When you try to explain roller derby, it seems the first thought is that everyone’s a hardnut and all we want to do is maim each other, (we do, but only a little bit). But I’ll never quite believe the kindness and patience I’ve been shown by the team.

This has been said so many times, but it’s never saying “don’t be a wuss”.

It’s saying:

We’re your people.

Take up space.

Do your thing.

Have patience and keep trying.

Now get back up, hit me and don’t apologise for it 🤣

This has been said at training so many times that I had to draw it out. I may even have to print it and stick it up💖 I’d love to eventually draw all the good and funny advice I’ve ever been given whilst skating.

Two new(ish) faces for the Midnight Shift: Lilli Bernstein and JR Mason. Bernie is a total newcomer, but Mason kind of evolved from Jason. The rhyming name is an unfortunate coincidence - it was surprisingly hard to pick a name for him, and I’m still open to suggestions.

💀Shrieks profanities when surprised or excited

In my plaguey little interlude I’ve been using my time constructively and rewatching the BBC Musketeers and I reckon it’s time damned well spent, most of all for listening to my mum cackle at the sassy punchlines and finally getting round to creating fanart nearly a decade late.
