i've talked before about how i'm obsessed with the jane/sophie/omikron/evelyn's ghost dynamic but i'm just now listening to the season 1 au episode and i'm losing my whole entire mind. the way sophie and jane's memories of evelyn conflict with each other and how physical that's made with other!evelyn actually present with them! sophie minimising her relationship with evelyn and being adamant that she didn't have the type of relationship with him where he would have proposed to her but jane went ring shopping with him! and through it all there's this horrible spectre looming over the three of them of what sophie did to evelyn that only jane remembers!

and the thing is evelyn has never actually shown up in the show. there is no flashback moment where we get an objective view of him. we have only ever seen reflections of him twisted by the imperfect and biased memories of other people. he's this blackhole that distorts the whole narrative around him and light can enter but it can never leave.

like people talk about deaths and absences that shape the narrative but who is doing it like the pasithea powder! who is haunting the narrative like evelyn glass!

I've been struggling about what to write for my wrap-up post on the Pasithea Powder but overall I just really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

It's a story that feels lived in. The main characters have a lot of history between them, and that comes through in the details that they share. There was a war, in the abstract, but we hear in specifics about pensions and training and taking a shower afterward. There are constellations of offhand details that build the characters into people.

The main characters are also incredibly messy. I'm talking war crimes and medical malpractice - they've hurt people on a grand scale but also deeply wounded each other in ways that only become fully apparent over time. If you're into acquaintances to enemies to allies to friends to lovers to enemies to allies to.... (rinse and repeat) this delivers. Instead of a will they or won't they plot fueled by meaningless drama, there's a lot of real baggage between these two.

TPP does what I love most about speculative fiction, which is taking real issues and adding unreal elements that really let them dig in and explore. What if you could make your memories disappear? What if they came back, embodied? How do you work through grief when these things are happening? While there are major stakes going on in the plot, the core of it is two women processing the terrible things they've done to each other, themselves, and the people that they love.

Usually I'm picky about audio quality and voiceacting, and there are some issues with both with bit parts, but the rest of it is so good that I don't even care. They even recorded and produced an even more fucked up AU of their own story. What more can you ask for.

Thinking a lot about Stories from Ylelmore and how you can read Keryth's development as a case of a child who was told that they were BAD at a thing when infact they were REALLY fuckin good but misunderstood and extremely discouraged

[aclickbaittitle]

I had so much fun listening to the lastest ep of Stories From Ylelmore, I just listened through again. All I can picture is Keryth being squished by Wolfri, who looks like this but giant:

I agree Elas, death by tail fluff (or any kind of wolf pup fluff) doesn't sound like a bad way to go at all!

(Also I was squealing for toe beans right along with Keryth omg).

full disclosure: whenever the stories from ylelmore end tune comes on, my brain goes full amv/anime ending mode imagining the kids in chibi form doing a little choreographed dance

[aclickbaittitle]

I spent some time today drawing character designs for Camlann, so here's Morgan and Perry.

[aclickbaittitle]

I suppose we can safely assume horses are still a thing, then

[aclickbaittitle]

Myrddin the story weaver

"You're puppeting us around your fantasy whilst you get to run away and pretend to be someone you're not."

Go listen to Camlann it's so much fun and all the characters are honest with each other about the role they are playing in the story

What I learned on Camlann stream today

[aclickbaittitle]

Hey guys so this is my Roman Empire

​A mix of the good old fashion Juno Steel with a mix of the new Juno who has a little less self loathing because he's finally learned to love himself just a little more, even if it's only barely noticeably so

[aclickbaittitle]

Don't know if this has been pointed out before but Aurinko means Sun in Finnish and Ilkay means First Moon in Turkish so Buddy and Vespa are literally sun and moon lesbians

[aclickbaittitle]

on episode 4 of the penumbra podcast and all I’ve gotta say is that agent who wasn’t really an agent should get back with juno and rita deserves better

[aclickbaittitle]

and on today's episode of what's up with the Ruby 7 ?

yeah... it's not good folks
