WEBVTT 00:00.031 --> 00:04.078 [SPEAKER_01]: Hello, and welcome to our first little chit chat. 00:04.159 --> 00:06.583 [SPEAKER_01]: What we've decided to call the Yappening. 00:06.623 --> 00:20.368 [SPEAKER_01]: You can listen or watch the full episode of this over on our Patreon, but you can also catch a little conversation about our favorite things happening right here, right now. 00:20.348 --> 00:26.516 [SPEAKER_01]: We've been doing this for a while and we are not very front facing on the Patreon side of things. 00:26.556 --> 00:30.622 [SPEAKER_01]: So we decided that we were going to change that and we were going to do some chit chatting. 00:30.982 --> 00:32.885 [SPEAKER_01]: Change starts with us now today. 00:33.005 --> 00:34.868 [SPEAKER_01]: Change starts with us. 00:35.829 --> 00:36.830 [SPEAKER_01]: Incredible. 00:38.352 --> 00:40.595 [SPEAKER_01]: So these are kind of these are fully unscripted. 00:40.916 --> 00:43.599 [SPEAKER_01]: Just hang out, sort of vibes. 00:43.659 --> 00:50.068 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe the first few will be just like 00:51.162 --> 01:03.805 [SPEAKER_01]: And Cleo and Cleo and Cleo, if you've been here from the Monster Hearts days, you would have seen her going insane in the bad, a different set up then and she was always crazy. 01:04.696 --> 01:27.936 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, so half of this will be public and then half of this will just be for you, the patrons to check out and listen to little exclusive, um, but we thought we would do some favorites this time around. 01:29.232 --> 01:42.706 [SPEAKER_01]: And one of the best things about this is that I'm going to look at Ash, ask them what their favorite movies, and then just say go, and we'll see how long they can talk about it for. 01:42.726 --> 01:52.496 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, don't don't, don't see if there is this a challenge, because I literally, when I was, when I was thinking about this, I was like, all right, how can I be concise, but still get people on my side? 01:52.956 --> 01:55.338 [SPEAKER_01]: Like how, how can I do that? 01:55.939 --> 01:56.860 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, 01:56.840 --> 02:00.829 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so hi, what is your favorite movie? 02:02.092 --> 02:03.616 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, hi, I'm Ash. 02:04.177 --> 02:07.525 [SPEAKER_01]: My favorite movie is the 10th Kingdom 02:07.893 --> 02:32.382 [SPEAKER_01]: I have it here for it's it's a three disc set I don't know if we have any video content for this I can't put the trailer of this movie in here I can just write here trailer the movie I have a better idea actually okay so the 10th Kingdom is only seven hours in 27 minutes long 02:32.800 --> 02:55.348 [SPEAKER_01]: It's my favorite movie in the whole wide world so much so that for my birthday one year because all previous attempts had failed my one wish was to get Kenzie to watch this movie with me and she did she's a trooper she watched the holding bank thing and along with you of our other friends who I'm not going to say I tricked into I will say enticed because it is 02:55.885 --> 03:06.799 [SPEAKER_01]: It is an entertaining flick if I you start watching it by like at like eight or nine PM and then by like three AM, it's the funniest fucking thing you've ever seen in your entire life. 03:07.720 --> 03:11.104 [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm pretty much just just saying a lot, but not really telling you anything about it. 03:12.306 --> 03:17.472 [SPEAKER_01]: During my birthday party, I made bingo cards for people that didn't make it. 03:17.806 --> 03:18.267 [SPEAKER_01]: It was fun. 03:18.287 --> 03:18.608 [SPEAKER_00]: It was fun. 03:18.628 --> 03:19.009 [SPEAKER_01]: It was fun. 03:19.129 --> 03:22.075 [SPEAKER_01]: And it allowed people to sort of, you know, stay engaged, but I couldn't find those bingo cards. 03:22.095 --> 03:24.681 [SPEAKER_01]: I was going to find them and just sort of read off a couple of the things that I had made. 03:24.701 --> 03:34.802 [SPEAKER_01]: But what I did find was, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, 03:35.069 --> 03:37.852 [SPEAKER_01]: a power point that I had put together. 03:37.892 --> 03:56.972 [SPEAKER_01]: Where and I give sort of like a summary of the flick because there's three discs and we only got to the first two that first night because my friends are all weak, but because it was a Sunday night and people had to work the next morning, excuses, excuses. 03:57.513 --> 04:04.300 [SPEAKER_01]: And so when we had reconvened to finish off and watched the third disc, I want to make sure people remembered what happened. 04:04.280 --> 04:06.063 [SPEAKER_01]: I can share my screen out now. 04:07.124 --> 04:09.507 [SPEAKER_01]: I, I don't know if that's going to work though. 04:10.489 --> 04:12.692 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you can try to share the screen. 