ACOFAE: A Collection of Fandoms and Exploration.

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. Does this movie follow "The Pattern"?

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.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Wicked Villains 1-3: "They all come here." The pipeline from being obsessed with Red Jasmine as a child to being obsessed with Red Jasmine in a kink club as an adult is one that should be studied. Welcome to The Underworld, a kink club that is different from the one you know and love, but not that different. The club is the setting for books 1-3 of Wicked Villains and it's almost it's own character. Red Jasmine and Jafar set the stage in book 1 (Desperate Measures) with Meg (Learn My Lesson) and Tink (A Worthy Opponent) following in their own spicy retellings in books 2 and 3. The heroes are the "villains" and the "villains" are very sexy and love to wonder "Who did this to you?" ACOFAE loves a villain.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Hunter and the Heart: "I wish to be a potato." What does "prequel" mean to you? Does it mean 500+ years before the main story? More/Less? ACOFAE went into The Hunter and the Heart with assumptions and you know what happens when you assume: you make an ass out of you and me. Listen as ACOFAE recalibrates and dives into the richness of lore and the depth of heartbreak as characters new and old give new perspectives on stories that we thought we knew. Soulmates, curses, soul fragments, memories, and an ending that tilts our entire world, The Hunter and the Heart leaves us with the question: why choose!? Follow Deanna Ortega!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Kingdom of Copper - Part 2: “Go steal some happiness for yourself, my friend." There is a certain kind of joy that ACOFAE feels when a character actually does the thing. You know. The thing that's been threatened or looming the entire story. The shock, excitement, fear, and anticipation of "The Thing" unfolding as you read is perhaps one of the greatest feelings ever. "The Thing" happens here in Part 2 of The Kingdom of Copper. Jessica Marie wanted a good political fantasy and she got one as Nahri and Ali are surviving as best they can in a city rife with tension and about to implode. Forces outside of Daevabad are gathering and they have their sights set on sacking the city. Nahri has the hospital in her grip but what about her husband? The plots come out of the closet and the siblings are bonding as everything finally changes. "Are you with me?" "Until the end."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Soul of the Deep: "I choose to be me." What happens when you lose your purpose? When guilt and grief are so consuming that even the bottom of the sea isn't as crushing your own thoughts? What happens when you loose faith? You look for the light. Simi is depressed and alone fulfilling her bargain at the bottom of the sea. Her sacrifice has been worth it, or so Simi thinks. Her penance at the bottom of the sea is her duty, or so Simi thinks. But all is not as it seems and the sea and the land are not at peace. War is brewing and everyone wants to blame Simi, even Simi. Soul of the Deep takes Simi and readers from the darkest part of the ocean to the brightest part of the day and explores the idea that what is right to you, isn't always what is right to all.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Kingdom of Copper - Part 1: "I need to put some men in their place." Welcome back to Daevabad. Ali is in exile, Nahri is married, and time has passed. So much time in fact that Ali has carved out a life for himself in the desert, Nahri has become the healer she always wanted to be, and Daevabad..isn't doing excellent. The religious tensions, political tensions, and familial tensions all come to a head in this, not as traveled as you'd think, "book 2." Toxic relationships and the ties that bind people to each other are tested to their breaking point. What happens when the lies are uncovered, the hidden enemy revealed, and the ACT is done? What happens when the goal is achieved? The Kingdom of Copper is split into 2 episodes because Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are very into the story. Nahri stepping into her power? Say less.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Virgin Suicides: "Obviously, Doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl." There are a few things on ACOFAE that stay 100% consistent: love of sisterhood, female empowerment, and freedom being just a few. So it would be a fair assumption that both Laura Marie and Jessica Marie would love this movie. This movie being about sisterhood and freedom, or the lack-thereof. Cue the surprise of a lifetime and the start of some excellent discussions about what it is to be a child, what it is to be an adult, and how hard it is to look back through nostalgia with fresh eyes. The Virgin Suicides gives us a dreamy, female centric aesthetic that tries it's best to show the elusive world of girlhood in all it's beauty and horror. Where it truly succeeds in leaping bounds is in showing us that boys (later men), even if they try, will never understand what it is to be a 13 year old girl.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Queen Among the Dead: "We'd be remiss if we didn't bring it up." In a world full of magic, gods, ghosts and monsters it can be hard to know where you belong. When your mother is the Queen and throws you to the wolf goddess at birth and then flees the kingdom, it can be even harder to figure out where you belong. Neve is the younger princess of Eire and she will never be Queen, that's the job of her older sister and she is welcome to it. But what happens when the magic, the Druids, the people, and the king are all tied up together in tradition and ceremony? What happens when you find out who you truly are? Inspired by the legends of Ireland Queen Among the Dead took ACOFAE by surprise in more ways than one.

