Something I've been noodling about after watching Wicked: For Good was how they handled Madame Morrible's singing. She doesn't sing often, and whenever she does it's a sort of sing-speaking. I know this is often attributed to Michelle Yeoh not being much of a singer, but I do wonder if there's more.

I had a lot of fun recording this episode! Pam is, of course, a dear friend and amazing person, but Sailor Moon means so much to so many people, especially in the queer community. It was one of the things I denied myself as a closeted trans girl growing up, so getting to explore it now was wonderful
This week, we were joined by @thedovetailor.bsky.social to talk about the other half of the formative 90's Anime experience - the wild and exceptionally queer world of #sailormoon!
Find us on @oneshotnetwork.bsky.social every 1st and 3rd Friday for more episodes!

Actual Play Teaser Saturday!
Garlemald suffered tremendously at the hands of their own weapon, Black Rose. Those that remain are few, and what was once a mighty empire has now crumbled into the dust of history, even if the weight of their sins still weighs upon the world even to this day.

Watching the Ranma 1/2 reboot and holy shit Happosai is ATROCIOUSLY bad. And the degree of escalation for how awful he is is frankly head-spinning.

Our second lore video is live! Honestly, it absolutely broke my heart to do this to Ala Mhigo, they've been through so much. That said they do border the Ghimlyt Dark so they took the brunt of Black Rose. These senseless tragedies inform the world our players will be stepping into.

My wife's off for a cosplay sewing sleepover which means I'm flying solo this weekend. Probably gonna be mostly working on projects and such, as well as playing a copious amount of Pokémon ZA. Cooking some Teriyaki Chicken for myself tonight, and then Char Siu pork tomorrow.

-Lay them across a rectangular pan
-Coat them in Yoshida's teriyaki sauce
-Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes each on both sides
-Serve with rice
