COVERED IN THIS EPI: In the first part of this highly-anticipated episode, Steph and Ava break down one of Fandomtastic’s favorite characters: Lucien Vanserra. Although maybe not as controversial as his big, bad brother, people certainly have a LOT of feelings regarding Lucien - and so did we!

In This Episode You Can Expect:

Mating-bond musings
Which band is the most moody: Panic! At the Disco, My Chemical Romance, or the Band of Exiles?
This photo
A breakdown of Tamlin’s ‘tude

Show notes

COVERED IN THIS EPI: Steph and I [Ava] finish up our Crescent City chat in part 2 of SUGAR, SPICE, AND EVERYTHING BRYCE. We hope you've been enjoying the Crescent City read along, and let us know in the comments if there are any topics we missed that you want us to chat about! [Side note, there may be some mini cameos from the one and only Ernie, who decided to growl throughout our recording]

In this episode you'll hear us chat about:

A lite-emo phase featuring Ava's cringey teenage angst years
Steph's flat-egg (oval) keychain Tamagotchis
Pestering "Mom" aka Sarah (she didn't agree to this phrasing LOL) about the categorization of otters; "This is a random question, but a wine debate"

SPOILER ALERT: THIS EPISODE HAS UNMARKED SPOILERS FOR THE ‘A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES’ SERIES (including ACOSF)!

Thank you to everyone for listening; we appreciate your patronage so much! And remember, don't let the hard days win!

Sugar, Spice, and Everything Bryce Part 1 Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

COVERED IN THIS EPI: Steph & Ava theorize all things Crescent City, including ships, POV characters, Asteri-Theory, and more! As we wind down the Crescent City read along, we hope you've enjoyed HOUSE OF EARTH AND BLOOD, whether you're a veteran or a virgin to its intensity ;) As a side note, we did have to chop this episode into two parts, and you can expect to see Ruhn-inantions, thoughts! about the Asteri, and our sexually ambivalent ships! Stay tuned for the second part, which will air next week!

What You Can Expect:

Swamp Sharks
Biker Gangs (Motorcycle or Bicycle...you'll just have to listen to find out)
Dolphin Demons IRL
Quinlar! Supremacy!

Some ContentWarnings: There are 1000% spoilers for CRESCENT CITY; if you aren't quite caught up, I recommend saving this episode for later :) There are mild spoilers for the A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES series in this episode, and at timestamp 34:46-34:56, there is a brief mention of r*pe, so please keep that in mind if this is a trigger word for you! (The conversation is not about r*pe, it's about dolphins, but the word does come up - did y'all know that dolphins are assholes?!)

A Court of TV Adaptations Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

COVERED IN THIS EPI: Steph & Ava chat about the recent announcement that A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES is going to be co-adapted for television by Sarah J Maas herself and Outlander’s Ron Moore. We should warn you in advance - there may be some high-pitched excitement. Gird your loins, we’re getting IRL High Lords.

What You Can Expect:

A quick warning: Steph & I were both enjoying "coffee jitters" so if you hear some ~funky sounds~ it's just us knocking against our respective tables
High Lady or Disney Princess?
A run-down of what we know so far
Narrative predictions (start your prayer circles - we want the Inner Circle in Season 1)

Thank you to all of our listeners - we’re so glad to be able to chat about these books with you, and hope you’re enjoying these episodes! In case you want further information about the ACOTAR TV series, we’ve compiled some articles for you here, here, and here.

The Eristocracy Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

COVERED IN THIS EPI: This episode tackles the one-and-only Eris Vanserra. High Lord Beron’s eldest son, Eris became one of the most-talked about figures in the fandom post-ACOSF; so obviously we had to join in. And not just because we think he rocks the sexy kinda-villainous look - but we’d be lying if we said that wasn’t part of the appeal.

Hear us talk about:

Daddy issues (times deux)
A Mysterious Mating Bond
Cassian Spills the Tea on Autumn Court Males
Is Eris a DILF? Yes, no, maybe so?

SPOILER ALERT: THIS EPISODE HAS SPOILERS FOR ‘A COURT OF SILVER FLAMES’ AS WELL AS MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE ‘THRONE OF GLASS’ SERIES. We do not mark these moments during the actual podcast, so listen at your discretion! As always, thank you all for listening!

We Are Maastastic Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

COVERED IN THIS EPI: Steph & Ava say “Heyyyyyyy,” introduce our listeners to the podcast, and do a meet-and-greet that would make a corporate HR rep proud! Welcome to Maastastic, we’re glad you’re here, and don’t forget: Don’t let the Hard Days Win.

What You Can Expect:

“Uh...what?”
How Steph Met Sarah (2015-present)
God-Tier Tropes
A PSA About Smut
“Ship Shit”
Book Recommendations Galore

Thank you to all of our listeners - we’re so excited to share this podcast with you, we’re grateful for all of your support, and we are absolutely thrilled to be talking about the important things in life: books, banter, and ~steamy scenes~
