So I’m shamelessly stalking the Instagram of doing some research on the writer of Bridgewater (the audio drama Misha is starring in) and-

Pretty sure girl is One Of Us.

Drop that gay cowboy WIP too Lauren I would like to see it.

Once again, I find myself on Friday night (really Saturday morning) sitting in the dark with headphones on to listen to the new Bridgewater episode (Chapter 14). As always, amazed by the talent and the writing...but also fully counting down to the next episode. 

Spoilers below:

Love that it starts with Jeremy on the phone with his boss...and the false claim that yeah he’s got this and he can have some chapters written...

Aww Katie. I’d actually forgotten about her. 

Their convo was interesting though to really get at what she knew and what part she played...but also the info on that new Gathering leader...curious.

Is the chapter leader the same person as The Legend Tripper? Or would that be too obvious...

Lol at Vipin and Olivia going shopping with Thomas and really just getting him a whole make-over. Also Thomas putting on a sweater and immediately looking just like Jeremy!

And it’s crazy that he’s only 8 years older than Olivia! That’s wild. 

Also can Vipin and Olivia start dating yet? 

Vipin backstory! I love his early obssession with religions, all of that entirely makes sense for who he is and what he’s devoted his studies to. 

Jeremy, I feel for you. He’s going through it and I actually appreciated that this episode keeps Jeremy and Thomas from interacting a lot. It gives him the space to really freak out a bit more openly, I think. 

Also I have to appreciate how open to talking to Anne, Jeremy is. They have such a bond over going through this together that encompasses all the prior stuff and I love that so much. Their relationship is everything. 

The conflict with Jeremy wanting to take some time because he just got his dad back...and the fear of what might happen and how there is no guarantee that he will keep him especially if they don’t leave things well alone in order to save that kid. 

“Sweetie, you’re spiraling” -- yes Anne, yes he is. 

Anne saying she would give up anything so Jeremy (and Shelly) can get time with their dad. :(

“We can afford to do some outsourcing” - if only Jeremy. 

The convo about Fairies is so interesting in combination with Thomas being really impressed and probably confused. 

Vipin still looking for a reasonable explanation though! The whole there have to be rules thing. 

Jeremy having both a personal crisis...but also feeling like he’s a fraud with his job. Ouch. 

The house literally shaking might be some big “you can’t ignore things” sign Jeremy. You’re already in it. As much as you may not like it, things will just keep happening. 

Olivia, in what world was that a good idea? This is gonna make it so much worse.

Shelly fully believing her daughter was getting scammed -- can’t blame her and I don’t see how they’ll get her to believe it. Also she’s channeling Anne so much.

So curious about the quiet...

So we’re fully leaning into Jeremy’s fear of losing Thomas by having him pass out??

Bridgewater is so good... I light some candles, pour some wine, turn out the lights, and lay there comfy in the bed with my eyes closed and just let the story wash over me. It's so relaxing, I love the story and I don't even have to watch or think, I just get whisked away by the words into a different world where me and my friends in this world are trying to solve the mystery of this man's trauma and this strange place. And the best part is it's a real place full of real legends and odd disappearances. The mystery is here, in our world, and it's real and tangible. This is a level of escapism and love for life that's entirely new to me.

It's a gem of a podcast AND it's created by a tumblr user who always writes adventures and puts queer characters, poc, and women of all kinds in all their stories every time, and really explores and captures the nuance and the longing of every experience that fits so well and hits so hard. So we have some even more amazing things coming here. There's no queerbaiting here, this podcast is exactly what it says it is.

And these characters are so beautiful and full and whole.

Bridgewater is best experienced while high and in the bathtub, but agree to disagree, I guess
