ACOFAE: A Collection of Fandoms and Exploration.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: And I Darken by Kiersten White: "Souls and thrones are irreconcilable." History huh? What happens to Laura Marie and Jessica Marie when they both go into a book blind and only one of them has a background in the subject matter? What's that thing that happens when you assume again? ACOFAE is diving into And I Darken and come out the other side with a better knowledge about themselves and history. Truly bless wikipedia. Lada is our Female MC and she is one for the ages. Frothing with daddy issues and a love for her country, Lada takes us on a journey of the Ottoman Empire religiously and geographically and even personally through her relationship with Mehmet. Family ties, duty to the empire, duty to religion, and honoring your true self are the order of the day and it takes everything from everyone to follow them.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: So Let Them Burn: "Dragons, dragon school, dragon ROBOTS!" In a weird little coincidence, ACOFAE has read a few robot books in a row and they've all been pretty awesome. So imagine the surprise when Laura Marie and Jessica Marie discovered that not only were there dragons in this book, but there are also pilots who operate dragon robots! The joy was intense to say the least. Then throw in sisters, one of which can talk to the gods?! ACOFAE was all in. The war is over and peace reigns supreme. Or does it. The gods allow a girl to continue to use their power with no consequences. Or do they? Old enemies slowly becoming the best of friends? Or do they?! No really, there's all this plus dragon school classes, worldwide politics, and someone sinister underneath it all. Something for everyone!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: DMATMOOBIL: "Stop listening to us and go read this!" Happy Birthday Draco! ACOFAE is thrilled to celebrate their favorite Slytherin by covering the best Romantic Comedy ever written. No really. It is the best. Hermione is on the verge of a breakthrough that could change the lives for a huge portion of the magical population and Draco is the lazy but deadly Auror assigned to protect her. What follows is a series of adventures where bums are admired, nuns are cursed, and of course our favorites fall in love. DMATMOOBIL is a delicious romp that takes us to Hogwarts, Malfoy Manner and The Savoy as well as far flung locations across the globe and even Cambridge. Join ACOFAE as they try and fail to not kick their feet and giggle at the story that makes you laugh out loud say "awww" almost constantly. There's nothing wrong with a little joy.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Five Broken Blades: "They're always standing on business." It has been a long while since ACOFAE read a heist book! Imagine Laura Marie's surprise when she went in blind and discovered a heist! Imagine Jessica Marie's surprise when she went in and found 6 POV's! Imagine the collective surprise when ACOFAE discovered that not only did they enjoy the book, but they were having FUN! Mai Corland's new release Five Broken Blades has it all: court politics, crime, a princess in disguise, love stories, and action! The action is what keeps you on the edge of your seat as the chapters get shorter and the plot thickens until we ultimately discover who was at the center of the scheme. Neither Laura Marie or Jessica Marie saw THE THING coming which was delightful on all fronts. Oh and there's a poison maiden. You know ACOFAE loves that. TW / CW: according to the author, the book itself contains violence, blood, death (including death of parents, children, incarcerated people and animals), poisoning, substance abuse, alcohol, sexual activity, animal abuse, gender-based violence, sex work, suicidal ideation, and indentured servitude are depicted.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Phoenix King: "Then die." You know how Laura Marie loves it when 'the thing" in a story happens? WELL buckle up because all the things are happening in Aparna Verma's The Phoenix King, previously The Boy with Fire. Politics, plot twists, religious fervor, and a red herring that took ACOFAE by surprise, The Phoenix King is a rich tapestry of new and old traditions. Technology and tradition are woven together to create a world where the gods might exist, magic might exist, but power and vengeance DO exist no question. When the old king bends to tradition and his daughter is set to take the throne, old enemies and old gods use the opportunity to make themselves known and cause the ultimate chaos. Filled with a ruthless heroine, mythical creatures, and a love story that is very sweet, The Phoenix King swept ACOFAE away.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Prisoner's Throne: Welcome back to Elfhame, things are a bit wild at the moment. Oak is in prison and The High King and Queen are going to do something about it in 3 days. 3 days Oak! Get it together! Jumping off right from where the The Stolen Heir ended, The Prisoner's Throne gives the reader exactly what they (ACOFAE!) wants, namely some epic Jude and Cardan content as well as some excellent parties, politics, and murders. It wouldn't be Faerie without a little betrayal by characters old and new and it wouldn't be Elfhame without murders. Listen with ACOFAE as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie admit that they've lost the plot a little bit and revel in the majesty that is Jude. High Fucking Queen.