#Love and luck

[crystallilytarot]

I want to send love and luck to everybody. And I want it to be like if someone interact with this post, me and everybody send good vibes to that person, and that person also send good vibes to everybody else. You don't need to do anything else, just think about it for a moment while you like or reblog this post. And that way I hope we all have a good end of the year, and a very good new beginning in the new year.

Hey!!! You commented on my post about limetown haha which is why I’m here. You offered to give podcast recs! What are your favorites?? I’m looking for some new ones

I completely forgot I had this ask, excuse the delay. Here's a selection of 30 podcasts I enjoyed from a broad range of genres: hopefully at least one appeals.

Let me know if you're after something more specific.

Arden: (Investigative, Comedy) On the 25th of December, 2007, heiress and young actress Julie Capsom crashed her car into a tree and fled into a nearby forest clearing, leaving a trail that seemingly vanished into thin air, and a dismembered torso in the trunk. A decade later, Bea, the first reporter on the scene, and Brenda, a detective on the case, are hosting a true crime podcast about it, and neither is remotely impressed with what the other has to say. Arden is also a retelling of various Shakespeare plays.

Desperado: (Supernatural, Adventure, Horror Elements) In a modern world of gods and magic, three young people, all under the patronage of death dieties, embark on the same adventure for different reasons: for safety, for revenge, and to kill The Old Man in the Sky. Fantastic banter and killer action sequences.

The Far Meridian: (Magical Realism) An agoraphobic young woman wakes one day to discover her lighthouse home has travelled to somewhere entirely unfamilar. As this continues to happen day after day, she uses the opportunity to search for her missing brother. A really unique and charming piece of fiction.

Gastronaut: (Sci-Fi) Interstellar travel audio blog of a former food critic as he travels to an active warzone to get firsthand experience with unfamilar cuisine. ft. Disgruntled martian nobility, sinister businessmen, explosive mushrooms, forbidden snacks, rogue revolutionary artists, and the consequences of your actions.

Girl in Space: (Sci-Fi) The Girl In Space lives alone on a space station, doing science, making cheese, rewatching Jurassic Park, and tending to the plants, animals, and artificial sun entrusted to her. It's a little lonely, but not a bad life. Would be a shame if someone came along to ruin it.

The Goblet Wire: (Microfiction, Weird Fiction) A surreal microfiction with horror elements, taking the form of phone calls to an audio-based game in which the voice of the mysterious Dictator leads each player through fantastic and horrific world and story.

Hello From The Hallowoods: (Horror, Supernatural) A dramatic entity beyond your comprehension visits your nightmares to tell stories of the people (in varying degrees of human and alive) that inhabit the strange, deadly, and beautiful Hallowoods, as they find meaning and sometimes eachother.

Hi Nay: (Supernatural Horror) A year after moving to Toronto, sound designer Mari finds herself drawn into helping people around the city with various horrific supernatural encounters due to her babaylan (shaman) family background. It quickly becomes apparent that there's something much more sinister and complicated happening in the background.

Inco: (Microfiction, Sci-Fi) A perpetually exausted interstellar information trader and her peppy AI find a mysterious (read: bratty) boy floating in space and are inadventently pulled into a world political intrigue.

Inn Between: (Fantasy) Ever curious about what the D&D characters get up to at the tavern between sessions? A generally lighter-hearted (with some exceptions) with richly-written and always-growing characters. A really interesting format, too: a lot of the adventure appears in the "next time" and "last time" segments which makes it all flow really nicely. Not a tabletop podcast.

Janus Descending: (Sci-Fi, Horror, Tragedy) A xenoarcheologist and a xenopaleontologist are sent to a study a dead city on a distant world. Nobody likes what they find there. A unique format, with one set of logs presented first to last, and the other last to first. I'd recommend listening to the supercut for this one.

The Kingmaker Histories: (Steampunk, Weird Fiction, Adventure, Fantasy Elements) In the Valorian Socialist Republic 1911, on her 25th birthday, tailor's apprentice Colette experienced the worst headache of her life. As a result, she fleed from town with a human artificer and a fae chef - both now smugglers - pursued by an utterly furious flesh-crafter. I'm not sure I'm selling how good this podcast is but it's very good.

