[ID: A digital drawing of Sebastian Fen from the Night Shift Podcast, predominantly in red and blue. He is sitting with his arm resting on his knee, his profile to the viewer, against a black and red background. The figure is divided in lights and shadows: where Sebastian is in the shadows, his skin and eyes glow blue, and his hair is white. Signed, Meaningless Mikhaïl. End ID.]
Just try and tell me Sebastian "I-Was-Dead-For-Three-Minutes-Fourty-Eight-Seconds" Fen would pass the opportunity to call himself Sebastian Fenton.
Have been meaning to draw this for a while and the arrival of a new person in the fandom had me relistening the show, so here.
Here's some low-quality Night Shift memes/shitposts that I should've finished months ago when I had a stronger fixation but at least I got around to posting them :P
[Image ID: A portion of a Night Shift: An Urban Fantasy Audio Drama transcript that reads: "Sebastian: If I came over there right now and kissed you, would you let me? Angelo: (firmly, without hesitation) Yes. But if you do that, Sebastian, you'll put me back in the hospital." End ID.]
It's so sweet! I'm so radically in love with them and they are so in love with each other and I just want them to be able to be happy with each other! But they are so bad at making good choices and doing the right thing for themselves.
The way Sebastian asks for validation, more than that - the way Angelo is just so so ready to provide it. The way he's more than willing to kiss him despite the risks, the way that his love and care overrides his self-preservation.
They are so so good and I love this podcast so so much. <3
Sebastian Fen: I just need to get through dinner without calling attention to myself.
Sebastian Fen, not two minutes later, about to fist fight his in-laws even though they could ruin his entire life, probably: *shaking with restraint* Let Me Tell You Exactly Why You Are Wrong-
sebastian fen is cool as a narrator because he's like "oh this is just a casual project to pass the time" but im literally halfway through the first episode and it's already clear that he's completely engrossed in his investigation and obsessed with augur corp and is pushing away all his friends because of it (evidence: just trust me bro) (disclaimer: like i said i'm halfway through the first episode so it's possible i'm completely wrong about him)
I just finished my second listen of the Night Shift podcast and I cannot express how badly I want to hang out at the shop. Like, it would instantly be my favorite place on this earth. And it's 24 hours so I can be writing my papers in the middle of the night! And there's nice people!
This whole world just feels very vibrant to me, in a way that makes me a little homesick for a fictional place.
Now that out crowdfund campaign is live, I can share this image of Sebastian for Season 2 of @nightshiftpodcast that I’ve been sat on for two months hdhdhdhdh
I can’t wait to share the poster that he’s a part of, but we will have to see if we can get season two funded first!
[ID: A solidarity epic handshake meme, the arms reading “Sebastian Fen” and “Cecil Palmer” while the handshake reads “Being horny on main about a scientist who doesn’t really know they exist.” End ID.]
I am sorry but the Cecilos/Sebangelo parallels ARE KILLING ME.
Try and tell me Sebastian didn’t listen to WTNV because I will not believe you.
I actually think Sebastian is pretty good at selfcare.
We have someone who growing up didn't have anyone willing to consistently love and care for him - who jumped from windows 'to feel something' - who saw things that weren't there or at least he was told they weren't there but that's a theory for another post
AND YET
despite all of that he got himself to college & he has been going to therapy with the same therapist for a decade (maybe not the most trustworthy guy but that's not on him) & now he takes his prescribed meds even when the side effects are terrible & he has a job that pays enough for him to have his own apartment and has hours that allow him to maximise what sleep he can get (scared of the dark? work night shifts and sleep during the day - do what works for you not what society tells you) & he has friends that he trusts and is willing to let them help him ... occasionally
[Image ID: A portion of a transcript from Night Shift: An Urban Fantasy Audio Drama that reads: "Angelo: You don't have to say anything. As much as I want that, to feel...to hold you...I cannot be without my augmentations. Sebastian: "I guess there is nothing to say then... Angelo: Don't put it like that. Sebastian: I've never wanted anyone this much...but I can't even touch you. Angelo: "Look at me. No setback has ever kept me from what I want. This will be no different. We will figure it out together." End ID.]
they're so lovers separated by circumstances reaching out across the void to try to, even for a second, find a way to make the impossible work.
