SHOWS OUR CHARACTERS WOULD LISTEN TO

9. DANA ZULU

@hellofromthehallowoods dana would like to think she's like riot and in a lot of ways she's right. I like to think if they ever met they'd make their own band. @stationarcadia dana would probably have her own oc, and a deep obsession with all the punk-ness of this show @room56pod it reminds her of her own high school experience just... maybe with less cryptids

Since my previous podcast recommendation list was pretty popular, I've decided to make another, with another bunch of excellent podcasts:

13 Minutes or Less - Short podcast with very short episodes, about a pizza chef who doesn't like dealing to people but has to do some deliveries due to short staffing. Very much not her thing, but she does her best. As it turns out, her clients are quite a bit stranger and spookier than expected...

Additional Postage Required - Sci-Fi adventure about a nonbinary courier who gains the ability (or curse...) to get visions about the contents, past, and sender of packages they touch. They get roped into a rebellion. There's hoverboard racing. It's awesome.

Among the Stars and Bones - A team of xenoarcheologists search a distant world for traces of a long-vanished aliens. It's been a while since I watched this one, so I don't remember it very well, but I know that I enjoyed it. Very good sci-fi horror.

Dark Ages - Fantasy workplace comedy about a supernatural museum. Quite a lot of fun.

Dragon Shanty - Fantasy story about two bards traveling the high seas. There's dragons aplenty. Very queer. Excellent songs.

Falling Forward - Hacker story loosely based on the myth of Icarus and the Labyrinth, about getting back at a terrible corporation. Kinda experimental, this one has the shortest episodes I've ever seen.

Hotel Daydream - Podcast about the goings-on at a supernatural hotel. Very inventive, with really interesting characters.

Jar of Rebuke - Mystery about a researcher at an ominous cryptozoological organization out in the rural US. He's got no memories of his past and keeps dying and coming back. A story about cryptids, identity, queerness, neurodivergence, and community.

Light Hearts - Slice of Life podcast about turning an old, haunted building into a cafe and queer community center. The ghosts lead to some very fun shenanigans.

Lost Terminal - Mentioned in the other list but not expanded on. This is a hopepunk story set on an Earth devestated by climate change. Told from the POV of an adorable AI who watches this Earth from a space station, observing how humanity re-builds itself and finds a brighter future.

Mayfair Watchers Society - You know Trevor Henderson? The guy who drew Sirenhead, Long Horse, and other such creepypasta creatures in his found footage style? Yeah, this is a horror anthology based on his works, directed by him. Set in the rural town of Mayfair, where strange creatures are a lot more common than elsewhere... Each episode has a slightly different framing device, with some being found footage audio, others meeting recordings, phone calls, etc.

Monstrous Agonies - An advice podcast for the british creature community. Many of the advice letters are sent in by listeners - there's two by myself, one from an ant that can hear and send radio and one from a fey who is looking for curse advice. Some letters are metaphors for queerness, clashing cultures, ableism, and minority communities, others just some urban fantasy fun. Has a little bit of plot, but most episodes have an anthology style. Fast approaching the finale!

Mx Bad Luck - Slice of Life about someone who is cursed with bad luck. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny. Can recommend.

Neighbourly - Neighbourly follows the residents of Little Street, house by house. What they do, how they interact with each other, and what skeletons are hiding in their closet. Starts out as a spooky urban fantasy thing that's almost an anthology, but weaves itself into quite a mysterious plot over time...

SINKHOLE - Short-form audio podcast presented as a collection of audio posts from a member of a community of data restoration hobbyists in a sometimes-unfamiliar future. Mystery about disability, internet communities, and how things change with time.

Second Star to the Left - Scout-explorer Gwen Hartley has five years to explore and prepare her planet for settlement. With no aid but her robots and the anxious voice of her long-distance scout-minder Bell Summers in her ear, she's hoping she's ready for anything.

Someone Dies In This Elevator - Anthology where every episode, someone dies in an elevator. You wouldn't believe how creative they get with that simple concept!

Tales from the Low City - By the maker of Mistholme Museum, this podcast explores the everyday lifes of the last people on an alien world, after the surface had become uninhabitable and everyone had fled down into the last city, the subterranean Low City. This one made me cry a lot!

Tartarus - In a secret facility deep beneath Antarctica, an anxious astrobiologist, a terse station manager, and an AI keep humanity safe from the monsters they imprison.

