My playable characters that I play in the amazing Field of Asphodel choose your own adventure game. It is a comfort game for me. Just really relaxing and calming. I have a character for every romance route (Two with Hekate because I can’t resist her flirting while I date Hermes - yay poly option!).

I can’t wait for the full Blood of The Living sequel, but the demo is still very fun. Shoutout to @chrysanthemumgames for their amazing games and the support for their fans. Have a great Valentine’s Day.

Most people I know on tumblr don’t like wrestling.  I get it.  I didn’t at first, but have become a casual fan over time.  It is sort of like violent Cirque Du Soliel to me.  I love stage shows/acting.  I love looking at buff ladies.  I like people acting and dressing extra af.

AEW is the more ethical company (WWE has so many issues I could get into, but I won’t). There is a team for this company that I think even non-fans would appreciate.  Wholesome, silly, and talented.  Trust me - it has tumblr fandom energy. Let me introduce you to...

The Best Friends

Who is this group of besties?  Well, it started with two wrestlers.  Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta.  Both of them are wrestlers who tend to compete as a tag team.  Their gimmick?  Being best friends. One of their main ongoing things is to randomly hug each other during the match (well...when not interrupted by other wrestlers).  Trent’s mom also plays a part in the gimmick.  It’s very cute.

Chuck Taylor pulled in the third member, Orange Cassidy (his real life best friend and roommate).  Orange Cassidy has become incredibly famous. The whole persona he has is of someone who doesn’t care.  His two bubbly besties, Chuck and Trent, will hug this cool Fonz-esque guy.  Three besties. 

Orange Cassidy is also incredibly talented.  Scary talented.  Say what you will about wrestling.  Is it scripted? Yes.  Does it still take intense athletic ability? If you do it right.  Orange Cassidy does it right.  Just watch this dude.  His abs must hurt like Hell (also ignore that the Best Friends dressed like Rick and Morty)

Now...I said that I like Wrestling has buff ladies.  While not the buffest woman in wrestling... Kris Statlander is still pretty great. Her gimmick before her ACL injury was to be “The Galaxy’s Greatest Alien” given that she is a science nerd. They dropped the gimmick for a more serious character, but she still plans to incorporate her own nerdiness here and there...Hopefully she can heal and eventually come back soon.

My current favorite member is Danhausen.  He could go the the typical creepy goth dude route...but he didn’t. He describes his character as “Conan O’Brian possessed by a demon”.  Dude is weird.  Like really weird.  And I love him. Even a wrestling reviewer, Jim Cornette, who hates gimmick wrestling admitted to liking Danhausen initially.  He is “Very Nice, Very Evil”.  He wrestles, puts curses on people, and does interviews with other wrestlers. He was in a tag team once with wrestler named, Hook, which people called Hookhausen...which is just...very tumblr shipping worthy.

There is also the past member Wheeler Yuta, who I don’t know as much about admittedly.  But from what I’ve seen - He is lovely.

It’s still an abusive relationship (only in a cartoon-y villain way obviously)...but like...

So I watched “Inventing Anna” about the Anna “Delvey” Sorokin and I also read the article from Vanity Fair article “ Inventing Anna Is a “Dangerous” Distortion, Says Rachel Williams”https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/02/inventing-anna-delvey-netflix-real-rachel-williams.  Rachel Williams was portrayed as disloyal and a “user” on the show while Anna’s other friends are shown as simply being drawn in by charisma.  I wondered why she would be portrayed as the only person in Anna’s circle who “took advantage” of a rich friend (ignoring the irony that Anna literally is the one actually taking advantage of people - poor and rich alike).  Why is Rachel being portrayed as a user in a bad way but Anna is portrayed as a user in a sexy way?

