So I finally listened to Slowly Unspooling (@slowly-unspooling) up to the latest episode

I would definitely go full conspiracy board if my brain wasn't all fogged up lol

So I'll just try to make a to-do list of what I want to look into here :

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

- any service / thing / whatever that 70% of the irl world population is susceptible to have access to

- relisten to the first episodes for more clues about the company

- Tape Kai knowing about the other Kai??? Why?

- make 2 timelines taking into account every time one of the Kais is confused about the amount of time that has passed

- searching symptoms of derealization/depersonalization, or anything that might have been up with Kai

- is the story about the Anna and Eva based on a real creepypasta?

#slowlyunspooling #arles rambles #slowlyunspooling spoilers #slowlyunspooling ep8 #could it be shortened to sus?#just kidding #unless?#anyways time to sleep

Happy Pride 2023!

As we get into Pride month, it’s important to celebrate and recognize the unique voices of queer creators, especially in genres that have traditionally been exceptionally lacking in good representation, such as horror.

Aspen Rayne, the creator and writer of Slowly Unspooling, as well as the entire cast and crew, are members of the queer community and are honored to collaborate and bring their individual experiences and perspectives together to create something twisted, surreal, and above all, authentically terrifying.

Slowly Unspooling is an upcoming horror podcast centering around the journey of Kai, a nonbinary acearo radio host and podcaster, as they search for answers regarding strange cassette tapes that have begun showing up filled with alarming recordings– recordings of their voice that they have no memory of making.

Whoever, or whatever, is sending the tapes, only one thing is certain: the person in the recordings is in trouble, and Kai will do whatever it takes to unravel the mystery and make sure that they and the people they love are safe.

Make sure to stick around and meet the rest of the characters as they join Kai in traversing the nightmare unfurling around them, and keep in mind that things are rarely, if ever, as they seem.

Hi Everyone!

Hey there! I'm Aspen(it/he) and I am the writer, director and an actor in Slowly Unspooling and it is my brain child. I'm thrilled to enter the world of podcasting. With over a decade of writing experience under my belt, I'm excited to expand my creative endeavors and bring my work to a whole new medium.

As an agender trans masc individual, I love to explore the diverse experiences within the LGBTQ+ spectrum. By sharing my own journey and experiences, I hope to foster a sense of connection and representation for others.

In addition to my identity as trans masc, I also identify as aromantic. This aspect of my identity informs my writing and allows me to explore different facets of relationships, love, and connection.

Some of the best comments I have ever gotten on my work were about how something I wrote was the first time someone felt seen or understood in media. So a part of me has gone into each character just so others known they are seen.

When I’m not interacting with a variety of podcasts and writing, you’ll often find me cuddling my cat Jonah or tending to my many many plants. I am also an avid d&d player.
