As the Doodler storyline progresses, I really hope Anthony is gonna find some way to work (Temporary) Sanity Points into the game. The players had such a fun time with them in AMOD and they'd be a great way to operationalize emotional trauma. If not for the players, then for the NPCs! Mechanical consequences are a fun way to make the Doodler's threat seem dangerously real.

i interrupt my pirate related screaming to do more malevolent related screaming, because coda (part 20.5) just released publicly and this is the episode that literally made me vibrate at high speed in my bathroom so go listen right the fuck now, it’s so good and will make you feel better about 20 (sort of)

even if you have already listened to malevolent, all of the episodes just got updated with new music (that’s fucking amazing) and the first couple of episodes got a little shinier so if you have been thinking of relistening now is the time baby

okay i was being unwell about this on the discord but i’m also going to do it here
the fucking. symbolism of arthur washing his hands before eating, of that detail being included, like yes, from a practical standpoint of course he had to wash his fuckin hands he was gross
but like also the physical act of washing the blood from his hands representing the metaphorical act of washing the blood from his hands and letting go of a little bit of his guilt. the food as a metaphor for healing! of course he couldn’t heal eat until he had let go of some of his guilt washed the blood off
just like, harlan is such a good fucking writer im insane i cried for like an hour

Okay you got me hooked. Tell me a little about malevolent podcast?
hell yeah! malevolent is a horror podcast set in the 1930s about a private investigator who wakes up in his office with a voice in his head that now has control of his vision. the show is his attempts to find out what the fuck happened to him, and who or what exactly the entity controlling his eyes is, with or without said entity’s help. it’s technically based in the call of cthulhu ttrpg universe, but game knowledge isn’t needed to get into the show.
there’s a lot of excellent horror, and also a lot of feelings to absolutely rip your fucking heart out because that’s how i roll. and from a technical angle the editing and soundscaping for the show is absolutely amazing, if that’s something you take into consideration. the whole thing is done by one guy (including all of the voice acting, not that you can tell) and it’s extremely good.
i like this show a normal amount, obviously.

i think my absolute favorite thing about stede is that he’s not nice he’s polite. he is a classic example of the difference between the two, he’s a bitch but he also has manners and i love him.

what's this new podcast, what's going on
malevolent! i didn't know this going in but it's actually a podcast based off a game of Call of Cthulhu; not that i would know much more than that, since i know precious little lovecraft and even less of the actual game
premise is that an investigator, name of arthur lester, suddenly gets possessed by some entity from a book, with no prior memory of how or why this happened to him. the entity has control of his eyes so they must work together to find out what's going on. lots of cthulhu mythos stuff going on but you don't seem to need to know any prior lore in order to get into it; as long as you're vaguely aware of how lovecraftian horrors work you're good to go
this is actually a CYOA game being played on patreon with patrons calling the shots on arthur's choices throughout the story, which is pretty much the only thing keeping me from wholeheartedly recommending it, * but that's fully a matter of personal preference. the writing and voice acting so far has been fucking stellar though, like absolutely blowing my shit out of the water, and the writers(? i don’t know how many there are) have a clear knack for weaving everything together so i'm totally onboard for the ride rn. i cannot fucking emphasize enough how good the voice acting is, there is SO MUCH dimension added to the characters on VA alone
the unique thing about this podcast is that because it's functionally an actual play podcast, there aren't any scene breaks for anything. even small things like mundane details are left in, in places where most narrative podcasts would have faded to black or cut the scene; but because we're cut off from most fourth wall breaks or hors-canon scenebuilding the actual effect is more like...watching a youtube playthrough of a video game? like it straight up kinda feels like im listening to someone play through a disco elysium-style game. kinda needs getting used to at first (at least for me) but it's oddly soothing
(*the reason being that a story feels much less coherent/consistent for me if i'm aware that ordinary schlubs like me are calling the shots, but again, if this doesn't bother you and/or you're not a picky little bitch like me i can't rec this podcast enough, actually**)
(**BEARS MENTIONING THAT FOR $10 YOU CAN ALSO BE A PATRON WHO MAKES THE CHOICES. if that is your jam GO FOR IT they deserve the $$ for such a high-production value podcast anyway)

SESSION TWELVE of the BatIM Call of Cthulhu game, aka Continuing to have a Great Time At The Masquerade! : )
Joey and Bendy destabilised early on, meaning Joey went through the ENTIRE masquerade UNABLE TO STOP SMILING
getting some mixed messages here, Joey
Sometimes u dress ur characters up as rabbits for fun but then you have a lot of emotions about them losing their minds and then u gotta draw them losing their minds while dressed as rabbits... anyway Jack being mind-controlled did NOT help Sammy hold onto his mental stability at this nightmare party in case you were wondering,
ANYWAY HAVE, MORE OUT-OF-CONTEXT QUOTES, UNDER THE CUT
[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (inkcryptid), Jack is played by Mochi (whatyouwantedmetosee) and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]
[GM] Joey, make a POW roll also... [Joey] Oh, boy, [GM] ...because Bendy was also told to enjoy this party, and you guys just passed a plate of food, and he wants to eat! [Jack] FEED YOUR SON! [Joey] No!!! [Henry] HES A HUNGRY BOY! [Sammy] A GROWING BOY!
