I honestly envy people that didn't find Red Valley that good. Like I can't imagine not being obsessed with this podcast. I have a life to live, I have hobbies, I have other interests, but I just can't get this masterpiece out of my head. Honestly concerning. Has to be one of my greatest hyperfixations of all time.
It's finally starting to feel like Spring 🌷🌷
I TOLD YOU 🫵 HES NOT 🚫 A COP👮 HES A BOTTOMFEEDER 🕴 JUST LIKE YOU 😡❗ WHAT ARE YOU 😐 MORE PISSED OFF ABOUT 🤔❓ THE FACT THAT I TOOK SOME SHOTS OF YOU 📷💥 OR THE FACT 🧐 THAT I TOOK SOME SHOTS OF YOU 📷🔥 WHILE YOU WERE CHEATING ON YOUR WIFE 👫💍❓ I DID NOT 🚫 CHEAT ON HER 🤬💥💢 WHAT DO YOU CARE 🤷♂️ WHAT I THINK ANYWAY 🤨❓ I DON'T GIVE A CRAP 🙄 IF YOU COVERED YOURSELF IN PEANUT BUTTER 🥜🧈 AND HAD A 15-HOOKER GANG BANG 🗣️❗❗
One day I'm just gonna start posting my shitty no context little to no spoilers reviews on horror movies and maybe I'll even do it in russian just for the sake of it being chaotic and way too illegible for anyone to actually read this shit. One day I might just become completely insufferable. Beware.
I officially enable anyone who wants to depict the Red Valley guys as twinks to do so. We all know they're not twinks. That's obvious, there's not a single character who hasn't made a remark on the appearance of Gordon and Warren. But we live in a weird and cruel world and sometimes you just want to draw your faves as twinks. And I don't really see the problem. The way someone depicts a certain character is up to that particular someone and nobody else. If you want to draw twinks then draw twinks. If you want to draw old men yaoi then do it. Whatever makes you happy and doesn't hurt those around you is great.
People really need to chill the fuck out. Especially when it comes to other people doing something that brings them joy.
Warren Godby really said 'this guy is just interesting' and then proceeded to get away with him on a road trip to blow open some cryoshit (without telling his wife) and get codependent and abnormal about the guy over the course of about two weeks.
Folks I think this guy might be just interesting or something...
So who was gonna tell me there's Dean fucking Winchester in My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009).
no one slaughter me right now ok I'm so flooded with stress hormones the meat would taste terrible
I've been relistening to Red Valley season 4 (like a normal and sane person) and I just realized that the reason Warren came to the cryosuit in EP4 was just so he could find out what he did. He could've asked GORD to tell him about it literally anywhere else. And yet he came to Gordon to learn the one thing about himself he'd been the most terrified of. Because Gordon makes him feel safe. Because Gordon is the only person that didn't know and didn't want to find out unless Warren would be fine with it.
I guess Warren's finally made a decision to look together (I mean in a way??)
Also worth mentioning that in Dracula the first one to give Lucy a blood transfusion was her fiancé. And after that he felt like they were really married. Just saying, yk. It surely doesn't have a single thing to do with a particular podcast in which the themes of marriage and honesty and devotion may or may not arise.
Thinking about the eroticism of blood and blood transfusions in literature. In particular the way that it’s used in Dracula. That Lucy Westerna’s life is prolonged through transfusions by her three suitors, the three men who loved her.
And I’m definitely not thinking about this in connection to any audio drama podcasts I’ve been listening to lately. Because, surely, this podcast—which contains countless references to pop culture and Samuel Taylor Coleridge—didn’t intentionally reference this literary history with a plot relevant blood transfusion.
It’s the gayest thing I have ever heard.
Guys... Do you think I should make crochet Warren... So he and crochet Gordon could hold hands and be perfectly happy and fine together... Also I am totally making Waffles.
Something something Warren only wanted to get out of Red Valley with Gordon and without him it all seemed pointless. And now he's got Gordon back and he once again has a reason to break free even if he breaks free into an apocalyptic future he knows little to nothing about. They make me sick /affectionate/
I'm crazy for WYWH3 playlist can you tell. It's my comfort playlist I can't help it.
you ever think about how between the hostage situation and the transfusion warren was always willing to bleed for gordon
congrats
OK SO. THE SEASON FINALE. LETS GO.
Spoilers under the cut.
Giving him a taste of his own medicine.
First of all, I sobbed when the episode began with WYWH theme. It's just a very sweet and melancholic theme and I love it.
The sound design was on top the whole season but this one literally ate so hard it alone made me super emotional.
Now to the actual content.
