On this episode, we’re talking about dragons, specifically dragons that shapeshift into a hot person so you can kiss them.

The tentpoles this week are In the Vanishers’ Palace by Aliette de Bodard, the movie On Drakon, and “O Captain, My Captain” by novembersmith.

Maybe this is a question that has been asked many times, but have any of us considered that Santa Claus makes the most sense if he is one of the Great Old Ones?

Capable of instantaneous travel all over the globe; he spans nations

Many unpaid minions who seem to live only to do his bidding

Including eight hooved, horned, flying monstrosities

Possibly nine if you count He Who Glows

An unknown, unseen mate hidden away in a barren arctic waste

He is himself all-seeing, all-knowing

Used to scare children into good behavior

Offers extremely conditional gifts

Appeased by offerings, for the most part

His belly swells greatly with offerings, described as “gelatinous”

(cf “Shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly”)

Despite this, he is “lively and quick”

Per the famous documentary “The Santa Clause”, when one dies, another must rise

Are we certain he has no tentacles? What’s under the beard?

When in mortal form, dresses entirely in furs

His yearly festival drives all who worship him mad

I think we all need to start acclimating ourselves to the idea that one of the Great Old Ones has, in fact, risen, and he is coming to town.

don’t let anyone dehumanize you

dehumanize yourself

be the creeping eldrich horror you have always longed to be; rain furious vengeance down upon those who would unmake you

Official @sortinghatchats quiz!

The time has come! Who wants to try out our @sortinghatchats style sorting quiz?

Go here and begin your adventure:

https://ejadelomax.itch.io/sortinghatchats

If you run across any bugs or errors, let us know in the sortinghatchats ask box. If the whole thing just jumps to the top of the page and… shakes… that is a known bug and we’re not sure why it’s happening. But it doesn’t happen very often! (I think it’s to do with the hosting site?)

We had a blast making this quiz, coming up with wording and questions, and testing the paths people can take through the quiz content. We even made some new friends along the way!

We hope you have as much fun with it as we did. We think this is one of the culminations of our system, especially in terms of making it more accessible for newcomers. Enjoy.

A story can be powerful enough to bring a nation to its knees, certainly. But in the right hands, a story can rebuild a broken dam, keep the floodwaters back, and save a life – or ten thousand lives.

tips for driving down back roads at night

check to make sure all of your headlight bulbs are working before you depart from your starting location. not only are broken headlights against the law, you could potentially be blindly stumbling into some dangerous territory. the more area you can see, the better. the last thing you want is to be stuck on their land.

do not let your eyes linger on the wheat fields. some have reported a sudden drop in temperature in their car. some have spoken of a tugging sensation coming from the fields. some have claimed they saw the devil himself grinning back. you do not want to find out what lurks within the wheat fields.

if you happen to come across a hitchhiker, check for wounds or anything out of the ordinary on their person. if their eyes reflect your headlights, drive faster. do not stop under any circumstances. do not slow down until you are absolutely sure they cannot catch up to you. they are not human.

do not slow down or stop to marvel at the cottage in the forest. do not go inside or get out of your car. you will not return unscathed.

if you see yellow eyes watching you from the corn, continue on. they are just the ravens.

if you see red eyes watching you from the corn, continue on. they are just the crows.

if you see green eyes watching you from the corn, get out of there as fast as you possibly can. they will follow you. they will hunt you down.

objects in your side mirrors indeed seem closer than they look. don’t glance over too often, though. they come nearer with every look.

the creatures in the woods are rumored to attack pickup trucks more often than any other type of automobile. make sure all of your windows are shut and your truck bed is empty and uncovered if you drive one. you wouldn’t want to ferry one of them home without knowing.

do not stare at the empty, broken-down cars on the side of the road. they do not welcome the gazes of strangers. it is best if you only say a quick prayer for them and drive on. you do not want to be next.

the radio may spit out some inaudible blubber occasionally. white noise may come through for a few seconds before reverting back to what you were listening to. just convince yourself you’re driving through a spot with patchy satellite signal. don’t mind what they’re saying through the static. ignorance is bliss.

some travelers claim they often hear shrieking while they are driving. contrary to popular belief, they do not want to hurt you. they are just playing tricks on you. just don’t slow down. just don’t stop.

whatever you do, don’t fall asleep. pull into a rest stop, at least. do not fall asleep on the side of the road. you may not wake up again.

the witching hour does not apply when you’re on the road. they roam after sunset. they are bloodthirsty. stay aware of your surroundings.

that stain on the grass over there was definitely from a deer. don’t think too much about it.

right?

not everything that you can see is real.

not everything that is real you can see.

the devil never sleeps. he is out for blood. he is nothing like anything you’ve ever seen before. you have been warned.
