Do you know any podcasts with transfeminine main characters?

Apologies for the delay. I have a few:

Between Heartbeats: (Urban Fantasy) In a city of incredible abilities and mundane struggle, we follow Sundiata, a time-manipulator struggling to stay employed. During a a quick break from waiting tables to go help in an emergency, she instead finds herself caught in a bizzare mystery. Unfortunately release seems to have stalled following the first episode, but I'm eagerly awaiting its return.

Inn Between: (Fantasy, Adventure) What the adventuring heroes get up to at the tavern, between the grand adventures. Cleverly fills the listener in on the adventures using "previously on" and "next time on" segments. You'll need to wait (or jump) to Season 3 to meet our transfem lead, but she is an absolute delight.

Interference: (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance) A human tabletop podcaster and an orc researcher get their broadcast signals crossed between worlds, and start a dialogue. Cross-reality research, and a budding romance, ensue.

The Magnus Protocol: (Horror) Seeking employment, Sam gets a job working with his friend Alice for a bizzare little government office. The work? Night shifts listening to, and then cataloguing, bizzare and unsettling material trawled from the internet. Despite Alice's warnings, Sam may be getting a little too invested.

The Night Post: (Supernatural) Concerning the conscripted nighttime couriers/postal workers of Gilt City, and the otherworldy encounters they have on the job.

PSST: Paranatural Support Services Team: (Supernatural) Struggling with a supernatural entity or haunting encounter? The PSST's got you covered. Meet The Agent at the other end of the phone as she gives advice, unravels mysteries, and tries to work out just how long it's been since she went home.

The Silt Verses: (Horror) In a modern world where gods are abundant, frequently both commercialised and restricted, two devotees of an outlawed river god go on a pilgrimage. You'll meet the character in question a few episodes in.

Breathing Space: (Sci-fi, Space Western, Anthology) Included more as a special mention (as this is an anthology and the leads change every episode), Breathing Space is an array of stories set in the early age of space exploration that leans hard into the "Western" part of "Space Western". A not-insignificant number of the stories feature trans characters. If you don't vibe with the first story, do me a favour and listen to the second before you bail.

Additions are, of course, always welcome.

Seeing Between Heartbeats with 27/27 chapters on AO3 is one of the most endorphin-rushing experiences of my fandom life lmao

A bout of covid, a divorce, two years, and two moves later, this fic is finally complete!!

#IT IS DONE #zutara #zutara fic #my fic #between heartbeats

OK people, it's time once again !!! you should check out Between Heartbeats, there's only one full ep out but it's great!! if you like monologuing characters, you'll definitely enjoy that one,

the soundscape is lovely and the writing is very good!! if full length eps stay as long as the first, they won't be longer than 25/30 mins, which is short enough to not be overwhelming

+ only one episode and I'm already Sundiata's biggest fan

if I haven't convinced you to try it out yet, here's the synopsis :

I think it's headed towards a very good series, I'm excited to follow it and I believe you really should check it out!! :))

Between Heartbeats is a new urban fantasy audio drama about moving forward. The story follows Sundiata, a guilt-ridden time manipulator with a knack for losing jobs, and Nadia, a moralistic telepath determined not to lose control, as they balance frayed mental health against an unsympathetic police state. But when a malevolent presence rears its head, their neuroses become the least of their problems. Can our heroes make the most of their abilities before the option is taken from them? Episode one is out now! I love the wordbuilding of this podcast and the character dynamics within. Transcripts here.

very pleased to report that i tried literally counting sheep last night and got my first full night's sleep in like a week in a long period of sleepless nights!!