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: My So-Called Life: "They don't make them like they used to." Do you remember being 15? Everything MEANT something, everything was important, and everything was life or death. Friendships were deep and intense and crushes were the only thing that like, kept us going. Angela Chase is on a journey to discover herself and is making it everyones problem as ACOFAE covers Episode 1 and Episode 2 of the cult classic "My So-Called Life." If you're looking for intense friendships, parents with their own drama, and a gorgeous boy by the name of Jordan Catalano then look no further. Angela and her friends Rayanne, Ricki, Sharon, and Brian take us along on their journey of self discovery and evolution and challenge us to find the beauty in the mundane. "So when Rayanne Graf told me my hair was holding me back, I had to listen ... 'cause she wasn't just talking about my hair. She was talking about my life."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Iron Flame: "Hear me out..." If you think you know where this is going, ACOFAE assures you that you do not! Surprises abound as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie strap in to discuss Iron Flame. Violet is reeling with a shock, Xaden is hiding things, and don't call it a rebellion, it's a revolution. Romance takes the center stage here but it's the politics between regions, dragons and leadership that really grabs your attention. Secondary characters and plots hold a lot of sway as discussions about assimilation, absorption, translation and the loss of culture are the meat of the story. What happens when every source has been translated 4x times? What happens when the scribes hold all the power? How do you know what really happened? Secrets secrets are no fun, secrets secrets hurt someone.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Josie and the Pussycats: "It's good for the economy." You know the songs. You know the actresses. You had the body glitter. You even watched MTV. But did you understand the message? If you're anything like ACOFAE maybe not, but that's why we rewatch! The music industry is a machine and after DuJour disappears, it needs a new way to sell things! Enter trendpimps The PussyHats, wait no- Pussycats! They've got a dream and the talent and Parker Posey has a message for them to push out. What happens when fame and fortune are instantly thrust upon bandmates? Will the friendship survive?

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Female Friendships: "Its been a long time coming but..." There are a few consistencies on ACOFAE and one of them from the very beginning has been the love of female friendships. All friendship is important and has its place, but there's something special about female friendships that make an impact different than all others. Join ACOFAE as they reflect on their own friendships, their favorite book friendships, and their favorite friendships in media at large. Touching on the fragility of girlhood and the intimacy of the bedroom hangout, ACOFAE focuses on those little subjects that can be often overlooked in media. What does it mean to be a best friend? Are you the BFF/BSF to your BFF/BSF or does your BFF/BSF consider someone else theirs? Is that ok?! Do we have to know ever detail about our friends? If we don't, are we bad friends? Are we!? Light.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: MST 3000: "It's not so serious all the time." Let's set the scene: You're two weeks into a book-hangover. You're DNF-ing everything and AO3 isn't getting you where you need to be. What is a reader to do?! Where do you go?! Sometimes taking a step back and changing up the format can do wonders. Enter MST 3000. Enter Spaceballs. Exit the funk that has kept the slump alive. Parody and Satire can keep you in the genre you want to be, the headspace you want to be, but allow you to laugh at yourself, at the content, and at the world in general. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they reset and have a good laugh. Everything doesn't have to be the be all end all ALL the time. Sometimes you just need to laugh until you cry and then cry until you laugh again.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bookhangovers: "Write the good write." ACOFAE is in a book slump. You know that feeling when nothing it hitting, you're DNF-ing everything after a few chapters, and the ick is insurmountable? Where does one go when that feeling threatens to overtake you? Fanfiction. Fanfiction will pick you up when all you've been doing is putting things down, and ACOFAE needs a little pick-me-up. What's a deeper comfort than ACOMAF and getting a little insight through Rhy's POV by IllyrianTremors. Laura Marie and Jessica Marie discuss the joys of comfy fics, the conversations about book-hangover, and what happens when all you want is to stay in a time and a place.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: House of Flame and Shadow (HOFAS) Initial Reactions: "MEANWHILE..." Hype. There was a lot of it surrounding HOFAS. Feelings. There were many different kinds when that last bonus chapter was read (or was there?!). Conversations. That's what ACOFAE is having in HOFAS Initial Reactions. Surprises that's what's in store when Laura Marie and Jessica Marie dig into CC3: HOFAS and what they loved, what they didn't, and what they felt neutral about. Bryce has gone to a place that the readers know but she doesn't and wow does she make some choices there. Hunt and the boys are all tied up, and Tharion and the other boys are getting into all sorts of trouble. World shattering lore drops abound as history is pieced together and origins are discovered in this world and others. CC3: HOFAS takes the reader on an adventure that closes the story of Bryce and Hunt and opens the possibilities of so many more. Release the Snyder cut.

