Now that you have answered the poll, I want to share something else. I made this blog to talk about cartoons, but today I want to use it to spread this Gofundme and this family's story:

Donate to Help Falestine and Family Survive the Gaza Crisis, organized by Jacob Thompson

Hello all, I am Falestine Asad, I am 36 years old, married, and I ha… Jacob Thompson needs your support for Help Falestine and Family Survi

GOFUNDME.COM

Hello all,

I am Falestine Asad, I am 36 years old, married, and I have a three-month-old child named Youssef. I gave birth to him during the war during very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. I moved from the hospital immediately after giving birth, to the tent where we were staying after we were displaced when the Israeli bulldozers completely bulldozed my house. Kamel has become featureless, and my suffering did not start there. Rather, I have been suffering since the beginning of the war, and I am still suffering. I cannot provide enough milk or diapers for my baby. Even medicines and vitamins are not available.

I ask you for your urgent help in disseminating the link to my family and communicating it to people interested and able to help us. I didn't want to do it, but the tragic situation we are living in is what pushed me to do it. I feel sad and helpless, after we had everything, we are now homeless on the streets, living in a tent next to a dilapidated public toilet and there is sewage, dirt and waste everywhere, we sleep on it! We suffer from terrible heat, insects, scorpions, the danger of death, bombs and missiles, in addition to hunger of course, the danger of pollution and terrible diseases, especially the digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems!

My father and mother could not bear it any longer. My father had a stroke after losing his home and his place of work, and my mother suffers from chronic diseases and needs treatment.

Do you have the right to imagine that when you spend your life building for yourself and your children to live a decent life, all of this disappears in the blink of an eye, and now when you reach the age where you should rest, you are forced to start again!!? But the most important thing now is to try to survive and protect your children from all the factors of death that surround us! I ask everyone who has humanity or conscience to feel our situation and put themselves in our place. How can someone who has lived with dignity all his life accept this? We are slowly dying every day.

Your donation, no matter how small, can have a big impact. It can provide a meal for my little one, a clean bottle of water, or a moment of safety under these difficult circumstances. Every donation brings with it a ray of hope, alleviating our suffering and giving us the strength to face a new day.

I ask you to donate and support the steadfastness of the Gazan people, and share this campaign with your friends and families. Together, we can make a difference and help my family get through this ordeal.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support.

Warm greetings,

Falestine

[2023] TOP 20 PODCASTS ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA

To make this ranking, all series titles in Other Media were copy-pasted to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then manually filtered since not all podcasts were marked as such.

The numbers under each rank indicate how much they rose/fell in the rankings based on last year's (Oct. 24, 2023) rankings, which can be found here. The gray numbers in parenthesis indicate how much fanworks it gained since last year.

The data for this year and last year's rankings were taken while logged in, so lcoked fanworks are included in the count.

A few web series like Critical Role and Dimensions 20 released audio-only versions of their works too, but I left them out since they were listed was a web series on ao3 and more known as one too.

Cabin Pressure has also been left off the list this time since its podcast format was only released in 2019, years after it aired on the radio.

All nonfiction podcasts have also been excluded (Not that there were many), because with RPFs, it’s hard to tell if the fic in question is just based on the podcast or because of the things the person has done outside of it. Last year, I accidentally included The Misfits in the list since I didn't realize from its description that it was nonfiction.

The Two Princes (Podcast) ranks 21st in the rankings this year, and actually ranked 20th last year when the rankings are adjusted to exclude Cabin Pressure and The Misfits.

The College Tapes is actually a spinoff of The Bright Sessions.

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

My dumbass be like “oh give me more podcast recommendations” knowing damn well I have at least 500 other podcasts to listen to

[drdrizzey]

Podcasts are so funny, I can literally re-listen to the Magnus archives but picturing Jon with the most absurd hats, sombreros and ugly new year glasses or even galaxy leggings in the most heartbreaking and serious scenes and nothing could ever stop me. And it would be canon.

Just a sneak into my twisted mind and the power of one's imagination. Unstoppable. From now on, they're all bald.

Pearl: Jump on the creeper's head like a goomba

[WARNING: EXTRA BRIGHT AND FLASHING IMAGES IN THIS UPDATE]

You get the sudden inexplicable urge to enact a battle move from a completely different universe.

You know you shoudn't.

And yet.

Welp

Gem: Jump!!

Mumbo: Wha-

Whoops. Creepers don't work that way after all! Now Mumbo got caught in the explosion and the three of you are plummeting to the cave floor.

>Pearl & Co: Sustain damage

Start Over -- Go Back

(next update the power of RNG decide who's landing where and how many hearts everyone loses. This adventure isn't over yet~)

[thelaurenshippen]

it's officially been 10 years since I sent @thebrightsessions pilot to my friend Jack to get his thoughts. he was the first person to read it, and gave me great thoughts, and I made the pilot better and then...

well. it was almost exactly a year before I sent this message:

all to say: however long it takes, however uncertain you feel—surround yourself with amazing, kind, talented people and just go for it. the worst that can happen is that you learn something. the best is that you learn something and it gives you your life, which is what happened to me.

it’s said so much that it sounds trite but it really is true: do it scared

[magic-dustt]

The way I would sell my soul just to have one person who would be willing to lie on the floor with me and listen to my favorite podcasts. Am I asking for too much? I know you'd like Limetown, I know you'd like TMA, I know you'd like Archive 81. Why won't anyone just lie on the floor with me, goddammit…

The Bright Sessions: Consolidated Lore and Timeline

After a month, countless relistens of the podcast, at least a cumulative 5 readings of The Infinite Noise, 3 readings of A Neon Darkness, and 3 readings of Some Faraway Place, my best friend and I have created this monstrosity of a google document that compiles the entire timeline of the entire bright sessions universe.

This 26k-word document contains every major event that happens in the bright sessions, the bright sides, the am archives, the college tapes, and all three books in order of when they happened, along with some extra details about the characters that we wanted to throw in there. There are also footnotes adding relevant details and commentary. This is designed mostly as an outlet for our current hyperfixation, but we thought we'd release it on tumblr so that anyone who might find it useful for whatever reason can access it.

Full credit goes to @thelaurenshippen and @thebrightsessions for creation of this world, and we strongly recommend everyone go out and buy merch, support the producers with monthly donations, or recommend the show to a friend so that Atypical Artists can keep making shows that inspire people like us. Thank you :)

[2024] TOP 20 PODCASTS ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA

To make this ranking, all series titles in Other Media were copy-pasted to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then manually filtered since not all podcasts were marked as such.

The numbers under each rank indicate how much they rose/fell in the rankings based on last year's (Nov. 24, 2023) rankings, which can be found here. NEW means it's their first time entering in the top 20. The gray numbers in parenthesis indicate how much fanworks it gained since last year.

Stella Firma ranks 21st in the rankings this year, dropping 5 places from last year. (Figured they deserve a special mention since The Magnus Protocol is technically under The Magnus Archives).

Still keeping A. Walker, et. al. as is for the f@tt fans.😂❤

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

ETA: Typo at Rank 15! Campaign dropped 1 rank, not 3. Sorry about that!

[madzwashere]

I think all of us that listen to audio dramas should kiss right now.
