The episode of Project: Shadow titled "Writing for a Subscription Platform" features Charlie, a non-binary sci-fi and fantasy writer, discussing the unique challenges and opportunities of writing for a subscription-based platform. Charlie contrasts this model with traditional novel writing, highlighting the constant need for engaging content in subscription writing and the different kind of pressure it entails.

Charlie explains that in subscription writing, each part of the story must be captivating, unlike a novel where the overall narrative holds precedence. This model allows for the story to evolve and grow over time, offering a more dynamic and interactive experience for both the writer and the audience.

The subscription model is detailed as a process where readers pay a small fee for early access to drafts and the opportunity to influence the story's direction. Charlie emphasizes the benefits of having committed beta readers (or alpha readers) who provide valuable feedback throughout the writing process.

Charlie shares personal experiences and strategies, including a shift towards more outlining than usual, while still allowing room for spontaneous creativity. They also express the vulnerability and fear associated with sharing early, unrefined drafts and the worry that their work might not resonate with readers.

The discussion then shifts to the mechanics of using a platform like Ream for publishing drafts and the fear of judgment that writers face. Charlie questions traditional publication methods' sustainability and suggests that the subscription model aligns more closely with modern readers' preferences for interactive and regularly updated content.

Finally, Charlie invites listeners to join them on their writing journey through their podcast, "The Nonbinary Writer," and teases future episodes focusing on media analysis, specifically Star Trek and Star Wars.

In this heartfelt episode, Charlie shares their personal journey through a period of burnout, not from overwork, but due to the overwhelming nature of current global and personal challenges. They discuss the difficulty in balancing their passion for discussing media with the increasingly toxic environment in fandom debates and the broader societal turmoil.

Charlie reflects on their disappointment with recent media, like the adaptation of "Dune," and how it missed capturing the essence of the source material's themes, which are so relevant today. They express frustration with the public's misinterpretation of their work and the struggle to find relevance and joy in creating art amidst the chaos of the world.

This episode delves into the importance of finding joy in small things and the necessity of living in the present rather than waiting for a better future. Charlie emphasizes the significance of the little joys in life and how they keep us going, despite the overwhelming nature of global issues like climate change and social injustices.

In 1990, two things happened that would change the course of my life forever. One. I heard the Nine Inch Nails song, Head like a Hole, for the first time . The second thing that happened was I told my friends that I liked it.

Up until this point, I had been a kid of the eighties and early nineties. I liked a lot of the hair metal and a lot of the pop music that was around at the time. But there was something about the sound of this song that just drew me in and made me want to hear more.

And so when I told my friends that I had been listening to Head like a Hole, they were like, oh, You like that? Have I got something for you. This Is when my world of music expanded and changed, and I got into a lot of genres I had never thought about before. I started listening to punk music, had a friend introduced me to the Dead Kennedys, and TSOL. The True Sound of Liberty. And the more he realized that I liked that band, especially songs like. Darker My, Love, the more he started introducing me to other bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, and eventually, we got into the really amazing goth music of Christian Death.

There are so many bands I could list here. There's so many bands that I could talk about that really helped foster this change in my musical taste. And it's hard to say exactly what it was about this music that called out to me. It may have been the atmospherics. It may have been the tone. The sarcasm that's most of the singers delivered their lyrics with.

It's hard to say exactly what it was that drew me first into Gothic music, but I can tell you what held me there, and what converted me into the scene and into the subculture. And that was the album Rise by Nosferatu . still to this day, one of my absolute favorite albums.

From it's haunting intro track, to the title track Rise, Lucy is Red, I fell in love with the sound, the storytelling, this world that was being open to me. The more I got involved with the music, the more I got involved in the scene. The more I started dressing the part, playing around with the makeup.

What I found in goth music was a community of like-minded individuals that had a sarcastic view towards life, a morbid curiosity, and who joked about death.

I always find it funny when I hear people talk about goths and goth music, because they tend to confuse us with other scenes and other crowds. And I get it. The aesthetics are similar. But that's all that they are, aesthetics. Goth music is an umbrella term for a whole bevy of sub genres from coldwave to shock-a-billy, and everything in between. . It arose from the post-punk scene and took a lot of its cues from the New Romantics.

Whether you believe the genre started with Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, or Magazine, there is one band that was at the forefront of the sound, and that was Bauhaus. Most people that have any familiarity with the goth scene, are familiar with them from the haunting sparseness of Bela Lugosi’s Dead, to She's in Parties, to the myriad beautiful albums that Peter Murphy did after leaving the band.

There's a haunting quality about goth music and it speaks to something deep down within you. It's not about telling our stories. It's not about connecting to real feelings.

Goth is a dark fantasy world, where monsters lurk in the shadows, where technology is out to get us and to rob us from some of the simple joys of life.

It's a genre that refuses to die, and continues moving on even to today with bands like. Vision Video and Male Tears. Though they aren't together anymore, O Children is one of the best goth bands of the last, maybe 10 years. Disco Dancers Dead is a quintessential goth track that if you haven't heard it, you need to check it out. It's a good entry point into the genre .

And it's hard to explain exactly what the music is, because, like I said, it's an umbrella term for a lot of different genres. Shock-a-billy is rockabilly, think Elvis if he was a regular guest, on Elvira's show, talking about all of the splatter flicks and creature features that were coming out.

