Sometimes identity doesn’t change, despite what TikTok will tell you.

That is where I’m trying to end up being. I’m in Philadelphia, so it’s 96 levels now. Therefore we’re slowly obtaining indeed there. It is simply like i would like it nowadays. It is my ideal time. I want to be a main personality inside the autumn, and it’s really perhaps not happening but.
Drew:
Yeah. Well, what’s exciting that you are exposing at the moment is actually, so for our listeners, it’s been a week since our finally event, in fact it is just what it usually is actually. But also for us, we really recorded the initial six episodes even as we happened to be finding our voice and creating this new podcast. We taped that in advance, however we are rather current. Making this like we have now had a whole summer. Therefore we haven’t recorded in several months and in addition we’ve already been doing all kinds of things
Christina:
Uncharted area. The last time we taped, we hadn’t came across. We have fulfilled personally.
Drew:
That’s true! Yes!
Christina:
Drew was a student in my personal ding, dang residence, simply hanging out.
Drew:
Yes!
Christina:
I would personally just wake up and get like, “Well, appear, that’s Drew over truth be told there.”
Drew:
So great.
Christina:
It absolutely was truly delightful.
Drew:
You may have such an attractive house.
Christina:
Thank you. It’s a homosexual disorder residence therefore we think itâs great extremely dearly. Yeah. Therefore we’re merely on a fresh journey and it’s really really exciting are happening this opportunity with this audience. Can we have anything we need to pontificate about before we have into the little game?
Drew:
After all, I don’t know. I Got a large summer, but I guess things will happen right up due to the fact periods come along, butâ¦
Christina:
Yeah, I do not would like you to load everything in the front.
Drew:
You do not need me to spoil everything?
Christina:
Yeah. Load it-all right in front? My God, what a horrible sentence.
Drew:
It sounded slightly sexual, additionally I Truly had more of a looked at wantâ
Christina:
It performed!
Drew:
I was thinking more though that you are currently making Residence Depot and happened to be like engaging in your car, that I know there isn’t, but which was in addition where my brain is, that also might be sexual.
Christina:
I additionally only love that the thing that is maintaining me from browsing Home Depot is actually a vehicle and never ab muscles person that Im. Like everytime i am at a house Depot, someone has been like, “Ma’am are you lost? Are you safe right here?” And I’m similar, “No, frankly. So much wood around. I’m not safe.” Therefore I have a game for Drew because we like to perform games.
Drew:
I am listening.
Christina:
And I made the decision, throughout respect of myself and all of our visitor, that the was going to end up being just a little intro in to the world of fanfic for Drew. Just what exactly I have accomplished is actually I’ve taken five programs from Drew’s preferred Characters in Television record, and I am browsing study you some labels from AO3’s fanfiction and you’re planning to need certainly to imagine which regarding the shows these tags are making reference to. I shall begin general, they’ll increase particular with the show while we go along.
Drew:
Okay. I Recently involve some concernsâ
Christina:
Definitely you will do.
Drew:
Because I am not sure a great deal towards fanfic globe. Very every tv show has actually words which happen to be involving that show?
Christina:
Yes.
Drew:
That range in specificity, i might envision?
Christina:
Yes. Yes, they are doing.
Drew:
And thus if you wanted to discover a demonstrate that had like, I don’t know, medieval times you can smack the medieval tag.
Christina:
We’ll point out that i did not discover any medieval occasions labels in every of those programs. Like to notice it.
Drew:
Well, that isn’t my personal style, but I found myself only tossing one thing out.
Christina:
Yes.
Drew:
Because i assume inside my head, I was like, oh, well, if you are reading fanfic, you are considering suggests that have characters you love. But that’s not necessarily the fact. Occasionally you are checking for a topic and after that you can discover programs from fanfic?
Christina:
You could. That could be an unusual option to address fanfic since most individuals approach it knowing the ship they’ve in mind. Immediately after which they claim, I want to study maybe an alternate market version of this fanfic. Maybe i would really like some damage convenience. Probably I would like a slow burn. Perhaps i simply desire some straight up smut. There are many places by which people get. Following addititionally there is simply additional tags, letting you know the type of flavor and ambiance of the story. And then we’re going to go flavor and ambiance. Because obviously vessels deliver it away and an alternative market isn’t specifically helpful per the show, therefore weare going to be particular toward tv show.
Drew:
Okay, cool. Let’s jump involved with it.
Christina:
Fine.
Drew:
Why don’t we discover with each other. Yeah.
Christina:
Fine. Your first one. We’re going to begin with fictional politics, praise kink, abandonment problems, really sluggish burn.
Drew:

Christina:
Imaginary politics, yes.
Drew:
Really does that mean like politics being grounded in real world, but are imaginary or totally fictional politics?
Christina:
I haven’t read the fic at issue, but i am assuming it indicates entirely fictional politics.
Drew:
Okay.
Christina:
We could continue.
Drew:
Yeah, keep working.
Christina:
Past abuse, injured comfort, I wanted soft items to live and do you actually. Hilarious tag. Only must study that one.
Drew:
Okay, hold off. Possibly i will get the next and consider what my personal favorite shows are. Okay. Because I’m trying to think about the demonstrates that have politics inside. Oh hold off, will it be