[Henry] Henry will look back to see if Moonlight is trying to follow them! [GM] He will see that Moonlight has grabbed onto the railing of the stairs and is hobbling slowly down them. [Joey] *extremely evil-sounding cackling*
[Jack] All Cthulhu Official Dice actually come weighted, to make you fail.
[Henry] Gotta try harder than that, bitch! [Henry] ....that wasn't in character. [Jack] It's in character, but he's only thinking it. [Sammy] That's the golden text you see on the wall if you use the seeing tool
[Henry] My Luck is 68, I don't know what y'all are doing! [Jack] We're spending Luck so that we'll fail! [Sammy] BEING UNLUCKY! I've barely spent any Luck, I'm just NOT A LUCKY GUY
[Henry] Oh, Avedon's here, [GM] There's a gunshot, and he tries to shoot Fowler! [Joey] Um, well, uh, whoops!, rest in peace Fowler! [Sammy] Yeah, that'll sort itself out, let's go! [GM] Moonlight seems to reconsider from telling people to grab you guys, to grabbing Avedon instead. [Joey] Oh! THANKS AVEDON, your sacrifice will, not be thought about in the slightest!!!
[Sammy] Is... weird question, does this room look like it matches the architecture of the rest of the house? [GM] [GM] [GM] ...make a sanity check.
[Sammy] It would be a like, Come on Jack, do you know where you are, shake it off, snap out of it, kind of thing. [GM] Why don't you make a... a.... oh boy, [Sammy] One of my REALLY persuasive social skills?
[GM] This probably just registers to Jack as, Sammy griping about a party, which isn't that strange. [Jack] Yeahhhh, he wants to leave. He always does that. I wanna stay at least a little longer! [GM] That just means it's Jack's job to find them something fun and good to do. [Sammy] Oh boy, [GM] I don't think Jack is being compelled to be aggressive about this necessarily, he just feels like he's Jack at a party, doing the things Jack normally does, and trying to have a good time! [Sammy] Ah, and everyone else is being weird, [GM] Yeah! Everybody's being really weird! You're at this nice party, and now you're in this weird room? The party's back there somewhere! [Jack] I mean not that he's opposed to bein' dragged into side rooms at parties by cute boys, but,
[GM] The table looks like a table that Henry has in his house, actually. [Sammy] Have I ever been in Henry's house? These are questions I didn't expect to need to ask tonight.
[Sammy] Jack, this is weird! You see this is weird, right?! [Jack] Well yeah, it is kinda weird that we're in-- what are we doing here? [Joey] Joey is going to grab Jack's arm, and point to the next door, and go "Party is this way!"
[GM] Peter looks worried... [Sammy] Sammy looks worried too! Well, Sammy looks angry, but in a worried way.
[Joey] Joey is going to scream frustratedly. [Sammy] Is there ink in this room? [GM] There is not. [Jack] Is there a party in this room? [GM] Definitely no, only the party you bring with you.
[Joey] Joey is going to scream again. [Joey] He's also going to kick the door. He might stub his toe. [Sammy] Through all this, Joey is smiling. I just need us all to remember that. [Joey] YES. Also his tail is furiously going. [GM] Bendy is also upset! There is nothing to eat here.
[Joey] Joey is going to try to feed Bendy some ideas, [GM] He doesn't want ideas, he wants food!
[Joey] So.... what happens if you fumble a sanity roll?
