200 episodes of queer hope 🖤 #HelloFromTheHallowoods

A screenshot of a Tumblr post by @words-and-threads. The text is:

"One of the greatest gifts Hello from the Hallowoods keeps giving (among many) is the bounty of long, complicated, fulfilling queer lives and relationships. Old gay men living eternally in a pocket universe, the lesbians who built a family in the woods that grew into a city, the polyamorous bisexual disaster and his wife the embodiment of executive function and his husband redneck Benoit Blanc and their daughter. The werewolf and her girlfriend the vampire and her platonic life partner the demon and the dead guy they adopted. The invisible man and his lizard husband. The widowed therapist and his new boyfriend the coroner who isn't possessed by a murderous mushroom spirit anymore. The T4T ghost couple. The traumatized butcher and her potential girlfriend who is also partly her old girlfriend who died. The aging punk turned mayor and her complicated relationship with the zombie built from her best friends and her partner. Actually she's the mom (adopted and bio respectively) of the butcher's girlfriend and the other girl said girlfriend was a clone of who have been revived into one person so I guess complicated post-resurrection relationships run in the family.

There are so many reminders in this podcast that you can suffer and struggle and grow and live on and find joy and love. It won't always be easy. You'll lose people. Loved ones will disappoint you. The world may end. But as long as there are people there will be aging queers sitting on the porch together. Even if that porch is on an infinite plane of black stone lit by a blazing green sky."

It was once again "looking at some good trees while listening to Hearthbound"- day 🌳

I listened to an episode of Wolf 359, Hearthbound, and Hello from the Hallowoods today while doing chores and being out on my walk, and I'm now settling in to stream the Wooden Overcoats liveshow. So many fantastic audio dramas today 💜

I really wanted to draw something inspired by the finale of The Holmwood Foundation, so here’s Jeremy and Maddie with their terrible coffees before chaos erupts in the finale.

I'm reading Listen Closely by @leonegan.bsky.social and I'm already emotional before the first chapter started. This Wooden Overcoats quote always gets me 🥺

Not too scary I think. I'm usually not that good with visual horror but I was fine watching on my own 😂

Ohh you should! It's really worth it to see in the cinema, especially with the music

Finally got a bunch of cute things by @birdietam.art at Dokomi yesterday after admiring it online for ages 💞

A mug painted like the head of a guinea pig with little knobs for ears, a pair of dark grey socks with black cats on them, and a pair of blue and orange socks with stars, planets and guinea pigs on them
