“And Walt is still standing there with a fiddle bow through his eye socket. And the sword falls from his limp hand, and he crumples to his knees, and then to his back. And Solomon rises. He plants his boot on Walt’s face and wrenches the bow free with a vicious twist.

But this is not what Walt sees.”

guess who listened to hello from the hallowoods episode thirty-six!!! guess who stared blankly at the ceiling for like twenty minutes afterwards!!!

oscar: this is my boyfriend arthur, and this is his boyfriend john, and this is john’s boyfriend noel.

day 5 of @podcastgirlsweek: god forbid women do anything. celebrate a female villain. defend your #problematic fave.

i am here in defense of abigail reed >:]

you guys have to here me out on this one cause i’m not 100% sure she’s classified a villain, but she is absolutely a #problematic fave okay

abigail reed is the deceased wife of solomon reed (aka the worst person ever). she took her own life, and was subsequently trapped in a fife by said terrible husband. while trapped in said fife, she was constantly screaming, which is really girlboss of her.

she did sew her son’s mouth shut and leave him to starve to death but WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES

(i’m joking, this was obviously wrong)

but!! she was clearly not well, and shouldn’t have been left alone with percy. solomon is not as responsible, but i still want to blame him for it. so i will.

also, her story (ep 40 graves - stuck on the needle) is written SO WELL

“Judgement day was past, and she had missed the rapture, and the rain burned her eyes and her soul. It was something else—invasive, a virus or a parasite, altering her. She could feel it churning within her bone marrow. She couldn’t let it, couldn’t be changed…”

BARS

“Abigail nodded, and descended quietly, brushing a hand through her son’s hair. It was funny, she thought, how much he looked like that preacher’s boy. She wrapped her arms around him, and he cried quietly, and she was not repulsed. The tears that fell from her eyes surprised her, burning like stars themselves.”

BARS!!!!

kind of the only reason she wanted solomon was because he was quiet and wasn’t annoying. and calls him a ‘funny little thing.’ which is SO REAL.

despite her upbringing and everything else, she learns to accept percy for who he is. her son, not her daughter.

she also saved riot, and didn’t kill that family.

i just really think she’s cool okay

turning up my queer horror podcast to drown out the sound of my grandfather watching fox news in the living room

it’s @podcastgirlsweek day 4: nobody understands her like I do… recognize a woman from a podcast you think is niche and/or underappreciated.

i am here with an extremely niche character to yap about :]

presenting……dolly navarro!!

never heard of her? that’s understandable. she’s a 14-year-old camper from camp here & there :>

dolly has no voice actor and is literally mentioned like three times. but i love her.

is it mainly because we have the same name and there are very few characters with the name dolly in the media i consume? maybe.

but i still think she’s super really cool.

she was the leader in the uprising against and subsequent mock execution of counselor juniper (who prolly deserved it), subsequently lost fingers, and is pretty good at astral projection.

her cabin, cabin dung beetle also has lead a full-out revolution against lucille (who also deserved it), have tried to blackmail juniper into stepping down, did really good in the water gun battle, won the tower-building contest, burned down their own cabin and declared that they were going to build their own camp across the lake.

conclusion: dolly navarro is really super cool :3
