Just the Editor

summary: chris teasing the podcast editor takes a little turn

warnings: language, make outs, dry humping

im editing a podcast for THE sturniolo triplets. this is big, like huuge. these guys got me through senior year of hs, and now im their editor, like wtf.

on the set beyond the wall that divides us i can hear the guys laughing with one another.

they’ve been recording for about 2 and a half hours. they should be done soon and come check the final product of the last pod i edited.

soon enough they finish their current recording and come to the editors office.

“Hey y/n/n.” nick says.

“Hey nick.” i get out of my chair to hug him and greet the other boys. “Im pretty much done if you guys wanna take a peek on the last episode.”

“Oh i have a meeting with madi and laura that matts gonna drive me to.” nick hesitates. “If chris is up for it he can stay and watch.”

“Yeah i can come pick him up after the meeting.” matt chimes in.

“Ok sounds good.”

no it doesn’t, two of three triplets gone leaving me with the third that i just so happen to be absolutely smitten over.

matt interrupts my thoughts, “Alright cool. We’ll be back.”

“Be good Chris.” nick laughs before heading out the door and closing it behind him.

i turn to face chris. i hope to god he doesn’t see how nervous i am.

“Ok so you ready?”

“Uhh yeah, you got pepsi?”

“Yeah there should be some in the fridge downstairs.”

“You wanna lead me over there? Please?”

“Of course.” i stand up and quickly walk to the foor opening it for him.

“No no, ladies first.” he winks.

fuck.

“Thanks.” wtf, THANKS, dumbass.

he laughs tho, ok cool, play it cool.

we walk down the stairs and into the kitchen in silence.

“Do you want one or two?” i say bent over in the fridge reaching for his pepsi. he steps close behind me, resting his hand on my lower back.

“Lemme get two, just in case.”

“ok.” i feel weak, his hand feels so firm and strong.

compared to the cold room i was in his hand is hot and the temperature change makes me shiver.

“Are you ok?” he asks as i stand up.

“Yeah just cold.”

“Here take my sweatshirt.”

before i can decline the offer he’s already taking it off revealing a wife beater that lifts halfway up his torso as the sweatshirt comes off. my eyes go wide and i dont get the chance to fix my expression before he notices the blush on my face.

he laughs softly, “Here goof, put it on.”

i take the sweater and put it on.

“You look good.”

“Thank you.”

“No problem, lets go watch the pod.”

“Yeah.”

my face is most definitely flushed, im hot, genuinely burning up and the sweater is making this worse now, but it smells so good. i cant take it off, not yet.

“Ok here you go.” i pass him my laptop and headphones so he can watch the pod on the loveseat in the office.

“Yo, you’re not gonna watch with me?”

“Uh, i guess i can.”

he scoots over and hands me the other headphone. he presses play. i cant even focus on the video in front of me, all i can think about is the fine ass man right next to me. shoulder to shoulder i swear i can feel his heart beat. there’s no way in hell im playing this cool. i just know im shaking. please god dont let him notice.

but he does anyways.

he pauses the video, “Is everything ok.”

i dont want to look him in the eyes, im gonna give it up. “Mhm, yeah.”

“Look at me.” he says quiet and gentle. but i dont look.

he grabs my face turning me towards him.

“I said look at me.”

he’s serious this time, his tone still quiet but now firm.

“Sorry.” i mumble.

“Shh, don’t apologize.” a smile grows on his face. “Whats on your mind?”

i shrug, struggling to make eye contact.

“Tell me, baby.”

im sure he could see the shock on my face because his subtle smirk turned into a soft chuckle.

“you’re pretty, chris.”

“You think so?”

i nod my head quickly.

“You’re beautiful, y/n.” he leans closer. “Can i kiss you?”

i nod once more before his lips land on mine.

he starts slow speeding up the kiss getting more rough. his tongue now caressing mine. he slowly runs his hand down to my neck and lets the other rest on my hip.

his sloppy kisses lead down my neck and i feel him leaving his mark. i let out a moan from the sharp pain, as i reach to grab his hair.

he bites harder making me let out another moan before he lets go, breathing hard he says, “Keep moaning for me, baby.”

“Yes sir.” i say as he goes back to making out with me.

i straddle his waist taking control grinding on his dick feeling the bulge grow larger.

“Fuck. Ke-keep going.”

now kissing down his neck and grinding against his hard cock, ive got him moaning for me.

then.

there’s a knock.

“Heeeyy.”

its nick. he opens the door to me struggling to get off chris. chris is completely unfazed as im absolutely embarrassed.

“Chris.”, matt laughs. “You didn’t.”

Nicks jaw completely dropped he turns around and walks out of the room.

Matt daps up chris before leaving too.

Chris stands up walking towards me, “Call me ok?”

i nod and he kisses my cheek before heading out the door.

i fall back onto the loveseat in utter disbelief.

“He forgot his sweatshirt.”

EDIT: Pt 2 Out Now

[zabala0z]

TMA S3 FINALE (and me screaming)

I don’t know where to start. Maybe the fact that everyone I like in this podcast always dies? Yeah I’ll start there. What the fuck guys. What. Like. What?????

I’m not going into my usual format but holy shit. MAG 119 was like motion sickness but for my ears. The music. I hated it so much. That organ. Tim. Tim. I knew he raised too many death flags, Jesus. Like I’m happy and all for him but GOD NO. AND DAISY??? Though when she started attacking the shit out of Breekon and Hope, I did internally cheer her on. The fact they tried to act as Basira made me wanna scream. Now that I think about it, was Daisy being influenced by one of the entities?? Like The Slaughter?

Basira is so much stronger than me. Like genuinely, I think she got bumped up a couple places just by her sheer logic during 119 and I am so impressed 💀 so much so, I’m wondering if she had like any internal help, y’know??

Orsinov is like one of the most horrifying sounding characters here. The moment she put on Gertrude’s and Leitners voice, I shrieked. Something about the sing-song voice, the way she inflects certain words makes my head spin. Like Michael.

