Brief Personality: Mags is at her best entertaining people. Whether it’s on a street corner with a guitar, in front of a computer playing games with friends, or setting up story-arcs for her pro-wrestling persona, she’s confident and knows how to work a crowd to her advantage. Call her an entertainer, or a con artist, it’s all the same to her. She is completely capable of holding herself as a professional adult and can snip and snide her way through a PTA with the best of them, despite her age. Given the choice, however, she’d prefer to drop into a back-alley accent- although it always seems to be from a different area, with a frankly outrageous mix of slang terms from every city she’s ever been to- and showing her rough background with pride. CW: Magpie had a really fucked up childhood. TW for Child abuse and child trafficking.

Brief Backstory: Born into a family that valued appearances over all else, ****** had a rough start. Her parents married more because they thought it would look nice than the fact that they loved, or even liked, each other. The abuse started young and continued until a teacher in her elementary school reported mysterious injuries to CPS, who conducted an investigation and found nothing wrong, then continued until she was seven. ******, upon watching an episode of Full House that touched on abuse and connecting that to the weird social services lady that Mom said to lie too, came to a realization that what was happening might not be normal. She ran away two weeks later, on the last day of school. She simply got off the bus at the wrong stop and started walking.

                ****** miraculously survived a few weeks on the street before Tom and a few of his buddies found her beneath a park bench. Their first approach was to ‘scare her straight’ and take her home, but they quickly realized that the little girl was clearly more afraid of her parents than them, and eventually got her to admit that she had been abused and CPS Would do nothing about it. Not knowing what else to do and refusing to leave a seven year old alone on the streets, they took her in. They also eventually picked up on the fact that she flinched every time they called her name and started trying out nicknames, eventually settling on Magpie. After a few months, Tom clocked onto the fact that he wasn’t in the best crowd, as someone had given Mags a hit of something and taught her how to pick pockets. He figured that was probably bad. He jumped ship and took Mags with him to work with Mouse and Todd.                 By the time Magpie was ten, Laney had also joined the group, and the two had become best friends. Laney had the whole horror thing going on, and Mags had learned that if she gave Crows scraps they’d follow her and give her things. Everything culminated in the two of them “haunting” an abandoned house for a month straight and Magpie ‘accidentally’ teaching a murder of crows to divebomb people when she whistled. Luckily for them, the only responsible figures around at the time was a 13-year-old Mouse and 14-year-old Todd, who both thought that was hilarious. The two of them also developed a surprisingly good street magic routine, raising money for “Unhoused Youth in the Local Area” and spewing off statistics if asked- they just never elaborated that the unhoused youth in question was them the whole time.  The two learned how to escape handcuffs and zipties as part of the act, which came in handy a little while later.

Mags was 15 when she learned about her little sister, a two year old named Ruth, living in the same abusive home she had grown up in. She let herself get caught and returned to her parents custody, where she was beaten, starved, and abused. Mags kept herself between her parents and her sister, taking over the childcare as much as she could and doing everything she could to make sure her parents were never left alone with Ruth.  Her parents spread rumors about her through the PTA; they had high standing in a lot of local communities and used that to discredit their daughter as a lost cause who constantly started fights and lied habitually. They did everything they could to be the victims of the story, doing their best for a child who had “gone through so much” and “was really good, deep down” as they undermined her whole life. They put her in wrestling school as an excuse for the bruises. The school graded her lower than the other kids and she got detention nearly every day, no matter what she did.  She managed to make friends with the smarter/nerdier kids by protecting them from bullies.

 Magpie had planned to sue for custody of Ruth when she turned 18, but life threw a wrench in the works. Her parents beat her and slammed her face into the kitchen counter, nearly killing her. A neighbor called the police, thinking it was a robbery, and they were caught red handed. Mags spent 16 days in a coma before waking up and exposing her parents abuse- she’d taken some advice and documented everything that had happened in the past three years. She managed to get a small apartment with the money she got suing for mental and physical damages, and custody of her sister. She worked part time at a barber shop for a while and started doing basic jobs in the pro wrestling community.

Now, Mags’ wrestling career is picking up and she’s moved to Japan with her sister to pursue it. She keeps in touch with the other streetrats by playing online games with them and doing watch parties of all the shows they missed in their childhoods. They started streaming so they could play together and connect with other friends all around, but that started picking up and now they’re making some good income from Twitch as well.

