An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Follow the Leader (Podcast) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Marnie Sands, Dave (Follow the Leader), Birdie (Follow the Leader), Thorn (Follow the Leader), Ningal (Follow the Leader) Additional Tags: Canon Compliant, post arc 104, bottle episode Series: Part 1 of Lost Keys Summary:
Marnie continues to adjust to life in the Hotel.
Now that all of arc 104 is out, I can finally post the thing that has occupied so much of my creative energy since we first recorded these episodes. Please enjoy a novella’s worth of words about these dumb kids. (Part two is also available here.)
Evening reblog! If you want most of the context for this, go listen to episodes 104.1, 104.2, and 104.3. If you want more context, you can listen to 84.1, 84.2, 85.1, and 85.2. And if you want full context, you can throw in 46.1 and 46.2. But really only 104 is necessary to understand and enjoy this fic.
Who wants to hear fun facts about Marnie Sands?
@hawthorneox - Marnie started life as a female expy of a male character, but quickly took on a life of her own to the point that I don't think she's recognizable as an expy anymore.
@succulentstuff - In most settings, Marnie is either a clone or genetically engineered somehow, even if it never comes up in play. This is in part because of the character she's an expy of. Even if it doesn't come up, I try to at least subtly indicate something isn't "normal" about her, like with how she played Polybius without any ill effects in arc 104.
@jadeoxfordrose - You already know a lot of fun facts about Marnie, but her name is maritime-themed because of who she's an expy of also having a vaguely maritime-themed name.
@bipolyjack - Marnie could probably be considered to be a monsterfucker considering that she ended up in a relationship with two eldritch entities pretty gladly lol
@parsleysagerosemarytimemachine - I think Marnie is the only cis character I regularly play on FTL. At the very least, she doesn't feel any particular dysphoria that would motivate her to interrogate her gender. I don't know that she's ever given it any particular thought one way or the other, but if she did, she'd still come to the conclusion that she's a girl.
@charaznablescanontoyota - Marnie's hair is blue with acid green tips as a form of wish fulfillment because I've always thought that would look cool but never pulled the trigger on giving that hair color to anyone until Marnie came along. Tbh if I could stand having longer hair, I'd probably go for her hairstyle myself, but alas, I cannot stand having hair that long.
@wendy-comet - Despite her hair being blue, I think Marnie's favorite color is probably green or purple, depending on the day. But then again, depending on the situation I like to think that Marnie naturally has blue hair as a byproduct of said being a clone/genetic engineering, so it's not necessarily a choice she makes to have blue hair.
Marnie Sands, woman that you are.
Marnie situations: The Colour Under Blue and/or Umbra show up at the hotel // Voicemails left on Milo's phone from Marnie updating him on events // A copy of Catan appears in the lost & found // The official opening of the newly refurbished pool means finding a swimsuit.
It's not WIP Wednesday anymore, and I know I gave you a link to the doc, but here's a snippet of what is shaping up to be Lost Keys Part 3 for the rest of the world. :3 (Obvs it is involving the arc 104 setting but is also set post-arc 110.)

The CRIT (Creator Recognition In TTRPG) Awards: a peer driven TTRPG award show.
Hey, I know I don't talk about my podcast here as much as I probably should, but Follow the Leader is up for a CRIT Award for best legacy podcast! The voting period is open until August 23rd, and if you've gotten even a little bit of joy out of what we do, it'd mean a lot to me if you tossed a vote our way!

I think they should just start calling laws "EWWW you are not a cooperation? Die", that would at least be honest

i love that discord doesn't tell you if someone's read your messages. like genuinely. normalize others not needing every second of your time right away. normalize taking time to formulate a proper answer. normalize this.

Hidden PCB silkscreen art
Slide 2 of 2
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
What you're looking at is a subtle artistic inside joke within the world of electrical and hardware engineering.
During the design process of PCB's, engineers have to map out the board's silkscreen (aka the nonconductive layer of apoxy ink, typically in white, black or yellow, that is used to indicate components, design, and test points). This is an essential part of circuit board building that is an integral part of the design process, serving as essentially a communicative manual to anyone servicing it, or something fun to find for teardowns. Think of it as a medical diagram to the board's meat and bones. It is layered on top of the solder mask which in turn protects the copper of the board from corrosion.
Many designers opt to put hidden messages, symbols or popculture references within the leftover/non-essential spaces as a fun way to connect them to their work. It's a piece of the artist within the art, and acts as a fun little real life easter egg to anyone brave enough to open up the tech housing it.
They don't serve any functional purpose to the board, but they sure are cool :)

If anyone would like to read a thorough take down of Sparta as a state not worth emulating, then ive got just the series of articles for you!
Reblogging because pissing on Sparta is one of my hobbies. And yes, totally check out the link above. Brett has a lot of great discussion and scholarship on why Sparta was proto-fascist garbage, and he presents it with both snark and accessibility.
Holy shit. That’s… that’s worse than I thought it would be. Yikes.
Reblogging because more people should read the ACOUP Sparta takedown and fewer people should get their concept of history from fucking 300.
No one should get their concept of history from 300, and I say that as someone who enjoyed 300. 300 is a comicbookification of a legend, and legends are already exaggerations.
A Great Divorce has also done an audio version of the ACOUP Spart takedown if audio is easier for you!
