Howdy!

During this mid-season break, we are thrilled to feature the first episode of one of our favorite shows: The Diaries of Netovicius The Vampire by the wonderful Hugo Martin Pierre!

(If you'd like to read our little review (and fanart) for Netovicius, you can check out our previous post here).

Netovicius is currently raising funds for future episodes, so if you're a Valorant fan and would like a customized voicemail from Frenchman Chamber himself, or a special voice note from our favorite rabbit-loving vampire, you can check out Hugo's Streamily here.

You can also support the show by reposting this post, recommending Netovicius online and offline, or dropping a rating & review!

(As a creator, I can't express the immense value of a rating or a quick comment/review does to boost visibility, especially for small indie productions!)

You can also check out the first episode here on Spotify and here on YouTube - I guarantee you will fall in love with Neto as quickly as I did!

And as always, if you do like what you hear, please remember to give the show a follow and some love <3

Netovicius or Neto for short is an artist first, a vampire second, but for now he's being kicked out of his historic Beacon Hill, Boston Mass attic apartment and having to relocate to an abandoned building in Woonsocket Rhode Island. After almost 1000 years of life, you'd think he could find a little peace, but it's only a matter of time before the past comes calling. A story about vampires but ultimately about recovery, from trauma, from addictions, even from cults. Brought to you by Hugo Pierre Martin and a cast known for projects like Valorant, Overwatch, Diablo IV, and more.

i made a small animation gif of an audiodrama I've been listening to, The Diaries of Netovicius, it's hella yeah! Go check it out gang! It was created by Hugo Pierre Martin, the voice of Chamber from Valorant.

i actually don't know someone should find out for me.

Howdy folks! We are excited to talk about our featured friend of the show, The Diaries of Netovicius the Vampire, by the wonderful Hugo Pierre Martin!

The Diaries of Netovicius the Vampire is a fantasy audio series whose first episode was written and recorded on a whim by Hugo Pierre Martin, the voice actor behind Frenchman Chamber in the popular video game Valorant.

Neto is a brilliant series that begins as an intimate audio diary of the titular character before expanding to include more characters and cast members. We follow Neto as he moves into a new home and a new city, and as he reflects upon old memories as new ones are formed.

There is so much tenderness and tragedy in the story, which weaves through the underlying humour of the show (Hugo balances the light and the dark incredibly well). And whether it's adlibbed or scripted, the writing is so very very good. You can really hear Hugo's artistry in his writing and performance, and the immense love he has for this character and world.

The dichotomies of history and present, light and dark, and youth and age, are at the core of Neto. One episode has 900+ year old Neto talking about discovering Instagram and uploading photos from a trip, while mentioning figures from his past and the shadows of traumatic events that yet haunts him.

One of my favourite moments is Neto, in his aged form, pretending to have a cardiac event and being rushed away in an ambulance. He enjoys the performance of death (a favourite past-time of immortals, apparently) and there's a hint of Neto's vulnerability, his chronic loneliness, as he revels in the care and concern from mere strangers.

Neto is self described as an investigation of trauma: What is time to an immortal vampire? What is trauma? How does trauma shape someone so isolated and misunderstood, and how does it shape all of us? How do we recover, and who do we need in our lives to do so?

Sometimes heavy, and sometimes light, this series explores trauma, cults, loneliness, life and all its miraculous trappings, and the unmooring of oneself, brought on by grief, all within the context of a richly-built world saturated with magic that is constantly in flux.

I highly recommend just listening to the first episode which you can do so here on Spotify and here on YouTube - I guarantee you will fall in love with Neto as quickly as I did! And if you do like what you hear, please remember to give the show a follow and some love <3
