#nikignik deserves better

The late (BST) Audiodrama Sunday

I have had a Woe.Begone hyperfocus for some time and I am only just now listening to other stuff!

Finally finished How it Ends after dipping in and out of it over several years - I was not expecting that ending! I guess the clue was in the name.

Caught up on the Hallowoods. I like this format of main story bookended by Jimmy Yamaguchi being unsettling and MAROLMAR CONTINUING TO FILL ME WITH THE WHITE HOT RAGE OF A THOUSAND SUNS. Nikignik darling you can do so much better. Although I realise your dating pool is limited… sorry babes.

Binged all of How I Died, which manages to neatly combine mystery, horror, ghosts and sci-fi with some engaging and sympathetic characters and cool twists.

Late to the Margaret's Garden party (don't tell my friends). Somehow it managed to be both beautiful and kind of.. wacky? Anyway I love Pasha.

Midst…wow, it really is everything people said it was. The story was fun, and touching, and amazing worldbuilding, but as with so many shows it was the music that made it for me. I cannot wax lyrical enough about the music. Just these amazing expansive synthwave soundscapes, like something out of Bladerunner.

Now, for some CROWDFUNDERS:

Do you like musicals? Do you like spooky stories that are kinda gay (of course you do this is tumblr)? Do you like pith-helmet sporting chap hop legend Professor Elemental? Well these three great tastes could be combined into a sort of weird spooky gay musical soup if you help Mark and David fund Earworm. Make David Ault sing more songs than me and Travis Vengroff put together by supporting the crowdfunder: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/330261639/earworm-a-ghostly-audio-drama-musical Do you like goblins? Do you like the Lads Meredith? Do you like the Lads Meredith playing goblins? Do you like specific local folklore cryptids that dwell in West Sussex bodies of water? Do you like hearing Amy Dickinson finally attaining her true form as a surprisingly tall vengeful and chaotic ghost? Do you want to see Ben Meredith toss his leonine locks like a L'Oreal Advert (Can confirm having seen it live, it's very flowy). OK that last one you can just watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SRWi7ZTKbE) but for everything else there's the G.O.B.L.I.N.S crowdfunder:

Howdy! I’m here to let you know that I ADORE your podcast. I’ve already binged through the entire thing in four weeks and am now working through Malevolent (though your suggestion and talk with the host).

Just so that you know, I’ve cried multiple times over the demonic found family and I’ll square up to Marolmar for hurting Nikignik (girl you deserve better) :)

(No need to reply, just sending my love.)

That’s 40 episodes per week, goodness gracious! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed!

Going to drop all my blorbos and which ones they need the most

-Alex Kralie (Marble Hornets); Healthcare plan

-Evan (EMH); Does an exorcism come with the healthcare plan. You could also give him a gun, kick back and watch the shitshow unfold

-Nikignik (HFTH); Hug + better boyfriend

-Marolmar (HFTH); I know he needs a good shaking and perhaps a slap across the face... BUT I think it would be much funnier to up his poison-Syrensyrs-resources budget. Just to see what he would do with a shit ton of money and resources

Daphnis (TIOS); Again; bigger budget bc it'd be funny to see what he does with it and some sleep

Madosuki (Yume Nikki); Hug + better parents

Annabelle Cane (TMA); Now I know she definitely needs a good shaking but at the same time I personally think she deserves a little kiss on the cheek bc she's cute and I love her very much

Cecil (WTNV); Hug

Kevin (WTNV); Healthcare plan and maybe a violent video game

Kris (Deltarune); Exorcism

Spamton (Deltarune); A shit ton of money

Homura (PMMM); Hug + girlfriend who is alive and not a concept

another cute thing nikignik said this episode!

"What could a human know of real love, of cosmic grief? No human has experienced a tragedy that lasted more than a moment, no suffering that did not fade into eternity unremembered and unmourned. Jonah has no idea what he is looking at, the collision of powers that birthed this place, the sanctity of the grave on which he stands.

"It was the least I could do.

"Does a lord of life and death deserve to rest on a world of mud, like an animal? Does he deserve to be destroyed for doing what he was born to do?

"There was nothing in the universe like him, nothing in an infinity of existence, and now he is gone, and there will never be another.

"I mourn him in the starless night, I mourn the void in all that is that he left behind. How overjoyed I was to find that his work survived, that a semblance of his creativity and his joy and his darkness lived on. How in love I am with his black forests, his strange pines, his phosphorescent nights. How enraptured I am with his Hallowoods, and although I am broken, I will scream his memory to every distant corner of this cosmos. He would have liked nothing better than to be the subject of your nightmares, dreamers. That was just how he was, and I am not afraid to say I loved him for it."

cute things nikignik has said so far this episode: "You put on a victorious black lipstick to match your abyssal eyes. This shade is called Hello From The Hallowoods."
