Wrestling is gay but not enough

Dana / She-her / 33 / trans and too gay to function / I only truly love women's wrestling but I watch Critical Role too. TTRPGs, JRPGs, D4DJ, tokusatsu and of all things, rally. Getting back into Fallen London after a hiatus. / Twitter @ItsDanaNow. I run a (inactive) wrestling/translation blog at shinetodaybelievetomorrow.home.blog


A part of me wants to write down show notes whenever I watch wrestling bc I always think a lot about what I watch and I want to get it out, but another part of me also thinks it's really important to be able to watch wrestling without Having To Post and to be able to watch it without necessarily needing to try and do so as a critic, bc I think that mostly inevitably just leads to like, burnout and bitterness and the inability to just relax and enjoy it sometimes. And idk I don't have an end to that thought it just feels hard to find the balance I guess

God I go nuts on game stuff but trying to talk about wrestling in the same way feels IMPOSSIBLE. Like each individual UNIT of wrestling usually isn't enough, so it either has to be something truly great, or talking about the like... last six months of someone or something

With games I always have these long note posts composed in my head but I never really feel the same pressure to actually post anything for some reason, like I've been stewing on a P3R post for months but idk if I'll ever actually post it anywhere. But with wrestling I feel more pressured about it, like there are so many fewer unique voices talking about wrestling I feel more like I'm actually holding something back by not talking about it. But also typing stuff up and formatting it and hitting post is hard!