[GM] See, here's the silly part. At this point, right? At this point, the best place to do the tasks you want to do, involve either getting the stone out of the room with the safe, or having the staff that Henry is currently holding. [Sammy] So you would arrive, by completely different means, to the same place that we are! [GM] Clearly Joey is inside the safe.
[Jack] Bad and naughty Joey Drews get put in the safe to atone for their sins!
[Henry] Henry is going to channel his inner Joey Drew and round the corner and say "No, sorry about him, we're just here on inspection, we need to check the safe." [Henry] Which is probably a Fast Talk, which I hope it isn't, because my Fast Talk is a 5. [GM] Unless you wanna try to turn that into a persuade somehow? [Henry] I'll do Persuade! [GM] What are you doing to persuade them, rather than just lying? [Henry] *rolls* I failed... I'm gonna push it... [Sammy] *uneasy noises* IF YOU PUSH IT AND IT GOES BAD, IT GOES WORSE [Henry] AH! HAHA! I ROLLED A SIX! [Sammy] THAT'S STILL NOT LESS THAN FIVE! [Henry] WELL IM DOING PERSUADE! [Sammy] That means you have to NOT LIE! [Henry] ....Fuck. [Henry] Okay, uh, there's an emergency, we need the contents of that safe. [Sammy] THATS STILL A LIE??? [Joey] NO actually, THAT'S TRUE! [Henry] It IS an emergency!!
[Sammy] Sammy cannot believe that this is working.
[GM] Bendy does wonder what his plan is for getting out of the safe. This does not seem like a fun party place. [Joey] Um, [Joey] Joey says it's a surprise.
[GM] Henry, the safe does indeed open! And there's a Joey! [GM] Bendy says "Oh wow!" [Henry] Henry tries his best to keep a straight face, like yes! this is exactly what he came here for! [Sammy] (Sammy is NOT keeping a straight face) [Jack] (Straight? In this party?)
[Jack] He's probably saying something like, "What are you doing, he's one of us!" [Jack] And that could go either way. That could mean "No, he's chill, I will persuade you to stop!" Or that could mean, "We are also criminals!"
[GM, as the guards] Then why does he look like the Yellow King's messenger? [Henry] *not missing a beat* We get that a lot.
[GM] Something falls from the sky and lands in front of him. And it's a person! [Joey] Is he alive? [GM] Very much not. [Sammy] How... how Illusion of Living canon-compliant is this Joey...?
[Jack] So... it would probably occur to Jack that this is weird for a party,
[Henry] Joey don't touch it! [Joey] Why not? [Henry] There's runes around it. I don't know if you can touch it. [Joey] Joey's gonna touch it. [Henry] *long-suffering sigh* If you get zapped, I'll tell you I told you so!
[Jack] Jack really wishes we were just back at the party right now, you guys... [Jack] Only bad things have happened. [Jack] Pete's traumatised, Joey's goopy, the Lurker ate all of the snacks,
[Sammy] Can I try to break free from Henry? Sammy's gonna try to run over there. [Henry] At this point, Sam can go, if he wants. [Sammy] Okay, cool. Then Sammy's gonna go and put ink in his mouth! [Henry] Goddammit. I was hoping you were going to check on Joey!
[Joey] You can’t take all of the sanity hits! You have to leave some for other people! [Jack] Says you! You got so many temps!! And an indefinite!!
[GM] Bendy probably is complaining loudly about WHY DID HE WALK THROUGH THE RUNES??? [Joey] Oh! I thought he was going to complain about the party, or lack thereof, [GM] That’s part of not having fun at the party, he’s not into that! [Joey] Well, [GM] This is not a fun party activity!!
[GM] But he doesn’t think it will destroy either of them, if you do it right! [Jack] That’s a nice, way to end that sentence,
[Sammy] Let us hurry! May I take the stone? [Joey] Joey shrugs. [Sammy] Sammy will, uh, attempt to reach inside of... whatever this is, and find the stone. [Henry] Reach INTO your LOCAL boss, and you will find A Friend And Boy,
[Sammy] Is there anything in this room that I can pick up, and then hit him in the head with? [GM] Henry has a stick... uh....there’s a projector.... [Sammy] Can I pick that up? [GM] No, you cannot. [Sammy] It would be REALLY funny if Sammy dropped a projector on someone else’s head. [Sammy] HOW THE TURNTABLES!!!
