I spent the day with the Mothman
I had planned to do a Point Pleasant run but then it was raining. It's going to rain for days. Sigh. The rain didn't bother me as far as the trip but I wanted to take all the Halloween village boxes and the huge can store a body in it plastic tote back to my office. I wasn't taking the former out in the rain but I did haul the latter.
Spent the morning cranking out the words at Coffee Grinders. It's not the best coffee shop but it tries. Honestly that could be Point Pleasant's theme song. It's actually a rather depressed and depressing place but in the last five year or so it's been working hard on revitalizing itself. Many of the empty store fronts are filled but at the same time the historic Lowe hotel failed this year. A lot of this is Mothman money. Let's make no mistake of it. Our interest in cryptids is keeping this town afloat and others are taking notice of it (I see you Loveland, OH). More power to them.
I didn't find anything cool at the Mason Jar which is an antique/thrift/craft store sort of thing other than one rather ugly paperweight that had a circle chipped out of it (an obvious impact fracture) that was Fenton glass with Fenton pricing. Nope but hand me that no-sugar apple butter. Thanks. That's a Christmas gift.
I went to the Mothman trading company but most of it was cryptid/UFO t-shirts (fun stuff) but not what I was looking for. I did find Mothman playing cards for my brother's stocking stuffer.
Fannish 50 - Here's a follow up from another one. The Hazbin Hotel hacker was caught but what kills me in this story are the fans who purchased the stolen episodes WHINING that they didn't get much or anything for their money. Dude, that's karma
I've been saying this for a while now. I do not need a new fandom, not a third one in one year but there's Betty and suzume_seta are just there enabling me. Also what's not to love about a Prohibition era St Louis setting story about anthropomorphic cats running bathtub gin?
And I wanted to share some more fan made songs because you know how much I love that. While I miss a lot of things from the more old school internet fandom, one thing I love about the new fandom: animatics and fan made music. It's keeping me fed.
Someone riffing off Stayed Gone but made it for Lute and Lilith (and I'd love to see something like this canonically)
Paranoid DJ is a multi-fandom joy. He's even got one for Lackadaisy already
This one with Husk isn't the strongest vocally but it captures early Husk's character
And here's one of his pre Blitzo/Fizzarolli make up and someone did an animatic to it because it needed it
And someone mashed up two Hazbin fan songs and it's amazing
And a late amv of all the Hazbin/Helluvaboss Halloween fan art