04:14.214 --> 04:23.527 [SPEAKER_01]: Or if you want me to just upload the file for patrons to, We can do both. 04:23.808 --> 04:26.271 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to share the screen so you can see how to look at this now. 04:26.311 --> 04:28.514 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I have seen it before. 04:28.554 --> 04:33.882 [SPEAKER_01]: The patrons can follow along at home after. 04:34.148 --> 04:43.094 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and I promise I'll go through this fairly quickly, um, how do I, I'm just slideshow. 04:45.480 --> 04:46.463 [SPEAKER_01]: Ah, that would make sense. 04:46.563 --> 04:48.529 [SPEAKER_01]: All right, so. 04:49.387 --> 04:54.933 [SPEAKER_01]: To pitch the 10th kingdom, I have the title card up front. 04:54.953 --> 04:59.679 [SPEAKER_01]: We've got mountains at the top and then beautiful New York City Skyland at the bottom and why is that? 05:00.620 --> 05:01.541 [SPEAKER_01]: Because where are we? 05:01.821 --> 05:02.903 [SPEAKER_01]: Who are the characters? 05:03.183 --> 05:04.344 [SPEAKER_01]: What's going on? 05:04.765 --> 05:09.370 [SPEAKER_01]: There's so much horrible early out CGI in the intro. 05:09.390 --> 05:16.879 [SPEAKER_01]: The twin towers are there and they do get like sort of crumbled and taken down and replaced by like a castle or something. 05:17.129 --> 05:18.671 [SPEAKER_01]: very dated but very fun. 05:19.212 --> 05:40.200 [SPEAKER_01]: So the movie is about this girl named Virginia and heard the father named Tony, who got es aside from New York City to the nine kingdoms, which is like a fantasy world wherein, you know, different mythologies and folk tales and like Grimm's fairy tales are all true, like, you know, red writing hood, Cinderella, all that jazz. 05:40.180 --> 05:44.066 [SPEAKER_01]: But they get east side of this kingdom because they tried to help a lost dog. 05:44.507 --> 05:45.428 [SPEAKER_01]: The dog's name is Prince. 05:46.330 --> 05:47.732 [SPEAKER_01]: Virginia and Tony's lives suck. 05:48.473 --> 05:56.026 [SPEAKER_01]: Prince the dog and wolf the man are from the nine kingdoms and have been cursed by and hired by an evil queen respectively. 05:56.426 --> 05:57.768 [SPEAKER_01]: Their lives also suck. 05:57.808 --> 05:58.830 [SPEAKER_01]: We'll get into that. 05:59.485 --> 06:01.109 [SPEAKER_01]: So our heroine is Virginia. 06:01.790 --> 06:06.641 [SPEAKER_01]: She works as a waitress in New York, but wants to be a chef in Edinburgh, and open her own restaurant someday. 06:07.002 --> 06:09.026 [SPEAKER_01]: She's constantly reopened to other people's bullshit. 06:09.047 --> 06:15.942 [SPEAKER_01]: She has more mommy issues, and you could throw a rocket, and she just wants to get back home. 06:16.428 --> 06:26.569 [SPEAKER_01]: Her father three separate haircuts that this woman has throughout this one hurt I will pay her But why I has to take to say movie when you're done. 06:27.451 --> 06:27.952 [SPEAKER_01]: It's millions. 06:28.012 --> 06:28.573 [SPEAKER_01]: It is a movie. 06:29.034 --> 06:36.529 [SPEAKER_01]: It's in the three disc set here No, her hair goes through it's own like her hair has a B plot honestly in this 06:37.623 --> 06:40.326 [SPEAKER_01]: Her father is the worst dad of the whole wide world ever. 06:40.807 --> 06:41.708 [SPEAKER_01]: His name is Tony. 06:41.768 --> 06:46.473 [SPEAKER_01]: He works as a janitor slash general handyman in the apartment building, him and Virginia Livin. 06:47.134 --> 06:48.876 [SPEAKER_01]: And he's so stupid. 06:49.918 --> 06:51.820 [SPEAKER_01]: Like so, so, so, so dumb. 06:52.380 --> 06:57.226 [SPEAKER_01]: He's the only person though that can understand prints the dog, so we do have to keep him around. 06:57.607 --> 07:00.470 [SPEAKER_01]: But do not let this man make a decision. 07:00.570 --> 07:03.073 [SPEAKER_01]: It will end badly for everyone, especially him. 07:04.606 --> 07:05.727 [SPEAKER_01]: Up next is Wolf. 07:06.548 --> 07:07.089 [SPEAKER_01]: He sucks. 07:07.710 --> 07:08.591 [SPEAKER_01]: He's a love interest. 07:09.071 --> 07:09.592 [SPEAKER_01]: I love him. 07:10.253 --> 07:10.893 [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry about that. 07:13.036 --> 07:13.837 [SPEAKER_01]: Some bits know about him. 07:13.877 --> 07:18.682 [SPEAKER_01]: He was released from prison by the evil queen to hunt down and bring prints the dog back. 07:19.263 --> 07:24.469 [SPEAKER_01]: He is aware wolf, which was also why he was locked up in prison for in the first place because of fantasy racism. 07:25.290 --> 07:34.140 [SPEAKER_01]: And he's in love with Virginia, our heroin in a very toxic early 07:34.441 --> 07:40.114 [SPEAKER_01]: He loves food and he calls people screaming and inexplicably, so many times. 07:42.507 --> 07:51.536 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, Prince, the dog that I've been talking about, he is so annoying, but he gets some like character development, but he stays annoying because he's gotta stay true to himself. 