Little backtracking, Martins situation with his mom is like devastating. And the moment Elias started speaking, I knew he was gonna pull out some traumatizing shitty news to give Martin, I hate him.

Fast forwarding: Jon’s dreams

Okay. So. Jon I guess is in some sort of coma and man are his dreams fucked up.

All the people that appeared in there were the people who gave physical statements. Not super hard to figure out but we had Dr Lionel Elliott, Tessa Winters, then Daisy but obviously she’s not there (DAISY 😭), Karolina Górka, Jordan Kennedy, I think the melted woman refers to Jude Perry, the hunters (Julia and Trevor), Naomi Herne and then the pitying figure. The only woman I would think would fit this vague description is Sasha because of course it’s vague, he doesn’t remember her and I’m going to sob.

Bit scared on what Jon is turning into. Whatever it is, it’s not anything good. He’s watching a lot and I guess he’s watching other people’s dreams- or nightmares- and just….watching??? I’d be terrified.

Elias got arrested. Love it. Though, “Be seeing you” I HATE YOU. 🫵🏻

Would be happy but god damn PETER LUKAS has replaced him and I don’t know if that’s worse or better because we at least know Elias’s actions and his limits. We don’t know much on Peter and I don’t like him at all. At least he’s giving them paid leave. And a counselor. I personally need a counselor for this WHOLE SEASON.

When people told me “good luck” when I started getting into TMA, I laughed it off. I should’ve taken it more seriously because I have never felt more distinct and unpredictable emotions than listening to this podcast. I think that’s all my thoughts. Mostly I’m just uhh dying here. I hate everyone and this podcast and I’ll be listening to the beginning of Season 4 tomorrow!

Again, thank you to everyone who has been following my mini rants and crappy theories. Remember when I thought Gertrude was living in the tunnels??? But seriously, thanks to anyone who has been like fully reading through my posts. School has been wack and the people, and just the podcast as a whole has been making my time less stressful 💀 anyways that’s too emotionally vulnerable so thank you!!!

[damienthepious]

did you know that it's a full moon tonight? because that fact has shaped ALL my writing progress today.

i fucking hate this new editor by the way. i can BARELY fucking post fic at all anymore and it's fucking banishing me to the phantom zone. go read my fic on ao3 instead im begging you.

Fandom: The Penumbra Podcast

Relationships: Lord Arum/Sir Damien/Rilla

Characters: Rilla, Sir Damien, Lord Arum, The Keep

Additional Tags: Second Citadel, Lizard Kissin' Tuesday, Established Relationship, Alternate Universe - Werewolf, Werewolf!Rilla specifically, Secrets, (look i think rilla deserves to have some angsst explored for once), (uhhhh god there have GOT to be more tags uhh. i don't know i'll add more later), (In later chapters there will be), Implied/Referenced Harm to Children, Implied/Referenced Violence, Mild Injury

Summary: Rilla is keeping secrets.

Notes: This didn't exist this morning and now i've got a new fucking multichapter to worry about jesus fuck. hopefully (LMAO) this one won't actually be that long? if it goes according to.. plan???? yeah. right. fine. okayfine.

~

Rilla has always liked straight lines. Consistent rules. Categories, into which data points will neatly fall.

This might, possibly, have something to do with all the categories she falls between the cracks of, herself. Or maybe she was always going to be like this. Who knows? She doesn't exactly have a control group to check with. Life doesn't work like that; neat and tidy like her experiments. Life is messy. Her life, in particular, is messy. But, hey, at least it's messy mostly on a predictable cycle. Mostly.

Rilla packs her usual bag, false bottom carefully in place with her new tinctures alongside the old standbys. She pulls her hair out of her face and into a braid, and picks her way down to the greenhouse to say her goodbyes.

A newer wrinkle in the routine: saying her see-you-in-a-couple-days, I-promise-I'll-be-safe, try-to-remember-that-I-love-yous in the Keep, now, and not in her own hut. Saying them to Arum, too.

Arum hasn't questioned her absences, yet, because she goes off on her own all the time anyway, and because he never really seems to question her about leaving the Keep. She can tell that he doesn't want to remind her of being kept here, and... that isn't necessary, really, but it's sweet, in a way.

He and Damien can keep each other company while she's gone, too. Which is nice. Damien doesn't have to be quite so lonely when she's gone, anymore (and Arum doesn't have to be lonely at all, if she can help it).

She kisses Damien deep, distracted by the way his skin smells, this close to the moon, and when she pulls back Arum nuzzles his snout into her neck in a way that makes her want to growl, though she manages to suppress the urge into just a shudder as she wraps an arm around him and squeezes. No time for fun, just now, unfortunately. She kisses Arum's cheek, light and sweet to make him scowl, and then she peels herself away with a casual wave.

The Keep's portal drops her in the front room of her hut, receding back into the wide planter to the left of the hearth with a gentle farewell warble from the Keep (or at least... what she assumes is a gentle farewell warble), and Rilla grabs another one or two things to stuff into her pack before she steps out of the hut, locks up, and marches into the jungle.

Damien thinks that her monthly disappearances have to do with harvesting rare medicinal plants with very particular blooming cycles, which is... partly true. There are flowers and herbs to be harvested during the day, when she can. She doesn't like being less than honest with Damien, but she's been less than honest with every single person she's ever known since her parents were Exiled. And- it's a medical condition. Sort of. She's allowed to keep a medical condition private if she wants to.

Arum...

Arum complicates things. He's good at that.

Arum complicates her excuses for not telling Damien, specifically. Because if Damien can, in fact, put aside his animosities and find room in his heart for a monster...

(Maybe she could have told him ages ago.)

(Or maybe not. Maybe it would have been too much, before. Maybe he would have been terrified. Maybe he would have felt betrayed. Maybe he would have told the Crown. Maybe he would have-)

No one knows about the second hut, the same way no one knows about her condition. Though... "hut" is generous. Her home is a hut, cozy and carefully cluttered and warm and welcoming. This building is more of a shack, really. It's a fair hike from the hut, but she can get there before dusk with time to spare, which is pretty much the point. Technically speaking, she could just overnight here and then come back home during the day, if she really pushed it, but that would be a lot harder to explain than just saying that she needs to travel to a distant grove for botanical purposes.

