“ Mira, mira qué noche, la más bonita. Mira que estrella más chiquitita. Contigo no se puede comparar. ”

[kayfabe-is-king]

I have thoughts from last night's Dynamite and this is all within kayfabe. It's disjointed and patchy but that's because my mind has been going a mile a minute for the past week. So once again, welcome to my Ted Talk!

It was very fitting that Mox and Co. (are we still calling them the Blackpool Combat Club because that doesn't seem extreme enough at this point) attacked during the match between The Elite and The Conglomeration. That match showed in stark detail the very best and the very worst of what AEW has become. The Elite concerned more with glory and money (literal money raining down on Okada as he walks down to the ring) than about what is best for the company as a whole. And truthfully, they're coming off like a joke now in comparison to Moxley's Death Squad. Meanwhile, The Conglomeration was born of betrayal and people coming together because they a) love this sport and b) still believe in All Elite Wrestling. I lost track of the number of times Excalibur, Nigel or Tony alluded to Orange Cassidy being a leader.

“Why aren’t they coming to help?” Schiavone asked. 

Because The Elite now represent exactly what Moxley is railing against - egos and fat paychecks. This new era is a direct response to The Elite's frankly laughable "take over" of AEW. Moxley watched them, said "hold my (non-alcoholic) beer" and then showed how you really take over a wrestling promotion.

During that horror movie trailer masquerading as a wrestling promo, Moxley mentioned all the wrestlers in the back not being given a chance while overblown egos are sitting atop the AEW food chain. This, to him, is a purpose... a cause. And if he has to hurt people to achieve said goal?

"It's the cost of doing business."

Thing is - Moxley's done this song and dance before. Remember this:

(credit to @softambrollins for the two gifs above)

Once again (much like with The Shield) in Moxley's mind, something he believed in has been corrupted. The difference is that now he has the power and the muscle behind him to do something about it. He feels like it's his moral obligation to stamp out the "corruption" that has infested AEW. Something he couldn't really do when The Shield fell apart. This is Moxley exorcising those ghosts... and you know, beating the shit out of people.

If you look at the people coming to The Conglomeration's aide last night, you'll see they have something in common. These are people in the back that haven't really been used properly in a while. Private Party, who really should have had a title run by now. The Dark Order, consistently being tossed around creative with no real direction since the death of Brodie Lee. Top Flight hasn't found it's groove even though they put on consistently great matches time and again (I did laugh my ass off when Action Andretti did that springboard from the ropes and Moxley was like "nah, bro" and clocked him in the back of the head).

And while Daniel Garcia has been given pushes lately, I don't think he's been properly and consistently booked until this angle (and if they don't take the belt off of Jack and give it to Danny, there's no justice in this world). I believe these choices were intentional. A way to pull people into a long running storyline that were floundering.

Even on the BCC's side, you have Marina Shafir - an excellent technical wrestler who AEW has batted around with no real direction. Moxley has said time and again how much he admires her, so of course he wanted her as a part of this angle. She is the perfect soldier - brutal, efficient and loyal. The look of devastation on her face when she was ejected from ringside at Wrestledream? That's the look of a dedicated soldier who has (in her mind) let down her commanding officer. She will go toe to toe against anyone who stands in Moxley's way. And am I the only one wondering about that key around her neck?

Here's something else to think about. Tony Schiavone has seen the attempted hostile takeover of a wrestling promotion before. He was ringside as the New World Order was born and watched their path of destruction in WCW. Imagine seeing history repeating itself and not being able to do anything about it. Even worse, imagine seeing history repeat itself... but worse. This is the nWo dialed to 11 and unencumbered by silly little things like laws against attempted murder. 

Someone at commentary also asked where the belt was. It was never about the belt and Moxley purposely handed it off to Claudio for that very reason. He doesn’t care about the glory. He genuinely believes what he’s doing is what is necessary. And there is nothing more frightening than someone so fine with committing acts of brutality because they truly believe that is the only way. 

