Lucy makes an impassioned argument about the cyclical nature of storytelling in Star Wars, then we remember that this is a comedy podcast.In the most confusing action scene we've ever come across, Fireeyes and Dart Vadue take over the Enterprise. Fireeyes makes love with a nurse who looks like Travis's friend (eek) while Daddy Vade kills 100 people. Meanwhile, Look, Hand Swolo and the rest of the gang are meeting with the Gunguns on Naboo. Watch out! We meet Jar Jar and The Wife, who makes Hands very uncomfortable, and confront the Gungun Boss.

    We're doing some new and different things! This is the first episode of our mini series to see out the end of the year, using content from a listener to expand the MIU and lead into a reboot of My Immortal. Today we are joined by a special guest for the very first time! Christina, host of The Restricted Section, joins us to read through some listener content!Jamie (@my_agricultural_romance), a fanfic writer and horny simpleton, has sent us a goddamn THESIS! In this episode we read his background research on the connections between serpents, sorcerers and vampires in traditional folklore, and how these tropes are used in the Harry Potter novels. This is all setting us up to read his My Immortal reboot fanfic, and makes a very compelling argument for the canon confirmation of Vampire Potter.Unrelated tangents include: tits and breastfeeding, Ralph Finnes' biceps, and a truly horrifying anecdote about a friend of a friend who got bitten by a snake and took a nap. We continue our discussion of how vampires suck blood, and Christina has our favourite suggestion thus far.We highly recommend you listen to The Restricted Section, a pro trans rights, anti JK Rowling Harry Potter podcast.

    We incorrectly thought this was the penultimate episode! We are both completely exhausted, but are enlivened by this absolute BANGER of a chapter, before being supremely let down when we realise that this is in fact the FINAL CHAPTER of Forbiden Fruit!Zac makes a throwaway joke about burning bookstores that we then labour the point over until we reach a joke we're happy with, on mic. Listen for the thrilling punchline!!! The discussion gets a little more serious than usual as we go over the burnout and creative guilt that we both - Lucy especially - has been feeling in recent months. Lucy, as usual, pours her little heart out, and Zac, as usual, is both very silly and very wise. Chapter 8: The Kidnap opens in the change room, Tiaa alone but looking AWESOME. We interrupt ourselves with an update from a goffik correspondent! You can check out the scene from Dance of the Vampires with the goffik, German version of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' here. It's absolutely phenomenal. By the time we return to the narrative, Tiaa has returned home and decided to ditch school. Dave comes in and acts like a BOOFHEAD (that's BOOF with a B, for our international listeners), so Tiaa decides to go out and meet Snoofles at PABLO NIGHTMARE, the goffik club that goes off at 4 PM.Jacob, the WEREWOLF KING manages to kidnap Tiaa, the witch-vampire with a samurai sword, out from under Snoofles' nose. He rubs his wet mushroom penis against her knee, she gasps, and then Edward BURSTS into the room!

    Chapter 3: Duality brings some much-needed warm fuzzies into the MIU.Shooting on 'Zac?' has hit a few road bumps, perhaps due to the increasingly erractic behaviour of the executive producer and titular character, so Zac is able to make it into the studio again. Starting off with a strong mansplanation of how art works and a reveal of his current Hollywood BFF, Zac then pitches an innovative plan for how we can monetise the podcast before we dive into Chapter 3: Duality. Raven declares what time period her work is set in (2006, DUH) and confirms that Eternity is indeed joining the first years at Beautiful Castle (trademark), then we follow Draco and Panny into the dungeons. Eternity sees a VERY familiar face, and then the night goes on "really well."

    Episode 5: CROOKSHANKS!

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 10, 2022 54:09


    We are characteristically unprepared today, but we finally stumble across a discussion: love triangles! Turns out, neither of us are particularly well-equipped to discuss love triangles, but we can agree that My Immortal offers up an extremely juicy version of a love triangle. We learn that Tara didn't read all the boox before embarking on this work, which justifies her (absolutely fantastic) characterisation of Dumbledore. Ebony receives a terrible ultimatum, Draco creeps around corners and pops up at inopportune moments, Ebony goes to BAND PRACTICE, and we finally see some SPELLS! LANGUAGE WARNING: some extremely outdated and unacceptable language comes up in these chapters. We do not condone the use of language that maligns anyone, which we hope we have made clear on mic. Goes without saying, but words like these can and do harm, and we urge our listeners to work to remove this kind of language from use.CONTENT WARNING: mentions of self harm and suicide.

    We discuss our long and fabled histories with the source material for My Immortal before reading maybe the best two chapters of the entire work. Also discussed: fandom hatred toward their idols' partners (#justiceforhilary), the trials and tribulations of writing sex scenes, and our continuing war with the Hemingway fandom.

    We introduce ourselves (briefly), the podcast (badly) and My Immortal (a little more thoroughly). We paint a picture of what our lives looked like at the time of publication (2006-2007: The Golden Years), Lucy gives her first impassioned speech on behalf of fanfiction, and talk far too much about rejecting God.
