, a suspicious envelope, and more. But the most important reward is making a full season of an independent, original, and exciting audio drama possible and viable.

So listen now, and listen again with us on Monday! I've been talking about this a lot on podcast guest appearances, and soon I'll be collecting those once they're all out. For now, I'll leave you with one last link to https://www.lydiadisappears.com/ and our video trailer:

Guardian Tales Highschool Au where Amy is Kanterbury High's photographer who takes candid photos of the school's students.

She does an amazing job at taking candid photos! That is, until she had gotten told to take a picture of Dolf.

The boy she was always seen to be with back then until they had gotten separated because of their different classes in the school.

Back to the subject of taking a picture of Dolf, whenever Amy would try to take a picture of him he would always be facing the camera.

And even if she tried to ask him a lot of times to face away he would just say—

“My handsomeness would be a waste, wouldn't you think?” with a smug (annoying) grin on his face.

Amy had also tried to take picture of him from afar only for it to lead to no avail.

Amy pretty much lost control and took her anger out on Dolf due to annoyance.

And Dolf gets scared and does what she asks (of course)

But when Amy finally snaps the camera and takes a picture his face would STILL be facing the camera.

Amy is starting to believe Dolf has some kind of magic sense when a camera is pointed at his direction.

That is until today; the day she was finally able to take a picture of him where he isn't facing the camera.

Dolf gets embarrassed the next day after seeing a picture of him getting hit on the face with a ball on the School's photo board.

Amy doesn't know if she should apologize to him or internally celebrate now that she can finally move on to the next person to focus on taking a picture that isn't Dolf anymore.

Though Amy does wonder who threw the ball..

Hey! Emory from Check Out This Guy is one of many lovely voices on this podcast! Please help kickstart it if you can! You will even heard them at the end of the pilot episode so you should listen through trust me 👀

We may also have a new ep out with a certain familiar voice, as well as another one in the pipe!

Lydia Ryan never knew her mother's family. But when she returns to her childhood home to find it ransacked, her parents gone, and a book that shouldn't exist waiting for her, Lydia's insatiable curiosity leads her into a world of mystery, paranoia, and danger.

Presented through found-footage style surveillance recordings and the voluntary panopticon of social media in an interconnected near-future world, Disappearances of Lydia Fountayne follows the bookish teenager and her friends - lovelorn Ethan and wannabe internet sensation Dee - as they try to discover the secrets of Lydia's identity before they are consumed by the decades-long feud for control of her grandfather's supernatural dominions.

The full season of DoLF is Kickstarting this month, RIGHT HERE, and pledging will get you fun rewards like tote bags, early episode access, and Suspicious Envelopes. You can also watch/listen to a fancy visualizer version of the pilot on Moonshot's YouTube channel!

Grant's Recent guest spot roundup!

The first four guest spots I’ve done to spread the word about The Disappearances of Lydia Fountayne have come out. (First five technically, but that one will kick off the second roundup). Let's take a look!

Do You Remember Robotech Episode 33: [A Rainy Night]'s Knight For A [Rainy Night] Plight We compare the 33rd episodes of SFD Macross and Robotech, and find a lot to say about how slight differences lead to large divergences. Also, my fullest retelling of the saga of Pie Girl.

Lightning Strikes Thrice: Radio Manga: Ghost in the Shell We talk about one of the best examples of a “guy explains the cool thing he read to you” book, with a mix of fantastic art, action, and ideas that never manage to gel into something that meets its potential. That's what the adaptations are for, I guess.

Flash in the Pan Episode 110: A Soupçon Of Hitler Flash videos! Star Wars! Branded content and CGI Dragon strangling educational media! What is the difference between making a fan video out of love and making one out of mockery?

