first guy to sell hotcakes was probably like hooooly fuck
just got an idea for a banger couples shirts design
Harrow and Gideon are the duo of all time. Iconic. I love them. I don't know any of these other people but they don't stand a chance against these idiot lesbians who hate each other
the problem with employment is it gives you money to purchase video games but it takes away your time to play video games. Mao spoke of this
Does anyone have any recommendations of podcasts that aren’t about death or murder or politics or just other depressing things? Are there any fun and silly podcasts out there? They can be, like, fictional stories, or just someone talking about something. I just PLEASE need recommendations :((
Sure! I'm not sure how non-depressing you want them, so I've played it safe and picked out ten fiction podcasts that I've found good pick-me-ups:
Absolutely No Adventures: (fantasy) A young baker is the chosen one of about a dozen prophecies. He's happy to help out, on the condition that he will be going on absolutely no adventures.
Community Cat News: (Comedy) A radio show by cats, for cats
The Far Meridian: (Slipstream/magical realism) An agorophobic young woman wakes up to find her lighthouse home has moved somewhere completely new overnight. As it continues to travel, she uses the opportunity to look for her missing brother.
Middle:Below: (Supernatural/ Urban Fantasy) Two humans, a ghost, and a cat go on various adventures together to fix ghostly problems.
Sidequesting: (fantasy, adventure, all-ages) Rion is an adventurer like no other: they only do side quests! A wholesome show about avoiding the plot
Skyjacks: Courier's Call: (TTRPG, fantasy, adventure, all-ages) In a world of magic, sky pirates, and giant, rideable birds, three teens become apprentices aboard a flying postal ship.
Starfall: (Fantasy, adventure) A runaway swordswoman finds a place to escape her past with a travelling acting troupe, and discovers the literal and metaphorical magic of the theatre.
Stories From Ylemore: (Fantasy, all-ages) In a modern magical world, three kids (a witch, a werewolf, and a curse-bearer) go on adventures together and make a podcast about it.
The Vesta Clinic: (Sci-fi) Patient records from an interspecies walk-in doctor's clinic on the edge of human space.
Wizard Seeking Wizard: (Comedy, fantasy, romance) A dating show for wizards, hosted by a match-mage to pass the time after being trapped in an orb by his apprentice. Every episode, hear from four wizards looking to go on a romance, friendship, rivalry, or collaborator date, and then next episode hear from the two that got paired up about how their date went.
If you like any specific genres of media or are looking for anything specific, let me know! I've played it pretty safe and might be able to tailor some more recs a little better.
Additional fun audio dramas (short descriptions bc I'm on mobile)
Me & AU - a sweet sapphic romance set in a fandom for a CW-ish fantasy tv series
Unprescribed Journeys - guided meditations that get a little weird
Travelling Light - a sci fi travelogue with a narrator whose voice and style is like a warm blanket
October Jones & Fish With Legs - a fantasy adventure that is just as fun as the title implies
His Royal Fakin' Highness - somehow they made Hamlet as a romcom... And it works
THE EGGS YOU GAVE ME ALL DIED AND YOU LIED TO ME SO I DID THE IMPLANTATION MYSELF YOU SELF-SERVING ZOMBIE AND YOU STILL SENT HIM AFTER ME AND I WOULD HAVE HAD HIM IF I HADN’T BEEN COMPROMISED AND HE TOOK PITY ON ME! HE TOOK PITY ON ME! HE SAW ME AND HE TOOK PITY ON ME
AND FOR THAT I’LL MAKE YOU BOTH SUFFER UNTIL YOU NO LONGER UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THAT GODDAMNED WORD
HIM I’LL KILL QUICK BECAUSE SHE ASKED ME TO AND BECAUSE THAT MUCH HE HONESTLY DESERVES BUT YOU TWO MUMMIFIED WIZARD SHITS I WILL BURN AND BURN AND BURN AND BURN UNTIL THERE IS NO TRACE OF YOU LEFT IN THE SHADOW OF MY LONG-LOST NATAL SUN.
