Sexiest Podcast Character — Scripted Bracket — Round 2

Propaganda

Antigone Funn (Wooden Overcoats):

An extremely agoraphobic mortician of a local funeral home who has every disease. Nervous wreck. Makes noises when stressed. An artist at heart (her embalming fluid is imbued with the fragrance of cinnamon).

she's the goth gf of your dreams. she's an undertaker, a romance novelist, a hot air balloon pilot, and she has interiority for days

It's antigone or unfollow me

Martin Blackwood (The Magnus Archives):

Canonically fat, usually depicted with glasses and sweaters, always making people tea, dramatic and messy but also vulnerable and full of love

Big guy. Soft voice. Stronk arms. So cute.

I LOVE YOU COMEDY WITH AN EMOTIONAL CORE

I LOVE YOU COMEDY THAT USES OUTRAGEOUS CHARACTERS AND SITUATIONS TO TELL STORIES OF HOPE AND COMMUNITY

I LOVE YOU COMEDY THAT INTRODUCES SEEMINGLY INNOCUOUS DETAILS FOR COMEDIC EFFECT AND THEN HAS THEM COME BACK LATER WITH AN EMOTIONAL GUT PUNCH

I LOVE YOU COMEDY THAT CAN MAKE ME LAUGH AND CRY WITH THE SAME LINE

I LOVE YOU COMEDY

Undertakers Against Blonds

[id: a screenshot of rudyard, antigone, georgie, and madeleine from the wooden overcoats banner, edited so they're all saying a Tumblr post by romanken, which reads, "Daily affirmations. Blond men are the devil's emissaries. Blond men will not enter the kingdom of heaven at their deaths nor will they sing with the rest of god's creatures in his choir. Blond men are a scourge upon this earth and all who consider themselves righteous and holy are bound by honor to hunt them to extinction." end id]

I love how Eric is just 100% down with helping Antigone hide a body after she accidentally kills a man. my girl’s just freaking the fuck out and he’s just “it’s okay, I’ve got this, help me put it out the window while we lie to the cop outside the door”, absolutely iconic

[musicboxghost]

On my first Wooden Overcoats listen through, I always pictured the Funns as looking strange and off-putting. And I loved them. Both the way people treat them and the way they act made it feel logical that they would look a little uncanny valley. A bit spooky. Not conventionally desirable at the very least.

And honestly, it was a bit empowering to think of these characters looking so unseemly but still be absolutely delightful. Because I love Antigone and Rudyard.

BUT. There is textual evidence of them being hot.

-When Madeline mentions how Rudyard photographs well and blind terror to something wonderful to his eyes.

-When the mayor mentions how good Rudyard looks in a suit.

-When Eric makes a deeply licentious, flirty comment about Antigone within seconds of knowing her.

-The local theater director is constantly making moves on Antigone and compares her looks to his beloved (dead) wife.

And that's just within the first few episodes. And honestly?

The Funns being hot is hilarious.

I love the idea that they are so bizarre and macabre and socially inept that thier hotness is totally drowned out most of the time. People look at Antigone, the super model, and thinks she's a ghastly undead creature. People hear Rudyard open his mouth and just see red, completely missing the movie star barking "Now look here".

Eric is a Plain Jane comparatively. And Rudyard being the beauty queen half of that dynamic is so interesting on so many levels. Mr-popular-but-secretly-insecure would immediately clock that his competition is drop dead gorgeous. And it would infuriate him and drive his competitive streak. But also potentially fuel some of the moments of homoerotic tension between them you could potentially read into the text.

It's also kind of liberating in a way. Because It means the Funns' personalities supersede their appearance completely. It's like in Howl's Moving Castle, how Sophie feels liberated by the curse because she's seen for her personality rather than as a sexual object. No magic here though, just two delightfully autistic morticians.

thinking about how Antigone mentioned that the only nice thing anyone had ever done for her was her father giving her an extra sprout at Christmas dinner once and how Rudyard made sure that Antigone got extra sprouts during the Christmas episode

Antigone Funn—iconic, blueprint, mortician queen

basic idea was that her spine gets straighter as the seasons go on and she finds her confidence…shout-out to one of my fave fictional girlies of all time <3

[hephaestuscrew]

A fun thing about me is that I will probably think about Antigone Funn every time I butter a slice of toast for the rest of my life.

[rabbitmotifs]

the little eelmaid. okay.

Sexiest Podcast Character — Scripted Bracket — Round 3

Propaganda

Peter Nureyev (The Penumbra Podcast: Juno Steel):

His character is the reason the term "Homme Fatale" became a thing

Homme fatale, living by the mantra of be gay, do crime. V secretive and just the right amount of flirty. Also I love him

He’s a slutty master thief who slept with a detective he went on 1 date(murder case) with and then fell ass over tea kettle in love. Literally can’t think of anything sexier

Antigone Funn (Wooden Overcoats):

An extremely agoraphobic mortician of a local funeral home who has every disease. Nervous wreck. Makes noises when stressed. An artist at heart (her embalming fluid is imbued with the fragrance of cinnamon).

she's the goth gf of your dreams. she's an undertaker, a romance novelist, a hot air balloon pilot, and she has interiority for days

It's antigone or unfollow me

please, everyone, antigone deserves this. she ghost-wrote a wildly successful erotic novel and then faked the death of the fake author. she didn’t leave her house for 17 years except to go see horny french films every thursday. she accidentally ended up in a love triangle with a hot domme lesbian circus ringmaster and her own employee. she broke up with a doctor after one date because he didn’t respect her career (and also his parrot hated her). she experienced years of carnal yearning for her professional rival only to finally realize she was actually okay on her own. she drinks embalming fluid. she thinks of funerals as an art form. she was diagnosed with depression as an infant. she wanted to be a clown when she grew up. her hero is a historical female scientist who has a statue with her tits out. she’s been attacked by owls. a bunch of children thought she was a forest witch. the rest of the village thought she was dead. she has committed multiple counts of breaking and entering. she designed artisanal chocolates that put you in a temporary coma. she can’t eat her own chocolates because she’s allergic to everything. she attracts shadows like a magnet. she’s a woman in STEM. if you have any love in your heart for goth weirdgirls you’ll do the right thing. ANTIGONE SWEEP

PLEASE VOTE FOR ANTIGONE!!!!!

CMON DON’T LET MY GIRL “CANNONICALLY WANTED BY EVERYONE ON THIS ISLAND” LOSE!!!

Vote Antigone because do you understand how narratively satisfying it would be if she won??? Season one? She could barely go outside her mortuary. Season four? Modeling for a sexy calendar. THE CHARACTER GROWTH!!!!!!! Nothing more sexy than that.