#not sure if i should say 'this works guys!' because while it worked for me #i'm not sure if it'll work for everyone #but yeah! focusing on counting sheep gave my mind one thought to focus on #so it could drown all the others out! much more effective than just trying to 'think of nothing' which i CANNOT do #and as i got further i began spacing out the counting. i listened to my heartbeat #and after like ten beats i'd count the next sheep #and in between the counting i found my mind drifting sort of aimlessly #vague noise i wasn't fully consciously thinking of #which i think is generally a good sign for me. cause i'm losing control of my thought processes and slipping into dreaming #but every time i'd count another sheep it was fascinating. #'one hundred and sixty sheep' and just like that the background noise was all gone. and my mind was quiet again. wow. #anyway i had a full dream for the first time in a while. my cousin was there. i missed school by accident and was disappointed. #love you all💙 sweet dreams and restful nights on planet earth even though it's ten am for me

Prompt 132

So it turns out Danny and Billy share a realms guardian. Not like they knew that until they literally got scruffed and taken through a portal- apparently realms paperwork can take years or even centuries so they actually got really lucky with how much their guardian was pushing. 

Apparently the primordial being of Space and the primordial being of Storm is one and the same and has been… well not throwing a fit but also yes throwing a fit at the Observants and other paperwork beings of the Zone. 

So it’s not the worst kidnapping either of them have gone through, apparently they’re getting a checkup and a crash course in realms stuff?? Oh god what do you mean there’s the equivalent of galas in the Zone and they have to go to them??? Sam/Tim help them! 

On the bright sides, way less attacks on Amity now that a primordial being that literally shuffles around entire galaxies just because is hanging around to teach him how to do things. And when Billy gets found out to be ten he can cheerfully say he has permission from his guardian. The one literally letting them get through space so quickly just because they think the league is neat. In an idle wow yep kiddo that is a funky looking cat we aren’t taking home yep, way. 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #Danny: Oh god is Vortex my ghost brother nooo #Marvel on the phone in the middle of battle: Hi Phantom can you tell pops that I'll be late #Marvel: I know they can definitely see me right now but speck amidst the eternal storm of stars yadda yadda #Villain and JL overhearing this: #Billy: Omg Danny look parent made constellations of us #Danny literally sobbing: Y e a h they did #Their ghost parent has tea with clockwork all the time they're twins #Time and Space are two halves of a whole after all #Children of the Realms itself- or rather the being whose blood fills the cracks between worlds whose body forms the planes of reality itsel #Danny and Billy don't realize how OP they are because this is normal shit for them #Y'know what #Eternal 10 year old Billy and 14 year old Danny #Billy: Wait am I a halfa?? My marvel form doesn't have a heartbeat and I'm literally striking myself with lightning #Danny: #Billy: #Danny: Oh my god #They deserve to be brothers your honor

For anyone else who is gonna struggle surviving the next 3 weeks with the angsty and tense situation of Callowmoore here's a few things from the last 2 episodes that I feel were underrated and will assist in trying to keep me sane/emotionally stable: - Matching messed up hands built for holding - Fearne nervously playing with her hair as she approaches Ashton - Ashton wanted Fearne to be either the last thing they saw if they died or the first thing they saw when they succeeded - Fearne's admittance corroborates Ashley's 4SD revelation that Fearne is in love with someone in the party but doesn't know how to process the emotions - Fearne wanted Ashton to be happy, while Ashton wanted to feel whole so they would be worthy of the Hells - Ashton twice tried to lead a search for Fearne, and instantly clocking onto Chetney saying he followed Fearne - Fearne making herself look as radiant as possible before giving Ashton the cold shoulder - Ashton only rose to Chetney's provocations until he said 'You hurt Fearne' Use how you will

