“it’s just a warmup sketch,” i say to myself. “i’m just gonna warm up on shading and coloring. i’m just warming up on anatomy.” my spine crackles from sitting in shrimp stance for 2 hours. “just to warm up.”

[Mild Epithet Erased spoilers] [TW Abuse Mention]

Listening to the new Epithet Erased audiobook and it's quickly falling into the category of "Wow this is really good but man I am Not Liking It!"

Like I think it's accomplishing what it sets out to do but honestly I don't know if what it sets out to do is really what I wanted from more Epithet content.

I'm just finishing up chapter 7 and like, god, is Molly gonna be allowed to be anything but Abused because this is getting really, really hard to get through.

Overall I think the book is Good so far and I'm sure other people would enjoy it, but on first blush I'm really not a fan.

Epithet Erased Prison of Plastic has spoiled me far too much and forever ruined me. The idea of listening to a recording of a single person reading a book and doing all the voices without so much as a quiet backing musical track sounds Absolutely Terrible. If you don't have a voice cast and sound effects... like, you don't have to. But I will be very hard to sell on your audiobook.

Question for the folks that use them:

Here audiobook meaning a work written with the intent to be visually read which is then adapted wholesale into an audio format.

Audiodrama Sunday 09/01/2024

Happy Audiodrama Sunday! Right now there are so many shows I follow that are releasing an episode every other week. It’s great! But it does mean I have a lot to write about. This week - Electromancy relisten, lots of werewolves, the arc finale of WBN, and more!

NEW SHOW ALERT Spout Lore’s spinoff Mall Brats is no longer Patreon exclusive! Mall Brats is a Blades in the Dark actual play about 3 kids who live in a giant shopping mall in a fantasy world and do crimes. This is a relisten for me, a year or so ago I subscribed to their patreon for a month and binged the whole thing. My only criticism is that the new version of the theme song isn’t as good as the old one.

I relistened to @electromancypodcast this week. I love this show, it feels so thorough in it’s approach to the setting and core conflict. Electromancy would adapt so well to a tv show, I can see so many of the scenes in my head. I don’t know how else to say it, the show feels like it was written like a tv show. Don’t get me wrong it’s great in an audio medium, but it would also be great as a tv show.

In @storiesfromylelmore this week poor Rion! He’s like Molly from Epithet Erased except he’s overworked by choice, and he also has to deal with werewolf racism. He didn’t even get a hug! The luck charm was really cool worldbuilding but also such an incredibly meaningful gesture from Keryth. Literally giving someone your luck because you care about them is so powerful.

@worldgonewrongpod also had an episode focused on werewolves this week. It has a very different interpretation of werewolves to Ylelmore, but both used them as an allegory for actual marginalized groups. Werewolves are so versatile.

Starwhal Odyssey released it’s second episode this week. It’s officially moved away from 5e, the new system seems cool. I loved the audio design for gamer space, and the gaming chair spelljammer helm is such an inspired choice.

I have a lot of distinct thoughts about the arc finale of @worldsbeyondpod. First off is that they have trains? That’s not something I expected from this setting. Immediately following that revelation was another party split, the rest of the party really is so irresponsible without Suvi. Stealing anything other than the coven wand was so dumb, Indri can curse the shit out of them for that. There was a complete tone shift in the last half hour of this season, at least Suvi isn’t going to be as upset this time.

We had part 5 of @midnightburgr’s Welcome to the Horizon. Everyone is high! I’m glad Verge is enjoying themselves, Verge and Deidre is fun. I guess Verge has a thing for humans, first Leif and now Deidre.

Case study: IREC-A59 released its third episode this week. It’s really good so far, it’s making me want to reread Project Hail Mary. I love that no one knows the captains name, that’s a great detail.

I listened to part 3 of Moonward, the @midstpodcast AP miniseries. For some reason I didn’t expect it to lean into horror, but given the setting, I shouldn't be surprised that it did.

We went to the Paris Olympics this week in Mission Rejected. That was a fun episode, I loved the image of two random Olympic athletes taking on a bunch of kidnappers and destroying them. Interesting to see the nation of Val Verde again. Mcgrath hitting up Athena for a gadget was great.

I didn't get through all the new shows that came out this week, there's still some more for next week. I also want to try to catch up on The Once and Future Nerd, I think I need to start from the beginning of book 2.

