tracking pronoun use in the statements and non-statement sections jon has an interesting progression of apparently being unable or unwilling to recognize avatars as anything but human to purposefully othering and dehumanizing them in order to set himself apart to seemingly accepting his own inhumanity and the fact that he isn’t so different but it’s fascinating that martin not only never does this but in fact consistently actively has to force himself to dehumanize the monsters
[Audio transcript: A clip from WTNV episode 155, “The Heist: Part 3.” There's a beep, and over the phone, Carlos says, “Hey sweetie, it’s, um, me. So listen, I have, um... I- so, so I’ve just been arrested.” End transcript]
im adopting him and his name is Fleur 🌸🌿
Hi there, i was wondering if melody is in fact a lesbian?
I mean, she married a woman? So yeah?
Top 5 taz fics (other than ur own we know they’re great)
anon you are So Bold as to think i read anything else other than my own shit at this point. that being said, i will only be talking abt grad fics i like bc Who Fucking Cares About Balance Or Amnesty At This Point
also these are not ranked in any specific order bc my friends wrote these and i’m not gonna pit them against each other. they’re all good and you should read them!
1. a mouthful of lines that you’ll soon forget by electrahartley aka @wakkoswish
summary:
“YOU SUBMITTED MY POEM TO PENIS MIGHTIER?! MY VERY PRIVATE POEM WITH MY VERY PRIVATE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS?!”
“It’s Pen Is Mightier! But yes! I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t know. I thought you would like to have people fawn over your work.”
“Well, Rainer, you know, normally, I do. But not about this particular thing!”
During this whole conversation, the Firbolg had been silently rereading Fitzroy’s poem.
“...Who give a shit,” he finally spoke up.
one of the orig maplekeene fics, and one of the goodies as always. hartley writes such funny dialogue and he honestly inspired me to write more maplekeene once i got back into the hyperfixation. “who give a shit” is more of an iconic firbolg line than anything justin has ever said in the podcast, and you can fight me on that one. if you haven’t read this fic then you are Late. absolutely adore all of hartley’s maplekeene fics too, so if you haven’t read his work start w this one and then read all of them <3
2. one thought, head empty, hands full by trees_so_thin aka @accesscodex
summary:
fitzroy has thoughts he wont think and argo runs his mouth.
OR i use a motif too many times for paragraph structure
MATURE RATING ON THIS ONE SO IF UR A BABYCHILD MAYBE DON’T READ. it’s not Explicit explicit but it Kinda references fucking. honestly a staple of the magcu set of fics, and personally one of my favorites. matthew writes internal dialogue really well and i enjoy his use of motifs. i return to this fic whenever i’m feeling down bc i just. idk i really like matthew’s writing. also magcu maplekeene just feeds the pining brain hehehehe helps me w ssoss mindset tbh. very good fic!!!!! highly recommend
3. All I ever wanted (it’s always you) by Ember360 aka @keenie
summary:
Argonaut Keene Gay Pining Compilation (GONE RIGHT?? WRONG??? WHOS TO SAY) Not Clickbait!!!
VERY GOOD FIC!!!!! i miss pebble’s writing so much. i read xyr fics Long before i actually met xem, tho this is one xe wrote later on when we were already friends. lil m’s fics are just so heartwarming oh my goodness. xe also write argo really well!!! you can feel the kinnie in it ghrbjhbgrrghj. honestly i just really love character studies and this is a really good one!!! it’s also pining which is swag! read pebble’s fics!!!!!!! support my little me <3333
4. four slurred words by trees_so_thin aka matthew again
summary:
fitzroy takes a key. argo takes a drink. the firbolg takes argo upstairs.
this is how episode 17 should have gone
an episode 17 re-write that is gayer and much better than canon imo. once again, i just really enjoy matthew’s writing for fitzroy (and for argo!!!! he has a very solid grasp on both characters). i really appreciate the silent pining and conflicted feelings ohhhhh it makes me go insane. everyone likes to say im the god of maplekeene pining, but matthew will drag these two boys along until the heat death of the universe. very good fic 10/10 love my bestie’s work <333333
5. Bloom by Ember360 aka pebble again
summary:
A world where you are born with a tattoo of your soulmate's favorite flower. The state of the flower (blooming or wilting) is based on the emotional state of your soulmate(s). When you meet your soulmate, the flowers printed on them grow among yours.
Argo has snapdragons along his upper body.
Fitzroy has a single daylily on his wrist.
