the first episode of wtnv popped up on my YouTube feed, so obviously I had to listen to it, and itā€™s pushed me to pick wtnv back up after not listen for *checks notes* over a year, whoops! (Shoutout to my total lack of time perception) anyways I checked how many hours worth of episodes that is and uh. Itā€™s about 16. So Iā€™ll be working on that over the next few days

wOW I've totally slacked on posting my last few weeks of listening logs (and tbh, I'm still figuring out how best to post them on tumblr specifically - I think I just might start to share the videos?) anYWAY, here's the last three weeks of shows I've dipped my ears into (I regret that phrase)
WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE - I don't need to explain WTNV to you, this was my 'classics' week for the month
LIMETOWN - spooooooky
MODES OF THOUGHT IN ANTERRAN LITERATURE - lecture series about an ancient society, but fictional, y'all will love it
CONSUMED - another great spooky show from Aaron Mahnke! more New England haunts!!!!
JOSIE'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB - improvised call-in radio show! very fun!
ROCKING CHAIR; OR, SETTLEMENT - eerie folk musical horror podcast, it's incredibly cool and unique
OKAY now I'm caught up, all these posts are very chaotic but we're figuring it out

something you'd never know if you just watched TO is how young Hayley is. she's like three years older than Davina. She's around Josh's age. Cami is older than her. it's so wild. she was 19/20 when she had Hope. it's like how you forget that Rebekah & Kol were turned as teenagers because the actors are clearly older. when i watched TVD after having seen most of TO (i watched out of order, thank you netflix recommended), i was shocked when s4 introduced her as Tyler's friend and in the age cohort of Matt, Caroline, etc. because TO frames her as an adult (maybe because she's pregnant) in contrast to Josh and Davina who are framed as teens. it's just jarring. sorry for all the asks in a row, i've been rewatching and listening to TVDU podcasts (if you have recommendations, i'd love to hear them) and it's got my brain buzzing.
unrelated but in an earlier meta you mentioned Hope in Legacies killing a wolf alpha and said he was a crescent and i wanted to clarify that he wasn't. he was the wolf alpha that worked for Triad. we see him die in a montage along with the witch who works for Triad. it's a whole thing
Lastly, (i swear i'm nearly done), i support all the Mikaelsons being allies when Hope inevitably came out. Based on some Legacies backstory lore, i like to imagine Hope came to Auntie Freya and Hayley to ask them about her crush on Josie.
Hope and her baby cousin should've interacted, i can't believe we never got to see them on screen together.
anyway i'm done, love your metas so much especially the ones on Esther & Lily (justice for these women in the face of the fandom's misogyny)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hayley is a baby and I remind people of this as much as possible.
We see the image on the left as Hayley but really it's the image on the right who died in child birth and was dragged into the Mikaelson's world.
I even think TO attempts to make us forget how young she is. In Season 2, Mary guesses at her age, saying she's around 25, when in reality she would have only been like 21 or 22. They worked so hard to make us view her in the age range of Klaus, Elijah, and Cami. When, as you said, she was basically the same age as Josh. They do so much work to age her. Even Cami is only 24 but they act like she is older. Her brain isn't technically fully developed at the start of TO. She is only eight years older than Davina. But like I said not long ago, they go out of their way to make Davina seem like a child but Hayley and Cami like full grown adults when in reality they aren't that different in age.
People get mad at Hayley for making dumb decisions and I'm like, yeah, she's young and naĆÆve. People judge 20 year old Hayley who is fighting for her life harsher than the 1000+ year old vamps who are making a mess of her life.
I do not have any podcast recs but if anyone else does, please let us know!
Thank you for explaining the Legacies thing. I've seen enough spoilers to generally know what happens but clearly I don't see everything.
I wish Hope would have had that support system. Or even have had a moment like that with Freya and Hayley. She was old enough and even admitted to having a crush on Josie so I like to imagine she did have that conversation. It was such a waste to talk about baby "Nik" but never introduce him or have Hope interact with him. Did they even meet??
Thank you so much for reading so many of my metas! I'm glad they resonate with people!