#godspeed my poor damaged psyche #critical role #bells hells #callowmoore #ashton greymoore #fearne calloway #fearne x ashton #ashton x fearne #strangely enough I don't enjoy having a dark and sad pit sitting in my chest day to day #3 weeks and we don't even get a cute M9 reunion in between to distract us? this was worse than Callowmoore's sistergate 3 week wait #also 'a little'? Sweetie people don't jump into lava for a little you got the big L and it's not Lesbian(s) #Feel like Laudna was a bit cruel this ep (Ash has been there for her a ton and she kinda villainized him) but we'll put it down to Delilah #much of Ashton's trauma has been overlooked or left to them to internalize but still nobody has told them that they are loved #and Ashton Greymoore needs to be told they're loved! (by Fearne) #but yeah time for more positive mental scenarios that 99% won't happen (but when that 1% does ho boy) #couldn't have just had Fearne go 'no talking' and sleep on Ash's chest to hear their heartbeat as her touch soothes Ash's pain could we? #or final fight scenarios where Ludinus is a walking harness and Ashton tricks them into absorbing their titan powers so he'd explode #they could've even had a talk in the woods because they wanted to find her so bad but was not gonna test Imogen's patience #I for one though will have at least one where Ashton seeks out Mori for advice (Fearne too but separately) #Tal I need you to use all your romantic arsenal in the feywild (Percy's worst travel experience) to win back Ashley's beautiful faun girl #bonus prompts for 'You will always be perfect to me' and 'Promise you'll come back to me' they pop up often in my scenarios #taliesin jaffe #ashley johnson

if buddie were to be trapped somewhere, eddie dying and buck strong enough to get himself out but not strong enough to also save eddie, do you think he would leave him behind? do you think he would leave eddie behind to die all by himself, just so one of them gets back home to chris? and do you think this is (partially) what eddie wanted to achieve with the will?

god, i don't think buck could ever bring himself to do that. i think if eddie knew that only one of them could get out, he would beg buck to leave him there, but buck would fight against it, because how could he leave eddie? how could he go on living if he had to leave eddie here to die? yes, he would survive for christopher's sake. but he wouldn't live. how dare eddie not give him the easy way out? how dare eddie force him to keep going without him there by his side?

(i do think what eddie wanted to achieve with his will, aside from the obvious—making sure christopher would be taken care of—was also ensuring that buck and chris would have each other. so they could be each other's lifeline. i think the way he told buck about this in the first place—as a manner of telling him that he's not expendable and that there are people who would love and miss him if he were gone—makes this pretty clear.)

#neethu answers #anon #GOD the idea of buck being forced to choose between eddie and chris...of COURSE he would choose chris. he would choose him in a heartbeat. #but that doesn't mean it wouldn't absolutely destroy him in the process

you know how Dazai makes references to the princesses? he should now make one about Chuuya and the Little Mermaid:

her natural habitat is water

she's ginger

she lost her voice (and Chuuya is under sb's control now)

she became a different species at one point in her life

she was used for her voice (and Chuuya for his ability)

also Dazai'd laugh his ass off if he called Chuuya 'little'

#also little chuuya didn't know what bread and other such things were #just like Ariel #ariel was curious of the human world and did everything to be a part of it #and when she revealed to eric her real identity he didn't care and loved her the same #DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT REMINDS ME OF? (soukoku) #how dazai didn't look at chuuya any different. even was mesmerized every time chuuya used corruption #in andersen's og story little mermaid wants to marry the man bc only then will she have an eternal soul like humans do #and in sb chuuya said he didn't believe a HEARTBEAT suited him #in the og version the man marries sb else and the mermaid's sisters give her a dagger so she can revenge on him but she chooses not to #in the end she doesn't marry a man so doesn't get an eternal soul #but the spirits? see her selflessness and give her a chance to get the soul changing her to be a spirit #the choice not to kill the prince reminds me of when chuuya had to choose between using corruption or finding out the truth abt himself #(doesn't suit the story but I imagine the sisters as the flags 😭) #back to the disney version: #ariel isn't but wants to be human. eric is mesmerized by her and loves her anyways. both see the humanity in each other #i'll just leave it here #bungou stray dogs #soukoku #chuuya #dazai #additionally: ariel saved eric's life. AND CHUUYA GAVE DAZAI THE REASON TO LIVE OMFG #also the sisters in the og story could be verlaine. yk revenge on the humans #at first i was writing it as a joke #but now if dazai ever calls chuuya little mermaid in the manga you will not her from me again because i will ascend #do other Dazai's princess jokes hide so much meaning? probably yes #mermaid soukoku #bsd chuuya #bsd dazai

The walls of Ba Sing Se aren’t half as high as those around a girl’s heart.