Out This Guy ep 46 - Big Chest Exposed Knees This one is a treat for 6FU listeners, and hopefully entices a few people to become listeners. I'm talking about the big blue boy: Izer Munn. He's grumpy, he's got skeletons in his closet, and he's bad at emotions. But doggone it he's there for his crew. And for those listeners in the know, there are some previews of coming attractions in Izer's yet-to-be-posted future adventures.

These, and those to come, have been so much fun to make. But please remember, this whole tour is in service of spreading the word about The Disappearances of Lydia Fountayne and its currently live Kickstarter to make a full season. Give it a listen! Spread the links! And please, add your pledge so we can deliver on what the premiere episode promised.

hi, so could you tell me what and or who Peccantum’s cult worshipped? And how they gained access to magic?

Who is Peccantum?

It's October, so I guess talk of spooky stuff is fitting lol

Keep in mind a lot of this is going to be me indulging in a darker tone than the final product. I'm throwing around ideas and depending on how Hazbin Hotel world builds (or doesn't) this could be completely disproven later.

Buuuut I wanna have fun dumping my thoughts about this somewhere! And maybe if I do that here, it won't clog up the main story I wanna tell. So, without further ado...

Cult Stuff!

Worship

This particular cult has a leader that is very charismatic. I'm tempted to say it's a cult of personality around this leader... But that's not quite it. I mean, there's gotta be a reason Dolf started this cult, right?

I think he's scared of dying, ultimately. Scared that there was an empty, meaningless void waiting for him after death. Or that eternal punishment would be unavoidable. Eventually, Dolf gets a glimpse of Hell, and it comforts him. Because he knows he's damned, but he can avoid the consequences of his actions. The afterlife can be just like his regular life! Just so long as he is clever and he's damn good at being clever.

So the cult 'worships' damnation and dying, in a way. It would also be appropriate if one of the lies Dolf tells is that "No one actually goes to heaven! Humans are all rotten to the core and carry our forefathers sins! We can do whatever we want to whoever we want and it doesn't matter, because no one is worth salvation anyways." Then going on to promise safety and protection in hell. Basically, preying on people's nihilism, vulnerability, and ignorance.

Magic

This one's a little trickier because we don't have a hard system of rules for magic in the show. We see Vox using sigils (as well as the seven deadly sins) but we see Charlie also straight up exploding people to death with fireworks. Sinners form seem to change on the dime, which might suggest that this isn't a physical realm, but the angel's weakness being angelic steel goes against it. Especially if Intent doesn't matter (which it might, but Alastor was also able to use it so....???????)

Suffice to say, magic is weird in Hazbin Hotel lol

For Peccantum, since he's all about magic, I've had to figure out some of my own rules. Firstly, each person/soul has their own brand of magic fuckery. Some come from religion, some manifest as a different form. Some souls are trained in it, some don't know it exists. Some have more, some have less. It's different for everyone and is influenced by the sinner it is attached to.

But surely that's just in hell, right? We haven't seen any human do magic (except a certain angelic necklace) right? Maybe they can't do magic!

....Yeah that could absolutely happen XD but hear me out!

We've seen at Halloween that Stolas was invited to a ritual sacrifice, meaning there is some communication between the goetia and humans. If there was.... I dunno, a book about how magic worked, or how to unleash it within a soul, and a human was able to see and replicate it....?

Again, all hypothetical lol, but it is fun to think about!

As for gaining power in the mortal world, humans can't exactly make deals the way demons do. Instead, they uh... Take it from others. Kind of like how Peccantum's magic was taken from him. He's probably done it to others too. Of course, those who practiced this would absolutely be damned for it, but that's not much of an issue for this cult. :)

the thing about dolf is that he wants to be pet in the most uncatlike way possible. whenever he hasnt seen me in a few hours (after night, or work, or school) he doesnt shut the fuck up unless i greet him by bapping the fuck out of him. he will walk around meowing unless i rapidly bap him from head to tail with 2 hands simultaneously in a way even a dog would get sick of for at least 5 minutes. only after that will he be quiet and do his own thing.
