putting the funn in funerals

[michaelmylove]

as an avid TMA fan hearing Rudyard described as an archivist gave me whiplash and a whole new fear

[average-acorn]

I... (i loved you from the first syllable) Oh I wish we could've... (i love you antigone) gone out for coffee or something. (you're life and i'm leaving you) The two of us... (no one knew the answer to this silly old world and i found it in your voice) Together. (antigone, are you there? please antigone, are you there?)

Happy Audio Drama Sunday! I listened to a few things this week (gushing and spoilers ahead):

@woodenovercoats S4: You know it's going to be a good season when it's already got me tearing up in the third episode! Madeline and her family!! 😭 Madeline and Rudyard besties! 🥰 I absolutely loved seeing Antigone continue to grow this season. She just wanted to be seen, to know she was strong enough to be seen, and she was!! We also got to hear Rudyard give more time to his life outside the funeral home, particularly his special interest in history! We finally got Chapman's backstory! Heartbreaking though. 💔 Holy shit that sound design when Chapman and Rudyard go over the falls was *chef's kiss*. My first thought re: the Funns running Chapman's was "Oh lord, how is Rudyard going to F this up?" It was really nice to hear them actually properly put on a funeral like we knew they could. Throughout the season, we heard Eric and Antigone grow closer and some feelings start to develop there. Then hearing Eric calling out for Antigone in his dream was...whew. "Sorry about the chloroform." 😂 Georgie's cycle of grief is so real. It hits you at the most unexpected moments. They're a town!!!! And of course he came back, he's home!!!!! This ending is so perfect, so absolutely satisfying. This show was incredible ♥️

@midstpodcast S1: I've been seeing so much about this show in my feed lately as its third and final season released, so I just had to jump into it. And wow am I hooked! The way the narrators share the story and the character voices between them is fascinating. The world building is absolutely incredible - the visual they painted of the fold sweeping through is just chilling. Combine that with the actual visual elements created by the podcast, seen in the YouTube videos...so so cool. Side note - I hate the Trust; the way that its systems ensure that those at the bottom are kept down, rewarding those already at the top...kudos to another podcast where one of the villains is capitalism. In any case, I was so absorbed in the stories of each of the three protagonists, trying to see ahead to how their lives would intersect, I almost forgot about the very first scene! The moon falls out of the sky!! Absolutely wild!! I'm very much looking forward to learning more about the consequences of this and the impact on Midst.

@midnightburgr Welcome to the Horizon Part 3 - The Wayfaring Stranger: God I love this town and these people. I laughed out loud so many times this episode! Frank and June's reactions to Verge's background are hilarious. I'm so glad we have Verge in this mini-series. It's also so fun to hear them flirting with Deirdre, especially after hearing their VAs as not so friendly in Moonbase Theta, Out (love you Cat and Tina). The news that we get from Trinkett about the comet is verrry interesting and concerning, so looking forward to seeing where that goes.

@tellnotalespod S1 & S2 (to date) re-listen: TNT is currently on their mid season break, so I re-listened to everything that's been released so far. I said earlier this season that it was going to be tough listening to all the S2 episodes in a row since many of them made me cry individually...and I was right! 😭 I am so looking forward to the rest of S2, and I really hope Leo, Riley and Julia all get the hugs they need, preferably from each other.

@storiesfromylelmore Winter Solstice crowdfunding episode: I love hearing the kids out and up to their shenanigans! It was also really sweet to get a glimpse of the parents doing their thing, but also loving all the kids (even though Elas can sometimes be puce). I also loved hearing more about their world's Winter Solstice story! The worldbuilding is so fantastic.

@hinaypod Episode 41 - Danny Boy (Pride Episode 2024): I'm glad I listened to this one during the day because I definitely would have gotten creeped out by some of the curse's descriptions if I'd listened at 2AM, as I sometimes do. We got quite lore dump on our favourite horrible old man, but I still have so many questions!!

nothing like relistening to the wovercoats finale to make you go a bit crazy huh

[faithful-grigori]

”#this is like. THE gimmick of s1 wooden overcoats, #the easier pitch is 'rival funeral homes' bc 1) simple 2) better description of the show as a whole, #but s1 is just constantly hearing about bizarre deaths and knowing theres a billion funerals daily on this tiny island, #but bc of the genre YOU think its in it doesnt tend to register as Important until someone says 'hey i think theres a murderer around'”

currently obsessed with british murder mystery tv shows where all the murders happen in the same town in every episode and everyone's just like oh yep there goes another one, just another day in shirefordtonstead

[ducessaeva]

(i’ll do anything. just five more minutes)

[michaelmylove]

hey I thought wooden overcoats was a fucking comedy so why am I in the middle of class trying not to bawl my eyes out huh. explain that

[lesbian-jack-barnabas]

I’m so sorry but the only other thing I know Beth Eyre from is Wooden Overcoats, so until we learn otherwise I believe that Sam and Alice accidentally released Antigone Funn onto the world from her archival prison

[faithful-grigori]

”#they bicker all the time but they really do care about each other”

thinking about how Antigone mentioned that the only nice thing anyone had ever done for her was her father giving her an extra sprout at Christmas dinner once and how Rudyard made sure that Antigone got extra sprouts during the Christmas episode

[dwarvendiaries]

Realised [ERROR] is played by Beth Eyre and now I can only imagine Antigone Funn with extra eyes and a tape recorder

[fyeahaudiodrama]

oh…

[cirrus-grey]

Introducing Beth Eyre as [Error]

Wait, what?? Meat pit lady???

[faithful-grigori]

”#eric chapman with his dark roots and blond hair, #yeah I’ve been thinking about it#such a good headcanon”

I am a firm “Eric Chapman is not blond” believer, however there is one way I could accept blond Chapman - if he dyes his hair blond. And this headcanon is irreversibly connected with THE Eric scene: “you look devastated” “Of course we do, it’s a funeral”. Imagine Eric looking like wet cat runs to the graveyard and has visible darker roots because he didn’t have how to dye them and that scene happens. Oh, it’s amazing image.

ANTIGONE FUNN!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[spotforme]

here's how i imagine they look like for some reason:

Seymour Prophitt: Ace, the smug face and the wig, everything, just Ace. this is so vivid it's hard to explain

Eric Chapman: wears a short top hat and fancy white gloves, sometimes one white one black when he wats to be whimsical. the hat is worn like Kochanski's, it's almost falling off the back because he wants to show off his front hairs

Antigone Funn: has an emo colour streak in her bangs and a heavily modified and stylised utility belt where a belt is supposed to be but also on her bisebs infused with her clothes where more little things can be stored

Rugyad Funn: wears a very thich green gingham scarf and big boots because it rains everywhere he goes, like colourful rain boots or Lister-like big black ones with a bunch of buckles

Georie Crusoe: wears the Georgina dress like a ghosts. it's torn on the bottom, a little bit dirty from work and clearly worn

the mayor is just the pringles man in human form
