Happy anniversary of Graham being taken by the not-them to all who celebrate <3

How far are you into wolf 359 what are your thoughts of the show, and who’s your favorite character. (I lot of questions I’m sorry 🙏)

Oh don’t apologize for the questions im very normal about this podcast and am excited to yell about it. I’m up to season 3 ep 34 rn!

I absolutely wasn’t expecting to be as into it as i ended up being! But it’s just super charming and really well written. All the first season was pretty enjoyable, but i think the Empty Man ep is what sold me on the whole series. I love feeling genuinely uneased by media! I love when they can set their tone in a way that feels believable and immersive! It’s really good! It’s humor is really fun and although sometimes the characters sarcasm at each other is a little much, its always balanced out by the rest of the vibe. Im a fan.

Hilbert’s definitely my favorite, though Eiffel and Hera would also be contenders. I’m just fascinated by his story and how he’s managed to also be a significant part of so many other characters’ narratives as well (im. Unwell abt everything hes got going on with Lovelace. Yk.) Also I’ve been relistening to eps with my friend who introduced me to it and hearing his post-betrayal-reveal voice back to back with his goofy ass s1 voice is really funny. Why’d he do that.

[found--family]

i finally finished Bridgewater season 2!

(i know i'm way behind but i was listening on my drive to and from work but then i lost my job and suddenly listening at home felt weird but i binged the last handful of eps this long weekend so now i wanna share some thoughts..) 

best finale bits: 

- realising francine was spn alumn/battlestar galactica's tricia helfer (wish I'd realised this sooner bc i think i would've enjoyed her character more) 

- jeremy becoming an unexpected father to a time travelling kid he spent the whole season vocally not giving a shit about (serious s13!grieving!dean vibes here) 

- the setup for season 3! would love to get some pov from folks in the fae realm! 

best s2 bits: 

- aside from misha, soni has been my fave thing about this series (his voice acting is So Good) and this season we got more vippin and more of him interacting with other characters! 

- learning more about jeremy: he visited fairyland as a kid! he was a teen wiccan! he just wants a friend! he's happy without a partner and kids! (the phonecall to his british colleague was a fave scene) 

- peyton! wish we'd gotten more of her, hope she returns next season. 

- more hillary! she's not in it much but we got a few long scenes with her and it was great to hear her flex her voice acting chops. 

- tudyk! i was sceptical at first (i'd really been looking forward to fillion) but he was stellar. his distinct voice is perfect for voice acting and his vocal control and timing was really superb. his and misha's scenes were a highlight but there were also a few delightful and emotional scenes with other characters (including a makeover!) 

- MONSTERS. one of the huge draws of this podcast for me was the supernatural element. this season had a bunch of different creatures appear and there were mentions of way more that had me googling and learning so much (yay fic fodder!) 

a few s2 cons (imho): 

- this season is a lot compared to season 1. more characters, more plot, more at stake. it was hard to keep up with what was going on specifically with all the fae stuff. i had to relisten to numerous scenes multiple times to grasp what was happening.

- it kinda feels like season 1 was written not knowing how everything would play out bc all the fae stuff feels shoehorned into the relevant parts of the s1 narrative. they make it work but some explanations seemed like a bit of a stretch. 

- as much as i love her on-screen, i didn't really enjoy helfer in this. i don't know whether it's because i found her character annoying from the jump or if it was her vocal style being a little too overdramatic and on the nose (that could've been a director's decision in which case it makes sense, but i really didn't enjoy her personality as the legend tripper or her almost comical portrayal as fae) 

- the finale was a lot of exposition, and it got very convoluted with different characters wanting to sacrifice themselves over each other, and the whole fae deal thing was still unclear and confusing despite being explained. tbh i was bored for most of it. 

- the first 19 minutes of the finale was an uninterrupted convo between jeremy and francine. that's too long, it's half the damn episode. and francine was doing most of the talking (almost monologuing) and since she's the badguy of the season it felt like a poor choice (or maybe that's just my bias for not liking her portrayal?) 