[beatricebat]

Based on an ask from @felineverdures, I spent way too long coming up with headcanons about Attack On Titan characters as modern wrestlers. First up, making her way to the ring is…

Mikasa Ackerman

Background

Out here in the real world, wrestling wasn’t even an event at the 1900 Olympic Games. In my AU, the Ackerman brothers dominated both the medals table and the press coverage. Afterwards, they came to America and were big stars. The Ackerman clan has produced any number of wrestlers since, both in pro wrestling and legit competitive wrestling. Kenny was a popular dastardly heel in the 80s and 90s; Levi has just retired after dominating the Junior Heavyweight scene his whole career (fun fact: he was the only Junior to ever win the G1 Climax), leaving Mikasa as the last working scion.

The First Among Equals

Mikasa works for Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA). She gets offers from AEW and WWE all the time, but she doesn’t think either of those companies would be a good fit for her. Mikasa doesn’t need the money and she doesn’t want the fame, she just wants to do work she can be proud of. She was the first female winner of any number of championship belts traditionally held by men, and has been a dominating force in promoting both intergender and women’s wrestling in America. She nearly always has one belt or another round her waist.

Mikasa wrestles under her own mononym, usually styled MIKASA. People assume it’s because she’s trying to distance herself from the Ackerman name, but it’s actually because she was trying to emulate a popular style amongst Japanese wrestlers. Despite that, Mikasa doesn’t actually work a lot in Japan. She doesn’t speak Japanese and she thinks the joshi look down on her for that.

The online discourse around Mikasa is tiresome. Any time someone says “Who’s the best wrestler who’s never worked for WWE?” her name comes up within five minutes, and then a bunch of assholes pile in with opinions they’ve copied from Jim Cornette to pooh-pooh her achievements.

Mikasa is, however, one of the best fucking wrestlers in the world, period. She wears fairly plain black gear, with her red scarf as the only thing she usually wear on the way to the ring. For big PPV matches, she’ll sometimes wear a fancy pink cloak or robe, but for some reason people never associate pink with her the way they do red and black.

[stackslip]

you read up a bit on 80s joshi and you really begin to understand the affirmation that 75% of cool pro wrestling moves and tropes were invented by japanese female wrestlers from the 70s to 90s

[tsunflowers]

Re: Female led tokusatsu - I remember a short series called Rosetta the Masked Angel that might have been made to flesh out the backstory of a female Japanese pro wrestler, sort of like Tiger Mask or Jushin Thunder Liger. Whether it’s any good, I can’t say because I’ve yet to watch it. But it did end up on Laser Disc format, so that has to count for something about the popularity, considering how pricey those things are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've heard of this one but I don't know much about it. I feel like I remember someone I know watching it and disliking it? but I can't remember why that was so it might have been a matter of taste

Love You All,

-Kay

[fagcrisis]

correction this isnt stage fighting its professional wrestling!

also fun fact, joshi wrestlers (japanese female pro wrestlers) start training at a very young age so haruka here is not an outlier

This is so cute I love it when athletes pretend to be equally matched to a little kid

Background: this is stage fighting! No one was seriously hurt. The girls name is Hakura, a child wrestler who is now retired.

[drisk30]

Lean sexy Asian girls fight, and one has her back brutally tortured....

[sketchfanda]

so some fun and odd facts and details about some of the crew,starting with naz.She’s very flexible to contortionist levels,enjoys yoga,and often has muscle tone like this.

On top of her ink work we have rocking an dark skin tan ala Japanese gyaru and were especially inspired by famous gravure model and cosplayer nonsummerjack and most recently taken to having have one hell of an ass like av star bella bellz and jay marvel’s artwork, though nahla monroe is especially her ideal model of thiccness,curves and tone

