The Black Tapes & TANIS

Nic is totally 100% a disaster and I love him. Also I want MK to bop him over the head.



........also I am terrible and I totally ship Strand and Alex in this ridiculous all-quadrants-w-heavy-spades clusterfuck. *hides under the couch and hyperventilates about Strand's incredible voice*

 

I'm getting spoiled a bit going through this thread (and probably should just Walk Away right now....) but it's inspired me to listen to these!

 

i think the worst of it is under spoiler quotes, so you should be fine

 

on the one hand, oops, sorry

but on the other, im curious if you were actually spoiled super hard or if it just SEEMED like it, since thats a thing with these dang podcasts

 

I looked at a few spoilers, but as soon as I realized that I was interested in listening, I stopped. Pretty sure I didn't get past the first page, so probably relative little spoilage.

 

How are you enjoying it so far?

 

"It was half animal and half bird" Nic,

 

Spoiler: Black Tapes s2 finale spoilers

GOOD JOB EXPOSING ALL YOUR LISTENERS TO *ANOTHER* MYSTERIOUS CURSED DEATH SOUND, ALEX

 

Spoiler: screaming

WE'RE ALL SCREWED

 

I'm not even superstitious (especially about stuff written in fiction), it's just that .. within the fiction... Alex you fucked up

 

yes exactly thank you. i meant as fans - like. this is going to get Really Bad Really Fast and we're going to have to listen to it all happen

 

geoff. Geoff. stop bugging mk

 

im like 3 episodes into TANIS and so far i love meerkatnip. so much. fave.

 

Just gonna jump in here and say I think that TANIS is better because it's subtler and understands "cosmic horror" or at least like horror where it's an uncaring monster behind it all. I mean TANIS (the thing) isn't a monster but it acts like one. Also any story where you've got black magic, LSD, and the Dark Web involved is sure to be an absolutely wild ride.

 

Well, Nic's

Spoiler

empty, vaguely pleading hypnosis!voice was a little unsettling. (Also it turns out I'm more easily frightened when I'm alone in my badly-lit dorm room, lol.)

 

i love meerkatnip.. she is so sensible.

 

i CANNOT BELIEVE nic is thinking of going into the stupid spooky woods AGAIN

 

nic, probably: THIS HAS WORKED WELL BEFORE

 

nic: IT'S COOL IF I BRING MY RECORDER WITH ME INTO THIS TECHNOLOGY FREE AREA RIGHT
