Honestly i love the reframing of "liar, liar" when you hear natalies side of the story. Not a huge thing, but when I think back on the episode i can then hear some of her fears over being asexual. Like, her insistence on needing her girlfriend to know she does love her, that what she feels is love, that it is genuine even if she is ace, knowing those were natalies fears colors her dialogue all the more.
Also i just like how worries of natalie being asexual were all... a bit in her own head? Like, not that that shit cant happen to ace people, but i did like how it showed how we can internalize so many reasons for stuff because of what society teaches us, that we also become our own worst enemies. That is a feature of oppression, that we are also made to notice and feel afraid and bad about our own identities.

A lot of horror podcast titles follow patterns:
--Hello From The Hallowoods vs Welcome to Nightvale
--The Sheridan Tapes vs The Cellar Letters vs The Magnus Archives vs The Night Post vs The Author's Anathema vs The Aberrant Report
--Archive 81 vs Wolf 359
But I've also noticed our covers are all surprisingly different...

Do you like horror? Do you like queer media?
Then check out The Author’s Anathema! We are a small, queer led sapphic horror podcast about a young woman hired to narrate an audiobook for a mysterious novel written by an anonymous author (and assisted by her intelligent girlfriend). The main character is an asexual lesbian and her girlfriend is bisexual!
We are halfway through Season 1, and you can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and other platforms.

i’m finally getting around to listening to ‘Author’s Anathema’ and the gradual escalation in episode 2 is delightful “I’d like to see the anatomy books” --> ok, understandable, have a nice day “i’d like to see the romance books” --> i mean i saw how you treated the anatomy ones but maybe they weren’t your style “i’d like to see the pregnancy books” --> UH OH UH OH UH OH

