I love how Arthur Lester casually throws the word “we” around wherever he goes, as if the people he’s talking to are supposed to know he’s possessed.

I love podcasts and their attitude toward religion/faith

Midnight Burger: Religion is not a reason to be a bigot. It should be encouragement to help others. With religion you should offer people comfort and support, not a tool of oppression.

Forgive me!: Religion and people involved with it are flawed. Maybe the true faith can be find in support and comfort of community around religion.

The Amelia Project: We faked deaths of multiple biblical characters and used The Bible as an advertisement pamphlet.

#love my trio of religion podcasts #I thought about making this post when H episode aired and now it fits even better #midnight burger #forgive me podcast #forgive me #the amelia project

we need to make the voidfish real so i can experience listening to taz balance for the first time all over again

#eliot posts #taz #taz balance #the adventure zone #i know that's technically not how the voidfish works #if i erased all knowledge of the adventure zone from my head using the voidfish #then i'd just be rendered completely unable to listen to the podcast bc all i'd hear is static #but god. to be knocked over by those twists again. to be baffled by the mysteries again. i want it so bad. #relistening to it and knowing everything is also Really Good and in some ways it's even BETTER the second time around w the knowledge #but it's not The Same as learning everything for the first time

Obviously the structure of an episodic series often requires characters to go from 'complete strangers' to 'close friends/family' in an unusually short amount of time. I get it.

Writers need a 'new guy' in the group to ask questions about the setting that the audience can't, but still (especially in comedy shows) want the fun dynamics that come from all the main cast knowing each other super well. It's one of those functional tropes like L-Shaped Blankets where you're required to suspend your sense of disbelief.

Having said that, I love when writers choose to take this trope and retroactively justify it by later on revealing that the Seemingly Normal Everyman Character is actually as unhinged as the rest of the group— it's just that their weirdness manifests specifically as an ability to form found family dynamics with literally any group they join, almost immediately after joining.

Like, you assumed that they just fit in so well because your group has a special vibe, but then you accidentally left them in the supermarket for like five minutes and by the time you realised and went back they were already Blood Brothers with the cashier.

Characters who are like friendly dogs in that you can put them essentially anywhere, with anyone, and they will just be like “welp! Guess this is my New Family now” and just go along with it.

#comedy #writing #tropes #been rewatching #derry girls #and noticing how james immediately takes on the percieved social norms #and tries to become part of #every group he's in #with admittedly varying success #put him in a room with a priest for five minutes #and he wants to be a priest #send him on a camping trip with 'lads' and he's acting deliberately blokey in an attempt to fit in #leave him for like half an hour with a group of travellers #and he's already fully part of the team #no wonder he became a derry girl so quick #also shout out to an even BETTER #but lesser known example of this trope #in the podcast #midnight burger #where the seemingly normal character who joined the crew #and fit in suspiciously quickly #gets lost in an alternate dimension alien wilderness for several weeks #and by the time the others find her she's literally just formed a new found family with the local wolves #and all the other characters are like ''what??'' #and then *thinking back over the past few weeks* #''nevermind that makes sense''

[ID: Two panels from Dungeon Meshi. The first scows Senshi clutching his face as tears start to spill out of his eyes, saying, "I've always... always wanted to have this soup one more time." He's not wearing his helmet in this panel, so his face is unusually visible, detailed and vulnerable. The second panel shows himself as a youngster, surrounded by his old mining team, all smiling at each other, one of them rubbing Senshi's head. Modern-day Senshi continues, "Thank you. All of you. Thank you." End ID.]

Holy shit. I anticipated some tragic backstory from the "I must feed the young ones" panels, but what I'd guessed was that Senshi might have become so devoted to cooking and eating literally whatever because he'd previously survived a famine and had seen children starve to death. I did not expect him to have been the child who was the sole survivor of a doomed travel party, one of whom was determined to feed Senshi first because he was the youngest, and that Senshi has lived with the fear of having inadvertently committed cannibalism by eating stew that he'd never quite known the contents of. I'm happy for him that Laios deduced and confirmed for him that it was griffin meat, that he was able to taste the meal that saved his life once more and remember the friends he lost. Seriously, I'm crying, and also earnestly relieved that while his backstory is pretty dark, it's not the type of fucked up I'd been preparing myself mentally for.