- anne and thomas going through the portal made total sense and I'm glad that's what happened bc thomas was sick and anne had missed her life BUT that made all the arguments over who should go that much more pointless. the arguments felt like filler, going round in circles with people ignoring each other's sound reasoning. 

- there were quite a few noticeable editing mistakes this season: chopped dialogue poorly stitched together, misspoken words, and dead air that did nothing to set the tone but instead felt like they hadn't bothered fixing. 

closing thoughts: 

i preferred the mystery of season 1. this season was a lot of focus on the how's and why's of all the monster and fae stuff with character studies crammed between, whereas season 1 was more concise in the investigation and character focus and there was always room to wonder what was going on (i preferred that) but there was also room for the narrative to breathe; season 2 is crowded. it's a lot of fast dialogue and info dumping, a lot of characters - some interesting, some annoying, a few pointless. I'd listen again for clarity and enjoyment of particular scenes and dynamics, but more often than not i found myself confused, left with more questions than answers, and therefore not being able to enjoy the journey. there were definite high points, including the many monster cameos, but it lost that eery feel that season 1 did so well; this season felt like multiple genres rolled into one with all of them fighting for dominance - horror, fantasy, drama, mystery - whereas season 1 melded themes and genres effortlessly. season 2 also didn't have the emotional chords that season 1 played so beautifully (I'm looking at you, emotional jeremy realising his whole life was a lie) the finale should've been a tear-jerker, it wasn't. 

it's always hard to follow the success of a first season, especially when the second decides to explain all the mysteries season 1 set up - and given how season 1 ended there was a lot that needed explaining. unfortunately (for me) the story felt caught up in the details and yet it explained things without explaining things leaving me wanting for clarity that never came. often it didn't bother setting the tone (or an intriguing tone) and more characters meant less misha which is always disheartening. 

i'm looking forward to season 3 with papa!jeremy(?) and fae realm content (I'd love more fae) i just hope they can recapture the thematic feel of season 1 (it can be a different vibe but it has to permeate the narrative) and refocus on our main folk (jeremy, vippin, anne, thomas, olivia) instead of introducing too many new characters and elements that will steal more scene time.

dhole relistens to pasithea powder s1 teasers thru e2 (spoilers for a few later eps in the season)

s1 teasers:

the lettuce monologue. awful.

e2:

sophie's immediate reaction that is almost childlike and realizing they arent kids anymore. god i'd be one of those kids with weird hair fawning over u sorry sophie green anders li <3333 i love u anders li <33333333 girlboss sophie, drugging people with baking soda. fr me when janes vocal fry. im very gay! jane in the closet joke jane in the closet joke no one wants to see what they do out of the public eye! god knowing sophi doesnt believe her for another three episodes. :((( "what, no? what?

HGH. jane sounding like a giddy high school boy with "you got into a fight with alegros" i love her "or was he afraid to give his secrets away to the military?" heugauheugauegh jane's actual worry seeping in while she talks about her cover story ahagahagahgah. she has gone through so much i will say that "these two guards are working together" could just mean theyre both buds who wanted a cut of the funds but also jane definitely has experience with government conspiracies so i do get it! PEOPLE FROM THE SKY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME COLOR AS THEY ARE ON THE GROUND UNTIL THEY GET HIT BY WHATEVERS RAINING DOWN ON THEM AND THEN THEY ARENT ANYMORE. sophie you are SO full of guilt. hurgles. black bean burgers, are you making plans to kill yourself. i think the guy i was partnered with giggled the whole time i think i did too.

"Yes, obviously, I wanted to drain the bar. It's been a while since I did that and this was looking like the night for it. I was already thinking of how I could layer all that liquor. Sunsets and Blue Giants, so much color, and you don't even have to fly to ship to see it." <- most inconsequential line to make me insane AGENT CULLEN TIME! he is so mildly offputting in these next few episodes <3 sophie's voice cracks make me feel emotions fr. cullen time!!!!

