S2E9.5 LCB Catch Up #2: Two Librarians Can't Be Seen (Thirsty 4 Fish)
In this episode, powered by Audacity 4, we continue our intervallo-esque lookback at everything we've missed in our mainline Limbus Company episodes (the woke previously known as season 2, woke 2) doing a 10 pull of recent art to look at gamer Ishmaels and wormlike Gregors, thinking about Clockwork-Time-Roly-Poly and a little bit too much about Headless Ichthys, prompting a sticky question: So how uh, how do we feel about a certain fish with a certain, ahem, inflated sack around visible around the chest area? Surely asking this will cause no problems, right?

S1E38 A New Stereotype About Shirtless Men
In this episode, the new face of sexism, we zoom in the suave and sultry serpent-sheath shirtless scoundrel Saturne, who's proportions are simply a bit suspect, and ask a sickly question: Is there really a difference between being chronically ill and being a bottom? Because, okay, I know how it sounds, but hear me out - To make sense of this episode you really should watch Demi Adejuyigbe explain Racism 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YFGJHSJ9ko Follow along: https://d7.mjsdb.ovh/character/Saturne Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/ivyfoxart Follow the show on Tumblr: https://soul-mates-podcast.tumblr.com/ Follow the show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Soul-Mates-Podcast Art by Ryegarden: https://www.instagram.com/ryegarden Music by Sueños Electrónicos: https://suenoselectronicos.bandcamp.com/ Follow and support ash: https://ko-fi.com/asherlark Follow Ivy on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ivy-fox-is-typing.bsky.social

S3E11 The University Of Bangladesh
In this episode, also known as "Oddly Enough,", we zoom in on our featured Operator and Food, the river-loving desert-roaming tomb-looting Philae, who is as gentle and kind as she is uhm I don't actually want a flyer, thanks, and the pollyp-producing prank playing pudgester Jellyfish Salad, who omg wow isn't she just so adowable I really just can't get over it, asking a game changing question: Chinese Egyptian Egyptian? Does anyone get this? Then, the worst 90s anime reboot ever with Swiss Roll, Courier, and Mullberry, asking: What if Cloud Strife was in Kingdom Hearts? Wouldn't that be crazy?

S1E37 Sabrage The Bulging Shape
In this episode, a locked OUT one, we continue our adventures with Saki, the premier (?) mahjong anime, with the pandering pudgy protrusion penguin pedestal porting Nodoka Haramura, who plays mahjong out of passion and NOT because she's gay, and ask a question of ash to just make sure they're okay: Are you sure you like this default art piece? Like, really sure? Everything going alright at home, buddy? If you need a loser girl then you should click! This!

BONUS 14 Saki Episode of Side A Watchalong: Let The Dinner Hit The Girl...?
A piece in three movements: Movement One, the Prelude: Dinner...? Girl...? A sparse wasteland of decimation. Bellies are unfilled, mahjong unplayed. The seasons roll on with no regard for human suffering. Movement Two, the Bridge: What Kind of Dinner Hits that Girl? Over the horizon, a distant ray of hope, though quickly frozen over. Still we must persist, with gloves upon our palms and ties around our necks. Movement Three, the Finale: Let the Dinner Hit the Girl. As we reach the seaside, our wishes finally fulfilled with a feast fit for any girl; and a brush with death returns us to the apple-scented embrace of old friends.

S1E36 Gamer Emotions/Lizard Emotions
In this episode, an episode in which we say the words "gender politics" so many times it loses meaning, we zoom in on our first Gun Gale Onli - I mean, Sword Art Online colab character, the slithering stoic sure-shot sniper Sinon, who's been popping heads with style since she's been 5 years old, and ask a truly devistating question: Should you watch Sword Art Online? The answer will...surprise you?

S3E10 Don't Forcefemme My Burrito
In this episode, with a name that breaks all the rules, we zoom in on our featured Food and Operator, the distinctly disturbing dreamy duo Monkfish Liver, who are decidedly NOT here to look after you, good hunter, and the thunder-thighed thoroughly thought provoking Savage, here to whip you up a bowl of the good stuff (?) and ask a spooooky question: Is it possible for your sexy aunt to be scarier than a flesh eating mannequin? Because, here me out. Then, it's off to the community center with Burrito, Datemaki, and Figurino, asking: Now, we all know you can forcefemme a burrito (not mine please, I'm full) but CAN you forcefemme a taco...?
