Does every single horror podcast have a mlm romance between the host and another dude?

Jon and Martin

Cecil and Carlos

Sam and Oliver

Sidney and Jedidiah

I'm not complaining, just a bit confused on the consistency of this.

★ // New Update Time, wahoo!!

Fellas, I'm going to spoil one of the upcoming offerings, you ready? . • ☆ . ° . I am building a Discord server!

This server will have cool features such as: opt in for pings for new offerings right as they drop, access to a bunch of Johnny emotes, and potential WIPs of things I'm cooking.

While making a hub for my own work is nice, that isn't my main purpose here.

A big reason why I started this shrine was because I had a newfound obsession in JoJo and I needed to express it in some way, or else I would explode. Sharing the art I make has been great! But admittingly, Tumblr is not very intuitive when it comes to holding conversations or making friends with similar interests, which is something I know I'd like more of; maybe others feel the same way?

I'd love to carve out a place where creatives in the JJBA community could come together and just chill, talk about our interests, share their work, gush about ships, and just have fun. There'll probably be an emphasis on Johnny, Gyjo, and Steel Ball Run as topics in the server because of myself and the audience I've attracted, but other JoJo parts and discussions are welcome!

I will be making the server 18+ only. Nothing against minors, but I'm an old man who should be making friends with other adults.

I don't have an exact date for the launch, but the server will be launching sometime before April so that we can all come together and discuss JOJO Day, which is fast approaching!! So keep your eyes peeled, and feel free to let me know your thoughts about the server in the replies! I value any input and suggestions.

★ Spring Cleaning

// Additionally, I've been doing a bit of upkeep to spruce up the shrine. Please check out the new blog layout and updated pinned post! Here are the patch notes if you're curious:

★ Patch Notes 03.20.25

// Tagging

★ Changed #shrineofferings tag to #offerings ★ Corrected every post that didn't have the proper tags. Everyone can now view all offerings and updates from newest to oldest on the blog using the tags.

// Pinned post (View here!)

★ Added a SBR spoiler content warning ★ Changed some of the verbiage and order on the pinned post so the text is less wordy and flows better ★ Added a link to my carrd for people to find me elsewhere ★ Made the pinned post look overall prettier aesthetically :)

// Theme (View on desktop!)

★ Fixed any broken links and buttons ★ Added a proper bio ★ Added some art to sidebar/explore panels ★ Added code to put 075's pixel sprite to the bottom right corner because I thought it was cute. :)

I plan on sprucing up the theme as time goes on by making specific graphics in the form of offerings, but I at least wanted everything functional!

That's it for now, thank you for reading! :D

Back on my bullshit. Currently binging season 2 of @spiritboxradio and they're so cute!

I've headcannoned that the floral tattoos Oliver has are:

rhododendrons (meaning danger)

Pansies (love and affection/queerness)

And green carnations (Oscar Wilde popularised the Parisian trend of wearing a green carnation as a symbol of gay identity )

green is the warmest colour of all | Oliver Boleyn sketchbook page 🌱🌿

I'm very into making monochrome sketchbook pages right now so when I thought about green this quote from Spirit Box Radio came into mind and this sort of happened. (Featuring some more quotes from my many screenshots of the transcripts)

Audio Drama Sunday - 27th April ✨

Happy #AudioDramaSunday! The sun is shining and the pods and podding ☀️

🍎 @notquitedeadpod (XLII-XLIII) is back!!!!!!! So good to hear from Alfie again, even if circumstances for our fledgling vampire are less than ideal. There’s a real grit to this season already, and I’m sorry but you can’t introduce Inna and not expect the girls to go crazy!!! I’m soooo excited for more!! 

🌲 @hellofromthehallowoods (188) Every time we get a Polly segment, you best believe I am SO locked in. I want a spin-off courtroom drama that is just Polly and Lucy going head-to-head in the queerest but most restrained way possible. I feel bad, but I still can’t bring myself to trust Raj Greenstreet. What are you doing playing a violin in these times??? Why are you comfortable resting while the fire rages?? He’s just a little too slick. But I’m happy to be proven wrong!! 

🎃 Waiting For October by @monkeymanproductions (7) Not the massive tardigrade!!!! 💙 I’ve had a lot of ‘interesting’ life events recently and this episode really made me reflect on what I would want to say to myself in the middle of it. The idea that you just need to get through it and find out who you are for yourself really resonates!! 

