Back in 2013, I posted a Welcome to Night Vale fic and someone commented, “I’m autistic and I see myself a lot in the way you write Carlos. Did you intend for him to autistic?”
And I was like “I’m flattered you think so! No, he’s not intended to be autistic, but I’m glad you can see yourself in him.”
Now twelve years later I spent some time this evening trying to track down that comment to give a very belated clarification. Whoever you were stranger, hey. I only said no because I based Carlos heavily on me, and since I wasn’t autistic, Carlos wouldn’t be either. Well. I’ve learned some stuff in the intervening decade that strongly support your literary analysis.
makes first contact with an alien species after being alone on a spaceship intended for dozens of crew members for decades. sends the alien a diagram of what it would be like if our two ships kissed. the alien agrees.
This is also an open invitation for creators and listeners alike to tell me about their beloved shows on this post (or in my asks if you're shy). I am perpetually curious and also enjoy seeing people celebrate the things they care about.
Replying on my personal blog, but I'm a disabled podcaster and founder of @podcast-bookclub , an online Discord community for audio fiction ! + run many related podcast events every year. I also write many disabled characters in my stories: Ben of @knightfallpod is a ambulatory wheelchair/crutch user with chronic pain (I also voice him!:)), & I produce @spacespeckspod, in which Nora is an amputee, and uses a cane. Everyone tell more disabled stories!!!
Happy Audio Drama Sunday my beloveds! Trying not to be overwrought by the Tasks ™ this weekend, we’ll just see how that goes. At least there is audio drama.
🧪 I can't believe I forgot to talk about @theholmwoodfoundation's new bonus episode last week. The sheer...I guess I'm looking for the word brutality, in the way that Elena was treated by the foundation definitely shows it to be a different sort of organization than (I bet) Mina ever meant it to be. But maybe I'm wrong; this is not the first time Holmwood's played with an "alternate history" sort of Dracula interpretation. Can't wait for more.
🦄 Let's hear it for Witchpunk's first season! I really love what @citeogs did with this series. It's hard for a piece of media to capture just how doomed cyberpunk feels for its characters, but Witchpunk frikkin did that, with some of the most excellent political worldbuilding I've seen in a long time. I love this show, I love the characters, I love the story.
⬛️ Like, what do I even say about @midnightburgr? That it made me cry this week? It made me cry this week. I'm really proud of Casper's character development and his newfound sense of fatherhood. Trying no matter what (even if it's hopeless) because it matters is such an important message right now.
💻 I had the pleasure of meeting maybe like, 80% of the @san-lazaro-podcast team at @tafcon, and boy oh boy did those delightful humans make we want to hear their show. And THEN, what do I find but the most compelling opener for a zombie apocalypse story that I have ever heard? The absolute finesse of the three story prologues that currently make up Radio San Lazaro is incredible. If you want a masterclass in writing (and then an excellent example of how to run a volunteer project!), check this show out.
🌔 I'd be remiss if I didn't mention The Harbingers, which wrapped up its first season this week with a bang. I'm not always a fan of the way Gabriel Urbina builds characters, but I can't argue with his storylines. This show slaps. Of course no one's getting away with sending Boston to the moon; that doesn't mean the story’s over.
🍂 I want to get a little more attention on the crowdfund for Fallen Memories! It’s a warm and cozy audio drama that I happen to know has been in the works for ages, and darnit, I want to hear it! Give them your money! Their first episode is up on youtube now!

Submitter explanations are under the cut:
Hiram McDaniels
He is LITERALLY a five headed dragon!! All of his heads have different personalities and motivations, and operate together as one person(dragon)
Crona Gorgon (alters noted by submitters: Ragnarok)
I honestly just hc them as a system. One, there's Ragnarok right there... two I think both manga and anime Crona are distinct yet the same person yk [The following was added through Tumblr asks later] HI HELLOOOO im the one that requested crona from soul eater and i realized me headcannoning them as a system was that i think that manga crona and anime crona are just how their different alters would have reacted to everything. that's besides the ragnarok thing but yes !! i have it better articulated now (-_-')
Detective, please, you have to save me,,,, you have to do it while monologuing about the human condition,,, there HAS to be electric guitar while you do it.......