[GM] ...Can you impale with a rocking horse...???? [Sammy] I don’t want to impale, I want to knock him in the head so he passes out!!! Rest your head, it’s time for bed!!!
[Jack] I don’t think Jack has any plans after this! [Jack] I meant that in the sense that he doesn’t know what he’s doing next, but the way I phrased it, now it just sounds like he’s hitting on Fowler, like, he doesn’t have anything to do after this, are you free? That’s not canon.
[Joey] I don’t know how this will go, [Sammy] Good luck! [Joey] But Joey would like to-- [Sammy] Sammy believes in half of you! [GM] w-which Sammy? wHICH HALF?!
[Jack] I know you said “note.” But my brain at first processed that word as “milk.” [Henry] *laughing* “Did you get my milk, Fowler?” [Jack] He drank the last carton and he didn’t buy more! [Sammy] “I’m going to the store, want me to get anything? *jumps into the lake*”
[GM] Combat Jack! [Jack] *exasperated* He’s not a Combat Boy! Jack is soft and warm, like mashed potatoes!!!
[GM] Norman is wondering to Henry if he oughta be concerned about you all getting what you want out of this. [Henry] .....Maybe.

i think i would be ranger + ancients paladin :] we love a multiclass in this house. full nature bitch
7. How do you go about making a character or NPC?
i usually start by seeing what we need for party comp, then going to class and subclass. then i find some mechanics that are Sexy and build my character around those!! people have mentioned that bo is a fucked up/broken ranger but bo's character was created FOR those fucked up ranger mechanics lmao. there was PUNCH and THEN there was bo. having themed/strong setting campaigns really helps for me!!!
8. What is the most memorable natural 20 you've ever experienced?
(cw strangling)
in my very first campaign there was a general who i was pretty sure had murdered someone and i ran into him at a fancy party so i (young, dumb, naive) was like. im going to choke him out and then im gonna sneak out the window and tie him up somewhere and interrogate him (i was playing a rogue). my dm was like yeah make a strength check and i was like. Oh No! I have -2 strength! but i got a fucking NAT 20 and he passed out. i get him out of the party and then go to wake him up and. he's. dead. and i was like. how the fuck did the nat 20 betray me. thats not how this game is supposed to work. what the fuck. but people were rallying guards and i had to abandon his body and run. and i did not find out FOR AN IN REAL LIFE YEAR THAT HE HAD CAST FEIGN DEATH ON HIMSELF AT THE LAST SECOND. AND I FOUND OUT BECAUSE HE SHOWED UP TO FUCKING ARREST ME. nearly had a full meltdown. and yes isaac was dming lmao
9. Has one of your d&d characters ever died? How?
we played a shakespeare one shot and i was lady macbeth and i tried to poison oberon at titania's request and he caught me and smited me and while macbeth was begging for me to be healed i rolled a nat 1 on my death save lmao
17. Who is your favorite "celebrity dm?"
brennan lee mulligan hand in marriage but shoutout to griffin mcelroy who was my intro to dnd media
19. How did you discover D&D?
i was 6 and 3e had just come out and i found the monster manual in the bookstore and was like i have NO IDEA what this is but it looks DOPE AS FUCK so i grabbed it and snuck away to read it and got SO hyperfixated on it that i didnt notice they literally locked the store down and was calling over the speakers for me and searching the bathrooms and had cops there because i hid so well they thought i got kidnapped. my mom bought me an ice cream and sobbed the whole drive home. she did not buy me the book. didnt play until i was 21 though and my best friend/roommate was like hey i want to run a one shot and you. live in my house. and i was like lol okay. and now its been 5 years and im! simply obsessed! lost in the sauce!
20. If you run a homebrew game, give an out of context spoiler.
for the lost township game that is being planned - lots of birds have feathers! :]
24. Have you ever played any TTRPGs other than D&D?
i've played call of cthulhu, monster of the week, starfinder, fiasco, and wanderhome! i also own the pugmire rulebook but have not played yet
32. Most memorable NPC you've encountered in a game you played in.
if i say xander will you literally kill me. will you. genuine question. casey. will you kill me.
