The Zoo Should Get TitaniumViolet

If you are traveling across America: you might, in the heat of the late morning, at the edge of a large city or an extensive forest, come across a large, hand-painted sign. It will only be there if you aren’t in a hurry, you will only notice it if you have no place in particular you need to be. The sign features one word. And, no matter your history with the type of entertainment it advertises, you will be intrigued. If you're lucky, you will continue on, thinking a sign that old couldn't refer to something that still exists. Unfortunately, it still does. But only if you aren’t looking for it. You are following a sign marked: Zoo.

@faundlie if i weren't in the middle of like. twelve other projects i would take initiative and start it myself (with permission, of course)

I miss the zoo podcast, every single day I am tempted to write the rest of the 2nd season

Do it, I dare you. I'll help.

i do, in fact, still have the vague idea of a Zoo oc kickin' around in the back of my head. they're a young adult with very curly dark hair and an indeterminate gender. nobody at the zoo knows how they got in. its unsure where/when/if they sleep and/or eat. they seem do have about as much knowledge as a regular Zoo employee, they even wear the purple Zoo polo over a thin white turtleneck. there is, however, no record of them on the payroll/staff manifest, nor do they wear a name tag or any other identification. by all rights they should be an exhibit, but nobody has found a way to keep them in an enclosure yet. in fact, any time they are locked in an enclosure Amos runs into them about two hours later and they return some cleaning supplies to him after reporting that they're done cleaning out the enclosure that was supposed to contain them. it is unsure where they got the cleaning supplies or how they are able to escape locked enclosures. mothman does not realize they're not actual Zoo staff. mckayla thinks that they're a normal part of the Zoo. Amos thinks they're a diligent worker and they're friendly with the gourd stand guy.

Zoo Podcast

Hey, Zoo Podcast fans, did we ever figure out what was going on in Perimeter? Because that recording was legit scary.

[bi-demon-ium]

my thoughts on zoo

does anyone care? no. do i care that no one cares? also no.

okay, so most importantly: i loved it. i really, really loved it. it’s up there with my favorite podcasts right now, on par with death by dying and welcome to night vale. it’s just fun. it’s engaging. it’s interesting. i stayed up for almost 24 hours straight listening to most of it at once. it’s great. 

i’m gonna put the rest under the cut because ~spoilers~ but like, here’s my opinions i guess! in no particular order.

Keep reading

the mothman obviously has other names but like is there one they prefer i wonder? that's more typical name then like... a descriptor?

[bi-demon-ium]

i would really like my two favorite characters to meet and interact. please. let titaniumviolet meet the mothman im begging u

[bi-demon-ium]

me before we meet titanium violet: oh my god i do NOT like this person, what the FUCK. no dont go to her just bc you think cryptozoology is bullshit doesnt mean you have to go to an idiot who's making up stories about a batsquatch at least try to find someone taking it seriously--

me the second we meet titanium violet (particularly when she tells us about fucking WAVING at the goatman flgkjfgh that was one of my favorite moments in the show): i love her, i would die for her, i adore her, i want more of her in the show, she's so valid,

Mothman’s antennae can get radio signals but only from the local oldies station.

You can freaking track when McKayla switches from her “Scully” brain to her “Mulder” one.

[shirleyjacksons-exwife]

McKayla from Zoo is relatable bc with her sister she's like

"I promise I won't tell Mom [about the stupid thing you did]. Or Adrian."

5 min later

"🎶 i can't wait to tell Adrian. Can't wait to tell him everythinggg 🎶 (texting sounds in the foreground)"

Dear TMA fan

There is a great podcast I think you will enjoy. It is called Zoo. Let me tell you about Zoo.

-FBI Agent McKayla who is a lesbian/Bi woman

-Mothman

-Zoo follows Mckayla as she goes through coldcases and the same faded purple Zoo sign with a moth on it keeps showing up in a lot of different case files and in the area of crimes

-Strange occurances and statements every episode

-Cryptids and a zoo for cryptids

-Loveable characters of all kinds as Mckayla and the Zoo go all over North America

-This is a bad summary but you can find Zoo where ever you stream your podcasts or on the Zoo Podcast website, please make me happy and listen to the first episode. It’s a nice series to start while waiting for a new episode of Magnus

If anyone actually listens to Zoo- message me and let me know what you think?

Edit: If it helps Zoo is by CJ Housh, Coni Kitts and Codi Philips! I believe on all platforms the icon picture is of a purple sign with a moth on top. The sign reads “Zoo” in a kind of faded yellow/gold type of color.