07:51.956 --> 07:56.080 [SPEAKER_01]: He is Snow White's grandson, so he's a neppo baby that's set to inherit the crown. 07:56.580 --> 08:01.105 [SPEAKER_01]: He got turned into a dog by his evil step mom, aka the evil queen. 08:01.765 --> 08:06.610 [SPEAKER_01]: And, but unfortunately, he's the only one with a brain cell in the entire party up to this point. 08:06.630 --> 08:07.210 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, don't be wrong. 08:07.531 --> 08:08.852 [SPEAKER_01]: I love Virginia. 08:08.832 --> 08:11.397 [SPEAKER_01]: She's also not the brightest bulb in the pack. 08:11.938 --> 08:15.124 [SPEAKER_01]: Wolf is just horny and then her and then told me the dad is just stupid. 08:15.866 --> 08:22.719 [SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, Prince can only talk to Tony the dad and so sometimes he isn't really, his ideas aren't really listened to because he is a dog. 08:24.022 --> 08:27.769 [SPEAKER_01]: He got turned into gold for a little while, but he's okay now. 08:29.318 --> 08:33.911 [SPEAKER_01]: Now the villains, the best fucking part of this whole movie are the troll siblings. 08:33.931 --> 08:36.158 [SPEAKER_01]: They're always serving so much fucking kind. 08:36.399 --> 08:37.682 [SPEAKER_01]: They are so, so stupid. 08:37.702 --> 08:38.786 [SPEAKER_01]: They're my favorite thing. 08:39.106 --> 08:44.121 [SPEAKER_01]: Especially Blue Bell, this bitch up here, like posting up like he's on, like some sort of record album. 08:44.557 --> 08:47.442 [SPEAKER_01]: The evil queen is over this lady over here. 08:48.103 --> 08:49.625 [SPEAKER_01]: She's a literal definition of boots. 08:49.645 --> 08:51.128 [SPEAKER_01]: The house down Slay and Mama. 08:51.849 --> 08:53.952 [SPEAKER_01]: The Huntsman is like her right hand man. 08:54.012 --> 08:58.499 [SPEAKER_01]: He's probably the only genuinely scary person in this flick. 08:58.519 --> 09:02.306 [SPEAKER_01]: He has a magic crossbow that will always pierce the heart of something whenever it's fired. 09:04.088 --> 09:10.699 [SPEAKER_01]: Both does count as a villain depending on where in the story you are and if you have any morals around like. 09:11.101 --> 09:11.963 [SPEAKER_01]: just anything. 09:12.664 --> 09:14.908 [SPEAKER_01]: And then there's also troll daddy king. 09:15.789 --> 09:19.155 [SPEAKER_01]: I had a skip past that last slide because there's a lot of spoilers on it. 09:19.175 --> 09:25.186 [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't want people to see spoilers, but this last slide in the whole deck is again, my favorite character Bluebell the troll. 09:25.226 --> 09:27.109 [SPEAKER_01]: I love him so so much. 09:27.169 --> 09:28.451 [SPEAKER_01]: She owns my entire heart. 09:28.571 --> 09:31.597 [SPEAKER_01]: If anyone says anything bad about him, I will burn their house down. 09:34.121 --> 09:34.662 [SPEAKER_01]: So. 09:35.131 --> 09:59.434 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, everyone go watch 10th Kingdom and if you have it, if you've seen it before, let me know because I have I have talked with a few folks, especially the TTRPG space that know about this and have watched it and have also enjoyed it and not just the ones that I have like dressed up onto my couch and forced to watch it, like people independently have seen this as well but that's my favorite movie 09:59.414 --> 10:04.632 [SPEAKER_01]: I hesitate to call the same movie because it is not a movie. 10:04.672 --> 10:06.699 [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, here's the thing. 10:07.040 --> 10:07.923 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not though. 10:08.385 --> 10:09.810 [SPEAKER_01]: It is a limited series. 10:10.171 --> 10:12.158 [SPEAKER_01]: It is not a movie. 10:12.847 --> 10:13.808 [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm. 10:13.888 --> 10:15.450 [SPEAKER_00]: I made it in my art. 10:15.510 --> 10:37.453 [SPEAKER_01]: Rachel introduced it to me as a movie when I was like the nine or ten and there for it is a movie five episodes right here We have the three-disc movie No, it's three discs and when it's over you can select the episode you want to see no you can select the scenes It's a scene selection like in a movie 10:38.463 --> 10:40.710 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I can't believe any series. 10:40.730 --> 10:43.218 [SPEAKER_01]: It's a movie once you're filming a DVD. 10:44.342 --> 10:45.446 [SPEAKER_01]: What is your favorite movie? 10:45.706 --> 10:47.793 [SPEAKER_01]: You want me to stop yelling at you about this movie? 10:48.214 --> 10:49.298 [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's a movie. 10:49.318 --> 10:50.582 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, at the moment. 10:52.081 --> 10:58.368 [SPEAKER_01]: Because I'm being just because I'm because I'm adopting your speech because you love this so much. 10:58.448 --> 11:03.093 [SPEAKER_01]: It's my favorite it's here's the thing I love media that is entertaining. 