Audio Drama Recommendations, Pt. III

Click here for part one and here for part two. Recently, I've been drawing a lot, which gives me plenty of time to listen to audio dramas and podcasts. These are the ones I liked the most and found entertaining enough to recommend to others. This is not in any particular order, either.

The Green Horizon – is a sci-fi comedy drama created and written by Paul Walsh. It is sponsored by Faustian Nonsense, an indie entertainment network. It currently has three seasons, with each episode being about 20 - 30 minutes long, but later on it increases to 30 - 40 minutes. A fourth season is said to be coming out soon as well.

It is set in the year 2261, and it focuses on a ne'er-do-well Irish space captain and his rag-tag crew, as they traverse a war-torn Galaxy in search of fame and fortune. [ONGOING]

It was a little chaotic and rough at the beginning, but it does smooth out and become more polished. I can definitely tell that they up their game with the improved sound effects and production quality. The voice actors and the writing for the audio drama does an excellent job at bringing their characters to life, which made it very fun to follow along.

If you like Firefly, Red Dwarf, Orville, Cowboy Bepop, and so on then I think you may enjoy this too.

DERELICT – is a sci-fi narrative audio drama from award-winning science fiction author J. Barton Mitchell, and produced by Night Rocket Productions. It currently has one season titled FATHOM, which consist of 10 episodes with each one ranging from 40 mins to an hour, mostly the latter.

Something has been found at the bottom of Earth's ocean. An ancient artifact that can only be described as a giant door, inset into the sea floor. It becomes known as the Vault. A gigantic enigma, buried and forgotten...nineteen thousand feet down.

To study the artifact, the galaxy's most powerful corporation, Maas-Dorian, has built a massive, self-contained, secret laboratory base surrounding it, named FATHOM. It's objective: unlock the secrets of the artifact and discover what it holds. But some mysteries should remain buried. And some doors should never be opened... [ONGOING]

DERELICT started as the first project set up as a kickstarter. They produced one episode to entice backers, but then the pandemic happened, and they didn’t raise enough money for the rest of it. Instead, they worked on a prequel season called FATHOM. It's where the story really starts, and I highly suggest you listen to it before listening to "DERELICT E1 - Through the Gate."

I hope they redo the DERELICT's first episode because there's a bit of disconnection from it and FATHOM. For example, Sarah and Agent Blayne already know each other. She mentions it to the others, but the conversation they have with each other doesn’t make it seem that way.

Never mind. I apparently confused this Sarah with the Sarah in FATHOM. Can't blame me for thinking that when I heard the name Sarah and that she was already familiar with Agent Blayne.

Deviser – is a sci-fi horror audio drama created, directed, acted and produced by Harlan Guthrie. The same creator of Malevolent. It's a 7-part limited series, with each episode being about 20 mins long.

Son wakes up aboard a spaceship bound for earth in an effort to recolonize. What he discovers, however, will change everything he knows about his world and himself. [COMPLETED]

It's not for everyone, so please do not ignore the content warnings because there's graphic description of violence, self harm, body horror, gore, animal death/being hurt, and what not.

Victoriocity – is a detective comedy audio drama written by Chris and Jen Sugden, directed by Nathan Peter Grassi and produced by Dominic Hargreaves. It is an entirely independent production. It has two seasons, containing 13 episodes in total, and each one is about 30 to 45 minutes long. There's also a feature-length special and a up-coming third season with the help of a kickstarter.

It is 1887 in Even Greater London, an alternate steampunk Victorian London, where Queen Victoria reigns even after being assassinated eleven times, thanks to the wonders of modern science.

In this vast metropolis, Inspector Archibald Fleet and journalist Clara Entwhistle investigate a murder, only to find themselves at the centre of a conspiracy of impossible proportions. [ONGOING]

It's put together so well, and I see why people say it gives off strong Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett vibes to it. So if you like their works, then I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you like this too.

Impact Winter – is an apocalyptic vampire audio drama created and written by Travis Beacham (Carnival Row, Pacific Rim). It has two seasons containing 22 episodes in total and each one is about 17 to 30 minutes long.

“They came after the impact and the firestorms. When the sun went dark. Like they’d been there all along. Just waiting.”

