Even better than the dead loved one Comes Back Wrong trope is the “there is something in the shape of your dead loved one and it is not your beloved and it trying to tempt you and you must resist it at all costs” trope

david ward funniest horror protagonist alive. he isn’t particularly curious, he’s intelligent, he’s not pessimistic, he hates this city, he loves this city, this city loves him and wants him to love it back so bad, he has a 9-5, he feels he has no purpose, he goes up to the roof for a smoke break when his coworkers (which may have just been conjured by the city) start tearing each other limb from limb.

he’s not like a horror character who just goes “i do not see it” and lives in denial. he sees it. he hosts a little travel podcast about it. he’s very adept at surviving it because he’s worked out the patterns after seeing it so much. he simply does not linger on it, because he does not wish to. he thinks he used to be a better man

"'You used to record yourself talking about the city, didn’t you? Like a kind of tourist guide. That helped you, didn’t it? I’m sure it helped you.' No. Nothing helped me."

Eskew loves guys with fucked up faces. Can’t slap anyone in Eskew because there’s a 4/10 chance that their face will just come clean off. You go to punch a guy and his face just folds around your hand and eats it

I love I am in eskew I feel like I'm being gaslit

I love David. He has the most calm sounding voice as he recalls the new most traumatic thing that's happened to him

[blazernot]

"My name is David Ward, and I am in Eskew." Yeah you sure are buddy!

[kittykatninja321]

I wanna hear about David’s past hookups I know sex in eskew is weird as hell

i love it when a house is fucked up, haunted by nothing but itself and it’s own loves and hates, consuming residents slowly like a venus fly trap. i especially love it when the house is actually a city

[kittykatninja321]

I am in eskew is one of those podcasts where you have to pay close attention while listening because you’ll zone out for a second and then come back to David happily killing his coworkers so he can sacrifice them to some eldritch beast and appease the corporate overlords
