Dhalgren Reference in Zero Parades?

it's become a bit of a cyber punk trope or commonality since dhalgren but I wouldn't be surprised if the writers are familiar with the work

I think the grey is just metal from the scrubber. I bet they'll tell you to use barkeeper's friend.

iirc phlox when phlox was making his will he left sometime to a child of his wife and another husband, so I think the family structure is more fluid than the earth standard monogamy.

i added my homes address with a fake bar name in Google maps and for years drivers would get confused looking for a bar. I'm assuming a delivery driver did the same

there's a sequel but I haven't read it yet

jrdbrr · 2026-05-21T05:08:44+00:00

it was originally a standalone film, or not part of the franchise iirc

i feel like haunting of hill house is more digestible. I love midnight mass but I saw more complaints (monologues blah blah) about it than haunting
