Made for Out Of The Auditary 2025 podfic fest :D

Thank you to finemeal for writing this fic and having a blanket permission for podfics <3

Time to share this freak here.

Yup, this guy's made the rounds a few times on other sites, now he lives here.

The problem with “I want to write a fic where Sai and Karin are friends” is that it is 100% in the territory of like. “The rating exists purely due to the gore and trauma.”

Is there even kissing? Probably not. Is there cutting out tongues and then biting your friend to grow it back in order to slip the Gordian Knot of Danzo’s seal and gain your freedom so you can tear down the horrifying organization you grew up in? Y… yeah. There is.

I'm a circle I guess. I think this test doesn't capture the fact that I don't ineract with people that much If I don't have the energy to be positive snd sometimes forget you are supposed to talk when you're having a conversation.

I've never met someone who actively disliked me though (apart from one guy who had a problem with my partner), but I feel like I wouldn't even notice that.

Alr slay

I recorded a podfic of Gym101 by @lexosaurus for VoiceTeam Mystery Box challenge DO THE WEIRD STUFF. I decided it is perfect to exercise to, so I read it during a workout ^^

Summary:

Danny figured that revealing his identity to Valerie would result in her never wanting to speak to him again. Instead, she forces him to go to the gym with her.

Some Nights Tumblr Version.

Based off this post.

Lyrics:

Some nights, I stay up staring at my laptop

Some nights, I don’t sleep at all

Some nights, I ‘m glad that my dash is never ending

Some nights, I wish I could log off

But I still stay up, I still read your posts

Oh Lord, I’m still not sure why I’m awake at four

What do I scroll for? What do I scroll for?

Most nights, I don’t know anymore…

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh

This is it, these are ship wars

What are we fighting for?

Why don’t we read fanfic already?

I was never one to sleep at night - save that for those who have a life

Post twice as much and get half as many likes, but here feels come again

To stay for a while

But that’s alright; I blog from in my bed tonight

I blog because I’m wonderin’ just who I, who I, who I am

Oh, who am I? mmm… I have no life

Well, some nights, I wish that my dash would end

‘Cause I could use some friends for a change

And some nights, I’m scared I’ll hit post limit again

Some nights, I always hit, I always hit…

But I still stay up, I still read your posts

Oh Lord, I’m still not sure why I’m awake at four

What do I scroll for? What do I scroll for?

Most nights, I don’t know… 

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?

Left my social life for this? Or do I have no friends because of this?

(/awkward pause where I didn’t know what to write/)

So log on.

Log on.

Log on,

OH LOG ON!

Well, that is it guys, that is all, scroll twelve pages down and I’m bored again Ten years of this, and only bloggers understand  I’m not sticking ‘round with my folks downstairs; Sorry to leave, mom, I had ship pairs I’m going to be forever alone, all dried up from my laptop brightness My heart is breaking for my OTP and the con that they call “love” ‘Cuz when they look into each other’s eyes… Man, you wouldn’t believe the most amazing things that can come from… Some terrible writers…ahhh…

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh

Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh

The other night, you wouldn’t believe the fic I just read about my OTP

I wish it would update already

I wish you’d tag all of your stuff, man.

Why won’t you tag all of your stuff, man? oh…

I’m never logging off

Why would I ever log off Tumblr… oh …

Oh, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh.

It was really fun to make!

Check it out to know more about comment exchange!

@apple-sapling interviewed me about Comment Exchange about a month ago as part of a larger Podfic Radio show that didn't end up happening. But we wanted to put the interview out there anyway, so we have now posted it as a stand alone to AO3.

The Comment Exchange AO3 account is listed as a co-creator, so you can find it that way, or just click here.

You can also listen right here:

Thank you @apple-sapling for the great questions and the fun interview!

Danny briefly considers putting up that one tapestry with a huge genealogical tree and claiming its his to explain his many dead relatives.

He starts to think of alternative, less direct way of getting rid of stuff after a local occult comes to one of the garage sales. He doesn't think much about them at first, and simply treats them like any other customers. His sales usually attract some odd crowd and he isn't one to judge.

Well, a few days later they give him the same gothic lampshade he just sold them.

He can't sell it again. He isn't going to risk his secret identity getting exposed via a garage sale, and all the awkwardness that would come with such encounter.

He decides to gift it to Sam - he thinks it is something she or one of her goth friends might like. They end up talking about it and danny starts to pass some more antigue knickknacks for her to sell. It snowballs from there.

As a current college student I refuse to believe Danny as Ghost King doesn’t answer summons. As soon as people start summoning him he starts demanding home cooked meals and fat wads of unmarked cash.

That they started off summoning him with the blood of virgins was a bit distasteful, but once he told them to knock it off (threatened to take whatever harm they do to innocents out on their skin, tenfold) they seemed to get the message and started giving him offering of home decor and kitchen appliances instead.

All things being equal, they don’t even ask for much in return. For most of them, just the confirmation that he exists and is “”watching out“” for them is enough. Although lately he’s started giving his cultists random junk (a nice rock he found, a handful of marbles, a piece of scrap metal from his parents lab) and telling them they’re sacred artifacts of great power, as a joke.

Thank you!!! I'm so excited for this!

I feel like with your pointers I can actually build an exercise routine for once :D

I'll definitely be posting what exercises I end up doing with the finished pod. Who knows, maybe I'll inspire some listeners to follow along.

So, I want to podfic your Gym101 fanfic (this is me asking your permission to do it) for a VoiceTeam challenge, but I also want to get swole for Dash this 2025.

Here's my idea: I read your fic while doing exercises. I will need to experiment a bit to find out which exercises I can do while recording. So far I was thinking:

squats - obviously following Valerie's instructions, I don't have a weight bar though

active bar hang

plank - I'll see how much can I actually record doing that...

maybe some stretches for when I get too out of breath

I'd love any suggestions and pointers for exercises I can do while podficing. Guide me

PS: Your presence alone made me want to redo my pull-ups new years resolution 💪💪💪

Oh that's an awesome idea. I'm all for it. And now I'll need to write another chapter for it lmao!

As far as programming goes, I think anything that you can do that you can stick to are the best. Like for me, I fucking hate doing most stereotypical core exercises like planks and crunches and those 10 minute ab videos, so I've been mixing abs and core into my other weightlifting exercises instead of having it as its own dedicated thing.

But if you wanted some more concrete pointers, I would say in general like outside of just recording for the podfic, building a program around hitting every major muscle is going to be key for preventing muscle imbalances, and thus compound exercises are going to be your friend. Squats are a great one because they hit glutes, quads, and hamstrings, which are three major muscle groups on the lower body. And to hit calves, you can superset them with calf raises or something. Bada-bing-bada-boom, with 2 exercises you've pretty much got your lower body taken care of.

For upper body, things like push ups hit the chest, biceps, and triceps. Since you mentioned you have a bar, doing active bar hangs, scapular pulls, and negatives (all progressions of the pull-up) hit a bunch of muscles in the back, plus you're engaging your core for stabilization. If you have any heavy objects laying around your house, you can do farmers walks around a room which are another awesome thing for core work and all around general body strength (hits a ton of muscles all over the upper and lower body, and holding the heavy objects at different heights can engage more of the shoulders too).

Even though I'm in my weightlifting era rn, I'm a huge fan of calisthenics in general and do a lot of them for like functional strength and mobility. Definitely recommend you look into that if you're tryna workout from home this year!

Oh, and make sure you warm up before you exercise! There are lots of great dynamic stretching vids on Youtube.

Have fun and keep me updated on how it all goes!