37. What is the most recent PC or NPC you've created?
i will say pc because im making a lot of npcs right now. her name is lucille, shes a drow, and she's 1 shadow sorcerer/2 twilight cleric/2 monk. this makes more sense when you find out shes the night manager of a waffle house. also she dropped out of an astrophysics degree

Conversation
The Complete Fiction of HP Lovecraft rated by me, someone who read them all* but has a terrible memory
The Beast in The Cave: uh a guy goes on a cave tour and finds a creature that was like a human that got lost and adapted to its surroundings. 0/10 just because im pretty sure there was another one with this exact premise and neither of them were memorable at all.
The Alchemist: dude achieves immortality and lives in the narrators basement and has pledged to murder his entire lineage or something. 4/10 the alchemy stuff was actually kind of interesting
The Tomb: im pretty sure this is the one where a guy starts hanging out in a tomb and like travels back in time/becomes one of his ancestors? 5/10 if its the one im thinking of i did enjoy reading it
Dagon: guy lands on a mysterious island with signs of a long dead civilization. 1/10 i do not remember what happened in it
A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson: 0/10 i have no memory of this
Polaris: also 0/10 i forgot all about it
Beyond the Wall of Sleep: could be any of the dream focused ones. if its the one about the dude sailing into the void or whatever than 4/10 not too bad
Memory: ironically, i dont remember it. 0/10
Old Bugs: 1/10 for the title god i wish i remembered this one
The Transition of Juan Romero: i got nothing. 0/10
The White Ship: this might also be the one about the dude sailing into the void? i liked that one he lived in a lighthouse and boarded a dream ship and just fucking left it was fun. 4/10
The Street: uh i think really steep street that didnt actually exist. 3/10
The Doom that Came to Sarnath: i wanna say another one of the dream centered ones where a town discovers some old relics and blatantly disrespects them and gets exactly whats coming to it. 5/10 they deserved what they got
The Statement of Randolph Carter: ok this dude shows up several times. i think this one is about how he returns to his childhood home then travels back in time and creates a time loop paradox thing. 1/10 meh
The Terrible Old Man: uh some thieves harrass a weird old guy and get got. 5/10
The Cats of Ulthar: someone is mean to a cat in a dream city, all of the rest of the cats get revenge and are revered for the rest of time. 2/10 (-3 because lovecraft has a specific name he gives to apparently every fictional and real cat he encounters and wow i wish he hadn't)
The Tree: i feel like this is something to do with a person becoming a tree but i cant actually remember. 0/10
Celephais: yeah no i got nothing 0/10
The Picture in the House: also nothing 0/10
The Temple: nope 0/10
Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and his Family: is this the one where the dude's great grandfather married an ape? i dont think so but im not sure. 0/10, -5/10 if it is that one cause that one was especially shitty
From Beyond: nope 0/10
Nyarlathotep: charismatic dude shows up and is like get in bitches we're going to the void. i love nyarlathotep cause hes the one who directly interacts with humanity and like wears a human suit or whatever so hes just some dude whos like hey im gonna feed you to azathoth 5/0
The Quest of Iranon: got nothing 0/10
The Music of Erich Zann: narrator makes friends with an old musician whos being hunted by supernatural forces. 2/10 because i remember it but it was just ok

The Nameless city: nope 0/10
The Outsider: also nope 0/10
The Moon-Bog: sounds cool, dont remember it. 0/10
The Other Gods: dude tries to find the gods of humanity where they live on a big mountain, actually finds them, is immediately smited by the Other Gods who protect the gods of humanity. 3/10 he deserved it
Azathoth: dont recall, 0/10
Herbert West- Reanimator: Arkham man Herbert West and his assistant ressurect the dead with little thought to the consequences, then get murdered by a band of said resurrected dead. 5/10
Hypnos: nope 0/10
What the Moon Brings: also nope 0/10
The Hound: still nope 0/10
The Lurking Fear: again, nope 0/10

The Unnameable: no clue 0/10
The Festival: nope 0/10
*Under the Pyramids: ok im pretty sure this is the one with houdini which is the only one i could not read. i went into this mentally prepared for lovecraft's bigotry but i was not mentally prepared for him dropping harry houdini, avid skeptic who absolutely would have beat the shit out of him for this, into the middle of his super racist paranormal horror. -1000/10
The Shunned House: nope 0/10
The Horror at Red Hook: also nope 0/10
He: cool title, no memory of the story. 0/10
In the Vault: wow im bad at this. 0/10
Cool Air: still no 0/10
The Call of Cthulhu: kind of all over the place, there was a thing about artists and then a thing about a cop investigating a cult. 3/10 meh but ill give it a bonus for being a staple of horror fiction.
