THE TYRANNY OF THE SUN IS OVER

[anodyne-audio-dramas]

the whole flesh garden episode of tma hit me very deeply as someone who's trans, has struggled with an ed, and has chronic illness, but the one line in that whole episode that made me stop in my tracks? the one that made my heart freeze and my eyes widen for a second because they were words that, in one form or another, i had repeated in my head over and over and over, words i had used to make myself smaller, make myself quieter, make myself less noticeable and less annoying and more palatable to others? the line that even now in the months after hearing it repeats in my head in jonathan sims's voice and makes me go cold all over?

to be wanted, you must be less.

glad i'm a hit with the tma fans because i made exactly one (1) deep post

[anodyne-audio-dramas]

"i'm finding it harder to find straight characters :(" wow imagine not having a single character you can relate to because on a very deep and intimate level they are absolutely nothing like you and they never will be.

that must really suck buddy.

can't imagine.

Good job audio drama creators let's keep it up 👏

william a. wellman decided we all needed a transmasc character who had his mouth physically sewn shut to represent how he was ignored silenced and dehumanized by everyone who should've loved him and then sent him an undead nonbinary to rip out the stitches of his oppressive past and allow him to find his voice and a family and a lover and

y'know what

they were fucking right so thanks mx. wellman we love you

percy reed from hello from the hallowoods was my trans awakening. like, sure there's other characters i look back on and i'm like "they make me feel more trans" but then there's percy who had me waking up in a cold fucking sweat at two am like "holy shit i'm trans."

podcast quotes that slap

-"peter nureyev, looking like a night in stolen armor."

-"yes, martin, you are my reason."

-"in your mind, beauty and sentience are mutually exclusive."

-"Like the part of me with the short fuse and the bruised knuckles had a name and that name was Sarah Steel, and every time I felt you in my hands, or heard you in my voice it was a sign that my days were numbered."

i think i'm now what the kids call, an internet sensation.

i really like Hive too. i have good chunks of it memorized and my best friend hates it because i'll randomly just go. "i. itch. deep beneath my skin-" and he's like "oLiVeR nO"

hey, guys, i don't know about you, but as a poet, the magnus archives drives me fucking wild.

like, in 'revolutions', the stranger's statement made me rant to my friend for an hour. all the lines follow an up-and-down-and-around-and-round sort of cadence. it follows the turn of the merry-go-round. the running in circles. the futile dance.

and i remember getting chills at the line that still plays over and over and over in my mind:

*so turn with the turn of the merry-go-round and dance to its jolly old song. who will you be, with a name or three, and a stranger's face worn wrong?*

[anodyne-audio-dramas]

me: *interacts with literally any piece of jonathan sims's writing*

my autism, rising from the void: you called?

it's three thirty am and i fucking can't

Currently exploring the possibility of Juno Steel with gauges in my mind. Would recommend

[anodyne-audio-dramas]

Juno Steel is like James Bond but if he had one eye and was depressed and also consumed weird Martian relics often and lacked magnetism Hm actually I feel like Juno really isn't like James Bond at all except for the artificial suave but he's hanging on to that for dear life

[anodyne-audio-dramas]

Juno and Peter, literally swappin spit in their bedroom:

Jet, falling from a vent in the ceiling: apologies.

[anodyne-audio-dramas]
