They started messaging. Cachét complimented his drawing of a human-bug threesome and asked for a print. Three years later, Cachét and David got married. The human-bug threesome drawing hangs on the wall of their home.

Hey folks!

Let's talk about Beck's End and why you should support it!!

In the UK historically, Northern voices and rural voices are too often left out of the conversation. A lot of this is just straight up classism - for Americans, think Appalachia or the Deep South.

It also has very deep historical roots here in the UK - the Northerners resisted the Norman invasion after 1066 and were punished for that by having all their woodlands and farmlands burned and then sown with lime (the mineral) to poison the soil so that they had to be dependent on southern agriculture for food. You can still see the effect this scarring of the landscape had on the land today (it's why we have the Yorkshire moors that Kathy and Heathcliffe are so fond of).

Much like the way this phenomenon plays out in many countries, even today Northerners are thought of as violent, small-minded and stupid: regardless of our contributions to culture (hi, The Beatles). The North of England is profoundly and unfairly underfunded by the government for things like state infrastructure - from transport to healthcare.

So for me, (Ella), as someone who lives in the North, making Beck's End isn't any old audio drama project. It's really meaningful to me that it's a series that's set in the North of England, starring a cast from the North and working with a crew from the North. That's actually kind of a big deal.

Right now we're 69% (nice) funded with 8 days to go. If you're able to lend us some financial support, please consider doing so. If you can't for any reason, please consider giving us a signal boost.

[ID: A digital drawing of Noel pressing a kiss to Arthur's left hand (John's hand). Arthur is watching with a soft smile and allowing his hand to be tugged up. Noel is smiling wide as he ducks his head and kisses John's fingers. John's hand is glowing slightly and illuminating the curve of Noel's cheek and his coat. Noel also has an arm wrapped warmly around Arthur's back.

Noel is a middle aged man wearing a gray hat and trenchcoat. He has tan skin and many visible scars. Arthur is a stout white man with short hair, a mustache, and wears a brown vest over a dress shirt. End ID.]

[ID: A traditional and digital ink drawing of Arthur Lester from season 1, handcuffed on the boat on the water. He is hunched forward, his hands between his knees and glares darkly as he says "I'm blind". The image is colored in sepia browns, except for his yellow eyes. Behind Arthur is dark water underneath the boat, and then thick fog rolling over the water.

Character design: Arthur is a heavyset white man with disheveled dark hair plastered to his forehead. He wears a dress suit under a plain sweater and slacks. He has notable eyebags. End ID.]

You can criticize hypocrisy without making homophobic jokes or using homophobic nicknames.

And if YOU feel YOU can't, that's just a fucking skill issue.

You can talk about the fact that it's really fucked up that his frequenting of gay sex workers was an "open secret," as was his sexuality full stop, without making jokes that boil down to "hahaha look at the faggot."
