God, I just listened to Armies of the Lord by @themountaingoats.bsky.social for the first time and the first ~30 seconds remind me so much of some modded Celeste OST. I’m getting Strawberry Jam vibes but I can’t fully place which track, maybe a heartside?

Since I caught Dynamite late I got to skip a majority of the ad breaks, but that’s fuckin revolting that HBO aired ICE ads. Glad they’re being publicly called out by someone who’s not only got a platform but was involved in the show it was aired during.

DCF has gained two new folks, so like maybe they could handle losing one soon. I really wanna see a Takeshita face turn and this feud with Okada could be a perfect time for it. It’d be funny if he wins the IWGP match and then immediately drops Don Callis when he’s next back in AEW.

Wait so commentary clowns on Speedball every time they’re in a match bc he wrestles barefoot, but no one bats an eye when Marina Shafir does it? Double standards lmao #AEW

This is a tornado mixed tag match and the most built up beef that existed before was between Stat and Yuta. Why had this match (so far) been almost entirely the men vs each other and the women vs each other :/ I hope it doesn’t stay that way for the rest of the match #AEW

Bandido PICKED UP Brody King, holy shit?? #AEW

Had a great discussion at my book club tonight. Picked up some spicy chicken for dinner and gonna catch the anniversary ep of AEW that’s bound to be a banger. Good Wednesday I’d say.

I’m being distracted from the book I’m reading… by the font it’s printed in. The capital H is just so wide looking. After some digging, I think it’s Adobe Jenson Pro. Why am I so focused on this letter and not the content of the book? Wish I knew. Book’s good so far though; Vampires of El Norte 💙📚

When I tell you I yelled when Will Ospreay did Mick Foley’s “bang bang” in the steel cage match with Fletcher from Revolution.

Learned the hard way that the amount of stitches I chose to get the right length on this shirt I’m crocheting leaves me working with a fuckin prime number. I figured out a workaround for the lace repeat multiple but god, I am never working with a prime number again.

I see a lot of folks responding to that shitty AEW take by saying to fuck up any nazis at their shows. While yes, 100% do that, I also think it’s important to set straight the folks who are less evil assholes? Being anti-abortion is absolutely shitty but it’s not the same as being a *literal* nazi.

I hear someone say that they don’t know who Clippy is and I (jokingly) say “damn, I feel old.” Well come to fuckin find out, this person is older than me. Five years older than me and she doesn’t know who Clippy is? *Sad paperclip noises*

These IWGP World and Global Heavyweight matches are gonna rock. I will absolutely be tuning in because of them. Takeshita with that belt 🤌

A coworker brought up Alice Isn’t Dead (the book) and so I’ve started listening to the podcast. I’m starting to believe Joseph Fink’s works are incomplete without a reference to The Mountain Goats, and I love that for him. (cont’d)

Perrin Aybara in The Shadow Rising: #WheelOfTime

Just saw my drive in is doing a Beetlejuice/Rocky Horror double feature next weekend, and I’m pumped Creature of the night indeed

It seems like my search for gender studies/feminist theory written by women (cis or trans) that doesn’t frame masculinity and/or men as inherently toxic continues. What manhood is and what misogynistic structures want to portray manhood as & encourage it to be are not the same thing.

I love how Jon Moxley is just this unhinged man who’s always stalking around like a caged animal but every so often a gesture or expression comes through and you can tell he’s also this happy-go-lucky fella. Perhaps even a bit girlie pop as the kids would say

Whoever created the hot toddy; I owe my life to you. Not a big drinker but this shit is just cozy vibes in a mug.

Hmm. What to do with these last dregs of my weekend? Make a hot toddy, read some theory, and watch a few matches from AEW Revolution? Sounds like a plan.