Life With Althaar: (Sci-Fi, Comedy) A human repairman moves to a space station on the edge of human territory that is perpetually on the edge of self-destruction, and ends up with a less-than-ideal last-minute roomate. Althaar is polite, friendly, deeply interested in human culture, and eager to be friends. Unfortunately he belongs to a species that sends humans into a visceral panic at a glance.

Lost Terminal: (Sci-Fi, Hopepunk) Seth is a very lonely AI living on a satellite. His crew were left stranded aboard with no hope of return, and it's been longer than he can count since then. The Earth below him has changed dramatically, and with only a few other AI down there to talk to, he's very lonely. But! He has a plan to make some new friends.

Love and Luck: (Romance, Slice-of-Life and Urban Fantasy Elements) Voice messages cataloguing two young men falling in love and opening a queer dry bar together.

Midnight Radio: (Light Supernatural, Romance) Sybil McIntyre, host of the ever-popular 1950's nightly radio hour, begins exchanging letters with an old fan who has reluctantly returned to visit Sybil's beloved town.

Midst: (Weird Fiction, Western, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Elements) The old-western planetoid islet of Midst floats, rotating steadily, in a sea of reality-warping darkness. Down in the town of Stationary Hill, things are in movement, and vistors from the light above are about to bring unanticipated change. ft a monocycle-riding monster-hunter, radio-famous airship paladins, deadly mica, the universe's peppiest cultist, good dogs, and a really strange businessman.

The Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality: (Weird Fiction, Supernatural, Urban Fantasy and Horror Elements) A friendly AI tour guide leads you on a tour of the Mistholme Museum, explaining the strange and often alternatural story behind each item.

Monstrous Agonies: (Supernatural, Relationship Advice) An interpersonal advice show for supernatural entities and other people living liminally in the modern world.

Night Shift: (Urban Fantasy, Investigative) Set in a modern world with the addition of magic, which manifests in small inherited skills/traits, can warp people in horrific ways, or can be manipulated with the right science (and intense work) to induce superpowers. Sebastian Fenn is a barista at Night Shift Coffee, but since things are slow he's decided to start a podcast to talk about various mysteries, crimes and conspiracies around the city, and of course finds himself deeper in them than he'd intended.

The Pasithea Powder: (Sci-Fi, Thriller Elements? I think?) The last major interplanetary war was full of atrocities, but none more infamous then the creation of Pasithea Powder, a memory altering drug which was used to horrible effect and landed it's entire team of creators in prison. So when decorated war hero Captain Sophie Green sees one of them wandering free, worlds away from his prison, she gets in touch with a very old, estranged friend: one Dr. Jane Gonzalez, who's behind bars for the very same reason.

SCP: Find Us Alive: (Weird Fiction, Supernatural, Horror and Slice-of-Life elements) You don't need to know anything about SCP to enjoy this. A research team gets trapped in an underground research facility when the complex collapses and the building is dragged into a pocket dimension. The tear it was designed to study begins creating tiny copies of itself, generating strange entities the team needs to deal with. And as if that wasn't enough, the entire situation physically resets itself every 30 days. And yet, this is genuinely also an office comedy.

Second Star to the Left: (Sci-Fi) Audio logs of a scout sent to explore and establish early infastructure new world, and the communications with the minder in charge of keeping her alive.

Seen and Not Heard: (Slice-of-Life, Drama) Seen and Not Heard follows Bet, who's still adjusting to life a year after a bout of severe illness, and the resulting hearing loss it caused. It's about the ways we make connection, and food, and art, and different kinds of grief.

The Silt Verses: (Horror) In a modern world where gods are abundant, frequently both commercialised and restricted, two devotees of an outlawed river god go on a pilgrimage.

SINKHOLE: (Sci-Fi, Weird Fiction) Forum posts from a data restoration community in a near future where the human brain is its own computer and one city hosts a massive void.

Starfall: (Fantasy) Seeking to escape her mysterious past and find some purpose, a young swordswoman joins a travelling actor's troupe. This new life is unfamilar and sometimes stressful, but she's taken under the wing of stagehand Fel, who's determined to help her feel welcome as she experiences the figurative and literal magic of the theatre for the first time.

The Tower: (Weird Fiction) A low-key, meditative podcasy about a young woman who decides to climb a seemingly endless tower. Gorgeous sound design.

