the first time i listened to archive 81 was many years ago and i was not as versed in classical cosmic horror as i am now and it is strange to relisten and have slightly more. bearing? in the world its dealing in. i almost feel like im missing the naivety. that being said Golden Age is still one of my favorite pieces of audio fiction maybe ever

Just finished watching the Netflix adaptation of Archive81, and I was SOOO excited about it. Not only that but I thought the relationships between all the characters were so cute, THEN I FIND OUT THAT I COULD’VE HAD LESBIAN MELODY THIS WHOLE TIME, AND NETFLIX ROBBED US OF THAT??? FUCKK OFFFFF ACTUALLY WHAT THE HELL, NETFLIX HATES GAY PEOPLE ISTG

(I’m so hyped to see lesbian Melody when I start the podcast)

I either need a more experienced fic writer or the confidence to write it myself, but:

A81 fanfiction where Nicholas needs a bone from the Paris catacombs as a ritual component. I’ve had so many thoughts about this today.

there was a post about inventing our own rituals that was really good but i can't find it rn..... can we all come up with fucked up magic rituals. Please rb with some fun new rituals. mine is a ritual to make your stride 5% longer.

you must perform the entirety of this ritual standing on one leg. draw a circle of chalk outside on the concrete using chalk from a children's set. the circle should be about the diameter of a regular comfortable step forward. do not break the circle or exit until the ritual is complete. take one leaf of a four leaf clover, two teaspoons of salt water, and a lock of hair cut from the head of someone who has not slept in twenty hours. place these items inside of a sock you have worn for 7 days and nights without washing. add a single drop of your own blood taken from the ball of your foot. repeat the phrase "the wind is alive and it calls for me" while you put the sock on your raised foot. you may now leave the chalk circle. do not remove the sock for the next three days. if the ritual was a success, your stride will be 5% longer, and you will always arrive at your destination notably quicker. if for whatever reason you exited or broke the chalk circle, or the sock was removed prematurely, you will lose each of your toes on the opposite foot slowly and painfully over the course of a year.

edit: found the post i was thinking of