The Attic Monologues - Queer urban fantasy story about a university student who decides to record themself practicing monologues using a collection they found in their attic. Don't forget to listen to the post-credit scenes!

The Bridge - Surreal alternate universe horror story about the keepers of a bridge over the Atlantic. Gets pretty spooky.

The Green Horizon - Sci-Fi comedy about a na'er-do-well Irish space captain and his rag-tag crew traversing a war-torn galaxy in search of fame and fortune. Very fun podcast.

The Lavender Tavern - Anthology podcast with original gay fairytales. Most are quite memorable!

The Vesta Clinic - Sci-Fi story about a clinic that helps various interesting alien lifeforms with their medical issues. Excellent worldbuilding and characters!

Tides - The story of Dr. Winifred Eurus, a xenobiologist trapped on an unfamiliar planet with hostile tidal forces and a fascinating ecosystem. She must use her wits, sarcasm, and intellectual curiosity to survive long enough to be rescued. But there might be more to life on this planet than she expected...

Hope this list is as helpful as the last!

You folk seemed the most interested in the other list, so I'm being bold and @ing you all.

Residents of Proserpina Park is a mythology audio drama. It is currently funding season 4 and 5 on Indiegogo. I’m call on all of you to help however you can.

Hello everyone. I’ve got another call to action for all of you. As you might, or might not know, @proserpinapark is currently funding not one, but two new seasons coming out later this year. I’m calling on all of you to do your part to help out.

So, some of you might be wondering what is Residents of Proserpina Park. Why, it is a monster of the week, anime-inspired audio drama. Think like Percy Jackson meets Pokémon meets Scooby-Doo, with a dash of Jackie Chan Adventures thrown in. Throw all that good stuff into the blender, and you’ve got an excellent audio drama.

Residents of Proserpina Park follows a young woman named Alina who discovers a park that is, basically, a nature reserve for mythological creatures. Each episode follows Alina and the gang meeting a new creature from across World Mythology and Folklore. At the same time, they are try to uncover the mysteries of the park itself.

One thing I love about RoPP is shear variety of creatures. We got creatures Filipino Mythology, Māori Mythology, Lenape Folklore, Aztec Mythology, Lithuanian Folklore, and a whole lot more.

Now for a bit about the people who make RoPP possible. Series creator Angela Yih has worked on podcasts for Realm, Pod People, and more. Their credits include shows such as Overleaper, Echo Park, Blood Forest, and Harley Quinn and the Joker: Sound Mind!

The point being, Angela knows their stuff. But not just the technical stuff. They’ve also got quite a few voice acting credits under their belt. Angela has lent their voice to works such as Dreamscape Highway, Mx. Bad Luck, Omega Star 7, and even The Books of Thoth.

And what about the rest of the gang? We are over fifty percent people of color, fifty percent female, and I’m autistic. We have performers from all walks of life, and we’re all very passionate about bringing these mythological stories to life for your listening pleasure.

But okay, what’s in it for you? I’m very glad you asked. You see, you’ve got six different options to choose from. Or you can donate a custom amount with no perks. But if you do what perks, here’s what your options are…

$5 - Tourist

All the shoutouts! Shoutouts on social media, on our website, and in the last episode of season 4 for being an awesome supporter

$15 - Visitor

Early access to ad-free episodes a week in advance as well as all the perks from the Tourist Tier

$30 - Local

A digital copy of the official Residents of Proserpina Park Light Novel, which is a collection of short stories focused on the characters from the show, and all the perks from the previous tiers.

$50 - Member

A physical copy of the official Residents of Proserpina Park Light Novel plus other merchandise and all the perks from the previous tiers.

$100 - Resident

Learn what it’s like to be on the show or work on an audio drama. Work with Angela Yih and be featured in a bonus episode in season 5 as well as all the perks from the previous tiers!

$300 - VIP

Become an executive producer on Residents of Proserpina Park and be credited in season 4 and 5! Determine a creature for season 6 as well as all the perks from the previous tiers.

So far we have raised $696, and I contributed $306 out of that. But you don’t have to contribute as much as I did. Small drops fill the bucket, and every little bit helps. If you aren’t financially able to help, then I would only ask you help spread the word, and encourage others to pitch in. We can all do our part to make season four and season five the best seasons of RoPP yet.

So, you have heard the call the action. Now the ball is in your court. Do your part out to help the Residents of Proserpina Park Indiegogo campaign however you are able.

