SLCS’s own Lia Duffield-Warblood (opheliaautumn) & Rena Kadoya (syrena.macpherson) brought Battle Championship Wrestling’s supercard “Starfest” event to Srooc Skytower Memorial Stadium today. There were some amazing matches and Rena vs Lia was the main event!
All the previous matches were in an open ring. But for the final match of the day, Lia vs Rena, they lowered a huge, two-story cage over the ring.
The commentators, Trixie and Benja, were terrified when Rena & Lia took the match up to the top of the cage. They were worried that they’d fall off the cage and tumble down to their doom. Well, they did eventually fall! But wrestlers are tough! They just kept going!
I’ve worn many hats and tried on many identities as an avatar. I’ve been young and I’ve been old. Skinny and full-figured. Black and white. And red and green. A cheerleader and a derby girl. A barista and a host. I’ve seen so much love and beauty, so much desire, so much hunger for love and connection in the virtual world. I’ve seen that hunger and need expressed in unhelpful and destructive ways. Ways that can make living in this world as frustrating as living in the first life we came from. I’m touched by the tiny acts of kindness that surround us every day. If we can make it here, we can make it anywhere.
