You know what. If the mechs gets to be Jon’s uni band, RQG is a podcast that Elias Bouchard (Ben Meredith), Melanie King (Lydia Nicholas), Martin Blackwood (Alexander J Newall), Melanie’s Therapist (Helen Gould), the random MAG 100 dude that was a conspiracy theorist (James Ross), and the other MAG 100 guy who got sent to the lonely (Bryn Monroe) played together before TMA canon

I don’t care that the ages don’t line up, i need this in my soul /lh

I LOVE a good Lydia Nicholas character. An ex youtuber who’s trying really hard to kill her boss? A non binary, many times divorced mad scientist? A young woman who’s trying to escape her crime lord uncle and consistently rolls above 30s by level 5? An alien who’s trying really really hard to convince everybody that she’s a human, and works for alien buzzfeed? Literally never misses.

#also listen to her TEDtalk it’s fascinating #Melanie king #TMA #Rusty quill #the Magnus archives #Sasha Rackett #Rusty Quill Gaming #RQG #cel sidebottom #c&mv #chapter and multiverse #mini smithson #Lydia Nicholas

Overly Specific Typecasting in podcasting/adjacent (compilation)

- Jessica Law as sentient inanimate objects that enjoy violence, putting on shows, and stealing vocal chords from living people they have murdered

- Lydia Nicholas as woman with too many knives and not enough social skills

- Alistair Stuart as Ship Dude

- Tim Ledsam having a bad time in tunnels

- and. I cannot get over this. Jonathan Sims as tortured academics named Jo(h)n recording the horrors they uncover into an audio format

And here we are! My Rusty Quill Gaming crochet blanket. It was made for the fanzine titled Look Out! Lots of Magnificent Gifts by The Ones Who Got Away ( @towga ). And I couldn't have done it without the incredible help of my friends @sugar-peanut-cat, who crocheted a significant portion of the squares, @mori-stuff who helped me find good quotes to use and made sure they were well and truly accurate to the source, and of course @apolloborealis who ignited my excitement for this blanket, helped me with choosing colours for the over 200 episodes, and last but not least made the center square with the highly impressive embroidery of the Rusty Quill Gaming logo. Thanks folks!!!

Early progress pics

Late progress pics

ID: a 20 squares wide and 23 squares long solid granny square crochet blanket based on Rusty Quill Gaming. Diagonals alternate between being multi coloured with quotes on the squares (representing all 218 main campaign episodes as well as the Ancient Rome sidequest, ordered from left to right, top to bottom), and being solidly white, grey or black (alternating by diagonal between those three). In the center is a four by four sized black square with the Rusty Quill Gaming logo embroidered on it. Blue veins run across the blanket, increasing in density near the bottom and especially the bottom right corner. There are noticably more quotes filled in near the top than near the bottom. End ID

ID: two close ups of five by three squares. The first shows the top left corner of the blanket, the visible episode squares are:

1 - We start in the skies above London

2 - Bertie! Wellington!

3 - Go make more of yourself

11 - He's happy enough

12 - Keeeesh (which is an alternate spelling of quiche)

21 - If we die, it's on us

22 - Maybe he just forgot to breathe

23 - Does anyone speak morse?

The second shows the top right corner, with episode squares:

9 - I cast prestidigitation

10 - A friendly Other London hello

18 - I shall make a cringe roll

19 - You cannot give a skeleton scurvy

20 - I'm gonna make another cringe check

29 - Single Female Lawyer

30 - Sacrifice of the self. End ID

ID: the first is a close up of episode 179, a lavender square with three overlapping quotes. Where the words of the quotes overlap, they are embroidered with both or all colours. The quotes are:

It's good to have you here. (In black)

Okay, good. (In pink)

Good to have you back. (In white)

The second shows three by three squares, with in the center episode 181, which is the same deep blue as the veins and reads: It's okay to hope. From it, blue veins spread in all directions. To the top left is a purple and pink square without a quote, episode 171. To the top right is 172 - See you on the other side. End ID

ID: a four by four square consisting of black squares. On this the Rusty Quill Gaming logo is embroidered. A beige banner with the text Rusty hangs over a gear with the text Quill. Beneath it in a bright red semi attached font, with a fancy starting letter id the text Gaming. Behind the gear, to the left stands a grey microphone with red sound lines coming off it. A grey quill stands diagonally in the center back, with the tip resting within the G from Gaming, and the other end of the feather partially covering and ending above a red twenty sided die without numbers. End ID

ID: image one is a three by three grid with a fair amount of blue veins. The quotes are:

168 - Alexander Jalexander Nalexander

178 - What did they choose? (In white) Wrong. (In black)

187 - My turn.

Image two is a closeup of episode 50, a yellow square with an aqua outline reading: Sometimes you have to try. End ID

ID: the three by three squares in the bottom right corner of the blanket. The blue veins are coming in dense from up and left, and converge on the edge of the final episode square and final blank square. The blue veins are not able to break this border. The final episode (218) reads: There's always hope. To the top right of this episode is 208, which reads: Almost lost ya. End ID

There was such a wonderful amount of silliness that happened out of character during the Mothership special that I just had to capture it in its own post. Hopefully it's not too much of a munge.

Some interesting thoughts about Rusty Quill gaming characters.

All three who went on the boat in Dover went on to have their own happy endings. Zolf went on to have his life with Oscar. Hamid became a mediator/politician. And Sasha went on to found the Harlequins in Ancient Rome. Each took a leap of faith in joining Zolf during his own personal test, and each were rewarded in kind for their devotion to the betterment of the world. Bertie on the other hand took his own path and did not receive any happy ending.

Grizzop saving Sasha in Ancient Rome was also a similar test of faith as he embodied the will of his patron Artemis. He did what he could with the time he had and chose to sacrifice himself for Sasha. It’s worth noting that he had faith in a god, and an afterlife to progress towards throughout his life, Sasha didn’t and probably wouldn’t receive a mostly favorable outcome if she died. So Grizzop gave her the final gift he could, Time. Time to live out her life on her own terms and have a future, while giving her time to figure out her own path.
