The House in the Cerulean Sea - Don't You Wish You Were Here?

As V.E. Schwab puts it, "like being wrapped in a big gay blanket". That's how we like to think about our podcast, too.This episode we talked about what we loved, liked, and loved some more. And what's with all the stories about a child being the antichrist? If we had two nickels for every time two gay men saved the world with the power of unconditionally loving an antichrist child... we'd have two nickels, but still, weird that it happened twice.
