In the second episode of Love Art or Die, we introduce our co-host Biddy Fox (she/its) properly to the show. Bea talks to me about her immense body of work, and exploring non-humanness and furry symbolism in her music and art. Then, for her pitch, she brings me through the epic saga of the Star Wars Prequel Movies by Director George Lucas. She explains to me how, if the original trilogy (Episodes 4-6) were a response to the Vietnam War and presenting spirituality and revolution as the antidote to fascism, the prequel trilogy (Episodes 1-3) is a reaction to the Iraq War and the Bush administration; not modern nor postmodern, but a neoclassical work of art, a complete piece of "digital art." Also, Mace Windu is AWESOME and Palpatine did 9/11.

The artist-focused podcast, presented to you by the music collective MIDI Bunny. Cecily Renns and Biddy Fox are joined by a number of guests every week as they discuss the works of art that speaks to them the most, the works that have shaped who they are and remains the most important in their hearts.

In this first episode, we are joined by Stella (it/its), AKA the squeaky one. Web developer by day and fiction writer and graphics designer by night; Stella tells us about the furry/queer visual novel Lovely Lady RPG. In LLRPG, we follow Ghost, an amnesiac fiction writer who is trying to find purpose and reason without having any of her memories. Stella takes us through the story, introduces us to the characters you'll be meeting, and finally explains to us what the game means to it and how the game has changed who it is.

Tune in next episode, where I'll be joined solely by my co-host Bea!
