having watched fen recovering from the death of faer partner, and helped where i could, i think it's time for me to say goodbye. it's been fun being around for the first time in many years, since Benn and fen were kids playing with dolls, but fen doesn't need my help anymore. i'll miss the friends i've made. i'll miss chatting with fen. but, my mind is made up. i hope, dear listener, that what little time we've spent together has made an impact on you, and that in some small way you will carry it with you for the rest of your life. just remember, there are lots of things you can do, even after you become ash.

Hello dear listeners. I know you're here to hear about the rest of Seabed. It's just. Lately I find myself thinking about my old cohost and partner, from whom I've been separated for several years now. To be honest, I don't clearly remember what lead to the breakup. But I feel a strange longing in my heart, and pain in my skull, when I think back on the face fae made on that day. Ah. I'm sorry, I'm tearing up a bit. But it will be okay. I've moved on. Seabed is going to take a few more episodes, but we'll be covering chapters 1-3 and all the unlocked Tips today, as well Everlasting Flowers for Yuri Teatime. It may be difficult at times, but I have my wonderful guest hosts to help me get through the coming episodes.

our main writer, who was also the most important person in my life, has been dead for a couple of years. the podcasts we recorded together, the feeling of their presence in this apartment, the sound of their voice as we walked together. i've come to terms with the fact that it's all been a hallucination, a way to deal with the grief of losing someone so close to me so suddenly. even knowing she's a hallucination though, something my own mind has made up, i don't want to say goodbye. not quite yet. so please indulge me dear reader if the podcast continues a bit longer.

Moon Archive 96: 2024 Holiday Special [The Legendary Twenty Four Hour Podcast]
our main writer was last scene tumbling out of the sky as the wings they had put together fell apart. after metaphorically flying so close to the sun and not getting burnt so many times, it seems she wanted to try for real this time... please keep them in your thoughts as you listen to this very long episode where shockingly few things are actually discussed.
Read MoreMoon Archive 95: Hana no Miyako
i saw our main writer talking to a wizard a couple of weeks ago, but did my best to put it out of my mind. i know they like wizards, both metaphorical and literal, and we had podcasts to record. last night i found them being eaten up by some kind of magical plant while battling someone who was dressed in what looked like a sexy nun outfit from spirit halloween. they will be missed. this episode is about hibino and chikane, the type moon mascots, and their adventures.

Moon Archive 93: Mahotsukai no Yoru [Postgame]
once again the main writer is indisposed. i heard her chuckling not long before i found dead on her chair, with a little pop up that showed them failing a pain threshold challenge. they will be missed. anyway, what happened this episode? it's a little hard to remember, i woke up in alice's mansion and all i remember something about wrapping up the remainder of mahoyo. that must have been this episode. oh, and we cover the, quite good imo, manga walk to death.

Moon Archive 92: Mahoutsukai no Yoru [Chapters 11-13]
we get a final confrontation with touko and a lot of setup for mahoyo 2. it's... kind of a letdown tbh. at least we get to be excited about touhou for a while.

Moon Archive 90: Mahotsukai no Yoru [Chapters 6-8]
That's right, I'm back to writing the description this week. You can tell because I know how to use capital letters, unlike a certain fen. Anyway this week we're leaning hard into the romcom antics, and watching Aoko bite off a bit more than she can chew with the lifestyle domme thing.

Moon Archive 89: Mahotsukai no Yoru [Chapters 4 & 5]
sorry, dear listener for the quality of our episode descriptions recently. our main writer got trapped in a bottle at the end of this episode and i overheard a couple of witches debating what to do with them. hopefully she gets let out and we're able to podcast this weekend... but, in the meantime, we were barely able to get this episode recorded where we talk about things such as: was revue starlight ever good??? (yes) and will alice, aoko, and soujuurou all survive the night??? (the answer probably won't surprise you, but you might be delighted)

Moon Archive Episode 87: Fate/ Prototype
Closing out a run of goofy spin off works, your intrepid hosts dive into the (extremely short) Fate/ Prototype OVA! A tiny peek into an alternate version of Fate/ stay night, where Saber was a boy, Lancer had a fur coat, and Kotomine was replaced by that top hat pervert from KNK 5.

Moon Archive 86: Take Moon & Carnival Phantasm
The festival is starting! This time your intrepid hosts are covering the manga Take-Moon and the anime adaptation Carnival Phantasm! Coming on the tail end of a lot of goofy spin offs, Carnival Phantasm is something of a tone setter for Type-Moon comedy going forward. Is that a good thing, or…? We also cover a cornucopia of Menhera VN Jam games, and even answer some emails that we’ve been punting for a while.
Next time, we’ll be covering the Fate/ Prototype OVA that was released as an extra episode for Carnival Phantasm. For the Al|together Jam, we’re covering The Letter, and for Yuri Teatime we’ve got Divine Despair Deviance, a Menhera Jam game we didn’t make it to this time.
Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends) and fen (@fenic_fox). Guest featuring Blutweinen (@Blutweinen on Bluesky)

Moon Archive 85: Melty Blood X
In what may be our shortest episode ever, your beloved hosts come together to (nominally) discuss Melty Blood X, a short Back Alley Alliance spin off story. In practice, we mostly talk about Malcatras’ Maiden and Void Stranger. They’re a lot more fun, honestly.

Moon Archive 84: Room of the April Witch and Koha-Ace
We have a couple small things this week to give us a break before the impending Mahoyo. First up: Room of the April Witch, a one off standalone short story. Second: Koha-Ace, a one volume meta gag manga that nominally stars Kohaku. It’s a bit of a light episode.
