The combination of 'unnervingly flawless self-control' with 'occasional tendency to engage in reckless, dangerous, and borderline self-destructive or death-seeking behaviour' in a character is SUCH catnip to me

I've only listened to the mini-arc and then the first episode of season two but I'm already obsessed with Cord. She's just bitchy and small and she's an artist who decorates all of her stuff and just wants to explore the world. Canonically drinks all of the coffee they have with them in one night the moment no one is watching. She tried to claw that guy's eyes out that one time. Truly one of the characters of all time.
#Have decided already that Cord has never done anything wrong ever in her life. I don't know her life but that does not matter.#Cord could commit homicide for literally no reason like not even for money just for fun and I would be cheering and clapping.#She is perfect to me. Violent and rude teenage girl who is also a flying squirrel. Incredible concept flawless execution.#shrimp and crits#Cord shrimp and crits#my posts

Being in fandoms so small there’s not a single fic on AO3 is the worst because there’s like a new layer of being nervous to post any because it’s the first one. I don’t want to be the first one lmao? Cringe?
#have been thinking a lot about S&C fic I’m interested to write#and predictably the characters I want to write about the most are Brittany and Loretta. I stay loving women who don’t get enough screen time#or audio time I guess. because podcast.#wrote 1600 words of Brittany character analysis instead of doing homework today. would do it again.#my posts

Currently listening to the Shrimp and Crits miniarc Q&A and at the part where they talk about how Catie was originally going to try and make them sing during Whimsy World and Cap says "And that song would sound something like this," my spotify completely froze and I sat in silence for three minutes thinking it was part of the bit. Genuinely terrifying experience.

Anybody else up thinking about Sasha Rackett today
#always. ALWAYS. I never stop thinking about her. I love her.#also prev tag >#i just miss her so much#< you want to listen to Ghosts on a Train so bad. you want to get obsessed with Andrel Anderson so bad. I’m casting spells on you.#Andrel and Sasha would be friends I just know this.#Andrel would think Sasha is just so cool. she would look up to Sasha.#and Sasha can’t deal with that. Sasha would hate that. but she’d like Andrel.#they’d bond over being orphans who collect knives#rusty quill gaming#sasha rackett

Listening to The Magnus Archives and then RQG is so funny because you hear Ben Meredith is involved and get excited for a suave voice like Elias, only to realize he tends to gravitate towards Grizzop’s voice
#or david 7’s voice more accurately#for all the stella firma fans out there#< prev tags YEAH#Ben loves to do a voice that’s like. this guy is tiny and bizarre something is deeply wrong with him and he can only express it by screaming#rusty quill gaming

I fully belive the 18-months crew is pretty much:
Wilde: I'm the only sane person here.
Zolf: I'm the only sane person here.
Barnes: I'm the only sane person here.
Carter: I'm the only self-aware person here.

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

part of what makes tragedies tragic is the story being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside

Because we’ve already made a poll where voters can choose if their Blorbos are canonically queer or if they’re queer in headcanons, this one only asks about canon events
This request was sent to us and we made a poll in response to it. Send any Blorbo-related question you want to our inbox and we’ll make a poll on which people can vote with their own Blorbos in minds
#yes for both of my current podcast blorbos. Ari from Shrimp and Crits and Andrel from Ghosts on a Train.#both confirmed in canon#although shout out to the non canon special where Andrel has a hair cut that specifically makes one of her neighbors say she’s obviously gay#I don’t even remember if she’s described with the same haircut as canon which if she is that’s crazy. her hair isn’t even that short.

I miss RQG Wilde every damn day. I miss him and then remember he's running a tavern with his life partner next to the water where they bicker constantly, have their friends over, write and peer review smut novels, he gets kicked out of the kitchen, they mutually complain about their furnace, he's lucky he's so charming, they fucking love each other so much. I think about that and I still miss him but know he's fucking happy.

Rusty quill gaming may not be a technically good ttrpg podcast, it's long and very slow at times, but I loved it so much the first time I listened. The show and the fandom did so much for me as a young aroace. Not only do they have a canonically greyace character, they also have a canon qpr (!) Young me had never even heard of that, it changed my worldview.
Not to mention that Wilde is often headcannoned as aro, making zoscar an aro4ace qpr which is frankly mind-blowing to me even today.
So I want to send a bit of love out into the world for the way they handled all of this, it really made a huge impact on 17 year old me <3
#this is the show that got me into actual plays#the pacing is bizarre and the worldbuilding is absurdly detailed and there’s many combat scenes that last for several episodes#and I love it! it’s such a creature of a podcast and means a lot to me#rusty quill gaming

I love when Greg Ghosts on a Train describes something weird and they say “that’s the fucked up thing” whenever they’re asked a clarifying question.
#it’s kind of similar vibes to David Trials of The Apocalypse’s ‘no no this is good!’ whenever they get an idea#actual play GMs be having catchphrases#just listened to the most recent episode and the part where the King of Rats just walks away but continues being the King of Rats lmfao#horrifying Mickey Mouse hive mind. love the King of Rats. love that it’s gotten Weirder.#ghosts on a train#my posts

i think we as a society need to use cell phones/laptops/cars/backpacks to flesh out characters
#i LOVE when there are descriptions of things like this#Ari Green and his flip phone that he canonically does not save anyone’s contact info in#but also this only comes up when Ray Ray specifically tries to text him so I have to assume that he’s just memorized everyone else’s number#but Not Ray Ray. one of his best friends and also sort of technically his landlord.#I would say that he probably does have a contact for Goodfellow (derogatory) but when he had his short lived iPhone he does text Goodfellow#and he didn’t get that phone until after he’d quit so I doubt he put a contact for Goodfellow into his new phone#so he also does just know the number.#I guess to be fair even if he doesn’t know Sara’s number her texts are always so unhinged that it’s obvious it’s her#but he probably knows it#he DEFINITELY knows Rooster’s number which makes him not knowing Ray’s way funnier#but we don’t get descriptions of Sara or Ray Ray’s phones.#Sara’s case is bootleg fandom merch for something basic and her lock screen is a LotR quote#Ray Ray’s case is one of those thick ones and it’s probably a pretty basic color or design#Lock screen is a photo of him and Rooster at a Halloween party or at a football game or something#Sara’s contacts are all just first names but they all have silly profile pictures#Ray Ray on the other hand gives everyone nicknames and some of them are bizarre and unintelligible and the photos are all memes#I genuinely don’t even know that Ari would’ve bought a case for his iPhone honestly#he’s the kind of weirdo to be walking around with a naked iphone.#which makes it a miracle that he didn’t break it during a fight#but I mean when he did break it if he had a case on it they he’d have to take the case off which seems less dramatic than just snapping it#unless he used magic to break his phone which he WOULD do honestly#Ari with this really boring black case and it’s one of those boxy ones and he just Explodes It With His Mind. real.#they’re objectively funnier about cars since none of them canonically own one#like yeah Sara had the cop car but that doesn’t count as Her Car and she genuinely shouldn’t be using it the way she does#Ari not having a car makes sense and Ray Ray just bums rides off of Rooster#and then you get Sara who goes ‘my job comes with a car!! cool!’ and takes her boss’s car wherever the fuck she wants#also that time Ari enchanted the car?? but then Sara gets fired and can’t use it so there’s just An Enchanted Cop Car in this town??#also her motorcycle that she buys and then proceeds to use as rarely as possible#because Rooster’s truck is more convenient and then they Did That to Rooster’s truck and aren’t allowed to borrow it anymore#so they start using the van which literally only exists so they don’t need to use the motorcycle. no one wants to use the motorcycle.
