A Court of Fandoms and Exploration - A Podcast‪.‬ Laura Marie and Jessica Marie

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.

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Shadows and Lies: "Madly."


Jane has had enough. She's fled her arranged marriage, murdered a bit here and there, been manipulated, been powerless, and now you're telling her WHAT about her trusted WHAT?! The reveal of the decade that left Laura Marie and Jessica Marie reeling is just one of the surprises that await the reader in Shadows and Lies, the follow-up to Ruin and Roses. 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. If you wanted more politics, more training montages, more travel, and more spice then you are in luck. Friendships, sisterhood, and acceptance are themes that we love at ACOFAE and they are on full display here. "Once upon a time there was a boy with a thief’s heart and a girl with emerald eyes...Do they fall in love?"

ACOFAE Podcast presents: House of Hollow: "Check the vibes, the vibes are off, the vibes aren't there."


What would you do to keep your sisters safe? The Hollow sisters are strange. As children, the Hollow sisters vanished into thin air and then reappeared one month later. They were different. But they were back. Now 10 years later the strangeness has started to seep back into the lives of the sisters. Grey, Vivi, and Iris are all beautiful with white hair and black eyes. All can do things. All are in danger. If you love dark fairytales that skew to horror then you will adore this. Filled with vivid descriptions that might make you squirm, House of Hollow redefines sisterhood and asks the question "what WOULDN'T you do for your sisters?"

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Ghosts of the Shadowmarket: Part 2: "Brother Let-him-see-my-rack-ariah."


ACOFAE is back in the Shadowmarket with Brother Zachariah and the time is the 2000's. If you've ever missed the characters from TMI and wanted a little more background then you are in luck. If you missed Tessa or Magnus you are in luck. If you read TDA and are ready to know more you are in luck. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE DARK ARTICIFES then maybe you aren't in luck. Join Brother Zachariah and ACOFAE as we journey through time and the stories that we know in a perspective that we don't. Brother Zachariah met Jace when he was a boy? He knew Raphael? The easter eggs are impeccable as are the names Lily spouts. They just come to her. What's your favorite?

Mentions: Supernatural, Star Wars, Dune
