I love this line like These are my boyz, that's my boy Yorick, a talkative sentient nightmare skull, and that's Jonny boy, the King in Yellow, Hastur, he who is not to be named, Lord of Carcosa.

"immortality sucks because all your friends die" all your friends die anyway. those we do not mourn are those who mourn us.

"immortality sucks because you forget who you are" we always forget who we are. do you remember who you were at four years of age? who you were at fourteen? "who i am" is a shadow cast on the wall.

"immortality sucks because" skill issue. skill issue. skill issue. give me your liver

I’ve seen so many people break down the way that the silt verses talked about kindness and the theme of it throughout the show but upon finishing the finale, after chewing through it for an entire week, I’ve realized that nobody has talked much about the part that spoke the most to me.

They all got to watch each other walk away.

Faulkner saw Carpenter walk towards a better future, Carpenter watched his body in turn, free of the role of prophet, to wherever he wanted to go. Hayward verbalized this as he saw Paige walk away, and Paige will meet her destiny watching the backs of her people grow more and more distant.

They were horrible people in a horrible system and they all contributed to it in some way, but they were kind. And the kindness did not save them, but it let them watch the people they loved walk away towards something better, even as that same action brings them closer to the thing that will kill them.

The Silt Verses is about those people who got lost, who got eaten. Even as they die without being dead, turned into tools of the system. Even as we lose people every single day. Even as our old activists become complacent or lose hope or as another advocate for human rights is killed. Every single day we get to see others walk away, despite knowing that they’re walking towards their death the same way we all are, it is always such a privilege, because along the way they are kind, and if the kindness lasts long enough. If it exists long enough to find a place where the thing that would eat them has starved. All that is left is us. And the kindness. And maybe one day we won’t have to walk anymore.

Just listened to The Silt Verses 2nd season Q&A. Found out that Faulkner is trans. That means that he is the one who named himself Richard

I Lied to you. We aren’t having sex, put your clothes back on. It’s time for me to explain to you the entire plot the Magnus archives and tell you which fear entity you would serve.

horror and tragedy should be unsatisfying and cruel thats life thats suffering life doesnt always have a happy ending thats the truth the systems that oppress human kindness are vast and omnipresent and almost impossible to escape Im glad that they stuck true to the tenor the tone of this story and gave us such a dark ending fuck them its for the best I hate you Its very mature I respect you honestly fuck off

Still thinking about The Silt Verses (as you do). It's the podcast of all time. It's completely unique, there's nothing else like it. It's the best piece of media I ever came across. Its Horror but the horror was not the important thing. It's about people perpetrating the horror, unable to break free from the system. It's about people turning their back on the system, breaking the cycle and still dying. There was love and kindness and it didn't save them but it mattered. There's so much queer representation in the most beautiful way. It will hit you in the feelings with a sledgehammer in the purest form of carthasis. The Chekovs gun is a crab nuke. There's a bitter old aroace woman who's allowed to be bitter and old and aroace. There's a guy called Chuck Harm. Joe Biden sex coma. It's about late-stage capitalism. It's about family and community and belonging. It's about gifts offered freely. I could write so many essays on how none of it mattered and everything mattered. It's completely rotted my brain, if you couldn't tell by now. The audio quality is fantastic, the voice acting made me cry so often. It's the podcast of all time.

I keep thinking about Carpenter's final moments of the podcast and I cannot stop thinking how, despite everything, she was still choosing to move forward and live on. Her brother is dead. She just had to say goodbye to him for the final time. Her friends are fled from her, with no certainty if she will ever catch up to them (and it will haunt me, that she will never know that Hayward died. That he got the ending he wanted even if it might not have been the reunion Carpenter had hoped for them. And if she does suspect what ultimately happen to him, it will haunt me that she chooses to believe they both made it out despite the odds). She's all alone.

And she could find a nice spot and wait for her ending. Lie down and let the long grass take her. But she chooses to get back up. To dream of some sort of future, with cats perhaps, where she lives on. Gets a haircut. Raises a toast to her friends. She will choke on her Nana's song, "There'll be no more need for hurt, word or deed. For sorrow," she will choke on the words and forget the lines and brokenly laugh at the absurdity of it all in the midst of all that grief as she chooses to trudge on, aching and in pain.

"I'll see you back around here another time soon." she says.

These were The Silt Verses.

The second part of our show finale is now live - really hope you enjoy the listen.

A huge thank you as ever to our fantastic cast, and thank you to every single one of you. You've been a truly incredible audience and we're so grateful for every moment.

i'm just so, so grateful that the silt verses finale said this isn't a story where people get what they deserve. this isn't a story about showing mercy. the answer is not, and has never been, making self-righteous value judgements that you can justify to yourself in the telling later on. the greatest thing we can do in this world is to be kind to one another. to give without expecting anything in return. that's all that ever was, and ever will be, what we owe to each other. that's all.

Don't talk to me I just finished The Silt Verses

Happy Pride Month to everyone who gets this joke, laughed at it, or isn’t a homophobic or transphobic etc asshole.

Happy Pride Everyone.

Stay Gay.

I'd rather hangout with the straight boyfriend than the queer cop who insists they're one of the "good ones" while harassing people of color

I'd rather hangout with the straight palestinian grandma than the queer zionist who keeps insisting that the death of palestinians is the one way ticket to queer liberation

I'd rather hangout with the leather dyke who is a mspec gaybian and uses paw/pawself pronouns than the puritan who makes "callout posts" clearly targeting disabled queer artists

diet culture people make me feel like i’m going crazy. you want me to take an experimental pill that destroys my appetite?? you want me to remove part of my stomach??? you want me to stop eating bread and rice, two of the staple foods most inherent to humanity????? why exactly? because my stomach is big? because you don’t like the way i look, and you think it’s reasonable to tell me to carve pieces off of myself and try random drugs and ruin my own life so i can look more visually pleasing to you? and you somehow don’t see how absurdly cruel and selfish that is to ask of somebody???? while pretending you care about their HEALTH????????????????? FUCK YOU!!!!

This is insane

In purgatory (caught up to all my fiction podcasts)

spn season 1 is so funny. they made the main plot line finding sam and dean’s missing father. but like. the guys not missing. he’s just avoiding them.

Those brothers Supernatural will be like we know each other better than anybody and we are inextricably bound by the private trauma of our shared childhood that nobody else could ever understand and we have both sworn sacred oaths to each other. and not even realize that they are thinking of different childhoods. and have sworn different oaths. and there is so much that they have misunderstood about each other and that they can never go back to the way they were before because WE WERE NEVER THAT WAY BEFORE.

See also, "We're in a drought; conserve water!" Meanwhile, bottled water companies and golf courses for rich folk empty the aquifers.

That fuckin picture of that guy at agraveyard holdin like, a cup or smt, with a mothman sized moth with him, both staring directly at the camera is somehow the funniest image but I haven’t been able to find it in months

Both were filled at the same time with the same water, only one had oysters.
