I appear to have gained a few hundred followers as a result of being part of an autism starter pack, so maybe now is a good time to do some kind of introduction to my life and work in that realm.

Hi! I'm an autistic writer who covers autism, pop culture and the middle of that Venn diagram.

I was in the front row for the DDT one! And close for Kaiju.

RJ is perfect assistant material.

RJ City would be an all timer. (Also a good option for assistant on an English language TM Canada.)

She'd be a delight. And run away with most of the prize tasks.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 3h

My Taskmaster.

I'm already like "wait, I could do a full TJPW one! I've missed too many people!"

Good point. Yikes! pencil chic is goof for everyone.

Harley's winning the majority of the prize tasks.

But he'd look great in girl Endo's colour scheme.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 3h

Oh, boy Endo!

Hisaya Imabayashi will obviously be the assistant.

Oh, same.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 3h

Kenoh will be my self aware hothead.

I'm torn between Hyper Misao and Super Sasandango Machine for the genius who has the potential to fail at the basics.

Maybe Aja Kong for the droll elder?

Daisuke Sasaki is obviously going to be my Acaster/Correos style agent of chaos.

Emi Sakura because I want to see what such a clever and resourceful person would do under those circumstances. And I think she might start crying about how much she loves Queen during a prize task.

Excellent choices. I see Dr. Cube taking that series.

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 4h

This question is only going to appeal to a particularly nerdy middle of the Venn diagram, but what five wrestlers would you cast in a series of Taskmaster?

Endo has new gear and none of you told me??

I love that James Acaster's full wrestling name is James 'James Acaster' Acaster.

Oh, I guess that’s my friend zone!

Sarah Kurchak @fodderfigure.bsky.social · 1d

A true work of genius.

Remember the ASUKA (Veny)/Akito One Light Tube Deathmatch? That was so fucking good. If you don't remember it, you are in luck www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSrH...

It appears that the softest spot in my fangirl heart is currently reserved for 5'7" northern Englishmen who area really into horror films.

Something about Reece hurling that sheep on Taskmaster took me back to Royston Vasey.

You don't really think about how heavy records are until you have to transport hundreds of them to a new location.

I grew up near the border. I’ve spent 43 years listening to blowhard right wing Americans go on and on and on about their freedom. Logically I know why none of them seem to care it’s under such threats right now. But man, it’s still a mindfuck to watch their hypocrisy exposed like this.