It looks abandoned and ramshackle, but the door and the lock are sturdy, and Rilla has the key.

Sturdy, reinforced walls, a wooden locking bar to make certain that nothing gets in and out, no windows. Bare floors, excepting a chair and a desk in one corner for a little bit of reading or writing during the day, and a chest to keep her things in. Mostly open space, where Rilla spreads out the blankets she brought, right in front of the metal hoops for the chains.

She cut her timing a little close today, mostly because she wanted to actually enjoy her morning with Damien and Arum. She sighs, stretches, and unpacks her extra clothes into the chest so she can get to the false bottom of her pack and pull out her medicine.

First night. She'll go with her standby tincture, this time. She has a new experimental blend she wants to try, but she'd rather save it for tomorrow, the full moon, and see how it affects her on the day that hits her with the most severe symptoms. This one, she at least knows that it'll keep her mostly placid.

She sighs, uncorks the vial and slams it back like a shot, wrinkling her nose at the taste.

The medicine makes her memory a bit... muddy? But even before she developed this particular treatment regimen, she couldn't remember much about what happened, what she would do on the nights immediately surrounding the full moon.

She does know that she hates it here. Hates the chains, hates the wood against her claws, hates the drowsiness from the medicine. Hates being alone.

She packs her kit back up. She undresses to her underclothes, then stows her dress and shoes and the tinctures into the chest before she closes it with a click.

She goes to sit on the blankets on the floor, then, fixing the harness around her neck and chest and adjusting it to the marked positions. Rilla has been alone in one way or another since her parents left, she reminds herself as she settles in to wait, her skin already prickling and her eyes adjusting far too quickly to the dark.

The wolf will just have to cope.

tag 9 people you want to get to know better!

Thank you @kardinalkalamity for the tag! :D

Kept planning to do this when I got back to my computer, so then my computer decided, let's stop working completely. Anyway!

three ships: If I'm being honest, macdennis is the only ship I've ever been truly actively invested in. I don't actually ship things often or strongly. But I'll also put Buffy/Angel up here because Buffy will always be my #1 show.

last song: The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen has been stuck in my head for weeks.

last movie: Cocaine Bear! It was surprisingly really well made, like this wasn't just some silly low budget horror, they put some work into this. The filming was good, the script was great, and the actors all seemed to be really into it and having a good time. It was really fun. Gory, though, but I mean it's a bear on cocaine, so.

currently reading: Still in the middle of Cosmos by Carl Sagan. Nightfall and Other Stories by Isaac Asimov. And a lot of Newton Geiszler angst fanfiction. I didn't... I didn't even like the movie.

currently watching: So many things I swear to God if I were to list them all we'd be here all week. Technically still currently watching Sunny as I've been putting off finishing s15 because I won't know what to do with myself once I finish until 16 is out. Also rewatching the 1996 Sabrina the Teenage Witch with my sister and trying to finish The Good Place. Finally just finished Community, plan on starting New Girl or Succession soon. Oh forgot Mythic Quest!

currently consuming: If this means food, maltesers chocolates. If this means general other content... uhh This Paranormal Life podcast I like to listen to while drawing. I've also had like 3 episodes of Wolf 359 left for over a year *sobs* I didn't want it to end.

currently craving: very full, so in terms of food, nothing right now, but in terms of content, I want some kind of book or media with some guy with psychic powers just having the worst time because of them. Weirdly specific.

Tagging some people from my notifs only if you want to do it, or haven't done it, no pressure and feel free to ignore me!: @angrymac, @kod-lyoko, @marimoog, @bellesaysmeow, @lambsmain, @mcdens, @emodennis, @gloomody, @buffalochickenpizza, @kathleenbrash27, @literatigeek

[aesrot]

sorry for sending you so many things but I'm in a talkative mood rn. Anyway have you heard of all tomorrows (I think thats what its called) its a sci fi horror thing about the "future" of humanity and "humans" after this eldritch race of Gods(?) came and mingled with humans.

It's probably one of the most disturbing things ive ever seen and I was unable to get through an entire video talking about it because it was so disturbing

please do not apologise, im having a fucking blast!!! and im afraid my sci-fi background is uhh very poor, so nope, havent read it (but adding to the list!!); but oh m y god, this can go in so many ways, love love love this, it reminds me a lot of coc actually.

theres this one brazilian podcast in which the guys played coc (i cannot stop talking abt them asjfhfsa so fucking sad its in portuguese, bc i want to make everyone listen to it), and the people involved w the cult of cthulhu were trying to create the 'perfect race' (it was set in the eve of the WWII, they were nazis, so that fits the whole thing) and were messing and combining humans with other eldritch creatures, and the descriptions were mmmm so good (the dm is a writer who really enjoys eschatology, so you can imagine how that went)

Statement #9:The scholar

I wrote a book about a week ago. You would think this would be good but I have no memory of writing it. The only reason I know I wrote it is because I recorded myself doing so. The worst part is-

Klovn

Find out.

Ivan, Ivan Kost and might I ask why the tapes. 

Zaine

No reason in particular, I just had a couple of them and I feel mysterious when I use them.

Kost

Strange. 

Zaine

Are you ready to tell your story?

Kost 

Since the moment you answered the door. 

Zaine

Awesome, Zaine Allgood original recording on May 26th, 2016. Please if you could.

Kost

Well it all started when i was but a little girl. I was prematurely born with a condition. It made it so I was as pale as snow and as weak and skinny as a stick. Growing up I was viciously mocked and bullied by my peers. They called me a freak, said I shouldn't have been born because of my condition. Home was less than ideal. My father was a military man and my mother was a zealot. 

You can assume that because of my appearance they saw me as a failure from the start. My father wanted a strong man fit to join the military and my mother wanted a beautiful baby boy. They both didn't get what they wanted. My fathers abuse was tame by standards, he never looked me in the eye and whenever i told him anything i could tell he wished i wasn't there. My mother on the other hand was the devil. She cursed me for being born saying how god had abandoned them for having such a cursed child. She would make me pray for hours on end making me beg for forgiveness from god. Hoping that one day he would hear her prayers and turn me into the thing she desired most.

