Hyperfixation: A Queer Fandom Podcast

Three family members of varying levels of queerness and with varying fandom interests gather to discuss their hyperfixations and fleeting passions. We started as Briikasak: A Mandalorian Podcast at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but have expanded to general fandoms, commenting with a queer perspective.

    A Strange and Stubborn Endurance

    Cal makes the Hyperfixation gang talk about A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows from 2022, a fantasy romance with the most trigger warnings. Marika and Bret find the audiobook bad, there is a rather violence rape rather early on, but eventually the books gets to good queer world building and fun fanfic troupes. Trigger Warning: Rape, sexual assault, and suicidal ideationsEpisodes We Mention:X-Men: Marauders (2019)A Day of Fallen of NightInterview with the VampireDragon Age: The Ma...

    A Day of Fallen Night

    After mentioning The Priory of the Orange Tree about 100 times, Marika makes the gang talk about A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon, the other Roots of Chaos series book. We are here, we are queer, we are raising kids, and we are fighting wyrms. There are numerous sapphics, an ace/aro character, and some background gay bois.

    Dragon Age: The Masked Empire

    The gang talks about Dragon Age: The Masked Empire, the tie-in book for Inquisition that also includes a lot of the lore that appears in Veilguard. This series is good at morally grey characters and interesting lesbians. Celene might be the average mainstream American Democrat at the moment and it makes all of us sad.MAJOR spoilers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard (because Bret wouldn't shut up).Episodes We Mention:Dragon Age: Tevinter NightsDragon Age: InquisitionDragon Age: Redemption and Abso...

    Queerness in Xena: Warrior Princess Season 3 Part 2 (of 4)

    The Hyperfixation gang returns to Xena for some terrible ancient Chinese mysticism, but also a lot of very textual queerness in the two-parter "The Debt." Marika loves these episodes and Lao Ma despite all these problems. Cal is uncomfortable with the Asian mysticism and Bret had finally deiced to stop caring about history because it's Xena.

    Kaos

    The wine appears, Cal's outline wanes, the family devolves, and chaos reigns! We talk about Kaos, the star-filled, pretty queer, already cancelled Netflix show that you probably haven't watched. It's good, but it would have been much better with other seasons.

    Castlevania: Nocturne Season 1

    The gang chats about Castlevania: Nocturne Season 1, a more diverse and slightly queerer entry into the Castlevania Netflix franchise. The animation is great. Everyone has childhood trauma. And we feel old about everyone being teenagers.

    Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights

    Continuing with Cal and Bret's excitement for Dragon Age: The Veilguard's release, we read most of the 2020 book Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights. Dorian and Mae make a cameo, we have fun with the Antivan Crows and a terrible time on The Wigmaker Job, and talk a lot about Soulless. Minor spoilers for Veilguard.Episodes We Mentioned:Dragon Age: InquisitionBaldur's Gate 3: The StorytellingDragon Age: Redemption and AbsolutionQueerness in Xena: Warrior Princess Season 1Iceman (2018)

    Dragon Age: Redemption and Absolution

    In anticipation of Dragon Age: The Veilguard coming out, we talk about two Dragon Age shows. The 2011 web series Dragon Age: Redemption, starring Felicia Day and Doug Jones (what?!), is so cringe Bret and Marika almost died. The 2022 Netflix series Dragon Age: Absolution is so great and queer that we love it and want the characters to appear in Veilguard.TW: Child abuse, sexual assault, domestic violenceEpisodes We Mentioned:Carmilla: The Web SeriesDragon Age: InquisitionCastlevania: The Netf...