Cold wave takes on the aesthetics of new wave music, but. It makes them more distant, more echoing more haunting, and of course, more synthesizers. And I would be remiss if I didn't point out if you wanted a really good example of this genre to check out the Frozen Autumn's wonderful song. I love you, but I've chosen synthesizers.

And in that song, you get a sense of what I'm talking about. This sense of humor that pervades the Gothic music, from Christian Deaths. Jesus, if you love me, where's the sugar.

To the sarcastic love songs, Spectre (love is dead) by Christian Death.

There is. Just a macabre tongue in cheek humor that fills. All of the music. And unites the scene together.

Now, if you ask two goths to define goth music, you will get four to five different answers, and that again is a problem because it's not one genre. There are many debates as to what actually constitutes a Gothic genre. And I feel like I should say since I started out talking about how my entry point to this world that led me to goth music was Nine Inch Nails, Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson are not goth. They may share a certain aesthetics, especially in their early music videos. But. They have nothing to do with and no connection to the musical aesthetics, and goth is after all a music scene.

When I first started thinking about writing this post, it came about because my friend, Megan McCarthy who writes is writing a post about her love for Emo, and my initial ideas for this post were, quite scathing of Emo because. Goth and Emo are both very different genres of music and they're often confused for each other. Again, because some of the visual aesthetics are the same, even though the lyrical content and the just style of instrumentation is so different. And so I have grown to have a distrust and a subtle dislike upon hearing about any emo act, or emo band. I'm getting better. I'm not as bad as I used to be about it, but it persists and it's still there.

The biggest problem that I faced in writing this essay was asking myself, why does it matter?

There are so many ways I could have approached this. I could have broken out the dynamics of the music and done a tear down of all the genres. I could have listed all of the bands that you should check out and I will list some I've already listed a few.

But I think the most important reason for me to write something about goth music is just to say how much it's meant to me. Not just the songs. While, there are some songs that have over the years taken on a very special meaning to me.

Time of Legends by Nosferatu

Black Planet by Sisters of Mercy

Almost anything Rozz Williams ever recorded for Christian death.

The music and my love for it is important, but what goth really gave me was a sense of community.

In so many ways goth music works like a shibboleth, if I mention a goth band that I like or a goth song that I really, really love, and I see somebody respond to it, while we may not be best friends forever, I know that we have certain things in common, and this is somebody I want to talk to. In fact, I've made a lot of friends over the years that way.

Or people will be talking about music and something that they really love, or obscure bands that they're into that most people haven't heard of and I'll bring up like Clan of Xymox or Alien Sex Fiend, Virgin Prunes. And amongst people that are not in the scene, they start geeking out about the names of quite a few of these bands. But when somebody reacts knowingly. I know that I can have a conversation with them.

We probably share certain aspects of our sense of humor in common. We've probably read a lot of the same books, watched the same movies, and have a similar taste in common. That goes beyond just that band.

Got music is a scene after all.

And that sense of community has been so important for someone like me who has a hard time making friends. I am not a big fan of talking to strangers. I am fairly introverted and don't like putting myself out there. And to have this kind of a shorthand, where I can just mention something in conversation and see where my people are. I've done this with other things too, with Star Trek and Star Wars and some of the other literary and film and TV franchises that I am fond of. But goth music has been much more consistent in bringing my attention to people that would become valuable, and integral parts of my life. People that I would talk to for years, decades. Build longterm relationships and friendships with.

And I'll forever be grateful. To this dark, moody and broody genre for bringing that to me. Because it seems like such a paradox that a music genre known for its obsession with death and murder, and vampires, and demons, and dark stories. Would be able to bring people together, and to bring them together in ways that are so fulfilling. But it happens.

Now don't get me wrong, not all goth scenes are perfect, or good. And there are a lot of toxic goths out there. There are toxic people in every scene. But to this day, my love of all things, goth and Gothic, has not only inspired my art, brought comfort in the darker times in my life, brought me humor in the good times, and brought me friends. When I needed the most. It's been a gift.

And if you're not familiar, maybe you should check it out. It's not for everyone, but if it is for you. You know what? We might have more in common then you think.

I've had a bit of a hard time lately. It's been not the best kept secret in the world. My. Podcasting has dipped and I've been talking a whole lot about how this is hard, that is hard, hollowness emptiness, ennui. But yeah, it's tricky sometimes to get past all of the chemistry in my brain and see the world as it really truly is .

I have some friends that are very supportive , and really trying to help me out right now . And my brain decided to interpret that as them having absolutely no faith in me. And that's a me problem. That's not as them problem and we're going to talk about that on today's episode, of Project Shadow .

Hello everyone. My name is Charlie. I'm a non-binary scifi fantasy writer, and you can find all my stuff over at projectshadow.com. And yeah, I'm going to have kind of a low key chat. With y'all today. I hope that I have some morals to the story. I hope that by the end of this, you'll see the path that I'm trying to walk through and maybe, just maybe if you're having a similar crisis of confidence, you will find something in this that'll help you out too.

Because I've made no bones about it. I have no self-esteem. Absolutely none. In fact, anytime I take pride in anything that I do, fear grips me and I am afraid that I have become a narcissist.

Yeah. Any thing that even resembles self-esteem gets interpreted by my brain as some form of vanity, and that's not a good thing. That's not how my life should be in. That's not how living should be.

