Sometimes when l tell people I like horror podcasts they go "oh, same, I love true crime!!" and I just have to nod along, because there is no way to explain to them that we exist in entirely separate worlds and also that my opinion of them just went down by like 15%

David Ward’s relationship with being seen, known, and understood is one of my favorite things about I am in Eskew. Take these two quotes:

Of course.

Like me, the city wants to be witnessed.

It wants to be understood.

(I am in Eskew, episode 27: “Breakout”)

But then there’s:

And although I was curious to see what lay at the other side of the tunnel, I was also petrified by the possibility of being seen by anyone - a mugger, a policeman, my mother, anyone - who might ask me what I was doing out here so late by myself.

The awful possibility that someone might try to hurt me or help me.

The awful possibility of being seen.

(I am in Eskew, episode 30: “The Boy Who Saw Cracks In The World”)

David wants to be known. He wants to be understood. But he’s afraid of it. He is afraid of how much Eskew knows him, about how connected they are. It’s one of the reasons the podcast ends the way it does.

Eskew can be really passive-aggressive, huh?

David Ward: This city sucks.

Me, on my sixth hour of handsewing: Fuck yeah it does, tell me more!

Eskew is so interesting because of the way it makes people feel wanted & important & loved in its own cruel and horrible way. the draw of the city is that it DOES want you. it DOES have a place for you amongst its impossible streets and horrible nightmares. and so it draws in outcasts like david & allegra & what have you because it is a place that will mold itself so that you fit within. I just think that's such a good premise. it's not like the magnus institute -- it never tries to hide its horrors or its dangers. it makes them a kind of draw. "if you are in eskew than you ARE eskew."

My favorite version of the setting-as-character trope is like… there is a monster in this place, but the place is also the monster. The monster inhabits the place like a soul inhabits a body. It moves through itself. It blurs into itself. Is the threat the unceasing storm or what is obscured by it? Is there something hidden in the dark, or is the dark itself what devours you? Maybe it’s all the same thing

the chokehold david ward’s soggy wotsit drowned rat ass has over me is truly astounding, i had a psychology appt today and we’re doing my autism assessment soon so as soon as my psychologist asked abt special interests i dragged her into david ward world for a full 20 minutes it was insane

I'm curious because I've seen Eskew on a lot of rec lists but never seem to meet anyone who's actually listened to it, and because the type of podcast that Eskew is means that the amount of fandom content on Tumblr doesn't necessarily accurately reflect audience size.

Considering reblogging, I refuse to tag this with a bunch of irrelevant podcast fandom tags but I'd still really like it if this was able to get out to the wider audio drama community.

Like a painting, he tells me. Like a sketch upon the surface of the air, a mocking caricature of a human skull.

image ID: a two-panel comic arranged vertically. The comic is drawn in pencil and colored digitally with a range of cool greys. The first panel is dominated by the looming figure of a person, wearing a dark purple shirt and grey coat. Its head is replaced by more of a large white spot that stands out against the grey clouds behind it. Its facial features are black and somewhat scribbly: two empty eye sockets, a nasal passage, and a wide toothy smile. In its thin hand, it holds the dark skin of someone's face, folded in half. The hand hangs in front of the next panel, featuring a tan boy with fluffy dark hair. He's wearing warm clothes with a bag slung over his shoulder. He stands in a doorway, hand still on the doorknob out of view, staring in uncomprehending shock at the person in front of him. Someone in the dark hallway behind him is resting a hand on his shoulder. End ID.

[Start ID: 3 sketchbook pages of stylized black and white lineart depicting scenes from episodes 29 through 30 of I am in Eskew. Page one has 4 images: one is of faceless people in suits from the Orion Building Concern gathered in a crowd. Two is a line of wooden stakes growing in the fields with a vague landscape in the background. Three is towers growing amongst a forest, with boils sprouting up between buildings and trees, and people drifting into it. Four is an email with corrupted veins growing over the To, From, and Subject Lines, while the message body reads: “JUMP” in increasingly scrambled fonts. Page two has three images: The first is of the window at Nana’s bungalow, with curtains parted to reveal a figure looking out from behind the brick walls and rose bushes. Image two is a view from inside the bungalow, looking past the waving curtains at a city violently tearing into the buildings of an army base. Image three is of a twisted and slightly abstracted tower with sharp spires reaching into the sky. Page three has four images: a large black crack in the wall, a tennis ball stuck in the concrete, a 2-D cardboard cutout with distorted perspective of Hotel Grand Basilica standing before primordial mists, and the city of Eskew with houses piled on streets, vast and winding pathways, and buildings dissolving into sketches as they loose their detail.

Decided to redraw this scene, I'm much happier with this version :D

This scene is one of the most iconic scenes in the entire podcast, and I feel that this redraw does it a little more justice.
