thank you, thank you, thank you to veronica and mark and all of the other AMAZING staff that helped make my favorite podcast a reality for ten (?!) years. there may be other podcasts and other hotels, but nothing will ever be The Hotel like this.

making me scream, cry, laugh, and more than anything made me think about hotels maybe more than i ever thought i could. she kept my ever-constant thirst for good stories constantly satiated. she always kept me on my toes. i can't say enough good things about the hotel. [con't]

i got SO EMOTIONAL listening to this. i can't believe my favorite podcast ended this year.
the hotel found me when i was still attending college, driving an hour and a half (one way) home every weekend. she (the hotel herself) accompanied me for many of those trips, [con't.]

Oh okay. I guess I'm posting the last piece of regular Hotel art. Last of the official Izzy art. That's all folks.

There's still more Hotel stuff coming in 2025 to Patreon and Youtube and stuff but...

No getting around the rot. Whether we hear it or not, the countdown ends.

All 6 of the Hotel staff stand on a vanishing lobby floor in a void. Green ghoulish hands reach up for them from below and applaud them from above.

every single izzy piece is soso good

The Hotel Podcast @thehotelpodcast.bsky.social · Mar 3

offical @filthyguts.bsky.social art for 6.5 Michael Booker - Room 4! Izzy plays with the very structure of the design itself for the Purple Door Trilogy as things start to unravel on the show.

ep 6.6 Buddy Boyle - Room 3 is out now

and 6.7 Owen J.F. Smith VI- Room 2 is available on Patreon!

A series of open purple doors host the Manager, an identical woman standing in a bucket, and the Bellhop looking at each other. They are green on a green background. A golden beetle crawls across frame. The words 6.5 MICHAEL BOOKER - ROOM 4 float inside the doors behind the women.

Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

pausing from reading fiction books to read some ttrpg books, but when i return to reading i'm on "yumi and the nightmare painter" by brandon sanders

(also apparently it's part 2 in a series- i didn't know until i got to the notes at the end, but i don't feel like i missed anything having started with the second book.

saturn 🪐 @saturnsehyoon.bsky.social · Jan 30

BOOK NUMBER THREE was "tatami time machine blues" by tomihiko morimi, translated by emily balistrieri. dear readers (if you're out there), if you know how time machine stories usually go, you will not find anything new in this book. not the worst read ever but a very predictable read.

BOOK NUMBER TWO i satiated my curiosity about stephen king's "carrie". i really liked the way the prom scenes were done but i will probably not choose to read it again (personal preference) lol

IZZZZYYYYYYYYYY GOD THIS ART IS INCREDIBLE

The Hotel Podcast @thehotelpodcast.bsky.social · Jan 21

Izzy art for 6.4 has landed and you're never gonna believe this but it's absolutely incredible!

(join the Patreon to get the postcard mailed to you!)

the Auditor from the Hotel podcast covered in her own blood being pinned to a board like a bug by the giant cosmic hands of the Hotel herself. The episode title 'I Am Not Insignificant' glows at the bottom of the frame flanked by a 6 and a 4

saturn 🪐 @saturnsehyoon.bsky.social · Jan 21

also what am i supposed to do after four more episodes 😭

saturn 🪐 @saturnsehyoon.bsky.social · Jan 21

"what's the difference between her blood and mine" oh...

saturn 🪐 @saturnsehyoon.bsky.social · Jan 21

probably one of my favorite auditor episodes so far! also MORE TRAIN! and who doesn't love the hotel herself? i most definitely needed this episode today.

The Hotel Podcast @thehotelpodcast.bsky.social · Jan 17

SEASON 6 CONTINUES!

I would say this is a turning point but we only have 4 episodes left so it's turning points all the way down I'm afraid.

The Auditor and the Hotel herself finally talk, but are they listening to each other?
