Midnight Radio

This podcast was a sweet, slow listen of a love story, that was also about loving and hating your hometown and what it means to leave it, or to come back. Sybil the radio announcer has a lovely voice, which is good, because we mostly hear her. Do wish we got to hear Amelia, as much as ambiguity might have been the point.

I was very moved by Amelia telling Sybil she wants to take her to the planetarium, which I didn't expect. Between this and TLOU2 I just have feelings about characters bringing other characters to natural science museums.

Fanwork Recs

(Critical Role) This person's songs for each of the Nein are so, so good. Perfect understanding of the characters displayed in both the lyrics and music. Particular favorites are Fjord's, Beau's and Jester's.

(Starship Iris) All The Numbers Between Zero And One by vachtar - F!Park & McCabe going on a stakeout, a great gift fic I received in the Rule 63 Exchange.

Writing

Wrote a couple of Critical Role fics, including one for the aforementioned R63 Exchange.

a question, not an answer (Beau/F!Caleb) - Caleb is a woman. That makes things go a little different with Beauregard.

Fragile Opening (Beau/Yasha) - After the battle with Vokodo, Yasha asks an unexpected question of Beau.

(I continue to be unimpressed with the wanky parts of CritRole fandom, because I managed to get rude comments on the most default type of genderswap fic. Giant fandoms, sigh.)