My only refuge was my uncle Maximus, he was spouseless and childless. Instead being married to his work being a scholar collecting several books and obtaining vast amounts of knowledge from every walk of life. The best part was when he saw me he didn't see a failure or a demon, he saw his nephew. I often went to his house during summers. We would spend hours in his library talking of his recent adventures and reading the books that lined the shelves. He loved me like a son and I loved him much more than a father. 

But that would end when the summer did and I went back to hell. But he inspired me to seek my own knowledge. I was the academic master in my youth being the top student in my school and winning many awards for my intellect. When I eventually graduated high school I was a valedictorian. It was a surprise to all when i wanted to skip university, instead i went with my uncle and became his ward. It was my uncle's idea saying how colleges strip the intelligent of creativity leaving them mindless drones. 

My parents were against it,surprisingly, saying how they were proud of my hard work and didn't want it to be ruined by my bastard uncle. I told them to suck a lemon. And that's the last I saw of them. You could say working for my uncle was pure ecstasy. We traveled the globe seeking knowledge, oh the things we discovered and the adventures we had.

But after many years I realized something about my uncle. Originally I saw him as a machine fine tuned for seeking and acquiring knowledge no matter the danger. But something I never expected changed his mind…me. We would go on less treacherous journeys instead playing it safe. I asked him about it and he said he had grown weary in his old age. But I knew better. I knew that he saw me as weak and frail. 

The more he got to know me the more he saw my weakness and how it affected me. I detested him for it. The way he looked at me in pity, how when I had to take a break he would look to support and coddle me, he looked at me with such love it was sickening. But one day it all changed for us.

My uncle had heard a story of an abandoned cult temple on the western American coast. It was fairly safe all things considering and that's partly the reason why my uncle was so adamant on going. I had no reason to refuse so off we went to the good ol red, white, and blue. The trip was nothing to write home about but when we got there it was something to behold.

The temple was inside a cave in a mountain, it was fairly untouched because my uncle was given a lead via a benefactor. Inside was the usual cultist shlock they worshiped some clock faced god and died by a mass suicide. Incredibly standard really. But there was something that caught both me and my uncle's eye. It was a book.

It was written in a language that we did not know but somehow we understood it perfectly. It told of a ritual needed to summon a deity that would grant a wish to anyone for a price. The only thing stopping us was to recite a phrase. xe pyilw za il ylv, xe pazm za xe odipy, xe wafd oar xe wafd. My uncle looked at it in horror realizing the power that the ancient tomb had. While I looked in curiosity. 

I began to recite the text but I was stopped by my uncle. He said how we didnt know the risk,how we didnt know what the price was, blah blah blah. It was then I knew who my uncle was. A coward. The beloved uncle I once saw was now a pathetic loving old man. I knew I had to do something. And something I did.

We were leaving the cave and I noticed something. A ceremonial dagger ornate and golden. I grabbed it and thrust it into my uncle's back. His screams rang out against the cave's walls, the confusion and fear. When he turned and saw me holding the knife his look of betrayal made me sick to my stomach. I struck and I struck multiple times, I did for so long that I thought I might collapse from exhaustion. 

I took the book from my uncle's dead hands and recited the words that changed my life forever. What I saw I could not tell you but I knew it was beautiful. What wish did I make simple, I wished to no longer be restricted to the body that held me back. And like that I was reborn into a machine fine tuned for seeking knowledge…the end

Zaine

That…that's it?

Ivan

Why yes my dear author.

oooh how do u like it??? any fav eps so far? :3 (@oingomyboingos​)

ok days late but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. i am just about done s3 and im LOSING my MIND i think i’ve gone a grand total of one (1) day without listening to it since I started and that’s only because i ran out of episodes downloaded and was without network connection.

when I started listening to it i had no idea what it was going to be like or what it really was at all; I just knew that it had been recommended to me a number of times and i needed something to listen to on a flight so. for the first few episodes i was really excited to have an anthology-style story and was actually a little disappointed in some ways when it turned out to be serialized instead BUT. but they have done it so masterfully. i think i’m just used to some pieces that don’t handle the integration of anthology type intros to serialization more clumsily, and I was absolutely delighted at the result.

Favourite episodes is. difficult to capture. i need to babble about this show and my thoughts on it so you’re going to get a long list separated by category of “why i like it” 

I just think they’re neat

007—The Piper

I love me some WW1 fiction. Where’s the post about the difference between WW1 and WW2 nerds and why you need to watch out. I fall into the first category and have fallen out of my warboy interests in recent years (thank god, for separate reasons) but still really really enjoy it. love Wilfred Owen’s poetry and putting it side by side with Otto Dix pieces. also this fits into the “foreshadowing done EXTREMELY well” and i adore it

###—Spider Episodes

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i hate spiders. when i was four years old i nearly walked facefirst into the web of a saint andrew’s cross spider that was at perfect eye level, and i was stopped, and they’re not even particularly venomous, just like a bee sting really, but it scared the shit out of me so i have grievances with the fact that this podcast manages to be so good that i’m not even mad about all of the spider stuff in it

048—Lost In The Crowd

This one isn’t for any particular reason of plot or anything, though it’s very good, it just happens to overlap with one of my research interests which is uhh. we’ll summarize it as nonplaces and their ability to entrap. the title feels like a very deliberate reference to edgar allan poe’s short story “The Man of the Crowd” which informed Baudelaire’s essay The Painter of Modern Life which (among many other things) informed Benjamin’s works in general and especially his Arcades Project and all of this goes forwards to Marc Auge and his work on nonplaces and that fits into theories of Agamben’s regarding elements of normalized space stuff and that’s all tangential to the fact that I just felt very validated in recognizing that and also enjoyed the story. i know too many australians who’ve gone on backpacking tours.

051—High Pressure

[leonardo dicaprio pointing image]

065—Binary

this also just fits into a lot of. i just love people who talk about tech like this. creepypasta aside i really love the opening to this.

