Opening Hook "Welcome back, fellow travelers of the weird. Today we're diving into the final three stanzas of the poem 'I, Hastur' - arguably the most dangerous piece in the entire Emerson Portfolio. This is where everything comes together: the Shepherd, the Darkness, and the Yellow King converge in a dance that literally shaped reality itself." Segment 1: "The Yellow King Speaks" (Stanza 3) The t...

The shepherd's quiet guardianship meets its first true resistance as the ancient dark stirs—and what creeps within it becomes the Unspeakable . The shift is gradual: things "crept into the Darkness / and became something Unspeakable," until the shepherd realizes the void is awake and fighting back. The Queen in Blue - Deployed The clash rips the spirit-realm's middle lands—especially the Dreamland...

In this opening stanza, the story pulls us back to a primordial time— before the moon cast its shadow, before Carcosa, even before humanity's discovery of fire . We meet the figure who would become known as the First Shepherd , a good man who loved his sheep so deeply that their bond transcended the physical. Together they dreamed, and in those dreams, he stood guard. When nightmares threatened hi...

Blingermeyer" series, detective Quiescence Prow — a rationalist legend who has debunked the paranormal for decades — stumbles into something he can't dismiss: real magic. It begins with a spitting cuckoo clock in a retro bowling alley, a snake-skinned man visible only in mirrors, and a masked woman under some unseen compuls...

his isn't just a poem. This is the spine-crack heard across the dreamlands. In this episode of Queen to Rook Black , we go deep— deep —into the metaphysical engine room of the Queen in Blue mythos. Rhombus Ticks uncovers a poem so saturated with cosmic implication it rewrites the board: not just who's playing the game, but what pieces mean what . The Black Rook stands revealed—not as a mere chess...

In this pulse-pounding solo episode, Rhombus Ticks cracks open a sealed folio containing what appears to be a redacted police report crossed with a metaphysical vigilante tale. What follows is the story of Manfred , a techno-vigilante from another dimension stranded in noir-era Los Angeles, navigating Nazi infiltration, occult conspiracies, and something far, far worse. Manfred uses ultratech gear...

In this deliriously mythic second entry, Rhombus Ticks delivers another letter to his elusive patron EP Blingermeyer — this time uncovering a poem so anachronistic it might just make the Smithsonian implode. Found on American-lined paper carbon-dated over a thousand years old, the poem by Emmit Other, Le Manse Du Baton , tells of a forgotten noble line tied to Carcosa, erased from history, and bou...

In this haunting and intoxicating episode of The Queen in Blue , Rhombus Ticks unearths a hidden chapter of American myth: the fate of famed writer Ambrose Bierce , whose mysterious disappearance becomes the gateway to cosmic horror. When a dogged investigator named Janice tracks Bierce's trail to a dusty Laredo bar, she's drawn into a surreal and increasingly terrifying narrative involving a lost...

"Tossing Grenades at Windmills" - Episode 47: "The Emerson Portfolio" First Episode in Two Years After a mysterious two-year hiatus, Rhombus Ticks returns with his most dangerous episode yet. What started as genealogical research in his late grandfather's Louisiana estate has uncovered something that defies explanation - a century-old folio containing documents that shouldn't exist. In this extend...

The Kids Online Safety Act is a Bipartisan Bill meant to "Protect the Children" "For the Children" and to stick it to "Big Tech" (which I made a series about called The Sins of Silicon Valley) but this wont protect kids and will help nazis hurt LGBT kids and help nazis track teens seeking abortion.  Drunk Senator Warren and Drunk Senator Markey and 18 of their 'liberal' and 'progressive' collegues...

Mr Right and Mr Kind speak to the Librarian.

Rather than some flowery prose, I basically lay out the case about why freaking out about the insideous och constitution is nuts, and how Article V isnt as important for creating a new constituion as you think it is.  The US Consitution was illegal per the Articles of Confederation and the Articles of Confederation were not mentioned anywhere in the Declaration of Independence.  The Declaration of...