WILL REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOU KISSED ME—YOU APOLOGISED—YOU SAID, I AM SORRY, DESTROY ME AS I AM, BUT I WANT TO KISS YOU BEFORE I AM KILLED, AND I SAID TO YOU WHY, AND YOU SAID, BECAUSE I HAVE ONLY ONCE MET SOMEONE SO UTTERLY WILLING TO BURN FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVED IN, AND I LOVED HIM ON SIGHT, AND THE FIRST TIME I DIED I ASKED OF HIM WHAT I NOW ASK OF YOU
I KISSED YOU AND LATER I WOULD KISS HIM TOO BEFORE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU WERE, AND ALL THREE OF US LIVED TO REGRET IT—BUT WHEN I AM IN HEAVEN I WILL REMEMBER YOUR MOUTH, AND WHEN YOU ROAST DOWN IN HELL I THINK YOU WILL REMEMBER MINE
THE ONLY THING OUR CIVILIZATION CAN EVER LEARN FROM YOURS IS THAT WHEN OUR BACKS ARE TO THE WALL AND OUR TOWERS ARE FALLING ALL AROUND US AND WE ARE WATCHING OURSELVES BURN
WE RARELY BECOME HEROES.
-Commander Awake Remembrance of These Valiant Dead Kia Hua Ko Te Pai Snap Back to Reality Oops There Goes Gravity, Harrow the Ninth
Your partner came back from the dead after being missing for decades. Every one of their friends who they went with ended up dying a horrible death.
Now, somehow, their entire mental health is based on the continued life and happiness of this fairground goldfish that they picked up.
Neither of you know the first thing about how to care for even a healthy fish. This fish has been poorly cared for, has multiple diseases and the person who handed it over explicitly didn't expect it to live nearly as long as it already has.
You're frantically googling how to set up a fish tank, where to buy fish food, can you even take a fish to the vet? Your partner wants you to know that they're happy they made it home and survived their horrific ordeal, but also that if anything happens to the fish then they're going to kill everyone on this planet and then themself.
You're honestly wondering if you're even helping the fish, or just prolonging its suffering, but your partner will only accept medical help for their many injuries or engage in basic self-care once they're confident that the fish is being looked after.
So you get a tank. You set up a filter and all that stuff. You learn way more than you ever wanted to know about water temperature and ph and nitrate levels. The fish is safe. You start to develop some affection for the little guy. Your partner begins to recover. The fish begins to recover.
Which is when you learn that in its 'healthy' state, the fish regularly refuses to sleep when tired, keeps begging for food that is obviously unhealthy for it (and struggling to eat the food that you do provide because “it tastes gross”), and continually tries to persuade your partner to take it out of its nice safe tank so it can go explore the wonderful world of Outside, where the slightest mishap will kill it instantly.
Your name is Adrian, and you kind of wants to strangle this fucking fish, statement.
you seem sad, have some dirks
I love helping everyone rediscover the fact that the opening passage of My Immortal is a parody of the opening passage of The Vampire Lestat and not just a generic exaggeration of the typical fanfic Mary Sue introduction. One of the many delightful goth kid Easter eggs the author planted for the audience.
Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).
I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.
out of the tags with you
consider me mercymorn the first's biggest fan. nobody will ever speak to me like she does. the woman she is and has been 🙂↕️ they truly could never make me hate her because honestly i'd have been a LOT worse in her situation
but to be slightly more serious, i think the fact a lot of the other characters use her position as saint of joy against her is quite sad. it's comical that a woman so obnoxious and generally unpleasant is saint of joy, of all things, but i think the fact john and augustine especially hold it against her for laughs is horrifically unfair considering that the reason she's so sour is because she's traumatised and horrified by everything she's experienced. with gideon it's understandable, she makes a joke out of everything and doesn't know why mercy is the way she is, but with john and augustine it's different—they've known her for a myriad plus some, and yet they still turn her title into a joke whenever she expresses negativity (which, granted, is a lot). they have some serious misogyny to work through and i propose mercy be given a gun and let loose.