Pickman's Model: uh artist sees some wild shit and draws it and then it eats him. 2/10 i forget the details
The Strange High House in the Mist: if this is the one im thinking of, dude does a dangerous climb to find a mysterious house and meet the inhabitant who is kind of interdimensional and also being hunted by interdimensional things. also maybe the house eats people? 2/10
The Silver Key: another Randolph Carter one, and i think this is actually the one about him travelling back in time so idk what the other one was. 3/10
The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath: randolph carter goes on a quest in the dream world to find the gods of humanity and ask why they wont let him check out this cool city he can see from his window. lots of action and very wordy and went a lot of different places. 4/10 good read but extremely xenophobic
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward: guy investigates his ancestor who looks disturbingly like him, ancestor comes back to life and kills him and takes his place and a bunch of other stuff happens. mostly a dramatized genealogical study. 3/10 not bad, very suspenseful
The Colour Out Of Space: meteor lands on a farm, scientists get weirded out by it, everything in the area gets weird then dead, alien thing gets enough power from draining nearby life-forms to escape earth. fun twist ending. 4/10 bonus for being one of the better ones, detraction for writing out a 'rural accent'
The Descendant: nope, 0/10
The Very Old Folk: nope again, 0/10
History of the Necronomicon: very dry. fake history of lovecraft's fake book thats super important to a lot of the stories. 0/10
The Dunwich Horror: isolated witchy family has a kid who no one likes that grows up real fast. graphic descriptions of renovation. a horror gets unleashed on the area and the local folklore scholars have to deal with it. 1/10 nothing good enough to counter the xenophobia
Ibid: i remember this one. no idea what it's deal was. pseudo-bibliography? it was weird. 0/10
The Whisperer in Darkness: guy has a correspondance with another guy about local folk legends based on evil crab things. other guy gets straight up replaced by an evil crab thing and first guy doesnt even notice. imagine if you followed up on a scam email and didnt realize anything was up until you saw that the face of the dude you were talking to in person was a mask. 4/10 for the comedy this guy would not last in the internet age at all
At The Mountains of Madness: guy whines about penguins and how awful it would be if there were civilizations that predated humanity. also commits grave desecration. i get hit by the realization that if lovecraft was less of a racist coward he wouldve made a great speculative sci fi author. 3/10 i would love to watch that old asshole get absolutely torn to shreds by the monster fucker community
The Shadow over Innsmouth: Fish People! Leave Them Alone! Or Else! 5/10 the protagonist gets to live the dream by escaping human society and becoming an immortal fish person
The Dreams in the Witch House: dude rents an objectively haunted room, doesnt listen to people trying to help him, gets murdered by a weird rat. later they find a shit ton of bones in the attic. 2/10 meh
Through The Gates of the Silver Key: Randolph Carter transcends time and space, then de-transcends time and space and immediately gets stuck on another planet in the distant past, makes a long and difficult journey back to earth to find that his estate is being divided amongst his heirs. the comedy potential of a man stuck in an alien body dealing with a legal system that has declared him dead is not examined. 2/10
The Thing on the Doorstep: narrator's good friend marries a fish person witch who steals his body. thats basically it. 3/10. at this point im like wow these narrators really refuse to believe the heavily foreshadowed supernatural explanations that turn out to be correct huh.
The Evil Clergyman: dude is in a room. some ghosts (?) show up. dude has a UV light for some reason. Gets his face stolen i guess and just has to live with it. 5/10 for being absolutely buck wild and refusing to explain anything
The Book: nope 0/10
The Shadow Out Of Time: dude gets his body stolen by ancient scholar species. agonizes about it for a while. finds archaeological evidence of said species. finds a book he wrote while living with said species. almost gets eaten by something. 3/10 more cool speculative sci fi but lame protagonist
The Haunter of the Dark: you'd think id remember it bc this was the last one and i read it last night. oh wait, nvm i do remember it. dude finds an old box in a run down culty church and unleashes a horror that then comes and fucks him up. 1/10 meh.

Dream I had that I wanted to draw but I’m lazy so uh... here’s what it would of looked like.
So the main four (plus butters) see an ad for some new hella cool space boots. Yet they are a entire 20 dollars!! And damn that’s a lot to some kiddos.
