Ok so, little announcement post. Basically I recently lost my job in a massive layoff, and I've decided to take advantage of the time I have to attempt content creation full-time while I have some savings. Don't feel too bad for me, I'm going to treat this as a blessing. The update has my content roadmap as a new full-time content creator, plus some ways for you to help me ascend into full-time production, even if you can't pledge money directly!

I got smacked around recently by a big emergency expense, so the amount of time I have for this full-time content creation experiment is more limited than I thought, so I'm going to grind as hard as I can and ask for as much help as I can get!

TO THE FUTURE!

okay but like seriously guys if me posting about him didn't convince you to check his stuff out yet (because God knows I've been in your shoes like a year ago) or you're just never tried like real good audio dramas, or audio dramas in general–

escaped's stuff is top tier

if you've never listened to an audio role play, forget all those cheesy, bad-rep stereotypical stuff you've ever heard, his stuff is truly on another plane of existence,like seriously on another level

he is literally the best VA and author I have come across, and I've been listening to audio dramas for like the past 7 years

check him out!, you won't regret it

i love fic authors who are gooners with such closely held artistic sensibilities that it nearly eclipses the goon. we shall goon, but first we shall follow 70k minimum of a meticulously-plotted and spectacularly-executed character arc replete with several devastating psychological portraits and some trenchant political commentary on what it means to be a human in this world.

there's some wrong in this but I can't tell you what

Just got a chatgpt ad where the use case was "can't decide a new years resolution". I can't think of anything more sad than needing a robot to tell you what your own ambitions are. Loser shit.

''when did we all become so performative'' idk man when the threat of being recorded at any time and posted for milions to see without your knowledge became normalised.

getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled "hey stupid! the bus is that way!" very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes

one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went "this bitch thinks she's on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom."

My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust I’ve ever seen in anyone’s eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.

For the people in the notes going "why is Boston like this": a) the insults are a way to show you have no ulterior motives when helping someone (and don't need to be thanked or repaid), and b) Boston was settled by the Irish

collecting these

HOW could i forget this classic

pantone

didn’t jesus do something similar to that

every time darlin isn’t included with the shaw pack and is instead switched with Sam, it makes me so upset. The boys are LITERALLY their main family

yes yes you're right

guess what guys, my period hormones gave me a big ol pimple and now it's everyone's problem. so here's my headcanons on what the Shaw Pack listeners do when their mates get acne (BEAR WITH ME OK 😭)

Angel pops David's because they find it satisfying. He's a bit grumpy about it, but lets them do it anyway. (But only if the acne is on his shoulders or back or something. If it's on his face, Angel doesn't want to give him scars, so they try to get him to do skincare. The most he'll ever do is wash his face with soap.) (One time they managed to coax him into wearing a face mask, and they laughed at him so hard he swore he'd never touch one again.)

Milo hardly ever gets acne because he's really careful with his skin. When he does get acne, Sweetheart lets him know and he's in the bathroom with his skincare within 90 seconds. Sweetheart follows him and it quickly devolves into a full self-care day for both of them with nail polish, movies, face masks, and snacks.

Out of all of them, I think Asher gets acne the most. Babe makes him sit on the counter while they put those star-shaped pimple patches on him. He rocks them like they're a fashion statement.

I feel like vampires probably can’t get acne, but Darlin has definitely trolled Sam once or twice. They squint at Sam until he asks them if something's wrong, then they walk over to him, take his face in their hands like they're about to kiss him, frown deeply, and poke a spot on his cheek. "You've got a giant zit. It's gross." Then they walk off, and Sam gapes after them until he remembers he's a vampire, then he tackles them while they laugh uproariously.

yall act like I would let dontis dying slide.

To my fellow white people: this is not about it being an annoying way to "censor" the word and that isn't how it caught on or what it was for. Writing "ahh" instead of "ass" became a meme because it's supposed to sound like a "black guy accent."

youd think a band named violent femmes would be made up of violent femmes. but it isnt. its dudes

genuinely no mary... the australian dollar is not doing great right now

i need to type with more of an accent

youse may bloody reckon a band name of violent femmes'd be a buncha sheilas after a couple bundy cokes. but it aint. packa blokes.
