i think what makes the black tapes work as a love story where it kind of eventually fails at being a paranormal mystery is ultimately strand's core ethos - his impregnable belief that the supernatural does not exist and cannot be proven to do so - is something he (not unwillingly, but immediately) will abandon every single time for the people he loves. tell me why alex is trying to convince a man who is on the brink of convincing himself the supernatural exists? bc she loves him and so ultimately, he has to choose to believe both of those things.

I’m really out here. In 2023. Giggling and swinging my feet at Alex Reagan and Richard Strand’s constant flirting with each other.

Trust me to become obsessed with a podcast that ended 5 years ago and left an entire fandom up in arms.

Gosh the older I get (I’m 30 now) the more nostalgic I get over old fandoms….😭😭😭😭

Looking through the black tapes tag cuz I finally finished it after years of putting it off. And I can’t tell how old any of the post lmao. Is anyone still here ? I literally finished it and immediately went to AO3 because of how goddamn awful that ending was
