When Bernard first started making YouTube videos about vigilantes and rogues, he did it under the assumption that his viewers would uphold the Sacred Oath of RPF. As in, his viewers would not share his videos with the less-than-discerning public, anyone featured in the video would ignore the existence of such videos, and the world would go on.
In which Bernard is an avid member of the Superman and Batman RPF side of tumblr, Kon thinks convincing his favorite RPF writer and video essayist to post weird stories about Superman is the only way to avoid murdering him, and Tim is definitely not alvin-and-the-chipmen, a popular fanart blog for Batman and co.
note:i highly recommend looking at this work in "full work" instead of chapter-by-chapter for this work skin!
[whispers] there's static under Lex's voice in this call because Superboy uses his 3DS somehow to call people and use discord. don't question it, i sure didn't!
me, last chapter: static because kon is on his 3ds editing this chapter: "kon's phone" me: goDDAMMIT (but also bernard says kon has terrible service so this is fine)
Little things I adored in this chapter: - kon picking "conner" because it means "lover of wolves," which reminds me of young justice <3 - trans bruce trans bruce trans bruce (but brought up SO naturally!!) - just. everything with lex and balding.
threw on the audio file for the author's notes / podficcers notes as an additional chapter (instead of linking them in the podfic end notes) because why not? hoebiwan's chapter notes are GOLDEN and deserve to be heard imo

Thank you to opalsong for providing this modified work skin for posting WIPs with! Credits for the base are linked in the post; I made further changes to it as well ~
AND THANK YOU TO MY BELOVED HOEBIWAN FOR WRITING ME THIS FOR FTH AND THEN FOR ELANY FOR HOSTING POLY PODWEEK SO I CAN SHARE IT :D
You can also find all audio files on Google Drive (after I am done posting, of course ~)
Ok i know i've mentioned this before but your narration has gotten so smooth like you've really developed into an audiobook narrator!!
I love love love all the sound effects. The discord notif sounds took me out 😂😂😂 also the song choices were so fun
The way you read everyone's voices had just enough differences for them to feel individual but still felt very you which i like a lot in podfics and audiobooks! I love how nonchalantly you read some of the insane things bernard says too 😭 this is just his life. rip realberniesanders
Also i am once again sorry for all my punctation marks (mainly the question marks) i made you read one by one 😂😂😂😂
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MWAH!!!! im kissing you haha no homo. Unless... 👀
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH i'm so gay 4 u (platonic maybEEEEEEE lmao what)
but !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was like "oh nO WHAT IF DARRIN HATES THIS SONG?" and then was like "...but would kon?" because we gotta put the baby first and he was probably BOP to this
and big dkjdfhgklsrhgl to the question mark thing because i very much didn't do it in chapter 2 bc there wasn't any like.... standalone question marks. consistency? me? naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
i'm so glad you like it eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [adds to resume] hoebiwan on ao3 says i can narrate audiobooks so you should hire me
*keyboard smash* (my phone won’t let me do an actual keyboard smash)! This was so so so good! I was bopping my head to the music. Be prepared you’ll probably get tired of my comments because thanks to you I’ll listen to a lot of dcu podfics
Ok ok ok so kbirb I just finished listening to the podfic (yes that includes the podficer notes) and 1) this is a gem I died of laughter so many times listening to this 2) your podficer notes sound a lot like how my brain thinks a sleep deprived Tim would sound when he rambles. All the kudos seriously the is gold (how did you even record this without cracking up?).