Hello from the hallowoods is really good at paralels between characters

the hfth brainrot is going strong and I need to take a bit to rant about how good all of the parralels between all of the characters are because oh my good mx wellman you truly outdid yourself on them

Riot-The Misters R&W-Moth: all three spent their entire time since the black rain in bunkers, only to be forced to leave

Riot-Clara-Moth: all three spent their time isolated in their respective safe houses with their families, only for something to go terribly wrong and them being forced to flee. They lose their parents, but after leaving all found a new mentor/father figure to teach them how to become strong enough to survive

Clara-Olivier: kinda obvious basicaly everybody references how clara is slowly becoming the new olivier and in the season 3 finale they make it even more clear by saying that blackletter didnt even remove olivier from the plan. also both dated riot

Walt-Bern: both were survivors in the woods but while walt used compassion and understanding, bern initialy refused to believe either diggory or olivier should be allowed to survive

Soloman-Irene: both were masters of the dark arts who attempted to reanimate the dead

The Resting Place crew-The Grand Crossroads crew: a group of a renagade devil, a powerful creature animated by the black rains, and a woman who takes her power from another indiscribably who acts as a lancer and supporter of the devil

The Countess-The Count: kinda obvious dont think I need to explain this one

Diggory-Cindy: connection to rizwana and dedication to stopping the end of the world

Diggory-Mort: deceased members of Rizwanas doomed expedition who in the end have to choose which one of them will die saving the world

Diggory-Creep: beings who have stolen the memories of Rizwanas expedition mixed with the black water

Friday-Penny: both have luck based powers that cause them to remain trapped and isolated being tormented for years

Nikignik-Ethel: both communicate stories through dreams, but LEM uses it to talk about herself and tell her own story, while Nik barely ever talks about it, especialy in season 1

Walt&Riot-Winona&Alena: young person with older mentor with a special sword

Ray-Gale-Bill: Moths 3 father figures, each of which take a different approach towards raising moth

Buck&Rick-Hector&Jonah: another pretty simple one

Jonah-Faceless King-Rat King: three kings of the end with three different perspectives on what that means for them

Marolmar-Nikignik-Xizikxiz: watch starcrossed gods please even if you have never watched a single episode of the show before I am begging you its so good

Al-Percy: the two ghosts, both only have one friend who can ever see them and carries their instrument around and a bad single parent

Ms Wicker-Indrid: both mothers who join the church of the hallowed name and have a chance to save their son from the spring service

Riot-Clementine: I really should not need to explain this one

I could go on for literal hours but literaly you can choose any two characters and their stories will parralel each other in some way and let you see something new/unique about how each handles their situation in contrast to the other.

If you have not watched HFTH please do so it is genuinely the best podcast if not the best story I have ever seen(or heard? its a podcast so im not sure what proper terminolodgy would be)

Destruction in Hiroshima - 9/16/2017

Destruction in Hiroshima, the 2nd of the Destruction shows this year, just wrapped up a little bit ago. You can watch it now on NJPWWorld. Prior to the show starting, Kazuchika Okada announced there will be a fundraiser to help medical and other costs for the former IWGP (and Triple Crown and GHC) champion Yoshihiro Takayama, paralyzed from the shoulders down since an accident during a match in DDT in May.

Results:

Destruction in Hiroshima - 9/16/2017, Hiroshima Sun Plaza Hall  (NJPWWorld)

Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI & Jado [CHAOS] d. Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Jushin Thunder Liger & Tiger Mask IV (YOSHI-HASHI > Tiger, Butterfly Lock, 7:20)

Juice Robinson & David Finlay Jr. d. Bad Luck Fale & Leo Tonga [Bullet Club] (Robinson > Tonga, Pulp Friction, 4:32)

Roppongi Vice Final Match: Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta [CHAOS] d. Yujiro Takahashi & Chase Owens [Bullet Club] (Beretta > Owens, Strong Zero, 6:55)

Togi Makabe, Michael Elgin & Kota Ibushi [FREE] d. Minoru Suzuki, Takashi Iizuka & TAKA Michinoku [SZKG] (Ibushi > Iizuka, Kamigoe, 8:09)

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship: Ryusuke Taguchi & Ricochet [FREE] © d. Yoshinobu Kanemaru & Taichi [SZKG] (Taguchi > Kanemaru, Oh My & Garankle, 15:41) - Funky Future succeed their 1st defense

IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship 3-Way Match: Hanson & Raymond Rowe [ROH] © d. Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa [Bullet Club] and Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. [SZKG] (Rowe > Smith, Fallout, 11:05) - War Machine succeed their 3rd defense

Tetsuya Naito, SANADA, EVIL, BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi [Los Ingobernables] d. Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano, Will Ospreay & Gedo [CHAOS] (BUSHI > Gedo, MX, 12:17)

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship: KUSHIDA © d. El Desperado [SZKG] (Back To The Future, 16:56) - KUSHIDA succeeds his 2nd defense

IWGP Intercontinental Championship: Hiroshi Tanahashi © d. Zack Sabre Jr. [SZKG] (High Fly Flow, 30:13) - Tanahashi succeeds his 2nd defense

Tanahashi retained, and then called out Kota Ibushi, for a challenge at King of Pro Wrestling. Ibushi beat Tanahashi during G1 Climax, of course. Will Ospreay also challenged KUSHIDA post-match for King of Pro Wrestling; Hiromu tried to throw in too but then Ospreay basically coldcocked him. So Ospreay can either go 0-5 against KUSHIDA, or Ospreay can finally beat him, and then we can get Hiromu v. Ospreay at WK12. Maybe. 

War Machine retained again, so quite why they're doing a third match is beyond me. EVIL hit an EVIL STO on Okada yet again, and post-match EVIL also hit Darkness Falls onto chairs on Okada whilst Naito put Ishii in a figure-4.

Rocky Romero had a busy night: in addition to the finale for Roppongi Vice, he also did English commentary, and then, following Funky Future retaining, he said he had a team called "Roppongi 3K" coming for them, presumably as a manager, as Rocky said in a Periscope that he was retiring from the Junior Tag belt scene. There was plenty of speculation of who Roppongi 3K could be. One idea offered was OI4K (Ohio Is For Killers), the indie team of Dave & Jake Crist, citing their removal from a European tour right before KOPW. Problem there is, OI4K are also working Global Force (or whatever TNA is called this week) and DDT, and GFW's Bound for Glory event is on 10/8/2017. (This also dovetails into the idea we brought up on the last podcast that the Switchblade videos are for Sami Callihan, who is allied with OI4K, but then again so is DDT's Shigehiro Irie.) Personally I'm going with returning Young Lions being more likely, with Jay White as the Switchblade guy and Roppongi 3K as Sho Tanaka & Yohei Komatsu. We shall, as ever, see.

The biggest controversy of the show on Twitter was the referees wearing the LIJ x Hiroshima Carp t-shirts. Look, they were in Hiroshima, it's the local pro baseball team, NJPW has a cross-promotional deal with them. No partiality to LIJ at all, just a merchandising scheme. Tranquilo, yo.

Overall this was a show definitely worth watching. The IC and both junior title matches were well worth it, even tho Suzuki-gun horseshit is in all three.

The tour continues tomorrow:

- 9/17/2017, Ehime Saijo City General Gymnasium

Jushin Thunder Liger & Shota Umino v. Tiger Mask IV & Tetsuhiro Yagi

Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Tomoyuki Oka v. Michael Elgin & Katsuya Kitamura

Ryusuke Taguchi, Ricochet [FREE] & Hirai Kawato v. Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Taichi & El Desperado [SZKG]

Juice Robinson & David Finlay Jr. v. Chase Owens [Bullet Club] & Leo Tonga

Hirooki Goto, YOSHI-HASHI, Trent Beretta & Jado [CHAOS] v. Bad Luck Fale, Yujiro Takahashi, Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa [Bullet Club] 

Hiroshi Tanahashi, Togi Makabe, Hanson [ROH] & Raymond Rowe [ROH] v. Lance Archer, Davey Boy Smith Jr., Takashi Iizuka & TAKA Michinoku [SZKG]

Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, Toru Yano, Will Ospreay & Rocky Romero [CHAOS] v. Tetsuya Naito, SANADA, EVIL, BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi [Los Ingobernables]

Gods and Spirits Struggle in Heaven Official's Blessing Japanese Dubbed PV

  A new preview video has been released for the Japanese dubbed version of Heaven Official's Blessing (known in China as Tiān Guān Cì Fú), an animated TV series based on the fantasy novel of the same name by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu that follows the otherworldly exploits of an ill-fortuned immortal who ascends to Heaven but he gains the reputation of being a god of bad luck.