[inyw21]

I'm bored on a Friday night so why not answer all these!! (It's a later date) (also I know actual plays aren't technically audio dramas, but for the sake of me being the person to answer this, they are) (think of it as just "podcasts"

1. What's the first audio drama you ever listened to? The Adventure Zone: Balance

2. What's a song you associate really strongly with a specific show? "Long Live" by Taylor Swift for Rusty Quill Gaming (thanks Bryn)

3. State some things you'd like to hear in the next show you listen to and let your follower recommend things to you. I'm not gonna do this cause most of my followers have suggested shows and I have a list a mile long.

4. What's your favorite completed show? Probably TAZ:B or TAZ:A (Amnesty)

5. Name a trope you like that's specific to audio drama. Not sure if it counts as a trope, but good sound effects.

6. What's your favourite audio drama ship? Tough one. Taako and Kravitz, Aubrey and Danny, and Zolf and Wilde.

7. What's your favorite piece of music from any show? Anything written by Griffin for TAZ and also "The Lament of the Phoenix" from The Amelia Project.

8. If you could have a crossover between any two shows, which would it be? I think The Amelia Project and TAZ Amnesty would be fun! Imagine the chaos.

9. What's your favorite character dynamic to write/listen to? Banter hands down. I love listening to and writing witty remarks.

10. Recommend a show! GIRL IN SPACE ONG PLEASE GO LISTEN TO IT. @girlinspacepodcast

11. What are you currently listening to? I'm currently listening to The Amelia Project and Dimension 20 Fantasy High S1.

12. If you could adapt any public domain work into an audio drama, what would it be? Hmmmm as much as I wasn't a huge fan of the book, I think Frankenstein would make for a fun podcast.

13. [ASKER CHOICE PODCAST] TV show fancast (funny or serious). I'm terrible at fancasts. The only thing I can picture is Alan Burgen playing his own character from Amelia.

14. Which audio drama would you most want to live in? Oh now that's tough, probably one lf the TAZ worlds.

15. Uno reverse! What's a question YOU want to ask everyone else about audio drama? What/who got you into them? For me it was my best friend who started TAZ on a whim and cackled as I caught up to them.

16. What's a role you heard an actor in, but almost didn't recognize them? Alan Burgen. I heard him first in @thekilda and heard him second in Amelia. Took an entire season for me to realize. (even though both shows list credits at the end of each ep)

17. Top fics [ASKED CHOOSES TOPIC] in audio drama. I'm gonna do top five finales.

1. TAZ Balance

2. TAZ Amnesty

3. S4 The Amelia Project

4. S4 The Magnus Archives

5. S3 Rusty Quill Gaming

18. Design an outfit for [ASKER CHOOSES CHARACTER]. I'm doing Alvina from Amelia. I think she would be dressed sensibly but comfortably. Jeans, t-shirt, sturdy shoes, that sort of thing.

19. Which podcast do you think would make a great TTRPG book? Amelia! Having to work out how to come up with elaborate schemes to fake deaths? So fun!

20. Which podcast character do you think would have their own podcast in an AU? Alvina again. She seems the industrious type. They're a lot of work!

21. Favorite audio drama sphere meme? Hands down the "no beta we kayak like Tim" AO3 tag.

22. Which episode of an audio drama do you think you've listened to the most? Hard to say since I don't really do individual eps on their own. I do full relistens. Probably the middle of RQG.

23. Why do you like audio drama as a medium? Because it's completely accessable to me (I know not to everyone and I'll bang pots and pans for propper transcripts right along side you)

24. What show are you most looking forward to that isn't out yet? I don't have one currently. I've dropped off the audio drama sphere a bit. I will say I'm looking forward to the rest of Amelia!!

If you made it this far, thanks for humoring me!