085—Upon the Stair

[leonardo dicaprio pointing image] listening to how jon pronounces antigonish was extremely funny to me because he says an-TIH-goh-nish and every local i know who says it doesn’t actually enunciate it, it just becomes “annegunish” without any actual accenting or emphasis so that was amusing. end thoughts on that one.

AAAAAAAAA PLOT

033—Boatswain’s Call

chilling. excellent. love maritime horror. nothing more to say yet except that i don’t know how it factors into everything else and am excited to find out.

053—Crusader

need i say anything. aaaaa. love gertrude right now. love this statement. delightful stuff. properly setting everything up. love the historical integration.

080—The Librarian

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

089—Twice as Bright

i love jude perry. scares the shit out of me.

092—Nothing Beside Remains

oh dear. oh no. oh god. i desperately don't know whether or not to trust elias. jon is an idiot and his judgement is bad and iffy. i'm so bad at avoiding spoilers but i'm doing my best but oh my god they're all so fucked.

Tropes I adore (fanfic style)

really it’s just that i’m a sucker for any stories involving whump/angst/hurt(maybecomfort) and this podcast is rife with opportunities and examples for that

053—Crusader (again)

martin’s worry about jon with the bread knife :(

079—Hide and Seek

same thing. a heavier note but. aaaa. the writing for jon’s paranoia and the surrounding responses to it is so very good and the buildup was done so well. tim’s anger is extremely rational and i want to give him a hug. martin’s sympathy and jon’s exhaustion are also extremely understandable. the opening to this episode hurt because the impression i got from it was just. they’re going down to try to find and save/stop jon, and while tim is focused on jon hurting someone else, it reads to me like martin was worried that jon was directly suicidal and going into the tunnels to die, rather than just “going to do something stupid and get hurt in the process”, and Tim’s tunnel vision (again, not wholly unfounded) blinding him to both that possibility and martin’s worries. also, martin needs a pay raise and for his coworkers to get very long vacations and also workplace therapy.

I Relate To Jon Too Much

this isn't a particular episode but just i need to scream about it. this came at just the right/wrong time, because i very much am feeling the same as jon on a professional level. that is to say, i took a job that was supposed to be simple numbers tracking and has turned into a massive investigative project. i have zero training or experience with document and data preservation, or finances, and so hearing georgie say "well it makes sense that you're the head archivist because then no one can or has told you you're doing everything wrong" was WILD because that's literally the exact situation i find myself in. it's covering business law, accounting and finance, investigative journalism/reporting, and now document and data preservation and investigation. also i am very bad at taking care of myself when i get very deep into a project and am also used to having people come in and drop tea on my desk to try to help. i big time feel jon using a tape recorder too because whether or not that's actually anything remotely normal in archival work or just the framing device beyond realism, i've recently been understanding the extent of my visual burnout/aversion and am realizing just how much it affects me. it is much easier for me to dictate things to someone to type than it is for me to type them, and I can type at a hundred wpm; it's just easier on my brain. right now i'm trying to pull together some combination guide book/changeover manual/project outline/complete history, and in reality this thing should be 50k words minimum with the stuff i need to put in it, but as soon as i have to type it i freeze up, but if i speak it or dictate it (or speak it and then type it out myself later) it's leagues more doable. The idea of making audio recordings that function the same way honestly never occurred to me but I might just start doing that because i have a coworker who's offered to transcribe things for me for business purposes and it would be so good. also it just feels nice to talk into a microphone. feels less pointless than talking to air.

in fact this podcast has inspired me to start looking back into possibly pursuing library sciences, because it prompted me to look into the extent to what i am currently doing is more archival than accounting, and that's the part that really has me hooked. i'm currently drafting up a proposal to accompany our next archive submissions for a project-based position with the goal of. like. i have the most knowledge at the moment of anyone on my organization as far as i know? and also just want an excuse to see firsthand more of what it's like.

the other part of things that’s just. aaaaa. is that i’ve. hmmm. maybe this is just something i’ll encounter in further horror media as i’m not really that familiar with it but oh boy does a lot of this hit with life experiences and jobs that i’ve worked and stuff. i used to work as a housekeeper at an uncomfortably fancy and expensive care home for seniors with neurodegenerative diseases and so the ones about care homes are. um. a bit painful on a personal level there because it turns out that’s not a fun place to work. really amplifies the horror because of its familiarity. also, used to work as a funeral attendant and pallbearer and so any of the ones really involving funerals, especially the one by the mortician (again, overlapping care home) was just like. oh yeah i forgot most people don’t. don’t exactly think like this or have day to day exposure to dead bodies. likewise, spent quite a while attending burn clinics for recovery from injuries bc that’s where the plastics department worked most of the time, so while i’m not a burn survivor myself it’s. also very familiar.

this is all to say that oh my god i adore this podcast. it's been ten days since i started listening to it and i don't know already what i'm going to do when i'm done.

Also goddamn you all I’ve started listening to The Magnus Archives

[mwagneto]

it's over

[cakeofthepan]

This episode was a doozy, but somehow my favorite part was the running bit of Matt being a misogynist. (Much love to Matt, I very much appreciate his ability to let himself be the butt of a good joke).  

[Audio Transcript:

[Instrumental version of Shania Twain’s “Man I Feel Like a Woman” plays in the background]

Matt: The more Freddie talks about Taylor the more clear that it is his mom is not a good person

Matt: Is she-

Will: I think it’s clear she’s not a good mom, I don’t know if it’s clear she’s not a good person

Matt: That’s true, that’s true, I meant good mom

Anthony: Matt doesn’t think women have value outside of being moms

Will: [laughter]

Matt [sadly]: Noooooo

Beth: That’s true

Anthony: [laughs]

Matt: Oh man, I was so pumped about this episode, now I’ve been-

Beth: Care to explain Matthew?