THE ORIGINAL LONGFORM MAPLEKEENE FIC. god honestly if you haven’t read Bloom then you are SO SO LATE!!!! i’m just putting this one here bc honestly i’ve loved seeing pebble’s work grow and develop as i’ve known xem. i wish i had the kind of drive xe had when i was xyr age, so i will cheer xem on as best i can!!! this is a soulmate au so Obviously good shit. and it’s a modern au!!!! check it out please if you haven’t already!!! i know it isn’t completed but i think it’s still worth the read!!!! love u lil m <3
I've heard a lot of people in the tma fandom saying they started listening despite not liking horror, myself included, and it got me curious
So, I got curious about what made people start listening to tma so I made a survey to find out. Personally, I'm ace and started listening because I'm desperate for representation, despite not liking horror, and mostly I was wondering if that was a common experience in the fandom. There are only 4 questions so it should be quick to fill out. Thanks!
long time no taz. heres a soft kravitz sketch
(ID: A digital drawing of Kravitz from The Adventure Zone. It is a side profile from the shoulders up. Kravitz is a black man with long dreadlocks tied back in a ponytail and two golden feathers, wearing a dark red shirt and cape clasped with a raven skull. He has gold-reddish eyes and a skull earring, and looks off towards the left with a gentle, happy expression. The background is a solid gold.)

Y’all pls support this show about trans Robin Hood, a friend of mine is the creator and it’s gonna be SO GOOD! 🏹🏹🏹
We talk a lot about parasocial relationships and idol worship now in relation to podcasters and voice actors but I think another important part is to remember that these people... aren’t really celebrites? They may seem like it because podcast fans have very often saturated themselves amongst groups who all know who these people are and admire them, but 99% of podcasters aren’t ‘get recognised on the street, earns lots of money from this’ famous. Almost all of them still have day jobs, and hell, a lot of them are still active in fan spaces , because they’re usually just people who you’ve chosen to listen to talk into a mic, and have decided are Public Property instead of people.
And that means that when people treat them the way they would a celebrity who’s fame has put them above everyone else, it can seem kind of weird? Because there’s a good chance they’ll see or just be generally aware of how people treat them online? (And I don’t think the answer to this is ‘be creepy about them in private’ because you’re still... being creepy about another human being. It’s not about whether they do see it or not. It’s about whether if they were to know about it, they’d be uncomfortable)
While I personally think all RPF is creepy, (excluding exceptions like the Achievement Hunter crew who encourages fanfic but have set boundaries (eg some of them don’t want their wives or children to be written about)) it’s an entire other level when I’ve literally seen people write RPF about voice actors who even have their own Ao3 accounts, and that just seems so invasive to their personal lives? I’ve seen people on tumblr name their podcast sideblogs with voice actors full actual names, not the character, the person themslves, and it’s often VA’s who have their own tumblr accounts.
Podcasters very often create content for free from their homes. I do it too! So to see them get treated more like concepts than real people is a little disconcerting? ‘Learn Boundaries’ is a very common thing to say in relation to people’s interactions with creators but also just. Take time to think about your actions towards them? If the person you’re talking about found the content you’re making about them, would they find it creepy/invasive? If so... maybe just don’t?

Hey taz fandom? Do you think we could maybe stop sexualizing Taako so much? I can't tell you how much art and cosplay I've seen of the "I'm not a piece of meat" speech with them directly contradicting everything he says because it's 'funny'
Taako in canon has said he doesn't like being objectified and Wants to be taken seriously but since y'all love fetishizing gay men I only ever see him portrayed as this hyper feminine flaming homosexual who loves sex. (Which is fine to be but y'all be pushing this super harmful sterotypes on a character who directly contradicts it)
Stop fetishizing gay men and stop sexualising Taako when the character In Canon has said it makes him uncomfortable
i'm still pretty new to podcasts, is there smth wrong with eos 10 or king falls am? i had them on my list bc i've heard good things but idk much about them
Ooooh boy okay so I am working off. Limited knowledge for EOS 10 since I never listened to more than a few episodes, but after asking around some friends here’s what I gathered:
I don’t have the screenshots for it since these were done via tumblr asks to the creator like 2+ years ago (if someone has them, feel free to add them on), but within the show autism is referred to as a “pretty devastating neurological disorder”. Obviously autistic fans of the show were concerned by this and reached out to the creator, and he responded Badly, something along the lines of “my brother is autistic and it ruined my family so I think there should be a cure for it”, and went on to insult autistic fans who were hurt by this, several of whom were minors.
The love interest for the main character was written out after the (second or third? My friends answering were unsure) season because the actor playing him was accused of sexual assault. Which, good that they wrote him out, but Y’know. Still in the show.