In the British countryside, a band of survivors forms a resistance in the fallout shelter of a medieval castle. Darcy is a battle-tested vampire hunter who is at the front line, leading the charge to save humanity. Meanwhile, her younger sister Hope wants life to return to normal so she can go above ground and know what it’s like to live again. And she just might be willing to risk it all. [ONGOING]

It has a stacked cast led by Holliday Grainger (Cinderella, Great Expectations), Esme Creed-Miles (Hanna, The Legend of Vox Machina), Liam Cunningham (Games of Thrones, Hunger), Himesh Patel (Station Eleven, Tenet), David Gyasi (Interstellar, Carnival Row), Caroline Ford (Carnival Row, Nekrotronic), Chloe Pirrie (Emma, Carnival Row), and Bella Ramsey (Games of Thrones, The Last of Us).

This reminded me a lot of the film 30 Days of Nights (2007) with a little bit of Reign of Fire (2002), which were both fun films to watch. I think if you like those two, especially the former, you'll enjoy this or at least be entertained by it.

A Voice From Darkness – is a scripted paranormal horror audio drama. It is written and produced by Jac Rhys. It currently has two seasons, containing 20 episodes in total and each one is about 20 to 30 minutes long. It also has 7 bonus voicemail episodes and 15 Patreon exclusive episodes which are longer than the main episodes. A third season in the works as well.

Join parapsychologist and radio broadcaster Dr. Malcolm Ryder as he helps those who suffer the supernatural, paranormal or otherworldly problems on his call-in radio show. It is also interspersed with segments, one of which is called 'Today In Odd America' that delves into the origins of a holiday, local traditions, and history. [ONGOING]

If you like Welcome To Night Vale then I think you'll like this too. A Voice From Darkness is a bit more serious and not as long-drawn as Night Vale was, with a perfect mix of storytelling and lore. It also reminds me a bit of The Magnus Archive too.

How i Died – is a mystery audio drama that brings a "new twist on the true crime genre." It is an Audiohm Media original production, co-starring Vince Dajani as Jon Spacer and Shaina Waring as Sheriff Fran Crowley. It currently has three seasons with 39 episodes in total, not including bonus episodes. Each episode is usually about 20 mins, give or take a few minutes.

Bodies are piling up in the strange town of Springfield, and forensic pathologist Jonathan Spacer intends to find out why. But, Jon isn’t without his own secrets… He can talk to the dead, for starters. [ONGOING]

Ooo, a character that can speak to the dead? It's always so interesting to see what they'll do with their ability and where the creators take them. This has been entertaining, but at times I do think they can do better in developing their characters a bit more. For example, I can count on one hand the number of times Crowley doesn't get angry. Though to be fair, Jon isn't an immediately likable character, but that does change the further you go...sorta.

The Amelia Project – is a comedy fiction audio drama created, written, directed, produced and edited by Philip Thorne and Øystein Ulsberg Brager for Imploding Fictions and The Fable and Folly Network. It currently has four seasons, with a fifth one on the way. There's about 72 episodes, not including prologue, special, and BTS episodes which would up the total to 122. Each episode also varies in length from 20 to 45 minutes long.

The Amelia Project is a secret agency that fakes its clients' deaths, then lets them reappear with a brand-new identity. A black comedy full of secrets, twists... and cocoa. The series starts as a succession of interviews with clients who want to fake their deaths, then slowly a larger narrative begins to emerge... Each episode tells its own story, but we recommend starting with Season 1. [ONGOING]

It was fun to listen to while I was drawing or washing the dishes. I could also follow along without becoming too distracted by it, either. I was worried it would be one of those that take a while to get to the main overall story, but thankfully it did not. It will definitely keep you entertained and interested to know what will happen next.

Community Cat News – is a neighborhood news show done from the perspective of cats. There's currently 13 episodes so far and each one varies from 5 to 12 minutes long.

Local News: The human is opening the fridge! Will we get a taste?

Foreign Affairs: What are those squirrels up to now?

Traffic: WHY is the bathroom door shut again?