ACOFAE loves a lot of things: consistency, audio formats, and original stories just to name a few. Add in a stellar cast and excellent production value and you have Third Eye - a story about what happens when the chosen one fails. That's right, fails. Laurel was supposed to save the world but she botched it, and now 15 years later is trying to live a normal life as public enemy number 1. But when the tropes start troping and a new savior shows up, it's up to Laurel and her friends to solve the mystery. How can there be two chosen ones? Maybe destiny was wrong? It's not Laurel's fault? Join ACOFAE as they gush about the story, the cast, and how you should always always always meet your idols.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Midnight Ruin: "We're Endgame baby." ACOFAE is back with the latest Dark Olympus installment and let's just say Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are in this one for the plot. Eurydice wants. She wants to be useful, independent, sensual, and free from the memory of Orpheus. Charon is in charge of Eurydice and wants her. Orpheus is sad and sorry and wants...direction. Enter the plot of Midnight Ruin -- the barrier is failing, people are dying, and the big bad is finally revealed! We have a name, a reason, and kind of a plan. Enter Orpheus groveling and Charon dropping lines. Exit Laura Marie's ability to keep a straight face. Join ACOFAE as they put the pieces together and determine that you know what? That man needs to beg some more. A lot more. Good boy.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: House of Sky and Breath (HOSAB): Revisited: “You can be a whole person by yourself." Absence makes the heart grow fonder right? Sometimes a little distance is exactly what you need to figure out your feelings. That was absolutely the case for Laura Marie and Jessica Marie who had some intense initial reactions and saw those reactions a bit tempered this reread of HOSAB! Bryce and Hunt are into each other, a war is brewing, Thunderbirds are a foot, and the Asteri are scary. Danika's secrets have been discovered again and Bryce is frustrated.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Rise of a Dark Throne: "Here before, here now, here after." A magical and unexplained plague is not a theme that ACOFAE has a lot of experience with. However fated mates, close proximity and secret keeping are themes that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie have extensive experience with! Dive into Rise of a Dark Throne with ACOFAE as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie discover differences between the audio and KU editions and how that wildly changed the story! Consistency is key at ACOFAE and Laura Marie is once again asking if she is a cranky B and Jessica Marie is loving the story of female friendship loyalty.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: ACOSF Revisited: "I respect her." What's that saying? Distance makes the heart grow fonder? That certainly is the case here as ACOFAE revisits A Court of Silver Flames with a fresh perspective, new connections, and a Pattern to apply! Nesta is depressed and making it everyone's problem, Cassian is trying to help and making it worse, and Azriel is the worst chaperone in Prythian. The lore drops here are magnificent as we refocus our read to the prison, the dread trove, and Ramiel and all the fun little things that could or could not have an impact on future books. ACOFAE Laura has a little realization on why the read was so hard the first go through and Jessica Marie comes out with a deeper respect for Nesta than she realized. The love for Rhys and Cassian remain as strong as ever as does the love for Azzy, our favorite bonus chapter bat boy with problems. "Maybe you'll become interesting at last, Elain.” ACOFAE couldn't agree more.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Chain of Thorns: "I'd thrive in Thule." It must be December if ACOFAE is saying goodbye to another section of the Shadowhunters saga! This year we say goodbye the Merry Thieves as we close The Last Hours with confrontation in Paris, a confrontation in the Silent City, and a confrontation in Westminster Abby, of all places. Cordelia and Matthew are in Paris and almost in love, and James is on an adventure to save his sister and Beliel finally does the damn thing and pulls the plot together. If you're expecting Jessica Marie's tears you've got them here and if you're expecting Laura Marie to kick and giggle over James then you're in luck too. It's the holiday season and the London Institute's annual Christmas party is also in full swing to set things off right. Oh and when Jessica Marie says Will, 90% of the time she means James, OH and when Laura Marie says GOLD in the beginning she means Chains. IT'S THE HOLIDAYS.

