Season 3 promo posters!
Witch aesthetics: Cosmic witch
There's so much lore. An original soundtrack (masterlist here, thanks to @thisisnotjuli). It all began with a pair of boots. Then, a movie poster by @beelzeebub:

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)
One reading of what Mr. Utterson suspects the possible relationship between Jekyll and Hyde, and the 'ghost of some old sin', might be is that Hyde is his illegitimate son, but between Hyde entering through Jekyll's back door (literally and metaphorically), Utterson having a nightmare of Hyde breaking into Jekyll's bedroom while he's sleeping and forcing him to do his bidding in the middle of the night, and thinking of shenanigans around Jekyll's bed a second time, another theory he might have is that Hyde is Jekyll's secret lover, either estranged or ongoing, and between those two possibilities, the latter would be far more dangerous to Jekyll in social and legal terms if it were to be discovered or used to blackmail him.
For historical context, the novella was published in 1886, though as we will later find out, the only information we are given about the temporal setting is that the story is set in the 19th century, though it can't be any earlier than 1850, if you do the math based on Jekyll's age. Homosexuality between men in the UK in the form of sodomy was punishable by death until 1861, during which the Offences Against the Person Act was passed to amend the penalty for sodomy from death to a minimum of ten years in prison; later, and just prior to the novella's publication, the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 criminalized any and all acts of homosexuality between men (not just sodomy), including those done in private with no witnesses — even a mere affectionate letter would suffice as evidence for prosecution — to the point where it became known as the Blackmailer's Charter (source); this would later be the act under which Oscar Wilde would be found guilty of 'gross indecency' in 1895 and sentenced to prison.
Meanwhile, it wasn't uncommon for upper-class men to have illegitimate children, and while potentially scandalous, it would not necessarily be life-ruining — though of course, the concern in that case could be that Hyde has other information he is holding over Jekyll's head as blackmail, including possible relationships with other men that would be both scandalous and illegal during this time period.
only murders in the building is honestly like The fun little show. it’s so weird and so unlike anything else. the odd trio casting of two incredibly famous comedians in their 70s with Selena Gomez. the main plot revolving around true crime podcasts. the level of complete contrivance and silliness necessary for the entire plot’s existence. certain disability representation i haven’t seen anywhere else on TV. surprise bisexuality. the mystery-comedy-??? genre mix. Jane Lynch as a lesbian lookalike of Steve Martin. the most insane celebrity cameos so sudden and jarring that you get jumpscared at least four times every season. Nice, Hot Vegetables.
Hello! I've been struggling with how to depict and voice an eldritch horror entity. They are far removed from this universe, so I'm at a loss at how they would speak and act when interacting with a host/human. Can you help me and/or give me examples of what that might look like?
How to Give an Eldritch Horror Entity a Voice
-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.
The entity may observe humans like a scientist would observe test subjects. It is not inherently evil, just so far removed that it doesn't comprehend pain or morality.
Example: "You break so easily. Such a soft mind, blistering with thoughts. Why do you weep?"
Example: "Fear. I recognize the shape of it now. Like heat in the bones."
The entity is aware of its power but it enjoys the chase. It is patient, and speaks low and slow to stretch out the dread.
Example: "I can hear your pulse like music. Louder now. Louder still."
The entity is innocent and sounds sweet and playful, but does not understand the reality of what it is doing.
Example: "You're leaking! Why do you leak like that? Should I put it back in?"
The entity speaks as if it has witnessed countless lives, deaths, and civilization. Everything the human feels is insignificant.
Example: "You are not the first to beg. The first was a king with gold in his mouth."
The entity is just beginning to understand language, humans, and itself.
Example: "Pain. You... do not like it."
Example: "Lonely. That is the word. I have never been lonely before you."
The entity can't (or won't) use grammar like a human. It might communicate in fractured bursts, in symbols, in numbers, etc.
Example: "Lightlightdarkfolding--fold--fold--fleshwrongYES."
Example: "WE--I--MANY come through the not-between. Hello. Hello. Nothello."
The entity doesn't speak in the traditional sense. It communicates via dreams, hallucinations, physical sensations, etc. Words might appear as taste, as pain, or involuntary thoughts in the character's mind.
Example: She smelled salt and rotting roses. Then the message came: "Let me in."
Example: He tasted metal and heard weeping in the back of his mind.
