It is Bandcamp Friday! Bandcamp will waive any cuts of sales made on the site today, making it the best day to support your favourite musicians and noise makers!

🌙 I love @keepitsteadypod so much. Not gonna lie, I was worried that Tori and Cody would react badly to the Navarros’ help—either push away any help at all, including Zach’s, or just disappear into the wind—but it looks like maybe everything’s gonna be okay? Like Tori I am hesitant to hope, but the hope is still there. And the way even this develops Zach and Gabe’s little romance is DELICIOUS. Yeah you go have that cute museum date, idiots.

🐏 What a finale! @landsendpod finished its series with the land becoming what it wanted to be—sharp, defensive, not to be trifled with, and feral in a way nobody associates with sheep. Free, like Meadow wanted. I don’t love that Sabine knew all along??? But I do love that the Shepherd didn’t push Isaac all the way away, recognizing that Isaac actually does get it. He gets the Shepherd! He wants him in any form! It’s good! What a good show. I have no idea what a season two would look like, but if Bibi June makes it, I will be there with popcorn.

🏴‍☠️ I can’t believe Valentin isn’t good enough to be a fish saint! I am enthralled with the way @levianpodcast-desperado does colonialism, classism, religious bigotry—even if the god of teeth chooses someone, the powers that be get to refuse? I guess like all imprisonment, Valentin’s sentence is just another way to sweep undesirables out of the way. Chum for the water. The worldbuilding of this show is incredible.

🐷 Hearthbound had me worried there for a second! Listen, a post-apocalyptic pork-based restaurant is always a matter of concern, but given Circe’s reputation, I had extra concerns. But all is well, and we got to watch Odessa absolutely obliterate a couple of nasty thieving dudes, which is beyond satisfying. She really is living up to the rep for cleverness in this adaptation.

☢️ I’ve been turning the Curse of the Weeping Damsel over and over in my mind since listening to the last episode this week. The ambiguity that comes with a legend fulfilled (but by who?), the satisfaction with the bad guy having to pay for his crimes, and the fact that Sandy doesn’t have to remember who she was in order to regain what she lost…it’s a strong start to what I hope is a good long anthology. Hey @lockboxpod, new story when?

🪑 @storiesfromylelmore is back!! And the stakes are high, as Elas’ curse has come back into play in a big way. I’m also very into the idea of Ruvyn on a journey of villain decay—she’s awful, but she could be so good, you know? I believe ItMe said this will be Ylelmore’s final season, and given this particular setup and Ylelmore’s penchant for embracing the bittersweet, I am worried. But also psyched.

🖥️ I find @clinical-space-podcast so chewy, like mentally—which is what it’s supposed to be, like a good episode of Star Trek. I really liked this episode, the second in a set, which is about a newly conscious AI who destroys things when he’s lonely. Which I find infinitely relatable. This might change as the show goes on, but the consistent theme is that people need each other SO MUCH. This is not about space heroes and individualism. The crew of this ship is in this thing together, and Dr. Graves is vital to that mission.

The same scene, two moods: Color softens the story. Black and white sharpens the emotion.

Can’t pick which one I prefer.

“The time is almost nigh. Soon the Foundation shall see what myself and Lands End can do that it’s Girls and Frames fail to.”

Progress update of the primary kitbash.

The shoulder thrusters may change along with the parts in using for the wait side guards. But it depends on how things go after the next batch of kits arrives~
