Happy 10th birthday to my favorite beloved/beloathed/everything-in-between podcast, The Black Tapes Podcast!

okay technically its birthday was a few days ago according to Paul Bae but the website says the first episode was uploaded May 25th so fuck it

[strixa]

I finally managed to finish The Silt Verses.

And I’m okay.

And it only took, what, seven years after that TBTP “Mid-Season” “Finale,” to do that?

Yeah.

Hey, The Black Tapes Podcast fans! It’s spooky season and the fifth anniversary of season 3. (Sigh.) That’s already cause for a Relisten and that was before Paul Bae posted this on twitter. So what do you say? When works for you? This all happens through the discord and here is a hopefully permanent link to that!

A Long Time Coming

Hey everyone! 

So technically I’m about.... three months late with this post. I had meant to post it shortly after @strandrichard-archive made their farewell announcement, but I honestly had drafted this so many time in my mind’s eye I forgot to write the dang thing. 

But anywho, to the point. Like Azzy, I made the hard decision to close this blog for good, and will soon be adding the “archive” to the url as well to make it official. It was not an easy choice in large part because I truly have had such a wonderful time writing Alex and crafting the stories that we have made here, and I have so enjoyed interacting with all of you through the many asks and ideas you all have sent. 

I was given the opportunity to run this blog after it’s creation, and I can honestly say I am still incredibly thankful I agreed to do it. It has been truly wonderful, has challenged my writing, and made me think about narrative in new and creative ways. It was a labour of love for me, but as you well know, life has been hectic these last few years, 2020 included. I graduated with my Bachelor’s straight into a pandemic, and that plus another boatload of other things have taken the motivation and focus that I would have needed to maintain this blog, and I didn’t feel it fair to leave it open, hanging, and unfinished. 

Thank you all so much again for this little niche within this fandom community, and thank you as well for letting me share my stories. It’s been an honor. 

Love you!

So, we’ve reached the end.

Hi everyone.

So, this has probably been somewhat of a long time coming, but I’ve made the difficult decision to close this blog down permanently. I don’t feel that it’s right for me to keep trying to force things along here when I haven’t truly had the motivation to do so in a long time. A lot of things happened in 2020 (putting it extremely mildly)- the pandemic happened, I got engaged, got sick with Covid, got over Covid- It’s been a ride. 

I really wanted to make this post as a proper goodbye, but also as a thank you. You guys really stuck by me with all of the bs that came with running Richard’s blog, and quite honestly, this was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. It was really fun, even with all of the drama, and I enjoyed the challenge of finding my own voice for our favourite skeptic.

So thank you, it was truly a fantastic time. I’ll keep the blog up as an archive, so posts won’t leave or anything. I like to go back and read them, too. 

It’s been an honor, thank you so much for following and enjoying Richard and Alex’s narratives. Love you all!

So you may have heard that there’s a The Black Tapes Cards Against Humanity Deck! These cards have mostly come from the suggestions of the lovely people in the @tbtp-relisten discord! We typically play on Pretend your Izzy and the cards can be imported there or other places! If you’re interested in playing, please hop in the Relisten discord and see if there’s other people around. 

If there are more cards you’d like to see, the asks here are open, as are the submissions! Cards will probably be added in chunks! Please enjoy!

I Know I Made You Leave (But I Would Follow you Anywhere) a playlist for Alex Reagan/Richard Strand for @the-wonderful-jinx to go Along with her Unsound Anniversary Fic

Enter // The Birthday Massacre 

Didn't see the risk/ In spilling my desire out /It came in like a dream/ And left me like a nightmare /I know I made you leave/ But i would follow you anywhere

Doom Days // Bastille 

When I watch the world burn, all I think about is you./ When I watch the world burn, all I think about is you

Talk // Hozier 

I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things I would do/ So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you/ I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things we could do So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you

I Found // Amber Run

And I've moved further than I thought I could/ But I missed you more than I thought I would/ And I'll use you as a warning sign/ That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

Blame // Bastille

"You've got the power and control" / don't pin it all on me/ Don't pin it all on me/ Don't blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)/ Oh blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)

I Will Possess Your Heart // Deathcab for Cutie

How I wish you could see the potential/ The potential of you and me / It’s like a book elegantly bound / But in a language that you can't read just yet

Pretty Girl (The Way) // Sugarcult

She's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego and / Her killer instinct tells her to beware of evil men / And that's what you get for falling again / You can never get 'em out of your head

You’re Mine // Phantogram

Yeah I had my demons / Crawling like a spider up my spine / I spotted you the second I walked in the building / I knew that you would let me get you high / I wanna hear the things you say when no one's listening  /  But that don't matter anyway, 'cause you're mine

Delirious // Susanne Sundfør

You won't let go, you won't give in / Till every part of you is suffering / It's the strangest thing, it's deliberate / Done with intent, without repent

I Know I’m a Wolf // The Young Heretics 

And I've captured you once but I wasn't quite right  /  So I'm telling you that you'll be safe with me.  /  Oh rabbit, my claws are dull now so don't be afraid  / I could keep you warm as long as you can just try to be brave

A Little Death // The Neighbourhood 

Touch me, yeah / I want you to touch me there / Make me feel like I am breathing / Feel like I am human, again

Sacrifice // London After Midnight 

darkness, is all i want to see / never put into words / what it is you mean to me / i'd sacrifice / i'd sacrifice myself to you / right here tonight / because you know that i love you
