For our Halloween special, join us as we delve into the Magnus Archives, the first Podcast that we have covered on our Podcast! TMA has a special place in the hearts of James and Grace as its one of the first fandoms they've made fan content for themselves, and its been fun to show Nick what he's been missing out on! Join us as we ask hard hitting questions, like:

Who is our Number One Fan?

Why is Blahaj?

Is The Demon Headmaster scary to Zoomers?

Where is the Clussy?

If that sounds fun to you, why not listen to us here:

Imagine it's raining and you didn't bring an umbrella, and when your f/o notices, they offer to share theirs with you.

─── T R U E & S T O R Y

you meet in a coffee shop, in a bookstore, across opposite platforms of a passing train, in the windows of two cars going different directions. you meet in paris, in tokyo, in new york city, at the end of the world. pay attention to the story -- this is where we begin. a tale of lovers, of migration, from body to body, soul to soul, this documentation in human form, these stories in our skin. this -- the anatomy of you and me -- the anatomy of being.

─── THE TRUTH

welcome to my first stab at selfships! this is where i'll keep track of them, and the tags that'll mark them in my blog. below, you'll find a brief "story" with each ship, and the tag that goes along with it. it's all for fun and games, so please don't take it too seriously! i know i'm not! (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈)

─── THE STORIES

♛ you should see me in a crown ━ tobio

"we've... met before, haven't we?" "haven't we?" "maybe..." "but it feels like i've known you for a million years, my whole life." "maybe in the last one, we were together too." "yeah? well, i wouldn't be surprised." // chance meetings, love at first (or maybe second) sight, awkward first date(s), dancing in the dark, transatlantic flights, midnight airport pickups, falling asleep to your breaths on the phone.

"but why do people ship -"

[starshapedjello]

Can you PLEASE help try and understand why I find it so hard to tell if my collegue likes me? He's told me he isn't the one to chase a women and that he would wait for someone who meets his standards to go for him. There's this flirtiness between us and have deep conversations, but I just dont wanna make the first move without more signs..He's a Scorpio Sun, Capricorn Venus, Libra Mars. Help me understand some signs if I should go for it. Im personally a Aries sun, Taurus Venus and Scorpio Mars

You know, that’s really tough.

It’s the ol’ Aries in love with the Scorpio.

I’m an Aries and I was once in love with a Scorpio. We slept around a bunch, but he never relationshipped me, which is what I wanted!

In the end, it was very traumatic.

In synastry, Aries make a Quincunx aspect with Scorpio. It’s when 2 planets are 150degrees apart.

Here is a quote from online:

//“Here’s what makes Quincunxs challenging aspects: “Quincunx have nothing in common, like two irreconcilable notions,” says DeFranco. //

I do think Quincunx is a very hot 🥵 aspect, but it seems like the signs can barely understand each other.

Aries is DIRECT energy. Scorpio is INDIRECT energy. What they have in common is that they’re both ruled by MARS. 🔥 (but Scorpio is also ruled by Pluto in modern astrology)

The only advice I can give you is to tell you about the mistakes I made in my situationship with a Scorpio, since I have never successfully dated one:

1. Don’t insult them. Aries can get this way sometimes. We are hot headed and impatient and we want what we want. And sometimes we do it just to flirt or seem funny. Insults roll off us, so why not them? It will not roll off them. They will hold onto it for eternity. That’s the Pluto in them.

2. Don’t sleep with them. Scorpios are s3xy individuals and they know this. But s3x isn’t what they’re after ��� they’re looking for a deeper connection. They want soul mate energy. S3x is nothing to them compared to MAKING LOVE! They want to bare their all to someone. They want to feel HELD and CHERISHED. They understand the difference of “just s3x” and they think it’s cheap, even though they indulge in it constantly (double standards). They want to be with someone that they can see themselves starting a family with, so they’re not looking for a loose woman. They test people.

3. Above all else: Be their friend first. You can’t force someone to love you, tragically. But you do have the control to be someone’s friend. Scorpios are terribly misunderstood and more than anything they want that friend they can talk to anything about. Be patient. Give them their space. Go on a nature walk with them. (Pretty sure they enjoy quiet areas with nature). Invite them to hang out and do peaceful things together (since they’re a water sign, they are very sensitive to energies and can’t be around too many ppl for too long). They like to pretend they’re tough, but they’re soft. Way more soft than an Aries can even admit to be.

4. Be vulnerable with them. This is a very challenging thing for an Aries to do — being vulnerable. We spend our whole lives pretending we are TOUGH AS NAILS AND NO ONE CAN HURT US. But we are the babies of the zodiac (the first sign) and we aren’t as tough as we like to think we are. If you have known this guy a long time and are dying to tell him how you feel — just do it! But be completely honest. No jokes to lighten the mood. No insults to seem more macho. Just be vulnerable. Put yourself out there, even if he might break and shatter your heart. Do it anyway. This is the only way to a Scorpios heart. They need to know if you’re just as soft as they are. That makes them feel safe.

The Shipping Forecast and The Case of the Two Undead Twinks

With the three of us once again united, the forecasters return to our foots to talk about an issue close to our hearts: British Twinks that solve mysteries.

oin us in our Dead Boy Detectives episode, as Grace gets so invested in a ship that she forgets we're recording. James comes to terms with the fact he is 'The Charles' (but only in that he is posh and bossy), and Nick embarks on a quest to find a Dead Boys/Columbo fic (and learns to serve cunt along the way).

If that sounds your thing, the full episode is here:

And here

And all the other podcast places too!

And as a reminder, if you've got anything you'd like us to talk about feel free to send it in, either through our DMs or to our email (thefanshippingforecast@gmail.com), and if you've got any fics you'd like us to read or do a dramatic reading of, we'd love to see them too!

Time lurches forward,

Swift, Wilde, school five years ago

And mindlessness five years from now,

Warmth, or death? Sink or swim? 

Don’t get distracted by that.

Take your sertraline, keep your head high,

(Don’t slouch; it makes you look old)

March to the beat of the drum;

Rockall. Malin. Cromarty. Dogger.

Those chants, the ever louder chants,

Keep me moving forward, 

Forward, forward, stop. Back?

I forgot something. I can change the world - 

scratch the box - 

That’ll do it. Why would you think otherwise?

Space burns. Time burns.

Building a universe out of the embers 

Blown with a strong solar gale.

North-westerly 5 to 7,

Wintry showers, rain and snow for a time,

Good, becoming moderate or poor.

Sailing by (Ronald Binge) live BBC Concert Orchestra. Shipping Forecast theme BBC Radio 4

This is "Sailing By" composed by Ronald Binge in 1963, and performed live by the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by John Wilson. This theme is used by the BBC for its late night shipping forecast on Radio 4

+

The Shipping Forecast is a BBC Radio broadcast of weather reports and forecasts for the seas around the British Isles. It is produced by the Met Office and broadcast by BBC Radio 4 on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The forecast dates back over 150 years. There are currently four broadcasts per day at the following (UK local) times: 00:48, 05:20, 12:01, and 17:54.

In the forecast, the waters around the British Isles are divided into 31 sea areas, also known as weather areas. The forecast begins by listing areas with gale warnings, followed by a general synopsis of pressure areas, then a forecast for each individual sea area covering wind speed and direction, precipitation, and visibility. Extended forecasts at 00:48 and 05:20 include information from coastal weather stations and inshore waters.

The unique and distinctive presentation style of these broadcasts has led to their attracting an audience much wider than that directly interested in maritime weather conditions. It is frequently referred to and parodied in British popular culture.

It's oddly soothing to follow the shipping forecast (map above) from SE Iceland to Trafalgar.