The Vesta Clinic: (Sci-Fi) New GP Dr. Fae Underwood, with the expert transcription skills of resident AI Sec, writes up patient reports on human and alien patients of The Vesta Clinic, a medical clinic on the edge of human space. Really comfy and creative.

Victoriocity: (Steampunk, Mystery) Set in the steam-powered Victorian city of Even Greater London, an aspiring journalist and a tired detective find themselves working together to solve a strange murder. I say Victorian but as queen Victoria is now an extensive grandiocity of cyborg components following seven only-kind-of-successful assassinations, you may need to adjust expectations a little.

I heard someone say recently that Forgive Me! crosses over with everything in existence but have you seen The Amelia Project’s rap sheet?

[sarosenna]

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

To mark the occasion, here is my second installment of Audio Fiction I Love, where I explore the stories I keep on coming back to. This show is especially close to my heart, because it’s in my home. @loveandluckpodcast by Passer Vulpes Productions shows queer love for the joyful, healing and courageous power that it is – and it’s set in St Kilda in Naarm.

Here’s the show description:

Love and Luck is a fictional radio play podcast, told via voicemails and set in present day Melbourne, Australia.  A slice of life queer romance story with a touch of magic, it follows the relationship between two men, Jason and Kane, as their love grows both for each other and their community.

For my Naarm friends, this one’s especially for you!

You can also read my first Audio Fiction I Love article on Null/Void here.

Hey hey, don’t cry, Kane and Jason from Love and Luck podcast, ok?

design notes under the cut <3

Kane:

- hes my favorite bc hes just like me Fr <3 anxiety ridden trans bi man with a thing for loud men <3

- also he’s a bear and I adore bears so obviously I had to make him unimaginably hot. At least to my artistic abilities.

- idk when I decided that he was aboriginal, but in my heart it’s real and true ❤️ hope this helps

- he’s described as looking a lot like his mother, and Julie is said to have black coily hair <3

- in my heart he’s had no surgeries, occasionally binds or packs, but usually he’s just lettin it hang <3 Im using him to live out my trans fantasies just let me HAVE THIS

- he’s called Papa Bear for a REASON. He dresses like a FATHER. I will not take any criticism on this, he wears KHAKI CARGO SHORTS and NEW BALANCES.

- the white strands in his hair are just a quirk of having hair as dark as his, but he blames it on the kids <3 (he also blames it on the kids leaving though, he can’t ever make up his mind <3)

- i like to think he’s taller than Kane, but slouches so much that people genuinely forget he’s like. 6ft tall. Big fuck 👍🏻 no truck 👎🏻

- i also hc that he’s always touching Jason <3 not in like an overly affectionate pda kinda way, but just. Pressing up against him while they’re behind the bar, or holding hands while they chat, or a hand on his waist while they’re on the train together <3 just gentle touches, bc he’s in love and needs to touch his man CONSTANTLY.

Jason:

- he says in the first couple episodes that he’s very visually queer, so I took that and sprinted with it <3

- even if he isn’t visually a punk, his attitude and radical acceptance is so punk rock and I just <3 I refuse to believe otherwise (I’m a punk and this is me again living through a character)

- they absolutely at least tried to make at least one custom Best of Luck Bar patch, but then the embroidery got too much, so Jason just painted on ‘love and luck’ <3

- i feel like he’s beefy, but it’s a CRAZY sleeper build. Fucking coma build. Looks like a skinny lanky fuck till you ask him to arm wrestle and he knocks you out in 4 picoseconds

- i feel like he’s less touchy feely in public, but he’s strapped to Kane’s back in private <3

- i also feel like he’s the local magpie. The kids bring him shiny things and he goes Oh!!!! And before he even knows it it’s in his pocket. And soon enough in a little container that Kane uses to collect his trinkets while he’s doing laundry ❤️

- in my heart he wears a rope with knots on it from Kane <3 for safety <3 and also good vibes and love

[justablah56]

hey guys remember when I said I might start love and luck posting

Kane my beloved <33333 I'm probably gonna keep working on my design for him , but for now I'm alright w this

[adrie-75014]

crying at every single audio drama because queer love stories like this weren’t available to me when I was young and I’m just SO happy for the current generation and so grateful for these creators.

