Von Babbitt is badass.

Throwing this in, though I know you have a post saying you're taking a break: I quite like Tetro. The story is exciting, and incredible. You've done an amazing job piecing everything together, and it has lead to me pretty seriously looking into following the footsteps of this project with a story also told in this audio format, since you demonstrated so clearly not only how this was possible, but how this could be done so well for a Killing Game specifically. The latest events, the latest death, as made me incredibly sad, and I feel a lot of emotional turmoil over losing both victims. But despite that, I have enjoyed the loving, losing, and worrying for the future. That's amazing. All of it is amazing. I have my theories and conclusions about who may be guilty and who isn't, but based on the posts I read, I mainly wanted to express an amount of thankfulness that the series exists at all. It's even lead to me writing fanpieces for some character interactions, and I imagine I have a few more in me from all that's gone on. Not only that, but the hard topics of this series have meant a lot to me. Yanagi and Tsuno have especially felt really close to home. The stories they talk about and the things they deal with matter in my own life. And the series as a whole has made me cry over stuff that mattered to me much more than any other media has done in the last year or so, maybe longer, in even broader strokes. All the characters don't just feel like people one could meet, but people I have met. People I have known. And some of those conversations feel just like ones I've had in my own life. You've done something incredible, and the writing has connected to me deeply. And though I can only speak for me, I doubt I'm alone in this. Thank you for this project, and thank you for sharing it so broadly, freely, and completely. Thanks for writing it, and writing daringly, maturely, and earnestly. At least, such are the ways I would describe it.

I hope I can cross paths with you sometime in the future over a creative endeavor. But in the meanwhile, I'll be tuned in to whatever you do for this, and for whatever comes next. As these things are called asks, if you do decide to respond: Who on Tetro is your favorite? Is it the same from when you were initially writing it? And what lead you to choose an audio drama as the medium in question? Thanks, and see ya at the trial.

thank you very very much, im extremely glad that youve been able to connect with my writing on that level and i hope that others have as well! i really enjoyed the writing process for tetro so its always really cool for me when others can enjoy my story as well

also, my favourite is hama! that changed a lot during production, but ive settled on hama as my goat forever i think. sorry to all the other favs i abandoned along the way

i chose the audio drama format because ive always really liked being able to picture things. when i was a kid, i used to fall asleep to audio books every night, and i really liked being able to picture the characters and stories as they were happening. i would always be so disappointed when id go to watch a movie adaptation of a book i liked only to see that everything looked different from in my head lmao.

i also think audio is a really fun format for this type of story! it was a fun challenge to get my points across without having visuals to back my writing. i didnt have very much faith in my ability to do this at first. tetro was originally planned to have a narrator because i didnt think id be able to tell a story without one. when i realized my writing could stand on its own, i took out the narrator and just let myself carry it as best i could. i think it made for some really fun opportunities where the impact of a scene just wouldnt have been nearly as strong if there had been visuals or narration.

i think [Ice Fairy] is a highlight of tetro in terms of audio storytelling - same with [Good Child]. having only audio forces you as the viewer to take a moment to figure out what's happening, which in turn gives you an "oh shit" realization moment that really helps the impact of a scene like [Ice Fairy] or [Good Child]. there are still some more really cool examples of tetro utilizing its format left to come - i hope you enjoy them when they do!

anti-Semitism is disgusting but Islamophobia isn't either and you clearly show some Islamophobic vibes so clearly stop being a hypocrite and say you don't care about Palestinians. You want them all dead and that's why you support Israel and deny everything it does to Palestinians. You aren't the one who should choose to forgive or not Noah cause you aren't the one he offended: you aren't Arab , you aren't Muslim and you aren't Palestinians.

No Arab, Muslim or Palestinian has any right to tell Noah how to feel about the brutal slaughter of Israelis by PALESTINIANS. Jesus.

I do not forgive Noah, because he hasn't done anything. Period.

I don't want any innocent Palestinians dead, but definitely every terrorist. Those fuckers are trying to get as many Palestinian civilians killed as possible as a mean to harm Israel, steal all their aids/food, just boycotted ceasefire talks again. Obviously they want all the Jews dead, but that is just their stated goal.

You try to defend those evil fucks and blame Israel for being attacked. Now that is an offensive opinion.

idk man i've reblogged and said things about how certain people on this site and the bird one are putin defenders, syrian/ukranian genocide deniers, outright white supremacists, avowed antisemites, etc. pointed out the ways in which the current moment is being happily hijacked by white supremacists with very strong and obvious agendas. and some of you guys have reblogged and liked those posts, and then immediately gone on to continue reblogging violently antisemitic things from the very same people. so i don't think it's sinking in tbh

(and like, the posts in question are never anything useful or links to articles or anything remotely "worth" platforming genocide deniers, just the usual "DON'T SCROLL PAST THIS, POSTING IS ACTIVISM" shit)

I'm glad Jews exist because every time I spiral into thinking about my life being extremely stressful and unlucky (except for Lithuania part, there was not a single day i regreted about living there), I remember what Jews have to deal with nowadays, and I feel like it's not so bad actually

Al-Qassam fighters repurposed two unexploded 2-ton IOF bombs, planting them on the path of advancing IOF vehicles in Jabalia and detonating them as soon as they approached, causing the destruction of 5 IOF tanks and the killing and injuring of their crews.

starlightomatic is a zionist just lettin you know

i did not know that, ill unfollow 👍 i have literally everything relating to israel/hamas filtered so anything they posted about the subject i did not see. ty for telling me

[narrativelysignificantturtleduck]

btw i'm fully ignoring canon info on characters' ages for the hama unfreezes aang au. hama says the raids began 60 years ago over a flashback of her as a young woman and the atla artbook's translation of jeong jeong's wanted poster says he's 61 (making her 15-20 years older) but i want it to be aang and the lesbians vs iroh and the gays and so that's what it's gonna be

The first hint it wasn't Israel should have been that they missed.

The second hint should have been that the hospital was still on the map.

Tw- war (if you're not here, keep reading and get triggered. Take a moment of your time to feel uncomfortable)

The best thing about this war is that in a while a bunch of ao3 fanfic authors will be like "hey guys sorry you didn't get updates for a while, my country is at a war and some of my family members and friends were brutally murdered, my house was bombed, and while it all happened I got death threats online and saw people I trusted praising the terrorist organisation that did it all. So sorry I wasn't online, I had many funerals to go to, but here's to your weekly dose of smut-"

npr's coverage of the ongoing war in palestine is the most jaw dropping and gut wrenching examples of liberal journalism i've ever had the opportunity to experience in real time

[papirouge]

pro lifers being more pissy about my post calling out their hypocrisy than about the struggling pregnant women and babies in Palestine ironically proves my point even further...

[fierceawakening]

So I think I see what this is getting at but is anyone else really creeped out right now? Like are we SURE everyone in Gaza looks up to Hamas and is happy about what they're doing right now?

ESPECIALLY given that several media outlets are reporting that the most recent intelligence says that Hamas EXPECTED a massive Israeli response with a staggering civilian toll (iirc, in the hopes of sparking a broader war in the region.) I know not everything in the news is free of spin, but I've seen it twice now from what I recall so it sounds possible, if not likely.

I know some people do choose to fight in wars and see their cause as noble. I'm not trying to say this poster is wrong on that. But I really worry that some Westerners, in our eagerness to prove ourselves Leftist Enough, are uncritically borrowing the propaganda a theocratic group is selling about "the martyrs."

Do the people in Gaza want to die for this? Who benefits if we assume the answer is yes without evidence it's the popular opinion?
