Witchpunk

Would it be OK if I tried to transmit some of the recorded ukulele songs? Some Heavy Astro songs?

Continuing the Sims Pod Girls series, one girl stood out above the rest when I considered for who was going through the horrors.

Welcome to Simsixtence, Sister Carpenter. I promise you that in this new world there is no god but me and I'm too easily distracted to put you through anything worse than a fruit cake.

I also wanted to take a swing at Alice and Roya of Witchpunk for this prompt. I think even for only having the one season, they've seen some shit.

🧪 I can't believe I forgot to talk about @theholmwoodfoundation's new bonus episode last week. The sheer...I guess I'm looking for the word brutality, in the way that Elena was treated by the foundation definitely shows it to be a different sort of organization than (I bet) Mina ever meant it to be. But maybe I'm wrong; this is not the first time Holmwood's played with an "alternate history" sort of Dracula interpretation. Can't wait for more.

🦄 Let's hear it for Witchpunk's first season! I really love what @citeogs did with this series. It's hard for a piece of media to capture just how doomed cyberpunk feels for its characters, but Witchpunk frikkin did that, with some of the most excellent political worldbuilding I've seen in a long time. I love this show, I love the characters, I love the story.

⬛️ Like, what do I even say about @midnightburgr? That it made me cry this week? It made me cry this week. I'm really proud of Casper's character development and his newfound sense of fatherhood. Trying no matter what (even if it's hopeless) because it matters is such an important message right now.

💻 I had the pleasure of meeting maybe like, 80% of the @san-lazaro-podcast team at @tafcon, and boy oh boy did those delightful humans make we want to hear their show. And THEN, what do I find but the most compelling opener for a zombie apocalypse story that I have ever heard? The absolute finesse of the three story prologues that currently make up Radio San Lazaro is incredible. If you want a masterclass in writing (and then an excellent example of how to run a volunteer project!), check this show out.

🌔 I'd be remiss if I didn't mention The Harbingers, which wrapped up its first season this week with a bang. I'm not always a fan of the way Gabriel Urbina builds characters, but I can't argue with his storylines. This show slaps. Of course no one's getting away with sending Boston to the moon; that doesn't mean the story’s over.

🍂 I want to get a little more attention on the crowdfund for Fallen Memories! It’s a warm and cozy audio drama that I happen to know has been in the works for ages, and darnit, I want to hear it! Give them your money! Their first episode is up on youtube now!

The sixth episode is out now. In this one, a visitor visits, a shadow lurks. Question is: was it the devil crawling up MS Svalbard, or was it all just a fever dream?  

I hope you like it!
