Why you should get into podcasts
For everyone who is looking for a reason to start listening to podcasts!! I’ve only listened to a few so far but I’ve fallen deeeeep into the wormhole and am looking to drag some people down with me.
Reasons!
-Podcasts are super convenient. You can listen to them while you drive, cook, clean, draw, fold laundry, take a jog, etc etc. It’s not like binging tv shows where you have to stare at a screen all day, you can do other stuff while listening.
-There is a ton of easily accessible content. Ever feel like you’re losing passion for your old fandoms and are searching for a new obsession? Podcasts are for you! There are sooo many podcasts that have lots of episodes and for the most part, at least the ones I’ve listened to you can get for free on Spotify?? Super easy.
-All of the premises are really unique and creative. Sometimes it seems like mainstream media has beaten tropes and concepts to death, and podcasts are really refreshing in this respect. Every single podcast I’ve heard of has an entirely original idea for its premise, whether it be about a private investigator on Mars or supernatural therapy sessions or ancient fear gods, every podcast is interesting and fun and different.
-The storytelling is, dare I say, galaxy-brain. The plots of podcasts are all very intricate and well-constructed and pretty much flawless to a degree. The same goes for character development and everything else. It’s the kind of thing where you relisten to it and catch a bit of foreshadowing you hadn’t noticed before or think about a parallel and you’ve suddenly transformed into the ‘poetic cinema’ meme.
-There is sooooo much representation. Pretty much every podcast, at least the newer ones/more popular ones/ones that are well-known on tumblr, have extensive lgbt+ rep. I’m talking characters who are gay, lesbian, bi, pan, nb, trans, aro, ace…i’m not saying they cover every single identity, but there are some podcasts where it would be difficult to name a straight character. It’s pretty awesome.
-There’s something for everyone! There is a wide range of different genres of podcasts, from horror to fantasy to sci-fi to basically everything. There’s a lot of variety in the tone, too. Like, some podcasts are really prestigious and serious and have super in-depth plots and lore, and the character’s emotional arcs are kinda second to the plot. Then you’ve got podcasts where there is barely a plot and it’s just a completely wack story where the characters make out a lot. Take your pick.
-They’re just good y’all. They can make you laugh or cry or both, usually both. You’ll fall in love with the characters and finally be able to understand the fandom’s bizarre inside jokes. Give them a try, trust me.
I am now going to make this everyone’s problem

[Image Description: A digital drawing of IMOGEN from Stellar Firma. On the left side there are two headshots; one looking forward and the other looking to the left. On the right of the image is a fullbody of her. She is a robot with all white plating, a circular blue LED on both sides of her head, and a single lens representing an eye on her face. She has LEDs on each side of her face that turn red to resemble blushing. End Image Description]

the stellar firma MAP server is doing an art exchange, here’s my piece for @joeytwoeyes! had a lot of fun drawing your versions of them!
[ID copied from alt: digital art of david-7 and trexel geistman from stellar firma. david is wearing a fluffy pink bathrobe and reclining in an armchair in a retrofuturistic clone suite, with smooth flowing edges and pastel colors and a jacuzzi in the back. they are holding a drawing of bathin in one hand and a wine glass with sparkling blue slurry in the other. an opened bottle of sparkling slurry and a bubble pipe sit on a table next to him. david is looking up to the doorway in surprise, where trexel is being blocked from walking in via electric zaps from the doorframe. i.m.o.g.e.n., represented as a pixellated face made up of eye and lips emoji on a screen, is looking on with a smile. End ID]

Decided I really needed to practice some dynamic posing and foreshortenning, and chose to use Bathin Galactonium as my model.
Some Bathin Galactonium fan art for the week.
