Hey y'all! I'll probably do a few posts talking about the Media Archive thing that you found. Good job on finding it by the way! I know I don't talk much but I still take a look here and there at what y'all are up to. I'm not sure how I'll split up this discussion about the website but for now, I'm just gonna say that all of it was...well, pretty horrible. There were a few little nostalgic things - seeing the Rob's Diner Menu again, a few of the old Mayor ads, and a couple other things was nice. Other than that though it was just saddening and disturbing.
Time to actually talk about stuff though. I'll start with that first WCBS broadcast and just do the other 1950's stuff in this blog post. I don't have much to say really. Just that it's pretty funny to me because I actually remember watching that on TV live in 1952. We'd gotten our television set a few months before to try picking up stations from farther away and I was so excited about a local station popping up. I was 12 years old or so, and I sat wide eyed in front of the TV watching the test broadcast with those images for the first time. I didn't even notice those skinwalker rune things because of the quality. It was nostalgic as hell to see it again even if the context is way more horrifying than before. The Unifier and whatever else it was talking about is interesting but oh boy, it was a blast from the past to see that. Second, that image of the 1959 Harvest Festival. All I'll say is that it's goddamn hilarious to see everyone in those goofy traditional harvest festival clothes. They stopped requiring 'em around the 1960's but before then everyone had these 'ceremonial clothes' that were pretty outdated. It used to be tied to the church and whatnot a lot more, so it was the same sort of concept as Sunday dress. Doesn't matter though, just an entertaining detail there. Onto the important things now: The 1955 Hijacking by that William Thames fellow. I said before that I heard a lot about that one when it happened but that I never actually saw it. I only saw the one with Louise. It always was a mystery in the back of my mind and now 65 years later I finally get to see it. I guess it's nice to get resolution on that. It was pretty similar to Louise's hijacking in my opinion but it's got some differences in the way William talks. I can see why people got scared outta their goddamn minds from it. And also speaking of Louise, her hijacking isn't there on the media archive. I'm talking about the one from the 1955 Harvest Festival that I sent Daniel. It's just completely gone. No mention of it or anything. So...it seems like somehow I got the only copy and now Daniel has it. Still a mystery to me why it showed up on my doorstep. It's one question that I might never be able to answer. But there's a positive to it I think. It means that we have something that they don't. We know something they don't. There's some food for thought for you folks. There's other stuff about Louise besides just that. There was a photo of her escaping the home. The first archive said that she broke into that place, learned a bunch, and then escaped to start a rebellion. That entry on the private archive matches up with when she started acting all weird and different around me and everyone else. I still don't know how she did it. I mean, she was a pretty good hunter since she lived on a farm and everything, but it's just sorta surprising that she got into such a high security place. Come to think of it, I might have a picture or two of her from around then from hunting trips. I'll go dig around for 'em later. Anyway, the only other thing with her was that last photo. That last goddamn photo. "The Final Moments of Louise Peterson". Jesus Christ. It makes me sick to look at. 65 years since she went missing but it hurts to look at just as it would have back then. It's just...horrible. Disgusting. Disturbing. I hate it. I hate it so much that I can't even find the right words. She didn't deserve that fate. I knew the outcome for the past ~60 years, I knew what happened but...actually seeing her like that is something else. It's hard to deal with, folks. I wasn't expecting to have to see or think about it any more than I already had from that recording and from the whole ordeal with it in January but...there it is taunting me. Those shapeshifting bastards deserve everything they get from that man Topas and the other rebels. I'll talk about all of that soon though, not right now. I've already been writing for a while and I'm just real riled up at the moment. I'm gonna go take a break. Maybe go on a hike to clear my head. I hope this was insightful to y'all. - Trevor