Katara never thought she’d lie to her friends or sneak around with a boy she hates. But then, she didn’t expect Zuko to come to this city of secrets and do what he does best: turn her life upside down.

Even if she wanted their affair to become something real, it’s out of the question. There’s a war waiting for them, and they can’t stay sheltered within these rings forever, enemies playing the part of lovers. He may care for her—may even need her—but not enough to change.

Besides, catching is what Zuko is good at. Keeping, not so much.

RATING: Explicit SHIP: Zutara WARNING: Underage

i didn't think i cared much for n's final battle theme bc i'm a sucker for melodically strong pieces aka certified bangers. but i must say it does a good job at making you uncomfortable when you really listen to the details. it's got tritones, clock ticking sounds, heartbeats, fire and lighting sound effects for reshiram and zekrom, up and down flights, ominous choir, plenty of dissonance. i woke up in a cold sweat at like 5am today with it hauntingly stuck in my head for some reason and that makes it deserving of my respect

#i would have preferred something more melodic to go with the theme of his heroic and pure heart. and his name #but it does a good job at being like hey there really is something genuinely wrong with this man #it sure sounds.. unnatural....... #he is undoubtedly human and full of love and justice. but he's also broken and misguided #he's barely had any real human interactions in his life and has like no social skills #he has at least one confirmed supernatural power in being able to speak to pokémon #apparently the ticking clocks were supposed to represent the ability to see into the past/future that got scrapped? #but i feel like that's still at least partially canon bc he does mention something like that #the ticking clocks and heartbeats at once are so unsettling. like a duality between machine and human #he's a human being who's been raised to be. less than that. treated as a pawn #obsessed with precise calculations. literally called a 'freak without a human heart' #alternatively it could be meant to represent like hey here's him breaking down and losing it #he already knows he's wrong but can't let go of it yet #they could've included the theme of mechanical calculations but still included a solid melody for his true heart #but his true heart is clouded at that point #man i love blorbo #i need to study him #pokémon #and see. ghetsis' battle theme similarly is dissonant and ominous rather than catchy #so maybe n's thing is that since he's doing all this as ghetsis' puppet #but also like ghetsis' is way more simple and n's is frantic and chaotic #to show how ghetsis is pretty much just pure evil and self-absorbed (the man has choir chanting his name!!!) #but n is conflicted and troubled inside and doesn't even know who he is anymore #natural harmonia more like. unnatural disharmonia #(is 'gropius' also a music thing i genuinely don't know) #bw

does anyone else wish we got one of those camp fetch quests for john... its kinda crazy we didnt considering how important his character is and it wouldve been an easy excuse for john and arthur banter. i dunno what he couldve request tho. a wolf pelt? he doesnt specify why and next thing you know hes walking around camp like this

"i save yer behind more times than y've tried to act like a proper father 'n now y'want me to go on a fetch quest fer you? y'might as well call me yer momma"

"oh c'mon arthur, i'll do it myself but considerin' yer goin' 'round and fulfilling everyone's wishes like some fairy godmother is it too much to ask fer one 'o mine to be granted?"

"ain't gonna promise you anythin', marston."

(he does it faster than you can say tahiti)

#morston #or one of those companion missions! just want more morston interactions outside of the main story!!! so im not reminded of the doomsday #clock constantly ticking away :( #also when arthur gives him the wolf pelt john would be like “thanks mama” with a shit eating grin #also the reward john would give you could be his photographed nudes... just kidding. Unless #sry if the dialogue is ooc im not a writer but they make me want to be #based it off pre chapter 6 when theyre a bit meaner to each other lol #but they would do anything for eachother in a heartbeat even if the words exchanged between them says otherwise