And I know I'm not entirely alone in this. I've talked with quite a few people that. Have similar struggles. With how they interpret. Events that happen around them. And that this lack of self-esteem, of seeing our innate value and worth, is infectious, and it bleeds into every aspect of our lives.

The struggle is compounded this year as:, I don't want to rehash everything that I said in last week's episode. But yeah, this pride is hard and it's such as this pride month. It's the last couple years have been really hard. And it seems to just be getting worse and it seems to be getting harder. And I mean that on so many levels, I mean that professionally, I mean that in my personal life, my health. And just society seems to be crumbling around us in this weird apocalyptic nightmare that we're going through. We're not addressing any of the issues that actually matter, and, instead freaking out over whether or not drag shows should happen. That just feels like something from a bygone era that I thought would be gone by now. But here we are.

In this place where I have a very kind and supportive friend group. I have both friends in the town I live in. Not many, but some. And I've made some very good friends online and we've built a very good community for each other. And we're very supportive and helpful, one for another.

And lately, there's been a part of me that has felt that the support, care, and kindness I get from these friends. Is just pity. It's just them in the kindest way that they know how offering to do things that they know that I am just incapable of doing for myself. That I am just so bad at life and living that they have to do things for me.

And I know that's not the case. This is definitely a me problem. This is the depression that is trying to reassert itself in my life. This is the depression that is trying to take me down again. And so it's trying to frame all of the acts of kindness, of love, and support that are aimed at me into something other than what they are, so that it will have more control over my life. And sometimes, in the grip of it, it is really hard to see that. Sometimes, when it's so viscerally grabbing me, it is really hard to see through it's lies.

Even strangers who make polite comments, my initial reading of them lately has been something condescending, or something bad.

The good thing is that I've learned to see through that. I've learned that this is a tactic that my brain uses when the depression is trying to set in, and truly get a grip over me . And I know that like with everything it will pass .

It is something that comes up and it goes away. It's like the tide. And right now, the tide is rising. Because with all the stress and everything else in my life, it's been triggered. Also recently I had somebody just pass through and, hit all of my PTSD triggers one after another really quickly. All on like a. 10 15 minute time span. And, that jingled up a lot of things that still haven't settled back down. A lot of unprocessed trauma.

And. What I've realized through all of this is that the advice that we're generally given to just let go it's not always the best way through .

It's very hard, sometimes, to see what is right in front of you. We have this misperception that, what we see in the world around us is the actual world around us. And it isn't. It is on a slight delay because there is a delay in the brain between when the optical information hits the brain and when it's processed. Also how that information is gathered leads to distortions. We may or may not see the full color spectrum. We may or may not see the full event. Our eyes are constantly darting around and the brain is interpreting what it's seeing and filling in the gaps. The world that we actually perceive, the world that we see with our eyes, is not necessarily the world outside us. And I don't mean that in kind of some kind of a, spiritual way. I mean that in a quite literal way.

Our assumptions have a lot to do with how we perceive the outside world. And those assumptions are tainted by a lot of different things. Our mood can affect the way we perceive and interpret events. Our physical comfort can also do that. It doesn't help that while I'm going through all this it's moving into summertime, and so there are a lot of fronts going through that are causing all of my muscles, and joints to ache.

But all of those perceptions get mixed together in the brain to produce what we call reality.

And once you come to accept that what you are perceiving is not in fact reality, but your personal interpretation of it, your subjective interpretation of it, then you're getting. Better. At actually interacting with what is real. And that's a whole topic that we could go into on a completely other day, but not right now.

And so where I've come to is going back to this concept of oscillation.

I've made no secret out about how I am a Metamodernist. I am fascinated by a lot of the ideas in metamodern theory. And how it actually describes the world around us, as well as, how we participate and interact with it, and oscillation is one of those things that is so rooted in metamodern thought. And I don't see a lot of people really talking about it. At least not outside of those boutique Metamodern salons, where we gather around in our dark corners and talk in, very long-winded, academic terms.

Oscillation is hopping back and forth. Oscillation is in a lot of ways, what replaces, dialectical thinking, which is what happened in postmodernism. And see there, I did it. It's all these $20 words. Let's try to simplify that just a little. Okay.

A modernist had an ideal, and interpreted the entire world in accordance with that ideal. It is the way the things are. It's how things shall be. That's what we are going to do. We are going to impose our will on to the cosmos. Yeah. That didn't really work out so well.

The post-modern came along and accepted not necessarily Hegelian dialectics cause there are very specific form, but except that the idea of dialectics. So there's this thing on site a there's this thing on site B. And that's our thesis and our antithesis. And what we have to do, if we're going to be all smart, and brilliant, and get to the other side is we're going to figure out the synthesis. What's that thing in the in-between that's going to get us there. And the apex of this kind of dialectical thinking is the triangulation of the Clintons. If the right's over there and the left is over there. Let's pick this point. It's somewhere in between and we'll call that the center. And we should be able to get a little bit of the people from the and a little bit of the people from the left, and that should be enough. And it worked for Bill. Didn't work so well for Al Gore or any of the other Democrats that tried it after. It definitely didn't work that well for Hillary. But that triangulation. Is the basic mode that a lot of postmodern thought has taken. Where we try to take the middle ground, we try to find between the fight between the thesis and the antithesis would try to find that thing that comes out of the middle, between the struggle between the two.

