From the ask meme - 4. Who is a character that took you by surprise?

Yay! Best question!

I'm gonna cheat and go with two, both of whom were totally down to the actors. Both Moreau and Cullen were created before casting voice actors, and Moreau just completely blossomed into a full human being when Tim Briggs took the helm. They really nailed their humor and prickliness and deeply hidden vulnerability, and all of that made it easier for Moreau to grow into the central character they were.

As for Cullen, well, I don't have to explain it to you, but the character started as a Le Carré-inspired antagonist, and the second Antal Spector-Zabusky said his first lines, Cullen gained a warmth and gravitas that wasn't entirely there before. Definitely Cullen is the character who changed the most from initial invention to final conclusion, and we can credit Antal for that. (Also, personally, I think the shift works because all we ever have is Sophie's perception anyway, and what is that worth?)

I'm so happy you reblogged the ask game because I LOVE your show. How about number 4? Thank you!

Already answered ;)

But I'll also add that Steptoe was a kind of one-off character who kept recurring mostly because we enjoyed working with Cat Evans so much.

hello!! for the ask meme - 6 (If you are a voice actor or audio editor, what is your favorite blooper moment?) and/or 8 (What is an inside joke or reference that is hidden in your podcast?)? :)

LOVE THESE

6. From Jackie: definitely us trying to recording kissing noises for episode 16. It was awful. Somewhere there's a remix of Molly swearing along to her attempts. I'll try to find it tomorrow and link it.

8. From Molly: "My memory is too bad for this!" But, she used to call her little sister duckbird growing up and whenever anyone mentions this in reference to the podcast she has a little moment of !!!

For the ask game: 3 and 9!! (I know you addressed this in one of the Q&A episodes but I'm curious to see what's changed)

Also while I'm here, thank you so much for creating this deliciously complex podcast, I started listening right before the series ended and it so quickly went to the top of favorites list (it lives alongside Wolf 359 and Ars Paradoxica for me.) I'm listening through for the 4th time now and there's still details I've missed before, I'm so happy to keep making little discoveries 💜💜💜

Thanks for this!

3. Inspiration: Wolf 359, obviously!

9. The Magnus Archives, Mabel, Malevolent, Small Victories, Moonbase Theta Out, Wooden Overcoats, and more recently Fawx and Stallion.

From the ask game:

7. If you could make a crossover (canon or noncanon) with any other audio drama, what would it be? (Also, have you done any other than with Moonbase Theta, Out?)

Thanks for the ask! Moonbase Theta, Out is the only one we've done, and probably the only one we would do, although never say never! We had such a fun and good experience working with Deej on that, and it was done in a way that made sense and didn't dilute either story.

Odd to say given the whole-ass AU episode we dropped, but I (Jackie) definitely prefer canon crossovers, and that's kind of a tough sell with The Pasithea Powder's self-contained world.

20 for the ask game!

20. (How) has your work managed to surprise you last year? God, the sheer amount of just improvement has been ridiculous, especially in my artwork. I am really happy that things actually look as they're supposed to, stories are coming out well...stuff like that.

18 and/or 25 for the creator ask game?

18. Can you pick a line/image fragment/etc of your work that encapsulates the last year best for you? "This is not the role for me or what I desire to make of myself." from A Sombre Letter.

I was going to try to do a more positive one since it's a positive meme, but it's honestly been a rough year with a lot of self reflecting on what I want in my life. I'm still figuring it out.

25. Can you share one to five favourites of the works you made last year?

Sure! The Blue Dress, Breathe, Growth of a Serpent, and Caution Tape!

The Blue Dress was the first time I wrote a transfemme character from her POV, Breathe was the first time I wrote something for a ship that I've enjoyed for literally a decade, Growth of a Serpent was created during a massive drop that came out as I wanted, and Caution Tape was a little experimental but really fun!
