Love and Chickspace

We asked the questions that actually matter in Love and Deepspace this week: Does Xavier need to fire his stylist? Is Zayne's myth a crime against MC? And can Caleb pull off an apron, Squirtle glasses, and knee-high green boots all at once? Spoiler: he can.Mama Void and Nikki Tea spiral through a full outfit-crime audit of the boys' new looks — crushed velvet Xavier, lapel crimes, the K-pop era of Rafayel, and the crowning jewel: Caleb as the Riddler?! Then we go full lore-dive into Zayne's Master of Fate myth and why Mama is genuinely mad about it, the theory that we're all stuck in an infinite cycle of iterations with MC as the "aberrant" driving it, and whether Rafayel is THE Sea God or just A Sea God.Plus: figging (please don't look it up), a newly adopted koala named Aldee, Vex the Keeper of the Unholy, white pants promises, and a very unhinged birthday stream plan.This is Love and Chickspace — smart, unhinged, industry-savvy Love and Deepspace commentary from two besties who have been arguing about games for 25+ years.🔔 Subscribe for weekly Love and Deepspace podcast episodes + clips 💜 Join memberships to unlock Chickspace After Dark + support the chaos 🎙️ Full podcast on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple PodcastsTIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro chaos: cat ears, Daddy Sylus, and Stacey's PR team1:24 We adopted a koala!
