Imagine you're a kid at oxford in 1983 and you're walking to class one day and you see a stoat from Ukraine (who has a higher GPA than you) squeeze past you to get to class with a little backpack on. Wild.
Worlds Beyond Number is wild because Brennan Lee Mulligan uses every ounce of his philosophic and empathetic learnings to create the most heartrending situations and scenes
Then, like an emotional devastation katamari, this fucker picks up THREE whole ass other people like him. Lou Wilson, who will make you cry while you’re in the middle of laughing. Aabria Iyengar, who is a fucking genius and dives full ass into her character’s flaws because your heart will die of a thousand cuts when it all hits. And Erika Ishii. At first blush, a bit of a clown, albeit a sultry one when they want to be. More than happy to play the fool. Lets you underestimate them, so you let them get close, and when you realize how deep you’re in it’s too late
So these FOUR chucklefucks, these four geniuses of humor and tragedy, hire a fucking Maestro of Sound Design in Taylor Moore to produce their home game. And everything is tighter. And even more immersive. And heartwrenching and hilarious and cozy and creepy.
Anyway, this team of FIVE people decide that they’re going to make one of the best podcasts currently airing and it’s only nine episodes in.
@quiddie I have never wanted anything more then for you and Erika to have a Tumblr podcast! I humbly offer names to you and will return shortly with art for your perusal and consideration! Tell Discord what we must do to get this podcast to exist and it SHALL BE DONE! 💙💙💙
Also "Fuck this nerd" is the most bold sentence Aabria has ever said as she plays the nerdiest Wizard I've ever seen outside of Laerryn Coramar-Seelie.
Watching the burrows end epilogue was honestly one of the best things ever, like, Kenji Geoffrey and Rosie??? Lila getting a phd in A YEAR?? Jaysohn being an Olympic level long jumper???? TULA GOING BACK TO HER HOE PHASE??? oh my g od I LOVE THESE STOATS SO MUCH ;-;
Aabria: but the exits are not open and easy. This place is not meant to have an escape plan..you understand truly well that this is the fallback position, and if Last Bast falls, so goes everyone.
I’m not ever getting over that episode of burrows end. Not ever. Especially the conversations in the last 30 minutes. I’m not okay. I’m not okay. I cant wait another week.
