Liz takes us down memory lane as she "mournfully" tells about her old job. And before you ask, the salt is actually in aisle 3 at The Small Grocery Store Chain (tm). Gabs follows Liz to the aisle and pours it over her least favorite character's head.

Gabs and Liz invite you to join their book club, where they present hot takes on love and accents. Gabs and Liz invite you to join their book club, where they present hot takes on love and accents. Gabs and Liz invite yo-- wait, didn't we already say this?!

Liz and Gabs finally broach what you've all been waiting for! They bring along a friend (special guest @OriginallyJaden) to introduce the amazing and slightly horrifying world of Omegaverse to you all, a fictional society AU where your life depends on if you're a designated top or bottom! The trio also attempts a quiz that assigns them a dynamic, and you'll actually be shocked by the results!

Liz reminds us that we shouldn't trust Cassandra Clare as she takes us on a deep-dive of the REAL Draco Malfoy. Liz also ships herself with Fanon! Draco ("I do!!! And what of it!!!"). Gabs gets squicked out once again with her horrible luck. You can help counteract the harm that J.K.

Liz finally has the opportunity to SPEAK (both hosts manage to hold Twilight talk until the end)! What was your zombie universe hyperfixation? Ours bordered on pornographic! Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear about an upcoming special!

Gabs and Liz quickly realize that they should maybe have made a Twilight podcast instead. The two spend so long analyzing 50 Shades that they might just have to cut the episode in two!

Liz enlightens us with a GOOD maze runner fic *finally*! Gabs reminds us why a lot of people hate the Supernatural fandom. WAIT-- DID LIZ JUST SAY SHE'D FUCK HER CAR????

Gabs takes us on a shopping trip to a very popular Swedish furniture store-- wait!!!!! What's going on, Mom? Who are these five strange hot men claiming that you sold me?! Liz continues her lucky streak and gets assigned another trope from her favorite series. You know the one ;)

Liz tells us the (semi-)true story of how the Phineas and Ferb cast fell in love with KPop (and each other). Gabs and Liz explain that creating a demon name is easy-- just pronounce the name as though you are Moira Schitt.

Gabs takes us through a tour of her 14 year-old brain. Did someone say Attack on Titan during 2013? Liz gets lucky AGAIN! She tells us about her undying love for Anakin, who Gabs has decided speaks like a TikTok EBoy.

Liz throws a 2013-style punk edit on the podcast! Think big eyeliner, sleeve tattoos, and ear gages galore. And flower crowns for some reason????? Gabs takes the surprises up another notch and makes Liz look at tentacle porn from the 1800's!

Gabs brings us back to og tumblr with some classic text fic. Liz struggles saying words that are remotely sexual yet continues to insist we talk about more nsfw content. Also monster fucking. 

Liz informs us that the true meaning of Christmas is reading Christmas fanfics year-round. Gabs tries to stay awake to convince Liz to watch Once Upon a Time because Captain Hook is very hot now!!!

OK, hear me out: what if we took all these characters and put them in a band? Gabs agrees! Liz doesn't care as long as she gets to talk about FinnPoe. SURPRISE! We have a guest-- The spirit of Gabs' Senior Project advisor.

How edgy are you? Gabs talks about victimizing yourself because of unrequited love and Liz talks about messed up watching Hannibal made her. 

Liz talks about everyone's fantasy of living the royal dream. Arranged marriage and high society drama, oh my! Gabs gets to relive high school trauma. Yay, everyone's happy (except Gabs)!

Liz runs a time machine back to 2013 Tumblr-- Did you just order a Sterek Coffee Shop AU fic? In the good year 2021? Gabs FINALLY gets to bring up Miraculous Ladybug, because she *miraculously* got randomly assigned Kwami Swap.

Gabs and Liz cover two of the most basic bitch tropes they can. Who doesn't love a good classic? Strap in and strap on for a straightforward episode!

Liz finally gets to talk about her favorite trope, with Stucky coming back to haunt us once more. Gabs makes a convincing argument why the government should create cat boys. TikTok seems to agree with her!

The buttered bread fandom will rise!!!! Gabs tells us about her fandom youth (which explains a lot). Liz gets lucky with her randomly assigned trope and gets to tell us about her current favorite fandom!

Liz and Gabs begin their deep dive into the world of Fanfic tropes, starting with Fake Dating and Dystopian AUs. So, basically... The plot of Hunger Games. Liz starts us off with Stucky (of course,) and Gabs brings us into the mind of a 12 year-old One Direction fan. Oh yeah, and Snape dies. You can help counteract the harm that J.K.

Gabs reminds us how much she loves Miraculous Ladybug (despite yet having to read a fic from it on the show). Liz tells us why Twilight is actually the most anti-feminist literature in existence (despite being a self-proclaimed Twihard). You can help counteract the harm that S.
