So, there we have it!

Season One is complete (well ... ish). I've had an absolute riot playing Gwen, and it's been so lovely seeing your reactions every week.

To you: thank you for being the most enthusiastic, engaged, and earnest fandom I have ever encountered. Y'all are an absolute JOY.

To the entire team at RQ, to my gorgeous castmates, and to every single writer who worked on this one: thank you, and congratulations.

And to Gwendolyn Bouchard? Well ... Good Luck, Babe!

The Stellar Firma creators are making a brand new show called GOBLINS, and crowdfunding for it launches this Friday!

(I'm just a random podcast fan, but here's all the info I've gleaned. Yell at me if I'm wrong about anything.)

GOBLINS is a scripted comedy podcast written and performed by:

Tim Meredith (Trexel from Stellar Firma and SF's showrunner)

Ben Meredith (David 7 from SF, Elias from The Magnus Archives, Zolf and Grizzop from Rusty Quill Gaming, and Mathias from The Secret of St Kilda)

Imogen Harris (IMOGEN from SF and Helen from TMA)

Jenny Haufek (Hartro from SF)

Amy Dickinson (Number 1 from SF)

*** Additional details under the cut ***

Maddy Searle is working on the show, although I wasn't able to catch what their exact role is. (Sorry!) They edited for Stellar Firma and performed as Vice-Admiral Fun.

Sam Rae is the guest performer in the pilot episode, and it seems like there will be additional guests in future episodes.

THIS FRIDAY, 12th July At 2:00 pm BST, the pilot episode will be released on social media. At 6:30 pm BST, there will be a crowdfunding launch stream on TheBrothersMeredith Twitch channel.

Not many details have been released so far, but the show will feature a lot of English folklore. The main cast consists of two goblins, an elf, a human, and a poltergeist.

GOBLINS is being created independently from Rusty Quill. But I will be tagging RQ anyways because it's relevant to RQ fans, dangit.

I am THIS close to pestering people in their ask boxes just to make sure they've heard.

Ferro My Beloved (A Stexico review)

I watched Expreso Astral (stexico) for the first time and I’m kind of obsessed. There were things I wasn’t crazy about, like cutting a couple of songs, including wide smile\CB, and right place right time. but the things that were great were really great and I was having so much fun that I honestly didn’t notice some of the cuts until the end. Oh my God this is my favorite Rusty. Everything was so on point for him. Physical acting, voice. He was perfect. I was genuinely emotionally moved by starlight express. Something I didn’t expect to say this week. I wish there were more recordings. My friend and I don’t speak Spanish, so what we did was pull up the translations on the wiki. But if you are familiar with at least one of the 90’s productions you don’t really need to know exactly what they're saying at all times to enjoy it. 

Spoilers ahead: 

One notable change is that Rusty or Ferro as he is known here is explicitly stated to be Mexican, and it's one of the things Greaseball (Turbo in this) bullies him about. And there’s something so hilariously fucked up about that. Like Ferro has it bad, he’s gotta deal with twice the oppression, to the point where the song Call Me Rusty is mostly about how he’s Mexican. And then when he goes up to Perla asking if she wants to ride with the fastest engine she’s like “That would be great. Where is he?” Like Jesus, talk about the worst she can say is no. But that won’t stop Ferro because he is a proud Mexican Steam train, and train god prefers him specifically.

Spoilers finished.

 Also, the audience was infectious. They were clearly having so much fun. If you’re a Stex fan and you haven’t seen this, please do. I had this big smile on my face for most of it. I think future productions can actually learn from this one.

A couple other things I wanna shout out. The Rockies were fantastic. Like seriously, keep an eye out for them. They’re amazing. There’s so much great physical comedy in this one honestly everyone was pulling their weight in that regard. There are two additional nationals in this, The Brazilian Engine Carioca and the Argentinian Engine El Pibe. At several points during the races engines will just stop to beat the shit out of each other and I think that’s really funny. Purse and Krupp join the girls during Pumping Iron, and that’s just wonderful. 

One thing I want to point out is that this production has one of the same problems that the new Bochum one does. That being the pearl is clothed entirely in white and silver. When the light shines on her, she becomes blindingly invisible.

In short, this production just further cements my feelings that people who don’t like Starlight Express either saw a really bad production, or just don’t like fun. I was dazzled by this production and it made me fall in love with Starlight Express all over again. 

One last thing. The actor who played Ferro Ricardo Villarreal unfortunately passed away only seven years after Expreso Astral closed in 2005. I can't help but wonder what brought about the death of this talented man at such a young age, but I haven't been able to find any information about what happened. If anyone knows any thing about him or how he died please share what you know. Thankyou.

you dream in fragments—splintered light and fractured memories.

whispers of the summer sun filtering through the forest canopy. long grass and warm sand. old wood and cobwebs. chirping birds and chittering squirrels. the lake lapping at your ankles. the fire warm on your cheeks. sweet candy between your teeth. laughter between your ribs.

the fragments morph. you know the memory cannot stay here. 

you know they cannot stay here. you cannot stay here—

Or: Swann doesn’t fully remember, but she has lived this before.

in light of rahul playing alan wake and control, please look at my remedy / flanagan fancast crossover because its always on my mind

[shitty-tmagp-theories]

New theory. The tape recorders in TMA are the office pets and so are the living cameras in Tmagp

Do you think they’re the same living cameras as from tma 188? Little trans dimensional critters
