#ik theyre already legal

[moodr1ng]

its time for my neighbors to die irl btw

[gladiolidiaries]

that talk about the allegations was a mess ngl, im not saying he sexted anyone but i dont think hes being fully honest either.

the way he said he had to check logs to see if he flirted with her or not like how do u not remember that? either he did or he forgot if it was her or one of the other girls since he added multiple

theres more shit in his statement that was weird but u get the point...somethings fishy ik ppl wouldnt want to admit it

before people say im an anti im not but i dont blindly believe him either...either way theyre already cooking his ass on twitter o lord

him calling dreamclay his work snapchat gave me a massive ick ngl, and i don't really like that he acts like he "forgot" who she was or tried to delete her from his IG dms, cause if so then dude... just stop replying? but he still went ahead and gave his snap, like it doesn't really add up to me personally.

the gorgeous comment was definitely not faked in my opinion, so i find it extremely weird that it's suddenly not there in his snapchat data. i have theories about it that i might get into another day or on priv, i'll wait until he posts his actual video with proofs.

was Amanda malicious and manipulated the story, absolutely, did dream groom her, i don't believe so, did sexting occur, i think she may have sent stuff but i don't think he did...

but i wonder why dream waited over a year and made people believe that a legal process was happening and nothing was happening. i think he just knows that his proofs aren't the best and tried to avoid talking about it the longest.

[pineappleciders]

ik i already reblogged but for more info im getting arrested for spreading leaks abt how the goverment is making pedophilia, child abuse and shit like that legal torwards little girls and how theyre making deals with a different goverment party and terrorist. btw i dont regret shit, kiss my ass name i cant say

thank u for your service craig anon u a real one

lalalaaaaa au time. dont tag as ship or i will end you. ik it isnt super original but something something two cakes

the gist: instead of dying later in life, both danny and vlad were stillborns and turned half ghost after being resuscitated. their parents were told they had died and they were shipped off to the pentagon as little babies to be studied. theyre the same ages as in canon, they just grew up differently

they moved to amity park after they escaped because of the high level of ghost activity, wanting to learn more about other ghosts. they don't know about danny's birth parents living there YET. they only got out in like june and the actual story i imagine starts in the september of the same year after vlad and danny learn that its illegal to not have danny in school. they're super unfamiliar with the outside world and are super weird. they're rich but only because they do crimes for money (mostly theft), and because of that and not legally existing, they only use cash

their ghost forms are in medical gear because thats the only environment they've ever known and they can't really conceptualize themselves in anything else. they wear their hair long and down to cover up the spots of hair that the scientists lasered off to have easier access to their brains.

danny learned the ghostly wail early and uses it often enough (along with a few other voice based projectiles) that he's classified as a banshee subtype of ghost. he has very strong projectiles but his punches hit like wet paper bags. vlad is well rounded in his skills and very strong, but he and danny are VERY unused to fighting and are therefore pretty bad at it.

they're eventually nicknamed by the public "the doctor ghost and his patient", eventually shortened to "doctor" and "patient".

they're very close and consider each other family, but they don't put a specific label on it like father and son. every time they hug, it's as if they had been reunited after a war. they're used to being jostled around by scientists and so are very comfortable touching each others' hair, cuddling, etc and dont quite understand other people's physical boundaries for a while. they're protective of each other to the point of violence.

i have more but i already hate when i see posts this long in main tags so i will stop. if you actually read any of this shit thanks man have some choccy milk

[flamediel]

i feel the need to get this off my chest but it kinda grinds my gears when ppl assume the age 17 is like a grace period or something, even tho ur clearly still a minor. anything under 18 is still a minor. that’s just how it works. end of discussion

YEP!! YOU ARE NOT AN ADULT AT 17.

Look. Ik minors can have sex. Ik youre exposed to sexual media everywhere. But heres the thing. Im not comfortable w you consuming the sexual media I create. Riverdale writers can decide its ok to show 16yos having explicit sex and rate it for teens, but I only want 18 year old and older to read my NSFW content. I dont care what the legal age is in your country. I dont care of you think you're mature for your age. If you cannot accept that I don't consent to you reading my content, if you don't block the smut and NSFW tags, YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO BE IN ADULT SPACES.