Oscillation is different. Oscillation kind of gets into this whole realm of spectrums and spectra. All the different ways that the world can be seen. And it says that we don't have to take a side. I don't have to decide today with our I'm going to be an idealistic, modern person, or if I'm going to be a sarcastic, ironic post-modern person . I can oscillate between the two.

Now, this doesn't mean that I'm wishy-washy and I just flipped back and forth. It's that I start to see this spectrum between just bleak sincerity and empty irony. And it's like the plus and minus ends of a battery. So I can draw power from it . And the power that I'm drawing will put me on one side or the other, maybe a little bit more this way than that way. It's a field In which I can play. It's a place in which I can find out for this situation right now, am I going to be. Ironic or honest or some mixture in between.

See it's beyond the simple relativity that you had in post-modernity. Where there's no right, there's no wrong. dot.dot. There's really no answer after that. There's just, there's no right. There's no wrong.

But with oscillation, we see both of these poles as sources of power, sources of energy, sources of thought that may inform the situation modes of action that might in fact be the way forward, but instead of having to pick one or the other, instead of being either or, like you would in the modern era, or both, and we would be in, the postmodern era. We find ourselves in this place where it could be both neither, either and. And until you start actually doing this, it may sound confusing. It may sound so paradoxical. And you know what it is, but paradox is a huge part of our lives.

So if I'm here to tell you that my self-doubt and my self esteem are a spectrum that I oscillate between, they're both places that give me power. The problem is I spend most of my time over on the self doubt side. And self-doubt really, isn't a bad thing. Self-doubt helps to keep you from thinking too highly of yourself, from becoming vain and narcissistic, and keeps you from ignoring the problems in what you're saying, doing, working on. There's a healthy kind of self-doubt that we can cultivate within ourselves that isn't self destructive . And it seems true with self-esteem. Self-esteem is not just vanity. It's not just puffery. It's not just thinking highly of yourself. It's valuing what you're doing.

And when you start seeing these is the spectrum that creates this plane. This field on which we play. Yeah. Sometimes it's okay. To say, I know the sentence isn't exactly right. It's not the way it should be. I know that line really isn't where it should be, but. I kind of like the aesthetic. It's okay to do that. It's okay to have so much self-esteem in what we're doing that we just accept it's flaws. And move on. But it's also okay to have a certain amount of self-doubt , and to sit back and go, well, no. I don't think I'm confident enough to say it that way. I don't think I did this exactly the best I could, maybe it should be revised. It should be edited.

But when we talk about oscillation, I love this word. I love this term oscillation cause it reminds us we have to oscillate. We have to go back and forth. We have to play on the field.

It's kind of like if you're playing soccer or football, if you're in the rest of the world that's not the United States, if you're playing football, and you just want to stay on one end of the field. You don't want to actually go out and play.

And I know what you're saying, because you're probably seeing what I say. Right. Well, in this analogy, then you, what you don't understand is I'm the goalie. No, no, no, no. You're not the goalie. You're out on the field. There are times to be a goalie. There are times when we do need to hold our ground quite firmly. When it comes to the spectrum between fascism and anti-fascism, I'm a goalie. I'm on the side of anti-fascism and I am not getting out on that playing field. There's no game to play. My goal is to block fascism every time it tries to score.

So, yeah, sometimes, sometimes, yeah, play the goalie. But in most of the things in our life, we actually need to be out on the field. We actually need to be out there playing. But we convince ourselves way too often that we need to be on one side or the other.

And I'm not arguing for some kind of enlightened centrism here. There are some things that, yes, you should be on a side. Human rights. Yeah, I'm going to block everybody who wants to take away basic human rights. LGBT rights. Feminism. Now feminism still has a plain field because I can see some of the points that most feminists make, but if there not being intersectional, If they're not looking at race and gender identity, sexuality as part of how they're looking at, feminism, if they're not looking at socioeconomic class and all of that, I pretty much play on one side of the field. Like I'm not all the way over in the goal, playing goalie. But I'm not really going to cross midfield cause Intersectionality is important.

And that's the power of oscillation is you start learning where the poles are. You start learning, where is this field of power? Where is this field of energy? Where are the limits.

And so as I'm struggling with my own self doubt, one, I need to learn to see the strength that I can find in it. Very few of our emotions are truly 100% bad . Some are bad. My desire for self-annihilation that it gets some time, that's bad, that's bad. But generalize self-doubt, yeah. I need, some of that, I need to constantly be challenging myself and. Wondering if I could do better in my fiction, in my podcasting, in the way that I deliver a philosophical idea or an artistic one.

I need to be challenging myself all the time on those things.

But it's also a good thing every now and then to go across midfield, cross across that center line, over to the other side and maybe have a little steam.

Maybe, let myself look at something that I've done and be proud of it. And go, yeah, I did that.

But always with that check in my mind of, have I gone too far?

Not so much so that it's controlling or limiting or. Isolating her breaking me down. But. Just enough to keep me from running around thinking that I'm so great and I can do no wrong because. Yeah, none of us are so great that we can do no wrong.

