Podcast Summary – Shockwaves: Chapter 2 – Prospectus
Welcome back to Shockwaves, the official aftershow for Stellar Shock. In this episode, Jess and Arthur dissect Chapter Two: Prospectus, the brutal, breathless descent into war-torn Tuitoma. What begins with sweaty shirts and cracked fences ends in smoke, blood, and silence—and Arthur holds nothing back.
We explore the relentless detail of a village barely holding together before the enemy even arrives. From the scuffed sandals of barefoot kids to a sword too cursed to lift, Chapter Two is where tension transforms into open conflict—and where survival becomes the only kind of victory anyone gets.
Arthur opens up about his inspirations, his refusal to flinch from pain, and why there’s no room for heroes in a place where every patched roof is a prayer. We get into:
The slow-burn dread of Tuitoma’s daily life
Why violence in this world is confusing, ugly, and always leaves scars
The complicated love between Ser and Ward, and how legacy is both a weapon and a wound
The Black Sword as symbol, curse, and silent witness
The fight that rips through the rain—and why no one cheers after
There’s no fantasy gloss here. Just mud, cracked ribs, and the iron will to see morning.
As Arthur puts it: “Hope is what you carry because you don’t have a choice.” And in Prospectus, every choice cuts.
Standout lines:
“Still here.” – The mantra of survival.
“You don’t get to choose your moment.” – Ser’s hard truth.
“No one cheered. No one called it a victory.” – Because it wasn’t.
Join us as we dig through aftermath, memory, and what it means to hold the line when everything’s already burning. And send us your questions—next week, we unpack what’s left when the smoke clears.
Shockwaves—no glory, just grit.
