#Mothman Museum

[eggcatsreads]

All the books I've gotten so far! I might get more once the Mothman Festival actually starts tomorrow, but these are all the ones I've gotten before then.

I saw the "Local Author" tag on these first two books, and spooky books are my forte, so I ABSOLUTELY had to grab Stix and The Hills Know by Breanna Leslie! Hopefully I'll have the energy to read them while I'm at this cabin in the woods,to really sell the vibe!

My mom wanted to know what on earth we were in West Virginia to find, so I got her Monsters of West Virginia by Rosemary Ellen Guiley at the Flatwoods Monster Museum so she could learn for herself.

While in Sutton, I also grabbed Sasquatch by Jeff Meldrum at the West Virginia Bigfoot Museum so I could learn more, since my Bigfoot knowledge is woefully lacking.

Today at the Mothman Museum, I alao grabbed:

Bridging the Tragedy by Bill (phD) and Jacqueline Kousoulas, since I have quite a few Mothman books but not this one (I even accidentally have two copies of The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel, with two separate names for them, lol!)

Cryptids, Creatures and Critters by Rachel Quinney, since I needed the art in person.

And finally, the Crème de la crème, Mothman Baby! by Elias Barks and Zoe Persico, as it was simply too cute to pass up!

(To quote Chris Fleming - "I know it's for babies, but I NEED it!")

Can't wait to dig in to these books, and hopefully I'll find more treasures tomorrow and Sunday at the festival

It's a two day drive from where I live to where my mom lives, with multiple possible routes over the Appalachians, but I like to go via Gallipolis OH/Point Pleasant WV, so I set my GPS to take me to the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant before changing it to my destination once I arrive. Anyway my GPS saying "Mothman Museum" has triggered the emergency recording on my dashcam three times today.

Me: Rachel, would you like to go to the Mothman Museum with me?

My sister: In Point Pleasant, West Virginia?

Me: I guess, so would you like to go with me?

My sister: Depends on the amount of moth imagery

Road trip update: What’s the point of going thru West Virginia if you don’t pay tribute to the Mothman?

Road Trip AU / bonus points if it involves the GPP

-Ever since he was like eight, Willie has had this idea in his head that when he was 18, he was going to go on a Road Trip Across The States To Find Himself. Even though he's pretty confident in who he is now, he doesn't want to let down Tiny Willie.

-Except he's kind of maybe sort of part of this great big Polycule. And if he invites Alex, who honestly looks like he could use a Coming Of Age roadtrip, he has to invite his other boyfriend. And his boyfriends' girlfriends and girlfriends. And their girlfriends... and boyfriends. It's complicated.

-So clearly his idea to steal one of Caleb's cars... ahem find a car and hit the road isn't going to work. But doesn't want to give up on his dream, and he also doesn't want to leave everyone behind. What if they figure out they don't really miss him?

-Reggie finally teases it out of him, but Luke's the one who is most enthusiastic about it. For a hot second, Willie is worried his big adventure is going to be co-opted by some kind of music tour, but it turns out Luke just thinks it would be really inspiring.

-"And it'll be one last summer all together before everyone does their own thing," he adds shyly. Because yeah. Julie and the Phantoms is pretty much set to explode onto the music scene, but Flynn is going to head off to college. So, shockingly, is Carrie, after Dirty Candi crashed and burned their senior year.

-Carrie is the one who comes up with the solution. By which she means 'throws her dad's money at the problem' and suddenly they have a converted bus which is... like a tour bus-camper van-tiny house combined.

-She admits she knows it's not exactly the rugged living Willie envisioned, but she shows him that inside the storage, there's room for a bunch of tents so they can still go camping and stuff, too.

"You're going camping?" he asked.

"Obviously not, but you guys can and I'll make sure nobody steals the bus," she rolls her eyes.

-They set out and it's different than Willie imagined it, but also better. Like, he never expected that him and four of his friends would have to get their special Driving A Giant Ass Tourbus licenses beforehand, but it's better than Carrie's idea of bringing a driver. That's not very coming of age at all.

-There's people to bicker about the music with. He doesn't have to do all the driving, so sometimes he can just sit and watch the scenery. There's always someone to snuggle with, at any hour.

-They do a lot of things and go a lot of places that Willie never really thought about. Kayla and Flynn seem determined to hit up the weirdest tourist traps. Luke knows all the best music-y places to go. Julie keeps them updates about every region's cryptids, because her brother keeps sending her links. (Of course their giant fortress has perfect wifi.)

-Reggie really flourishes when they get to 'yeehaw country' and he makes them all go horseback riding with him. And line dancing. And there may be a mechanical bull that gets a lot of use while they're there. Even if Alex is worried they're going to break something until Reggie coaxes him on with him.

-Watching his two boyfriends on a mechanical bull together Does Things To Willie, okay.

-Okay, so maybe watching Luke on the mechanical bull also Did Things To Him, but he tried to avoid thinking of that.

-Between the mechanical bull, swimming in the lake at the park they stopped by, the campfire sing alongs, and seeing Luke in something other than IT'S ABOUT THE MUSIC mode, Willie is like: oh no I have a crush on my boyfriend's boyfriend.

-Of course Luke is still wrote songs, scribbling away in his song book, plucking at his guitar at rest stops (no guitars or skateboarding in the enclosed space with no escape while we're hurtling down the highway, they'd established.) But he also made time for all of them, and indulged every group photo in front of World's Biggest Bowling Pin or Ball Of String or what not, listened attentively to Reggie geeking out over a comic book exhibition they stumbled upon, and agreed to stay with Kayla while the others went on the Big Scary Roller Coaster so she wouldn't have to sit alone.

-And maybe there's more to Luke than meets the eye. They end up driving through the night together and talk, really talk, and yeah.

-Alex is the first to notice and just gives Willie a fake judgemental look. He and Luke never worked out romantically after they dated when they were fifteen, but he still knows the appeal.

-Reggie is over the MOON when Willie maybe kind of confesses it on one of their private walks. They all make sure to spend time together one on one, either splitting up to do different stuff when they hit a big city, or just going to different places to get food.

-Of course his stupid boyfriends do everything in their power to get him and Luke alone together over the next week.

-By the end of their big coming of age road trip, Willie may not have found some mythical version of himself, but he did find a new boyfriend.

#the greater polyphantoms polycule #(yes I added kayla just for you the great thing about the tag is that it's just a catchall for 'welp there's too many of them') #julie and the phantoms #fanfic #I wrote a thing #I have no idea when this turned into a luke willie thing but it did whoop #carlos just like: oh you're in west virginia say hi to mothman #they totally stop at the mothman museum and send some stuff to him #and a selfie of Alex and Willie with the mothman statue's amazing butt