After delaying the release for a very long time, they then made the fourth season only accessible behind a paywall, and would become public after a further year.
I think there was some other stuff but that’s all I was able to gather as someone who only listened to the first few eps and saw the fallout of the rest happen second hand via pod tumblr (which was a lot smaller at the time)
As for King Falls AM, a show I really enjoyed at the time (over two years ago) and now look back on with regret:
The creators are notoriously shitty, recently coming into the spotlight again after one saw fans talking about “death of the author” in regards to the show and got very angry, not knowing what the term meant and deciding it meant they were issuing him death threats. When he vagued about this on twitter and fans tried to inform him he ignored them (possibly blocked? Not sure on that part)
Banned people from their official discord for saying stuff like ‘hey I like the show but I find (x) part offensive or think you could have done (y) better’ because ‘it’s our show and if you don’t like it stop listening’
One of the characters is named ‘Glinda the Racist Witch’. That’s the punchline. She is a witch who is racist and serves no plot purpose. This is written by two white men
Appropriation of Native American stuff (skinwalkers) and as far as I remember also having the ‘wise old native man who only exists to guide the protagonist’ trope (played by a white man)
The predatory lesbian trope, where the protag’s fiancé’s sister keeps hitting on the other protag’s girlfriend even when she knows she’s in a relationship (and presumably straight)
Just... not good at writing female characters. It got better apparently but it was a lot of ‘one female character and she’s a damsel in distress’ and then later gave the women a plot about how all the men in town were in an anti feminist cult that they got to attack, I guess for Girl Power Reasons to make up for the bad writing earlier?
Again I’m sure there’s more I don’t remember/didn’t listen to enough to hear (though I listened up to like 75) for KFAM and again if you know something specific feel free to add on.
Also I’m not dunking on people who listen to either of these shows because I know a lot of people listen despite it’s flaws and are very aware of them, but just some info for people like anon who don’t know and intend to listen

the statement that jon compels from breekon is one of the saddest tma statements ever. how did jonny take supernatural delivery men and make it emotional. "I have never known hate before. I have never known loss. But now they are with me always, and I desire nothing but to share them with you." god
"She took him from me, made us a me. And she doesn’t get to die for that. She gets to live, trapped and helpless, and entombed forever. No prey, no hunt. No movement. We failed, but I have at least that comfort. I am without him now. I am. I can feel myself fading, weak, no reason to move, nothing to deliver." like ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
"We were the bringers of their awful fate, not its executors. They knew this and feared us in kind. And we drank it down, the taste of it sweeter than the food that now rotted on our plates or the drink that curdled in our cups. And we both tasted it together. When we left our destination, the mule whining at the new weight behind it, he would reach behind us and find a face, sagging, sloughing off its skull, and pull it to him. He’d place it over the one he wore already and he would laugh and laugh and laugh. Sometimes it fell off. Sometimes it stayed for weeks. I kept the face we chose, but I loved him for our levity."
"We knew she wouldn’t scream as she was hollowed out and drunk, but still he thought best to cover the sounds with a laugh. He was always our humor."
then jon says "I saw that thing’s mind; it’s lost on its own, no partner, no purpose, I honestly think it just wanted to do another delivery." is this not the saddest shit you've ever heard
i keep thinking about them and losing my mind. can you imagine being part of a pair for hundreds of years and then losing your partner? i'm not saying throwing daisy in the coffin was good but also, i get it, you know? the drama of it all!!! the romance! the tragedy! THEY ONLY HAD EACH OTHER!!!
gang, i'm still not over them. just the absurdity of it. alfred breekon was just living his life when these two just show up like "our company now". they just deliver things. they aren't good or evil- their only alliegance is to each other. how do people not love these guys
workplace banter: hunt edition
I thought you were dead, Alice. I really did.
I really hate 2 make this post but as vitriol over Lin Manuel Miranda’s antiblackness and, incredibly, personal role in advocating for Financial Oversight Board imposed on Puerto Rico by the obama administration kicks up, please remember to, um, check in on your faves who support him. Those who consider him a close friend, despite people pointing out his neolib bullshit to them over and over and over. Your favorite guys who have blocked people for reminding them that their friend LMM thinks its okay to say the N word because hes not white. Your best friends who are professed fans of Hamilton and are entirely uncritical of it.
I'm so glad u made this post cause I was thinking of making one myself honestly after they had him on the show this week, ESPECIALLY as the protestors fight to remove icons glorifying slave owners all over the country it's like how tone deaf can u be?