They get a idea to set up a lemonade stand,It’s actually doing pretty well and they are getting plenty of customers. This of course leads cartman to start bragging about it until Wendy gets tired of his shit and gets the girls to set of their OWN lemonade stand which draws customers away from them.
This makes cartman mad.
He of course thinks it’s a good idea to put some “special sugar” in their lemonade to help boost sales.
It works and the boys are pretty ecstatic about getting that sweet sweet cash.
Randy checks in on stan to see what he is doing and is like “Woah! A lemonade stand,I remember having one of these as a kid.” He tosses the boys a quarter after picking up one of the lil plastic cups of lemonade. Then proceeds to take a sip,then makes a small “hmn” noise and takes another sip,and smacks his lips.
“There’s cocaine in this.” He says in a monotone voice and suddenly Kyle gets that face with the angry eyebrows as he stared at cartman,who’s putting on his “innocent” face.
Then kyle and cartmam argue along the lines of
“YOUVE BEEN PUTTING COCAINE IN THE LEMONADE??”
“ssSsshh SHUT UP KALH!! we can’t speak of our special ingredient to the public...It’ll give em ideas”
“Oh my god why did I trust that you wouldn’t somehow turn this whole ideal illegal?! ... where did you even get the fucking cocaine?”
“Hm,I was thinking of telling you out I don’t like that tone... I guess you’ll never know KAHL”
After then having a short staring contest of strong glares and Kyle’s eyebrows getting even more angled he cracks
“FINE FINE! I got it from my moms sock drawer....”
“Wait... what??”
“Yeah I know it’s nasty that it was around all her probably cum soaked socks. You caught me this lemonade is very unhygienic”
“IM TALKING ABOUT YOUR WHORE OF A MOM OWNING COCAINE DIPSHIT!”
Then stan speaks up
“Wait you didn’t already know? I mean...she’s a prostitude dude. Of course she does hardcore drugs. It’s like the square rectangle thing,all whores are druggies but not all druggies are whores. Geez dude”
Meanwhile cartman would be looking pretty flustered and mad
“Ay! Keep your hippie mouth off the topic of my mom!”
Kyle looks enraged
“Wait so you can call my mom a bitch but we can’t call your mom a whore?!”
“Mmm....yes. Thanks for understanding Kalh”
the smallest of grins would appear on Kyle’s face
“whore whore whoRE WHORE WHORE-“
“AY! BITCH BITCH BICTH BITCH BICHt-“
Their screaming overlaps and then like... I think they kissed?? It was really blurry. But damn is kinda cool my dreams happen to be pretty similar to southpark consept ideas.
And uh... I forgot the rest. This dream was pretty wild tho. I think Cthulhu was there all for some reason?? Yeah...
I swear I’ll post art again soon. But artblock is killing me

spn 6x21, liveblog, collected posts (all 17 of them) or as i like to call it: They should have roasted H.P. more, also Cas is going very darkside now and also Ben & Lisa deserve better (i typed Bela instead of Ben at first, which tbh is just the truth!). Also like 50% of my posts here are me bitching about them killing of minority characters, bc Yiketh, it’s bad!
The creepy af house with the typewriter and all of that makes me very happy
#I. Love. Gothic. Horror!!!
Aaand the famous deerhead makes an appearance again
#it fits in real well here
 Supernatural killing H.P. Lovecraft is big sexy
#should have killed more racists
 “Bobby Singer paranoid bastard”
 Sam fucking nerding out when he hears about H.P. is cute though
#and the fact that Dean is like Am I Supposed to Know Who That Is??? #to me at least makes no sense for his character cause youre telling me Dean doesn’t know Cthulhu? #like that horror nerd would know h.p. lovecraft and not ‘be too busy having sex with women’
 Supernatural Proverb: Time to introduce a new black male character… AND KILL HIM IMMEDIATELY!!!
 I know they had to find a way to remove Lisa from the storyline, but this is literally the worst way possible to do so. Also fuck Crowley.
#oh No!!! Too many Ladies!!! (aka one! One Lady!) and uh dude who has to die? Ah yes a random black guy
 Sam’s hair is so pretty in this scene
 Another Asian guy is just shown for a few seconds only to be brutally murdered bc he’s possessed by a demon. So Cool! That vessel definitely deserved it.
 Not 100% sure how I feel about all the sleeping with the enemy allegations against Cas bc he’s working with Crowley. I mean seriously, what is it with this show and comparing working with the enemy constantly with sexual intercourse or rape?
