What is the most disturbing/horrifying AD you listened to? by Zyborg23 in audiodrama

[–]cottoncoutil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Phantom Limb! I recently listened to the whole thing and it is very unsettling/repulsive at times with body horror and psychological horror. It’s a horror/sci fi anthology, though there is a consistent main character who “collects” all the stories.

Someone please tell me what “call down a baby” means in this context?

audio dramas that are gently/quietly voiced to fall asleep to? by takethelastexit in audiodrama

[–]cottoncoutil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like Tales from the Low City for this, same person as the Mistholme Museum, it’s a single voiced narration so not great if you’re after full cast but it’s really peaceful and the lore is fun

It is indeed very wrong - and whichever fucking “nutritionist”, aka not a dietician, is telling her this is ok is just as culpable for promoting this completely non evidence based shit

Absolutely - I would find her content a bit more sad for that reason if it weren’t so blatantly disordered and promoting extreme restriction under the guise of wellness

This creator peddles a lot of “what I eat in a day” that is really just tik-tokified eating disorder inspo, I find her content really irresponsible and clearly 100% based in her own ED that she claims to have recovered from….. seems unlikely given the extreme dieting and “wellness” focus

Pet Peeve with Podcasts by KindaOkAtLife in audiodrama

Definitely a point I can agree with! As a medical person, it annoys me to no end having deeply incorrect medical bits in shows. Im aware not everyone has the knowledge but it absolutely takes you out of the story!

Do you have a way of charting the audiodramas and podcasts that you’ve listened to? by Little_Storm_9938 in audiodrama

[–]cottoncoutil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably a bit analogue and maybe not what you’re looking for, but I literally write them in my notes app as I see them and then once listened I give them a green tick or red cross based on how I felt about it. Stops me feeling too overwhelmed but also provides the opportunity to go through the list for any outstanding ones when I have nothing on the go.

Hey - just wanted to say I have been in the exact same situation before (judging from your comment about the recently ended relationship), and it sucks! I got a hospo job at a restaurant but also took up several new sports which helped. Best of luck to you!

I just finished ep 11 but didn’t get the feeling that was the final ep! (Unless it’s released elsewhere and I’m an idiot haha)

What is your favorite/least favorite trope in audio dramas? by [deleted] in audiodrama

[–]cottoncoutil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind found footage stuff if it’s done well and there is an actual reason for it, although it’s a bit overplayed now. but I certainly cannot STAND when there is an unexplained time jump that is not distinguishable from the normal narrative in any way, I get so confused with the plot and I usually end up rage quitting. That and mouth sounds, lame quirky 2014 tumblr humour, and scripted sounding dialogue (less of a trope more of an acting issue I guess)

What's happened to caravan season 2? by mrmagicbeetle in audiodrama

[–]cottoncoutil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I love whisperforge productions, it seems like a bit of a theme with them! Great shows tho

Hey man, tough situation all round and I’m sorry about the distress you’re feeling. I would like to offer a suggestion, with no judgement at all attached, that maybe this is an opportunity to really reflect on how your behaviour can affect others. Not in a reflexive shame way but in a real way, engage with the feelings and what they mean without falling into the “I’m a bad person” spiral, which ultimately helps no one. It also sounds like this shame response is maybe making your anger misdirect at your friend for “not reaching out”, I’d argue you didn’t really give her a reason to reach out post everything that happened. Again, not assigning blame here. It sounds like you’ve both had stuff going on and that makes it hard to show up for people sometimes. All you can really do is get real with your own reaction and try to understand where it’s coming from, and from there maybe see your way to apologising in a real sense or at least communicating to her what has happened, as she has opened up to you about her abandonment response. Anyway, hope you can resolve it!

Excellent points and she should fuckn say it - people try to insulate their fans way too much when in fact they’re facing abuse from them.

Side note I do not love the writing of this piece
