Tumblr has started recommending W40K yaoi to me. I have nothing more than a passing knowledge of that property and no idea who these characters are but damn... ya'll know how to cook.

I appreciate The Penumbra Pod using any available opportunity to let Anjimile sing.

Been mildly obsessed since Juno Steel and the Tools of Rust. What a voice.

Every episode of The Sheridan Tapes where Allen shows up feels like having my heart punched.

The Harbingers : Episode 10

Wow Amy, hypocrite much?

It's been a while since I've seen a character so compelling that I also viscerally dislike so much.

And it's not the enjoyable dislike for a character like Clive from Red Valley, who is an awful person that's fun to listen to being horrible, or Ty from woe.begone who is literally torturing an unknown amount of Mikes and Edgars but who is so charming and affable you just can't help but like the guy.

Yeah, Adam has plenty of problematic behaviors too but when Amy showed up in his office at the end of the episode and started repeatedly shoving him while he asked her multiple times to stop, all while shouting at him for working with the man she literally got gifted her magic ring by, I was just so done with her.

I feel like Adam's story is focused on the themes of non-action, purposeful ignorance, and the impact of letting other people influence your choices. But Amy's seems to be about compromising her morality to see her ideals come to fruition while being unable or unwilling to bend.

It's hard to listen to someone be so self-righteous and hypocritical and, let's face it, projecting her shit all over Adam. Claudia even called her out on it last episode. (Kudos to Claudia for handling these two and their nonsense.)

What Amy did was just unacceptable. Physically assaulting someone because you're angry is never acceptable, no matter the genders of the people involved. And she didn't even have the decency to tell him more about Eckerburg so he could make a more informed decision.

I'm really hoping she grows and changes as the story progresses. The writing and character work is excellent but every time Amy shows up I have to steel myself to listen. This is not a horror podcast but damn did the end of this episode shock me.

Just finished The Harbingers ep 8. I'm really invested in the story and characters by now but I hope the narrative starts moving away from trying to make Adam/Amy a thing.

They are so clearly not right for each other. They're on such different trajectories, Adam doesn't even seem that into her, and it feels so forced every time other characters try to push them together. (*coughAndreacough*)

I don't know if it's because they're a straight couple and I am perpetually burnt out by media constantly forcing m/f relationships that either have no chemistry or are some level of toxic and that's coloring my perception as I listen.

Clearly they have a dynamic and will likely always orbit in some capacity but a romantic relationship feels so weird and uncomfortable to me and I get anxious listening each time it comes up.

Since Amy is apparently married now I'm keeping my fingers crossed we can set that to rest in some capacity.

That said, I love that the show is making me engage with it so much. The characters are very compelling and nuanced, the VAs are all great, and I'm eager for the mysteries to unravel.

Yaoi so strong that upon introducing my cishet male friend to Trigun 98 for the first time he, who says he feels people often read into stuff that isn't there to find m/m ships, says he can totally see Vashwood.

Lil reminder, Oliver didn't gender the lobster he found attractive. Been seeing everyone default to female, to the point of misquoting his dialogue. There's still hope.

Struggling so hard to get through SOTO. (I'm just now trying to finish it after dropping it about a quarter way through, months ago.) In 12+ years of playing GW2 I've never somehow felt both completely superfluous to the plot because I have zero input into what's going on and simultaneously like nothing could happen if I wasn't there because everyone else is useless without me.

I've struggled with frustration with the GW2 story before but everything about this expansion just rubs me so wrong. I don't like 90% of the characters, my Commander is written as an overly trusting idiot (which is rich since I'm playing a sylvari), and it feels dismissive of you as a player and your Commander.

I'll likely have more thoughts if I can just finish this. I'm so close.

And the last of the backlog.

Good old Larian really outdid themselves when they accidentally made Gortash/The Dark Urge one of the most canon non-canon ship to ever have existed in fiction.

There are a few ways you can imagine a relationship between two absurdly evil lunatics, but I like to think that it was actually weirdly sweet between them, in contrast to how they were with...everyone else, really.

Sweet and spicy.