Airing out my LMK trailer/S5 thoughts cause u gotta do this somehow

Most glaring, animation. It’s not bad, by any means. I’d certainly be proud of myself if I were able to come up with it.

However, I think it’s important to consider the context of the show’s style, and how it’s been improving significantly over instalments. Also, it’s Flying Bark. Flying Bark is just gonna make banger animation.

Am I a bit disappointed when comparing it to Emperor’s Wrath? Yeah. Especially when we’ve been waiting a full year for this—twice as long as usual.

But I’m not saying I won’t be watching the show because of it. I still love this story. Fuck, my favourite series is Epithet Erased. The show that’s best described as JPEGs wiggling around your screen for 2 hours. I can handle less than expected animation if it’s made up for by good writing.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people attacking invisible fans that claim they’re going to boycott the show because of this. Respectfully, source? The most aggressive criticism I’ve seen is “man that’s disappointing ig, still excited tho”. Who are you guys even fighting lmao. (Unless this is something happening on other platforms and you’re just venting on here which, valid)

Nevertheless, as I’ve said before, it’s not bad animation, just not up to the standard we’re used to. People are allowed to be disappointed. Let them be. This show isn’t flawless.

It’s looking to be real, all things considered. We’ve never gotten a fan leak this elaborate before, and it contains a lot of elements that were just recently revealed. Unless they’ve been getting announcements much earlier than we have (considering this fanbase’s sleuth skills, I’d doubt it) then there’s no other explanation other than it being official.

Official, however, doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to look that way the whole time. The animation is being done by another studio, yes, but only partially. Flying Bark is still here for the fun. This other studio also isn’t incompetent, they’re behind things like Carmen Sandiego. They know what they’re doing.

They’re also primarily handling additional material, means promotions, meaning trailers. Listen, it’s a bit of a stretch considering the fact that all trailers so far have been taken directly from the show, but also it’s industry standard to make a trailer before you’re even done, meaning you gotta cut some corners for the scenes you’re showing until you polish them up in post.

We know LEGO has a habit of keeping LMK things in their vault until they need to, this may be something they had lying around from early prod and released to maintain hype.

Any which way, this development is very much temporary, only applying because the team is currently working on a movie and need to momentarily lessen their workload. Even if the odds are against us and S5 looks like a PowerPoint presentation, it’ll likely go back to normal later.

Biiig animation rant aside, I am a tad bit sad about the direction the story is going in (namely the abandonment of Red Son) and the fan service is a bit much, but honestly what else are we expecting from JTTW fanfic.

I’m stoked to see more Macaque though—he’s looking to be becoming a proper protagonist, which is great for angst! Yippee!

One thing I haven’t seen anyone talk about is the complete lack of Nüwa. You know, the character they’ve been teasing this whole time? Where is she? Not in the trailer. Not in the posters.

Makes me wondering if this is a part of the new season, teasing the next one, the one Nüwa’s in, later.

[ichigoofficial]

Me and @bigbadwolfy were talking about Epithet Erased earlier and we both came to a realization on something.

In the show, Molly strayed away from her group and ended up bumping into Sylvie and soon passing out, right? So what if...

Molly stayed with her group?

(SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT!)

Never bumping into Sylvie, never falling asleep, and never being left behind in the museum? She'd end up going home safe and sound, unaware of the soon to happen robbery of the museum. She'd never meet Giovanni. Mera would never learn about her powers and how useful they'd be. In turn, Sylvie would be the protagonist in place of Molly, as he had plans to stay in the museum after dark to learn about the amulet he heard about during the earlier tour. Since Molly wouldn't be there, Sylvie would've ended up easily messing with the Banzai Blasters' plans and possibly having them arrested. One thing we figured would be the same was Sylvie ending up getting his epithet taken away by Mera, but soon he'd get it back when the police arrive and confiscate the amulet. With the Blasters not running away with the amulet and the police already having it in their possession, that would completely take away the Western Arc. Not only that, but since Molly never got trapped in the museum and met Gio, she never learned how to stand up for herself, so a majority, if not an entirety of Prison of Plastic never happens, due to her being unable to stand up to her own sister. Ramsey would also probably be dead since Zora would've already gotten to him as Percy never went to investigate Redwood Run.

