  Love Unscripted | Two Guys, One Girl, Zero Good Choices

  Aug 28, 202537 minS0

  <p>Love triangles: that razor-thin line between heart-pounding drama and the literary equivalent of soggy toast. In our new episode, Tim & LeeAnna dig into why so many writers trip over plot holes, pace their story like a three-legged race, and expect readers to cheer for ‘Team Bland’ vs. ‘Team Blander.’ Spoiler: your audience deserves better. Let’s talk about how to actually make triangles burn with tension instead of collapsing into cliché.</p> <p>As ever, Alchemy is ad-free, because who needs an ad for the next Netflix teen love triangle when you’re busy untangling your own?</p> <p>Nadira Goffe’...

  Love Unscripted | Not Your Troy, Not Your Heaven (part 1)

  Aug 7, 202537 minS0

  <p>What if the woman you love isn’t yours to save, to burn, or to beg? What if your dreams were never her destination?</p> <p>In this Alchemy episode, Tim & LeeAnna dive into the first of two of Yeats’s most emotionally raw poems – No Second Troy and He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven – to explore the wreckage of unrequited love, the fine line between worship and resentment, and why offering your dreams might not be enough when she’s already burning down cities.

  Certified: Not A Mess

  Jul 31, 202539 minS0

  <p>Dating’s chaotic. So what if there were… standards? Like actual, published, reviewable standards. In this episode, Tim launches his idea of a “Dating Passport” – complete with Contracts of Integrity for Men and Women. LeeAnna reacts to Tim’s “Contract for Women of Integrity,” with an eyebrow raised so high it leaves orbit, and accuses Tim (lightheartedly, we hope) of sailing dangerously close to being cancelled. What follows is a no-holds-barred takedown, rewrite, and reimagination of what it would mean to be a Certified Human in the Dating Universe. Spoiler: gendered assumptions are out, and universal decency is in. It’s fun, it’s s...