  The preview video (below) highlights the main Japanese voice cast and also features the songs "Friizia" by Sora Amamiya and "Jiu no Kuchizuke" ("The Kiss of Blessed Rain") by Sid, which are the ending and opening themes for the Japanese dubbed adaptation of Heaven Official's Blessing, respectively.

    Funimation describes the story of Heaven Official's Blessing as follows:

  Xie Lian, the crown prince of Xian Le Kingdom, successfully ascends to Heaven during his third trial in spite of successive demotions. However, he accidentally breaks the Gold Palace of heavenly officials. With no human worshiping him, Xie Lian has to descend to the secular world to exorcise ghosts, which may help him sustain his divinity.

    Heaven Official's Blessing is directed by Li Haoling and features animation production by Haoliners Animation League. The series originally streamed in China on bilibili in October of 2021, and it is also available via streaming in the United States via Funimation. Heaven Official's Blessing will broadcast in Japan on TOKYO MX and BS11 beginning on July 04, 2021.

WTF Friday: Roster Update!

Got your attention? 

Bwahahahahaha... just messing with you guys. 

First of all before I get to the roster stop what you are doing right now and add David Amoyal’s Calcio Land podcast to your podcasting app NOW. It is the very best podcast out there for Serie A transfer rumors and features excellent interviews.

DO IT

NOW!

You will not regret it and it promises to only get better and better as the year goes on.

Now to the roster update!

Here goes!

As usual a position by position look at the roster along with what year each player is signed through.

KEEPERS (4)

Donnarumma #1 (2021), Donnarumma #2 (2021), Storari (2018), Gabriel (2018)

Funny how quickly all the hate for Donnarumma has subsided. All it took was one nice save in a competitive game. I’m sure folks will give him hell when he makes some errors this year, but whatever. I’m glad we are past all that crap. Can we all agree to move on? Ok? Ok. 

Also, I’m surprised/annoyed that Gabriel is still here. I was hoping we would have found a place for him by now. Send him on loan SOMEWHERE. I am still surprised that after he had a spectacular season while leading carpi to Serie A there has been zero interest in him. He’s been rotting for 2 years now.  Before we get too excited to see him go, it’s possible he’s the best backup we have, ahead of 64 year old Storari and Donnarumma #2.

POST-CRAIOVA UPDATE: yeah, we good at keeper

# of players to go? 1

CENTER BACKS (8)

Musacchio (2021), Gomez (2021), Bonucci (2021), Romagnoli (2020), Zapata (2019), Vergara (2019), Simic (2018) and Paletta (2018)

Looks like we are pretty set here with only a few more subtractions to come. Ely was sent on his way for good to Aleves of Spain. We got 3 million plus a percentage of future sale. Honesly, I’m glad we got anything in return for him. A bag of oranges for a guy that couldn’t play 90 minutes without getting a red is good times. Vergara will certainly go on loan, be cut or sold at some point. No big loss. Simic? Not much news there, though neither he nor Vergara went to China which means they are on the outs.  Beyond that I imagine one of either Paletta or Zapata goes, leaving us with 5 CBs. I’d put my money on Paletta moving, but does it really matter? Hopefully not. 

POST-CRAIOVA UPDATE: It’s been a lot better back there and Bonucci and Romagnoli haven’t even played yet. 

# of players to go? Probably 3

FULLBACKS/WING BACKS (5)

Conti (2022), Rodriguez (2021), Abate (2019), Calabria (2019),  Antonelli (2019)

Since last i did an update DeSciglio (Merda), Vangioni (Monterrey Liga MX) and Felicioli (Loan to Hellas Verona) have all left the current squad. This leaves us with 5 which seems like a pretty good number going into the year. The one question mark remaining would be what kind of role and/or playing time Calabria gets this year. Clearly Conti and RR start most games, Abate and Antonelli fill in and Calabria.... helps fold the laundry? My hope is that he does well enough to displace Antonelli, my least favorite of this group. A loan probably makes more sense just to get him games. Send him to a newly promoted side or a Serie B side where he can get 25+ starts. With us going back and forth between 442 and 352, his chances might be slim. 

POST CRAIOVA UPDATE: Holy shit conti is really, REALLY good.