Jane is in a new land after her flight from marriage and now has a price on her head. Barred from her own country, Jane has no choice but to lean on the allies that saved her even though their motives are...vague.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Ghosts of the Shadowmarket: Part 1: "At this point in his Silent Brother-hoodness." Brother Zachariah has gone by a lot of names in his time: Brother Mack-a-riah: Hop- in- the- sack-ariah, Sixpack-a-riah, and maybe the most famous, the Jem-nasium. Ghosts of the Shadowmarket is Brother Zachariah's journey throughout time from the 1900's to the 2000's and what a story he has to tell. Only he can't. Because he's a silent brother and there is no one to hear him. Until there is. Most likely surprising no one, Jessica Marie sobbed and maybe surprising some Laura Marie did too. Surprising absolutely no one, this episode ran too long and is split into two parts per editor Sam's request. Lash holes were cried (IYKYK). It was an intense time.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Bloodmarked: “Nah. I think you’re stuck with us, Bree.” Bree has a lot on her mind. She is the Crown Sion of Arthur, a daughter, a friend, a King, a warrior, the wound-made weapon, and the tip of the spear. Bree's ancestors ran so that she would not have to. A lot of pressure for anyone, let alone one 16-year-old girl. As the Scion of Arthur, Bree should be in charge of everything. There is a war coming and the table must be united in spirit and in flesh. The regents however, would rather trap and study Bree and her power. To keep her safe. Bloodmarked takes us on a powerful journey that finds us in locations like the crossroads bar and a network of safehouses on the underground railroad. The ancestors and Bree have a lot to say to each other and it's not always pleasant. Breaking generational curses is hard work, but Bree can do anything. There are no spoilers outside of the Legendborn world.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Ninth House: "Like the ghost in Mario?"

ACOFAE Podcast presents: ACOMAF revisited: "You can make yourself hate something." Let's go back to the beginning. Back to the book that started the conversation that started the podcast. Back to Tamlin and the Spring Court, Ianthe, Lucien, a wedding and red flowers, red paint and bright red flags. Back to the pit of depression. Back to the locked cage. Back to finding the strength to need more. Be more. Back to wanting to be loved, to having fun, to being awake, and to feeling alive again. Back to the feeling of finding your family and your friends and the life you've always wanted but were too afraid to dream for. Back to the beginning to Feyre. And of course, back to Velaris, The City of Starlight. Celebrate our official 100th episode with us by revisiting ACOMAF!

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Dark Artifices: Queen of Air and Darkness: "Oh I fu**ed up." Sometimes the holidays can turn into a battle. Sometimes that battle can get political. Sometimes that political battle can result in an uprising that will shake the foundations of the world. And sometimes that battle is so intense that a multiverse is involved. AND SOMETIMES that multiverse that got involved in an intense political uprising contains characters that rip out our hearts and put them back together. Queen of Air and Darkness has all this and more. More like: raising the dead, traveling to the court of Unseelie, witnessing the death of a ruler and the rise of a new one, and the way that fear can isolate and do more harm than almost anything. Julian and the Blackthorns are back in the last book of their series. If you were feeling big feelings before, this will wreck you in the best way. Happy Holidays.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Dark Artifices: Lord of Shadows: The Law is hard, but it is the Law. "It's Christmas in California/And it's hard to ignore that/It feels like summer all the time/But I'll take a West Coast winter/To remove my splinters/It's good to be alive/It's good to be alive." -Jack's Mannequin. It's good to be alive and it's good to be with family; especially if your family is the Blackthorns, Carstairs, or Herondales. Until that family is ripped apart by politics and violence and a little bit of faerie trickery. Julian, Emma, Cristina, Kit and literally everyone else we've ever loved are tangled up in a web of secrets and betrayal that has a consequence no one saw coming. Unless you reread this and see the foreshadowing. Come and join ACOFAE as we gush over Julian and his one liners ("I am ruined") and ugly cry over the end of the book. "Death is a gift".