What you don't understand is that the people telling you not to read smut were once kids who read smut, and went through the process of unlearning the fucked up shit adult fandom communities impart on kids. Some things I personally remember having to deal with:

Sex makes weird noises. It just does. Its awkward and strange and you need to accept that its gonna happen. Assuming it won't fucks w your self esteem

Having hair is normal. Literally most people ive been w do not care, and if a man does hes weird

Kinky sex isn't the norm. Its normal to like it but PLS dont start experimenting unless you're in a stable relationship and trust the person.

Things like choking, spanking, ropes, etc can cause serious damage. I have a friend who got her wrist fucked from handcuffs that were too tight. Make sure the person youre doing it w knows what they're doing, and if youre gonna tie someone up FIGURE OUT HOW. W choking you can't block the air passages or its not gonna be fun. Basically there's a ton that can go wrong and if your partner doesn't have experience and hasn't done the research and wants to try this thats a red flag

Literally if you're trying something new sit down w them and discuss it in detail first so you both know what youre comfy w and whats off limits and ALSO to make sure they know how not to hurt you.

Its super unlikely you'll be able to deep throat the first time and thats fucking normal take your time

If you have a vagina it is not common to be able to cum from penetration alone. More often than not you'll need clitoral stimulation as well

In fact most men don't know how to make a woman cum regardless of their experience. If he's not asking what you like chances are its gonna be shit. Literally tell him what to do if he's not doing it right and stop it if youre not comfortable or happy.

If you have a penis you might cum super fast. Which means if your partner has a penis they'll probably cum before you unless there's been a lot of foreplay

Cumming at the same time is not normal and not doing it isn't a moral failing just make sure to help the other person finish.

The first time you have penetrative sex its gonna feel weird. Esp if the biggest thing thats ever gone in there is a tampon or your fingers, shits gonna hurt. It's not necessarily gonna feel good. You will v likely need to be fingered to build up to the bigger size, esp if theyre big.

Even when you've had sex a lot it can still hurt to have smth inside you. My friend has been dating the same dude for two years now and it still hurts unless there's lots of lube and foreplay. Its normal.

Speaking of lube, USE LUBE. bitch idc how much of a wap you have, unless hes already made you cum you really need it to lessen friction. Use a lube thats water soluble so it doesn't fuck w the condom

Oh yeah, condoms. Unless you've both been tested and aren't fucking anyone else, use one. I dont care if youre on birth control. I dont care if you like it raw. If you don't want an sti USE A DAMN CONDOM.

Also, condoms dont just apply to penetrative sex. You can use them on your hands as gloves or as a dental dam when hes going down on you. The risks of spread is lower but not zero, and its better safe than sorry.

Also use them if youre having anal for the love of God PLS.

Big dick doesn't equal good dick, its about how they use it. If they don't know how to hit the right spots it doesn't matter how big you are. For some people big dicks cause pain actually esp if there's no foreplay.

Overstimulation doesn't always feel good like eventually it can hurt and not in a good way. Dont feel pressured to do it bc its supposed to be fun.

Similarly if you dont like being edged thats fine too.

In general just bc you like smth in fic does NOT mean you're gonna like it irl so like. Dont force anything. And make sure you can always back out when you want

Also feel this goes without saying but RESPECT THEIR BOUNDARIES TOO. This shit goes both ways even if youre the 'sub'

Masturbation can help you figure out what you like but its completely different when there's someone else there bc comfort is a huge part of arousal.

And lastly, you don't have to do ANYTHING until you're ready so don't rush into it bc I swear sex isn't worth it

A good source of sex ed is scarleteen pls go there and NOT tumblr for sex ed

Everyone feel free to add and minors pls dont read adult fic I beg you.