senia is my buddy's girl,and we've been due an overdue visual update for her

in terms of her details,we've her rock black hair,violet as seen here,and snow white and a few body shape basis like jade cargill.chino's main basis in life and manga are martyn ford and scar from fma with gaoh from eyeshield 21,doc has a singing voice on par with david draiman from disturbed.doc also has blood red eyes and black sclera like in the image below,giving hima scary look overall which contrasts with his personality. he's also got a bit of orange cassidy in him. and slate greyish skin colour akin to The castlevania vampires like godbrand,hades and teen Titans raven. If I hadn’t said before his appearance gives off a vampire vibe in contrast to his laidback self.ut esp key details,he lacks a nose ala krillin and the human char design in oban star racers. sharp shark teeth ala kirishima and tetsutetsu,vampire stylecanines and his most notable face shape and design is epic osmosis jones villain,thrax.bodyshape build too as well as yasuhiro's nightow's char design style.wide broad shoulders,imposing height,not skinny beanpole but not too built to come off like a meat tank.imposing,intimidating but a charmer overall,also rocks a nice pair of raybans shades like shades from luke cage.and of course,tattoos on his arms,back,front and face and neck,especially the back and sides of his head thanks to his hairstye and the front of his face. think of him like a goth version to the late rick "zombie boy" genest and el diablo from dc comics' suicide squad. https://twitter.com/IgnitionCrisis/status/1386073886400278529 Besides thrax another char gage design wise for doc is copperhead from the dc animated movie suicide squad hell to pay. Chino’s own face design for a muscle mountain I envision is lu bu from record of ragnarok and scar from full metal alchemist

chino of course is part samoan and mongolian and often varies between 7 to 10 feet tall.like das Uber boy born with defined musculature so small wonder he’s a muscle mountain behemoth.outfits for chino consist of baggy urban wear,given his massive frame and all,so in the case of the images,xzibit,busta rhymes,ice t and sticky fingaz,and what bully ray is rocking here of course.really lot of pro wrestler wear is an influence on this gang of misfits

A reference sheet for any requesters and commissioners in order to better convey details. Doc and Dib/DG=1st image between male c & d body shape and build Chino=image 1 between male e and f Naz,Nikia,senia=Image 1, female c & d,e & f and d & e.

devart links for more refs and when it comes to senia,her hairstyle can be violet,snow white or black with the former 2,gogo is her bodybuild & skin colour https://www.deviantart.com/vanheist/art/Gone-Fishin-808762367 https://www.deviantart.com/vanheist/art/Patreon-art-A-Dressing-Concern-684106312 https://www.deviantart.com/vanheist/art/Struttin-680204771 https://www.deviantart.com/vanheist/art/The-Rydering-437281419 real23's dark skinned of course is an ideal nikia body shape basis

this was senia back befire she went from wallflower to bombshell she is today. backgroundwise,she's eurasian,naz is canadian,doc's latin-american with some asian ancestry,chino as said before is samoan-mongolian,nikia's south american,brazilian to be precise,doc and dib/dg are mexican/latin american.chino-between 8 to 10 feet tall naz-5'5'' senia-6'6'' nikia-7 foot even doc-6 foot even

or another clear idea of Senia's build,look to this fine piece of woman from the manga batuque. and mai takeru from the soccer manga Mai Ball! swole,firm yet sensual to behold,basicaly if you like or love a woman who can kick your ass if she so wanted? look no further.as well as the build of course,feel free to colour senia's hair violet/purple,snow white,black or any combination esp if rocking skunkstripe like streaks. oh fun trivia fact,she's got a singing voice like kerry slays from unleash the archers

speaking of body shapes and builds,another good example of a chino class build would have to be image comics' powerhouse alien hybrid,the Pitt.the noseless face detail is as said before also something key in doc's design

So another thing to add to this thread is what me and my buddy DarkGraven do with with our little crew of characters,who we have as this misfit group of friends,a six pack ensemble with our own personal take on Dib from Invader Zim as inspired by darnact/bigdad our version is often referred to with the last name Mendez and often him and Doc are,in a bond sense,sort of a play on that old phrase brothers from different mothers. esp given having similar heights,builds but majorly different personalities and what not,speaking of which our take on Dib around highschool to young adult age is a far cry from the spazzy hyper conspiracy nut of IZ. Basically he's a very deadpan,snarky sort of fellow,a real razor sharp wit who will verbally lash you as he has little to no patience or tolerance for fools.Basically think gilfoyle from the comedy series silicon valley mixed with a bit of jimathers 4Y records clerk and the good ol' boys from canadian comedy Letterkenny as well as Duckman,Daria and Jay Sherman of the critic fame