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Dark Artifices: Lady Midnight: "We said this wouldn't be linear!" What better way to beat the cold and holiday blues than to spend the season at the LA Institute surrounded by the Blackthorn family and Emma Carstairs. It's been 5 years since Sebastian died. 5 years since Mark Blackthorn was taken by the Wild Hunt. 5 years since Emma's parents were found murdered. 5 years since anyone has known true peace. Emma is on a quest for revenge and when bodies are discovered murdered in the same way as her parents all these years later, the quest for justice is on. Throw in Tavvy, Dru, Ty, Livvy and Julian Blackthorn, a few reoccurring characters we know and love, and a handful of new characters and we have the recipe for a whole new Shadowhunter story that demands you sit up and pay attention. Oh and it's full of Easter eggs! Just full!

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Shatter Me: 2-4: "Want to hear another hot take?" There are so many things to love about the Shatter Me series. There's action! Adventure! Political Intrigue! Compelling characters...lots of characters. Well, ACOFAE promises that Juliette does in fact stop crying for more than 5 minutes and makes some decisions. Warner does say other things besides "love." The adults do do more than hint at calamity. And Adam does continue to exist. ACOFAE is covering Unravel Me, Ignite Me, and Restore Me and there are some hot takes, some lukewarm takes, and the hottest take to ever have been tooken about Mr. "Lift your hips for me" himself. Oh and Kenji. There are some thoughts about Kenji and just what in the character assassination is going on with him. Throw in some training montages and an excellent GI Jane moment, then we have Shatter me 2-4.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: We are Thankful: Book Lovers and Babel There are many ways to be thankful. There are SO many things to be thankful for. There are SO SO many books that came out this year. There are SO SO SO many books that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie read that don't make it to the podcast. There is this golden opportunity to share two of these books and why ACOFAE is grateful for them and why they didn't make it to the podcast for a full episode. There has been no contemporary romance on the pod until now with Book Lovers! Jessica Marie brings Book Lovers to the podcast and Laura Marie brings Babel in an episode that brings up excellent points (if we do say so ourselves) about stigmas, work personalities, and how to read the room even when we shouldn't have to. Oh and the plots of the books are discussed! We are thankful for so much but especially you!

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Daughters of the Moon 3-4: "Never trust men." Nothing ever truly goes out of style. Time is a flat circle. Friends don't know everything about each other. Boys can suck. These are the four life lessons that we, the readers, learn in books 3-4 of the Daughters of the Moon series. Jimena and Catty take the lead in their respective books and learn about themselves, adjust their priorities, and gain a bit more knowledge about the future and the Choice that must be made. Lovers back from the dead and a secret prophecy make for fast-paced action, while the plot solidifies into something much bigger than we ever anticipated. Tartarus in LA? Nothing ever truly goes out of style.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: The Mortal Instruments: The Movie: "It blew up into snow!?" You know that feeling when the thing that you love is going to be a movie and you want it to be successful, and it looks good, and you're so hopeful, and then it comes out and it's hot garbage? Yeah ACOFAE knows that feeling too. sigh There is a lot to love in this movie and a lot to scratch your head at, like why is the portal so wet? Laura Marie has questions. It's Pandemonium in New York as Clary et all kick off their adventures finding cups and killing demons in the movie should have jumpstarted a movie series. There is so much potential. So much.