 Supernatural: Also lets introduce this one time female character that knows her shit in the hunting community… Ups, she will actually die.
 I love Eleanor so much!!!
@ spn challenge stop killing cool female characters!!!
 Seriously this episode is just them fridging and removing as many female characters from the show as possible
#like Gwen and Eve and Rachel are all dead #Lisa will be removed from the story line via amnesia #Ellen and Jo were only alive for one episode before they were re-buried #Eleanor will die bc of course she will #like the only recurring female characters that are left for now are Meg and Jody
 Playing a possessed!Lisa must have been so much fun
 Dean slapping Ben is the worst thing ever
#i don’t care what the circumstances where you NEVER EVER slap a kid #fuck off & burn in hell dean! #and then Ben is forced to kill a bunch of people, like that’s the worst fucking thing!!! #now I want to write a fanfiction from Ben’s perspective about life after this
 And then the fact that instead of giving Ben and Lisa the chance to decide their fate for themselves, Dean just makes Cas erase their minds. As if that will keep them save! As if that will make them feel better! As if that changes anything! Fuck off Dean, Fuck You, Fuck You So Fucking Much!!!
#im gonna write a fanfiction now!!! FUCK ME I GUESS!!!!
 Sam: calls Dean out for being a shady bitch who just erased their memories, especially since he himself knows how much it sucks to have is memories erased (ding, ding, he still doesn’t remember his soulless year, there’s still a gap there!!!)
Dean, in true Dean fashion, aka very abusive and with so many issues: “You ever mention Lisa and Ben again, I will break your nose.”
#me: Dean Winchester, Your Kneecaps Are Mine And I’m Here To Collect!!!

I got tagged by @henryhiems, thank you! (And f u tumblr for scrapping my draft for this)
Name: Sanni
Nickname: Well, I might have to share one that my friend has recently started using to annoy me just because it is so hideous; Kiekie. Like. Why.
Gender: Female
Star sign: Scorpio
Height: 163cm
Sexual orientation: Pan
Hogwarts house: Slytherin
Favourite colour: Deep blues and purples
Favourite colour to paint the walls: Is white a boring answer? Or maybe a really light blue.
Favourite colour of lipstick: Oxblood
Favourite animal: Do dinosaurs count?
Time right now: 22:05
Cat or dog person: Both!
Favourite fictional character: So many, I have no idea how to choose. I always liked the bad guys and Christopher Carrion from Abarat will always hold a special place in my heart. Although lately I have been having so many feelings about Garrus Vakarian…
Number of blankets I sleep with: 1. I’m generally really bad with cold but I absolutely cannot sleep if it’s too hot.
Favourite singer/band: Queen/David Bowie
Dream trip: Rome.
Dream job: I would really, really love to do some kind of linguistic research, preferably with the classics. I’m also weirdly fascinated by Proto-Indoeuropean.
When was this blog created: Like 2009 or 2010 I think? I have no idea how to access my archive via mobile. But I have always had the same account.
When did your blog reach its peak: Still waiting for that…
What made you decide to make a tumblr: All of my online friends at the time had one so. Peer pressure I guess.
Why did you pick your url: I didn’t like my old one anymore and I stumbled across Volumnia Fox as a pseudonyme for Virginia Woolf while reading some notes about Orlando and it sort of stuck on my brain.
Last book you read: I’m in the middle of The Call of Cthulhu and yes, I know Lovecraft was a piece of shit. The last entire book was the new Finnish translation of The Iliad and Odyssey. Fucking finally. The last thing you ate: Näkkäriä. (Whatever that is in English?)
Last movie you watched: After the Wedding (I think?)
Last song you listened to: Gwen Stefani & Eve - Rich Girl. Judge me.
If you could be anywhere right now where would you be: I don’t really know. I sort of wish I was hanging out with a friend of mine but like. I usually do.
What time would you travel to: Maybe Rome under Hadrianus’ rule. Just because, well, Rome. And he’s my favourite emperor.
Fictional character you would like to hang out with for a day: Garrus would be sort of cool. Or maybe Francis Abernathy, we could bitch about Greek and talk about how gay we both are.
I’m going to tag @hintzs, @aortta, @symmetryorigin, @bowie-base-one, @pihtiote
//krhm forgot two questions bc im horrible at using the app, added them…
