Daisy! :D

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."]

I think I get the appeal of crack ships now

One more doodle made while waiting for this stupid video to render.

......I've been really enjoying Fionna and Cake and can't wait for the next batch of episodes.

Something I found yesterday that made me smile.

as requested on my stream, a simple water tutorial!

Colin gets to go off...as a treat.

I was wondering why people simping over Simon made me feel uncomfortable. Typically I don't care. What people find attractive is none of my business so why would Simon being thirsted after bother me?

That's when I had a realization: Simon literally looks and acts like my real life Dad in cartoon form.

This has significantly enhanced my enjoyment of his character.

Rebloging this to remember to make an oc based off of this silly funky hat.

Unlike some people, I think you can listen to Protocol first since there haven't been any real spoilers, but I'd suggest listening to TMA eventually anyways. It's a very different listening experience, especially at the start. Much more slower paced.

[I have not heard Archives. No spoilers please. Everything from Archives I do know is vague random spoilers and nothing directly specific.]

I wanna mention here that I have no idea who these new names are for this week’s episode, and I’m excited about not knowing. I’m kinda glad Jon and Martin aren’t our main connecting point to the Magnus Institute cause I have some vague spoilers about that.

I think their deaths are very likely a coverup by The Magnus Institute, because they died 20 years ago at around the same time as the Institute burning down. (Likely The Institute stuck them in FR3-D1 with Jonah or whoever)

I definitely think that no matter what happens with Celia/Sam following the Institute, Alice cannot knowingly ignore the plot any longer considering the tape recorder is what made her and Gwen unite.

Brace yourself, [Error!]. These women are about to crush you and die tragically at your hand.
