Transcript:
Murph: Uh, suddenly you guys see, uh, over your shoulder while you're talking to this Dragon Turtle, uh, you see this old sea hag, hunched-backed and blue-skinned. She's got long, stringy hair like seaweed that sticks out under a cloak, this patchwork fabric of sewn together rags. She cocks her head and smiles at you with rotten, yellow teeth, and suddenly [snaps] you guys are cuffed at your ankles and your wrists with dimensional shackles.
Caldwell: O--Oh.
Jake: No.
Murph: These gold chains covered in runes that crackle with energy any time you move. Uh, and the sea hag is suddenly over your shoulder. She went from smiling at you to suddenly at the edge of this island.
Beverly (Caldwell): You don't look like you have any Werther’s Originals, and that worries me.
Sea Hag (Murph; old woman, exaggerated): Hah! I don't! Yer all gonna come with me!
Beverly: What do you want? What is it you desire from us?
Sea Hag: Shut the fuck up!
Murph: --she smacks you.
Beverly: Oh!
Hardwon (Jake): Ohhh, dear.
Sea Hag: Alright, yer all comin' with me!
Murph: You see two more arms burst out of her chest and she grabs each of you by the back of your necks. You are powerless to stop her as she drags you off towards one of her huts. But, on the wind, you catch the faintest hint of baby's breath and lavender.
Caldwell: Wait a minute.
Jake: Ho-ly shit.
Murph: … and that's where we'll end our session!
Jake, yelling: No wait!
Caldwell: No! Nonono! You can't!
Jake: Let me in the hut!
Caldwell: (distressed) Dimensional shackles! Oh no! She's in another plane! Aaaaugh!
Emily: (conspiratorial) A-lan-is~
Jake: You--you d--we're not ending this episode. We're still playing.
Murph: (laughs) Let's finish this episode though. Let's wrap it, then we'll keep playing.
Jake: Fine.
Caldwell: Okay. Okay. Okay.
[Clip cuts forward. Emily is laughing.]
Murph: And tweet about the show using hastag naddpod that's N-A-D-D-P-O-D!
Everyone, as the end music fades in and Jake sings increasingly faster than the group: We are we are! The youth of the nation!
Jake: 'cmon!
Everyone, speeding up: We are we are! The youth of the nation!
Jake: Perfect, we got it, let's record another episode!
Emily: Go go go!
[Laughter as their voices fade out and the music fades in.]

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

I’ve had a ridiculous workload for the past few weeks, but that hasn’t stopped me from reading chapter 16!!
@naffeclipse I want you to know how much I was wailing at this one. Just how quickly the hunter went from referring to them as their “dear friend” to “the demonic cryptid.” And the little moments when they finally began to realize that cryptid isn’t entirely dissimilar from the person they’ve gotten so close with… absolutely phenomenal!!
I’d say I’m at the edge of my seat after this, but I fell off that seat way back in episode four. Regardless, I cant fully articulate just how excited I am to see how things play out!!!

What yougotta understand is that when you're interacting with blogs from a fictional universe, such as the English Willy saga, ya DON'T GIVE THE GAME AWAY. Don't just TELL THEM all the plot. Don't tell them exactly what's happening!! Don't tell them the important names!! Send asks and such but actually think through, how would a normal person respond to all this? How would a normal Tumblrina respond? The answer is YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT FIND FUCKING EVERYTHING OUT IMMEDIATELY. The answer would probably be memes and clowning on things! If you wanna allude to things that will happen in the plot, ALLUDE to them. If you know that someone's gonna burn to death, say you hope the stress doesn't cause them to burn out. Please, my Tumblrinas, learn the art of subtlety in writing. You are not the main character in fictional universe blogs. It's okay.
