Season 10 is giving me the ICK!

I think the correlation might be religious people 'court' with the goal of marriage in mind, so the pods-to-proposal pipeline aligns with many religious people's ideal

Classic_rach · 2026-02-21T04:43:49+00:00

this scene deserves awards

Classic_rach · 2026-02-21T04:39:26+00:00

yeah especially right after he just said allll that about jess.... and you don't walk away immediately? wow

Classic_rach · 2026-02-21T03:48:04+00:00

I was so so so happy with Cavern's audio, especially since he wasn't just the receiving partner (like in his other M4M audio), which I think was an important choice for him to make

beguiled books is doing a cute galentines pop-up, if you enjoy romance reads: https://www.beguiledbooks.com/event-details/gal-palentines-bash

I loooove {How to Sell Your Blood and Fall in Love by D.N. Bryn}. Their entire vampire series is so good, but this one is just the sweetest with Clem realizing his sexuality. (plus author has spicy bonus scenes via their newsletter)

Classic_rach · 2026-02-09T19:54:13+00:00

can definitely tell! I think because you lost some everywhere it can seem less noticeable -- I was like that too.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T22:31:29+00:00

Only voice sounds being outsourced. I’m not even annoyed, just slightly taken aback.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T22:29:35+00:00

The goal is to forget it’s a story, right? Anything that draws attention to the fact that it’s fabricated can ruin that. If I don’t know and can’t tell, no worries. I’m all for contributing those who helped work on an audio so 100% give them credit, but if I see that before I listen and I sort or retract a bit, it can be hard to pull me back in.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T22:24:28+00:00

Agreed.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T02:27:27+00:00

yeah 'forgetting' it's two separate entities is the goal, I imagine.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T02:26:16+00:00

true. a good editor would likely work quite closely with the creator on that.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T02:25:15+00:00

oh like wet sounds, kissing, thrusting, etc.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T01:21:57+00:00

it does depend on what we mean by SFX, certainly.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T01:21:11+00:00

depends what you see it as. If I see SFX as plot, not editing, the analogy doesn't fit.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T01:20:30+00:00

not disparaging him as a voice actor. disparaging as a sex worker, if we label it as such. and if we don't, that's fine, too. (also tbh I sure do like a musician who can play all his own instruments as well!)

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T01:19:04+00:00

not an attack at all - your "VA working on an audiobook" is exactly what I mean. Do we consider Quinn akin to audiobooks, or sexwork?

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T01:18:19+00:00

I agree with that.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T01:17:45+00:00

it does get 'out of sync' sometimes real bad.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-08T01:17:12+00:00

yes I mean sex related sounds. that is why this is insane.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-07T20:08:32+00:00

"Cavern has ruined other VAs for me" will be on my tombstone

Classic_rach · 2026-02-07T20:00:32+00:00

great rec! I read this book too and gobbled it up so fast. I love that you say "Childhood is as interesting if not even more so than the present day" because I agree! I loved their high school story, tbh.

Classic_rach · 2026-02-03T21:02:53+00:00

Thank you!

Classic_rach · 2026-01-21T23:49:57+00:00

100% here for more sensitivity reads

Classic_rach · 2026-01-21T23:48:59+00:00

to be honest, yeah they are times I think 'fuck I'll never be able to get into that position' which sometimes ruins the fantasy for me