Matt: I’ve been put down a peg

Anthony: Your silence is deafening Matthew

Matt: Hi everybody, my name is Matthew Arnold, known misogynist

Anthony and Beth: [laughter]

Will: Hey everyone, I’m Will Campos

Matt: Lover of women

[laughter]

Beth: He has a wife

Will [like Borat]: My wife

Beth: Hi, my name is Beth May and I’m a known woman

[various gasps]

Beth: A real one

Will: Known woman known cry

Freddie and Beth: [laughter]

Beth: And I play Scary Marlowe

Freddie and Will: [gasp]

Beth: A goth punk seeker of darkness who is not like the other girls

Anthony: I noticed Matt didn’t do the gasp

Matt: I’m not scared of uhh I’m not scared of women

Freddie: Of wHAT!? Of WHO? Of what Matt? Of WHAT?

Anthony: [laughing]

Matt: I’m comfortable, I’m not scared

Beth: Well, okay

Matt: Uhh I got a natural 20. So I, 20 plus 3-

Freddie: OHH

Matt: So I look up at Scary and go

Link: Thanks Scary, oh my god here

Matt: And we do like the coolest predator high five

Beth: Okay cool

Matt: And then what do you say to me because I got a natural 20, like is it cool?

Beth: I say something really cool

Matt: Like what do you say?

Freddie: [snickers]

Beth: Ummmm

Matt: I wanna know, like is it cool?

Freddie: Paint a picture Beth

Anthony: So wait, rolling a natural 20 means you get to give up improv?

Matt, Freddie, Will: [laughter]

Will: You get to make someone else do the improv

Beth: Must be nice to put all the pressure on the woman Matt

Anthony: Yeah, just like Matt

[Music fades out]

Anthony: As artists we like to put parts of our own backstory into the podcast. I worked at a pizza place, Freddie’s from Seattle.

Beth: I’m a woman

[laughter]

Beginners’ Gaelic resources

My mother’s family are native Gaelic speakers (Scottish Gaelic, not Irish), and the family that lives on the Western Isles still speaks Gaelic with their children. Many of my cousins are native bilingual speakers, but I grew up in England and was divorced from all of that. I tried to learn Gaelic as a child, but my grandparents actively discouraged it and eventually I stopped. 

A while ago it occurred to me: how is it I am learning Chinese when I can’t even speak their language? Or Welsh, or any of the languages of the UK? How can I think about language endangerment in other countries when I can’t speak Gaelic, as someone with half of their family from the islands? It seems bizarre when you frame it in those terms. 

Throughout the last few months Gaelic has been a casual on-again off-again project for rainy days, when Chinese gets too onerous. I’m keeping it light and fun, because I know I’ll be here for the long ride. Here are some of the resources I’ve been using:

1) Learn Gaelic with Jason: https://gaelicwithjason.thinkific.com - Jason is an American who developed an interest in Gaelic from a young age, with a degree from Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on Skye. This course is paid, but it’s one of the best things I’ve found - not just for Gaelic, but for *any* language. It’s a series of complete immersive videos about 20-30 minutes long requiring no prior knowledge, building on each other. Jason really understands the idea of comprehensible input, and I could learn a lot from him as a teacher. He also hosts the lessons in a yurt, is a terrible drawer, and wears a torque. Cool guy. 

You can check out his videos for free here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVX7RajLZmm8i7LEuli05tw

Jason also has an intermediate course where he teaches Gaelic through folk tales from Scotland and Ireland which I will definitely use once I get there. It’s a wonderful way into stories I heard as a kid and have partly forgotten. 

2) Jason’s graded readers: Yes I love this man. He is a god. I’m not going to link to Amazon, but he has two graded readers and working on more. This is my favourite method of learning: of just opening a book and going ‘That..looks like...a verb?’ Very repetitive language, very high frequency, with an absolutely excellent glossary at the back - plus you get to read some lovely folk-tales. I’ve learnt so much from the one I have. 

3) https://learngaelic.scot : this is one of the best websites there is. It is a modern, well-designed accumulation of Stuff - it has flashcards, links to the old BBC Alba video series (highly recommended), grammar explanations, audio, more flashcards. And also tips for each level. They also have a YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqZrsYGwxA0g1KA3nKB6Y_A

4) Speaking Our Language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxeyZABaHeI&list=PLX1DGbPK9r2HHyLN062V_ASbIh3xXpyvb - This is a great playlist, very nicely old-fashioned, of Gaelic spoken in context for beginners. 

5) Learn Gaelic dictionary: https://learngaelic.scot/dictionary/index.jsp - This has sound, which is crucial

6) Beag air Bheag podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/34wGOU9sDTE7Vzg0qMexfv?si=2dF4YuqNQy6vdEL_smON4g&dl_branch=1 - Look. I understand none of this. But it’s an amazing podcast for intermediate learners, and I enjoy getting the occasional ‘agus’, ‘sin ceart’ and ‘ooooooo thaaaaaaaaa’. It’s nice to hear different accents and other learners too. 

7) GLOSSIKA!!!!!! I know what you’re thinking but - and it’s a big but - Glossika is free for certain small languages, and Gaelic is one of them!!! I’d really really recommend it, but best probably after the first 200 or so words to get the most from it. Basically it’s spaced repetition listening, and spoken importantly at a normal pace. Use glossika. 

(Also, for other languages, the free PDFs with standard IPA is available, uhh....quite easily...if you look..)

If anyone has any other resources you’d recommend for beginner level, let me know!! At the moment I’m more than preoccupied with Jason’s course and book, and Wiki as ever has all the grammar I need. For vocabulary, I’m not using Anki or anything specific yet, just memorising as I go along. It’s all very chill, and we’ll see how it goes. 

I...don’t know how to say 加油 in Gaelic. But. You get the picture.

- meichenxi out.