I also read the interview with her old friend Neff Davis who is the only one of her old friends still on her side.  This is what shed to light on Rachel’s portrayal to me.  Neff consulted on the show.  The original reporter also helped make the show.  Which REALLY explains the glamorizing of Anna and making her look like such a genius when there is no real proof she was one to the degree she wants to be seen as one.  Why they glamorized how she looked, acted, dressed, and made her seem like a twisted genius.  Also blamed her parents who are just working class people who there is no evidence did anything wrong.

I don’t mind conning rich people.  Fuck the rich.  Eat the rich.  They are garbage.  I love me a good guillotine.  But how Anna treated service workers and non-wealthy friends like Rachel is pretty gross tbh.  The show has been called out by everyone (Even Anna - despite her still using the money to pay her court fees).  There are dumb perspectives here.  The reporter and Anna are just...two shallow characters tbh who the show tries and fails to make us sympathize with.  Idk.  I liked the show.  But I find the way characters are portrayed to be largely fictional.  I’m taking it all with a grain of salt.  It is a show that glamorizes Anna to give her the fame that she wants and that also give reporter, Jessica Pressler, a chance to further save her own reputation after the  Mohammed Islam debacle...

Junior is the worsssst (as a person…not as a character)

Main reason is that Junior from the series is a big time dumb idiot. He is manipulated by Chucky using two lies: one is that his dad cheating led to his moms suicide and the other is that his cousin leads to death/destruction. Add to this that he was mad because he assumed his cousin, gf, and devin were leaving him out by lying about Chucky

Then after he killed his father with Chucky, he had all of those lies confirmed to be lies. Chucky said that all the deaths were his fault when he told Junior that he didn’t pussy out of murder like his cousin. He introduced Junior to his dad’s “girlfriend“. He confirmed that the trio was right by existing which means they DID honestly try to include him but he didn’t believe them.

Not only is he an idiot for the reasons above, but him killing Chucky doesn’t make up for his shit at all. Just before that he lured a girl who loved him with intentions to kill her if she rejected him. A girl who was willing to risk her life for him.

He dated her while she was still being a terrible bitch, mocking the death of his own uncle, tormenting his cousin, and flirting around with other guys. All this wasn’t a line in the sand for him. But his gf hanging with other people besides him (including his own cousin that he wanted her to be nicer toward anyway). He was fine with her maliciously insensitive bullying, but not with her existing outside of him. Borderline incel shit.

he is a traumatized kid… but also so was I. So were a lot of people I know. He has school shooter spoiled light skin rich boy energy. His character is interesting, but his death was one I looked forward to.

also: my boyfriend wants to add that Junior as a actual name for his grave and not as a Logan Jr makes him annoyed.

Remembering the time that @grohiik-sil ran a tabletop campaign where powers were connected to appearance and personalities where I played as a healer.  And I didn’t know what a healer would look like so I made a seven foot tall wooly marsupial with a lady face and hands since I was considering both the Aunt Beast from A Wrinkle in Time and the internal fantasy scene in Scrubs where JD imagined comforting a lady with a room of cottonballs.  So why not a big wooly ladybeast?  Turns out she isn’t comforting at all and actually is terrifying which is why I powered her with the ability to make people feel calm or love or sleep.

She had literally no fighting ability.  At all.  Despite being seven foot tall.  And while I played her as severely anxious and reclusive - she was also the only fairly reasonable adult on the team so she somehow often became the party leader.  Despite having severe anxiety due to being raised in isolation her whole life.  And the love power frequently having to be used to make villains fall in love with her to keep the party safe despite her being aromantic and asexual.

In the first fight she was set up to be pretty damn useless...or so I thought.  She couldn’t fight right?  Well we fought some fucking trees made of butterflies that attacked us.  Should have been easy but every other party member was a band of chaotic messes who weren’t achieving anything.  The pyromaniac child in the group set fire to a tree for instance and was just watching it burn instead of fighting.

My character had to straight up copy  the scene where Desire kills Delirium’s butterflies in the Sandman comics.  I made the butterflies fall in love with the firey tree and won the whole battle...
