a private moment in the conversation pit

[skyfullofpods]

Happy audio drama Sunday, friends! Among my listens this week was the series finale of @mouseknightstudios' Ghost InSpectors, a wonderful episode of @hellofromthehallowoods, and a very emotional season finale of @desertskiespodcast!

I'll now be taking a week's break for the holidays, and I'll be back in the new year!

✨ This scene ✨

I only realized with them all put together in this post that this is essentially the arc of the scene

Once again, all is quiet. There is nothing this far out in the desert. And now… not even us. Art by Frank Liu.

Marisha was so committed to the mime, I just had to put Horace in there.

Phineas keeps collecting fold creatures that haunt Jonas

“Lark doesn’t really have many friends. She would laugh at you if you suggested that Landlord was her friend. Landlord is her dog. He’s not even HER dog; he’s A dog, he lives in the hut, she lives in the hut.” -Unrise, S1E1

The best monster hunter and the best boy <3

God the thing about Phineas and Jonas's dynamic in season one that makes it so insane-making (and unfold so badly) is that what Jonas thinks he has is a mild-mannered assistant with social anxiety who just needs a little more confidence and chill to really shine, when what he in fact has is a traumatized attack dog on a short leash who is ready to snap the second he feels even the slightest amount of slack. With social anxiety.

MERRY MIDST-MAS! 🎄 💖

Looks like someone got into the lights! From Sara, Xen, and Matt - and all of us here in the Cosmos - happy holidays and a spectacularly surreal new year! ✨

It is absolutely astonishing to me that Xen does all the music and sound effects for Moonward live and I feel like not enough people are talking about it and someone with more musical/sound knowledge needs to write an article or interview them or something.

what is Midst about?

Oh, this is a QUESTION.

Midst is space fantasy New Weird about three people whose lives are disrupted when The Trust, a society based around quantifying the value of good and bad deeds, takes interest in the planet-like islet of Midst.

Midst is about how the moon will explode and the government will spend more time talking about how bad this is for the economy than organizing disaster relief.

Midst is about what happens if The Good Place point system was an economic policy.

Midst is about a cult expanding its sphere of influence and its attempts to maintain hold on a cast of new converts, increasingly disillusioned devotees, and escaped apostates.

Midst is about the mechanics of blame, guilt, fault, accountability, and culpability and how emphasizing sole individual responsibility (for good and bad) deflects from the role of institutions, structures, environments, cycles, and ideologies in perpetuating harm.

Midst is about trying to balance the metaphorical books by making them very much not-metaphorical and how understanding that you can never (figuratively) zero out in reality shapes the way different people face or run from what they've done, hope for redemption and absolution (or not), and relate to themselves and others.

Midst is about taking the phrase capitalism as religion literally.

Midst is about a murder case in a frontier town that swiftly escalates into a major public scandal that reaches into the highest ranks of the federal capital and threatens to destabilize its most prominent institutions.

I promise none of these are exaggerations in the slightest.