Every episode is sponsored by Meow Meow Puffytail, Feline Rights Attorney, who is ready to sue your human for even the slightest inconvenience. [ONGONG]

It's cute, light-hearted, and funny. I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. It even uplifted my mood.

Charlie Cox and Clare Dunne in KIN

RTÉ crime drama KIN and psychological thriller Lies We Tell lead this year's IFTA nominations.

Michael Smiley plays a father on the edge in Obituary

Magee and Keeley are up against some strong competition with Michael Smiley (Obituary), Éanna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) Daryl McCormack (The Woman in the Wall) also nominated. While Dunne competes with Sharon Horgan (Best Interests), Niamh Algar (Malpractice), Elva Trill (Northern Lights), Siobhán Cullen (Obituary) and Caitríona Balfe (Outlander).

The Best Drama category showcases a wealth of homegrown talent with Blue Lights, Hidden Assets, Northern Lights, Obituary and The Woman in the Wall also vying for the coveted award.

Agnes O'Casey stars in Lies We Tell

Over in the film categories Lisa Mulcahy’s gothic Irish tale, Lies We Tell, has received a whopping 13 nominations including Best Film, Lead Actor for David Wilmot, Lead Actress for Agnes O’Casey and Best Director for Mulcahy.

It will be a hotly contested battle for the Lead Actor award with Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), Andrew Scott (All Of Us Strangers), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn), Barry Ward (That We May Face The Rising Sun) and Pierce Brosnan (The Last Rifleman) also in the running.

Stephen Rea will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's ceremony. The award will be presented to the Oscar-nominated actor for his outstanding contribution to the Irish and international screen industry over a career that has spanned five decades.

Responding to the Lifetime Achievement Award announcement, Rea said: "So much of Irish culture has been recovered and reimagined. Music, language, literature, theatre.

Stephen Rea will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award

"And cinema can be added to that list because of the special energy of John Boorman who produced Neil Jordan's first film Angel. And to my astonishment, my first film too. Neil thrust the script and a saxophone into my hands and suddenly I was in the movies. Well, one really original movie, which was at the beginning of a new confidence in Irish cinema.

"And now many films later, IFTA have, equally surprisingly, offered me a Lifetime Achievement Award. A lifetime of collaboration with the most generous and creative artists you could ever work with. And hang out with. Thanks to all of them. Thank you IFTA."

HORROR OC: Seamus Wrynn

to be fully truthful here I have been postponing this for so long 🤕 bc I hate doing refs and they almost always turn out like dogshit. but alas. Seamus' ref needed an overhaul so here it is. this turned out okay at least 😭

GENERAL

name: seamus wrynn alias: corvus (main online handle, he has several more) nickname(s): n/a gender: agender, simply labels himself as male. pronouns: he/him

age: 28 (agelocked), 150+ (true) date of birth: 10 february, 1869 date of death: 13 november, 1896 cause of death: tortured and mutilated to death by killian lynch location of birth: derry, (now northern) ireland location of death: boston, massachusetts, USA

race: white ethnicity: irish species: human (formerly), undead (current) sexual orientation: unlabelled, multisexual relationship status: ????? (in a weird situation with kelly duffy (© sanityisforlosers). they don't consider what they have to be a romantic relationship but it could very well be seen as such due to both having skewed ideas of what love is)

occupation: photographer, proxy to julius the dressmaker (© sanityisforlosers)

MURDER: METHOD AND CLASSIFICATION

seamus is the kind of man people whisper of in the depths of the web, in only the darkest outskirts of society, where he is known as ‘corvus’, a name both worshipped and reviled by the few who know it. many rumours exist about his being; that he is a myth, that he is not one person but a group, that he is a troll.

the facts are as follows: he is a photographer, the subject matter the kind of depravity considered an urban legend. some call it gore, others extreme porn, some dare call it ‘snuff’, but seamus claims what he captures is art.

