many years ago I learned about the women in horror month (WiHM). it is a grassroots project where the contributors spend a month talking about women in the horror genre: characters, authors, and other participants in horror proceedings. the WiHM is usually february, but the rule is not strictly enforced.

horror is one of the most popular genres in fiction podcasts/audio drama, which I am very much into, sooo... I made a ✨ bingo ✨. this october, I will try to follow it, highlighting co-authors of cool horror projects, overviewing podcast micro-genres for every taste, different characters etc. etc.

I will mostly be posting in russian on my telegram channel, but I might be sharing the translated posts here as well. I cannot promise to post every day, but I have a lot to say on the topic.

and of course I would be over the moon if any of you use the bingo template. you can post every day, or only choose topics of interest to you; follow the template oder or not; and write about any other type of media, not just podcasts.

happy creepy audio drama october!

он называет его виля, don’t @ me

Mikhail calls Will "Will" or "William" constantly but calls Mike "american" and never acknowledge his name because why would he, he knows "zee amerrican don't like me"

dear billy byler tag, thank you for making my morning by going mad about willhail

so apparently there is a scene in stranger things finale with mike pouring water out of a hose... and it is filmed from an upward angle, as if the viewer is below mike looking up... and right after that will gives mike one of his signature yearning looks... duffer brothers explain yourself

sorry, got taken to the upside down where it’s still 2013, apparently

“byler gets murrayed” this, “byler gets argyle’d” that. byler gets vecna’d

ok here we go

[ni-kta]

am I looking forward to will byers' corruption arc in season 5? you bet

[ni-kta]

will byers' corruption arc be like:

will: survived upside down for a week, got possessed, got his insides burned with fire, got a 24/7 connection to the upside down as a bonus, moved across half the country and away from his friends, realised he was gay and in love with mike who stopped talking to him

will: I am a-ok, here is my alan turing presentation and my neat bowl cut

mike: forgets about will's birthday

will: *goes into berserk mode*

mike wheeler, with his back to the mirror, glancing over his shoulder: how would someone willingly dump that ass

all the fan favourites that were cruelly and unnecessarily slaughtered in stranger things share the same initial: barb, bob, babygirl, byler
