Hello From The Hallowoods Hashtag Guide

Maybe it would be helpful for the fandom if we posted a few hashtag guidelines? Here's how things run on the official blog, anyway.

#hfth and #hello from the hallowoods are the main two we put content under.

I use #hfth spoilers for stuff related to a major plot twist past the end of Season 1 and beyond, but as the official blog, we've got to be a little more generous with that than most.

Maybe more helpful is, we tend to tag season-specific stuff by #hfth s1, #hfth s2, #hfth s3 and so forth, so you can screen out specific seasons if you're not caught up yet and don't want any direct references to what's coming.

We do try to keep the Wednesday morning asks from grieving fans free of direct spoilers, but going forward they'll be tagged with #hfth livescreaming.

We do keep an eye on #hfth and #hello from the hallowoods from time to time, to admire some great art and block all the Halloween storefront spam bots, so if you want something to truly be unseeable by Mx. Wellman, we're implementing the #hallownope tag. (It's more spellable than Noptilnope).

Hope this helps!

#hfth #hello from the hallowoods #hfth fandom #hfthw is also common in the fandom

very random form of fan art, i know, but i figured i may as well share this audioscape i made a while ago, inspired by the scoutpost :)

That's so neat!

Hey, hey so I just caught up on last week's episode, and respectfully, what the fuck

Old man yaoi stonks are way down

Okay, question about writing!

(feel free to dm me if it's better/if you're up for a longer conversation about the topic)

Basically, my writing is very... simplistic and bare-bones. Just a lot of 'A does B and feels C in this moment' type stuff. I'd very much like to move away from just that and get into writing more impactful, evocative, deep and complex things like you do for HFTH.

How in the HELL do I even start learning to do something like that?

I started from a place of writing an overly complicated metaphor for every single piece of description, and am always trying to get more simplistic and bare-bones! But some of my most fun challenges in writing HFTH come from trying to play a game. I like repetitions of three, or certain characters having a signature piece of opening or description that comes up again at important moments. I like an opening sentence that immediately raises an internal question in the audience. "Diggory Graves knew three things," immediately causes the audience to ask, "what are those three things?" and then they're listening for another 45 seconds.

Play some games! Write a story where every paragraph begins with a new time of the day, or a single adjective, or a color. When you introduce a character, tell us the three most important things we need to know about them. Put a perspective in a story someplace it wouldn't usually be (the spoon in the hand of your main character rather than the main character themself). Breaking the rules can lead to some fun places! As a side note, I'm always trying to get further away from telling the audience that character A feels C in this moment. As Bryan Cranston once said, "If a character cries, the audience doesn't have to... but if a character tries not to cry, that's when the audience will." In a similar way, I feel like when I write 'Character A feels angry about the situation', it's easy for the audience to not care at all what Character A feels. I typically try to tell us instead that Character A's head feels hot, like her forehead is burning and her ears hold so much pressure they might explode, that she clenches her fists so hard that her nails leave deep marks in her palms, that she grits her teeth and says thank you to the person she's talking to even though she really wants to put her elbow straight into their nose. And all those things are telling you that she's angry without saying it directly, which I feel is much more relatable for all the angry people of the world.

Hello dreamers! Some local power outages today have delayed tomorrow's episode a little, still intending to get it out Wednesday afternoon if power returns! Stay tuned! 📻

Hi hi ! Blacksmith/jeweler here, could we (I) get any more specifics about one or both of Riot’s swords (or any of the significant swords/blades for that matter ) ?

Much love from the fire !

Riot’s first sword (Walt’s) is a very simple broadsword. I think it’s illustrated on the episode art of a certain funeral!

Riot’s second sword originally belonged to a guest story character named Leo from Season 1, and also gets an illustration in his episode. It’s much more elaborate with a decorative sun as part of the hilt. It’s probably more likely a broadsword than a longsword, but I don’t think it’s ever been described in that specific detail.

#hfth asks #hfth s1 #hfth spoilers

dumb question: are Jackie and Heidi (more specifically their names) a small nod to Jekyll and Hyde?

You noticed!

#hfth asks

Ok, so this may be a bit of a longshot, but figured it might be worth asking. Maybe your memory is better than mine.

Years ago, you used to go live on tik tok to read aloud every week. Among the books you read was a book of short stories. For some reason or another, my brain has decided it needs to find a copy of that book, but I can't remember what it was. Do you happen to remember what that book of short stories was?

It was probably 'The Haunted Looking-Glass' by Edward Gorey!

#hfth asks

only realised after this most recent episode that the Humble Boot wears a walking boot of some kind on his head and not. You know. A welly

That would put him blasphemously close to our noble grand political leader Vermin Supreme!

#hfth asks

i started listening to your podcast before i transitioned, when everything felt wrong and a little bit twisted and the black pines felt more like home than my body ever would. now, four years later, things are better. i've got a path i want to take in life and partners who'll support me in it and a future that i can actually hope comes true. i've written a full-length novel and i'm thinking about rewriting it since it's not published yet and i'm better at writing than i was a year ago when i wrote it the first time. i'm on meds and i'm taking them consistently. i have better friends than i ever have before. i know how to sew well enough that i handmade a pair of pants. i've been knitting my beta reader a cat shaped like a scarf. i won a juror's choice art award for a mosaic a while back. i'm happier than i used to be and i'm doing a relisten of hit horror podcast hello from the hallowoods. when i was younger i always felt like the world was ending. i still feel like that a lot, but hey. maybe the end of the world isn't such a bad thing, right?

And if that isn’t the journey the show hopes to see, nothing is. 🖤

#hfth asks

Apologies if this has been asked and answered somewhere else and I've missed it, but how are things on the One Hundred Eyes in the Dark novel front? Love the show and it brings me so much joy, currently on another relisten and just finished season 3 again, absolutely devastating and beautiful

It’s getting another wave of edits this summer before it goes back out to publishers! You’ll notice a break for Hallowoods over June-July which is pretty much just for One Hundred Eyes in the Dark writing time. 🖤

Hi folks! We've got a slower production schedule than usual this season to account for summer breaks and novel writing! Here's when to expect the next five Hallowoods episodes in the season! Hello From The Hallowoods Season 6 will still go for a full 30 episodes!

#hfth fandom #hfth #hello from the hallowoods

Episode incoming today folks; a little later in the afternoon! Stay tuned!

#hfth #hfth fandom #hello from the hallowoods

Hey dreamers! Our next episode needs some extra time in development - we'll postpone Episode 207 to May 6th!

Hello!

Just asking about the program used for the YouTube videos.

I read that it has ai features and just hope none of them are being used for making the videos.

Headliner in general probably does. All it does for me specifically is take my audio file, take my episode art, put the two together, and send it off to YouTube. (And put a red wavy line over the screen sometimes).

#hfth asks

It's the final day to order Print #6: Olivier and Print #7: Riot linocut prints! Orders will close the 23rd. Can't wait to start printing on this batch, and expecting a quick shipping time! https://www.hellofromthehallowoods.com/print-orders

#hfth fandom #hfth #hello from the hallowoods

Hey folks! In an effort to make sure Episode 205 is as easy to listen to as possible, it's been re-uploaded today as a brand new episode (rather than replacing the old file, which doesn't necessarily populate to folks' podcatchers once they've begun listening to the first version). Apologize for any confusion this causes, or if there's a window of time between the old file going down and the new one showing up for you!