I’m smarter than the average pill bug

iwaizumi

is it homophobic of me to not let you win at bowling?

you sometimes speak like abe lincoln

do I pick friends based on if they are attractive? sometimes

tanaka

I just farted outside of my friend’s house and sent it to him as an audio clip to antagonize him

I just pissed for 55 seconds, who wants to try and beat my record?

god gave me a dick and balls so I could helicopter them at my nemesis's funeral

I’d let you do literally whatever you wanted to me. that made my balls happy reading that

I don’t get the hot boy attention I deserve from enough women

kenma

you listen to music while you go on walks, I listen to podcasts on bloodborne lore while I go to the gym using my stolen membership, we are not the same

quarantine did irreparable damage to my brain

4 Years Later

After 4 years, this page is active again! Well... at least that’s the plan. I’ll probably post stuff at a “somewhat regularly” frequency, probably mostly stuff about my fancomics or other creative projects. Assuming Twitter *really does* implode and most people jump ship for good, I’ll probably make this my new home base, even though I uhh.... am not really *that* experienced at knowing how to use tumblr lmao. I dunno, we’ll have to wait and see.

Get your Tumblr 2022 Year in Review →

[interact-if]

Umm hi 👉👈 I realized that most of the asks you guys get are about games and rec lists. You guys deserve so much recognition for the work you put in this blog, so I wanted to ask if I can do a little get-to-know-the-mods thing? If that's okay!

1. Besides writing, what are your hobbies?

2. Do you have a niche interest right now?

3. Any fave songs/artists/bands?

4. Any fave movies/tv shows?

5. On a scale of 1-10, how likely would you survive in your wip's world?

You can totally ignore this if you guys want, no pressure. Anyway, much love to all the interact-if mods! You guys are incredible! ❤

We saw this ask and we went 👀 👀 👀 so we’re happy to answer! Thank you so much for the fun ask!

 We also rated our survivability in all of our collective games, since Mars isn't an author! Fun stuff! Spoilers, though: it’s really not looking so great for me (Dani) but that’s fine!!!  😌

1. I’m a photographer as well as a graphic artist (but not like. A painter/drawer kind of artist!) and, on a general level, a maker and a tinkerer!

2. Fountain pens! I only write with ink, and only with fountain pens, and I use bottled inks/converters!

3. I’m pretty eclectic with music, but my top genres are alt rock, indie, indie pop, etc, as well as top 40s and some rap.

4. I feel like this is the hardest one for me to answer? Favorite movies/shows? Avatar: the Last Airbender has been a favorite show of mine since I was a little kid, but I have a harder time thinking of shows I would call a favorite in recent years. There are shows I’ve liked, and a lot of shows I’ve watched. But I’m picky! And demanding! It takes a lot to earn a place in Dani’s Trophy Case of Favorites. 😌 I would say I quite liked A Quite Place (movie), and I liked Us (movie). When it comes to TV shows, I have a hard time being pleased with them if they don’t end well. As a result, I have a penchant for a good limited series/miniseries (because they’re stories that have an end in mind and the plot reflects that, dagnabbit).

5. Heh. Okay.

In The Goodfellows? I think I stand I chance. I can exercise my sparkling wit and lovable personality to the best effect. I’m gonna give myself an 8/10 survivability rating. Even if I don’t have the right skills, I can go crying to the person who does and they’ll save me. Maybe.

In Creatures’ Cradle? I’m super $**!%d. 😌 1/10 survivability rating. And that 1 is me being nice to myself. The day the apocalypse breaks out I would probably be patient 0. I am self-aware. I would not do well in an apocalypse. Zombies care not for aforementioned sparkling wit and lovable personality, and I have all the muscle of a boiled spaghetti noodle. So it’s a no go.

Greater Than Gods (Cruz): Well. I’m going to be optimistic. And say that I have the wisdom not to do things I shouldn’t do and not to rock boats I shouldn’t rock. I’m going to give myself a 7/10 based on insider information, but also based on reckless optimism!

Vardir (Cruz): Cruz says this is a lighthearted game, so 10/10 LOL.

When it Hungers (Roast): I’m giving myself a nice, mediocre 5/10. I think I could put my mind to work here; I joke that I’m the village idiot, but I’m actually pretty smart! Unfortunately, I’m also curious, and maybe a little bad with authorities who won’t answer my questions. So I knocked off a lot of points due to the fact that I’d probably poke the metaphorical bear. So it’s a real coin flip as to whether I’d really make it or not.

Orthall Bay (Nines): Considering the genre is “horror” and the game intro includes the words “monster” and “maim,” I’m giving myself a whooping, enthusiastic 3/10. Yes, folks, I am that confident in myself! Once again, I can’t charm the socks off a monster (or can I?), so one of my greatest weapons is snatched from beneath my feet. Alas!

1. Beloved I’m a college student in the middle of a pandemic... i can hardly even write LOL i do draw at times which u can see in my personal blog (nothing too good really) and i used to do karate before things went to shit <3

2. Nothing niche I believe? All I do is leave Netflix as bg noise every day n play popular videgames (genshin)

3. Porter Robinson <3 I love Bea Miller a lot as well but lately I’ve been feeling Porter a lot

4. The Good Place <3

5. My WIPs:

Greater than Gods: Highly situational, the world GtG is set in is as broad as the real world LOL so I don’t have an universal answer. But keeping it vague, and knowing my own personality, I feel like 5/10. depends on my luck.

Vardir: 10/10 no one dies in Vikgade, unless you’re a hunter but I wouldn’t be a hunter <3

Others’ WIPs

I'm gonna give myself a solid 5/10 in all other WIPs because y'all aren't writing lighthearted stories either. I feel like as long as I avoid the role of the MC I will be mostly fine. I hope. But as Dani said I'm also prone to fight the wrong person and dig my own grave so 😌

1. Well, writing is a very, very, very, distant hobby since Words Hard, but I like to crochet and sculpt a little! Anything to do with fiddling with my hands and I’m good to go. And like, debatable but graphic design is my passion [insert clown emoji here since Tumblr said No]

2. Oh yeah a bunch! DnD yelling at people, thinking of arson, crocheting, rock climbing and simply vibing. I got into podcasts a few years ago and I’m always looking for more recs, so if you have some, hmu 😤

3. Pls,,,,my music taste is,,,so weird do not let me expose myself with lack of consistency but uhh. Current songs that are stuck in my head include; Cult of Dionysus , Achilles Come Down and The Last Shanty  

4. If you’ve ever spoken to me before, I probably yelled about Pacific Rim to you or at you. Plus I love all The Mummy films and really enjoyed Castlevania (s3 excluded, we do not perceive that) as well! 

