#unwell podcast spoilers

[unbroken-teacup]

i should have posted this theory like yesterday but it completely just got confirmed

*SPOILERS*

i’ve been thinking for episodes that wes was a ghost and they basically just confirmed it omg

I promised I would share my Silas/Blooms playlist from back in 2021 if I ended up being validated, and frankly, being separated parts of the same entity is even better for me. Makes some of the songs fit more cleanly, even. So here you go.

Looks like Spotify removed the first track since I last looked at it, though... Here's a bandcamp link.

(If you aren't familiar with the show and want to listen with the concept in mind: ancient entity who embodies an entire town and takes care of the people there / menacing ghost of a dead preacher who has been banished from its borders but still looks upon it with reverence. Also they technically used to be one thing that was many things, but now they are two things that are many things. It's complicated.)

I still believe if Rudy shacked up with Chester and Lou Lou and became Jamie’s new uncle he’d be alive

No way they made "your better half" from s1 scribbled out of Nureyev's note fit into the Theme GOD. I'm not your better half anymore cause unfortunately I have to be my own person even as I love you beyond belief. And I'm scared to do it but I have to start one tiny step at a time to turn our fantasy of a life together that I fell into when I first met you into one that can work and can be real. I'm unwell.

Lark grew to love Midst, and grew to accept the Fold. In turn, the Fold accepted her in eternity, forever a part of Midst.

Im so not well

[ghost-bard]

Main d20 fandom that hates on kipperlilly for being mentally unwell, for being angry and confiding in a trusted adult about said anger and then dying and coming back serving a distorted goddess of conquest and rage im so happy for you not ever having a genuinely fucked up thought because being an angry person and having thoughts of wanting to physically harm someone because of something truly childish is not a hell i would wish upon anyone but lord have mercy should any of you meet someone irl like that i hope you treat them with respect knowing that feeling insurmountable anger and not being able to truly understand why you are that way is not something that anyone who feels that way wants.

And i personally hope i never meet any of you and i think some of you should analyze how you talk about fictional characters with very real mental illnesses because YES it’s fucked up that she was jealous of riz for having this tragic backstory, but have any of you considered the fact that she was working through it with jawbone and then she fucking died and is in service to a corrupted god of conquest and rage and lost her closest friend and now has so much anger in her that she is now forced to put somewhere

Anyway apologies for the rant/wall of text i just find kipperlilly and the rat grinders as a whole very interesting and knowing how others perceive primarily kipperlilly deeply annoys me, especially now that im completely caught up with fhjy, and if some of (or most of i know how i sound most of the time) this reads as condescending or similar it’s because i was a bit upset when i started writing it lmao i have since calmed down

Can't believe I accidentally abandoned Unwell podcast for nearly two years for no reason. I'm finally catching up with it and I'm feeling some kind of way about ghosts that don't know they are ghosts, and ghosts that aren't exactly ghosts at all, and ghosts that are previous versions of you, and towns that are alive and complicated, and houses that shift and change and become unfamiliar in the same way a person's own mind can, and family, and tradition, and history, and memory, and community, and grief...

[fismoll7secinv]

In the intro to night vale it's said that you can listen in no specific order and just the chosen episodes but honestly? I'm enjoying the ride from the beginning so much?? Catching all the little references to the past, gradually getting to know more characters and their stories, and consistently falling in love with everything. Idk if I'd enjoy listening as much if i skipped or didn't go chronologically, i love this podcast so much, please give it a try it's so worth it

Still catching up on fhjy but I’ve been thinking So Much about everything going on with Cassandra but I Can Make Anything About Astronomy and that’s about to be everyone else’s problem SO!!!

Thinking about the red rage stars that came from Cassandra. Thinking about the giant gods from the mountains of chaos and the god whose name has been erased. Thinking about the potential of a star god leeching power from Galicaea and Sol. Thinking about red giant stars.

A red giant is a dying star. When a star doesn’t have enough hydrogen for nuclear fusion, gravity acts on it harder and the compression makes it hotter, so it expands greatly and glows bright red, but since this heat is spread out over a greater surface area the surface becomes relatively cool. When the red giant’s core collapses in on itself, it becomes a white dwarf and ejects material into a nebula. This is the most violent stage of a star’s life.

It’s possible this giant god (Cassandra’s spouse) whose name has been erased was an old star or sun god, losing followers when sol came to prominence and being presumed dead, when it instead entered a red giant phase. They no longer have followers of their own to draw power from, so they leech off of the sun and moon for what little power they can get in their nameless state. Their influence is spread thin (like the demon that Lydia and her party fought) but they are fueled by this rage.

This dead god being a sun/star god for the giants would also explain the texts found being written in Giant, and would also explain the ties to Lucy Frostblade and her goddess, bc I’m sure there’s some sort of connection there

Also on a kind of meta level I know there’s a third party dnd compendium with a fallen star warlock patron that is p cool (i doubt they’re using that handbook specifically but there is a precedent for this thing)

On another meta level I think that the red giant pun is too good to pass up idk it’s fun to me

Anyway this might be nothing but it’s been on The Dome <333

Suddenly remembered that in my original brainstorming documents, The Old Man on the Edge of Town/[REDACTED] was the only employee at the 7-11 just outside of town.

Love Unwell's "mother as human being" vibes. Love complicated and messy but ultimately deeply loving and supportive relationships between two people who are so much like one another that it both helps and harms their relationship. Love Dot Harper more than words and love where she and Lily end up. Gonna cry about it for tem millions year actually.