HEY NOW...
Tumblr media
aw thanks anon!! i did post my gif resources a while ago but i can post an updated one of these soon and include some psds! my gifs really aren't that good tho anon ā€” if i'm being honest, i don't really spend that much time on colouring like i could ā€” so if you can find someone PROPERLY good (usually a film/tv blog, as you can imagine) they may have really expert tips šŸ¤”
Tumblr media
as someone who has been at the ugliest end of reddit & discord tv/britcom fans' trolldom (too nice a word, really), and lived through the fucking unending years-long era of that one incel's rule over the panel show subreddit, i understand the reticence to participate in those spaces ā€” even though, these days, they're mostly pleasant enough and subs that supply downloads (tv_bunny is life) are more or less transactional. that said, the purpose of this blog has always been to service the people who can't or don't torrent ā€” who a lot of reddit & discord tv/britcom fans don't have the patience for, but i digress ā€” so it doesn't bother me that a lot of my followers don't know reddit as well as i do. no worries!
Tumblr media
omg! recently i watched after life (i love kerry godliman!!!!!!!), dara Ć³ briain's new special, and i've also been doing my biannual re-listen of the entire horne section podcast because it is so fucking impeccable chef's kiss! i was catching up on guessable but it's really, deeply, truly mid, so i kinda gave up for a while and switched over to breeders (martin freeman agenda continues). otherwise non-panel show things, some films like close, return to dust, un beau matin, etc. ā€” but that's for my main hehe i'm someone who wishes i could watch 10000 things in one day T_T
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hahaha i do get asked this a lot!!! like you there's just so. many. and i often chicken out of substantially answering this because if i forget anyone i'll kick myself SO hard later
but
back in the day i answered a similar question about some non-comedians i want to see on taskmaster AND I SAID AMELIA DIMOLDENBERG AND IT CAME TRUE
LIKE
MY BRAIN šŸ§ šŸ§ šŸ§ šŸ§ šŸ§ šŸ§ 
SO MAYBE I CAN MANIFEST THINGS LET'S TRY šŸ”®šŸ”®šŸ”®šŸ”®šŸ”®šŸ”®šŸ”®
this is personal to me, of course, and i'm considering people i really love + who i think would be really fun specifically on taskmaster, so in a somewhat priority order...
robert webb
stephen mangan
robert irwin
martin freeman
catherine tate
jessica hynes
miles jupp
simon amstell (preferably on the same season as jessica hynes because about 15 years ago (literally) i used to watch this clip religiously, and i'm sure that has something very specific to say about why i am the way i am but we don't have time to psychoanalyse me rn)
larry dean
ed byrne
holly walsh
diane morgan
daniel radcliffe
charlie brooker
hugh laurie
susie dent (omg i was CACKLING at susie, who is never on panel shows(!!!), being on the same episode of guessable as nick helm ā€” and now i kinda wanna see her on the same series of tm as nick helm muhahaha)
kayvan novak
limmy
paul foot
bill bailey
lawrence chaney (i also love the vivienne of course! but i think lawrence may be more fit for tm while the vivenne is more fit for something like celeb juice; btw just watched her on guessable with ivo graham, and ivo calling her "viv"...omg...it did something to me...it really did...again, we're not talking about why i am the way i am)
vic reeves
the sexted boys
some other randoms people i'd certainly be happy to see, even if they don't make the priority manifesting roster ā€” ahir shah, adam buxton, danny dyer, jimmy carr, graham norton, matt berry, glenn moore, maggie aderin-pocock, gary delaney, hal cruttenden, rhys james, huge davies, josie long, alasdair beckett-king, gino d'acampo, julian barrett, and tonsss of actors but we'd be here all day
i don't think there are many people i vehemently do not want to see on the show.Ā while there are of course a few comedians i just don't like, and if taskmaster puts another tory politician on the panel again i'll fucking write in with my upset, the disappointment i typically feel if and when i see a new lineup is more along the lines of "meh they're fine but they took the place of someone i'd much rather see". but tm is also so good at introducing us to people we may not have seen much of before ā€” and then we love them, so i trust the producers and alex a lot!

