I managed it with a Rot11, which makes sense for the 11 day count down, and makes meta sense because all of Anusia's count downs have the day as the Rot Number.
Also, I don't think it's protocol related, I'm pretty sure this is about the Manchester Fringe show, that starts on the 6th of July, which is in 11 days.
Not enough people talk about how fun it is to listen to music while you're on some form of public transport or while you're walking and just staring into the middle distance and pretending you're in a music video.
Something's happening over on the Tell No Tales Feed 👀
From the shownotes:
Hi everyone, Leon here, writer and producer of Tell No Tales, voice of Leo Quinn, and finally, after almost two years, the bearer of good news! Tell No Tales will be returning on Monday 4th May (shortly after its 4th birthday!), and will continue releasing weekly on Mondays for the remaining nine episodes of season two. The teaser you’re listening to now contains clips from the next four episodes, and there’s so much more to come.
I want to apologise again for the delay and to say just how much I appreciate the kind words and patience from those of you who have reached out to me during the hiatus. The last two years have been an absolute onslaught of unexpected turns in my life, some good, some bad, and it turns out trying to make it as a full-time author is not for the faint of heart (who would’ve guessed?). I also want to say, unequivocally, that these delays were entirely on my end. The actors who worked on this season were absolutely fantastic, and sent in their lines long before season two started releasing. It was the sound design and production elements, both tasks that are solely my responsibility, that caused the hiatus to go on for as long as it did. But the last thing I wanted to do was to risk ending the hiatus too soon, and eventually finding myself back in the same position where I was unable to keep up with the weekly releases. I’m now finally confident that I can release the rest of the season to the best of my ability with no further interruptions, so thank you all again for bearing with me while I worked towards that.
Finally, I’m aware that it’s been a long time since S2E16 was released, which is why I’m announcing this now, a month in advance. If you need time to re-listen and refresh your memory, now is the time to do it. But if you’d rather not, we’ve posted a little re-cap on our tumblr of the story so far. If you haven’t caught up yet, proceed with caution. Spoilers abound.
I have missed making this show more than I can say, and I’m so excited to share the rest of this story with you. See you next month, and remember: the dead don’t bite (yet).
And for those of you interested in a S2 recap, you can find that below the cut:
So, after being convinced – or blackmailed, mostly – to work with Frank, Leo split off from Riley and Julia to investigate the fracturing spirit plane. Their research found that the concentration of spirits – especially powerful ones such as the recently re-discovered categories four through seven – is leading to an oversaturation of the spirit plane, causing many spirits to regress through the categories, and risk fading away, losing their grip on reality entirely.
Riley and Julia, meanwhile, were determined not to let their friend’s betrayal stop them from fighting, and have been working with a woman called Louisa Truman. Louisa represents the activist group Liberating History, who are trying to save The Coronation Club, an old gay bar and home to the spirit of Arthur Holloway – the deceased partner of season one’s Stephen Pritchard.
In the midst of all of this, Frank has apparently been feeling something almost akin to compassion for Leo’s situation, and has been working on developing a mobile tether – a device that will allow Removed spirits to temporarily be released from their capsule. Leo turns a bit of a blind eye to Frank’s unethical experimentation on spirits throughout this process, because this device would allow them to finally speak with their late brother, Noah: the catalyst for every bad decision Leo has made in recent memory.
It is this reunion between Leo and Noah, and the resulting breakdown from Leo’s unresolved grief, that finally reconciles Leo, Riley and Julia. With the three now working together in Frank’s warehouse labs, much is uncovered. Such as Riley’s weird sleepwalking thing, don’t even worry about it I’m sure they’re fine that was totally normal of them. And Julia taking only a few days to work out what Leo’s spent several months puzzling over: that the overcrowding of the spirit plane is Frank’s fault. After his hostile takeover of Mortui Non Morden, Frank never learned the closely guarded ritual for moving spirits on, and has been storing (or, um, occasionally eating) them for decades.
After a conversation with Noah using the new mobile tether, Julia suggests using the tether to speak with Montgomery Whitley – a previous director of Mortui Non Morden, and Frank’s father – to learn about the ritual. Frank is decidedly unimpressed with this suggestion, but after some light bullying and some unexpected compassion, concedes that it is their only option. And that is where we’ll pick up in season two, episode seventeen: A Despicable Man.
I Could Not Be Happier that this is going to be releasing again!!!!
Anyone who has met me in person and even briefly mentioned podcast has known and been told about this podcast! I absolutely adore it! (I'm not autistic about it I swear)
And I will continue to tell anyone who will listen about this because its great and who doesn't love Nerds (some of whom are 💅 ) and fighting Questionably Evil bosses, And ghosts!!!
Anything Magnus related always is, but especially this one. @rq-producerperson told me about it in our very first meeting, nearly three years ago, and I reacted a bit like this:
But hey, I guess it's finally time. So, without further ado ...
In one of the Death Note live action movies (I think it was Light Up the New World), a man changes his name after harboring guilt about past crimes and trying to atone (not even answering to that name). He's only killed after his new name gets put in the book, since he shed his old name.
Man wasn't trans, but if the logic applied to him, logic should apply to trans people too!
Actually now that i think of it, there's another rule that might be relevant:
"If a Death Note owner accidentally misspells a person's name four times, that person will be free from being killed by the Death Note. However, if the Death Note owner intentionally misspells the name four times, the owner will die."
I'd argue that deadnaming counts as misspelling for this purpose -- so if you're closeted and someone tries to kill you, you're immune, because they can't know your real name; and if you're out and someone tries to kill you with your deadname, they get killed instead. The Death Note is even more of an ally than we thought!
dropped an embroidery needle on my floor in the dark and couldn't recover it so hopefully a bug is about to use it as a sword and go on some adventures and shit
Sometimes you just need to relisten to "I am Martin. Blackwood. and I am not lonely anymore- I am NOT lonely anymore!- I want to have friends! No! I- I have friends. I am in love! I am in love and I will NOT forget that" and stare at your ceiling for a while