PERSONALITY

pleasant. well-mannered. many praises could be sung about his first impressions. had you not known any better, you would think he is a perfectly nice young man. he appears to be a good friend and a shoulder to cry on; he makes you feel as though you both are one and the same. he has a penchant for the dark underbelly of the human state and listening to the way he speaks of even the lowest of the low makes it sound beautiful, irresistible.

his persuasion is serpentine, the temptations he serves luciferian. beauty to him is violence. love, in his eyes, is abuse. that is what he was raised to believe, and continues to both live by and preach through his depraved photography. it is not just an artistic vision; it is an inherent part of an unreadable philosophy he lives by, one formed through observation.

whatever those observations may be is indecipherable to all except him. abstractions imposed by society such as gender, etiquette, morality and more are flawed and self-contradictory concepts which he doesn’t subscribe to. as such, labelling him as morally bankrupt leads to a disagreement; he is not morally bankrupt for he is removed from morality entirely. his behaviour may as a result also come across as inconsistent and contradictory as well: he is a sadomasochist. he is caring, yet apathetic at once. his good-natured politesse therefore isn’t a front; his soft-spoken personality is a very genuine part of his character.

only insanity could serve as an accurate label to his being.

APPEARANCE

seamus has a rather contradictory appearance. he stands at an impressive height of 6’6” and stands even taller by two inches when including the low-heeled boots he wears.

he has scars littered all across his face: a jagged pair running from the corner of his lips and forming an odd grin, a diagonal scar spanning from the end of his right eyebrow towards his nose, another vertical scar running across his left eye. finally, there is a scar diagonally running across his forehead and another that extends from his lower right cheek up across his nose and towards his left eyesocket.

this makes for an intimidating form, yet his facial structure and the way in which he presents himself significantly softens this rather daunting first impression. despite being somewhat ghoulish in appearance and his bright (fully) green eyes being an odd sight, his calm smile and admittedly attractive face could easily put one at ease. his black hair tied into a loose, low ponytail and his tidy manner of dressing give off the air of a person who is relaxed.

RELATIONSHIPS

family:

ava wrynn (mother, deceased)

lewis wrynn (father, deceased)

moira wrynn (older sister, deceased)

eileen wrynn (older sister, deceased)

declan wrynn (older brother, deceased)

molly wrynn [maiden name: keogh] (ex-wife, deceased)

the hellcrew:

julius doherty - the demon seamus is a proxy to. having known each other as humans and finding they have a few things in common, they get along quite well. they still help each other out occasionally if needed.

killian lynch - fellow proxy and the man who murdered him. he doesn't appear scared of nor intimidated by killian, and instead has taken a (non-mutual) liking to him; one which is rooted in seamus' masochistic tendencies.

kelly duffy - fellow proxy of julius and.... friendish?? boyfriendish person????? the two appear to get along alarmingly well and have engaged in intimacy with one another. neither of them appear to care about the status of their odd relationship nor care to label it, but they do have an affection for one another.

seraphina shaw - fellow proxy and a former assistant of his. despite being the person to have killed her, he and seraphina get along just fine. he claims that she has been one of his ‘favourite’ assistants.

BACKGROUND

problematic. even in life, the wrynn household was not regarded upon kindly, this including seamus. known to always have been drawn to death, he was a pariah since childhood and his parents and older brother were no kinder to him than others. his older sisters were protective of him; the younger of the two, eileen, being particularly possessive of him.

unfortunately, this relationship was far from normal, nor healthy to seamus. his sister being several years older than him lead to a power dynamic and the growth of an exploitative and abusive relationship, warping his vision on what he interprets to be 'love' and 'beauty'.

up until then, seamus' fascination with death appeared harmless. the turning point, however, was finding his sister's brutally handled corpse, both fully destroying his already-fragile psyche and solidifying the idea that true beauty and gratification lies in torture, assault and violent death. after the incident, he fully changed the way in which he presents himself, making himself out to be a perfectly normal and charismatic young man. eventually, he immigrated to america with his other sister moira, hoping to provide seamus with a fresh start and a proper job. he was to continue in the footsteps of a friend of moira’s; a photographer who took him in, and he didn't mind, for he found himself enthralled by photography, even if it was not yet considered an art.

he would begin to photograph depraved and morbid things in secret and despite appearing passably functional and well-adjusted growing up, seamus’ self-destructive and harmful behaviour worsened, resulting in his then-wife’s disappearance and at last; his death after annihilating the family of a man who thought he was a lifelong friend.

he wouldn't stay dead, however, and now is a proxy to julius doherty. of course he was in hell. how could he end up anywhere else?