HELLO oh I am :eyes emoji: at every single thing on that list, your wips sound so. cool! absolutely dying to hear more about leverage ot3 amnesia ideas & juno steel and the case of the lost memories, whatever you are interesting in sharing <3

oh with JOY will i talk about these jade, with JOY!!

i'm gonna put this below a cut cause i'm gonna answer and give snips for both and it's gonna get LONG bc i Cannot Shut Up xox

for the leverage ot3 amnesia au i dont have a TON written, it was more just a collection of amnesia au ideas for all three of them that i was putting down so as not to forget them- i'm such a sucker for amnesia aus where the concrete memories are gone, but the sense memories and the gut instincts, and the muscle memory remains; and i think that trope carries over really interestingly to the leverage ot3-- parker who feels herself physically relaxed around these two strange men she doesn't know, eliot who instinctively lets these strangers touch him because some part inside of him he can't remember knows they won't hurt him, etc etc

i haven't written a ton of it, but i do have a dash of eliot pov i'll slide your way <33

Everything’s fuzzy. Eliot hates when things are fuzzy. He blinks against the crust in his eyes, but whatever room he’s in is clinically bright. His mouth is dry and his whole body is a single dull ache- heavy medication. Someone’s drugging him. In the back of his mind, Eliot’s furious about that; wants to rage until everything is burned out of his system and he can think clearly again, but he can’t remember why.  Why he’s- wherever he is. Why he hates mind-numbing medication so badly. Why he needs it in the first place.  The alarms in the back of his head are clanging- telling him, danger, threats, wake up, get up, fight your way out- but Eliot has to fight to open his eyes all the way.  He’s in a hospital. And- yeah, okay, that makes sense; even if it ignites the same anxious-angry pit in his stomach the meds do. Glaring halogen ceiling lights and clinical white walls and a softly beeping heart monitor and an IV plugged into his arm (he fights the urge to rip it out, if only for the moment) and- a man. Sitting in the chair next to him.

:)))) eliot pov my beloved....... i should write more leverage fic, huh?

and then SIMILARLY juno steel and the case of the missing memories is ALSO an amnesia au ksjvnskfjvnsfb

the concept was that at some point vaguely s3 on the carte blanche, juno gets a bad hit and loses all his memories of basically the plot of the show- so he can remember everything before the case of the murderous mask- but he doesn't remember anything with the kanagawas, or meeting nureyev, or the martian pill, or losing his eye, etc etc etc

so he wakes up on this ship- off mars for the first time in his life- still in a pre-s1 headspace, with only one eye and a bunch of people he doesn't know. and rita :)

tbh i only got like. a couple eps into s3 of junoverse and then never got caught back up (whoops) so like. idk what really happens during s3 and this fic was a big project in terms of like. going back to s1 juno characterization and foiling that against who s3 juno is and who s3 peter is, and how this kind of regression effects their relationship (or lack thereof, at the outset of the fic, bc they're not together yet) and while i did and do think it's really interesting, it was also like. a big thing to undertake and i got wary of like. characterizing juno effectively in it? and i wanted to slow roll him regaining his memories in bits and pieces and was having trouble pacing that effectively, and so it ended up on a back burner i never returned to </3 alas

but maybe someday when i finally go back and relisten to and catch up on tpp i'll go back and wirte more of it! in the mean time, have some snips:

He heard soft footsteps, almost silent, sliding across the hard floors of the ship behind him. Juno froze on instinct, senses sharpening to a knife’s point as he tried to focus on the steps over the blasting audio from Rita’s stream. If Rita noticed Juno stiffening, she didn’t say anything. Even though Rita had told him, again and again, that he could trust his fellow crew members aboard the Carte Blanche, that they were a family, Juno couldn’t shake the paranoia he’d known his whole life. He didn’t trust easy, he’d learned that the hard way over and over again as all the people he’d let into his life had betrayed or abandoned him. Except Rita. If he’d ever known how, Juno had long since forgotten how to be a part of a family, and this motley crew of criminals was no exception.  The footsteps neared, and Juno’s mind- as fuzzy and slow-moving as it still was, even three days after whatever accident he’d had- spun, trying to remember where the closest gun was, just in case. In his periphery, Juno saw the figure approaching. Tall, with taller hair and narrow shoulders- Ransom.  Some of the tension dropped from Juno’s shoulders. He still didn’t trust Ransom, there was something off about the guy, something about how he watched Juno and spoke so carefully around him that made Juno think he was hiding something. But there was something- a gut feeling Juno had about him. A deja vu kind of trust and comfort and uncertainty. Juno didn’t remember where it came from, but it was there. He trusted Ransom more than anyone else on the ship, other than Rita, even though that wasn’t saying much. Ransom came close enough to catch Juno’s eye. Raised his eyebrow in a silent question- the same one every person on the ship asked him every time they saw him: do you remember me yet? Juno shrugged, trying not to dislodge Rita too much. Ransom nodded, his expression never changing from the smooth, impassive mask he always wore. It itched at Juno, that impassivity. He wanted to know what was under it, wanted to know what Ransom was really thinking in that pretty head of his. The only people who were that careful and inscrutable were people with something to hide. Juno was a PI- he should know. As Ransom turned to walk away, Juno realized that the closest entrance to Ransom’s quarters was on his blind side. That he’d gone the long way around the ship to enter and exit within view of Juno’s periphery. Something uncertain and heavy and familiar squeezed in Juno’s stomach.

