#we’re alive

Gentle reminder that when you talk about podcasts on the Rusty Quill network, remember that the shows are created and produced by independent groups, not RQ themselves. The network is a great tool to uplift these smaller creators, so as listeners, let’s do our part in supporting them as well!

hi Ali! im looking for a new narrative podcast to get into, what's your current rec list? :)

Oh god it’s so long 😂

Horror:

Human Error - this one is mine so of course I’m recommending it 😂 it’s about a found family of survivors going on a road trip during a zombie apocalypse 12 years after the world ended!

We’re Alive - also zombie horror and was the show that got me into audio dramas! It’s very long and looks overwhelming but I promise it’s good!

Darkest Night - anthology horror where you find out how people died but each case is actually related and there is a bigger mystery and this show lives in my head rent free lol

The Waystation - found footage style show about a group of people on a space station that all died (the story is trying to piece together what happened). It’s along the same lines as The White Vault

DERELICT - a research group are studying a door at the bottom of the ocean, and then shit goes sideways. I binged this series super fact and I need season 2 immediately lol

The Eleventh Hour episode called The City of Statues - I made this! It’s about a group of survivors trying to make it out of a city filled with statues trying to hunt them down 👀

Someone Dies in this Elevator - mix of horror and thriller I think. It’s an anthology series where every episode someone dies in an elevator 👀 I composed for a few episodes and it’s v fun 🤩

Thriller

The Liberty Podcast - made by the same folks behind The White Vault and VAST Horizon. It’s an anthology series of stories taking place within and surrounding a tower where a civilization lives. Some episodes might lean more towards horror but I personally consider it more thriller

The Walk - made by the same folks behind zombies run! In this show you the listener are the main character, an individual making their way across Scotland with a package they were mistakenly delivered. I love this show so much omg

Primordial Deep - scientists are finding extinct dinosaurs alive and well under the ocean and they’re trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. I fucking love this show omg

Spines - woman wakes up in the middle of a cult ritual with no memories and is trying to figure out who she is and where she came from. Also there are powers!

Mirrors - same person behind Spines! Three women from three different centuries (who are all related to each other) discover they can communicate with each other through ghost like figures. It has a bigger mystery and the ending made me cry it was so good

InCo - a woman finds a prince from a world that shouldn’t exist floating in space. This show is a delight and is a micro series and I love the humor within it so much omg

Where the Stars Fell - the Antichrist is roommates with their guardian angel and they’re trying to stop the rapture

DUST - anthology series about science fiction and technology! Season 3 is definitely my favorite as it is one story but the entire show as a whole is very good

Feel Good/Light Hearted Shows

Unseen - this show lives in my head rent free and I ache for it to be real. It’s about magic existing in the real world and is an anthology! It’s made by the same folks behind Wolf 359

Joy to the World - holiday series I helped produce! It’s about an astronaut named Joy talking with different people on Earth about the holidays! It’s an anthology and v warm and I highly recommend it as a holiday series

Sidequesting - a person who is totally not the hero is avoiding the main plot and going on a bunch of side quests! It’s charming and lovely and made by the wonderful Tal

Back Again, Back Again - a woman is retelling her stories of his magical world she was transported into and about the prophecy she became involved in

If none of these are your jam lmk and I can suggest some more! If you tell me what you like to listen to/what kinds of stories you enjoy I can make a more personalized list

I’m here

It’s been a couple months. My mom restricted tumblr from my phone and uuuh, I can’t download anything without her knowing so that’s cool. I’m tired. I’m tired but I finally figured out the screen time passcode to my phone so I thought I’d talk with you all because I think some people might care 🤷‍♀️

It use to be bad (my mental state), but it’s mellowed out, I got use to it I guess. That being said I’m not sure about creating content too much, finding the time and motivation to is very difficult. It hurts coming back here and not feeling at home anymore. I don’t feel the same about art and I feel bland. Really meh. I want to go back but even if I tried to I think I’d just get beaten into the ground again (<- not literal please don’t call the cops).

That’s it I think. I love you very much and I hope you’re doing better than me right now.

My coworker put me onto a zombie apocalypse podcast and it’s so good. It’s been going since 2009 and they just started a spinoff with kids in a summer camp that’s also good.

They’re called “We’re Alive” and “We’re Alice: Scouts Honnor” check them out!

[angeltunudodeservedbetter]

I feel like I need to expand my thought process for Angel having a motorcycle or being a street racer cause they seem really out there initially but like that’s his thing!

Every member of the family seems to have a particular skill they are extremely proficient in, and Angel’s is literally hot wiring cars. First of all, owning a mechanic shop that’s a front for a chop shop is a known thing in some mobs, it’s a literal stereotype for a reason. Adding to the fact that in order to hot wire cars you basically need to know how to work on cars and stuff. Based on that he seems like he’d be better off as a Mechanical Engineer, so what made him go Public Affairs??? How involved was he that he chose that as a major?

And I’m devastated to know we likely won’t get to see more of Angel other than the brief scraps that KC Wayland graciously throws our way out of pity. I would kill to get even a little bit more information about him and his life and his hobbies.

[redemption-road]

what other emotion am I supposed to feel besides this after that shit

[katz-afterhours]

So…

Anyone remember We’re Alive: A story of survival?

If so, Is anyone interested in hearing about 4 OCs of mine

[thirstyandbeautiful]

YES. 😭 just been busy, but I have been working on stuff so I’m hoping to post all of Nov

[sw-ampqueen]

listening to we’re alive for the first time and just got to that consent part that i’ve seen discourse about. i didn’t remember it was this audio drama that the clip came from and i heard it and teleported out of my body

[kairos-in-space]

actually you know what

the way things are isn’t good enough

[therogueduchess]

I wonder if the guy who does the title intro voiceover for How I Died is the same one who did it for We’re Alive

[s0fter-sin]

“simon riley’s dead,” ghost chokes out; bitter resentment coating his tongue. “i’m just wearin’ ‘is corpse.”

mactavish doesn’t shy from his venom; sees through his hiss and doesn’t fear his rotten-fanged bite. he reaches out, pressing the flat of his hand to his breast and ghost damns himself for the way his breath catches; for the way his shoulders curl in around it in a silent plea for it to stay.

“that’s no drum in your chest,” he whispers defiantly.

his hand slowly drags over his chest, coming to rest over his sternum and he feels its possession like a brand against his skin.

“it ain’t bellows inflating your lungs,” he dares and he involuntarily inhales; his body longing to rise to his challenge.

mactavish pushes and he rocks back on his heels just to sway in closer; just to beg for the pressure to chase the phantom weight of six feet of dirt from his bones.

“you’re far from rigor mortis, riley,” he promises and there’s air at ghost’s back instead of decaying wood and infested flesh. “i won’t let the earth take you from me yet.”

How much securitywaiter/dreamtheory stuff have you seen?

And what do you think of the ship

Tbh I’m shocked I got to see Matpat Yaoi in my lifetime

[angeltunudodeservedbetter]

Ugh Vincent sounds so much like Angel it hurts but at the same time he’s filling the Angel shaped hole in my heart.

[redemption-road]

now, while im upset about michael, I am glad pegs will have to Gatekeep Gaslight Girlboss her way through finding out who did it and causing as much chaos as possible, like i stan but this and team b’s adventures, like in reality the first season already has me here

so im scared for the rest of this series 😅

(unrelated but someone on the discord said it sucks this isn’t a visual series cause we can’t make edits or something like that and honestly? same)

[samglyph]
