Hey! I’m listening to Inc rn (and loving it, im on s2e7) and I really want to do fanart but I keep forgetting to write down when new physical features / biological quirks are mentioned for the aliens. Would you have a list you’d be able to share?

Hi there! Glad you’re enjoying inc. So sorry about everything coming up.

We actually don’t have a list of all the physical and biological quirks of Bethany and Jonas’ species. They don’t have a canon appearance, and one of our goals that we set out with early on is that they’re kind of hard to picture in your head. Like little eldritch horrors who do paperwork and tell stories. That’s why their descriptions get overloaded with details, our goal was that they’re hard to picture all of, but the pieces are easy.

What that means as far as art goes is that there is literally no wrong way to draw them. You have permission from me, Monte D. Monteleagre, to get funky with it.

Here are some consistent details to get started:

-they’ve got a lot of eyes.

-they’ve got a lot of tentacles

-they have been described, at different times, as having hands, claws, talons, paws and probably more.

-they have bones.

-pretty sure that me and Alexander agreed to only one head, with one exception.

-their species does not have any sexual dimorphism, if they even have different sexes, which I doubt.

-Bethany is taller than Patricia and this makes Patricia upset.

Have fun! Here’s the color palette I use when making inc graphics.

Reblogging this because I realized I also have one of these for Tales From Wolf Mountain.

I mean surely we all grew up feeling like there was a wrongness inherently deep inside us that will endure for the rest of our lives

We’ve got another guest around the fire for you today. Everyone give a welcome to @shelterwoodpod.

From Bloody FM, Shelterwood: A Suburban Gothic is a horror fiction podcast about one man’s journey to find his long-lost sister. In the style of Limetown or The Black Tapes, this show mimics the format of True Crime podcasts, including dramatic narrations, slick production, and startling twists.

Season 1 follows podcaster Nicholas DeRoso on a quest to find his missing sister in an infinite suburban dreamscape called “Shelterwood”.  With the help of his reluctant friend and producer, Solomon Crockett, Nicholas must survive nightmarish monsters and the ever-present Homeowners Association in order to find her. Will he return to our reality with her, or be lost like many before him to the impossible development where smiling residents live out their deepest, darkest American dreams? 

Go and join and start your journey with Nicholas now on the Tales From Wolf Mountain feed, and say hi to your new neighbors.

And keep an eye out for our swap going up later in the day, neighbors!

HELLO!

Olivia here, finally wrestled back control of the tumblr log in from the girls. I don't know how long it will last. But while I'm here...

YOU'RE INVITED:

Are you free July 21st?

Do you like birthday cake and FREE stick and pokes?!

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then boy howdy do I have good news for you!

To celebrate the anniversary of our release, we are having a birthday party fundraiser in the city park west neighborhood of Denver, from 7-9pm.

There will be a little listening party, drinks and snax, FREE Parthenos themed stick and pokes, opportunities for fundraising, opportunities for political advocacy for gals and queers, vendors, and lots of other Parthenos-vibed surprise activities :)

Today’s optional prompt: Excised

Welcome to Mount St. Hera Sanctuary! Some of our rescued animals might be exhibiting slightly unusual behaviors. For example if you feel stared at while cleaning the aviary, pay no mind. It's perfectly safe as long as you don't touch the lines of the salt circle. (We'll also teach you a nifty incantation you can use in case anything tries to bite you.) Oh and never ever take the nightshift alone. I swear their eyes glow in the dark. What? Oh. It's nothing, dear. It's all perfectly safe. Where were we. Oh right! I'm supposed to give you the tour! Oh and one more piece of advice: Don't listen to the birdsong. Don't listen to the voices.

Very good horror comedy. The Blue Prophet was my favorite episode, still don’t know whether the bird was causing the deaths or predicting them.

The moonshiners union

Moonshining, one of the two ways to get around the excise tax on alcohol. Our podcast follows a group of moonshiners dealing with competition with Rum Runners who following the American prohibition shifted their operation to bypassing the Canadian Excise taxes.

The moonshiners are under pressure from their distributors to lower prices and instructed to fight the rumrunners. After the first confrontation leads to one of them getting shot and their distributor threatening them, they decide enough is enough. They get in touch with a bunch of the other moonshiners and try to organize. After all, if police can have a union, why can’t moonshiners?

Excised

Marisa can delete things from reality. With just a touch and a unique sound effect, that thing is just… gone, and no one but Marisa even remembers it ever existed. She discovered this power last summer after miraculously undoing an embarrassing car accident, and ever since then has been experimenting with what, exactly, she can excise from history. So far it seems to only work on physical objects, but she hasn’t tried anything too big. She has not yet figured out how to put anything back.

But when she snaps and excises her awful boss, the ripples of change are much, much bigger, and navigating this new reality with the wrong set of memories is harder than she expected. And it seems like this time, she’s not the only one who noticed.

[hopefullybeth]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is such a fascinating show. It’s so self-aware and ambiguous- the fact that she acknowledges the sound effect when she tries to describe her “power” to people. It’s like, is she making the sound? Is it diegetic non-diegetic?

It’s quite a stressful show to listen to, you almost feel guilty for questioning what’s real alongside Marisa. Especially once things get a bit heavier. Marisa begins to feel like she’s being hunted once she excises her awful boss, like a shark has been waiting for her to spill enough blood for it to catch the scent in the water, following the ripples right to her.

I didn’t expect to get so many answers in season 1 but they definitely come with a few questions as well.

Spoilers - the source of this strange phenomenon is much more otherworldly than I’d have anticipated and I kinda love it a lot. And it’s a bit terrifying, for ‘Risa and as a listener in general, just questioning reality a little bit. Also turns out the embarrassing car accident wasn’t actually the first time she’d excised something (or someone…) from reality - when she tries to set things right and put her boss back, Tobias appears. Marisa doesn’t remember Tobias. Tobias had a very different childhood to his twin sister Marisa (who excised him in the womb?). His embryo grew in a tree in the plane of excised beings and belongings. I adore Tobias so far, he/it is really endearing from the third or so of an episode we’ve spent with him. And with all of the looming threats set up and escalated through season 1 I am so eager to listen to the next season. Hope it’s not too long a wait!

I gave 4/5 stars; only because I’m such a fan of the surreal whimsy that arises at the end, and I’m a bit impatient, so would have loved some of the reveals to happen sooner. But I’m probably lying to myself, I really did enjoy the uncertainty and suspense - I think it needed to unfold like that to make the payoff worth it. I wish I had the restraint to write like this and withhold information in a way that lets the audience be so invested and active in listening/trying to figure it out. You always have the exact amount of information you need to be surprised (or figure something out just before Marisa does).

Thank you creators for creating this show - no pressure but I will be thinking about it every day and patiently waiting for season 2 to arrive

4/5

Great earworm! The voice acting for the poor intern is amazing, their freak-outs are easy to believe and sympathise with. I was extremely intrigued when I saw "Boston accent bird" listed in the credits and the episode did Not disappoint. The suspense of "everything is fine don't even worry about it :)" doesn't last as long as I would like, but it's completely understandable for such a fast-paced show. Plus, with the intern quickly having to also put on the Everything Is Fine act for the inspection was a great role reversal. The tonal range of the show manages to hit horror, comedy, and drama without missing a beat. I would have loved more breathing room but again, with the length of it this is extremely understandable.