# of players to go? Maybe 1

MIDFIELD (10)

Calhanoglu (2021), Kessie (2021), Biglia (2021), Bonaventura (2020), Locatelli (2020), Montolivo (2019), Zanellato (2019), Mauri (2019), Sosa (2018) Crociata (2018)

Bertolacci is now gone on loan to Genoa. A combination of injuries and bad luck was his Waterloo. Sosa seemingly has one foot out the door with rumors of him going back to Turkey persisting. Nothing official yet though. Football Italia is reporting that Crociata has officially signed a 4 year deal with Crotone. Nothing official from the club yet though. My number 10 up there is kind of misleading but it still needs to be dropped to probably 7. there’s no way to know right now what the squad number will be come day one, but you can bet it won’t have 10 midfielders listed. 

Just look at those first 5 names listed above though and take a deep breath. The MISSfield has been such a disater for so many years..... it almost... (SNIFF SNIFF)... brings a tear to my eye...

POST CRAIOVA UPDATE: With Loca starting yesterday and Biglia being available for the next round of the Europa League, have we seen the last of Monty? More importantly, who will serve AviA his morning coffee? 

# of players to go? At least 3. Maybe 4..... Sosa, Crociata, Mauri and Monty. 

FORWARDS (7)

Silva (2022),  Bacca (2020), Niang (2019), Suso (2019), Cutrone (2018), Zigoni (2018), Borini (2018)

Since my last roster update 3 weeks ago the only movement is Lapadula joining Genoa on loan. While I will miss his personality, work rate and random social media posts it was hard to see him getting much time on this team. A poor man’s Diego Costa, he will quickly be a fan favorite at Genoa and hopefully have a good year. 

Speaking of my least favorite Brazilian turned Spaniard, I am 100% behind making a move for him. Sure his antics disgust me and his overall attitude and constant use of the dark arts makes we want to puke. Basically, he’s an a-hole. BUT..... if we sign him he becomes OUR A-HOLE. For how many years did we love having Gattuso? Same guy! How many of you HATED Materazzi? Same guy! For you old timers thing Bill Laimbeer in basketball or Tie Domi/Esa Tikkanen in hockey. Irritating agitators but also guys that can play. Costa can certainly play. There’s no arguing that. 

I mentioned back in June that a move for Costa along with a midwinter acquisition of Zlatan would be the perfect band-aid for this team up top. I realize names like Belotti and Aubameyang are still swirling, but it’s becoming more and more evident to me that a big time/big $$$$ striker signing may not happen this summer. 

POST CRAIOVA UPDATE: Cutrone is damn good in a Lapadula-esque sort fof way, but I still think we need to consider more top tier options up top. I’m not sure Cutrone and Silva can get us to where we need to be. Also, can this be anything else but putting Niang in the shop window? Tell ya what though, him crashing the box to put that header on target? We haven’t seen that from him ever. If he could ever dial his aggression up and forget all the step over nonsense, he could be somebody in the box. 

# of players to go? I’m gonna say at least 3: Bacca, Niang and Zigoni. 

OVERALL (34)

That leaves a lot of fat that still needs trimmed. I come up with roughly 10 players that will likely go, give or take, which puts us in the neighborhood of 24 players. that makes sense going into the year. 

Cheers and have a great weekend,

Lisi

SHOWS OUR CHARACTERS WOULD LISTEN TO 5. BAILEY KING

@unwellpodcast bailey loves all things found family and the found family in unwell is made to hurt your soul @iriscasefiles found family and space is even more of a bonus @hinaypod though bailey's not into horror, supernatural or anything that could feed too much into his daydreams , he pushes through for hi nay and tries to focus on the sweetness of the characters and their relationships and it only freaks him out

[mxbadluckpod]

SHOWS OUR CHARACTERS WOULD LISTEN TO 7. VIOLET LUCIAN

@intothehollow-official queer found family in space - being an art student, vio loves any show that gives her creative inspiration on his fashion designs, plus space steampunk is just cool @224bbaker mysteries are the best thing for the mind when working. she's totally drawn james fanart @brimstonevalleymall demons and angels make the best design inspiration, even better when theyre queer

SHOWS OUR CHARACTERS WOULD LISTEN TO 6. EDEN LI

@doyoucopypod despite working into the night - eden chooses chaos and listens to only horror - she listens to do you copy and pretends she's involved in the story @wheretheleavesfallpurple eden likes to play this out loud and try to convince customers its coming from a real radio @spire-pod her shifts go faster when she listens to the time weirdness but it goes much slower if she tries to keep track of the plot too closely