11:03.453 --> 11:05.175 [SPEAKER_01]: I never said I liked media that was good. 11:05.195 --> 11:07.797 [SPEAKER_01]: I would never claim that. 11:08.098 --> 11:13.123 [SPEAKER_01]: You calling this entertaining outside of the game as we played while watching it is a stretch. 11:13.904 --> 11:17.628 [SPEAKER_01]: It's also a thing genuinely so that it's a wild one. 11:17.788 --> 11:21.632 [SPEAKER_01]: Should hate wolf because specifically he says creamy. 11:21.899 --> 11:23.381 [SPEAKER_01]: He's the worst. 11:23.862 --> 11:26.987 [SPEAKER_01]: He calls Virginia Creamy and like seen too. 11:27.548 --> 11:28.730 [SPEAKER_01]: And then he keeps saying it. 11:29.171 --> 11:30.813 [SPEAKER_01]: And no one says anything. 11:30.873 --> 11:32.396 [SPEAKER_01]: But no one points that out as weird. 11:32.576 --> 11:34.579 [SPEAKER_01]: They're just like, ah, quirky wolf. 11:34.720 --> 11:34.960 [SPEAKER_01]: What? 11:35.661 --> 11:35.982 [SPEAKER_01]: Hello? 11:36.623 --> 11:39.828 [SPEAKER_01]: So it has its flaws, but it's still a good movie. 11:43.694 --> 11:45.717 [SPEAKER_01]: See, you know, it has its flaws. 11:45.978 --> 11:48.582 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's when we kind of stopped that sentence. 11:49.237 --> 12:02.453 [SPEAKER_01]: it's not a good movie it's it's a great slick it's a it's entertaining romps through a fantasy world what what could you ask for did you talk about it being a reverse is okay 12:02.618 --> 12:04.120 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, no, it is an E.C.I. 12:04.160 --> 12:04.861 [SPEAKER_01]: Reverse E.C.I. 12:04.881 --> 12:06.963 [SPEAKER_01]: is when people from the fantasy world come into ours. 12:07.664 --> 12:08.065 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh. 12:08.325 --> 12:09.106 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it does happen. 12:09.607 --> 12:11.309 [SPEAKER_01]: There are actually, it does both actually. 12:11.329 --> 12:14.353 [SPEAKER_01]: I would say it's like 10% or a verse E.C.I. 12:14.373 --> 12:16.696 [SPEAKER_01]: 90% like a regular E.C.I. 12:17.757 --> 12:21.081 [SPEAKER_01]: just depends on what character you're following, where you are. 12:23.725 --> 12:24.766 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 12:26.248 --> 12:26.348 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 12:28.538 --> 12:33.124 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so movies are hard for me, because I'm not a movie guy. 12:33.144 --> 12:33.685 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 12:35.848 --> 12:39.893 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and I did think about this a lot, and guess what I came up with, not an answer. 12:39.933 --> 12:42.176 [SPEAKER_01]: Incredible. 12:42.597 --> 12:47.944 [SPEAKER_01]: I could like break down like my favorite movie I saw last year with sinners. 12:49.786 --> 12:52.750 [SPEAKER_01]: But that's kind of like everybody's favorite movie from last year. 12:52.790 --> 12:55.474 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not really adding anything new to the conversation. 12:56.888 --> 12:57.509 [SPEAKER_01]: What am I like? 12:57.549 --> 12:58.450 [SPEAKER_01]: So you did love. 12:58.970 --> 13:00.131 [SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead. 13:00.151 --> 13:02.214 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I was so like, what do you like your favorite TV show? 13:02.234 --> 13:03.575 [SPEAKER_01]: Because I know you're more of a TV show. 13:03.595 --> 13:10.923 [SPEAKER_01]: I know, but I feel like we should do a separate one for those separate favorite about my favorite TV show. 13:12.564 --> 13:15.227 [SPEAKER_01]: Because I don't like go back and rewatch movies a lot. 13:15.688 --> 13:15.848 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 13:15.868 --> 13:23.055 [SPEAKER_01]: There was a point in time where I would have said that, oh, what's that movie about time with Rachel McGadams? 13:23.996 --> 13:24.837 [SPEAKER_01]: About time? 13:25.897 --> 13:36.056 [SPEAKER_01]: I would have said that about time was my favorite movie, except I rewatched that last year for the first time in 10 years and No, no, thank you. 13:36.076 --> 13:42.167 [SPEAKER_01]: So the movie is about this man who the men in this family have the ability to turn back time 13:42.147 --> 13:46.073 [SPEAKER_01]: until they hit like a life event, and then they can't turn back time after that life event. 13:46.213 --> 13:52.823 [SPEAKER_01]: So for instance, like he has a kid, he can't go back before he had a kid anymore because it changed a lot of stuff. 13:53.724 --> 13:53.825 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 13:53.845 --> 13:58.632 [SPEAKER_01]: But the issue is that I was like, oh, this is, I remember this being like a fun cutie movie. 13:59.914 --> 14:10.129 [SPEAKER_01]: This man goes back in time so that he perfects his courtship of this 14:10.109 --> 14:11.951 [SPEAKER_01]: out of the equation completely. 