Superbunnykid94 of the world come on the pod to talk about your selfship chara oc please 🙏

many many many such cases

Posted just over a week ago, we talk about what characters would be what major arcana if they were in a deck of tarot cards! Morg can’t stop talking about cards I guess between this and spindlewheel

[checkoutthisguy]

and finally we are caught up to.... well the episode posted yesterday!

We talk about merch baby! Well, not OUR merch, that's for bigger podcasts. We're out here imagining a world where our guys are big enough to get stuff made about them like various knicknacks and plushies. We spend too long on body pillows so there's that!

Between this and Gacha Game Shithell... maybe we have a problem?

Episode 35 was the last time we talked about Grey Pollen, and I didn't have a good grouping for this one. This is almost a stand alone within the same world as Emory's Grey Pollen universe as morg and quatre (and later not on this episode izzy) make their own Grey Pollen ttrpg characters that are played in a little makeshift game run by Emory!

It's been every other week since around this episode's creation back in September, and it's still being played so there's definitely new things about our guys since this ep!

As sort of a companion piece to the lost and weird grab bag episode, I (morg) also had an episode where I talked about my teenage super original creation, Paper Maria. Yes despite the name it's more about my shit and not bowiugi i'm sorry to the fans

but this pairs well with us talking about....CANON GUYS?????

we talk about... borrowing characters indefinitely. which also fits with the interstitial campaign from the last post where Dan and Pat were guests since that is a game where you are encouraged to yank guys for yourself.

guest episodes

The duo Dan and Patrick, who are part of the reaper Olympics that emory ran. As far as I know, Reaper's Olympics hasn't had it's own episode since allllll the way back in episode 6 but Emory has brought up some of the events as well as Emm the Bun who is best known from that (and Sonic Forces). If that doesn't ring a bell, listen to the ep again it's fun!

They also have their own singular eps that came out recently:

Dan @biggerchallenge episode about the ISPS from the isoverse all the lights in the sky campaign. I’ll probably do a future post with these grouped together in the future but here it is for now:

Patrick @shadowsandbag came on to talk about guys he made during conventions! Typically oneshot characters:

A separate one below from Symbolic Godzilla from our discord talking about the eidolon campaign I’m in playing Frankie (episode 43)

Grab bag/questions for us

How it started vs how it's going type of guys:

Artfight conversation from last year where I posted some beautiful pics that I could find on tumblr (watch out for more possible artfight art this year?):

Morg and Izzy talk about various things regarding OCs including things we wrote as teenagers for a certain writing contest:

Short sleepy grab bag where we toss questions at each other like what various digimon partners of our guys would be:

going back for more vtuber mecha vampire "shithell" universe

Sooo does anyone remember these episodes where we talked about a shared setting we were making? We had first started in episode 20 with making a guy who sucks, then making a generic anime girl that’s actually 4 characters as a vtuber in ep 25, THEN giving them a mech to do dance battles in episode 34. Then finally we dipped our toes into a VR space that’s sort of a wild makeshift game of Street Magic in episode 40.  

Well. We sort of named it. And it might be called SHITHELL.... and we gave it a gacha component. Woops! I'm not sure how to market this on the tumblr

And we may or may not be combining them with a previous universe from the mind of host Izzy?

(the first part of the grab bag is about this, but I do repost this in another post)

Random Generated episodes!

We made some episodes based on random generators we found online. We cooked some guys up and served them on a platter for y'all to see the creative process! These were so much fun and we will definitely do more!!

AUs of our guys smooshed together

Starting off!

Episodes where we have brought in some of our OCs and put them in funny situations together:

Fusion episode where we try to do funny media fusions like gems and dragon ball fusions and figure out what that new guy would be like.

The beach episode obviously you GOTTA have one

This one pairs well with the gas station/coffee shop AU we made if we’re talking about fanfic tropes. But they’re more uh. Chaotic? Less “there was only one bed” and more “oh god too many housemates”.

How our characters would act online! What kind of social media or blog presence they might have, what kind of vibe they try to put out, and what kind of copypastas they might make (see the episode description)

Oops more fanfic tropes we try to ship our characters from other universes by randomly rolling a die to make some combos. It goes about as well as you might expect! Also its ep 69 nice!

Smooshing our characters into a band together to make them preform (see next post I am going to repost with a link to our docs)

In order to speed up some of the catching up process and maybe group some ideas together, I have taken the time to break up the following 23 episodes (yikes!) into some posts that feel right together.

Though posted in July of 2024 partly because we can't stop talking about being queer and partly because it was for pride month, but now that it's being posted for trans day of visibility 2025 feels right honestly too! Listen to all 4 hosts in this one