[sad--tree]

How about Leo for that character thing?

ffffuck yes i have to put this one in a readmore bc i got carried away listing like 800 leo quotes 

How I feel about this characterhes one of my favorite royal sibs!!!!! probs tied with elise and takumi? or possibly my most fave?????? i was sad the whole time birthright bc i missed him and elise the whole time,,,, now that im playing conquest im sad bc i miss takumi lol. i love my tomato brother ;w; but he (and xander) is like the funniest fuckin character, oh my god. i love him so much. he makes me cry with laughter half the time he opens his mouth. hes this snarky little snob and he can’t dress himself for shit bc his clothes are always inside out or backwards (me too actually. every time i realize my shirt’s on wrong im instantly like Wow Leo Vibes). i love how in birthiright near the end theres this important emotional scene and hes gotten rid of iago and corrins like “hhhhey leo,,,? ur shirts inside out” and he just goes “DAMN IT.” his shop voice lines sound like a really sarcastic customer service voice. “Welcome. Goodbye~!”. so do xander’s??? i fucking die every time one of them is manning a shop oh my god i love themhis alts in feh make me s c r e a m hes so damn funny and dramatic.summer leo:“[grumbly voice] TANLINES… what, torture.”“If you are disappointed by these results then give me clothes”“Hot… beaches?hHHRRNNNNNN[aHEM], hate them.”“Tropical islands? Forget it! And this swimsuit? [snobby laughing tone] DONT even get me STARTED!”“Hey, if you like tropical islands, that’s fine. Maybe it’s not as bad as[randomly starts laughing???] I say.” like is he trying to be chill about it but just cant hold it together because the very idea of  a tropical idea is so absurd to him ?? hes so fuckign weird i love himGOD my ultimate favorite leo quote ever of all time tho is: “I actually like walking a beach at night. But… swim? In the ocean? [laughter, maybe nervous laughter i cant fucking tell] With my body?!?!???” WITH MY BODY?? i love him what the helland then he does that thing in the lvl40 five star convo where hes like “id be as red as a tomato if i got a sunburn???? fuck, how could i hate the sun if thats the case??? maybe ill go right now-” god hes so weird. i love that line regular leo does thats like “you’d never guess what vegetable really catches MY fancy! ………tomatoes…….”and then picnic leo omg. i probably screamed when i saw he was a free unit this spring i was SO HAPPY [as much as i love summer leo i dont actually have him and i cry that his banner hasnt returned this summer yet ;c]he grumbles when u poke him. he goes MMMMMM when you pick him up to take his turn. he complains about the sun, AGAIN.“i’m not used to this much sunlight! it’s…. nnggggg,,, blINDing..”“[offended voice] why are you being so SNEAKY? THIS is a PICNIC!” HhhhhhHHHHHH god lmao“[very proud voice] How does it taste? It must delicious, given I made it mySELF!” “What about this? I had my retainers prepare it for us.“ ik a lot of people say this contradicts his first line and one of them is a fucking lie, but i like to think this just means he made lunch with odin and niles and they did different parts and it’s soooooooooooooooooo cute to think about him cooking with his boys ;w; also he sounds so proud here too. hes so proud of his retainers and hes like “heh, mine are the best, they made this great food arent they wonderful i love them so much”“You want…to try some of my cooking? [gasp sigh huffy noise??] If you insist…” hes so excited someone wants to eat his cooking but he cant let anyone Know he has emotions lollies down… maybe leo really is my top fave LOL i just love his lines so much. i want to high five his voice actor for the delivery on these lines. that’s not even going into some of his supports in warriors that ive watcheed on youtube [plz everyone needs to see the one with frederick and leo. it always has me in tears. theyre SO FUNNY together ldjsfgbgf]chapter leo of birthright is probs one of my favorite chapters in fates. it was HARD AND ANNOYING but the dialogue made me weepy 

All the people I ship romantically with this characterodin and niles are fave….. they make a cute ot3!! i love how much he appreciates and cares for them and theyre all so good for each other… mr uptight leo and his chaos incarnate retainers to bring out his very secret dorky side… my BOYS!!!  i could go on and on about them for many paragraphs but this is already way too long lmfao oopsi also like leo and takumi of course lol. i havent played revelations yet but ive seen bits of their supports and also i just love the bickering enemies to lovers trope lol. this is my favorite panel from the 4koma comics

