hewwo do you have any interesting facts about lampreys? i think theyre funky & deserve more attention

like all fish, lampreys use gills to extract oxygen out of the water!

you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell this by looking though, because lampreys ALSO completely lack gill slits or coverings like most other fish.

instead, they kinda uuuuuuh just went to Underwater Claire's and got some holes punched in there

yeah. they breathe through those.

you're welcome!

obsessed with the white vault it’s so good it’s like holy shit. the characters especially team fristed..ough and the voice acting and all the different languages being incorporated and the heartbeats and the dawning fear of everything and the isolation and the terrifying sound design and the horror of becoming something new

a list of things i like or notice about don't mind cruxmont, composed at 2 a.m. mid-listen:

(there r spoilers here a lil bit)

gwen's "a-a-and..."/"ah-ahhh..." verbal tic that shines through especially in tense situations or when She Is Lying Or Being Crafty

neal can be super abrasive and rash but also pulls back to gentle concern at a speed of 273627 mph if the situation calls for it and that's real endearing

the sound the sound the sound design. i've said it before and i'll say it again the sheer immersion travis can envelop kaitlyn's worlds in is so excellent

the inherent and ever present agony having of a loved one who is unwell. the crushing guilt of wanting an escape from the overwhelming pressure of being a support. the panic of not knowing if they are okay because you are tired and worn and want a second to yourself but you want them to be okay, just for a little. the weight of bearing another soul. oh man

basically every time neal and colin have a flashback interaction or he talks abt colin i have to take a minute man it hits close to home

that said. They Are Gamers, Your Honor.

the way gwen owns and pursues her goal while acknowledging that there is some level of selfishness to it!!! protags should be selfish!!! i love her for that that was a good part!

the intergenerational dynamic/bond neal and gwen form is so so super good. i love the dry humor they employ with each other in the situation. i love the earnest little "stay safe"s. do you understand. i LOVE them

another thing i mention literally every three to five business days but. dude daniel demerin is literally one of the best underground VAs i love literally every single one of his roles so much and this one is no different. neal my bestie the loml my good time boy

there is a rawness that ka statz employs when conveying things that are very harsh or tragic or intense, and that the voice actors carry to a tangible degree. idk how to describe it but like. okay im dipping into VAST and TWV a little bit here

gwen at the pond. poe in the escape pod. eva's "please find them. please find us." dude i feel those in my core. it's visceral. essay pending on that in particular later ig lol

there is such an air of hostility and suspicion over the whole village and i've been listening with a sense of mild discomfort the whole time which i think really is the intent. superb

also love that neal ends up tussling with children all the time that rocks. i esp like how they give up and indulge him like Man You're Annoying. that's great