Josie's Lonely Hearts Club: A Semi-improvised Audio Drama You'll Love
Tumblr media
Have you ever seen a Russian nesting doll? Remove one and there is another underneath. That's how the new audio-drama podcast Josieā€™s Lonely Hearts Club unfolds for listeners. It's a captivating drama with layers upon layers -- all of which will fascinate and enthrall. Here's the premise. Josieā€™s Lonely Hearts Club is a semi-improvised audio drama set in the studio of New Mexicoā€™s third-best romantic advice call-in show. On-air, listeners eavesdrop as Josie (Rachel Music of How Do They Bone?) squares off against top improvisers and her engineer Frank (Maximilian Clark of Superhuman Public Radio). In reality, Josie, the romance advice DJ, is melancholy Joanne Holtzinger. Each episode has off-air vignettes that chart Joanne's journey to nationally syndicated sensation Josie Heller, and then back again when the mics are off.
I listened to the first episode and was fascinated and wildly entertained. The episode begins with Josie discussing first impressions on dates with her listeners, and then encouraging callers to discuss that topic. Josie's voice is faintly Southern - Western and has a breathless quality to it.
For those who know radio, Josie's voice and demeanor reminds me of Delilah, who is a well-known American radio personality. Her show -- on the air since 1996 -- perfected the format for call-in romantic advice radio shows and has an estimated eight million listeners.
Then the call-ins to the radio station begin. These calls are improvised by professionals, and Josie (Rachel Music) has to respond. The callers include a bouncer for the nu metal band Korn, who doesn't know how to talk to women and a man who recounts a tender slow dance with a woman, who abruptly walks out, leaving a shoe behind a la Cinderella.Ā 
Then, on a commercial break, we meet "Joanne," who is the real person behind Josie. We discover that unlike Josie, who dispenses advice on life and romance, Joanne needs support and guidance about her seemingly despairing life.
The calls are fascinating, funny, odd, weird, yet strangely touching.Ā  "What results is an often hilarious and surprisingly human show exploring the risks we idiots take every time we fall in or out of love."
The character Josie Heller was born in 2021 while Rachel Music drove from New York to LA with all of her possessions, her boyfriend, and her dog -- hopefully no in that order.Ā 
"The week-long road trip was full of colorful characters and long stints of AM radio on old Route 66. The germ of a great idea took root...and like most great ideas, the first iteration was crap, and it sat on her desktop." Around this time, Rachel Music was picked to help write and voice season two of Superhuman Public Radio by its showrunner, Maximilian Clark, and the two clicked like Lois and Clark or Cagney And Lacey. A few months later, when Rachel co-founded Good Story Guild, a puzzle emerged: a show as nimble to produce as an unscripted podcast, but with arcs that deepen an audienceā€™s connection to a flawed, vulnerable character. Together, puzzlers Maximilian and Rachel developed an ingenious hybridā€“ half-improv Olympics, half writers room. An ongoing experiment in creativity, Josieā€™s Lonely Hearts Club is designed to surprise:a living, breathing show with a narrative spine. Rachel Music (co-creator, Josie) is a full-time artist and road-tested in New York's cabaret and cirque scene. She hosted and produced burlesque and circus revues as airborne, opera-singing Mistress of Ceremonies Kittyhawk Boone before stepping into a production role. Her work spans theater, music and new media, including GUNS, A CABARET, the award-winning short WENDY/GIGI, and the TikTok series EAVESDROPPERS. Now in Los Angeles, Rachel is the co-founder of the Good Story Guild and executive director of the company's audio drama and podcast slate. According to Rachel, she has lent her voice to childrenā€™s toys, rodeo commercials, and a lot of alien-on-human erotica. Maximilian Clark (co-creator/showrunner, Frank) has written and/or directed festival winning films, web series, and audio dramas that provide insightful commentary on the human experience interspersed with slapstick and fart jokes. Heā€™s largely responsible for the Starz digital series Llama Cop, and the audio drama Superhuman Public Radio on the Fable & Folly network. Heā€™s been invited to the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal three times, and has been temporarily banned from the Podcast Movement festival in Denver for six months. When heā€™s not being a creative menace in the world of fiction, he spends his time going undercover at Qanon rallies, producing content with Walter Masterson that exposes far right extremism through comedy and trolling. You can hear about their experiences on their politics podcast We Are Not Journalis.
Good Story Guild apparently birthed Jose's Lonely Hearts Club and when I googled the company this is what came up: "It is a time of crisis in the realm of storytelling: the barriers to entry are getting smaller, new technology continues to disrupt business models and power has consolidated into the hands of a few empires. Storytelling needs a new wave of heroes to usher in the next era. Instead, they got us - a guild of industry veterans, rogues and outsiders alike, brought together through a little serendipity and a passion for great story hooks. GSG is on a journey to bring back a little risk and danger to our beloved art form. Will you join us?"
I really have no idea what all that meant, but their manifesto is weird, intriguing, and I think we need a new true-crime podcast to investigate these people.Ā Ā 
That said, this show is a rule breaker, a genre mash up of epic proportions, a half-scripted, half-improv Jekyll Hyde creation, and 30 minutes of all-out fun, genius, humanity exposed, and as outrageous as detective Benoit Blanc in Knives Out and Glass Onion.
Check out Josieā€™s Lonely Hearts Club. Even if you don't love it (which you will), you can get some romantic advice or insights on alien on human erotica.

