#kollok 1991

Every serious and horror esc TTRPG has the most unserious gms.

Looking at Zac, Aabria and Brennan as an example.

@ Aimsey (and Aimsey fans)

PLEASE WATCH KOllOK PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE YOU WILL BE OBSESSED WITH IT OH MY GOD PLEASE I PROMISE YOU'LL LOVE IT PLEASE WATCH IT PLEASE

(OK, but, like, genuinely, KOllOK seems like the kind of show that would be right up Aimsey's alley, especially with how much they love Life is Strange and other similar media, as well as just the types of characters they tend to get attached to and the characters they create themself. KOllOK is so perfect for them)

For anyone wanting to get into it, the chronological timeline of the full series is

"Ten Candles" -> "The Playtest" -> "KOllOK 1991" -> "KOllOK 1991: Bleach" -> "KOllOK"

and here's a link to a playlist I made for the full series in that order

HOWEVER, I (and most KOllOK fans) recommend that first-timers watch in this order

"KOllOK 1991" -> "KOllOK 1991: Bleach" -> "KOllOK" -> "Ten Candles" <--> "The Playtest"

So just pick whichever you'd prefer :)

okay listen. i love jrwi, i really do. i love riptide and prime defenders, and the community has been pretty good, i have a lot of mutuals that are super cool. but the attitude and ferocity in which people defend the lgbt rep in the show? mh. not it.

podcasts as a medium have been incredibly full of queer creators making wonderful stories, including ttrpgs. especially ttrpgs!!! most of jrwi’s lgbt rep has been behind a paywall (and that was a joke for 90% of the series), or a joke (i’m looking at you fnc canon kiss), and the rest is vaguely implied. correct me if i’m wrong on this, i’m not caught up. i don’t really care about what the folks say off mic about characters, to be quite honest. there has been little indication of the actual queerness of characters in any form beside an npc who wasn’t even fully created by the showrunners. and that is my point. the lgbt stuff that people latch onto are things that have either been questions answered off mic, or things that the fan community has expanded upon that were only hinted at in canon, or just headcanoned.

im not saying that this is wrong, or the series is bad because of it, but the attitude that the fandom has towards it is... a lot for what is actually there on screen in earnest. it’s not the most lgbt podcast with fantastic rep that you say it is. there are so many podcasts with the kind of representation and characters that you are looking for. again, it’s not a bad podcast because of this, but we’ve gotta stop acting like it’s queer as hell.

so here are some podcasts with fully fleshed out, explicitly queer characters (with their corresponding vibe):

Dungeons & Daddies (s1: riptide, s2: pd)

The Broadswords (apotheosis)

All My Hexes (admittedly unfinished but still good)

A Horror Borealis (bitb)

Bombarded (riptide)

Fantasy High (of course) (pd)

Wildbranch High (pd)

Kollok 1991 (pd, bitb)

Monster Hour (s1: pd, kinda apotheosis)

$2 Creature Feature (pd)

Dice Crisis (riptide)

Hope’s Hearth (i haven’t started this one yet, but it’s on my list)

The Storyteller Squad (pd)

Dangerous Times at Chillhaven High (soooo much pd vibes)

Shrimp and Crits (bitb)

Pest Control (s1: riptide but modern, s2: early pd)

The Unexplored Places (they have many seasons, i can rant about them for hours tbh)

The Monster’s Playbook (pd, kinda bitb)

and that’s just the actual plays

again, i love jrwi, but we have got to stop hailing it as an exemplar of lgbt actual play podcasts because it just isn’t.

Kollok S3 was coming out at a time where I really couldn't consume media that heavy, and I haven't gotten into it since, but goddamn HyperRPG really does it like nobody else huh

timezones are crazy because some people were in 2024 while others were still in 2023 and im still here

Thank god Jeffery didn’t die holy shit. I cannot handle going through the death of a comedic yet deeply emotional and empathetic character that brings out the remaining remnants of humanity left in the people around him.

Tibby Devin has done irreparable damage to my brain chemistry.

So I had the toxic thoughts of thinking that I can bring a dead fandom back to life and now I am really motivated, so enjoy some more Kollok edits and eventually I’ll send a whole essay on the driver’s character arc, because I can