[i can't help another snippet, it's taking everythig i have not to give like three more on top of this, i forgot how good this au was skjfnvsfb sav from two years ago was crazy]

“Juno,” Ransom said, his voice infuriatingly even.  “Ransom-” that was the other thing. The other muscle-sense-memory bullshit that made Juno’s head ache. It felt- wrong, every time he called him Ransom. Every time Juno saw him, or thought about him or started to say his name, he had to correct himself, make himself say Ransom; instead of the other name he had rattling around in his head. He didn’t know where it came from, or why he associated it so strongly with Ransom, but Juno was ready to fucking know who Peter Nureyev was, and why he could’t stop thinking about him. Patience wasn’t ever a strong suit for Juno.  He bit the bullet. “Why do I have another name for you in my head, Ransom?” There. The flash of- of something, of emotion Juno had been waiting for. It was brief, something Juno might’ve missed if he hadn’t been looking so closely for any kind of reaction, but it was there. Shock, uncertainty, grief, flickered across Ransom’s face before settling back into his perpetual inscrutability.  “I’m sure I don’t know what you mean, Juno,” Ransom said, but there was a tremor, barely there, under his composed tone. Juno had shaken him, and he was going to get answers, damnit, come hell or high water. “Really?” Juno challenged, and he’d forgotten a lot, but he hadn’t forgotten this: the chase, the interrogation, cornering somebody into admitting and confessing and telling Juno what he wanted- what he needed- to hear. “Then who the hell is Peter Nureyev?” There it was again; the flickering, uncertain emotion, the disappearance of Ransom’s composure, the twist in Juno’s stomach that meant he was onto something.  “I- Juno, do you-” “No.” Ransom’s face fell, if infinitesimally. “I don’t- remember. Not really, but there’s… I don’t remember you, but I look at you and my brain says Nureyev, and I don’t fucking know why.”

:))) i just reread this whole wip- and it's almost 7k long- bc i didnt remember a lot of it and. oohohohoho. god. i was deranged.

thank you again for sending in this ask, jade!! sorry (not sorry) it got so long skjfvnksfjbn

send me the name of a wip off of this list and i'll reply with a snippet and/or my thoughts on it !!

[tsunderejon]

3, 4, 5, 10 & 12!

pretending like i didn’t ask u to send me numbers for this game

link to the questions

3. if you could bring back one dead character, who would you choose? 

HOW DO I CHOOSE FROM TIM, SASHA, AGNES, GERRY, ADELARD............though i think none of them would actually still want to be alive rn jdbsjfbdsjbvjdsvbdsv i will say tim just because i do believe that he and jon could have reconciled after the truth of what was really happening was revealed... obviously that was near impossible for jon to find out, so tim take that belief that it’s all jon’s fault to his grave. the tragedy of their friendship makes me 🤪 

4. favorite fear domain from s5?

i think the ones that stuck with me the most are the lonely, buried & the dark. the one that was most clever to me was the dark which i was not expecting at all bc it can be hit or miss on whether it’s actually scary or not. the lonely got me for Emotional™️ reasons and the buried for the poverty/upward social mobility commentary 

5. did you have any theories/predictions that ended up being hilariously wrong? 