Hey Nico!
Could you perhaps give me, as a person who hasn't listened to WTNV before, a basic summary? I'm really interested in learning more about it!
Ok. I have no idea how to answer that. But I'll try my best. This here will be the version without any major spoilers if you want more details about what happened in the seasons the lore and all you can either send an ask or just DM me (I will love to talk to you either way, bestie).
So let's go.
Welcome to Nightvale is a fiction podcast that mostly follows the (now mandatory) comunity radio show of the fictional city of Nightvale. "A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep."
Nightvale is a strange city. With strange norms and where the unusual is normal. It's a very dangerous city as well, with tragedy and danger at every corner. But it's citzens are close knit, people care about each other and there's none of the types of bigotry we see on our world.
The voice that guides us through Nightvale is our friendly and wacky radio host: Cecil Gershwin Palmer. He is one of my favorite characthers and he is really weird and complex and the ultimate Tumblr Sexyman.
As the episodes go we are presented with more and more of this comunity and met is fascinating residents. Like Carlos, the scientist that came to Nightvale to study it because he and his team find the city to be the most scienticaly interesting comunity around (now while they have a past conected to Lubelle, Carlos and his team are the good scientists), Cecil falls in love with him the moment he meets him though Carlos takes longer to reciprocate. They are the main couple.
Some other famous characthers are John Peters (you know the farmer), Steve Carlsberg, the Glow Clous (all hail), Dana, Tamika Flyn, Old Woman Josie and the Erikas (the likely bĆ­blical accurated angels and the old woman they live with), the Faceless Old Woman that secretly lives in the house of all nightvale citzens, Deb the sentient patch of haze, Kosheck the statiom cat, City Council (an entidy with many heads), Kevin and soo many more.
Nightvale is a mostly linear story that has been going for ten years with some arcs like Strext Corp, Lot 37, the Evil Beagle, Doctor Lubelle and the University of What It Is (the current one) and the slowly unconver of Cecil's confusing and misterious past that started with "Cassetes" the 33th episode years ago.
Is really good and created a lot of the tropes used in modern horror and comedy podcasts. It also was a strong step into good queer representatitivity having an openly jewish gay main characther whose queernes was never used as mockery since 2012 and whose main interest was a gay latino man who is described as being dark skinned. And the representatitivity only improved with time.

Ya'know? I kinda wanna hear what everyone else's first experiences with Welcome to Night Vale were.
Personally, my first time listening to it was on a visit to my Aunt's place in Tennessee. She lived in a big open valley town, her house was on a hill, and she had a studio shed out back she used for art.
So, as the youngest on the trip (a teen, mind you), they set me loose in her studio to try out a Wacom tablet she'd just gotten and her Adobe programs. I stayed out in that shed so far into the night, for hours, and I couldn't have come in until like, 1-2 AM. Just... drawing and listening to WTNV's first few episodes.
I was (am) a chronic scaredy-cat. Scared of the dark, paranoid about windows, hated being alone in general. Yet, I felt completely at ease listening to Cecil's voice and hearing the stories of that little desert town. Nothing could've pulled me out of that little pocket of time until I was ready.
Even the next few days (a frankly terrifying thunder storm the next night and driving home) I couldn't stop listening. Plus, I think I always think about WTNV, because I was given that Wacom my aunt let me use, and it's my main source of drawing till this day. Like, that tablet and I *bonded* over Cecil's infatuation w/ Carlos, and Old Woman Josie's Angel Friends, and the mysterious Glow Cloud (All Hail the Glow Cloud, obviously).
I think I'd be missing out on one of my favorite genres and stories of all time if I'd never given into the urge to figure out what WTNV was. (Plus, yes, all the fan-art of Cecil in his Sexyman phase was what made me aware of the podcast. While he did not end up being a white-haired think in a purple vest with fun tattoos, what I found was infinitely better.)

But, as quickly as she arrived, Josie disappears. Only then does Alix discover that Josie has left a terrible and terrifying legacy in her wake, and that Alix has become the subject of her own true crime podcast, with her life and her familyā€™s lives under mortal threat.