What happens when you're in a funk watching or reading something that everyone loves and you kinda don't?

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: We are Thankful: Business or Pleasure and Edge of the Woods. Another year, another opportunity to be thankful. This year ACOFAE is thankful for so many things: reading slumps, not so great books, self discovery, and setting boundaries. If you're reading that and scratching your head then you are in for a treat! Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they discuss the book that they are most thankful for this year and for reasons chose to NOT pitch to the podcast. Both Laura Marie and Jessica Marie went on a journey of discovery during their reading adventure for extremely different reasons but both conclude the same: the love of fandom unites us all.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Hunger Games: The Movie: "That is mahogany!" "Welcome, welcome" Where were you when Katniss volunteered? What were you doing when Peeta threw the bread in the mud? How do you feel when Gale uses catnip as a nickname? These important and pressing questions and more are answered as ACOFAE covers The Hunger Games the movie. Welcome to Panem, everything is awful and children have to fight to the death on television to show penance and remind the world of the grace of The Capital. Makes total sense. But actions speak louder than words and as the world watches the 74th Hunger Games things begin to unravel for the game-makers, the tributes, and for President Snow.

Cassandra Clare's new release and first entry into adult fiction, Sword Catcher, gives the reader Kel and Lin, who lead separate lives until a prince brings them together in web of secrets that tie the three of them together more tightly than they realize.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Underworld: “Why are they so obsessed with each other?” Where were you in 2003? Were you thinking about Michael Sheen? Were vampires on your radar? What about werewolves? Surprising everyone probably, maybe ACOFAE Laura did NOT see this in theaters, and surprising no one probably, maybe ACOFAE Jessica saw this for the first time on Laura's couch. For a movie that flew a bit under the radar in the early aughts, Underworld is jammed packed with everything that ACOFAE loves and just a bit that maybe ACOFAE doesn't. Filmed with what seems like a filter over the lens, this Romeo and Juliet (what!?) story about bloodlines spawned a franchise and a conversation about female action stars that sent Laura Marie and Jessica Marie spiraling.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Chasm: "Men will do everything but go to therapy." The weather is changing. It's getting a bit colder, a bit darker, and things are starting to look bleak from where Dawsyn sits. The man she loves is dead, the Queens are still in power, and the Ledge still exists. Only two options: play nice and take it down from the inside or death. Dawsyn chooses death and what follows is a travel adventure that cements the found family and reinforces the lore of the Ledge, the Chasm, and the wider world at large. Betrayals abound, promises are broken, and guilt and forgiveness are center stage as The Chasm brings us to the deepest fears of the people and of Dawsyn. “Stay the Frost, Watch the Chasm, The Cold is not Alive."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Drive Me Crazy: "Onward through the fog!" What do you think of when you read the title - the Britney Spears megahit or the movie the song was featured in? ACOFAE can probably guess! A movie that doesn't get the attention it probably deserves, Drive Me Crazy, slipped in before the Millennium and gave us Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier in a teen movie filled with tropes. Really there's a lot of them: friends-to-enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, parents dating, dead beat dad, and grumpy sunshine. Or what is it when it's golden retriever and sunshine? Is that a trope? Join ACOFAE as they go back to high school and determine the fashion isn't the best, maybe the acting isn't the best either, but the messages are surprising and the lessons stick with you. *Who are we making jealous?