NOT HILARIOUSLY...but i actually thought some of the avatars would want to reverse the apocalypse but then i remembered they’re all evil and jon is the only good one ever 

10. plot twist that surprised you the most?

i think the one which got me the most was the slow reveal of gertrude’s actual character because i REALLY bought into her just being useless at the start and could never had predicted how her story would intertwine with jon’s. we love narrative foils   

12. episode you've relistened to the most? (or alternatively if you're listening through for the first time: favorite episode so far?)

s1&s4 finales are the episodes i’ve relistened to the most... also 161,162, 168, 170 from this season. there are loads of random ones i’ve relistened to but mainly in s3 i think?? there are so many bangers in that season.....ep 111 especially. i’ve also been relistening to hilltop rd adjacent episodes for my tapes are the web theory 🕸

[prestonmonterey]

(i was like half asleep while listening to most of chnt but ill try my best)

theres obviously something going on with jedidiahs magic stuff. all the 'necromancy is impossible' being repeated so often. in the q and a livestream they also said that, so they were either trying to throw people off really hard, or it is actually impossible. also for the dnd stats, they said jedidiah was a wizard, but revealing his school of magic would be spoilers, so i assume that was either refering to the necromancy, or some kind of spoiler for the next season. on the qna stream tho i think they did say like animating the dead was possible (as shown by soren later, obviously) and that transferring someones soul into a different body was possible, but either would only result in a half life. so maybe the second one was part of it??

idk i really like the idea of physically not being able to tell someone something, whether thats because of a curse, because theyll die, because theyll forget, because the information resists being know ect. but its also so frustrating.

also im pretty sure up and adam will play a bigger role in s2, and i think the fact that he looks similar to jedidiah definitely means something.

uhh, idk whats going on with the like switching channels kinda thing that happens at the begining of each ep, or who the agents investigating stuff in the descriptions are. i think they said they werent the government tho? bc the government doesnt actively keep tabs on the camp, or something.

uhh, no idea whats up with jedidiahs dad. i assume if they explore more about sydneys death and stuff in season 2 that'll come up? cuz jedidiah said it was because of the information, which is really weird bc other than that one instance the journals didnt seem to have effect on people? and i really thought the dads death had something to do with trains? bc they were like a reaccuring thing in the story.

i feel like the centipede and the very ending sentences are symbolism, but i dont know what. i think if i relisten to it i might come up with some more ideas?

uhh, also i dont think its confirmed when sydney gets cursed, and im not sure if that relates to all of his childhood things?? bc jedidiah mentions that he was born in not a great situation, but also it makes sense for a kid to be malnourished if he can literally only eat bread and butter. (also ik its like a joke thing but why does sydney know how to cook so well if he cant eat it? maybe thats evidence that he was cursed as an adult? idk)

oh also i noticed that the dates in the descriptions are in like the 900s? which makes me think that there was some important event that happened ig like less than 3 years before s1. maybe sydneys death? if thats what theyre monitoring? im not sure. but there are cannon dates so i guess i could try to trace it back..

ok so based on the date jedidiah says in ep 17 and the day in that description i got

Thursday, November 1, 2018

and after like the breifest google search possible it didnt seem like anything major happened in real life. so im guessing its important to canon.

wait i just remembered theres dates on jedidiahs journal entries. lemme check that.

ok that seems to actually line up with the entries! the "turn it off and back on again" one was written oct 2, and then the last one read on oct 21, and then elijah read the date for oct 30, but didnt read the entry. so i think im right! that means whatever group found these recordings is investigating sydney in particular.

also just noticed this line which is interesting. its a transformative ritual, not necromancy, which seems to support my other theory about jedidiah? idk i tried looking into more dnd stuff, but transmutation spells dont seem to follow that much of a pattern, as far as i can tell.

oh oh oh! for some reason, animate object is classified as a transmutation, while animate dead is categorized as necromancy. this feels like an important like (ik the dnd stuff was prolly like a 1 off joke thing but its one of my silly interests so let me be)

so i think this kind of points to jedidiah like putting sydneys sould into a different object??? (also idk if its related but sydneys like always in pain and i dont think thats explained a lot so...idk)
