Progress Post, June 2025

Index (vol. 1), our debut album, is nearing completion! As of this month, half the songs are finished. We are definitely going to be able to release this in 2025, but I dare not specify a date quite yet.

We're so looking forward to sharing these songs with you! In the meantime, enjoy this color-coded spreadsheet:

Sharp-eyed readers will notice that some of our teaser singles are marked incomplete here--there will be new versions of all three on the album. Watch this space for related news later this month~

Faramir in courtly dress. I based it mainly on Byzantine fashion but also partly on (very related) Medieval Arabic fashion. Gondor is very explicitly Byzantine inspired after all.

I finally put all my ‘One regular character in a world of muppets’ edits into a single post. 😂

Enjoy.

Grace Petrie I am not upset I just want to talk

Toronto to Ohio:

To Vancouver:

Vancouver to Chicago:

Halfway between Chicago and Colorado is approximately Omaha:

Into Minnesota is, finally, at long last, directly north!

But you can't really go down through North Dakota from there, which would also not be North anyway:

Grace Petrie I think you should fire your tour manager.

My car is getting serviced and this auto shop has a shop dog and he's ridiculous. Look at this guy. This is a grown ass man.

That's me! Please enjoy this photographic evidence of the most nervous I have ever been in my life 😅

I said yes! Cleverly disguised as a photoshoot, @samwisestouthearted got us into a beautiful room with a piano and said, “now let’s do some pictures with me at the piano.” I thought, that’s weird, she doesn’t play piano. Then she began playing Grace Petrie’s “On The Road To BC” with new lyrics she had written about us–it turns out she’d been practicing the necessary three chords in secret! I managed to hold it together when she sang, “I’m ready,” and no moment could have been more special than when she played her last chord and got down on one knee.

I was good for nothing except surprised, joyous laughter for the rest of the evening.

In 2024, scientists discovered seven new species of frogs in Madagascar. Because the whistling sounds these species made resembled the sounds of communicators from the Star Trek universe, it was decided to name the species after the seven legendary captains: Boophis kirki, Boophis picardi, Boophis siskoi, Boophis janewayae, Boophis archeri, Boophis pikei, and Boophis burnhamae.

So, meet the Boophis kirki I needle-felted for this year's Winter Fandom Kombat! ✨