#Dungeon Meshi #Delicious in Dungeon #Dunmeshi #though it IS really worth exploring the ethics of cannibalism in survival situations #The podcast You're Wrong About has a really interesting pairing of episodes #in the Donner Party and Flight 571 Crash episodes #Both about disasters in which people wound up eating their dead to survive #and an interesting connection they drew was that it wasn't the cannibalism itself #that destroyed the lives of the Donner survivors #it was the horror and disgust and societal rejection they got for having eaten human flesh #even the children who had no idea what they were eating were treated with revulsion #and this is clearly the response Senshi feared facing if anybody knew what he'd eaten #But Flight 571 like a century later #the survivors were faced with a lot of understanding when rescued #relatively little condemnation and revulsion #by and large commentators acknowledged that they did what they had to do #and sympathized with how difficult and painful it must have been #which is what Senshi gets from his party #Laios wants to figure out the truth because he knows it's hurting Senshi not to know #But at one point Marcille straight up says that none of them would think less of Senshi if he did eat dwarf stew #Okay so this is Marcille 'ardent student of blood magic' Donato #but Chilchuck agrees #anyway I think that would be a particularly interesting conversation to have in a cooking manga #how do you safely eat a dead friend when that's all you have to survive on? #what are the nutritional benefits other than 'better than starving'? #what are the risks? There's prion diseases and all sorts you can get #they write it off as eating the dragon part but they DO spend seven days eating Falin at the end #ARE there any in/famous cannibalism cases in this world? #Do peopel argue about whether or not it's cannibalism if a dwarf eats a tallman? #enquiring minds (mine) want to know

man not to read too much into spahr's "there was a reason i picked him" about phineas but. i am always keeping in mind that spahr pulled phineas out of the delta personally. he didn't meet phineas as a prospective adsecla he met him as a scared little kid! maybe it wasn't so much that spahr actually thought phineas was the best choice as that he really wanted to believe he was. maybe without even being aware of it! how could he not want to believe in the rags to riches of it all? something that started with that scared little kid HE was able to help save? a tangible representation--beyond valor--of something good he did? but now of course that whole narrative has crumbled around him! phineas did something horrible (that was all spahr's fault as far as he's concerned) and now phineas is dead! that's it! story over! :)

#man i can't wait for him to see phineas again. i hope phineas is ACTIVELY in the middle of some traitorous activity when it happens. #or actively falling through a field of mica i'd settle for that too! #this whole post was almost in the tags of my last reblog but then i came to my senses and realized i should spare op and make my own. #midst #midst podcast #midst spoilers #midst podcast spoilers #i think there's also something to be said for phineas's desperation and drive being a quality spahr might have seen as an asset #that fire that propelled him to try so hard the entire time! something that spahr seems to relate to and so probably thought #would make phineas an even better adsecla! worked for jonas didn't it? :)))))))

i love Harlan Guthrie shows because I never know if the terrifying voice speaking from where no one should be is Harlan Guthrie (supposed to be dead), Harlan Guthrie (supposed to be trapped somewhere), or Harlan Guthrie (terrifying new thing that’s yet to be heard).

tw: mentions of assault

Listen, I get some people may not like Alicent and have reasons for not doing so and all. That's fine, you do you (within reason). However, what is really gross is to use that dislike for her as means to make jokes about her assault, whether through Viserys or Larys, but especially Larys. Like saying things like "oh but she gets to sell feet pics" or take her words of the Targaryens having queer customs (which they do, that wasn't a lie, everyone in Westeros knows they do) and acting like that foot scene discredits her, even though it's very obvious that she's very uncomfortable and that Larys frightens her (there are other scenes that show she does not like him and that he's a creep), all of this is gross. It also paints assault in a joking light, which should never happen. And this is such a disgustingly common thing that I see happen in the ASOIAF fandom for many of the female characters, some who are popular and some who aren't depending on who you ask, that it makes my skin crawl. And another thing, it's even more sinister seeing people who say they stand on the side of feminism, but then make fun of a female character being assaulted. Just say that your "feminism" only extends to the team/characters that you like and go.