Now we come to our most conflicted Moxley disciple. And if you don't think he's still very much conflicted, you haven't been paying attention. Wheeler using the Busaiku Knee on Orange Cassidy while dressed like Bryan was intentional. Sure, he may have drunk the new BCC’s kool aid, but he still very much respects Bryan. He saw what he did to Bryan at Wrestldream as mercy (whether or not you agree, it's still how he saw his actions). To him, he finally put Bryan to "rest" and now feels it is his responsibility to continue Bryan’s legacy.

And that is where him and Daniel Garcia will clash in glorious battle. They are the ying and yang to each other - both love this sport and both see Bryan as their hero. One is just following the darker path that William Regal himself has laid for the likes of Moxley. While the other one believes in Bryan's way. They are the next generation of the power struggle between Bryan and Moxley - their proxies if you will. This is the most elaborate game of Risk come to life.

I have seen some people say this new storyline is "going too far". I get it - it's hardcore and some people didn't grow up watching ECW. They may not know that Terry Funk did the plastic bag spot long before they were even born. But I vividly remember those days (I was ringside for some of them - Terry Funk is hands down one of the nicest wrestlers I've ever met). And I for one, love where all of this is going. I watched the nWo from its rise to its demise and this new paradigm shift blows it out of the water. This is the evolution of that iconic angle and they picked the perfect people to do it. 

Side note - shout out to Renee for consistently doing her job with a high level of professionalism. And also pretending like her husband isn't committing attempted murder every week. Imagine how awkward it's been for her around the water cooler lately.

the neutral evils!

no fundo, marina acreditava que aquele era o papel de sua vida. atuava desde tenra idade em papéis menores, onde não tinha espaço para explorar seu talento e desafiá-lo. porém agora era diferente, porque além de ter sido escalada para seu primeiro papel principal, também poderia interpretar uma personagem sáfica; a descoberta de sua sexualidade se deu fora das telas e desde então não havia retornado à personagem algum. não sabia qual seria a reação do público, mas estava animada para descobrir. "fui a primeira a chegar?" questionava à maquiadora, sentando-se para receber a caracterização. "se importa?" com o queixo, apontou para algumas folhas que tinha em mãos. sabia as falas de cor, mas gostaria de lê-las uma última vez. e estava pronta para fazê-lo quando a maquiadora alertou que a atriz com quem contracenaria havia chegado, que poderiam passar as falas juntas. a felicidade no semblante de marina, porém, durou menos de um minuto: os olhos haviam acabado de localizar a ex. o que ela estava fazendo ali, afinal?

[soulmatesinc-if]

im kinda curiose is there any song you associate with your story like some song you feel fit the vibes or one that makes you think of the ROS and their routes? And do you prefer to write listening to music or in silence?

What a lovely question, music is my creative fuel for sure! I work best without distractions though.

I don't have a general song that'd be one-it-all since MC can have so many attitudes to their work, but here are some that speak to me on the character level:

For Wyatt, it's Bubblegum Bitch by MARINA

For Sam, it's Something Just Like This by Coldplay & The Chainsmokers

For Romero, it's Drive by Halsey

Feel free to read into it but not very hard ;)

a closed starter for my beautiful fiancée, @meltsintoyou, from isabel romero.

she beamed at her best friend and rushed at the woman, jumping into her arms. isabel laughed as they stumbled to the ground and pressed kisses all over the other woman's face, "you've been gone so long!" she exclaimed. "i've missed you." her best friend had been on a trip and isabel hasn't seen her in almost two weeks. "how was your vacation? how's marina?" she asked, referring to tris' musician girlfriend.

Este año he participado en el calendario 2025 organizado por la Diputación de Córdoba. La temática en esta ocasión es “Córdoba Fantástica”, y en concreto, mi mes es octubre.

Muchas gracias a Almudena Castillejo por pensar en mí para participar en este proyecto.

A continuación, explico el porqué de mi aportación de forma resumida. Gracias si la leéis hasta el final 🤣.