My non-romantic OTP for this characteri love the familial bonds between all the nohrian siblings but so far leo and elise is my fave sibling duo,,, but im biased bc so far ive only gotten theirs and camilla/xander’s lol. but even in hoshido i like the younger sibs plus older sibs duos. the idea of closeness in age forming a special bond is cute to me. i also like corrin and leo as having a close sib bond since they seem close in age! i know theres [remembers graveyard chapter of birthright again and starts sobbing] some underlying angst of him envying all the doting on corrin his siblings do and he feels ALONE AND I CRY, but he also was very fond of corrin, and i remember the end of birthright where camilla totally calls him out saying how he was saying how nice it was to get to see corrin again ;w; i’d like to think they were close!and of course i like leo and camilla’s relationship…. thinks about end of birthright and sobs… at least they have each other ;o;i need to get more leo supports actually… i want to see every support convo but theres only so much time CRIES 

My unpopular opinion about this characterIDK if this counts bc i feel like it’s half and half but i am not a fan of shipping corrin specifically with him or any of the other nohrian/hoshidan royals. like i totes get wanting to marry him as a character, buuuuuuut like i personally was not about to do that when our protagonist was his adopted sibling??????????? no thank you?!?!?!?!????? my friends and i read through the s-support convos for all of them on the wiki once and just…died the whole time bc theyre SO AWKWARD AND WEIRD “i was hiding my FORBIDDEN FEELINGS for you, PERSON I THOUGHT WAS MY SIBLING, my WHOLE LIFE, but now that ur NOT MY BLOOD RELATED FAMILY we can GET MARRIED, even tho weve still been calling you sister/brother casually this whole game” i CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY IT’S WEIRDDDDDDDand like i dont think thats really an unpopular opinion but i see enough corrin/royals art to think it’s unpopular enough i guesstho i imagine there are some people that chose to marry the royal sibs and also think it’s weird but they just love the character and sat there like “ew stop dont talk about  that” loltho some people are like “it’s not technically inc/est-” like,,,, it kinda still is tho HHHH GROSSANYWAY

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.I mean with all video games i wish bein gay was more legal. i want to s-support all the royals to their counterparts. let leo hold takumi’s hand, which would probs turn into a competition of who can squeeze the hardest until they break each other’s bones bc theyre stupid, but plz. i want this. let hoshido and nohr form ultimate peace bc all their royal fams married.also i dont know the full situation with forrest bc i havent unlocked him but from what ive heard i wish leo was nicer about CERTAIN THINGS in their…. i guess recruitment chapter ? supports? i hear in some of japan’s dlc or a drama cd or something he comes around and is more accepting but still, if that’s not the case in US game i wish it WAS!!!ALSO i wish the sibs could have support convos with each others kids. like even if it was just the main royals kids getting to talk to their aunts and uncles i think that’d be CUTE !!!!!WAIT ALSO on the wiki, leo, niles, and odin all have unused quotes from the endgame. it seems like theyre in the part of the game where you got knocked the fuck out and hung out in the afterlife for a bit with ur dead friends and family and then everyone in the real world is shouting at u to get up off ur ass and come finish the fight. im wondering if that means leo and his retainers were originally supposed to join you in your final battle, even tho you were siding with hoshido? i wouldve loved that and cried twice as hard.....

[gayspock]

you seem to listen to a lot of podcasts, so i was wondering what you’d recommend? the only one i’ve listened to is taz, and i want to get into more

anon. rip. bc this is 10 million yearss late bc. tumblr kept crashing until i got the sense to just type it into a word doc.

also its super long. im sso sorry.