I do not know Dalton Castle but I am very excited by whatever is going on here #AEW

Not only the tag belts but blood and guts too? Rad and deserved #AEW

I’m so glad Komander is back. I remember seeing one match with this dude and instantly knowing I’d love him. Also I like that Fletcher’s gear has had bits of red in it recently. If he can’t make the belt pink to match him, he can be a lil red to match it :) #AEW

To the fan at ringside with the “Rednecks for Trans Rights” sign, I see you 💙🏳️‍⚧️ #AEW

Catching #AEWCollision late, Brodido and Kenny vs DCF is gonna be so fun

Man, I think I gotta stop reading nothing published or blurbed by Eric LaRocca. I simply do not jive with the structure of their writing and evidently at this point also the writing of those he’s endorsed. All to say A Game in Yellow could have been great, but was painfully mid in execution. 💙📚

Exposure therapy (Forcing myself to eat water chestnuts until the texture no longer makes my skin crawl)

Got a local coffee and beer place, picked up a bag of their fall special beans that have notes of apple, pecan, and maple and I’m living my best fuckin life over here with this shit. It is so tasty.

TOO MANY BOOKS NOT ENOUGH TIME

Came home from work, did some of my silly little tasks, and then played modded minecraft for the rest of the night with an old stream vod on with the window cracked to let in the sound of the rain outside. Immaculate vibes.

Moxley's big stupid grin is amazing, he's 100% not done with her and he's happy to see her doing exactly what he asked, not letting anyone tell her who she is or what she's worth. Including him! Who's up stating their lander rn? #wrestlesky #aew

Last quick thought, I think it’d be funny if Stat kept using the seatbelt including on Yuta himself (I forget if AEW has the stupid rules for intergender matches, but rules be damned if so). Steal his move, use it better than him, rub it in his face for shits n gigs :)

Finished a collection that had a story that left a bad taste in my mouth, watched a banger of an AEW episode, and now to read more of a book that has potential but has been thoroughly mid thus far. Looks like I’ve got the good, the bad, & the ugly of media this evening 🤷‍♂️

You know what I love about this? It was the way he smiled on and off throughout. I read it not as dismissing her but as this gleeful realization that she is SO CLOSE to getting it (in his eyes). She is reaching her potential, and it's exactly what he wants for AEW long-term. 🤼

GO STAT GO THATS OUR GIRL #AEW

Has Yuta genuinely just been coming in to say “Do my move” over and over again? Like Stat has already won with it, i think she gets the gist bud 😂 Also, her protecting Harley when the DR music hits for Mox to come in? :,) #AEW

WOMENS TAG BELTS HELL YEAH #AEW

Orange Cassidy was in the match that introduced me to AEW, it’s so good to see him in the ring again. I’m also glad to see Kyle taking initiative and not having Don basically be his mouthpiece. Still got hopes for soon(ish) face-turns for him n Takeshita.

Don Callis can only name one painter confirmed. Also hi OC :) #AEW

Give me a trios match with FTR and Stoke vs Jetspeed and Willow #AEW

“Mina; close personal friend of Toni Storm” Ahh yes, the GalPal-ification of Toni and Mina #AEW

Stat, Brodido, and Hanger all having matches asap after All Out is great. Also the barking for little dog Bandido? Love it. #AEW

Crying while cooking dinner so you know it’s gonna be good AKA making french onion soup 🧅

2h of sleep bc my body has decided to break. Would be cool if I could actually sleep considering I was otherwise able to sleep in today but yk, whatever I guess.

A family member dropped off homemade meatballs and pita (pita… adjacent) bread. Made a meatball sub out of it and now feel ill. Wonderful.

Got a youtube vid in my recommended that’s just a dude n his boyfriend going book shopping for 20 minutes. Now that’s the kind of content I’m here for :)

I think this book is asking me to believe that an unknowable cosmic horror (specifically, The King in Yellow play) is somehow gonna fix this woman’s sex life?? I read that A Game in Yellow by Hailey Piper was influenced by the above. I did not, however, expect this 😂 💙📚

Started reading The Game in Yellow by Hailey Piper today and as a result, that was all I could think about when Darby started asphyxiating Mox with the bag.

Bandido should be mentioned just as much as Kyle Fletcher and any other recent breakout star as a future AEW Men's World Champion