Yeah wonder if maybe dealing with zim and his zimness one time too many is the cause?Yes &he's had to endure the misery of putting up with the infamous O'Doyle clan of adam sandler movies infamy,the family motto "O'Doyle rules!! is enough to make him do the excalibur face.when he's not being a verbal wmd of course,loopy from jellystone is also a notable influenceXD Dib:I don't move my body for sport,only for pleasure but gilfoyle is the key influence,hell we call him DG Mendez(Dib gilfoyle Mendez)

he’s a very deadpan snarky fellow who knows he’s the smartest person in the room because most everyone else around him bar exceptions are idiots and will cut you down like so no mercy

The Sixpack Crew

So for years since we met and former our online bro bond and friendship,me and my buddy https://www.deviantart.com/top-gun5391 aka Dark Graven have made a daily routine on a regular basis some roleplays involving our OC group of friends we call the Crew,or the Sixpack as I’ve taken to calling them on twitter. There is our co creation,the gothpunk redhead Naz,the trio of the gothic skullface Doc Marciano,the behemoth manmountain Chino and the statuesque hyperactive manic amazon Nikia,his ever evolving redux oc bombshell Senia and our own take Dib from Invader Zim,based off of @bigdead93​’s fanart and the deadpan snarky programmer from comedy Silicon Valley Gilfoyle,Dib/DG Mendez (the G stands for Gilfoyle obviously). The past year or so I’ve been aiming to get requests or commissions that nail their visual designs and especially get at least one pic from longtime favourites like @aeolus06​

https://twitter.com/Sketchfan85/status/1391737351987212294

https://twitter.com/Sketchfan85/status/1634323350607593473

I’d made this twitter thread for reference and info details of course but figure no harm in making a similar post here on tumblr. The following imagery includes and consists of my own hand drawn references (try to guess which),and the likes of requests and commissions by talents like darkereve,rexreyes, @robocream​ @eldersfloatingtemple​ @big-break​ @ruhisuart​ @bluntkatana​ and many more to follow or come.

basic details are as followsinterms of height  chino-between 8 to 10 feet tall naz-5′4’’ senia-6'6’’ nikia-6′10′’ to 7 foot even doc and dib/dg-6 foot even. chino is samoan-mongolian,naz is canadian-american,nikia is south american(brazilian to be precise),dib is mexican-american,doc is latino mixed japanese american,senia is eurasian.senia is a lesbian,chino and naz are bisexual,nikia’s bi bordering on poly/pansexual,dib/dg and doc are hetero. details vary when it comes to background and backstories depending on roleplay settings but regular recurring details range from being jagua del toro citizens to facts like dib/dg having two moms,mainly him and gaz being adopted and raised by chalo’s mora and alejandra.any other details or questions feel free to ask.

Console Fighting Games of 1995 - Super Fire Pro Wrestling Queen's Special

Released on the SNES and TurboGrafx CD, Super Fire Pro Wrestling Queen's Special is an all female wrestling game developed by Human Entertainment and features wrestlers from the Japanese promotion All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling.

[yungcrybby-anonymousbosch666]

Now for the first time in its nearly 50 year history some members of the voting committee decided to vote a women’s match as a MOTYC, Stardom’s house style has been purposely changed to emulate more the “epic matches” that have been a staple of NJPW main events and the last year of NOAH especially. Over the last two years, talk about Stardom has increased with popular wrestling critics and wrestlers, and it has quickly become seen as one of the top promotions in the world. But did Stardom suddenly become a top-tier promotion, or did Bushiroad create a Pick Me Girl that has successfully pandered to groups of adult men that think so highly of this singular “epic match” style that it’s the only way they view wrestling as being great?

This entry also touches on how being a female athlete is qualified by how unattractive or attractive you are. Stardom has recognition because it toes the line of acceptable female behavior. Not being as threatening as the men, not stepping out of line with gendered expectations of women.

[wrestlingwithhistory]

Seisan Matchi - Yoshiko vs Act Yasakawa

In 2015, Joshi Wrestling was experiencing something of a renaissance thanks to a wealth of both experienced and up and coming wrestlers under various promotions across Japan. Stardom is consistently recognised as one of the premier Joshi Puroresu companies in Japan and has had established the careers of wrestlers such as Io Shirai, Kairi Hojo (Kairi Sane in WWE) and Mayu Iwatani to name but a few. Since its inception in 2010. They were always known for high quality matches that would outshine the US companies at the time who were still establishing their women’s wrestling as they moved away from the era of the Diva.