MCELROY PODCASTS

if you’ve listened to taz, you’ve prolly already heard of my brother, my brother and me (given that’s where taz started off) you might wanna try it!! obviously it isnt, like, a fictional podcast so that might not be for you BUT!! its fun. light-hearted and with familiar voices.  in case u havent heard what its about, basically they describe it as a comedy advice show - wheere they take sent in questions, and also yahoo answers questions, and give “advice” based off of them. its  the kind of thing i like to put on, on a low energy kinda day.  i would suggest, if u wanna listen to the back log, to start at the end and work backwards bc  (like many podcasts, truthfully) its kinda. blech in Many ways to begin with.

there’s, of course, lots of other podcasts done by the family too!! ive only listened to wonderful (the others never appealed that much) which is a very casual podcast where griffin and his wife talk about the things they find “wonderful” (it’s very cute, and rachel has the most soothing voice, so its Perfect bedtime material) however if u wanna explore the others theres a List on their site: https://www.themcelroy.family/pages/podcasts

OTHER ACTUAL PLAY PODCASTS

i havent listened to a lot of other actual play podcasts myself, but if ur interested in them !!! i have a like... a FEW suggestions. theyre not my forte, i will be honest- ive only listened to two of them, and i didnt finish neither (though that wasn’t the fault of the podcasts, but other personal stuff - mostly my focus, as they demand a little more attention)

something i would say, if ur  considering them, is that taz is definitely a lot more lax when it comes to gameplay and so like. BE PREPARED FOR PPL ACTUALLY ODFJODDFOJ PLAYING GAMES AND DROLLING DICE A LOT, which might sound obvious but Listen. its something i think should still come with some Fair warning, because ik i personally listened to taz more for the story. ofc if u Like the gamestuf, then these will deffo be fine for you (you might even like em More) but !! if thats not the case, sometimes gameplay can be too intrusive its like ehhh. yknow. a preference thing.

1. friends at the tableif ur a taz fan, and ur looking for other actual play stuff, i am LEGALLY obligated to suggest friends at the table. griffin is a big fan of it himself, and recommends it - and im pretty sure, he also took a lot of inspo from it. ive personally only  listened to season 1, and part of season 2, but i did enjoy both very much!! however, despite its Influence, it is very different taz. although they do split the party up (and then alternate between  povs, per episode) most of the time, they have WAY more players than taz.

structurally.... it might seem a little complicated!! in the same way that it might be confusing to others, how taz skips about after balance ended. but basically they alternate between storylines each season, just to mix things up-

season 1: winter in hieronseason 2: counter/weightseason 3: marieldaseason 4: autumn in hieronseason 6: twilight mirageseason 5: spring in hieron(yes the last two... come in that order. and i am Sorry about it.)

seasons 1, 4 and 5 are related, of course! these seasons are VERY fantasy based. they explore the same cast of characters, and continue on from each other, and are set in the same world.meanwhile season 3 is related to seasons 1,4&5 but it’s a prequel! its set, like, a few hundred years before the events in hieron, in a city of marielda and as such it features an entirely diferent cast. you can absolutely listen to it by itself!!!!

seasons 2 and 6 are the scifi seasons!!! both seasons 2 and 6 are set in the same universe, however in the same way season 3 is diferent from 1,4,&5, both seasons 2 and 6 ... are totally unrelated! :3 im p sure twilight mirage... actually comes 30,000 years after season 2.

although i listened to it (and i can.. g into greater Detail about what its like if u want, but this post is LONG ENOUGH already tbh)  a LOT of people strongly suggest skipping season 1.  its very rough to begin with. there’s an episode or two that was releseaed between counterweight and marielda that  basically is a supercut of everything that happened during s1,, and that should be enough to catch you up.  (altho u could still Brave it like i did)

INSTEAD... there is an actual 15 minute long discussion done by austin and ali that does serve as an Introduction, and as a guide to where you might like to start. however if u dont wanna listen to that... i hear MOST ppl suggest marielda, or counterweight to begin with. the former is fantasy and the latter is scifi, as i said.

personally i eally wanna get into marielda - but i dont got the time. and i did listen to  countwrweight, tho i will warn you thats also slow to begin with, before they switch up their game system - and also... it is VERY lore dense!! i dropped it bc of my own focus issues, honestly (and again im crying i would go more intto that but!! this is a LONG post already).

