"The Amazing Devil's fourth album will be out soon."

A screenshot from the linked interview. The text is: "And finally, with 'It’s Not a Cult', 'The Witcher' Season 4, and The Amazing Devil all in play, what’s coming up next for you beyond these projects? I’m not quite sure. The Amazing Devil’s fourth album will be out soon and I’ve got two books I’m working on right now. To be honest, it’s been a busy few years. I’d like to travel, live a little bit of life. Without that, there won’t be many stories left to tell."

A nonbinary Frankenstein's monster, a transmasc ghost, a genderfluid storm witch, a trans woman who can visit other people's dreams, multiple character's using neopronouns... And this intro makes me cry every time. HFTH is so so so good and I wish more people would listen to it 🖤 (2/2)
A screenshot of the transcript for episode 8 of Hello From The Hallowoods. White text on a dark blue background: "Intro - Deadname. You are given a name, and then you are born. It is among the first words you understand, and when others think of you, it is the first word on their tongues. One day, you realize it does not fit you, it never has, and you change it, but your old name haunts you like a ghost. Your family refuses to use your new name. Later you are lowered into the ground, and your old name is said over and over until it consumes you, and even when it is no longer said, it is written above your resting place. The grave with the wrong name does not welcome you, so you search for a place that will. When you finally reach it, whispers in the wind say your name, and that they love you, and Hello from the Hallowoods."

Today is a great day to watch and support Dead End: Paranormal Park! It's an animated show about two teens and a talking pug who team up to battle demons at a haunted theme park. I love the trans and queer rep, and the musical episode is sooo good!

Congrats on 200 episodes of this beautiful, bittersweet, hopeful, heartbreaking, scary, comforting, unapologetically queer horror podcast 🖤 #HelloFromTheHallowoods

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."

If you want to read a published book that feels like Gentlebeard fanfic but isn't a blatant OFMD rip-off (because it was published before OFMD came out), please read "Silver in the Wood" by Emily Tesh! It's so good!

My favorite podcast in my new favorite book 🖤🌲
A picture of a book page with the following text: "[...] many recommendations, maybe you just need to up your game. not my fault if you have 'a life' or whatever. @unfathomabledepths: Bold assumption, but I do at least need to sleep, occasionally eat, etc. @nightmarketpod: that's coward's talk. think how many episodes of hello from the hallowoods you could power through for the low price of sleep-deprivation-induced hallucinations. @unfathomabledepths: Ah yes, horror podcasts and hallucinations, that seems like a stellar idea that couldn't possibly hurt me It's been going on like this all morning. Nobody seems to notice that I'm texting under the table, or if they do, they don't seem to care. Except Aiden, maybe. Every now and then, when I'm laughing at a message from Daniel, or taking a moment to [...]"

And as an audio drama fan, I was super excited to see this comment:
A comment by @CloudHopperCat "I'd like to shout out audio drama (fictional podcasts) as a medium for having most of the examples of transmasc characters I could think of at the start of the video. Once taking main characters into account, The Silt Verses has a transmasc main character, and I didn't get very far into Hello From The Hallowoods but I get the impression that the transmasc character in their ensemble cast is one of many important characters (I believe Camp Here & There also has a transmasc MC, but I haven't listened to that one so it doesn't really count for my list). More people should give audio drama a chance; it's a very indie and queer space and all but the most popular shows are extremely underrated."