14:12.852 --> 14:15.175 [SPEAKER_01]: So I decided that's not good. 14:15.315 --> 14:18.319 [SPEAKER_01]: That's not literally right time to go to therapy. 14:21.363 --> 14:40.065 [SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, like if you can ignore that, it's like a cute movie and it's they have good chemistry and it's in stuff like that, but you're really like K-pop demon hunters too, which is also like in the movie like there's a feeling what everyone was like 14:40.045 --> 14:55.049 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, my like for K-pop demon hunters, though, has like surpassed the movie in terms of the deep deep fandom I found myself in at the end of last year that I've actually crawled out of. 14:55.410 --> 15:07.369 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I've ever, yeah, in terms of like, I don't think I've ever been that deep in a fandom in which I have learned things that have existed that I previously was unaware 15:08.243 --> 15:13.909 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and do I want it was, I'm not going to talk about it. 15:14.169 --> 15:14.990 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, that's fair. 15:15.010 --> 15:16.011 [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, and that's fair. 15:16.652 --> 15:17.433 [SPEAKER_01]: That's so fair. 15:17.453 --> 15:30.727 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, that became more of like a polyship that I was into that had surpassed the, you know, myself. 15:30.867 --> 15:31.508 [SPEAKER_01]: Movie's still great. 15:32.008 --> 15:32.609 [SPEAKER_01]: Movie's so great. 15:33.130 --> 15:38.115 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, 15:38.703 --> 15:46.195 [SPEAKER_01]: like, like, coded as like a polyqueer therple and so when the Sasha boys first showed up and they were like, oh my god, they're so hot. 15:46.276 --> 15:48.119 [SPEAKER_01]: I was genuinely so thrown off guard. 15:48.139 --> 15:49.481 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, but you guys were lesbians. 15:49.561 --> 15:49.842 [SPEAKER_01]: What? 15:50.563 --> 15:51.624 [SPEAKER_01]: What's high? 15:51.685 --> 15:54.549 [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't have that when I watched the movies for the first time. 15:55.471 --> 15:56.052 [SPEAKER_01]: I did not have that. 15:56.152 --> 15:58.456 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, fairly certain that wasn't the case. 15:58.917 --> 16:01.902 [SPEAKER_01]: And then I was like, but I'm going to like happen through the movie. 16:01.922 --> 16:02.803 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, but I'm going to. 16:02.783 --> 16:04.085 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to read it like that. 16:04.306 --> 16:05.387 [SPEAKER_01]: That's it is for me. 16:05.407 --> 16:11.498 [SPEAKER_01]: I think I just really liked Mira as soon as she like beat that one demon and with sure I think we all love Mira. 16:11.518 --> 16:14.864 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, what a favorite book. 16:14.904 --> 16:15.885 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, books. 16:16.006 --> 16:28.487 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, books are hard to just because I've read so fucking many, but I also made a pact with myself two years ago that I was no longer reading books that weren't queer. 16:28.737 --> 16:32.203 [SPEAKER_01]: nice and I'm just like life is too short. 16:32.303 --> 16:36.410 [SPEAKER_01]: I spent my entire childhood doing this because I didn't know any different and I'm not doing it anymore. 16:36.550 --> 16:46.286 [SPEAKER_01]: If somebody like recommends a book, I'll I'll do it but I'm not seeking out books that aren't queer and you might be like, well, how do you really, yeah, there's a lot of them. 16:46.366 --> 16:47.408 [SPEAKER_01]: So many, hey gang. 16:47.428 --> 16:54.660 [SPEAKER_01]: I have not had a single problem finding a book, especially like in the fantasy realm. 16:54.640 --> 16:57.062 [SPEAKER_01]: sci-fi realm have not found in issue. 16:57.102 --> 17:02.588 [SPEAKER_01]: I've also found a lot of just like narrative fiction that is queer and really good. 17:02.728 --> 17:03.268 [SPEAKER_01]: You're a boy now. 17:03.288 --> 17:04.930 [SPEAKER_01]: It was one of my favorite ones I read last year. 17:04.990 --> 17:09.935 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, favorite books. 17:12.597 --> 17:18.123 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, um, also hard at changes just because I read so much. 17:18.823 --> 17:24.529 [SPEAKER_01]: With the podcast we make, maybe we should just talk about fantasy. 17:25.471 --> 17:26.032 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, why not? 17:26.212 --> 17:28.374 [SPEAKER_01]: Because I've got some favorite fantasy series. 17:29.395 --> 17:32.878 [SPEAKER_01]: All of them are graphic. 