Just made my first animatic! This is one of my favourite episodes, and season 7 coming out was the best excuse to buckle down and try animating it. Didn’t manage to get it done before the first episode dropped, so consider this a New Year’s celebration!
A few favourite frames from this! The last one was definitely my favourite to draw with all the many, many I love yous

[image ID: a comic of lily and juniper from the Mabel podcast in green tones. In the first two panels of the first row, juniper is looking down at her wrist with a pensive expression and clenching her palm, then turning to face the viewer, a speech bubble with the word “Juniper!” on it appearing on the bottom left of the third panel, with the text “I want to unpick you like stitches, to see what makes you run.” Underneath, the speech bubble leads to lily, who is lit up by shafts of light through leaves and standing ankle deep in a creek. The row below that has two panels, with closeups of lily and juniper respectively. lily is blushing and lit up by sunlight, and in the next panel is juniper, half in shadow and blushing as she looks at lily. Below is the text “But I won’t. Mabel Podcast, episode 8.5 “Letter from Juniper”, and a closeup of juniper’s hands, with the word “lily” written on her left wrist in glowing gold. End Image ID.]

a character deifying the person they’re in love with is something only Mabel Martin can do, everyone else is just a sad little lamb who needs to get over it

This isn’t my house, I shouldn’t be here alone, but I am, I’m drifting through the hallway, I’m running my hand along the wall. If the house is a heart, I’m its blood. Do you know what I mean?

[ID: A simply drawn grid window with two vertical bars and three horizontal bars leads to a dark exterior. It seems to have frost around the edges. We can also see a small windowsill. Three horizontal lines lead to three phases: the one that goes up leads to “IF THIS HOUSE IS A HEART”, the one that goes right reads “YOU’RE THE HOOK”, and the one that goes down leads to “CUT THROUGH IT”. The background is white. The background is white. End ID]

happy pride to girls who are not quite girls; women distilled to their essence, girls who are creatures of their own creation; girls who hauled themselves out of form, from void, like god; girls with faces like the moon, lightning-throated girls, twig-things, heiresses, female accomplices, girls with amusing auras
oh no she’s breached containment (the mabelpod fandom)
I’ve been listening to @mabelpodcast and I STRONGLY recommend it if you’re into the same queer-horror-fantasy niche as me. It’s about lesbians in a haunted house.. and it is so much MORE! Please give it a shot :,-)
in king’s county, lady death waits for her lover to arrive on the corner of fifth and main street.
[image id: a full-body drawing of mabel martin. she is a woman with tan skin and brown hair down past her shoulders, wearing a black trenchcoat over a red hoodie and jeans. she has acne on her face and is looking down at her phone with a fond expression. one of her hands is in the pocket of her coat, and the other holds her phone; the phone has a speech bubble coming out of it which has a drawn heart and a line reading “ - AL,” which means “from anna limón” in this context. mabel is leaning against a brick wall. the drawing is dark, but mabel’s eyes are glowing green. /end id]
anna limón & dr. lawrence gordon: they are both. So Fucked Up. and Morally Grey. but honestly? yeah!! they’d get along! they both so deeply love the people they care about and have little regard for all else! they’re both stupid medical professionals! they’re both my silly little comfort characters! 6/10, they’d vibe.
mabel martin & adam faulkner-stanheight: they’d hate each other for a solid week and then realize they’re actually destined to be pals. adam infodumps about camera lenses for ten minutes while mabel very excitedly explains hagstones and their capabilities to him. i feel like they’re the type of people to go around town and find stray cats u know. they’re good. 9/10. PALS.
lolo garcia & detective allison kerry: lolo canonically hates authority figures & law enforcement, and she’d also despise that kerry’s method of dealing with things is just kinda. going with the flow. like if lolo was the one in the room when danny matthews got kidnapped? that boy would have been FOUND in MINUTES. 2/10. no.
ekaterina roskova & detective mark hoffman: they’re both primarily motivated by vengeance due to a loss: mark of his sister, ekaterina of her own life. while this is an important motivator for them both– along with them both falling into the Bite the Hand That Feeds You character archetype– ekaterina would not like mark as mark’s violence is aggressively self-centered. he hurts people because he likes to; ekaterina hurts people in an attempt to gain what she is owed. also, mark is a corrupt authority figure, and ekaterina wants his ass in the ground asap. 3/10, i feel like they’d understand each other but mark’s a coward.
janet kirk & will schenk: i’m gonna be honest. i have not seen spiral. however, will is apparently a serial killer fanboy who likes fighting corrupt people, so, yeah, they’d probs get along. solid 4/10.
jonathan mills & amanda young: “is this entire post an excuse to talk about jonmandy parallels?” fucking yes it is. next question. they are the SAME PERSON. they would HATE each other for MONTHS. how dare you be like me! i’m like me! and then they would realize that they’re both incredibly damaged people who need to open up and they’d go and smoke somewhere and discuss their feelings and jon would probably cry and then they’d be siblings forever. 10/10 this is my favorite thing to think about ever.
brandon & daniel matthews: oh yeah babey! teenage boys put in a hostile and abusive environment because of the failures of their parents! they would be friends. they’d hold hands platonically probably. also they’d laugh at amanda and jonathan. 9/10.
aurora silver & john kramer: . horrifying to think about! 5/10, they’d get along from a philosphical perspective but aurora would think john is soft on his kids and john would think aurora wastes potential. the polite coworkers who secretly gossip about each other. i’m correct.
anna, thomas, mabel, and jonathan all experience intrusive thoughts and they each cope differently. anna tends to go to mabel as she’s the only person she can be vulnerable with but sometimes she talks to lolo who gets it. thomas has his Loop and his Routine so he’s okay. mabel tends to either yell really loudly, make up a metaphor about her feelings, or just hide with anna until they go away. jonathan punches people. they are all idiots