2. critical rolethis is another podcast i had to drop bc of personal issues with focus! :3 however, i know a lot of fans of taz also like critical role. like fatt, cr has WAY more players than taz - around 7-8, if you dont count the dm. i havent listened to that much AT ALL of it bc i get mad overwhelmed by so many characters at once, but i will say that!! 1. all of the characters are VERY INTRIGUING from the introductions in epi 1 alone (i love them all, my god) and 2. i think all the players are actors & vas to some description so the voicework really is tremendous. the mcelroys are theatre kids, ofc, but like. chances are youve probably at least heard of something some of them have been in r might kno them already. most of them have done voices in popular anime  dubs, games, and cartoons. (like just takin a glance at the casts’ wikis its like... a long list of fuckin. jjba, fma, persona, teen titans, overwatch,, etc.M AND JUST way way way too much to even. go into) im prety sure theres also ??? video versions of a lot of episodes?? as they stream them but dont... QUOTE me on that.

others!!!i havent tried these myself so i know. literally nothing about them and i dont think. i could therefore speak fairly for them, given the fact. but! ive heard about them in passing from taz fans so i gotta suggest em:- the glass canon- hello from the magic tavern- campaign- dice, camera, action! (travis guest starred in an epi, once!)- not another dnd podcast

AUDIO DRAMAS

if ur into taz more for the storyline, then i do VERY much suggest !! takng a  look at more audio dramas. something i WILL say about many of these, because it’s an issue with honestly a LOT of podcasts is... they might have slow beginnings? one of the best and worst  things about podcasts is that theyre rarely big, well-funded productions and are instead smaller groups of people  just deciding to make something and so a lot of the time the beginnings of them can be rocky from bad quality or just experimental writing or whatever the case may be. so if sth is kinda eh to begin with, i would suggest to still try later episodes  

MY PERSONAL most favourites are:

wolf 359it ended a year ago (the series finale was last christmas, and it was like.. the only thing i actually cared about sd-pkdpoffdfpsdf) so im sorry that u cant be on, like... the new episode HYPE train babey! however the fact that its ended does mean that you’ll never have to wait on it. but wolf 359 is by far one of my favourite audio dramas. it does indeed suffer from a slow beginning, but real. after s1 its v good. it’s set on a space station called the u.s.s hephaestus, orbiting a star (wolf 359) 7.9 light years away from earth. it begins with four characters, however more are introduced as the series gos on - which... given the fact theyre stranded in their space station for the whole show, that makes each of the follwing entrances interesting to say the very least. in the beginning it deals mostly with a dysfunctional crew and ship,  as wwell as unnerving occurrences,  and dealing with conflict between them but as it progresses.... WELL, AS IT PROGREESSES, SHIT HITS THE FAN!!!! i cant say much as it spoils it but. despite the fact pretty much each and everycharacter is a god damn shithead to some degree, i love them all. with all my heart.

the penumbra podcastpenumbra is another podcast  i love to hell and back and ive got a healthy kill count for it. like, i’ve rec’d it to a few ppl who became fans and im like. hehe . :) basically penumbra... ALSO HAS AN INTERESTING STRCTURE!!! as it was very much explorative during is first season. it began as an anthology type of thing (where it alternated every arc, between the juno steel storyline and various oneshots)  before it transitioned, and now it basically has two main storylines that alternate arcs. you can listen to either, without listening to the other, but honestly i suggest both of them  it can?? prolly best be broken down into:

1. juno steel. juno steel is the story with the MOST episodes to its name. like i said it was already a recurring story from season 1. set way way in the future, it follows the story of a depressed disaster p.i (by the name of juno steel) on mars. if ur, like.. mad gay, then i Will say that its set in a future where gender/sexuality is very much one of those [shrug emojis] things so. gotta be honest. theres like... 1 canon  cishet character in the whole series (jun himself is nb&bi). however it is also a good series, even without that- an again, one of my faves for a reason. its got that perfect element of. kida fuckn weird and funny (its got my fave brand of humour, tbh)? but also Serious and  my GOD juno has the most beautiful voice in the world and his dramatic monologues.... to DIE for. i will also say! they did re-write the first episode - so start with the rewritten one, and not the old one. its way better