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Serpent and the Wings of Night: "That's not the person I fell in like with..." What happens when a human child is raised by a vampire king? What happens when that child makes a choice? A lot happens it turns out when Oraya decides that she will enter the vampire tournament so that she can get her wish, to not be human and to bind herself to her vampire adoptive father; to no longer be prey in a world of predators. Enter the politics. It's bat wings verses feathered wings in a vampire war that features the legend of a goddess that is front and center to the story. This goddess likes chaos and has no problem showing her face and stirring the pot. ACOFAE loves to see it.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Cruel Seduction: "..sexy Clue, now we have The Purge." Here at ACOFAE we are all well aware of what a "travel book" means to the pod. What if Laura Marie and Jessica Marie were to introduce the idea of a "consequence book"? A book where it all starts to hit the fan and plans have to be made to deal with it. A book where the marriage is real, the ex is involved, and the politics are on fire. Not literally, but they may as well be. Barriers are failing, shipments are missing, and Minos seems to hold all the cards which is making Zeus act, like a Zeus. A story that's filled with ultimatums, mess, and surprising tenderness, Cruel Seduction takes the reader and ACOFAE on a journey that is as beautiful as it is unique. Spoilers: The Dark Olympus series, Fearless, The Purge, Manacled, Throne of Glass Mentions: The Dark Olympus series Author's TW/CW for the books are listed here and on the sites below: explicit sex, attempted murder, murder, violence, blood, child abuse (historical, non-graphic), attempted sexual assault (historical, off-page) https://www.kateerobert.com/ https://www.kateerobert.com/book5 For additional TW/CW information for your future reads, head to this site for more: https://triggerwarningdatabase.com/ *Thank you for listening to us!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The River of Silver: "Don't let others make you feel small." Here at ACOFAE there are a couple sayings, one of them being "if the author writes it, you should read it." It's with that in mind that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie find themselves back in Daevabad with Nahri, Ali, and almost every other main and beloved character from the trilogy. Told in anthology form, each story gives a different perspective and at times a different voice to a situation or character that we are already familiar with from the trilogy, creating a story that is both new and familiar. Told chronologically and with spoiler warnings and timestamps, The River of Silver leaves us with endings beyond the trilogy and one in particular that absolutely breaks Laura Marie. TW / CW: self-harm/suicide, sexual assualt, human trafficking, alcoholism/alcohol dependency For additional TW/CW information for your future reads, head to this site for more: https://triggerwarningdatabase.com/ Spoilers: The Daevabad Trilogy Mentions: Moulin Rouge, Throne of Glass, Shadowhunters, Supernatural *Thank you for listening to us!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Manacled: "If he is a monster, then I am his creator." Happy Birthday Harry Potter! The Boy Who Lived! Yay. OK. Now, DID SOMEONE SAY DRACO MALFOY?! ACOFAE tackles it's first fan-fiction episode and Jessica Marie's first Dramione fanfic. Laura Marie pulled no punches and started her off with Manacled. Only the best and arguably most traumatizing for all involved. Harry Potter is dead. Hermione has ministry secrets buried inside her brain and only a magical pregnancy can unlock them. Enter the High Reeve, over 20 chapters of flashbacks, and a story that will break you when it ends and destroy you when you reread. Join ACOFAE as they cry, rage, and gasp in disbelief at a story that will become more real than the canon if you let it. This episode is a long one but Dramione deserves no less. “What did you think was the source of all his rage?” Please note: ACOFAE Podcast does not support discriminatory or hateful speech in any form. We stand by the LGBTQ+ community and all fans who found a home in the Harry Potter series and will work to provide a safe space for fans.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: SPECIAL EPISODE 009: Our established friend, Sam, and Sayonara Wild Hearts. ACOFAE welcomes to the podcast a special guest and our known and well-established friend, Sam! Editor Sam works behind-the-scenes each week to make sure the podcast is the best that it can be, but this week he is center-stage and ready to talk about something near and dear to his heart: Sayonara Wild Hearts. Described as a "pop album video game," Sam takes us through a journey that is as beautiful visually as it is emotionally, and as challenging mentally as it is physically (must tap button fast!). Sam edits music into our conversations to really show how impactful something can be and how a stunning message about self empowerment and the journey through grief can be found in the most unexpected places. Oh, and Queen Latifah is in the game too. We did say it's unexpected! Sam's Links: Sayonara Wild Hearts Wiki Astrotalk: Tarot cards AIPT: "The intrinsically loving journey of ‘Sayonara Wild Hearts’".

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Empire of Gold - Part 2: “Not wanting to be destroyed by despair doesn’t make you a coward."

The Ifrit and Manizah are in power and Daevabad is suffering. The Marid and Ali have a plan and Nahri is scheming. And Dara. Oh Dara.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Empire of Gold Pt 1: "He's not a smart man." Absolute power corrupts absolutely, isn't that how the saying goes? What happens when the dream you've had since a child comes true? What happens when the foundations of your world are ripped away? What happens when magic is gone? Daevabad is not the same. Nahri and Ali have vanished. The Ifrit roam the city and Dara is the only being that can use magic. Rumors are flying, loyalties are being questioned and the killing has begun. A world away Nahri and Ali are on their own desperately trying to stay alive and out of the clutches of the Marid.