****

San Rafael es el patrón de Córdoba. En la religión católica se le representa con un bastón de peregrino y un pescado. Se le considera protector de los enfermos y de aquellos que viajan.

La ilustración muestra el Puente Romano de Córdoba, en el que se encuentra una estatua del arcángel. 

San Rafael despierta de su letargo en su día santoral, y lo celebra pescando en el río Guadalquivir. Como el Día de Todos los Santos está cerca, los espíritus de figuras famosas del pasado de la provincia están más activos, y usan los arcos del puente a modo de portal para viajar entre el más allá y nuestro plano. Mientras, cuentan con la guía y protección del arcángel sobre el monumento.

De izquierda a derecha, los personajes que aparecen son:

✒️Luis de Góngora, poeta y escritor del Siglo de Oro.

📖Wallada e Ibn Zaydun, princesa andalusí y reconocida poetisa.

⚓Ana María de Soto y Alhama, primera mujer en formar parte de la infantería de marina española. Se hizo pasar por hombre y luchó durante cinco años, hasta que fue descubierta. Carlos IV le concedió el cargo de sargento.

📜Lucio Anneo Séneca, filósofo, escritor, orador y político romano.

💃Dolores Castro Ruiz “Dora la Cordobesita”. Cupletista y bailarina. Julio Romero de Torres la retrató en algunos de sus cuadros.

📚Averroes, filósofo, maestro, escritor y médico musulmán.

En el tajamar más a la izquierda se ha dibujado el acceso a la Sinagoga de Córdoba, en representación de la herencia sefardí en la ciudad. En el otro tajamar visible, aparece una casa patio cordobesa.

***

El calendario se podrá adquirir pronto en Diputación y en algunos establecimientos de la ciudad.

Espero que os guste cómo cada uno de mis compañeros ha interpretado a una Córdoba llena de magia.

uuu ask game!! 3 and 23??

Cal!!!! o///

3 - Five songs you have recently been obsessed with?

OOOOOHHHHH okay okay lemme have a look through my playlists. A lot of these are going to be tied to Ordem characters n stuff but I don't think you'll mind lmfao. I'll make sure it's spoiler-free for you (up to opc 7) so dw <33

Breezeblocks by Alt-J (for 90 Seconds to Midnight AU, Lizago-centric)

Over & Over by Rio Romero (for Sr. Veríssimo)

Put It on Me by Matt Maeson (for Joui & Gal from opd6->opc2)

Oh No! by MARINA (for Loneliness AU, occultist!kaiser)

Snakes from the Arcane series (no real character ties for this one, and I've never even watched Arcane, it's just very fun to listen to)

23 - Talk about a WIP?

Ah yes, WIPs. Daaaangerous to get me talking about my WIPs. Main one I'm working on rn is another Lizago fic (yeah yeah go figure I'm obsessed with them) but it's a bit different from what I usually ramble on about.

Long story short, I'm actually gonna dip into romantic-leaning Lizago rather than the platonic/qpr-leaning Lizago I usually like to play with. Basically: what if Thiago asked Liz out? What would be going through her head? Is that kind of relationship even possible for the kind of life they lead? Does a date really mean anything in the face of, "Hey we've almost died together several times and now my life centers around that danger and, by association, you"? Or is she completely overthinking this. It's fun to chew on! Also Joui will be there. I'll put a snippet of the draft under the cut <3

Shout at me! Distracting asks game!

Have a snippet of the drafted banter that may or may not appear as written in the final cut (takes place between aop and osnf, Liz is driving):

Susie Romero's Bike Tour of San Marina

If anyone's wondering why I didn't put out a splashy YouTube trailer of San Marina before the release, it's because it would've delayed the world even further. I still intend in putting something out but in the meantime, here is a video of one of the residents of San Marina, Susie Romero, doing a bike tour of almost every sub-hood.

I was inspired both by soocoolsim's collection of videos doing walking and taxi tours, as well as my own days as a cyclist. Back when I was younger and much more fit, I used to ride in and around NYC, so making this video took me back. 😉