Crisis Control
The second part of the new series with @kruk-art‘s Awan!
 Anathema visits Awan! 
Spoilers ahead!
______________________________
The tweezers slide off your hand at the last moment, and you can smell the burnt electronics as the device dies once more.
“Shit!” you say slamming your fist against the wall.
It’s your third attempt, and it ended up just like the first two. The scrambler you’re working on should throw Void’s targeting systems off if you ever get it to work. That could give you an edge, you’re tired of his perfect aim...
“Mrreeewww” Pidgeon says rubbing against you.
You pet him absently, instantly feeling a bit calmer… the simplicity of his mind is soothing. It’s very complex work, and you’re not a specialist, but you’ll get it working, doesn’t matter if it takes one or twenty attempts.
You can do this…
“Hungry Pidgeon? Let’s get you some food… and then we’re going to work the hell out of this thing”
After attempt number seven, it finally works, and you fall on the bed exhausted, Pidgeon climbing over your arm and falling asleep, with you soon following. 
_______several hours later__________
“Let me out! I don’t like this!” You yell desperately.
“Don’t be so dramatic!” Nathaniel says, his arms crossed, from the other side of the glass on your chamber
“But it stings!” you say looking at the industrial shower nozzles above you. “Water pressure is insane on that thing and the chemicals...” 
“It’s just a regular procedure! Your skin is still adjusting to being out of your pod!” 
“You haven’t ever done this before! You don’t know how it is!” You’ve done this dozen of times now...
He sighs.
“You’re just being one big child. You’ll get used to it!” 
“I’d want to see you get used to it!!” you challenge him
“Oh, you would like that, you little runt? Well, I’m going to show you!” he says starting to take his clothes off.
“Nat, I’m not sure you should do that...” the operator starts...
“Shut it, Jeff. I’m going to show my doll how much of a whiner he is!”
“Alright... Suit yourself. You show him who’s boss” Jeff smiles. 
“I know you’re the boss Nath, I just want to get out! This isn’t... Aaaahhh!!” you yell as the pressurized water starts running down, piercing you like daggers. The chemicals get into your eyes and it burns like fire. This is hell...
“Oh come on! It’s not that bad!” he says standing in his underwear in front of you. 
“Let me show you,” he says entering the adjacent chamber. “Hit me, Jeff!”
“Alright!”  
“You’re always complaining about everything!. This is just a bit of water and... Ghaaa!!!” he screams as water starts running on his own chamber too, the excessive pressure pushing him to the floor.
Jeff just giggles as you bot keep banging on against the glass doors. There’s no release to be had until the cycle’s complete.
 ________________________________ 
Banging on the door…
You cover yourself with the sheets
“Hello?” someone asks.
“Wha…” you asks opening your eyes and coming out of the dream.
“Anyone home?” the familiar voice says.
You know who he is even before your powers pick up the mind behind the door.
Anathema.
“I’m coming!”
“Pidgeon… sorry, time to move” you say putting the cat down. “Why is he here?” you wonder getting some pants on and walking to the door.
“Awan are you in here?” more banging
“IM COMING!” you say as you hurry for the door.
Open it up, just a bit, with the chain latch on. It could still be some kind of trap… you never know.
“Hey!” he says looking at you through the small opening. “Came to check on you.”
Friendly smile, check. Plausible reasons for showing up unannounced, check. 
Genuine concern, check. Darn. He’s already scored 3 points ahead of you.
“Hi,” you say almost reluctantly. “I’m fine”
“Ortega told me you got shot.”
“Yes, but I got better”
“Uhu,” he nods. He’s clearly not buying it.
“Yeah. It was nothing really”
“He told me it was two shots to the chest”
“He’s being dramatic”
“And then you ran away having some sort of breakdown”
“He’s exaggerating. It was late so I came home.”
“Well I’m glad to hear that”
“Good”
“I mean you’d tell me if things weren’t ok, right?”
“Obviously” you lie.
“But nothing’s wrong”
“Nope”
“Perfect. So can I come in?”
“Why?”
“Because I’m your friend?”
“We can be friends from here”
“I did invite you to my place… and I paid for your dessert last time… and it was a big one”
“You did…” It was one big expensive ice-cream, you have to admit.
“So you owe me”
“ … “
“Open the door Awan”
“Uh… Do I have to?”
“Yes, unless you want to have a puddle of acid instead of a door.”
“But I told you I'm fine!”
“Yeaaah… that’s bullshit. Open up already, let me see what we’re dealing with”
You freeze for a few seconds, pondering over your options. You could still escape through the window… Or just block the door with furniture…
“Fine. You can come in” you concede in the end.
“Thanks!” he says with a bright smile as you close it, remove the chain and let him in.
He takes a few steps inside, smiling at you.
“I didn’t know you were coming! Didn’t have time to tidy up!” you say quickly, moving to the side to let him in.
“Oh it can’t be that bad” he keeps walking forward…
Until he freezes, his eyes going all over the current state of your apartment. The broken boards… The cracked paint. The disassembled electronics laying around all over the place. The cat, eating from your unfinished meal over the table. The mess that is your bed. Your clothes, laying around everywhere. The broken chair laying in pieces on a corner…
“... And you had the guts to tell me you were fine…” he says taking a deep breath.
Why the hell did you open that door…?
------A few hours later-----------
You’re exhausted… Anathema became a pure force of nature, and you had no choice but to join him in cleaning the whole place. Throwing the trash, ordering your stuff, folding your clothes, doing laundry…
You’ve got to admit it’s looking pretty decent now. Almost like a real home. Even Pidgeon approves, now that he has his own place on a cushion and most of the obstacles and trash have been removed.
“Isn’t this better?” he asks.
“Yes,” you answer embarrassed. It’s obviously so much better.
“You’ve got to take care of yourself man”
“I know”
“How’s the chest wounds?” he asks, still concerned
“THose are fine!” you say quickly. “Not going to a hospital”
“Fine.. fine… “ he says a bit startled “I don’t get it what’s with you and hospitals”
“I don’t trust them”
“Alright, I won’t insist,” he says letting it go. “I’m just worried about you”
“I know… and.. “ 
“Hmm?” he looks at you a bit puzzled.
“Thank you,” you say, swallowing hard. “Thank you for coming here I mean…”   Thank you for caring, is what you actually want to say.
“Hey it’s ok!” he grins “I’m here for you, I told you.” he looks at the bags of trash ready for the recycling bins “How did it get so bad?”
Now that’s a good question.
“I don’t know… I guess I’ve been alone too long? At some point… it stopped mattering”
“Well, things like this do matter… Or at least they should. It’s your house after all. You live here”
“That’s true…” you admit. You hadn’t really thought about it… This was just your hideout. A base. A place to sleep in while you plan your next move. Somewhere you could keep Pidgeon safe. Not a home. Not a place to live in…
“There’s life beyond all that,” he says pointing at your large clue board” he smiles. “Don’t let it consume you.
“I’ll try not to,” you say returning the smile.
“I know all about this…” he says “...I mean I had some severe depressions too”
“I’m not depressed…” you say, doubts invading your mind the moment you say it. Are you?
“You say that but... letting go of yourself like this, It's a clear sign, you know?”
You sigh. There might be more truth to this than you can admit to yourself…
“Does it get better?” you ask, immediately feeling embarrassed. Why are you admitting this…? Why let him know how you …
“Yeah” he answers putting a hand over your shoulder. “It does get better. Trust me, it does”
You chat for a few more hours after that. 
Time seems to go fast.
Talking to him comes naturally, and makes you think about stuff you hadn’t ever considered. Your projects for the future. Your thoughts on the city. Gossiping about the other rangers. Hearing his experiences with his transition...
Something slowly begins to crack in your armor. He’s doing with Void’s bullets could not.