MISCELLANEOUS

📷 he is not above harming children. 📷 the main derived inspirations for this character are masao kakihara from ichi the killer and yozo from no longer human 📷 he initially was created as a joke and modelled after joseph desaulniers from identity v. the gist of this was sanity bullet pointing broad hellcrew characteristics and me going “watch me speedrun the creation of a hellcrew character” and he thought it was funny. i actually pulled through with it, though. 📷 his basic information and rough design draft were created in the span of 10 minutes and 41.92 seconds 📷 his first surname used during the speedrun was seamus gallagher. i already had the first name in mind but simply hastily searched for a somewhat-fitting surname. not satisfied with the surname upon refining the character, i decided rinne sounded better, and i then instead decided to write it as wrynn.

julius doherty, killian lynch and kelly duffy belong to @sanityisforlosers

Hail, True Body AU Thatcher Davis:

I haven't got around to drawing out his design yet, but here's a run down of Thatcher's appearance from the AU! This design is for 1984 to 1991 (so shortly after the Heathcliff murder-suicide to just before the events of INWCT).

1984 - 1991 (ages 21 - 28; he is 13 years younger than Dave and 12 years younger than Ruth!)

General:

Brown hair (doesn't dye it blonde until 1991 - he was very inspired by Kurt Cobain as Nevermind released that year and grunge became the next big thing in the alt. music scene). It's long but still shorter than what we see in TMC and he usually ties it back and up into either a tail or a top knot/bun to keep it out of his face, especially if he's doing close work like reading or studying law for exams at work.

Has a septum ring which he had done during his last year of high school. He was really into the emerging heavy rock and metal scene and facial piercings in that circle were common. The ring is just typical stainless surgical steel and is in the bull ring style rather than barbell.

Has his left ear pierced twice: a stud through his lobe and a hoop through his helix.

Neat facial hair, clipped close.

A little tired-looking, but it's from working late patrol shifts with Ruth rather than peeping horrors lmao.

Has a Celtic knot tattoo on his left shoulder blade, specifically the one that signifies luck (his grandfather was Irish and had the same tattoo, and Thatcher shared a close bond with him).

Wears his glasses when he's not at work. They're black thick-framed glasses with correctional lenses for his short-sightedness. It's not too severe, but he still needs glasses and contacts for it or else he squints a lot and gets headaches. His glasses also have a glasses chain on them which Ruth got for him because he's forever putting his glasses down and then forgetting where he put them.

Uniform:

Your standard mid-80s era beat cop uniform (he's an officer in 1984 which is the lowest rank, with Ruth being a Sergeant and his mentor).

Doesn't wear his piercings whilst at work as that'd be a uniform violation.

Wears his contacts whilst at work (but does bring his glasses just in case he needs them).

Everyday Clothing:

Baggy jeans, comfortable.

Band tees and button up plaid shirts in lots of muted colours - think grunge and Kurt Cobain.

Oversized cardigans and jumpers/sweaters.

Beaten up old Converse sneakers.

Fingerless gloves, usually black or grey.

Just overall very comfortable grunge aesthetic - look at Kurt Cobain and that's literally it, that's Thatcher lmao.

Beanie hat, usually black or grey too.

If you have any questions or anything please send an ask!! I rotate him in my head a lot and love talking about all the characters in this silly AU of mine lmao

Feel free to draw him based on these descriptions if you want - it's probably going to take me some time before my nerve pain dies down enough that I can comfortably make his reference sheet!

The Magnus Archives 1 Angler Fish Liveblog

I have two deep confessions to lay bare here, on this public Tumblr.

1. I didn't like Waiting To Exhale and I think it is a bad movie.

2. I have never listened to The Magnus Archives which is a cardinal sin for me as a person who makes audio dramas. I plan to rectify this here and now! I want to listen to a lot more the seminal audiodramas so I can be a better student of my craft, and by blogging it I'm likely to get other people's input and thoughts which is also super helpful to me as an artist. So, see? Win win.

You can read my liveblogging thoughts below the cut.

