Me and the badbitch I pulled by being absolutely insane
Been binging this podcast for two weeks and I’m absolutely sick about it.
ALSO, Lord Arum is everything. Sir Marc is the best knight. Start with the first episode, ‘the head of the Janus beast’ you’ll LOVE IIT
so im going to list some propaganda for why you should listen to it along with Juno
Less time between episodes you can listen to
theres 2 weeks in between every episode anyways, you might as well fill the podcast less void with SC
We have…
Himbo knight
poet always in the midst of a mental breakdown
Sir Caroline
lizard man (autistic)
science lady (autistic)
small shape shifting child must protec
witch wife
worlds most anxiety ridden aroace
horse guy, victim of micro aggressions
sword Druid with 0 self preservation skills
also a genuinely good and inspired fantasy setting (with some sprinkles of sci-fi starting in season 5)
I love this sm
Happy spooky season! Have some Wandering Night Gaunt concept art from before making the podcast!
¾ eye characters down, one to go…Also i like to think Cecil is immune to the fears so Jon can’t “know” anything about him and is just constantly confused.
I've been wracking my brain trying to find out who exactly Detective Noel might be and I think I have a vague hand wavy idea.
I know people want it to be Parker, Kayne, or even the KIY but I think Arthur would have recognized Parker's voice even if John struggled to recognize him, Kayne was pointed out to have never known about the lighter, and the King seems like a long shot, but not altogether impossible. However!
Way back in season 1 we learned that the book that had once held John was actually addressed to Roland Cummings, a retired private investigator who owned 13 Mosby Avenue (Arthur and Parker's office) and as of now is MIA after the police found the body of his wife in the freezer and the neighbors suspected he fled to Canada (Part Two: The Missing Girl). He's also the father of Amanda Cummings, one of the missing girls who was later killed by the King (because of Arthur, whoops). Now, his office was leased out to Elijah Strong and his partner, Teddy Caine before being taken over by Arthur and Parker. Elijah had committed suicide in prison and we later find out that the Butcher was the one who actually killed him. As of right now we have no definitive answer as to what became of Teddy Caine.
Arthur's engraved lighter came from the desk of their office.
My reach is that Detective Noel is either Roland Cummings or (less so) Teddy Cain. I'm leaning more towards Cummings simply because he had seemed the most knowledgeable about The Horrors™️ and was in fact sort of the catalyst to the entire series being the original receiver for John's book. And it's also possible he and Arthur never really met. It would also make sense as to why he's working under a different name because he would still be under suspicion after what happened with his family near Arkham. Teddy Caine I'm less sure about because all we know is that he worked at the office for a time and had a run-in with the Butcher.
Detective Noel could also literally be none of these people or someone else entirely and I'm just thinking too hard. But ooh the possibilities! They make me [stick figure gore]
And as it’s pride month, Ace Polly Rights! 🖤🤍💜
I’m a total shipper and this is really important ⬆️ love this podcast, I interpret it as super gay but that’s just part of how I enjoy it. Lots of people interpret the characters as aro/ace and enjoy it that way.
Making a post bc I am still every other week or so seeing posts from new fans talking about how John/Arthur better be canon bc they’ll be mad otherwise or asking if it is or SAYING it is and I need other people to spread this around and actually listen to me.
Harlan has said they won’t end up romantically together. No look at me. Canonically they won’t. He loves the fics and stuff and finds it enjoyable, but they aren’t going to be canon.
That means that you have GOT to stop trying to get new fans in by saying how gay it is. That might work in 2010 when bury your gays was the most you could ask for but there’s actual rep now, if you tell someone something is gay they’re going to be expecting to SEE it at some point.
You are putting Harlan, who makes the entire show by himself and does not have anything vetted, does not have a pr team, and is active in the fandom, in danger. People are already calling it queerbait and gaslighting. You are disappointing and pissing off people who want to see venom/Eddie and aren’t going to get it.
Saying you love someone and showing them life experiences they haven’t had isn’t inherently romantic, especially if one of you is new to the being human thing, it’s the 1930s so the entire masculinity romance landscape is entirely different, and you share a body and couldn’t leave if you wanted. It’s not homophobic to manage expectations.
Queerbaiting is when a show is promised to be queer to bring in the queer audience and then they don’t. He’s specifically said it isn’t. YOU are queerbaiting people. I can not continue to every other week see an excited fresh faced person say they got into the show bc they heard it’s a queer podcast or has gay rep when it’s blatantly untrue. I can’t see more see it’s canon friends would never do this together. It’s fun to play with and I love it, it’s a fun ship, but you have to stop telling people it’s real and the only option.
if it weren't so clearly gearing up towards a desperate tragedy this entire exchange of arthur going "lying bad" and john going "what if lying good" and then getting incredibly fake offended when arthur asks if he has, perchance, been lying would be comedy gold
Awwwh I love this Bella design!
First few sketches from Part 33! Very fun episode.
We still don’t have a full picture of Bella but given what we know I like to imagine that she was a young woman who was on the cutting edge of fashion and made some of her own pieces, hence why her ensembles pictured above are a touch more modern than what was commonly seen in the early to mid 20s.
Bonus for Arthur getting called out
I realised I hadn’t done any lineup for Hallowoods and made it my personal project to correct this ASAP!! And yes, I know some aren’t completely canon-compliant, but sometimes you just get a STRONG first vision when you listen and I’m the type of person who follows my heart! I know Lady Ethel in her more… human…appearance probably wasn’t like…. 3m tall BUT IN SPIRIT!? + a possible post black rain version
