Hi! Ao3 readers? Is there a way to sort by multiple tags at a time? I used to love reading crossover fanfiction on fanfiction.net, but I had to mostly stop when I switched over because it became much harder to search for on ao3.
billford to me is like. i enjoy this the same way people enjoy psychological horror. they are a trainwreck and how did things get this fucking bad . and the characters that are involved are just such compelling characters that the disastrous apocalyptic divorce just. it works
Collage I made based off of the song Hungry by Monstrosity ft Gumi.
This art piece came about because I loved the song and had no idea how to make fan art for it.
In my interpretion it's about pretending everything is fine while the world crumbles around you. You know the world is messed up but you can't really do anything about it so you just put on a brave face.
Really dark song for such a poppy upbeat sound.
Oh boy do I love the extensional horror of having no control over my life!

Ethics Town is a kafkaesque nightmare of a podcast. I love it.
Binged the whole first season in one sitting.
I called one of the twists around episode 4, which honestly made the slowly growing dread of the situation that much worse.
The vibe of the whole podcast is less pure terror and more....concern. Like I know something is wrong here but I can't pin point what exactly.
The ending of season one was a gut punch, even if it confused me a little.
From poking around on Tumblr, it looks like season 2 might be starting soon? I'm seriously looking forward to that. I have a lot of questions.
I also finished The Magnus Archives and what has been released of The Magnus Protocol so far. Tmagp apparently is also going off of hiatus today, which was not something I knew before I started writing this post.
I've never thought of myself as a podcast person, but I might be after this month.
Thanks for this art. It made scrolling through the current events on Tumblr a little less depressing.
Unity decided to be a big doodoo and I decided to try drawing even with my hand issues for this occasion :'^]
i'm not seeing any posts about it here yet, but they solved the silas birchtree riddle on reddit and there's some pretty juicy lore! first, entering "paranoid" backwards nets this conspiracy board:
then, from the black letters in the corners of some of the pages people pieced together the code "connect the dots", backwards again, gets a whopping 12 page chapter about the ciphertology cult! it's...something.
so in summary, bill puppeted a guy's corpse, became a cult leader, seemingly married over a hundred people, mass-possessed his followers, tried to get them to build his portal. his lone dissenter was a spinster who made anti-bill chick tracts and started a fire. a waco-style shootout ensued, killing silas' already-rotting corpse a second time in a disturbingly detailed manner. at some point he made some of his followers drink the kool-aid too.
entering the lady's name, emmaline butternubbins, into the computer finally gets you the reward for solving all the riddles: hd wallpapers of various graphics from the book of bill. but frankly this is more interesting and fucked up to me.

"Have you ever heard of Orchard Lake, Kansas? Chances are you haven't. It was erased from every map, book, and historical record, and the US Government's official position on it is "stop calling us or we'll send a drone to your house." (I learned this the hard way.) But if you drive to the exact latitude and longitude of you'll see bullet casings, faded billboards, and bow ties strewn across the desert sands.
That's because Orchard Lake had another name before it was wiped off the record: BillVille.

As a historian of esoteric religions, I thought I'd discovered the strangest sects America had yct to offer (see "Chapter 3: Kevin's Gate") but that all changed when I found the following items tucked away in an old trunk in an estate sale on the out- skirts of Bootstrap, Missouri."]
