S1 E4: Cart and Cwidder
I sing for Osfameron; I move in more than one world.
The power of art, the divided self, and Walemark.
S1 E3: Dogsbody
Soon only Sirius was scratching and tearing at the dark, and he only kept on because he had a dim notion that anything was better than cold nothingness.
Politics, parenting, sex and death.
[NB: We had a special very small guest on this one, so if you hear the occasional kick or wail against the infinite difficulty of being alive, just remember: it's thematic!]
S1 E2: Wilkins’ Tooth / The Ogre Downstairs
He could only think of one solution: "Should have been me to hit you, I suppose. I will if you like."
Revenge, violence, and several attempted murders [yakety sax].
(TW: it's a DWJ but this one has more than the usual amount of discussion of child abuse)
S1 E1: Eight Days of Luke
"Wouldn't you say it was worth it to be really happy for a while, even if you knew you were going to end up sad ever after?”
Loki, Brunhilde, and the archetypal Diana Wynne Jones Cricket Boy.