#house of the dragon #hotd #alicent hightower #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #dance of the dragons #hbo max #tw mentions of assault #even the actor who plays larys called that scene what it was during a podcast but yet people lack media literacy #and i better not see anyone try to paint viserys as a good guy either bc it is very clear that alicent holds no attraction whatsoever #there are also people who make fun of heleana whether it be her mental state or any abuse she may have faced and it's gross and ableist

I’m gonna be strange in ur askbox …

Pheobe and Melody thoughts!! uh mm m

pheobe knows that she’ll never see Melody again. At least not for a while.

But she’ll talk to her. Even if she can’t hear her.

“Uh.. if you can hear me in the fabric of the universe, I miss you.”

And she’ll ramble on and on about what’s going on in her life. Maybe she’ll cry a little. Maybe she’ll cry a LOT.

can melody hear her from the other side? Maybe . Pheobe hopes she can.

Melody can hear her and listens to every word. Melody memorizes all of what Pheobe says. Melody will memorize what Pheobe says beat for beat and play the melody (get it?) in her head over and over again when she misses that damn ghostbuster.

Melody wishes she stayed, sometimes.

Melody wishes she didn’t let go, sometimes.

It gnaws at her spirit - it gnaws at the peace she feels in passing on.

But Pheobe is reminded of Melody’s weaving into the fabric of the universe when it’s the perfect temperature outside, when she gets a rush of adrenaline, when nights are quiet and she can work in peace.

Melody sprinkles little things into the world, just for her Pheobe.

The stars shine a little brighter and maybe for a little bit , Pheobe feels whole again.

you make me sick. thank you for sharing. im ill. (all /pos) UUGHAAHNFGG you GET IT. PHOEBE AND MELODY are THEEEE doomed yuri. the way that this relationship will irreparably affect her for the rest of her life. moving on is hard enough, but knowing that you were in love with a GHOST GIRL and you see her in EVERYTHING you do. phoebe takes doomed yuri and ramps it up a little 😭😭😭

i read something that was similar recently. i forgot where. but phoebe would talk about her feelings when she things no one is listening but secretly hope melody is listening. it helps her move on, even if she knows logically melody is gone. but is she really? she's in everything. she was everything. tells her about her day, about her family. how things get better, get easier, get worse sometimes. healing has never been a linear process after all :')

and then on the other side, melody :''') manifesting good things for phoebe. partially because of the tiny tugging guilt melody has for her lack of honesty - because phoebe had grown on her. she goes out of her way to just make the world a little bit lighter, a little bit kinder, more beautiful. phoebe grows a fondness for the moon, for the stars in the sky. for the warm evenings and cloudy mornings, for the busy-ness of new york city.

phoebe makes an effort to go to melody's diner routinely. she becomes a regular. she just misses her. so much.

(i accidentally KEPT rambling in the tags. i didnt mean to T_T)

#and i dont blame her #some of my most soulcrushing relationships happened when i was 15-16 and even as an adult i carry that with me now #it gets easier because you learn to move on #but she's not quite there yet #she's still learning to love and learn how to be alive #melody helps her learn to feel alive again #honestly phoebe probably falls into a state of depression after frozen empire #the guilt from her feelings overcoming her rational and accidentally almost causing the end of the world #and then knowing she's been used by a girl she Really Liked #and then feeling surrounded by this girl. all the time. im sure sometimes she doesnt even feel like she deserves to be a ghostbuster #her family help #podcast helps #but i think ray helps the most and tells her about stories the ghostbusters used to do #and she learns about her grandpa who also did silly things sometimes #and she will be okay :') she will learn #things will get easier - better even #phoebe and melody #ghostbusters #ghostbusting #ghostbusters frozen empire #phoebe spengler #melody ghostbusters #mangobango #checkmatch #phelody
