Gosh, it's #haurchefantday huh? Guess it's time: my secret identity is a fluffy romance fanfic writer. Me and my WoL fell hard back in February. I spent the rest of the MSQ quietly writing about how they met, fell in love and built a little life together.

This is a letter written by Haurchefant to his dad, declaring his love for the Champion of Eorzea, and trying to get across some of his complicated feelings about love and duty and propriety... and trying to mend his strained relationship with his father.

Yes, the dialogue here is horribly ironic in retrospect, but it's what I said out loud to my screen when I played through this part for the first time, so.....

My WoL: SIR I AM GOING TO CLIMB YOU LIKE A CAT CONDO

Me: Oh no I think we're married??!

My favourite way of choosing podcast to listen to is seeing people being batshit crazy, extremely enthusiastic, writing serious interpretations and silly posts about it, posting fanart, etc.

So, audio drama folks, please reblog this and write me some amazing stuff about your favourite podcasts. It can be honest recommendation! Maybe some blorbo thoughts about your fav character! Or deep reflection about themes and motifs! Whatever you would like to share with someone but didn’t have a chance to. Don’t worry about me knowing what you talking about, just pure your little podcast heart for me, pretty please. (And of course as always official podcast accounts are welcome to join!)

Let me tell you about Moonbase Theta, Out.

Set in 2098, the last moonbase (Moonbase Theta) is being shutdown. The first season follows the 20-week shutdown sequence via short transmissions from the comms officer, Roger Bragado-Fischer. Each episode ends with a short message for Roger's husband Alex, who's waiting for him to come home. The entire first season is about 1h45min long (and there's actually an episode in the feed with the entire combined season to make it easier to listen straight through).

The second season then revisits the exact same timeline, but this time via private personal messages from Roger, his husband Alex, as well as from the four other crewmembers who are helping with the base shutdown. Those crewmembers are:

Nessa Cheong - Agriculture

Ashwini Ray - Astrophysics

Michell L'Anglois - Security

Wilder - Base Maintenance

Tumnus - Dr. Ray's computer (and Artificial Consciousness?)

It's absolutely incredible how much that second season adds to the story, given that we already know what happens. It fleshes out the rest of the crew so much (and without Roger's added biases) as well as gives an added dimension to Roger, and a look at what's going on down on Earth.

The third and fourth seasons carry the story forward from that point, and each season sees the cast growing as the action escalates, both on the Moon and on Earth.

There are also a couple of bonus mini-series (Before the Moon & All Your Base) which give even more context and background into Base Theta crewmembers before they went to the moon, and crewmembers from other moonbases, respectively.

One of the recurring themes throughout the seasons is the poetry exchanged between Roger and Alex. There are lovely and heartbreaking quotes from beautiful poems. There is also some original poetry shared between the two. It adds such a lovely element to the communication between the couple, and is something I haven't really seen in an audio drama so far.

Finally, the thing that I love the most about this podcast is the heart. This show and these characters have so much heart. It's about people connecting and moving forward, despite the obstacles, despite the state of the world, despite the seeming hopelessness.

Other high points: the actors are fantastic, the show is incredibly queer, the locations of focus on Earth are not just in North America or Europe, and capitalism is the enemy.

The fourth season is the final season, and the finale aired on Sept 3rd. Now we're just waiting for the epilogue and a few final bonus episodes before we say goodbye to the story for good (or in my case, start your re-listen for the umpteenth time).

sherlock read watson’s story, languidly relaxing by the pool in his robe.  "you didn’t describe my chest,“ he criticized.  "you didn’t describe my chest” watson repeated back in a mocking sing-song.  "i hardly think that was called for,“ sherlock said, his robe slipping from his shoulders
