finishing my relisten of season three for the first time since the big '19 is genuinely like having my teeth pulled after the GLORIOUS experience that was s2. just exhilarating. phyreses and aries. was it the red king kitty. incredible. all the nic/karl crumbs. unbelievable. the last thing i want to know about right now after all of that is if nic is putting his ipad on night shift or his fake wife or assumedly fake callie or the horn or the tooth or the evil tanis shard OR RUSSIA.

karl is such a catty bitch after he comes back from hell and i think that that’s one of the most beautiful things that could happen to a man

rabbits is one of the worst books i’ve ever read but i have to say i didn’t know terry miles had it in him to write gay characters for real like that. even though i assumed k was a dude for the whole book so far until i was looking at goodreads reviews

Hey guys you should totally get into this thing i like. Yeah it's mid at best. It also aged poorly. You'll get nothing out of it at all. You'll like the idea of it more than the actual thing. But at least only takes half your natural lifespan to finish it

Something interesting i just thought about tanis is how the characters act and speak to each other. It's the familiarity to each other. Like they all are on first name basis with each other and obviously nic and Geoff and MK hang out outside of what we hear but it also feels like everyone knows/ is familiar or has a history with each other too.

I think it's like when you're exploring something as small and niche as tanis that very few know about then of course your obviously going to end up meeting/ getting to know the few other people that are also interested in it.

Nic is obviously looking into these people so he sorta ends up with a weird relationship with them cuz he knows stuff about all of them they havent told him, but everyone in the show also listens to nics podcast so they all know what he thinks of them and how he feels and personal things about him

Everyone in the show ends up having this kinda weird parasocial relationship with each other where they all know a bunch of stuff about each other that they havent told each other.

It's also the fact that no one in tanis genuinely feels truly antagonistic, they all just have differing opinions on what tanis is, how it should be studied and used and so it puts them at odds but theres also this kind of unspoken comradary between them because they all want to know what this is and so even if they don't agree with each other viewpoint wise they all still kind of end up helping each other. Paul and ellis both call nic all the time and give him cryptic clues about things they know or have found out, paul knows veronika even though we never actually hear them talk to each other so all of these people are interacting with each other and sort of sharing their collective knowledge with each other, just being kinda like not 100 percent trusting each other just because of their different ideologies.

It makes it feel like it's this small group of enthusiasts all trying to figure out this big unknown and sharing their thoughts and things they have found out with each other while keeping certain things close to the chest or private because of differences but everyone really is trying to get to the same thing which is the truth of tanis.

Tesla nova kind of seems too get this because of the point where they say that they believe it's important that they all be working towards the same goal of understanding the breach and helping others looking into it like nic.

Tanis is just a truly unknowable thing and I love that basically the whole show is just having this impossible and unknowable thing and seeing how different people/ groups grapple with that and react to it and come to terms with it. Some turn to the false comfort of religion and worship and some turn to the false comfort that modern science can explain everything in the universe and some keep chasing a truth that can never truly be reached or understood.

[taniscentral]

ugh yes you’re so correct about this

[echolivesintanis]

I literally told my therapist about tanis yesterday 💀

[taniscentral]

Curious if you/anyone is on the Patreon these days. Want to know if the very infrequent updates are worth it.

imo it is definitely not worth it to the average tanis enjoyer. there are very infrequent newsletters that say absolutely nothing. yeah ig there is extra content but nothing life changing. terry’s audio drama days are definitely in the past. don’t waste your money.

sorry I love this painfully mid media so much I could throw up