17:34.379 --> 17:37.983 [SPEAKER_01]: This is one of them, my them are explicitly lesbian. 17:39.484 --> 17:40.205 [SPEAKER_01]: Is that the locked tomb? 17:40.445 --> 17:40.865 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 17:40.885 --> 17:41.766 [SPEAKER_01]: Is that getting in the night? 17:42.327 --> 17:42.947 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 17:42.987 --> 17:43.908 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, getting in the night. 17:44.248 --> 17:49.113 [SPEAKER_01]: Which somebody recently told me, well, okay, here's another opinion of Kenzy's. 17:50.294 --> 17:53.757 [SPEAKER_01]: I do not agree with fan fiction being published into books. 17:54.243 --> 17:56.367 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think it's a bad precedent to set. 17:56.547 --> 17:59.112 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a little bit ways you to be perfectly honest. 17:59.814 --> 18:04.844 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think literature or media inspired by other things is fine. 18:05.325 --> 18:12.158 [SPEAKER_01]: And so the, there's somebody who told me that getting the 9th was a homestuck fan fiction. 18:13.621 --> 18:14.783 [SPEAKER_01]: What? 18:15.016 --> 18:16.758 [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, number one, I don't know that. 18:17.418 --> 18:19.740 [SPEAKER_01]: But also, are you sure? 18:20.321 --> 18:24.725 [SPEAKER_01]: And then they were like, well, it was like, it was like, she talks about like, how she used to write homestuck fanfic. 18:24.765 --> 18:26.747 [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, okay, so is there a correlation? 18:26.767 --> 18:27.948 [SPEAKER_01]: So there's like, so I don't know. 18:28.308 --> 18:34.153 [SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, it seems like, yeah, it seems like, yeah, it seems like if it was, it would have been inspired by it. 18:34.193 --> 18:39.958 [SPEAKER_01]: Again, I don't know that piece of media to like say anything about it, but anyways, that was just a long tangent to say that it doesn't bother me. 18:40.299 --> 18:45.023 [SPEAKER_01]: I love getting the night. 18:45.948 --> 18:58.330 [SPEAKER_01]: the Monster Brew Comerant, which is written by Seth Dickinson, who is the only man who I would give the rights to write lesbian because of how does it so incredibly flawlessly that I question his identity. 19:00.975 --> 19:01.516 [SPEAKER_01]: That's great. 19:02.798 --> 19:07.787 [SPEAKER_01]: One that I read was it last year and I told you about it was 19:07.767 --> 19:08.708 [SPEAKER_01]: The vagrant gods. 19:08.848 --> 19:10.671 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I like that series. 19:10.691 --> 19:12.013 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I started so good. 19:12.033 --> 19:25.732 [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't necessarily call it anti colonialists, but it is about fighting colonialism, though you do have to question at the end if they don't just recolonize themselves, but Super gory. 19:25.772 --> 19:26.653 [SPEAKER_01]: So that one's like, 19:28.827 --> 19:32.031 [SPEAKER_01]: If you're, if you're not into that, it's a very gorgeous morning. 19:32.532 --> 19:35.656 [SPEAKER_01]: And then this is fantasy adjacent. 19:35.736 --> 19:58.007 [SPEAKER_01]: It's the only really explicitly dark academia book I feel like I've ever read and that is the Atlas series, which I am, I'm not as obsessed with as when I was reading them when I thought it was the greatest thing on God's great earth, but I'd used to love it and I would like to revisit to see if 19:58.763 --> 20:09.294 [SPEAKER_01]: But that's how reading books tends to be is, because I'll be reading a book and like hallucinating so vividly and just like in the fucking pages with it, edit it out, but it was incredible. 20:09.314 --> 20:12.978 [SPEAKER_01]: And then like a year later I'd be like, was I high, what happened? 20:12.998 --> 20:13.579 [SPEAKER_01]: That's easy. 20:13.599 --> 20:16.042 [SPEAKER_01]: I felt like I was going crazy a lot. 20:16.422 --> 20:20.326 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's me, I'm reading the everlasting by A-Lix E-Hero right now. 20:21.728 --> 20:28.315 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god, I haven't fully, I have a little bit of struggle with their work. 20:28.683 --> 20:33.712 [SPEAKER_01]: I, I will just say that it, it, it hooks me because of the big B.C. 20:33.812 --> 20:52.024 [SPEAKER_01]: Night Lady and then it kept me because it's it genuinely is like the most T for T fucking couple like they even like at one point they're like yeah and we sort of like changed our clothes like we would change our genders because nothing really fit us anyway like they're both like very like gender not performing 20:52.713 --> 21:21.285 [SPEAKER_01]: folks and it's just in like the the the mask one he's so pathetic he's just a pathetic little academic