And that's really. What I've been learning lately, is this really intense struggle in me, to always be on just one side, and not to see the other side of the spectrum. Or that there is a spectrum in between this huge playing field that, you know, what might have more than one axis. We may be playing on a two dimensional field where there's also a left and a right, not just a forward and a back. We may be playing on a three-dimensional field where there's also an up and a down. There may be all kinds of intersections that come in to play, where we learn where we need to be at any given time. But it's not ever a fixed point, unless, you're dealing with fascists, or racists, or sexists, or homophobes or transphobes. You know, the general maybe people shouldn't exist for an innate characteristics people. Maybe we should control people because of innate characteristics people. You know the ones. Yeah, no, the people I'm talking about.

And when you start understanding oscillation, when you start understanding this back and forth, this give and take, this playing field that exists before us, it really helps navigate life because you don't have to pick a side all the time. You don't have to be mad that you're on the wrong side or fight to be on the right side. Cause maybe, right now in your life, the site for you to be in somewhere. In between. Maybe you're slowly drifting over to the side that you want to be on. But in most situations, there's actually a large and varied series of options that we hide between simply naming the poles. Simply naming the goals on either side that overly binary thinking that gets us into trouble. All the time.

So, yeah, that's, that's how I'm going to get through this. Yeah, I want to be independent. I think we all want to be independent to a certain degree and those of us who are in indie publishing definitely have a bit of an independent streak. Also, when you have chronic pain, you feel like you're putting people through a lot, just because you can't do things sometimes because of the pain. When you have chronic depression, you also feel like you're. Being a burden to people a lot. And just because people are helping you, and either ways that you find actually helpful or ways that are well-intentioned, but wrong for you. As long as they're well-intentioned, as long as you can have a dialogue with them. As long as you can have that understanding that there actually trying to help. And not just trying to insert themselves in your life cause I think they're better than you. Yeah maybe their support isn't so bad. Maybe them trying to support you is not their way of telling you that they have no faith in you as a human being, or you as an individual. Maybe, you should stop being so self serious. And yeah, I keep saying you, but I'm really the you I;m talking to . I don't know. I might be talking to you too. And if so, Here we need to get over ourselves. .

That's the struggle that I've been having lately, and that's where I've ended up here.

I hope that this has been able to help you in some way. Thank you so much. For your time.

Don't forget to share this with anybody that you think would, like it, or need to get this lesson in their own life.

And until next time, don't forget to have the fun.

This Pride is Difficult

This pride feels different. This Pride isn't like the ones that we've had before, where we were free to party and celebrate and give into the corporate overlords that just want to make money off of us.

This pride, we are under attack.

Welcome to Project: Shadow! I'm excited to announce that my new album, Born in Shadow, is finally out! This album marks the beginning of a lot of new music that I have in store for you. If you've been following my music, you may recognize some tracks on this album, but let me break it down for you.

The first two tracks, Motion and Disharmony in Accord, are blasts from the past from my first album, Manifesto, which was released over 20 years ago. These tracks have been remastered and give you a glimpse into where my music journey started.

The next two tracks on the album are covers of the Ghost songs, He is and Cirice, which were the first tracks I made when I started making music again a couple of years ago.

The rest of the album features remastered versions of the singles I released over the last couple of years, including Finding Joy, Have Mercy, Into the Dream Realm, Salvatrix Mundi, and Don't Want.

I'm thrilled with how this album turned out, and I feel like I'm finally making music the way I want to. If you want to learn more about the album, head over to Project: Shadow!

In this episode of Project: Shadow, we dive into the gay episode of The Last of Us and explore the problematic tropes that it leans into. We examine the harmful effects of these tropes and how they perpetuate harmful stereotypes and stigmas about the LGBTQ+ community.

We start by discussing the first trope, which suggests that all gay people are the same and have the same experiences. This trope is harmful because it erases the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community and reduces individuals to a monolithic group.

The second trope we discuss is queer male body shaming. This trope is harmful because it reinforces the harmful idea that there is only one acceptable way to look as a gay man, and anyone who does not fit that mold is ostracized and ridiculed.

Next, we delve into the third trope, which portrays queer relationships as predatory and domineering. This trope is harmful because it reinforces the idea that same-sex relationships are inherently dysfunctional or abusive, which is not the case.

We then examine the fourth trope, which suggests that death or "un-aliving" can be romantic for queer characters. This trope is harmful because it reinforces the idea that queer love can only exist in the context of tragedy or pain, which is a harmful and limiting representation.

The fifth trope we discuss is "bury your gays," which suggests that queer characters are disposable and can be killed off for shock value. This trope is harmful because it reinforces the idea that LGBTQ+ characters are less valuable than their straight counterparts and perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

Finally, we touch on the issue of tokenism, which is when a character is added to a story solely for the purpose of diversity without giving them any real depth or development. This trope is harmful because it reduces queer characters to a checkbox and fails to give them the same treatment and consideration as other characters.

Throughout the episode, we ask the question: Why did this episode and series get a pass? We explore the various factors that may have contributed to the acceptance of these harmful tropes, and examine the ways in which we can work to be more mindful and inclusive in our media consumption and creation.

Foundation by Isaac Asimov is a classic science fiction book about Psychohistory, a theoretical science that is able to build a predictive model for life in the galaxy which forecasts the fall and rise of empires and the threats that will threaten to send humanity back into a dark age where most knowledge and progress will be lost. The book is dense and philosophical and lacks the visual and character dynamics that are needed to make a movie or a television series.