So basically what I'm saying is; everything you see in canon wouldn't have happened if it weren't for a certain small and "meaningless" event happening resulting in a whole butterfly effect.

Sylvie basically caused this by knocking Molly out, vice versa with Molly bumping into Sylvie.

ANYWAYS thanks for listening to this probably meaningless theory session :3

[hydragstudios]

(POP SPOILERS) Massive Epithet Erased theory

So, this is going to be a pretty big and out there theory, but I think this might be revealed to be true in the future.

I think Trixie Roughhouse... is the Harbinger for the Songstress.

On my fourth listen-to of Prison of Plastic, I had come to chapter two when I heard Phoenica talk about some of the traits the Harbinger has. Most notably, she says the Harbinger is about to hear demonic voices and can control the dead.

And what do we see Trixie do on her chapter, where she fights the Scaregrow? She is shown to be able to ward off ghosts with holy water, is capable to perform successful seances, and heard the voice of a crow that NO ONE ELSE can hear but her.

Trixie has the exclusive ability to hear the dead, control them, AND hear demons... all traits of the Songstress.

This can only mean one thing... Phoenica will have to defeat her best friend Trixie, in order to defeat the songstress.

On a smaller note for evidence, Trixie does share similar hair color and style to the picture of the songstress shown in the Sweetjazz museum, just saying.

"Hmm..."

"Oh, sorry. My name is Doctor Sylvester Ashling. I'm the owner of Ashling Psychology Offices, and-

Well, co-owner technically, I lied about the person I work under, but that's besides the point.

Ahem. I'm the CO-OWNER of Ashling Psychology Offices. I mostly came here for reasons like Miss Blyndeff, but I haven't had much fun for a while. Go ahead, ask me questions and try to see how many sheep I can count."

🐏~~~~~~~~~~💤~~~~~~~~~~🐏

I can't control myself. Sylvester has joined the team!

"Canon? This is a place of business, I can't be firing things like that!" This contains headcanons, so I mostly won't stick to the og Epithet Erased plot

NOT AFFILIATED WITH JELLOAPOCALYPSE OR ANYONE FROM THE EE TEAM

Main timeline for the blog is a few years after canon (everyone is like 3 or 4 years older ig). Prison of Plastic doesn't exist

Mod is a minor!!!!! And (canon) Sylvie is also a minor.

Keep your kinks to yourself for the love of god

Mod goes by any/all (mostly he/him)

May rp, but ask first. Most likely it will be a no, though.

Ships are allowed and stuff I guess

I have only watched the show, haven't read the books so I only know about the YouTube series.

Reiterating nothing sexual directed at mod, nothing sexual at the character, and no slurs. I will delete any and all asks like this

I am usually busy with school from 7am to 3pm EST, so wait until around then to see an answer if you send a message

Mod's main is @eteledhasanaxe

This blog is made for answering questions and is supposedly similarly structured to ones by @/Leagallyfine (they do Ace Attorney blogs and are really cool, go follow them!)

Have fun with Sylvie!

(note: mod isn't a real therapist but will listen to you if you need it 👍)

[username8746489]

So what is Sylvie and Rick's relationship? What made them connect

I'm gonna be honest, I 100% know little to NOTHING about their canon relationship

There was this period of time like a week ago where I drove myself insane trying to look for the confirmation that Sylvie and Rick were gonna be the POV investigation duo of Horizontal Pilot Command (The fifth novel in the series) because there was nothing listed in the wikis and I was staying up until 2am every night listening to streams to find it (This is relevant for later).

At 2:51:55 in the Prison of Plastic - CAST LIVESTREAM [PART 2], the Sylvie and Rick POV duo is brought up. A little while later, their dynamic is described as

Sylvie: Follow me, I know exactly what to do! (Has watched a lot of Detective Conan and is going to do his best)

Rick: Ah, okay! I have no idea what I'm doing but will copy you exactly!

During the period of time when I was trying to find that, I resorted to straight up closing my eyes and trying to skim through the Anime Campaign wiki without spoiling myself upon which I learned their relationship was meant to be brotherly but they didn't really get to explore that.

So from that, I assume that'll carry over into epithet erased, but there is the possibility that it won't.
