All my recent Tango's are so deeply in love with Jimmy, like devotionally in love with this guy.

And thats the Peacefield effect.

New Podfic alert! @phoenix_soar on Ao3 has a lovely fic called "Stella Maris", wherein Crawly sees a new star being made badly and goes up to have some Words about it. Now it's in podfic form! Link to pod: https://archiveofourown.org/works/70697286

Link to fic if you'd rather just read it yourself: https://archiveofourown.org/works/67258663

Good times, either way. I hope you all enjoy the story! It is delightful!

Very Respectfully,

SkyAsimaru

Why is it that in the Detective Conan anime, when it comes to the episodes I've seen, Conan's thoughts are narrated by an older sounding actor compared to Conan's voice actor, but Haibara's thoughts aren't narrated by an older sounding actor and still sound like a child?

Conan's inner monologue in the original japanese dubbing and story narration is by the same voice actress, Minami Takayama. She simply speaks in a more mature tone, to portray Conan's serious and mature side. It's only in the english dub that they had Shinichi's voice actor play the inner-monologue role and narration.

As evolutionarily fascinating as the Stormfront Early Warning System is, I wish there was an off switch. Like thank you to my knees but I have gotten the memo and you can stop hurting now, actually.

and another thing about reading the locked tomb & terra ignota interleaved: both absolutely excel at unreliable narration. not “we’re not talking about The Incident,” not coyly insinuating that there’s Something the Reader Doesn’t Know, not misdirection, just straightup zero indicators of the relative reality of any given scene. the acknowledgment by the perspective characters of their rather loose grasp on concepts like truth & objectivity; their awareness of the fallibility of their perceptions; their frustration with or resignation to their own states, their absolute willingness to lie like rugs to cover for themselves. like, i’ve done the psychosis thing, i’ve done the non-recreational hallucinating thing, it’s desperately weird & horrible but also just - how things were, at the time, to me, & explaining it to people who were not me was impossible, & these two aren’t trying to make it palatable, aren’t editing themselves (aside from the editing in terra ignota frame) - 

narration & perspective in written work can be used as a guide, but it can also be used as a scalpel, & muir & palmer are both expert surgeons
