"Because today, miraculously, I met the love of my life. Her name, is Juniper Sumac. And she is... everything"
Hiiiii, my name is toad, or Jack, or whatever you decide. Choose your own adventure.
Anyways I just found the coolest most amazing podcast ever and it is eating me from the inside out. Its name?
Something's Amiss at Juniper's House
So let me start. Do you like Hunter×Hunter? Do you like Alice Isn't Dead? Do you like Twilight or Supernatural? Would you like twilight or Supernatural way more if they were written by a queer person who acknowledges the problematic behaviors and genuine romantic potential that their characters have together? Well boy howdy, is this the show for you!
Now, I personally feel like its got similar vibes to First Kill, the lesbian teen coming of age story about a vampire and a monster hunter who fall in love much like romeo and juliet. Rip First Kill, you had so much to offer but Netflix murdered you. But like, if First Kill was mixed with True Blood, or at least the first couple episodes. I like vampire shows. However, if youre not quite sure what any of that meant, here are some things the creator, Kayla Temshiv, and other production members have called it:
"We've got some heavy Hunter×Hunter inspiration in here"
"Its fully Hunter×Hunter"
"Its genderbent Supernatural"
"I've been describing it to people 'if Twilight was queer and addressed how problematic it was'
You can see why I chose the shows I did as examples. Also, a couple fun tidbits from Juniper's VA and SAaJH's number one fan, Brooke Jennett;
"I excited for everybody to hear the arc of a certain character, and have to go through what I went through, where... its just not going to be as easy as you think it is."
"There are no heroes, but if there's one, its not who you think."
Ahhhhh goosebumps. I love mystery.
Fear not, Its not quite vampires... i dont think... but we'll get there. As of making this, only 7 episodes have been released, with 7 more on the way. And those 7 are phenomenal. The voice acting draws you in so quickly, and the sound design really puts you in the world. Its so richly designed for such a low budget production, its crazy. I love this podcast, its like a whole nother world. If you like TMA, or WTNV, or ESPECIALLY Alice Isn't Dead, this podcast is really on par storytelling wise.
I hate describing things, Im horrible at it. Anyways If that did anything for you GO LISTEN TO THE TRAILER, GO GO GO.
Better yet, GO LISTEN TO THE SERIES, PLEASE GOD, GO LISTEN.
I will not let this die, I will fund it myself. If Something's Amiss at Juniper's House has no fans, I was murdered.
But yeah, speaking of funds they have a patreon. Get this, the highest tier? 5 WHOLE DOLLARS A MONTH. TO UNLOCK EVERYTHING. I KNOW, CRAZY CHEAP. I am a proud patron, and I think YOU should be too! But of course thats not an option for some people so if youd like to support but cant, stream the ever loving shit out of it, rate it, and review it!<333
And, if you want a fandom for it~
Hi. Stay on this blog awhile!