(also, fuck the rightwing fuckheads on your school boards!! we’ll beat ‘em back, I promise. if the adults in your life don’t support you, know that I do and every single person in my life does too)

SHOWS OUR CHARACTERS WOULD LISTEN TO 2. CHARLIE KING

@loveandluckpodcast It's going to become pretty obvious with this list that Charlie's a hopeless romantic so I thought I'd start off with the well loved classic - it explains itself. @thebrightsessions specifically an avid relistener of the college tapes, and has soul mate theories about adam and caleb. @mabelpodcast because nobodies podcast range is complete without morally grey lesbians

[passerkirbius]

You might not know his name, but if you've been listening to fiction podcasts, you've almost definitely heard his work. Erin Kyan is a transman artist in Melbourne, Australia, and you may well have heard the show he wrote, produced and co-starred in, Love and Luck. You might also have heard some of his other work, having co-wrote and co-produced Nym's Nebulous Notions and Floodlight Viscera, as well as a whole bunch of acting credits to his name, on shows such as Interference, The Nuclear Solution, Mars' Best Brisket, or you might have heard his writing on the Someone Dies in This Elevator episode Hot Wheels, as well as a bunch more appearances in other podcasts as well.

He's done a lot, is what I'm saying.

Erin came out as trans 20 years ago, and unsurprisingly, trans health care in Australia wasn't particularly great for fat trans men at the time, and has spent a long time being unable to get the care he needs. But 20 years is a long time, and things are changing - not only are the gatekeepers no longer there to stop him, but there are surgeons willing to do top surgery, even on fat people like Erin - the surgery date is even booked!

Of course, even in Australia, this kind of surgery costs a lot - It's not on Medicare, you need to go Private. And so, like so many others, he's opening himself up to the generosity of others to help cover at least some of the costs of this surgery.

So, if you would like to give back to an amazing trans man within the fiction podcast world, and you have the capacity to do so (he's very clear about this - if you're making less than $40K a year, you need that money more than he does), Please considering donating to his surgery fund. Even if it's just a little bit, every bit helps.

And if you can't? Reblogging this so that as many people as possible can see it would be a wonderful thing.

[haveyouheardthispodcast]

propaganda under the cut

magical realism + a super cute gay couple open an LGBT community bar

[littleacebee]

One of the things I extremely love about Love and Luck it’s how we don’t have spelled out people’s identities. They simply show up and everyone gets that they are queer. No one has to prove they are Queer TM by saying their exact sexuality or gender. And in the world when so many people feel like they are entitled to know every aspect of your identity, it’s so so so nice to see.

[youaremysunshine-court]

😌- comfort podcast

Ooh good one!

I don't really have one, but I do cycle through three comfort podcasts:

- folxlore is high up on my comfort list bc it's so lovely to be sad and have someone like,,, validate that? Or be going through it themself??

- love and luck is also something I go back to when I'm feeling down, there's just something so beautiful about these two queer people creating a safe space for everyone else in their community idk it gives me hope

- last but not least, me and au is a frikking cute one shot podcast when you're feeling down istg the number of times I've binge relistened to it and just felt my burdens lift, it's amazing

Thanks for the ask!!♡

[podrambling]

Went on a walk and listened to ~2 episodes of love and luck and episode ten of where the stars fell and just ugh relationship goals from both.

Ughhh I can’t figure out how to do the read more banner on mobile so just going to hope anyone who braves the tags doesn’t mind spoilers for now😭😭 if anyone wanted to dm me how to do it I would be eternally indebted😔

Jason and Kane are just wonderful and just try so hard to handle everything right and help everyone and help each other and just don’t hesitate to help out the community and yes I love them so much!

And in where the stars fell Lucy and Ed may argue but they are completely open with each other? I don’t know how to describe it but despite their relationship being dysfunctional at best in some ways they definitely communicate with each other and come to an accord and are thus despite everything relationship goals!

Got ambushed by Tal Minear in the where the stars fell episode because no one can ever go a week without jumping because Rion is once again going universe travelling lol. I love that function of audiodrama, how you hear the prolific voice actors again and again.

Also got ambushed by an ad for the night post which is a pretty big coincidence considering what else I’m listening to at the moment lol😅

All the other mortals in where the stars fell are not having a good day and Gabe just couldn’t give less of a fuck in a please let someone else come take over I want to go home and become a slug sort of way.

I love thé themetunes on love and luck and where the stars fell too!!