Throughout the 80’s and 90’s, Joshi Puroresu was always well respected, not just in Japan but across the world as talents would travel into the US and perform for WWF and WCW, most notably Bull Nakano who won the then WWF women’s title in 1994. And in reverse, there was a wealth of US talent that would travel to Japan to ply their trade with their Japanese peers, learning the style that was much more than the glamour of the American counterparts. Women such as Madusa (Alundra Blayze), Monster Ripper and Amazing Kong (later Awesome Kong) would establish themselves within the Joshi system despite being Gaijin (foreigners).

World Wonder Ring Stardom – known more commonly as Stardom – was founded in 2010 by former All Japan Women producer Rossy Ogawa, retired wrestler Fuka Kakimoto (known as Fuka) and professional wrestler Nanae Takahashi (known as Nanae). Although Stardom prides itself in hard hitting matches and work rate, it has previous come under fire for its unfair approach to pushing its female stars, placing a huge emphasis on the attractiveness of its stars to promote the company. This would be considered common within the Joshi system as the majority of the people that are attending the shows are male. Usually around 70% of the fanbase at shows are male, but in counter to that New Japan shows, which have Male only talent, the fan base is around 60% female.

This emphasis on attractiveness and professional jealousy is what is believed to be the main reason for what happened on February 22nd, 2015 at Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall at a Stardom event which was contested for the World of Stardom Championship.

Yoshiko Hirano was born July 26th, 1993. At the time of the incident, she was 21 years old. She was trained by Stardom founders Nanae and Fuka, as well as her tag team partner Natsuki Taiyo and Yuu Yamagata. She was a part of Stardom’s first trainees alongside Mayu Iwatani and Yoko Bito. She was given a heel persona which followed the style of the Yankii culture, which is considered to be brash, non-conforming and disrespectful.

Yusa Yasakawa was born November 13th, 1986. She made her Pro Wrestling debut in 2012 for Stardom, for whom she wrestled exclusively during her career. She was trained by Stardom founder Fuka. She has won the World of Stardom championship twice and was forced to vacate the title on both occasions due to injuries and illness. In 2014, after several defences of her belt, she relinquishes due to complications with her thyroid which was linked to Graves Disease. She went away for cataract surgery and returned to wrestle again 12 months later.

Yoshiko was considered to be protégé of Nanae, a true monster wrestler who was moulded in the old-fashioned Joshi style that was more in place with that of the cotemporaries of All Japan women. At the time of the match, she was the World of Stardom champion. Act Yasakawa was more of a style for the newer generation of Joshi puroresu. She was smaller in stature that Yoshiko and also, from the view of those higher up in the company, considered to be more attractive and marketable than her counterpart. Both women were part of the same stable in Stardom at one point named Kawasaki Katsushika Saikyou Densetsu Plus One.

As the match begins, both women stare across the ring from each other before they eventually begin trading blows with elbows and punches connecting wildly. Yoshiko, as the bigger of the two, managed to drag Yasakawa to the ground after throwing lots of punches at her face in the corner. The referee intervenes at this point and forces a break by Yoshiko as he can see that Yasakawa is bleeding heavily from her nose and mouth. Yasakawa crawls to the corner where she is checked on by the referee and Kyoko Kimura who was at ringside. The referee goes across to Yoshiko and you can sim him making a closed fist gesture, warning her that she must not punch with a closed fist which is traditional in wrestling to protect your opponent. As Yasakawa gets treatment from her corner, the camera zooms in to Yoshiko’s welted hands. The match was barely 1 minute in from the start bell and her hands showed signs of the closed fist punches that she’s was warned of by the referee.

The match restarts and Yasakawa is still getting to her feet when Yoshiko makes her way to the centre of the ring. Yoshiko makes a grab for Yasakawa’s hair which forces her into the ropes. She manages to fight back hitting her with some punches of her own, but Yoshiko is much larger and stronger than the smaller Yasakawa and hits her with a few more punches to the head and body before taking her to the ground again. Yoshiko then continues the use palm strikes to the side of Yasakawa’s head and face before standing up and moving away for a brief moment. The clearly frustrated Act stands up, still blood running from her nose and staggered from the assault.

