As tends to happen whenever @timescarcass.bsky.social sit down to chat, focus spirals out into all sorts of subjects. This is our post-"Lovecraft Retrospective" chat, which involves discussions on various topics (including fundamental differences between the left and right)
youtu.be/vnEu_ZarsVM?...
incestuous familial relations, various forms of cross-generational abuse, unspoken gay romance and way, way more besides.
And all in a manner that the author himself seems blithely oblivious of.
The Thing On The Doorstep, a horror story whose calm and composed surface belies a seething, subtextual depth of gender identity questions,

For the evening crowd, @timescarcass.bsky.social myself discuss maybe the most unwittingly revealing Lovecraft story of all:
youtu.be/3QEkxzlroV8?...
He can start as many wars as his hereditary-Syphilis-addled mind can conceive of:
He'll still be a child-abusing, people-trafficking orange stain on the history of humanity. Nothing is going to change that (no matter how ardently his cultists might want it to).
In this most revent Lovecraft Retrospective, @timescarcass.bsky.social and myself tackle the most subtextually queer of old Howard's tales, The Thing On The Doorstep (enormous fun, this one, moreso for what it doesn't say than what it does).
youtu.be/3QEkxzlroV8?...
They are stunted infants in the bodies of adults. Spoiled brats who throw shameful temper tantrums and rush to externalise blame whenever anything doesn't go their way.
It's pathetic.
I don't understand how anyone can look at the pathetic, Trumpian reaction to their by-election failure this morning and not understand:

There is sincerely no one more entitled, infantile and enslaved to their precious fee-fees than right-wing drivel merchants.

Exclusive advance access for my patrons. A new Lovecraft Retrospective with @exaggeratedelegy.bsky.social. We temporarily take our leave of Hannibal's Baltimore and head over to Lovecraft's Arkham for The Thing on the Doorstep... www.patreon.com/posts/lovecr...
26.02.2026 00:05 — 👍 8 🔁 4 💬 1 📌 0I still find myself incredulous that shows like Hannibal even exist. It's so far removed from what most shows even attempt in terms of its weirdness and ambiguities.

These two episodes, man. Outside the likes of Twin Peaks: The Return, they might be the most transgressive, beautiful examples of what TV shows are capable of as a medium of bleak poetry.

In our traditional pre-Hannibal chat, @timescarcass.bsky.social and myself discuss the propensity of the powerless to forgive or justify practically any sin of the powerful (among other topics).

Myself and @timescarcass.bsky.social reach the final course of Hannibal's second series with the episodes Tome-Wan and Mizumono.
Content warnings: They are easily the most graphic and gruesome in the entire run.
youtu.be/w00RDGUG66k?...
YES! This is definitely one of the novels I've been waiting for Mira and Ian to get to! Undoubtedly one of the most compelling in the whole series (it achieves the feat of taking Angron, one of the simplest archetypes in the lore, and making him a genuinely interesting, nuanced character).
19.02.2026 16:06 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Our sincere pleasure, Mira. It's been a sincere joy rediscovering the 30 and 40K universe with yourself and Ian.

This story really does hit different the second time through: There's so much subtext to every interaction, particularly where Versso is concerned.

Hannibal Digested finally reaches the end of Season 2. @exaggeratedelegy.bsky.social & I just recorded on 'Tome-Wan' & 'Mizumono'. My patrons will get exclusive advance access as always.

Resi has always distinguished itself regarding the grotesque invention of its monsters. Resi 2's William Birkin has always been my favourite:

I'd forgotten quite how difficult and desperate Clair's scenario is in the remake:
