About this listen
Welcome to Shockwaves, the official aftershow breakdown for Stellar Shock! Hosts Jess and Arthur dig deep—literally and thematically—into Chapter 1: Demesne, where the world of Afirit comes to life through sweat, soil, and splinters.
They unpack Ser Sarrafin’s quiet strength, the relentless routine of Tuitoma’s survival, and how magick—or the lack of it—shapes power and purpose. From the rough loyalty of Ser’s chaotic friends to the heartwarming arrival of young Rolen and his busted carrot-puller invention, the episode explores how small moments carry big meaning.
Jess and Arthur break down everything from Ser’s complex relationship with magick to the subtle warnings of danger drifting in from upriver. They discuss the brutal realism of work without reward, the unspoken tension of village politics, and how humor, mentorship, and stubbornness keep the people of Tuitoma moving forward—even as shadows begin to circle.
This is Stellar Shock at its most grounded: no heroes, no prophecies—just dirt, duty, and the quiet, defiant hope of people who refuse to break.