Act approaches Yoshiko, looking as if she tries to engage with her to cooperate but Yoshiko stands stoic, hands on hips to signify her disrespect towards her opponent. Act throws a kick towards Yoshiko’s left side, but she grabs her leg and swings another palm strike towards Yasakawa’s face which narrowly misses, and they grapple into the centre of the ring, where Yoshiko again has gained the top control. Act’s head is in between Yoshiko’s legs and unable to attack, so Yoshiko powers Act over onto her back and struggles to manoeuvre into a position to attack again before Yasakawa gets her foot onto the ropes to force a break. As the referee asks for the break, Yoshiko places herself into a push-up pose, using Yasakawa’s face and abdomen as her balance points. She is pushing down on Act’s face the majority of this and eventually gets up, which then allows her to hit a heavy kick onto Yasakawa’s back as she attempts to stand up.

In a momentary change of pace, Yoshiko whips Yasakawa off the ropes and hits a heavy shoulder block/push which sends Yasakawa flying backwards to the floor. This happens a second time but while Yasakawa is grounded, Yoshiko stomps to the back of Act’s head 3 times, 2 which connected, one which was avoided by Act in a last-ditch effort.

Yoshiko then picks up Yasakawa, driving her face into the turnbuckle pad. Act turns around but is met quickly by Yoshiko who grabs her hair and throws her into the opposite corner, following up the more strikes to the head and then applying a guillotine choke. Yoshiko tries to drag the flailing Act into the centre of the ring but Yasakawa grabs the rope and then wraps her foot around the bottom rope, forcing the referee to start a 5 count for a break.

As Yoshiko walks back to the centre of the ring, the referee seems to motion towards Act to see if she is able to continue. Yasakawa nods and tried to regain some composure before returning to the centre of the ring herself. She circles Yoshiko before swinging out at her, which Yoshiko anticipates and throws a few strikes before again getting Act onto the ground by her hair. While on the ground, Yoshiko mounts her back and begins closed fist punching to Act’s face and head again. Act spins onto her front and with Yoshiko sitting atop of her, the referee calls for another break. While getting up, Yoshiko stands her full body weight onto Yasakawa’s stomach. As she moves away, Yasakawa rolls out of the ring where she is immediately met by Kris Wolf and other ringside wrestlers.

Yasakawa’s face is heavily swollen and visible, evident from the closed fist punches and palm strikes by Yoshiko. The referee begins a count but is called to check on Act and see that she is unfit to continue the match. The Referee re-enters the ring but at this point has not drawn a conclusion to the match. Yasakawa tried to climb back into the ring to maintain her dignity but is stopped by the other ringside players and as Yasakawa screams towards Yoshiko, a towel is thrown in to signify that the fight is over. The referee refers to the bell keeper and the bell rings around the arena.

With Yasakawa still screaming at ringside angrily, Kyoko Kimura lauched herself at Yoshiko before being dragged away from her by other present players. Yasakawa was taken away to hospital where they diagnosed fractured cheek nasal and orbital bones which required surgery, with doctors being very concerned with the damage to her eyes due to her surgery the previous year.

3 days later, a press conference was held where the World of Stardom championship was vacated, and Yoshiko was suspended indefinitely. The founders took a 30% pay cut for several months and Nanae ended up leaving the company as tensions between the foundrs over the incident continued.

Although Yoshiko apologised for the incident, many questioned her motives as 3 months later she decided to retire. During the customary 10 bell salute of a retiring player, she turned her back and walked out of the ceremony.

Though the reason for the fight is still contested and speculated, the fact this this match was given the name Seisan Matchi (Ghastly Match) shows how difficult it is to watch.

Act Yasakawa retired from In-ring competition on December 23rd, 2015 as a result of her injuries but continues to work with Stardom, most recently as a manager for the Oedo Tai stable.

Yoshiko had a 5-year exodus from Stardom, working with Nanae’s company Seadlinnng since its inception in 2016. She also tried her hand at MMA with Korean company Road FC. In March 3rd, 2021 both she and Nanae returned to Stardom competing at their 10th year anniversary show, All Star Dream Cinderella. Nanae fought against Momo Watanabe coming out with a victory and Yoshiko took on Mayu Iwatani in a losing effort.