2. second citadel i will say i prefer juno steel but!! second citadel is also out here. giving us that HOT scalie content. second citadel is a fantasy based story, and jumps between the various characters of, well, the second citadel. it touches on various minorities, and their struggles (though if you’re someone who likes to Get Away from things, i promise it isnt to a suffocating degree) . most of the characters are knights who fight monsters. .. a...aand fuck monsters. they f. they f.....listen. its good i promise. but the.... sir damien.... monsterfucker

3. other oneshots??: like i said. in season 1 it very much alternated between juno steel and oneshot stories. personally...? im not... that much of a fan of them. there are three oneshots in total: home, shaken, an coyote of the painted plains. i avoided home for personal reasons, and shaken was kinda... ehhh. you can oviously try it if u want, but fyi u can totally skip em!!coyote of the painted plains is the only good one. its short, as its only one episode, but to summarise in two words: LESBIAN COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:3c

the magnus archivesi will admit ive only just started listening to tma, and when... i start listening to ghings i cAN GET VERY EXCITED HBUT!!!! its a GOOD podcast, babey. its an anthology-type series, but with a plot that becomes slowly apparent over time. jonathan sims is the head archivist of the magnus institute, and he’s basically documenting (with a tape recorder) people’s... Weird. encounters with the unknown. as mentioned, many of the stories seem disconnected at first, but patterns start to crop up as the mystery continues to unfold in th most. :o way. i havent listened to it all yet (im ony on season 2) but its VERY much already one of my favourites. one thing i will say about it though... it is a Horror podcast. they dont do anything like shitty jumpscares, but descriptions of gore are prevalent and if you arent good with insects or if you have trypophobia (obviously its an audio drama, but... there are some vivid descriptions) i might avoid it becsause those are . definitely triggers that i dont think are avoidable at all. there are other things that you migh need to be warned for, and im sorry i dont have a list but. if u need pointing to sth specific im sure many ppl in the tag would help u!!  

the bright sessionsi will be honst and say that ive dropped this a while back (however i know it’s concluded now - and it’ also getting a tv show, some day!! - so i might return to it!) though that was purely. from my own taste and opinion. so i know it might appeal to some and also? the concept is something i still die for every day. basically the bright sessions follows he therapy sessions of people with superpowers- dr bright is a specialist, who deals not only in helping her patients’ mental health, but also with how said mental health interacts with their abilities. for example, my fave  is a boy named caleb who’s an empath, and he feels everyone else’s emotions to an intense degree and this therapy sessions often explore him, and helping him get a better control of the anger, and other ovverwhelming feelings he’s so often overcme with. similarly there’s also sam, who suffers from anxiety and is thrown back in time every time she has a panic attack. IT ISNT AS HEAVY AS IT SOUNDS, and its actually. quite lovely, honestly!!! :3

girl in spacegirl in space is not as well known (... i have... seen like 2 pieces of fanart in my LIFE) but, despite the fact im a widdle behind, im still LOVE it. its another scifi show- and it follows the story of X, a girl who was the daughter of two scientists aboard a research mission. however both of her parents died, and so now she’s been kicking it in isolation for literal years, on a fucked up spaceship thats kinda falling apart.

eos 10eos 10 is like... you know the tv show scrubs? like if that was in space. its very light hearted and campy and FUN. it begins with doctor ryan dalias being stationed alongside doctor horace urvidian at eos 10. doctor ryan dalias’ job (despite being many years his junior) is to help him recover from alcohol problem and get him fit again for work. there’s also an alien called arule delatro leviathan the third (levi for short) who is a deposed prince, now dishwasher, and i stan his disaster ass to hell an back ad i gotta mention him bc. hes... perhaps an icon.

ars paradoxicai personally dropped this but i know a lot of ppl really love it!! it more sci-fi fun but this time Time Travelling sci fi fun. it sstarts off with doctor sally grissom who end up stranded in 1943 after an experiment goes awry and has to find he rway back home.