So, Apple TV+ made it into a series for their streaming series staring Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick, Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, Lee Pace as Brother Day, Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin, Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk, and Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn. How were they able to translate the book into a wonderful series. They understood the narrative and translated it into the new medium with eye-catching visuals and personalizing the stories to powerful character arcs.

First of all I want to apologize for my long absence. This episode explains some of what was going on. Also I want to apologize for the poor audio quality of this episode. I didn't catch that the software switched my microphone after the first minute of recording. I will keep an eye out for that in the future. I didn't re-record the episode because I spoke from my heart and didn't want my words to sound rehearsed or staged.

Things are changing, or at least they feel like they are. This is an interesting time to do world building a contemporary dark fantasy world set on Earth.

What I decided to do

I decided to set the story in the ’90s because of my own nostalgia for the goth subculture of my youth. Also I didn’t want to have to deal with the state of the world as it is now. I don’t know how to process live in the United States right now enough to write a story about it, but that doesn’t mean that current events aren’t changing the ideas going into my story world.

The Outrage is not mine to appropriate

Our job is not to appropriate the anger and outrage of people of color and victims of systemic racism, segregation, or of any population we do not belong to that suffered genocide. We need to adopt a tone of confession and anti-racism. We also need to be careful not to proclaim that our stores offer an absolute or ideal solution to these problems.

How do we write honestly from the POV of our characters without appropriation?

I can’t write a utopia because that wouldn’t serve the story, but I can’t pretend that I have the answer to these problems. What ever am I going to do?

The real question is: how do I develop a “realistic” fantasy setting without either proclaiming that I have found a “perfect” solution or appearing to write anything into the setting that would justify the bias of the characters within the setting?

The answer I came up with is to focus on making sure I am not including racist tropes in my world building that would undercut the stories and the world itself. I know I will not be perfect about this, but it is something we all need to keep a close eye on.

Several good example of what I am talking about come from my beloved Harry Potter books. I am not talking about the author’s current transphobia, but the flawed analogy used in the series.

Seek perfection Knowing you will never find it.

I know I will make mistakes, we all will, but we cannot allow our fear of failure to keep us from working. I understand that there is a big difference between author intent and reader impact, so I am going to do everything in my power to do no harm with my work. Should I mess up, then I need to apologize and fix it in good faith.

I don’t have all the answers

I wish more writers would repeat that over and over to themselves. Our work is about seeking meaning in this world and finding an escape from it. Our job is not to solve the world’s problem but to search, try, and sometimes harrow the souls of our characters and give our readers a worthwhile experience.

All writing is empathy. Don’t be afraid to admit that you don’t know everything. The road to hell may be paved with good intentions, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep a close eye on our intentions and the effect we might have on others.

Fear serves no purpose other than to keep us quiet. Do your best to tell stories worth tell, ever seeking to do no harm with your tales. That is all that can be asked from any of us.

The best part of this new project for me is that it has restored my love for telling stories and writing. I didn’t think I lost my love until I felt it return.

  • How it affected my work?
  • How it got it back?

If I had a penny for every time I have been told that I am limiting my audience by writing so many Queer characters, I would be rich. I have been called out in my hometown as a race traitor for having non-white characters characters in my books…

I am not trying to pat my self on the back or show my bona fides on these issues, but to explain that world is full of people trapped in their own minds.

All I want is for people learn to ask themselves how much you engage with protagonists that are different from you. If you are a part of any minority, that answer is probably either “all the time” or “way too much.” If you are a cis gender, heterosexual, white male, would you answer the same way?

Too many voices in fandom and society speak out anytime representation happens. No, they don’t represent the majority opinion and they are outliers, but the problem is, large and small media companies cave in to them all too often.

Diversity in fiction allows more people to see and empathize with people from different backgrounds, and in so doing, we learn to empathize with everyone as human. That is what these people don’t want to have happen.

They believe that division is power. They are wrong. Unity is power. Diversity is power. It is where our real strength resides.

The biggest lie that threatens our world is that left behind king and queens when we became democratic societies. We didn’t, we simply changed the way we named people part of the ruling class.

In a democracy, we believe that the power belongs to the people. When well organized, this is true. Unfortunately, we have constructed an idea that we should elect “leaders” and then follow them. Nothing could be less democratic.

A representative at best should be a Vox Populi, or voice of the people they represent. They are meant to follow their constituents not the other way around.

When we examine real movements like the ones that are happening right now such as the Black Lives Matter protests for George Floyd, we are watching the entitled ruling class bristling at the mere suggestion that they should listen to much less follow the will of the people or even work for the people.

We have to learn to see the through these ideas and start seeing people as coordinators, mediators, and organizers, and abandon the language of leaders and leadership. It does more harm than good.

If you are working on your world building or wondering why your work feels unoriginal, then the problem isn’t really with your story, it is with your world building or lack thereof.

Janet at World Anvil has made a great video about this (here), and they have example pages (here and here).

Let’s talk about this starting point in world building.

Whether it is the experience of People of Color, Women, or the Queer community, too many people refuse to believe stories from lives so different from our own. Why?

We mistakenly believe that we see the world as it is, or understand how the world works. We don’t. We tell ourselves stories. Every new piece of information we get, every new story we encounter, we both compare to our existing narrative and weave it in, but that weaving is the problem.