I love that and then the big buff net lady and that's like the most shallow surface level way I could pitch this book because it's actually so fucking insane and deep with 21:21.586 --> 21:41.012 [SPEAKER_01]: And like, I realized that my books do tend to fall into like just a couple categories, what are the categories, dragons, if there's a dragon on the cover or in the title or anywhere, I'm probably going to pick it up and at least have it on my shelf and then I also was looking at my bookshelf and I was like, 21:42.680 --> 22:03.726 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, wow, I really like pride and prejudice, and pride and prejudice retellings, and pride and prejudice retellings, and pride and prejudice retellings, and pride and prejudice retellings, and pride and prejudice retellings, and pride and prejudice like, do you like, because I like this movie, pride and prejudice zombies? 22:04.246 --> 22:06.432 [SPEAKER_01]: I love prime fagginess and zombies. 22:06.452 --> 22:16.341 [SPEAKER_01]: I think the movie is so fun and it's such a good adaptation of the original text too because I would say her mushrooms are like, wow, they got on the knees and then I think it's zombies. 22:16.361 --> 22:19.470 [SPEAKER_01]: This is incredible, it was so good! 22:19.822 --> 22:24.687 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, but I will say the majority of the Pride and Pride just retellings that I have are queer retellings. 22:24.807 --> 22:34.596 [SPEAKER_01]: Because again, I'm in the same boat of like, at this point, I really just want to absorb queer media and to nandestories because everything else has been so hashed out. 22:34.716 --> 22:40.522 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, even if it's the most tropey tropey trope, if you make it gay, there's all of a sudden so many more interesting things you can do with it. 22:41.103 --> 22:45.627 [SPEAKER_01]: I have one more, I don't know if it's technically recommendation or just like a cry for help. 22:46.400 --> 22:54.351 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's a poetry collection titled From Blossoms by Lee Youngly. 22:54.483 --> 23:23.680 [SPEAKER_01]: And like, like, like, like, like the title poem from blossoms is one of my, it's probably my favorite poem of all time, however, comma, I have not been able to find the book that it comes from, because and I've spent years going to like every little bookshop, I've been asking around like through my, my many, my many, you know, side quests trying to like see if anyone can order this book for me, I found out that there are. 23:24.065 --> 23:40.187 [SPEAKER_01]: I think 36 copies sitting in a warehouse in England, in a company that apparently has shuddered its doors and refuses to open them for anyone no matter how many emails they send, like asking for please just what copy. 23:41.028 --> 23:42.450 [SPEAKER_01]: You, Mills, have you sent, Ag? 23:42.470 --> 23:43.231 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. 23:43.471 --> 23:46.195 [SPEAKER_01]: I also have had multiple bookstores, send emails on my behalf. 23:48.438 --> 23:51.642 [SPEAKER_01]: But if anyone can find a copy of that, 23:52.533 --> 23:53.675 [SPEAKER_01]: or sound like a crowd for help. 23:53.715 --> 23:57.101 [SPEAKER_01]: I'll keep this in the public facing episode. 23:57.122 --> 23:58.664 [SPEAKER_01]: So people can help you, please. 23:59.165 --> 24:01.089 [SPEAKER_01]: From Blossom's by Lee Young, you'll also just read that poem. 24:01.169 --> 24:02.331 [SPEAKER_01]: It's incredible. 24:03.914 --> 24:04.696 [SPEAKER_01]: It's about friendship. 24:05.337 --> 24:08.162 [SPEAKER_01]: It makes me cry. 24:08.665 --> 24:30.471 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this is a gay, but this was a formative fantasy series in my childhood, and I'm gonna talk about it because no one I don't know anybody else who has read this book series and they made it into like a two-season TV show that wasn't good, but I did love it There's like 15 books The sort of true series 24:31.278 --> 24:34.701 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this series, I'm gonna reread this ever again. 24:34.721 --> 24:36.102 [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't read this since I was on high school. 24:36.603 --> 24:38.424 [SPEAKER_01]: This series is, they're all this thick. 24:39.385 --> 24:45.871 [SPEAKER_01]: They're, uh, yeah, I adored these books. 24:45.971 --> 24:48.873 [SPEAKER_01]: In granted, you know, if you're not in sharing good kinds. 24:50.755 --> 24:53.817 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I have, I have that. 24:53.837 --> 24:55.859 [SPEAKER_00]: I have, I have that I have read them. 24:56.260 --> 25:00.323 [SPEAKER_00]: I have, I have, it's all your somewhere. 25:01.417 --> 25:02.598 [SPEAKER_00]: I have a sort of truth. 