00:00- I think the same thing when I listen to WTNV (which is like One Piece in my opinion) but it's also so, not necessarily strange, but particular when shows that you know didn't have ads initially have ads now. It's sort of like being a post-witness to growth. It'd be like finding Egyptian influence on Kush Artifacts. You just know that it looked different and that there had to be such a seismic shift to get to the change you know must have happened, because it doesn't make sense for it to have started in the state that you are currently experiencing.

04:10- Oh! It's one of the "we have a reason we're recording" shows! Those are fun.

04:39- It's nice to have a voice to go with all the Johnathan Sims fanart I've seen.

05:15- I will say when I was living out in LA for a couple of months in college, I did try listening to TMA but I didn't get into it. So, I do vaguely remember this 1st episode plot though that was about 5 years ago (which is crazy to think! Darn you COVID!)

06:40- Well God forbid Martin has some struggles. Please Johnathan where's your compassion?

09:16- I'm glad he knows I am but an American who knows nothing of Edinburgh.

12:18 Johnathan please. You can't just stare at people on the street. What happened to manners.

13:05- Give the man a bum, John. It's the sporting thing to do! Who cares if he's a little different. We all have our addictions.

14:59 Wait! John is reading a case this isn't his behavior. Oh, for shame. I have been slandering his good name. Sorry, Johnathan.

17:20- I'll be honest if I saw some truly bizarre phenomena that just screamed unexplained horror I would not investigate. There is already too much truly horrifying phenom that's hard to explain. I don't need to pursue the horrors. I'm a Black American, the horrors pursue me.

18:58 It's a shame audio dramas typically don't have characters with thick accented brogues. Could you imagine someone with a thick backwoods Irish or Scottish accent doing this. Think of the texture it would ad.

19:00- I know that all of these stories eventually connect so I'm excited to see how they all blend into a cohesive plot.

That's that on that. I'll keep doing these because I want to and I also think it'll be fun to, once I finish TMA, be able to go back and read through and relive the experience.

In honor of the new TV show, here’s a throwback to a project @snailontheslope and I did a couple of years ago where we watched and reviewed a bunch of Irish horror movies. The illustrated zine that resulted from that is available over at my Gumroad for $1+ (link in source).

I’m still really proud of this little poster by the way! I think it’s quite clever.

15 Questions

Thank you for tagging me in this @f1-birb

1. Are you named after anyone?

My middle name is my Grandmother's name, but if fictional characters count then my first name is also after someone. It's a character from a book by a classical author my Mam loves

2. When was the last time you cried?

Um, Sunday night/Monday morning while reading a AFTG fic that made me very sad and then very mad.

3. Do you have kids?

Unless you count my cat, then no. I do not have kids, but maybe someday

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

I used to play Gaelic football, football, tag rugby and I ran cross country but not for long or very seriously?

However I did swim competitively until my late teens. I was on my town's swim team and won a good few medals for induvial and relay races. I have some County and National medals for my Butterfly stroke but I quit when it stopped being fun, I had my LC coming up and I did damage to my shoulder

5. Do you use sarcasm?

The day I don't use sarcasm is the day I die

6. What is the first thing you notice about people?

Hmmm, their eyes and smile? Maybe their shoulders too

7. What is your eye colour?

I have very green eyes, like proper green eyes. The kind they stereotype us Irish with sometimes 😂

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

I do love a happy ending but I love horror movies more. I live and breath them. I love all the different genre's of horror except maybe gore. I'm actually planning a Scream re-watch soon even if the third movie is crap

9. Any talents?

I can sing somewhat well? I play the piano and have since I was eight but I wouldn't say I'm talented at it. I'm better at teaching it because I am not a very technical player, I am more musically inclined which makes some pieces a dick to play.

Is being annoying a talent? I'm sure my friends would argue that as well as being clumsy as one of my talents

10. Where were you born?

In a county that I didn't and have never lived in in Ireland because our local hospital was shit the year I was born (newsflash: it's still shit)

11. What are your hobbies?

I read a lot and across a lot of genres. I love a good documentary. I love writing, even it doesn't love me. I love going for walks and going swimming. I see travelling as a hobby, but by that I mean even going to a town I haven't been too back home and just wandering (I'm broke and don't have much money for international travel beyond doing so for my research).