kings fall ami binged this one a few month ago, and baically... :3 sammy stevenson moves from “the big city” to a  sleepy, rural town called kings fall -except... whack shit keeps happening, vis a vis ghosts, and aliens, and other monsters. think a gravity falls kind of energy. the show is presented through a late-night radio station called kings fall am,  which sammy cohosts with long-time resident ben arnold. in the beginning there’ a very scully/mulder dynamic between sammy and ben but.... a it develops... Oh, You Know.

welcome to nightvaleokay. i LIKE?? will be so honest and say i have never listened to welcome to nightvale myself (?? guilty as charged??) but ?? ive got to fuckn. mention it because it did have a big influence on audio drama, and is probably one of the most well-known, and man  if you were on here in 2012/2013 you’ve probably already heard of it? again!! i really havent listened to it myelf but if you dont now, it’s a radio show, documenting a fictional town called nightvale which is best characterised by how surreal, strange, and often creepy it is - yet all of this is delivered in a mundane fashion. i say this now because many other podcasts when they start off (before they, like, eventually find their own kind of groove) can often resemble the nightvale kind of energy??? i know that the aforementioned wolf 359 and kings fall am have both been likened to it in the beginning (although both divert, and grow into better versions of themselves)  because many took inspo from the wtnv era

alice isnt deadthe nightvale creww went on to do a lot of other podcasts! alice isnt dead is another one i dropped (mostly, because i ound it hard to focus on) however despite being produced by the nightvale crew, it has a much... darker energy, in terms of tone, and is a lot more serious and perhaps more conventional in that it follows the narrator who took up the position as a truck driver, in an attempt to find her wife  (who has been presumed dead, for a long time). however its still got that Creepy kinda energy to it, and deals with a lot of the supernatural unknown

wooden overcoatsi started this and intend to continue it because it sounds so CHARMING  but i... I WIANT TO BE SO FUCKING HONEST WITH YOU. i put it down for a bit for the VERY trivial fact that i cannot stand listening to very thick british accents (my poor widdle ears) however!! its a fun comedy-drama about two rival funeral homes on a small island in the english channel. as  I SAID BEFOREHAND, its very charming?  it has a really refreshing kinda energy to it. i want to say, like, it sort of reminded me (the little i listened to) of pushing daisies in the sense that theres an Obvious rather grim subject matter at its core but its written so endearingly and its quirky in the Cute kinda way so im like!! fsoddpfjd sdvoididfand okay im. im sorry this is petering out now, but!!! i do have SEVERAL other podcasts here that i have heard of but?? dont know MUCH about them at all so i cant... REALLY tell you about them in depth!!!

-within the wires (also done by nightvale presents)-the orbiting human circus (of the air) (another nightvale presents!!)- limetown- the black tapes- marsfall- kakos industries- what's the frequency- you are here - inkwyrm - marsfall- our fair city- the infinite now - tanis- greater boston- thrilling adventure hour- life/after-rover red

AND THERE REALLY IS SO MUCH MORE THAT!! i cant list them all or speak for them all at all- these are just the ones i remember off the top of my head, that ive alays meant to get to!!! i would search through the podcast  recommendations tag if you are SUPER interested bc theres OOODLES of stuff in there and :3c

[murmuringtranquility]

I wish the process of changing names was easier and more fluid? Like i would like to be legally recognized to have 3 first names but the government says "no you must have a first and last name and maybe a middle name cause we only recognize one naming system that is connected to some european style of naming people". Idk its frustrating knowing that only one of my names will be recognized and that what my gender is will also only be recognized or understood by fellow queer people. Ik that when i describe how i feel to people theyre gonna question me i already have been questioned by my most supportive family member. I just want to be me? And i forget how difficult thisll be in that regard. I dont want pushback for how i dress or who i am. Ive accepted myself but im still deeply insecure about how others see me and i dont really have a thick skin about that so.. yeah

[affectionatebutch]

i love to think abt my happily mediocre future

[donttouchme-plztouchme]
