#retrospective asks

5. Pick a character and make a prediction for their epilogue.

Azu & Kiko wedding please!! Not to be mainstream but hnnnggggg. i want them to have a happily-ever-after.

OH WAIT! What I really want for Azu also is for her to return to Sohra and the Ursuns and learn more about their resurrection rituals!!!! She was so awed by that magic and so earnest and curious and she just. really wants to learn. i love her

19. Can you try to put into words the crushing nostalgia you now feel when you think back to the prologue episodes, and how you felt listening to them for the first time vs how that would feel now?

Uhhhhhhh. not even in the slightest. I think I have listened to the whole thing start-to-finish(/present) three times now? and each time it hits differently, each time something new pricks at me. must admit the prologue is much more enjoyable once you've formed the attachment to the characters lol I really struggled getting through it the first time round

I've already answered 2! But number 11..

11. Which raw-ass line will stick in your mind for years to come?

Not because it's relevant to me, but I can't get over the start of Sasha's letter. Alright mates. It's been so long that you all speak Latin in my dreams. It breaks my heart six ways from Sunday. I don't know how to phrase it, but it just really really gets to me. It's one of those things that whenever someone says "alright, mates?" out loud, I think of her (which is at least twice daily).

Who knew I could feel emotions this deeply, huh?

Thanks for the ask!

2. What has been your favourite relationship to see (well, hear) develop?

We all know I'm #basic & there is so much to zolf&wilde that I adore and will never get enough of (platonic life partners!!!!) I could talk about them forever, and I have & I will, but also there's too much there for me to go into right now so I'm putting them back on the shelf and taking down Zolf & Sasha for a moment, and how absolutely heartbreaking their ending was when you look back on how much Sasha changed Zolf's life and he never got to see her again. Meeting her, loving her, promising to be there for her and heal her when he finds out how sick she is? But then he has to leave because it's what he has to do for himself, and sasha gets that so she lets him go.

And as if that isn't enough!!- Finding hope in the thought of her, and he makes his way back to wilde & there's no rangers left. then they return but sasha isn't even there

and then they get the letter and he can't be in the room with everyone else and all their grief too, so he leaves and reads it in private??? and it's all he has left of her???

Listen. guilt & grief combo my beloved I love Zolf & Sasha more than life itself. I miss their awkward interactions on a daily basis. I will never be over them.

6. What is something you are wholly convinced will happen in the finale?

Fun fact about me! I never ever make serious predictions about media I am consuming. idk, it's just. Can't do it, can't even guess who the killer might be in a thriller. I love re-watching/reading/listening with the knowledge of the ending, I love thinking about potentials afterwards, but legitimately guessing where the story is going? not a me thing

I am wholly convinced, however, that it will give me capital-E Emotions and that I won't be able to think of anything else for the rest of my day

15. Which moments have genuinely made you cry?

S A S H A ' S L E T T E R

The only time I've cried listening to any podcast. I blamed it on the fact I listened to it first thing in the morning and was really tired, and decided that must've made me emotional. i did not see it coming, i was not ready!! dont ask about the other four times it's made me cry shhhh

1. What is that one moment from the show that you will find yourself thinking back to, intermittently, for years to come?

"I miss you, Sasha. Why do I miss you?" BROCK!! That whole... ohh. Everything about him, about how even beyond death he was loving Sasha and trying to help her. I Am Eating My Hands. I Can't Even Talk About This, It's Hurting Me Too Much

Haha but also, if we're including specials- that space pals one where helen said something like "okay editors, can you fix that up please" and continued without a clean take and was called out on it. i laughed so hard i had to pause it to catch my breath. i was at work. a coworker saw em through the window and came in to see if i was okay since she could see i was crying. i was fine, it was with laughter. idk man, it just tickled me pink

3. What was your favourite running joke, in or out of character?

The absolute classic of "He's a psychopath and a monster, but we respect his craft!" NEVER gets old ahhh

it's also definitely not "loads of hitpoints!" because that sounds too much like a challenge to sit comfortably with me especially when he's currently below zero!!!! mr meredith your confidence terrifies me!!!

6. I answered this in another ask! Thank you