I enjoy cross-stitching!

I adore baking and am very sad that I don't have an oven in my little flat over here in Czechia.

12. Do you have any pets?

I do! Currently I have two cats that can be considered family pets although one is purely mine and I pay for him.

There's my sisters cat Echo who is pure black and looks like Toothless with her ears back, and there is my absolute disaster of a cat, Oliver, who is white and ginger and the dumbest creature to ever grace this Earth and purrs like a tractor

13. How tall are you?

On a good day? 5'4

14. Favorite subject at school?

English and History were always my favourite subjects. I could never choose between the two. I loved reading and literature and poetry and picking things apart until they made sense.

The same with History. I loved following sources to find the truth or the best interpretation of the truth through various documents and existing literature. I like giving a voice back to moments forgotten or that haven't gotten the attention they deserve which is why I decided to make a career out of it (if possible)

15. Dream job?

I would love to be an author, but I don't have that type of talent or perseverance.

I will happily settle and aim to be a proper Historian

Time to tag some more fun people to answer these! Off to the usual suspects @princelancey, @wolfsbanesbite, @faerieroyal

This was for a RP session between me and @tomgonzo34

Guest room closet, DIO's Mansion

Late Summer, 1988

Boingo: *Sweating profusely while bouncing fearfully* O_O''''

Medea: *Very scared as she's dousing every corner of the room in salt while saying the lord's prayer in Irish Gaelic* Ár nAthair, atá ar neamh, Go naofar d’ainm, Go dtaga do ríocht, Go ndéantar do thoil ar an talamh, Mar a dhéantar ar neamh. Ár n-arán laeth-

Momo: Hey whatcha doing? :-)

Medea and Boingo: *Nearly gets a heart attack* ACK!

Medea: *Panting* For the love of God don't scare us like that!

Momo: Sorry, just wanna see what you're doing.

Medea: What does it look like? I'm blessing the closet and praying to God that he doesn't find me.

Momo: Who?

DIO: *From the other part of the mansion, very loud and angry* WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Boingo: Oh no, it's happening!

Medea: OK! INTO THE CLOSET! *Turns off the lights and takes Boingo into the closet with her, sitting in a corner that's near the porch*

Momo: *Goes with them, whispering* What's going on? Why is DIO pissed?

Boingo: *Whispering* It happened 7 minutes ago, but DIO was holding a meeting for the Glory gods when my [Thoth] had a prophesy-

*Sounds of N'Doul being tossed out the window*

Boingo: -Which told him that one of the servants in the mansion threw away a skull and goes on a rampage.-

*Sounds of furniture being thrown*

Boingo: [Flogging Molly] dragged me and Big sis out of the room.

Medea: *Whispering* It's true, my Stand suddenly started feeling something off, so I looked around and saw [Thoth], they warned me to start hiding.

*Sounds of Mariah screaming*

Momo: ...Seriously? Over a skull? -_-*

Medea: It's not some ordinary skull, Lord DIO seems to cherish that particular skull very dearly, I don't know why, but he doesn't want anyone touching it, not even Eris is allowed to touch it.

*Sounds of [The World] going "Mudamudamudamuda"*

Boingo: *Hugs Medea tightly, scared*

Momo: ...Ohhh, now I get it....

Meanwhile where Nukesaku is, the prayer room (0:13 - End)

youtube

Nukesaku: *Scared, holding a trash can with a Skull in it* ...Why is Lord DIO like this? It's just decayed leftovers, right?.... *Hears heavy breathing*.......*Slowly looks up and to his horror, DIO was on the ceiling*

DIO: *Hanging on the ceiling in very demonic position, angry, fangs bared, and eyes glowing red* ............

Nukesaku: .................................. *Shows him the skull*

DIO: ............ Give me back Jojo....

Nukesaku: ........... Whose Jojo-*Sees DIO drop on him*-aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

- DIO throws a horrific temper tantrum over Jonathan's skull going missing because Nukesaku thought it was the decayed remains of DIO's food.

* Momo - tomgonzo34's OC
