Hello I’m Izze Span or theshawnDeer!
I’m an illustrator, writer, podcaster, game designer, voice actor, and wearer of many hats.
You may know me from my podcasts!
indie ttrpg actual play podcast set in a solar hopepunk sci-fantasy universe. We play a wide variety of different indie ttrpgs, ranging from high fantasy to horror, single player to 5 or 6 players, one pagers to massive novels of games. I’m one of the main cast of players and make much of the promotional material and artwork for it!
a Redwall reread podcast where one pagan and one Christian see what’s aged like fine strawberry wine, and what’s aged like milk. I’m one half of the duo that makes up this podcast (my other half being @kitsiinabox)
What happens when I get tired of hearing a specific kind of voice read SCPs and I decide I wanna do it. It’s just an SCP reading podcast. A nonbinary archivist is reading the scps for accessibility accommodations and has to deal with their air headed Director leaving them voice mails. I’m the voice actor and primary audio editor for this podcast.
currently unreleased fiction podcast that is in production. A scifi audio drama about two queer trans lesbian xenobiologists and their onboard AI on an exo-planet cataloguing new life and looking to make first contact with any sapient race that may inhabit the planet. Their journey will bring them closer together, but what will they discover along the way? Dr. Vela Remnant, alone on the planet’s surface. Dr. Elizabeth Pace, watching from the orbiting station. LUCIDITY, the AI trying to understand. And something watching from the shadows, learning. I am one of three authors, voice actors, and editors for this show. I voice Dr. Vela Remnant.
Currently unreleased fiction podcast that is in production. A lot’s changed and they live underwater. Coming soon, a Sci-fi survival podcast about the things we leave behind. Music survives Armageddon. I voice Naomi!
Or perhaps from my games on Itch.io?

tumblr really is just better for the comic format of posts that twitter or insta can never achieve
being able to arrange how the images are shown and having them post vertically instead of a 4 image format/scroll to next image set up is just god tier

no but seriously I still get chills thinking about turning off my headlamp in the cave and The Hand That I Did Not Actually See, and it’s been twelve years since it happened
it’s such an unreal experience
like
you turn off your light in a cave and wave your hand in front of your face
and
you can see this shadowy thing moving in the black space where your hand is
it looks like the same shadowy thing you would see in your room at night if you waved your hand in front of your face, it’s there and vaguely hand-shaped, and your brain recognizes it as your hand because your brain is aware of where your hand is and what it is doing
But You Are Not Seeing Anything
Inside a cave, there is No Light. No matter how far your pupils spread, there is no light for them to draw in, no light to put an image on your retina.
But your brain just Fucking Assumes that because it knows where your hand is and what it is doing, clearly it can see it.
So it creates a shadowy thing for your eyes to be seeing.
Brain is like “there’s a hand there”
Eyes are like “yup sure thing brain I can totally see it”
Brain is like “nice”
but there is no hand, you cannot see the hand, you are seeing a literal actual hallucination in the cave because your brain thinks it knows best
Caves are awesome, but also terrifying. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
we once went spelunking, and a our guide said that once he was in a cave with a stream, so he could hear running water, and his brain was like ‘oh, running water? that means there must be Ducks out there’. and he saw like…low light shadows of ducks. that his brain just Put There.
As a cave guide: we call that ‘cave blindness’! True darkness absolutely wigs your brain out - we’re such visual creatures that after a while our brain throws a hissy after not seeing anything. Sensory deprivation is a very real kind of torture. We have a huge, deep cave system at work and there are a lot of places where you’re hundreds of meters in solid rock in this tiny, dark, still space.
I like to turn my torch off, sit down with my back against the wall, and wait to see how long it takes before I start seeing things or feeling like the ground is moving, or hearing things. Because I know I’m not - I’m in complete darkness, utter silence, sitting in rock that hasn’t moved in hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
Proof that brains are Ridiculous and over-react to a lot of stuff!
I want to add to this that people who lose their hearing as adults have reported hearing music “being played loudly from somewhere”, and other auditory hallucinations, bc the brain will just panic and put your brain’s ipod on *fucking shuffle* if it’s not getting any input
