#all the podcasts

[anouchard]

Okie dokie, Tumblr.

I am ill. I am tired. I am taking this weekend slowly so that I am hopefully less of both of those things by Monday.

I am therefore asking you, in all sincerity ...

... do you have any podcast recommendations for me, please?

(I mean it. The only podcast I have listened to in any depth is Magnus, which, in the loveliest way possible, feels a bit too meta and tied up with my work to be the escapism it was a few years back. But more of that kinda thing pls and thanks. ❤️)

Edit: I made this mistake on Twitter too.

I expected maybe two replies. I forgot who I was addressing. You're all great and I am a fool.

I am currently working my way through and creating a list. Pls bear with. 👁

Further edit: Thank youuuuu 🎉

I have started with @malevolentcast.

So far, we have a sassy entity, a spooky book, and possibly a murder.

All of these are things I enjoy writing about. Maybe I lean towards cosmic horror more than I thought (what a surprise).

Great vibes so far. Thanks all!

(I'm also going to start RQG, because why not. And while all that is happening ... listsssss. 👁)

I don't think we give Jonathan Harker nearly enough credit for his absolutely unhinged choices. In 1897, that pathetic wet cat of a man was written with enough grit, willpower, and raw human stupidity to rival any of our modern horror podcast protagonists. When faced with a centuries-old vampire, in a coffin, drenched in fresh blood, he really thought the best thing to do was to hit it in the face WITH A SHOVEL. The audacity. The misplaced confidence. The sheer desperation. No plan. No hesitation. Running on fear and spite alone. And i fucking love him for it. Truly the character of all time.

Read a cute and funny fanfic about Halloween office party which gave me this idea lol

John didn’t even try, his first idea was to put a sticker “NotJohn” but then figured out it might be in poor taste

[wojtekaneko]

That's how it went

[othemisto]

Tumblr exists. Doodles below cut :P

Sketching while streaming s5...

Jonathan Sims I will learn to draw you (this is my doing. I could draw him however I want and I choose to stick with an image of him in my brain that is difficult for me to draw. Masochism.)

Not s5 Mahtins below I enjoyed drawing cuz hes neat:

(Edit: I yassified Martin in the do not separate cuz I wanted his hair fluffier)

[crazycatmilo]

We don’t talk enough about how Martin was likely mostly running the institute by himself (cuz Peter probably wasn’t all that helpful, Martin for sure never wants to see a spreadsheet again) while in a depressive episode AND manipulating Peter to make him think he’s on his side. Like holy fuck bro. It pisses me off when people act like he’s dumb because did we listen to the same show??

So. I just finished The Magnus Archives.

You’re telling me that Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, began his journey from such a place of uncertainty and desperation to prove himself worthy of the title, and ended as the embodiment of everything that tormented him?

You’re telling me that Martin Blackwood, who held so much love for the people around him, unintentionally paved the way for his lover’s desperate martyrdom?

You’re telling me Jon was marked for this from childhood, manipulated by forces older and greater than civilization to bring such harm upon the world that the only solution he could see was to end it?

You’re telling me there was no escape for them?

You’re telling me they could have lived happily together, but they could never have taken that path because it lies contrary to who they are?

You’re telling me Jon and Martin had everything and everyone slowly and agonizingly ripped away from them until they had nothing left but each other, until neither one could fathom surviving without the other?

You’re telling me that Martin and Jon kissed at the center of a collapsing reality, then Martin felt the life leave Jon’s body as he stabbed the only living person he loved?

You’re telling me there is a chance they are Somewhere Else, but that would mean they never escaped the Fears and never will?

You’RE TELLING ME-