MALCOLM OH MY GOD.
I am a weak woman and I am the type to EAT UP anything family-related. And the way Rebecca was sincere and concerned about someone probably for the first time in years... And Malcolm was so sweet and soft with her I was on the edge of tears.
Bryony and Warren are so dear to me with their bickering. Fist fighting each other could fix them actually.
In GORD we believe. It is the funniest and I really love that everyone at the Valley likes it's voice and finds it soothing. I just think it's very nice.
I really can't say anything coherent about the blood transfusion because I'm so overwhelmed by blood symbolism in media I can't really tell when it's symbolic and when it's just part of the plot and nothing more.
Warren and Gordon are so sweet I am about to explode. They're literally soulmates it's insane. Like they may not be the endgame and it's fine, they work as a dynamic either way, but they're like jigsaw pieces that belong together. They remember everything about each other, every line since the day they met. They get better and show their true colors every time they have a chance to talk. They can find strenght in each other, they can finally relax and laugh when they're together. I'm so happy they're finally back.
I don't know why but I just feel so peaceful after this episode. Truly a masterpiece.
Thanks!
One might argue that blood transfusion is like a less horny brother of cannibalism as a metaphor for love. Just saying. Just saying...
Ok Hannibal NBC and Dracula altered my brain chemistry so nobody should listen to me and be serious about it ever. But like...
Let's just say. They love each other.
Just so you know I am like EXTREMELY hyped and nervous about the season finale so in the next 48 hours I am probably going to be absolutely insufferable. Also I WILL be doing reaction pics with crochet Gordon so uh be ready I guess.
made a whole new tumblr just bc i saw this fandom seems to congregate here most…. hi….. i bestow this offering onto the ‘let these guys be happy please’ altar
He's free, he's barefoot, he's 3 apples tall and he can't see shit because I haven't made him glasses and have no idea how to. Gordon Bloody Porlock, is he a doll or what???
Crochet Gordon is currently in need of a wig and a cardigan and I really hope I can finish everything today. Don't you just hate it when you don't have enough time for your hobby because of something stupid like University🥱
Actually considering crocheting my very own Gordon Porlock so I can have him as emotional support for the season finale. Watch me neglect my studies for the next week I guess.

Sometimes I hear a song and think OMG this is PERFECT for this podcast character I need to share it with the fandom. And then I realize that the song isn't in English.
I swear to God these stupid ass Babylon people with their stupid ass Babylon Tower causing this stupid ass language barrier...
• Bryony being human (pls)
• More bits about Bryony having only one hand
• Gordon's emergence goes wrong BUT in an unexpected way
• Warren doesn't know how to express emotions/is overwhelmed to the point of just standing in the corner with a blank expression
• Gordon says/does something at the end of the episode and we all freak out
• Clive is miserable (and possibly scheming)
• The Bastion. Give me more of these freaks.
• Hester saves the day (as usual)
We've gotta come up with bingo cards before the Red Valley early release.
Some ideas:
Stevie mention
GORD goes rogue
Impassioned speech by Becky
Becky kills someone
Pam kills someone
Robot dogs
Garden handholding
"That must be 3 minutes"
[Audible kissing]
Power Metal
Red Valley relisten hits so hard right now. I just miss Gordon so much he means the world to me.
Also 'let me live vicariously through you' is CRUEL. Dude NO SHIT you'll live vicariously through him. 44 YEARS IN THE FUTURE.
I really hope he's going to survive. This man has only ever known being overlooked and neglected let him be loved I'M BEGGING.
Who wants to live forever being on Warren’s official playlist changed my life btw
sorry I say weird shit sometimes I’m just so excited to be alive
I like this moment so much.
Warren doesn't see Bryony as someone pathetic or incapable because of her condition. He doesn't succumb to her manipulations not because he thinks she's weak, he's just outgrown them. And I think it's because he's been in her place. He's been seen as someone incapable, as someone weak and wrong, as an object. He won't show her any support but he won't treat her as she treated him either.
Also, not related to my first point. Warren only mentions the way she looks once during the entire scene. However, Bryony mentions her appearance all the time. She is very conscious about the way she looks and it's clearly a very sensitive subject to her. But she doesn't want anyone too close to her actual feelings, so she makes jokes about it as a defence mechanism.
I'm not getting anywhere with this, I just think she's so real for only having violence and sarcasm as her defence options.
The red valley folk be so secretive like just TELL ME what this man did. It can't be worse than the majority of the things the others did. Why so secretive omg
SOPHIA😭😭😭 MY LOVE HOW COULD THEY😭😭😭
Heartbreaking. Who the hell starts an episode like that???
