Audio drama folks who don't use spotify......where do you listen....

[codexnuminous]

Sometimes I like to scroll tumblr and play a game i call "is this an utterly incomprehensible thought that someone has had at 3 in the morning, or is it the plot to a lesser known audio drama?"

Is there any reason why your horror is wet (rain in eskew, evil river god, saltwater and hands dripping from a throat) or is it just coincidence? Or being British, i guess that could be the reason as well, given how much it rains there

When I was a small child I had a near-drowning experience (no fratricide involved, I was pottering about and fell backwards into a pond) and I'll always remember the strange comfort and eerie wonder of that moment - the world of the living becoming a small, distorted circle of golden light, surrounded by tendrils and darkness and incomprehensible noise rising up on all sides around me.

But on the other hand - even in your question, I think you spell out the thematic richness and complexity of water as a horror element. Rain as a soundtrack for the monotony and relentlessness of depression in Eskew. Rivers as symbolic of natural cycles, human exploitation, offerings and takings. The ocean as the embodiment of vast and uncaring cosmic horror, but also a lure for the adventurous amidst the very human desire to try and find ourselves in the unknown. Bogs and marshlands as devourers and preservers, lurking wounds of the past. Flooding as the shattering of our social and architectural boundaries. Water is reflection and abyss, lifegiver and source and ending.

Wet horror fucking rocks.

I've asked these before but I want to ask them again to see how people's answers have changed over time. I'd also like if people would reblog this post as an opt-in to being asked these specific questions.

1. What virtue do you most often see in other people that you feel comparatively deficient in?

2. Show us an object in your daily life that you have an emotional attachment to - tell us a little bit about it if you want! (a favourite mug perhaps? socks with a cute pattern? dealers choice)

3. If you could choose, what level of fame would you want? How many people would you want to recognise you?

4. Where do you feel language is least adequate to capture, communicate, or express your experience?

5. If you had to come up with a question with the following criteria: a) it should disuade knee-jerk reaction answers (i.e. it shouldn't be something people are likely to have spent a lot of time considering before) b) it shouldn't be too specialised (the audience should be general, don't ask about people's top 3 byzantine spice merchants opperating between 754AD-816AD) c) it shouldn't be needlessly emotionally charged or divisive d) it should be a question you expect people to have lots of varied opinions about What would your question be?

6. Do you feel like you have a coherent and cohesive worldview? If so, could you summarise it? If you had to pick 4 texts to represent it, which would you choose?

7. Think of a topic that somebody close to you has very different feelings about from your own--it can be the smallest, most trivial matter of taste or something weightier if you like--what do you think is the relevant difference between you and this person that explains your different takes on that topic?

8. What are the kinds of magic you most wish for, or the laws of reality that you most wish could be overcome? What would this allow you to become?

9. Do you have a notion of religious/ spiritual experience? If so, what does it mean to you? Have you ever had one?
