Largest religious denomination in the USA by county
Btw this doesn’t show atheism/irreligion, so like in Los Angeles, 60-70% of religious people are Catholic, it’s not that 60-70% of Angelenos are Catholic, just the ones who profess a religion.

the thing about the cw’s vampire diaries getting called “southern gothic” is that it doesnt give a fuck about its setting aside from using that to romanticize the confederacy and does not really seem to have any feelings about being southern because it’s a mass market show for teenagers meant to be broadly appealing.
but where it’s set (the no-man’s-land between charlottesville and lynchburg virginia) is actually a place with a very distinct regional character in real life and could actually fit that bill if people knew what it was like. it has not changed population size (15k) since the before the civil war, there’s one stoplight in the entire county, everyone is still grappling with the generational trauma of a flood that happened in 1969 because the river swept whole communities away and isolated everyone else from the outside world for weeks, there’s just this sense that things do not change at all because everyone just grows up and dies next to the same river everyone else in their family did and also it is one of the most beautiful places i have ever been to in my life. there’s SO much there that is an actual southern gothic ass place

While i work I've been listening to an LP of the Telltale Walking Dead Games (the ones with clementine, I do not care about the others lmao). Ages ago when I played these I was well aware/amused that part of season 2 takes place in Parker's Crossroads/Parker's Run because I grew up right next to it and the detail stood out to me.
But I never caught the line of "We'll head to parker's run. It's just up the road from here" until just right now. So I had a sort of "wait, where the fuck are they supposed to be right now?" (search)
ARE YOU SHITTING ME LMAO
So by process of elimination, since it's the only city with anything even remotely resembling a large home supply store, that would mean they're in my literal hometown. My tiny hometown in the middle of nowhere that's never in anything that barely anyone knows of.
How in the fuck lmao