Other people’s stories are shaped and altered by the stories we already tell our self in order to fit them in. We have predefined shapes for those stories to take and will find a way to justify changing those stories so they work with our own meta narrative. So we don’t see the truth right before our eyes.

Until we are honest about this process, we will continue to reject stories different from our own until something happens so horrible it makes us question our own stories. The solution is simple. Always question the way you see the world and be proud to grow and change as your understanding of the world develops and changes.

With everything going on in this country, the idea of diversity has become a buzzword, and I am afraid it is a momentary meme and not something we are dedicated to.

Some have finally had their eyes opened by the murder of George Floyd, but we can’t let this be the cause of the moment that we forget when the protests die down.

Black Lives Matter.

Diversity is not or at least should not be virtue signaling.

We have to fundamentally change or all of this is for nothing.

Gene Roddenberry said:

“If humanity is to survive, we will have learned to take delight in the essential differences between people and between cultures. We will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.”

That is how IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination) starts, but that is not the end of it.

IDIC means that our strength comes from our diversity and how we come together to make the world better for everyone.

While I am not ready to make an announcement yet, I would like to talk to you about having the courage to dare to dream and reach forward, even in such uncertain times. In some ways, this is as much a pep talk for me as it is for you. Our capacity to dream of a future we want to see is vital for us to actually build that better future for ourselves and others. Will I succeed on my insane quest?

Nothing in that title is a surprise to anyone who has already seen this movie.

As has become my customary talking point about this series, there isn’t a lot to say without diving deep into spoilers. Broken Pieces was one of the most powerful episodes of the series so far, focusing on the internal drama not only between the characters, but within them as well. Rios is finally a full character in his own right and Jurati is on here way there. It did this without sacrificing the action of the story. One thing happened that is a big spoiler that will or at least should have a bigger impact on the story than anything that has happened so far.

I don’t usually talk about events in the news. I feel like a lot of you listen to this show for information and an escape from your day to day life, but with everything going on with COVID-19, I feel like we need to talk about it. Don’t worry, I am not going to dig into stats and numbers that will surely change by the time you listen to this episode.

The project that I have not nicknamed yet hit a development wall and I couldn’t figure out why… Then I realized that I forgot to add the Gothic elements I love to include in my work… It’s like making a loaf of bread without yeast.

I could talk a lot about the events of this season 2 of Altered Carbon, and I will if you want, but the most powerful element of this season is the question of who and what we are and what is the place and power of memory in that. From the beginning of the series, the show has posited the world that identity is the sum total of a person’s memories and experiences. This season asks the question of is there an intrinsic quality that makes someone who and what they are and if so what is is.

We spend too much time worrying about how other people perceive us and what they think about us. Real life is boring and dull the vast majority of the time and we expend way to much effort projecting our lives as interesting and fun. It sell a fantasy, and as a (please forgive the slur) content creator, there is an overwhelming pressure to seem better and more interesting than we really are. None of that is new or novel, and yes, the solution to this is to just be yourself and stop caring about what other people think. That solution doesn’t work for people who make their living growing a community and relying on others to participate in some transaction so they can make a living. The real solution to this is to realize that the pressure isn’t on the creator to perform like a circus animal. Yes, be yourself, but don’t try to sell yourself as something you are not. If you travel a lot, share your travels, but don’t feel the need to do that if it is counter to who you are. We all have thoughts and opinions, cares and concerns. Add to that your goals and ambition, then you will find the persona you want to share with the world and others. The enemy of creativity is conformity. Be boring. Do the things you need to do to chase your dreams, but never give in to the desire to conform to the expectations of others.

Ghost, as a band, have a magical ability to not only entertain with their music, but to capture the imagination of their fans who spend hours discussing the iconography of their covers, videos, and the meaning and world of their lyrics.  Recently, the revealed the ascension of Cardinal Copia to the position of Papa Emeritus IV live in concert at the final show on the Prequelle tour. We got to see the death of Papa Emeritus Nihil during the saxophone solo in Miasma and the Sisters of Sin elevating Cardinal Copia his new position. Through their participation in the quasi-structured extended universe beyond the music itself, they have created a playful meta verse for fans to play within. In reality, nothing changed. Tobias Forge was Cardinal Copia and every Papa who came before and will be Papa Emeritus IV, but the context of the new album has changed. Let’s discuss this on the show.

Finally, a singularly great episode of Star Trek: Picard. For the first time in this series, everything worked together to craft a beautiful episode that forwarded the plot, distilled the theme, and made the characters live as themselves in a way that didn’t reveal the hand of the author to the extent of the previous episodes. Nepenthe was a moment of crystallization that re-contextualized most of the previous series and focused the story toward its eventually climax, but this episode did so much more than just bring life to the story. Star Trek: Picard is tell us a story that we rarely get to see. It is a story about how we deal with regret and learn to reconnect with the world that we cut ourself off from. As someone who’s done that, I see a lot more of myself in this story. What makes this series work is that it is showing a path to healing for those who have taken this dark path, and a warning for those who haven’t.

