In the new show category we would love you to listen and support:

Camlann the postapocalyptic Arthurian fantasy which has among an amazing cast, Fay Roberts our dastardly Principal Adept, being Welsh but in an entirely different way. They are crowdfunding for Season 2 right now!

The Grotto, a show about trauma caves full of banging tunes, which features David Ault, (who plays grouchy old Blethin Stormsinger)

... and Submitted for the Approval of the Midnight Pals, in which Daisy waterboards someone, Lou is drowned, repeatedly, and David is resurrected, possibly by bees, and honestly that's not the weirdest stuff that happens in that show.

And of course, last but by no means least, the Silt Verses our beloved, our inspiration, our precious crab friend, whom we love very much, and with whom we share B, Rissa, Rhys, Kale, David, Tanja, Rae, both of us, like…half the cast, please vote for them in the Existing Productions category!

Finally, regarding Season 2 of Eeler's Choice - we will return to Eskmouth with Season 2 …. when it's good and ready - but - it is at least written! All being well, watch this space in the new year for news about crowdfunding and other eel related things. Have an eely good Christmas, Yule, Candletide, or whatever you celebrate this winter, or summer if you're in the Southern Hemisphere. Byeeee!

We are currently crowdfunding our Season 2 which will feature parodies of Hellraiser, Angela Carter's Red Riding Hood variations from The Bloody Chamber, The Watchers, Interview with the Vampire, "A Shadow over Insmouth", Richard Bachman, and Rebecca. If you like a healthy dose of laughs with your horror, we just might be your jam.

After Midnight by Donka Nucheva Ellectra

More drawings I did yesterday (technically today? Past midnight I think)

[thesulkycroissant]

I think Midnighter, upon meeting Batman, should spend the rest of the time .5 seconds away from punching him. I say this as someone who loves Bruce deeply. These characters were not created to coexist.

okay but like. what would've happened if stain was in ua and became a pro-hero?

because stain, aizawa, yamada, kayama, and shirakumo were all in high school at the same time when they were teenagers. he just went to a different school as them, but dropped out because he hated his classmate's ideologies.

maybe akaguro (stain) enrolls into ua? or he was transferred early on into it somehow because of poor behavior due to his growing anger towards his classmate'e behavior? he would've been in kayama's grade since they're both a year older than aizawa, shirakumo, and yamada.

he probably wouldn't have been able to pass the entrance exam/the hero course classes were filled, and he knew he had to train in order to have a high rank in the sports festival in his first year. he does so and gets a high rank in the festival, and then he's switched into the hero course?

if akaguro was transferred to ua and entered the hero course, he probably wouldn't befriend anyone and would adopt a mindset similar to shinsou's—but his reasoning is that he doesn't want to befriend anyone with "selfish desires".

then when the new first years are enrolled into ua, including shirakumo, yamada, and aizawa—i think aizawa would've gone into the general studies course first for the same problem as akaguro, of not being able to pass the physical entrance exam.

somehow, akaguro would've met aizawa and his first question is "why do you want to be a hero?". when he learns its not for self gain, he starts training him before the festival, and aizawa whoops ass in the sports festival like akaguro did in his first year.

they still talk and are fairly close before akaguro is dragged into the rooftop squad—the whole reason why i think he'd be dragged in is because kayama notices that him and aizawa are friends, and befriends him as well before dragging him to their spot.

akaguro would eventually start to lighten up, and become more laid back and open, by being around them—though he still doesn't agree with those who want to be heroes for fame, he isn't as overbearing about it. he helps teach shirakumo and yamada too, and maybe is able to save shirakumo? 🤷‍♀️

he starts out as closed off, cold, and maybe a little rude, but becomes more friendly and understanding by being around people who forced him out of being closed off. a group he finds himself enjoying and caring about.

i'm not sure what his hero name would be. maybe paralyzer? nightcrawler? 🤷‍♀️ anyways. as an adult he would've become an underground hero, maybe alongside aizawa if shirakumo does still die.

if shirakumo does die, and he becomes an underground hero alongside aizawa. he keeps tabs on aizawa and checks on him with random visits while on the job, and encourages him to follow kayama's advice to become a teacher—maybe he knew about her idea, and was just as concerned abt aizawa.

idk, just spit balling and don't really have any concrete ideas, i just wanted to ramble abt the idea. any add ons/ideas are welcome!! chizome akaguro my beloved underrated mha character <333

Midnight Pals: Omens

Arkasha Stevenson: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the first omen Stevenson: it's about a plot to breed the antichrist King: wait this sounds familiar Stevenson: yeah it's based on The Omen King: no that's not it

King: wait! i've got it! King: this is totally ripping off Good Omens! King: it's the same set up! Lovecraft: you're right! even the name is similar! Barker: wow, i hope someone gets fired for THAT blunder

King: neil! Neil! did you know that the omen is ripping off your book? Neil Gaiman: steve, good omens is a parody of the omen King: King: what Gaiman: i mean, even the name is similar Gaiman: that should have been a clue

Gaiman: you must understand, steve, that once the omen was the biggest thing in horror Gaiman: we believed its grip on man's imagination would last the ages! But alas... it is forgotten! Gaiman: forgotten like the fading filaments of a dream in the morning light! King: oh ok

Gaiman: now, like the great ozymandias,king of kings, memory of the omen has scattered to the howling winds of the glittering desert of oblivion Gaiman: and like prometheus the titan of old my torment knows no bounds Koontz: neil! did you know the first omen ripped off your book?

Gaiman: no young dean for you see the omen actually predates good omens Koontz: huh? but it just came out! Gaiman: no see the original omen came our before the good omens book Koontz: original omen? book? Koontz: i don't understand

Mary Shelley: sup fuckers Shelley: so neil i hear they ripped off your book Gaiman: no i Shelley: i'd be real pissed if someone ripped off my book Gaiman: they didn't Shelley: i'd give em one of these [pantomimes shivving]

Gaiman: please! no one ripped off good omens Barker: oh they definitely ripped off good omens Poe: seems pretty obvious, yeah Gaiman: edgar! he's just stirring up shit! Gaiman: you know that! Gaiman: why are you believing him now? Poe: no he's right, it's an open and shut case

Neil Gaiman: it's not a rip off! good omens was literally an omen parody! Gaiman: if you won't believe me, ask terry! Terry Pratchett: hey is anyone hungry? i could really go for some soup right now