🧋 @hinaypod (54-55) For some reason, the first part of Hilaga was playing for me no matter what I tried to play (thanks, Spotify) so I listened to that spooky episode like 3 times! Mari is really firmly between the two elder camps here, and the show is doing suuuuch a good job of keeping us unable to determine who/IF there is a ‘good side’ to this fight. (I’m not being funny, but cursing the descendents of an evil elder doesn’t seem very benevolent…) 

🔮 @spiritboxradio (1.24- 1.27) there were so many good eps this week but I have no thoughts, just Oliver’s voice!! wow! And Sam’s little giggle at the end of that ep might be the best thing that ever happens in SBR?? (idk I just love love)

Hope everyone has a good week!

Today is the fourth anniversary of the day I launched Spirit Box Radio, and it's also the last day of trans awareness week.

I have a lot of big feelings about SBR. If you've listened to the show, you'll know that I was medically transitioning through its release. I went on T at the show's midpoint, in the middle of S2, and my voice was changing throughout the rest of the show's run. I got top surgery two months after the show ended, almost exactly to the day.

Now. We're all big enough and daft enough to be able to have a grown up conversation about this, I think. So here's some stuff about that experience I haven't really talked about before.

1. I wish there had been media which had trans creators transitioning alongside a character who is transitioning when I was younger. The main reason for this is that it would have been representation of trans people, but honestly? The main thing I wanted was to see someone transitioning over a long period of time. So often, transition seems to happen behind closed doors. Unless you are lucky enough to have lots of trans people around you (I grew up in semi-rural Wales so no luck for me there) you just do not see it happening. People, understandably, want to hide the length of the process, the messy in between stages.

2. Transitioning and playing Sam transitioning simultaneous to me was one of the most mentally challenging and emotionally vulnerable things I've ever done. I do not say this lightly; I'm a survivor of abuse and I've seen a lot of shit in my life. I've come out as nonbinary at a corporate job and argued with a university about changing my name on my graduation certificate. As much as I loved it, and still love it, and I'm intensely proud of it and SO glad it exists, making SBR was fucking brutal. Hours of editing my own voice through a period where it sounded different on a near-weekly basis. Having no idea how I sounded anymore and posting episodes anyway. Dealing with the emotional fallout of people responding weirdly to me in my real, actual life whilst portraying a character who is outcast, isolated, and terrified of himself? Challenging as fuck.

3. Many people need to examine the way they're talking about trans men. The conversations around Sam shifted very violently as my voice dropped. This is in part due to the arc this character follows, but it's hard not to notice a shift in language as dramatic as this. It started as soon as the show came back from its S2 midseason break and my voice had shifted down a bit. People talked less about Sam being cute, and for the first time, I started to see people talking about him like he was sexy. These things aren't mutually exclusive, but it was very noticeable to me, especially in contrast to conversations about Oliver, Sam's hot, cis gender, florist boyfriend, who was categorised as sexy from the off. Before my voice dropped, even though they were using the right pronouns for them, people talked about Sam with very feminine, infantilising language, and this almost entirely stopped when my voice dropped.

4. I am so fucking glad I did this. Yes, it was brutal, emotional, and I really struggled through a lot of this process, and I am so glad I did this. I will have the immense privilege of medically transitioning in the way I have over the last few years exactly once in my life. I am glad I took that vulnerable moment and made art with it. I'm glad that my transition is captured and mirrored by this thing I was making at the time it was happening. I'm glad that thousands of other trans people have listened to the show and have heard me doing this as they are doing it, or before they do it, or after, or as they're deciding not to, or finding out they can't, or realising they'll never have the chance, or any one of the myriad experiences of transness that exist. I am, frankly, honoured to have been a part of such a vulnerable aspect in the lives of so many people.

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for listening to the show, if indeed you already have. If you enjoy my work, I would love to be able to pay my bills and be able to keep making it. I have never made even minimum wage for the work I do on my shows. Please consider becoming a member.

New Spirit Box Radio Retrospective!

In this episode of SBRR, I look back at the characters who make up one of the key relationships in this show, Sam, SBR's bubbly host, and Oliver, his melancholy florist boyfriend. Enjoy!

[etclouie-rambles]

just thinking of last year when i posted sbr’s, and i made a new years/holidays post and all the comments were like “no one does the first footing thing” and “that’s not real”

but it was only on oliver woods, cause he’s scottish and from glasgow where im from — so we most deff do the first footing tradition

idk made me feel real shitty about our culture and stuff, cause we’re always being erased as a nation��
