Order of the Stick fans, you should give podcasts a shot. In particular, I think you'd really enjoy The Once and Future Nerd, which starts out as a seemingly-average portal fantasy but later on interrogates, subverts, and examines a lot of tropes found in fantasy. And is just generally a really good story.

Once and Future Nerd fans, you should give webcomics a shot. In particular, I think you'd really enjoy The Order of the Stuck, which starts out as a seemingly-average parody of DND campaigns, using a lot of 2000s humor, but later on interrogates, subverts, and examines a lot of tropes found in fantasy. And is just generally a really good story.

I love horror as much as the next person, but I've been on a really big fantasy kick lately. Do you have any recommendations for (preferably full-cast) fantasy audio dramas?

i'll be honest anon, i'm so picky about my podcasts i've only ever finished 6 shows.

i've never stepped out of my comfortable horror bubbles, but i have an extensive to-listen list i can pull some recs for you, from the podcast fandom itself!

DND podcasts tend to be great if you're looking for full-cast and lore based fantasy, so consider dice shame (if you already like malevolent), the adventure zone and dames and dragons!!

if your itch is more for proper audio dramas, consider caravan, the once and future nerd, greater boston and radio:outcast

again, i havent actually listened to any of these, but i hope youll like them, happy listening :)

Will Maguire get a boyfriend

If not. Please get him one for me 🥺

There’s a lot of urgent plot stuff to deal with before the end of Book 2 so no promises. But for the record, I (Christian) also thing Mag Uidhir deserves a boyfriend.

Okay so basically the United States MINT of all people is going to be working with DC to make a line of coins! These coins sadly won't be in circulation (the things I would do to live in a world where I could get Batman coins from the supermarket) as they're collectors coins, but will be releasing over the course of the next 3 years, 2025-2027.

Designs haven't been released yet (the same is true for all 2025 designs) but we know there will be 9 coins in total (3 each year) with the first year featuring (of course!!!) Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Although we know the first three heroes to be featured, the remaining six have yet to be decided, and it turns out the Mint is putting out a survey on their site to gauge which of a group of culturally significant heroes people want to see most! (link to the form is mentioned in the article above)

The considered group includes: Supergirl, the Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, John Stewart GL, Aquaman, Hawkman, Jamie Reyes BB, Robin (Damian?), Cyborg, and Batgirl, of which 6 will be selected.

As someone who does a bit of coin collecting myself (mainly circulation coins like the quarters sets, but I also have a couple proof and collectors coins) I think this is a really cool and interesting idea that showcases the history of the comics medium and these characters and their influence on American culture. Really excited to wait and see what the designs look like for the coins already announced!

jen in 2023 would have a tiktok channel where she filmed herself doing makeup while talking about gossip at school. billy would also have a tiktok channel but his only followers would be from his school. nelson would be deep into reddit and be snooty about not being on tiktok because he doesn’t trust the algorithms.

THE ONCE AND FUTURE NERD MY BELOVED

The Once And Future Nerd is a long-running high fantasy about three Pennsylvania teens who get isekai'd into another realm, where they may or may not be three of seven Chosen Ones. It's insightful and biting and funny and so so good.