My concept of the Designing Principle comes from John Truby’s Anatomy of a Story: “The designing principle is what organizes the story as a whole. It is the internal logic of the story, what makes the parts hang together organically so that the story becomes greater than the sum of its parts. It is what makes the story original.” John Truby. The Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller (p. 25) As I know that the book I am working on is the first book in at least a trilogy, if not a larger series, taking the time to find the designing principle that will not only hold this book together, but the entire series so an unknown quantity of books will all hold together even if it goes beyond the initial concept is hard. What I have learned is that this is the heart of the series that I have talked about so much on the podcast in the past. Let’s explore this idea together.

Hunters on Amazon Prime is not the show it was advertised as. The trailers made it look like a Quentin Tarantino style revenge fantasy focused on Nazis in America. While there is some of that, the show itself is more of a deep meditation on what should happen with people that are willing to devalue human life to the point of genocide, but it also looks at topics of petty revenge from various angles as well. Through the dialogue, it is clear that this show wants to be a conversation of what makes a hero and how do we obtain justice when the system fails us.  All of those are interesting questions, but the show is far more interested in its own cleverness than it is at answering those questions. The two major twists that take place in the story don’t add much of anything and detract from the show overall. One is so obvious that it shouldn’t count as a twist, and the other The other comes out of no where and re-contexts earlier reveals into hollow, heavy handed foreshadowing that guts the heart of the story. The complexity of this series make it worth talking about, but I am not sure it deserves a second season.

Dragon Quest: Your Story is a 3D animated retelling of the story of Dragon Quest V, but it is so much more than that. Without going into spoilers, which I will in the episode itself, this movie is a mediation on the place that content, particularly video games, have in our lives. I am not sure that the method they use to discuss this theme works, it does a good job not only capturing the feel of fandom, but also the current state of internet fandom itself. This movie is a bold experiment, not only in how to retell a video game story, but in how to have a meta conversation about the topic at hand. In many ways, I think the Lego Movie did a better job addressing some of the same themes and ideas, but it comes at the topic from a very different point of view.  In all, it was a good movie with an interesting message. I wish more people would take risks at this scale with stories that have this much resonance within the target market. With so many films feeling like remakes and formula fare, this film takes a wild swing that may or may not have worked for you, but I have to admire the bravery to try something this different when they could have phoned it in for a more guaranteed success.

On episode 6 of 10 of Star Trek: Picard, we finally have the band together with the heroes and the villains established until the inevitable twist when we learn that we were all wrong the whole time and Soji is the real villain… I hope it doesn’t go there, but I see the signs that they have set up a “The Romulan were right the whole time” twist in the finale. I am more convinced than ever that this series is going to be about who created V’ger and why they have been in hiding all this time. I am also expecting it to explain where the Borg came from, because that is a story no one asked for. Having said all that, I loved this episode. The most difficult part of this episode is how many choices it made that I don’t like, but the acting and story was so enthralling, I am still willing to go along with it. I am just afraid that at some point the spell will break and the magic will fade. I don’t have faith in the writers have an interesting end game because they keep choosing the most obvious plot point at each step along the way. I want to be wrong. I want to keep loving this show.

When we are working on a project we have to be honest in each stage of the project.  Stage 1: Be fascinated in development. When you are figuring out what the project is, follow your fascinations and test as many possibilities the story could take and trim off everything that doesn’t make you want to know more or find out what happened next. Stage 2: Fall in love in drafting. It is so important for us to turn off the analytical and judgmental aspects of our personality and have fun. Stage 3: Be ruthless in revision. Turn that judgmental, analytical beast back on and beat the work into shape.

Queer people and characters have had to do something that most cis, heterosexual people haven’t, questioned who they are and why they are who they are. This isn’t a knock against cis, heterosexual people, it is just a fact that when you are the same as the default presentation of people in your society, you don’t have to ask yourself any deep questions about your identity. While not all LGBTQIA+ stories are about this kind of soul searching, this aspect of the character’s background will affect who they are, how they act and interact with others, and the decisions they make. It is also important for people to learn to see themselves in the lives of people different from them. Let’s discuss on today’s Project: Shadow.

Dragons, unicorns, tropes, and nostalgia are placebos for connection, but they are no substitute for the real thing. They are signposts of the type of story being told and flares to attract attention. Once they have done their job, there has to be something else to retain that attention and connection. Some try to substitute trauma and pain for the various elements that would actually connect people to the work, the characters, and the setting.

With the events of Star Trek Picard: Star City Rag, it is clear that the series wants to be as different from the series that preceded it as possible to the point where it no longer looks classic Star Trek, which is obviously a thing of the past. Gene Roddenberry and many others who worked on and guided previous series wrote a lot about how the problems that center in the stories need to be universal. If they were transferred to any other genre, the story should be able to happen with minimal changes. Star Trek Picard has rejected this to the point of parody with its focus on Borg technology and Artificial Intelligence is moving it farther away from relatability as the show could be. I have a lot to say about this episode, but I can’t without spoilers, so join me on today’s Project: Shadow.

As a result of the current state of fandom, we need to unite against the fury infecting our community. Fans must never attempt to police the enjoyment of others. If someone loves what we love, celebrate with them. If someone loves something we don’t, let them be. No one has a right to tell others how to feel about any book, movie, album, or artist. We shouldn’t have to defend others, but we cannot tolerate this hate among our own. Fandom should celebrate what we love, and never tear down what others love. Build each other up, and always have the fun.