5. Ah, mod survival simulator pt. 3

Alright, let’s go!  I don’t have a WIP because again, words hard, but like, considering how feral I am when not tryna seem professional hm... 

The Goodfellows: I wanna say a solid 7/10 because I’d hardcore vibe with the Traveler and probably instigate so much nonsense. I can also bribe with blueberry cake so maybe. 

Creature’s Cradle: maybe a 4/10 and only because of pure spite keeping me alive long enough to smack someone. I’ve prepared for hypothetical  zombie apolcapyses and I won’t hesitate to bap, but will be bapped back because I’m weak as hell. 

Greater Than Gods: a toss up between 2/10 and 7/10! I can vibe and be chill but I also have terrible impulse control so... 

Vardir: hm....I think pretty good survival rates all around? If you ask me to fight then like, okay sure, your knees are mine. So maybe a 8/10? 

When it Hungers: .......8/10 just because I’d refuse to die if I can be a cool creature. Living for the aesthetic can and will drag me outta hell. But I’m also clumsy as hell so I’d probably crash as a porcelain or hold a rooster and perish (aka, real rating is a good 3/10) 

Orthall Bay: 2/10, nope. Nope I’d be taken out in a heartbeat. Monsters can go pspsps and I’d head straight into the dark creepy forest like a fool if someone comes @ me. Half the time I’ll just assume it’s sfx makeup and vibe until it’s too late. 

god, never put me in a universe where I cannot squawk like a bird and throw pebbles from a window. Oof

Anon, you're so sweet! I give you a forehead smoomch <333 As for your questions...

1. If I'm not writing, I'm usually watching video essays on Youtube. My go-to channels as of right now is Disrupt and Aperture! I just really like their videos. Aside from that, I recently got into podcasts. Currently going through Hello From The Hallowoods and Shelter and Warning, which are made by queer creators!

2. Oh oof, there's quite a bit so I'm just gonna put down one thing. For some reason, I really got into collecting tiny astronaut things? I recently bought this astronaut desk light, and I've got a package coming in for the miniatures I ordered. No purpose for them other than I think they're neat <3

3. I'm a bit private with my music taste (even tho I have Spotify connected on Discord lmao), but there's 5 songs that I'm currently obsessed with. I keep replaying them over and over again. Just squeezing all the serotonin I could get outta them.

4. I can't really say I have a fave TV show or movie because I can't really just pick one, but my current fave is 9-1-1 and Resident Alien. 9-1-1 because I just really love the found-family dynamics and how the show tackles sensitive topics, and Resident Alien because it's lighthearted comedy. My all-time fave movie is Flipped! I have the book too and I like rereading from time to time <3

5. You're in for a doozy, anon, because we're rating each other's games <333

The Goodfellows: 7/10

Listen. Shenanigans with the Traveler. I would get up to so many of them and that is what'll get me possibly bodied, not the actual environment itself <3

Greater than Gods: 7/10

I like to think I have enough common sense to uhhh not recklessly flip stones that should not be flipped <3 I'm a cautious and skeptic person irl so I think I'll hold up well? Then again, it's a vast environment change and while I can adapt pretty quick, I wouldn't like the lack of control in the unknown.

Vardir: 10/10

Going off what Cruz said, Vardir is lighthearted and focused on personal growth so I think I'll be okay! Self-growth here I come, babey!

Creatures' Cradle: 8/10

Maybe I'm overestimating myself, but I think I'll be able to survive in a supernatural post-apocalyptic world! Ah, but it depends on the motivation though. I like the idea of rebuilding communities and eventually societies, but the survival turmoil would be a constant battle I'd have to overcome. If we're talking survival itself though, I think I'll do well.

When it Hungers: 8/10

That's probably my wishful thinking but I think I'll be fine. Maybe. Possibly. Don't like the idea of being regulated by an organization so if I was a non-human creature that could pose a problem but I can roll with it <3

Orthall Bay: 6/10

Assuming I'm not playing as MC, my chances of survival uhhh changes quite drastically. Not enough to guarantee an untimely demise, but certainly enough that it would constantly keep me on my toes. I think that's the safest answer I can get without spoiling anything lmao

Thank you so much for asking! It's super sweet of you <3

1. Too many :'D I knit, I sew, I do carpentry (well, learning), I bake, I'm hammering away at HTML and CSS, my job kind of encourages learning new things and I take that to picking up new hobbies!

2. My time is kind of consumed with school work and work work and WIP work so not a lot of time to pursue niche interests right now. I've been watching a lot of horror game playthroughs, true crime youtubers, and an adorable show on Netflix called the Repair Shop <3

3. My taste in music is "what am I vibing with atm?" I've been listening to a lot of 80's music atm (don't @ me), but also Lo Fang and Kaleo, and whatever spotify recommends me on my discover weekly which is usually complete chaos.

4. I love the Mummy even though it hasn't aged 100% well (I'm a librarian, of course it's one of my gotos LOL), Legally Blonde, Leverage, Jumanji (the original), I'm....very bad at having recent tastes... and very bad at remembering my favorites when asked.

5.

The Goodfellows: I'm a creature of comfort, 5/10 if I can just luxuriate in town and not actually interact with the story sfjkdbsdkf

Creature’s Cradle: I'd like to think I have a 50/50 shot XD 5/10, I want to think I'd be decent at a zombie apocalypse but ultimately would suffer an early fate.

Greater Than Gods: 10/10 if I'm just vibing, less so if I'm involved in the actual story XD

Vardir: I'd still suffer without technology but I can also knit for a living in this world so I'm down 8/10

When it Hungers: I feel like I could vibe here, there's tech if dated, hot showers, telephones are around by now... might still get bored. 7/10 though it'd be cool to be another creature....I should make a 'what creature of snv are you' quiz!

Orthall Bay: 7/10 idk I feel like after the first monster of the week I'd just skip town XDDDD I'm the worst protagonist, I see danger I just leave.
