I know I never use this account anymore, but... look, come on. TANIS is my roots, and TANIS is where I spent an awful lot of my creative energy in High School, and YES obviously John Wick is probably going to beat out Nic, but you have to understand, Nic is so Hunt-aligned. Be a pal, guys, and help my boy win.
Nic Silver (Tanis)
"TANIS is a podcast that refuses to end about a hunt that refuses to end about SOMETHING that may or may not actually exist, and Nic is the main character and the main hunter. He's constantly stumbling through forests and into cults and conspiracies for the purposes of an endless, seemingly pointless chase for 'Tanis', an eldritch location/force/thing that is never really defined. He pursues the goal of finding Tanis to his own massive detriment, both mental and physical, and even though he's been doing it for five long seasons, he never seems any closer to his goal OR any more inclined to give up."
John Wick (John Wick)
"His entire life has been spent hunting. He took contracts to kill before trying to get out of that life, and from the first movie he hunts down those who wrong him. He can’t stay away from it no matter what, it’s in his blood. He also spends all four movies being hunted by (usually) The High Table. He is both Hunter and Hunted. In John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum there’s a quote that’s something like “Do what you do best, John. Hunt.”"

Tanis and the Magnus Archives
Nic Silver is the Archivist that Jonah Magnus deserved. He won't help you achieve immortality, but listening to one of his interminably long pauses will sure as heck feel like eternity in a ruined world

I have this head canon that in-universe in The Black Tapes and Tanis, none of Nic’s friends or coworkers have ever seen him and Terry in the same room. Everyone’s in on the joke that Nic isn’t real, oh it’s just a weird thing Terry does to make himself more ~mysterious~, but Alex and Paul indulge him because they think it’s funny.

TBTP Characters As John Mulaney Quotes
Because of reasons (those reasons being one, I’ve watched John Mulaney specials too many times; two, I love @tmileseason3fanfic so very much; and three, this is a conversation I’m willing to start).
Alex Reagan
Richard Strand
Nic Silver
Tannis Braun
Coralee Strand
Howard Strand
Simon Reese
Ruby Carver
Thomas Warren
Further suggestions?

Richard Strand: I think my family is connected from some creepy death cult and that my father was into shady business, and also that someone is watching me
Also Richard Strand: The conclusion that you’ve come to that the man who has been stalking me and who you watched take my coffee away, might have some sinister intentions, is in fact illogical and should be disregarded as jumping to conclusions.

Nic’s therapist: you’re having weird sleep issues? Let’s try hypnosis, a harmful and useless practice that hasn’t been widely approved of in decades
Alex’s Doctor: sleep issues? You’re too stressed, girl. HavE yOU TRieD WeeD?!

I can feel all the Black Tapes podcast love coming baaaaaack.
And know what I really want to do? Do a communal relisten where we gather on discord, play and listen all together, and maybe (probably) imbibe some choice beverages.
Would anyone be interested in bringing this back? There’s some old drinks I made up: https://surely-you-jess.tumblr.com/post/162221422093/if-i-was-in-the-black-tapes

The Black Tapes season 3 is gone from the Internet
I saw a mention of it and checked Apple podcasts - they’re gone! Maybe it means they’re going to post a new version of it as it’s been years since it ended...????
Anyway if you’re looking for the old season 3, I found this Dropbox link on reddit https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ta0x47nbzuqpxik/AACHnFffogQPV416oZww-89ya?dl=0

WOW all of this tbtp s-3 stuff is… so much to take in.
if only we were surprised by this level of bs
the worst part is that I still have SO many tbtp/tanis WIPs stashed away in my google docs… if anyone wants to know how lovelorn i was back in 2016/2017 hmu i can share just how tender and revealing the material i was writing at that point was lmao
if there is a genuine fandom revival coming im all for it. someone’s gotta read the fic where MK and Ruby hook up, OR the fic where alex gets to rid the world of strand’s grief beard, OR the fic where the trip alex and strand take to his former honeymoon suite turns out a little differently, OR the fic where alex does earnestly try to solve her insomnia by smoking up, OR the fic where geoff is, in actuality, a werewolf and very sincerely in love with nic
