What pairings are you looking to try your hand at this year?

definitely at least julia hart and skye blue. goth girls need to be gay together

hesitantly saying hangman and swerve. ending of dynamite gave me very large brain worms

theres probably others but these two are on the top of new things right now. also while they arent a new ship for me, i kind of want to get back to writing chris brookes and drew parker maybe. i feel like i could do them so much better now than i did months ago ough

Gimme a match rec!

i'm going to repeat this one from my other rec ask because it's just really great:

TJPW aquarium wrestling [watch link; and cagematch link]. they wrestle in an aquarium (where there's also normal visitors for some reason???) and there's shoot beluga whale interference. repeatedly. this show is SO funny.

and then for two more recs because i'm not sure if you've already seen either of them:

athena vs billie starkz at ROH final battle 2023 [watch link, use an adblocker, starts around 3:30:00; and cagematch link]. in terms of content warnings i don't remember if there are choking spots (don't see mentions of it on the cagematch page), athena has an orbital bone injury (idk if it's worked or not) and starts with a mask that she loses, and billie bleeds pretty early on in the match

mercedes moné vs mayu iwatani at stardom all-star grand queendom 2023 [watch link, starts around 4:09:00; and cagematch link]. this one has an english commentary version too!!! (including mariah may and chris charlton) watch link here, use an adblocker. bonus: you can read the translation of the in-ring post match comments on dana's website here (nakanotamu here on tumblr)

Girl power and gimmick

CASS 🫂🥳

girl power: my Mount Rushmore (it’s five instead of four 😹)

Gimmick: I’ll do gimmick matches again. I think I’m kind of over the stadium stampede/anarchy in the arena matches. Mostly because they are shot so poorly 😹 I think the novelty has worn off with me.

Thanks for the ask!!!

Favorite trope? What’s a cliche that you just love?

There's so many I enjoy and so many that I enjoy subverting a bit sometimes, too. Fake dating, Idiots in love, Enemies to friends to lovers, enemies to volatile lovers to friends to idiots in love to "oh thank god they finally fucking figured it out." Childhood friends to lovers. Missed connections who meet again at the exact right time. Found family. Those fluffy goodies with just the right sprinkling of angst to make the ending feel earned.

What are you hoping they do with Kip going forward in the next few months?

if they could just fucking feature him consistently in the programming and not once every month and a half that would be a great start ngl

but ideally they would do something with kip and ospreay, even if just to put them in a match together for starters. they obviously have a long history together and are friends, plus we could easily have it mean something a bit more with kip holding on record more wins over will than will does over him, so. thats a start. but ideally when will blows this whole don callis family thing apart and hopefully takes aussie open from them, we can then tack kip along with that and call it a day 💜

HELL YEAH. HE'S BRINGING BACK THE PLAYLISTS.

Hi! Do you guys have any gold textures/overlays for texts and shapes? I couldn’t find any in the resources. Thank you!

hey there! you might have some luck with this sparkly texture pack from elphantasmo (just put a gold fill or gradient layer over it!). and here are some specifically gold overlay/texture resources:

deviantart: gold texture (search results)

deviantart: gold overlay (search results)

deviantart: gold foil texture pack

deviant art: gold metallic texture

free pik: gold ink by denamorado

youtube: gold particles

youtube: gold light leaks

all of these are on black backgrounds so they're super easy to use as overlays/textures! and i think the deviantart search results should be really easy to clip onto shapes/text. enjoy!

Hi wrestling friends! With the holiday season nearing, you might be searching for the perfect gift for the wrestling fan in your life…or looking to treat yourself, whether with a shirt or commissioning a unique piece of art. I thought it may be helpful to compile a list of creators & small businesses within the Tumblr wrestling community, regardless of whether their products are wrestling related or not. 

Below you will find a graphic for seven creators from the Tumblr wrestling community, whose products vary from digital art to crocheted items. I’ve had the chance to get to know a lot of the creators featured & can say with utmost certainty that a lot of love is put into the products they create. There is something very special about ordering from small businesses & the personalized details they include, which big retailers seem to lack.  Understandably, I know not everyone is in a place to financially support, but a simple follow on social media can be such an incredible boost of confidence for creators & all reblogs of this post are beyond appreciated ✨
