You do amazing work! I love your YouTube channel!
I'll be honest, when I saw a new notification in my ask box, my YouTube channel was the absolute last thing I expected to see a message about 😂
Thank you so much, anon! I'm really glad you're enjoying the channel! It's been super satisfying watching the list of thumbnails grow as I get more podfics queued up, and I really appreciate anyone who's checked out my fics on there!

Getting through the Kickass Video Essay of the Week is always dangerous because it makes me desperately want to make video essays myself, except I wouldn’t know Adobe After Effects if you slapped me across the face with it, YouTube terrifies me as anything except something I consume, and all my actual best thinking is done via Tumblr afterthought tags because in my head I imagine it’s sorta like glancing sidelong at the camera and adding additional context to any given moment or thought like I’m in the Emperor’s New Groove
also I genuinely do hyperfixate so it would be niche topics I can’t imagine anyone else on the planet finding entertaining (except me) like, “Is the Grid It’s Own Character?”; “Are Programs Posthuman?”; “How Kevin Flynn Destroys the Sublime”; “Why Tron Legacy is a Horror Movie”; “The Grid and the Closet” and it analyzes how, symbolically, a dude constantly leaving his heterosexual day life to live within a neon-lit fever dream where traditional procreation is literally unheard of and everyone wears skin-tight body suits and stilettos and oscillate between high-octane performance and nightclubs, and he’s unable to talk about this double life to others outside of this place, might be construed as possibly a lil LGBT+ (would this make CLU a physical manifestation of Flynn’s own fear of his homosexuality?); over an hour of me going through Scars 1 and 2 screenshot by screenshot and it’s titled something like “WATCH TRON UPRISINF” in all misspelled caps where it’s painfully obvious I have no background in Film Theory but by god that’s not about to stop me,
and idk something like “Identity in Tron” where I cheekily compare Tron Identity and the Uprising episode “Identity” that have nothing in common other then a fixation on identity discs and like what are those? Halo symbolism? The soul? Are programs angels? (insert here about previous scholarship on this bc I *know* somebody’s talked about this somewhere already) Are programs without discs fallen angels? Is Tron Identity purgatory? Is Query on the level of a User with how easily he manipulates information on a program’s disc? Does the Grid have its own disc somewhere??? Where’s the MCP’s disc?? Why is there a pawn shop in Argon; do programs really buy and sell used goods, and is this due to an ever shrinking amount of space/memory on the Grid? Is currency on the Grid held within the disc? Does this mean programs are their own currency? Is this capitalism or communism if the means of production (the programs) are also the currency? If a program steals another program’s disc and learns all their secrets, could the disc-less program not just take the thief program’ s disc and use it as their own, since it technically holds all their memories now? What happens when a program’s disc runs out of space; do they all intermittently explode in a giant cloud of amnesia like Cass does? If seeing Tron’s face was enough to momentarily snap Beck out of his amnesia via the power of friendship, does this hint at the possibility that programs may not need discs at all?
and so on so forth until my brain finds something else to chew into infinite nothingness

2022 Podfic Roundup!
(2021 here)
forever hurtling towards the earth, by vienna_salvatori
The Mechanisms
Raphaella la Cognizi, Dr. Carmilla
teen and up
24m 3s
Brilliant scientist Raphaella la Cognizi is down on her luck.
She might've made more breakthroughs in her field over the past six months than most could hope to achieve in a lifetime, but it's still not enough. Her project isn't working, and she's run out of time. No one else sees the potential. No one else appreciates the majesty of it, the impossible breakthrough with every painstakingly assembled connective joint, the full sum of scientific knowledge etched into the sweeping curves of not-quite-feathers.
It's not enough. And yet-
And yet there is a woman standing in the middle of Raphaella la Cognizi's lab, annotating her diagrams and rearranging her wires, and even though it might kill her, Raphaella realises she might just have a chance.
when midnights break their sleep, by SummerFrost
The Witcher
Geralt/Jaskier, Geralt/Jaskier/Yennefer, Geralt & Renfri

1hr 48m 55s
The first Snapchat that anyone ever sends Geralt is a picture of his own irritated face.
shrike_princess: can u believe this dumbass finally got a snapchat bc a cute boy asked him nicely
"It wasn't even that nicely," Geralt says flatly.
AKA: The one where Geralt is a bartender and Jaskier sings karaoke.

Gunpowder Tim has lost his octokitten.

He has seen his octokitten...
(A Mechs version of I Want My Hat Back, by Jon Klassen.)
where no man (should have) gone before, by fushifables
Stellar Firma
teen and up
28m 45s
“You– You’re not going to stay?” he was saying nervously. “Don’t you think you should... er, instruct me? Commentate? Mock me for my hubris? Please Hartro anything—”
“Stop whining, Trexel,” Hartro said, pressing a large green button on the console in front of her with a flourish. “I have zero-gravity yoga, so you’ll have to manage on your own. Just remember,” she added, making for the door, “If you die in the HoloDome—trademark Stellar Firma, Limited—you die in real life! Toodles!”
The Point Of Clothes, by pikablob
Five Nights at Freddy’s
Vanessa & Glamrock Freddy & Gregory
general
16m 1s
After taking Gregory in, Vanessa takes him to get new clothes for the first time. While there, he plucks up the courage to ask for something specific.
so i’m the dragon (big deal), by SummerFrost
The Witcher
Renfri/Yennefer, Geralt/Jaskier/Yennefer, Jaskier & Renfri, Geralt & Renfri
explicit
2hr 51m 0s
If Renfri were straight and also someone who believed she needed a relationship to have a meaningful existence, she'd probably marry Geralt and not totally hate her life. Luckily she's neither of those things, so she's fucking Geralt's girlfriend instead.
You’ll Figure It Out When You Get There, by TheQuietWings
Five Nights at Freddy’s
Vanessa & Glamrock Freddy & Gregory
teen and up
15m 3s
Vanessa doesn't know exactly what she's supposed to do now.
It turns out there is no 12 step program for recovering from being manipulated and possessed by a child murderer who likes to dance around in a rabbit suit.
or, an ex-security guard and a piece of stolen property have a chat while Gregory robs a gas station blind.
Nothing Really Sticks, by Rosie447
Stranger Things
Robin Buckley & Steve Harrington, Steve Harrington & Nancy Wheeler

The Very Best People, by scioscribe
Stranger Things
Robin Buckley & Steve Harrington
teen and up
1hr 45m 40s
“Why are you messing up my undercover operation, Steve?” Dustin said. “Do you want another tear to open up in the space-time continuum and suck us all into the Upside Down? Do you want the entire world to turn into squishy, mind-flayed zombies because you and Robin couldn’t get your shit together?”
(Or, the one where Steve and Robin go undercover in an evil suburb.)

A Mile Away, by lenaballena
Check Please!
Nursey/Dex, Chowder & Nursey & Dex
teen and up
5hr 32m 45s
The thing is, he’s had study nights and TV marathons in Chowder’s room. He’s gotten stoned in Shitty’s, and Lardo’s, crashed on Jack’s floor after a kegster, gone to Bitty’s for advice, and checked Ransom and Holster’s for ghosts. If it were anyone else’s, Nursey would at least have some indicator of what was going on, because he’d be able to recognise the decorations, the layout.
But Derek Nurse wakes up in William Poindexter’s room and has no idea where the fuck he is.
A Christmas Carol - Mechanisms Style, by otherhawk
The Mechanisms
teen and up
18m 34s
