Cheers to the nearly 8 HOUR VIDEO!! Normally post this stuff on my instagram but thought you guys will like it better

Little watcher Grian, I may make it into stickers or keychains and sell it, one day.

Group shot of our Lancer RPG MSMC crew. From left to right: Watcher, Shrike, Gemini, and Archmage. (Click to open full size) We named ourselves "The Angel Killers" at the end of our last (for now?) session. This crew has lived rent-free in my mind since we started playing.

And now Watcher - my friend's Lancer RPG pilot (adoerksen89 on Instagram)! Watcher is one of the newest MSMC recruits, but that doesn't stop him from obliterating enemies in one shot from his giant, cheerfully painted mech. He's also a talented hacker!

When you have limited resources but still want to participate (@wearewatcher)

( guys I promise I have a fit in mind for Ryan)

you better fix my life you little shit (affectionately)

i’m such a “rewatch puppet history at the first sign of trouble” ass bitch

Tumblr Top 5: Hottest Horror Movie Characters

Enter the sick and twisted minds of @wearewatcher's Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara as they countdown their top five hottest, steamiest, most sopping wet horror movie characters, with a little help from unofficial official Tumblr mascot, Coppy.

Hi hi, sorry for not posting in a bit. Kinda fell into a slump when it came to art for a sec.

I think I'm back now tho.

Anyhoo! Here's my own take of Watcher Grian/Xelqua

Funky man, he can have as many eyes as he wants but kinda keeps it on the "down low" for comfort's sake.

His eyes are all glowy when he's watching. His design is kinda simple and I also had a Pure Watcher design but ended up not liking it so all we get rn is grain.

I'm running off of a trash night's sleep so excuse and grammar/spelling i may or may not fix it in the morning

Top 5 Beatdown Spoilers Out of Context @wearewatcher

ryan bergara is the emma perkins of puppet history send tweet

Steven Lim: "we're hemorrhaging money every month I don't know if I can afford groceries at this point"

Ryan Bergara: "More than 20 people are financially dependent on me catching ghosts and my emotional relationship with a blue puppet, I'm so scared we'll fail"

Shane "meh we'll be fine" Madej: "meh we'll be fine"

coparents nursing their fucked up evil child with highly flammable gas

Yeah I'd say ghost hunting for seven years even though you don't believe in ghosts so that your pal will give it his all fighting a puppet is equal exchange

it’s giving whatever the dragon and donkey had going on in the motion picture shrek (2021)

Hull-House interview with the Ghoul Boys

I finally watched the interview Ryan and Shane did with the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum (The Haunting of Hull-House with Shane and Ryan of Ghost Files) and it was great.

They talked with the Hull-House Education Coordinator Nadia Maragha who not only did a great job as an interviewer but also seemed to be a fan of Unsolved and Watcher too.

The video started with the history of the Hull-House and the interviewer also told them about the space they had the interview in. I really liked that Ryan and Shane just sat there and listened. I love listening to what those two dorks have to say as much as the next queer but it was also great to listen to someone who knows what she is talking about and just watch Ryan and Shane.

They also talked a bit about the role of the Hull-House today - it is a museum on a college campus and part of the University Illinois-Chicago. The video will also be seen by the students of the university.

The interviewer said “Hull-House hasn’t really engaged very much with its supernatural history” and I find that incredibly interesting. Watcher got invited to Hull-House instead of reaching out first which I also find very amazing.

Shane said: “I think if you get people to read into these things or get them interested in these things then it’s worth what you’re doing. I’m sure there’s a ton of people who don’t know about Hull-House or Jane Addams or anything that goes on here cause it does seem a little more localized.”

And he is right, I did not know about it before but now I do. ^-^

Ryan said there is value in learning about other people’s beliefs and I agree with that 100% (and may I just say, the man is an absolute treasure).

They talked about locations they investigated - most creepy locations, favorite locations, and dream locations.

One question was especially interesting to me: How do they avoid sensationalizing places with a heavy history, how do they keep the balance between that and the comedic aspects of the show?

Ryan gave a very careful/thoughtful answer (seriously watch the vid) and he also said that believing in ghosts is perhaps one of the more optimistic things you can do because it proofs that there is something after you die. “Trying to kind of find proof of that is something that still drives me in terms of just my natural curiosity of the world.”

On how to get started with ghosthunting, they had this to say: use the phone you already have and go to a haunted place (Ryan), be safe, be vigilant, wear some boots, don’t go into a condemned building (Shane). Both answers I love because it’s basically just: “This is accessible, you don’t need fancy equipment”, and “Be safe, don’t get hurt”.

Nobody ever got to check out the attic! It is so cool to me that they were the first ones who hunted for ghouls and devil babies there. Amazing.

The interviewer said it is common that people don’t want to go upstairs because they don’t feel right about it, even if they don’t know about the haunted history.

Some random things:

Shane said when he was in grade school, he wanted to be an art teacher.

Shane did a project in school where had to present something about insects and he edited a video about bees.

Bergaraism - The Science We Don’t Know About Yet. A nice little reminder of “There is other science we don’t know about yet”. :D I enjoyed that a lot.

The interviewer also spoke about her own beliefs which was SUPER interesting.

Also, I really like her flower pen! ^-^

the funniest thing about ghost files is how terrified ryan is about finding evidence