25:02.698 --> 25:04.320 [SPEAKER_00]: I have that fucking guy. 25:04.880 --> 25:06.602 [SPEAKER_01]: You have the wizard's first rule. 25:06.622 --> 25:08.323 [SPEAKER_00]: I have, oh my god. 25:08.423 --> 25:08.784 [SPEAKER_00]: Hold on. 25:09.805 --> 25:13.548 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, she's no currently looking to find. 25:13.568 --> 25:29.162 [SPEAKER_01]: I can't speak to her because she doesn't have her headphones on anymore, but if she doesn't find this, 25:33.631 --> 25:35.833 [SPEAKER_00]: I have one, one at home. 25:36.794 --> 25:37.735 [SPEAKER_01]: What is that one? 25:38.116 --> 25:38.616 [SPEAKER_00]: Wait, no. 25:38.636 --> 25:39.898 [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a different series. 25:41.059 --> 25:42.941 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I forgot she couldn't hear me immediately. 25:45.383 --> 25:45.684 [SPEAKER_00]: What? 25:47.145 --> 25:47.406 [SPEAKER_00]: No. 25:47.826 --> 25:48.146 [SPEAKER_00]: No. 25:51.009 --> 25:51.069 [SPEAKER_00]: No. 25:51.089 --> 25:53.092 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just trying to find it to prove the point. 25:54.573 --> 25:57.276 [SPEAKER_01]: She knew what I was going to do, yeah. 26:01.103 --> 26:02.225 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I love this. 26:02.625 --> 26:10.779 [SPEAKER_01]: I love this book, Bridget, Bridget, Regan, plays Kaylin in the series, and then she also played Poise. 26:13.063 --> 26:14.705 [SPEAKER_01]: That's not going to chat. 26:15.206 --> 26:18.351 [SPEAKER_01]: That's not going to chat about this. 26:18.371 --> 26:20.314 [SPEAKER_01]: I think what you pulled out was a different series. 26:20.635 --> 26:21.556 [SPEAKER_01]: No, that was. 26:21.637 --> 26:22.117 [SPEAKER_01]: That was. 26:22.258 --> 26:25.002 [SPEAKER_01]: I did have Wizard's first rule. 26:25.285 --> 26:33.773 [SPEAKER_01]: I also just want to let you know that it was super funny because I had said, if you can't find it, I said, Ash doesn't have her headphones on so she can't hear me, but if she can't find this, I'm not going to believe her. 26:33.833 --> 26:46.484 [SPEAKER_01]: And then you said, I got to find this to prove a point because I know you can't see exactly what you, I know you, I'm going to find it and send a picture, okay. 26:46.504 --> 26:49.267 [SPEAKER_01]: Although it might be, it might be on my bookshelf back home. 26:49.407 --> 26:52.930 [SPEAKER_01]: It might not be on my bookshelf anyway. 26:52.910 --> 26:54.313 [SPEAKER_01]: for me. 26:55.235 --> 26:57.138 [SPEAKER_01]: People talk about, I'm not a Lord of the Rings fan. 26:58.020 --> 27:02.509 [SPEAKER_01]: This is where I dove into fantasy hardcore was this. 27:03.351 --> 27:09.062 [SPEAKER_01]: If we're talking about high fantasy, it would be this. 27:09.346 --> 27:15.611 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, before we completely lose ourselves to our conversation, we should probably wrap it up here. 27:15.631 --> 27:19.014 [SPEAKER_01]: It's been almost an hour, but thanks for hanging out. 27:19.154 --> 27:24.499 [SPEAKER_01]: If you have listened to this all the way to the end and honestly, if you haven't, could who could blame me? 27:25.900 --> 27:31.505 [SPEAKER_01]: We're just here to chat and talk about things like that. 27:32.325 --> 27:38.931 [SPEAKER_01]: But if you read any of these or watch any of the movies 27:39.232 --> 27:39.793 [SPEAKER_01]: We have a comment. 27:39.833 --> 27:40.294 [SPEAKER_01]: Let us know. 27:41.236 --> 27:44.101 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I will talk about this further. 27:44.181 --> 27:45.143 [SPEAKER_01]: If that's not clear. 27:45.243 --> 27:47.086 [SPEAKER_01]: I will talk about all of these things further. 27:47.106 --> 27:49.791 [SPEAKER_01]: I could not stop talking about them. 27:49.831 --> 27:53.177 [SPEAKER_01]: Really, um, the happening. 27:55.341 --> 28:01.071 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, we'll figure out maybe next time we will we will do TV because I could do a whole hour on TV. 28:01.237 --> 28:17.254 [SPEAKER_01]: I think TV could just be me asking you questions that you can do because I side side note gang one of my favorite things is listening to Kenzie talk about TV or like watching her Instagram stories about whatever series has taken over her brain at that moment it's 28:17.673 --> 28:23.786 [SPEAKER_01]: Jed, you would at least, it fills my heart with love and joy and appreciation for this incredible human being. 28:23.806 --> 28:25.790 [SPEAKER_01]: I am the opposite. 28:26.492 --> 28:29.177 [SPEAKER_01]: Ash told me the other day that I am the opposite of a gatekeeper. 28:29.237 --> 28:31.823 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm going to make you watch. 28:32.143 --> 28:36.272 [SPEAKER_01]: You're not so much a gatekeeper as you're like a... 28:36.252 --> 28:39.675 [SPEAKER_01]: Like one of those, I'm holding the door open, ushering everybody is. 28:39.695 --> 28:46.422 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're fucking like border cally, like nipping at
