Trains dont like when you pet their underside because their vital organs are there. Even a train that trusts you won't expose its stomach. They only tolerate it when mechanics do repairs and check ups on them. People who crawl under a train for a joke stress them out immensely... Don't do that....

Trains like when you pet their sides and their corpus from the inside. I strongly advice against crawling on top of a train, especially if it's an electric train. It's stressful for them because their sensitivite antenna is there and they can't see on top of themselves. Also you will fall off.

i've always wanted to visit the beautiful city of chicago because i love their citation style

[agentplutonium]

The trope where people don't recognize each other because it's been so long since they last interacted and they've both changed so much that they're basically strangers UNTIL one of them does their Signature Thing™ and the other just stops dead because oh. It's YOU. All at once it's so clearly you

*trying to solve a friend's problem* hmmm. well you could use me as a blade, perhaps? and slay your enemies? just a thought

"Engage with black people", I'm gonna be so real with y'all right now, some people are not really for engaging with black people as they believe themselves to be.

Some people think they are and they wanna make the effort to do so but that's until they realise that doing so means actually understanding where said black person is coming from.

Blackness and the way it is treated by others in any field is not easy to navigate and a lotta people don't get that. It means allowing yourself to be educated through their POVs, giving them space to exist as your peer and to show you what they can do, as well as understanding that being black has not always been the prettiest experience for others.

Some people want a black person on their team, they want to be their friend and they want to support them but don't want to actually take the time, do the work and stand on business for all of that.

It don't just end with a black square or saying the right things to not get called a racist flat out. It actually requires recognising where spaces you cultivate are failing black people, it requires that you be willng to recognise where you have biases and seeing where your behaviours are adversely affecting the same black people you want to engage with.

Some people wanna be friends but they don't want to work on the friendhship, and yes, friendship does require work, the work just looks different depending on who you're talking to

In honour of nothing and purely because I want to talk about the things that I enjoy:

My no. 1 favourite audio roleplay characters & listeners from various creators & why (ft. My fanart)

1. Redacted Audio

Gotta start with the channel that truly got me into the audio roleplay genre. This channel is like a gateway drug(/j/lh) for a lot of people.

Speaker: Imperium!Vega

Just how different he is from his canonical counter part is so very interesting to me. Especially since the premise of the Imperium is “if just a few things went a little differently”. His growth as a character with & because of Pet also interests me greatly. I also just really enjoy speaker/listener pairings with interesting power dynamics

Listener: Darlin’ (a.k.a Tank)

Tank is a listener with a lot of potential for different and interesting dynamics between speakers, both romantic and otherwise. Their past with the Shaw pack and joining late, the loss of David’s father and the “Quinn-cident” are all things that affect who they are and how they see the world and I appreciate that much character to a role that usually gets left relatively blank to allow more people to put themselves in their place.

1. Good Boy Audios

Incidentally someone I started watching because of Redacted! It took me longer than I’d like to admit to realize GB was actually British.

Speaker: Albus (Bastard Warrior series)

Albus is brash, crude and just flat out mean when you meet him. Through his story you get to see him soften around the corners and develop relationships with people who care about him, and see him care in turn…. Big angry/mean guy who secretly cares… hmmm

Listener: Faithful (Bastard Warrior series)

What can I say, I love Bastard Warrior. Faithful is such an interesting listener because not only does she go through her own hardships and growth as a character (god how I love interesting listeners) but she becomes a speaker character by the end! This is practically unheard of in this genre and is a really interesting creative choice. I love a woman in uniform. /lh/j

3. Auth/Soma ASMR

Another talented creator I found as a direct result of a Redacted collab. He’s so busy tho, hope he’s doing okay out there😔😔/lh

Speaker: Leo

I’m gonna be so real with y’all, this one is purely for thirst… DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT-/j/lh He’s a werewolf, he’s a dom, he’s a freak (like that and not like that) And within three video I’ve been given just enough story to keep me thinking about him… *checks notes* 2 years after he disappeared off the face of the earth/lh/j

Listener: N/A

I wouldn’t say there’s any real stand out listeners for me

4. Atonal ASMR

I love Atonal’s work. Like it’s actually crazy how much I enjoy it. I found them when YouTube looked a me, looked at my watch history and went “I know what you are😒” and now he’s one of my go-tos when I recommend people.

Speaker: Gideon

He was my first Atonal character and I love a polite little guy. I mean look at him!!! He’s so nice! And caring!! And silly!!!!! Genuinely such a calming character & series. There was a period where I would just put his playlist on when I needed to sleep.

Listener: Medusa

You mean WE get to play the cool interesting creature???? With a mystery behind our origins, oh Atonal, how you spoil the audience.

5. ZSaku VA

Man I remember when I first got into Saku (that is a lie, I think it was YouTube recommendations, could have also been from TikTok who knows). God he is so talented I’m genuinely jealous/lh

Speaker: Xanthus

This is another case where he was my first Saku character and I am just really attached. I really like the dynamic he has with his listener and his story interests me greatly. I am not ready for his story to end.

Listener: Pet

A recent standout in the Sakuverse line up but a beloved one for sure! I LOOOOOOOVE unique listeners and Pet is definitely in a league of their own/derogatory(/j/lh) This strange creature is thought provoking to say the least. (No one is allowed to say a WORD about how 3 of my all time favourites have something to do with listeners named pet)

6. Escaped Audios

The famous creator of such gems as Sneaky Goblin Ruins everything, Not in Front of Dinner Darling and You “Accidentally” Stomp on Stuart Little, I’m pretty sure I found out about his existence from the various pieces of fanart I saw on the hell site.

Speaker: Basher (Slash & The Basher series)

You can’t give me a weirdo and not expect him to be a favourite! His story is a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the premise. I got a thing for freaky deaky dudes/pos/lh

Listener: Slash (Slash & The Basher series)

It might be because I like the series as a whole so much but Slash is such a fun listener to me, like “yeees serial killer!! Kill those guys!” /j I seriously need to watch the “My True Love is Dead” premiere.

7. Castle Audios

I am so embarrassingly behind on Castle but GOD is her stuff good.

Speaker: Genevieve

I cannot quantify what or why but I love her so much.

Listener: Knight

Same as Evie I’m just so attached to these little guys/gn

8. Mr. Laveau

A friend of mine and an incredibly talented creator, it makes it so hard to just pick one favourite in each category. I remember when their very first episode came out and I fell in love with their world & story telling.

Speaker: Uriah (Bloodmoon series)

She is the moment, the icon and the very first character Veau ever posted I love Uriah so much I feel crazy sometimes y’all don’t even get it. He needs to come home IMMEDIATELY.

Listener: Cher (Bloodmoon series)

Cher is so complex and every time I feel like get a handle on who they are/what they do next I’m bamboozled. Yet another unique listener, oh how I love you.

biologist here! why are plants green? well they suck up air from the sky (blue) and mix it with the sunlight (yellow) i fucking love science.

[agentplutonium]

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

[agentplutonium]

Now I'm not saying that JD Vance killed the Pope, per se. I just think his actions raise some questions, like for example: Did JD Vance kill the Pope?

[agentplutonium]

Yeah i have a dark past (being 13). Just an absolutely horrible backstory (being 13). It would keep you up at night if i told you about it (i was 13 one time)
