it’s the 31st in the UK and also I make the rules so. Happy birthday to my beloved @zoewithasword.bsky.social. She is most joyful person I know, the one who keeps me steady when everything feels awful, and the one who makes me feel as loved as a little dyke ever could. Love you forever, angel <33

It’s the anniversary of my broken ankle. It’s strange to think that this time last year, there was a real chance they were gonna amputate my leg. And now I’m almost five months deep in wrestling training, travelling to London every month alone for shows, doing my PhD, stronger than ever. Wild year

this is tangential to another wrestling academia project i'm working on but this section of way of the blade with mox is so interesting - especially when you think about wrestling as an 'excess of spectacle' like barthes claimed it was. the psychology of this really scratches my brain
"But the thing I've noticed is different is the timing and the pacing and the kind of rhythm of the matches and shit. WWE has a certain style. New Japan has a certain style. The cool thing about AEW is that there's no certain house style. So you get like Penta and Fenix and Kommander. And these motherfuckers are doing pure lucha straight out of fucking Mexico City. Jim Ross was about to have a coronary the first fucking few months of the company. Because he just couldn't understand why these motherfuckers weren't grabbing the tag rope? It's like, 'they're just doing it man.'

"And like fucking Ishii comes in. He's doing his stuff.

So it's different psychologies. But, I like to fuck with shit.

We did the shit with the brick. I remember, in the mo-ment, I was like, I'm going to roll out and grab that brick so fast and smash his fingers with a brick so quick thatnobody's going to even be able to fucking digest what they saw.

"Which would normally go against completely against Wrestling 101. Like, you don't want to do anything too fast because people have to be able to absorb what they see. And if you do it too fast, they won't be able to react to it. So you want to slow everything down and play to the last seat in the audience. Play to the nosebleed seats. And so everybody can see and every-thing. I did the opposite— just to see what would happen.

"I'll do that a lot of times just to play with these fucking rules that everybody says are rules and just see what happens. I could have brought out the goddamn brick and been like, 'hey, everybody, here's the brick.' And they'd be like, 'oh, no, a brick. And then do whatever the fucking spot we did. And then they're like, 'yay' or 'boo', depending on who took the brick. But by that point, they're not as shocked by the brick.

"So, I'm trying to sneak this brick out with no fan-fare. I don't even care if you notice or not. Roll out. Grab the goddamn brick. Snatch his fucking fingers. Then it's different. It's like, 'what the fuck just happened? Was that a goddamn brick? Oh, my God.' You know what I mean?

"I'm two or three steps ahead, just moving on without them. And they're getting left in the dust, and they're like, 'what the fuck is going on?' And they're desperately trying to keep up, this match is out of control. 'Oh, my God' That way, when the match is over, they're tired, they're exhausted, and they're out of breath. And they're like, 'what the fuck was that? That wasn't even wrestling. That was some kind of fucking horrible shit. What did I just see?'

It’s not unique to Primeval either - the shows of the time often had this feeling and I crave that sometimes - especially in my SFF. Makes it feel real in a way that even the best CG cant do

I’ve almost definitely made this exact post before but I am once again rewatching ITV Primeval and there’s something so refreshing in the low-budget, average wardrobe and actors that look like…regular people rather than Hollywood stars. Like. I could see all these people on the street!
