↳ @familylightfox asked: Light had needed a day to recover from the last ‘experience’ with the Freedom Fighters of their world. So he wasn’t too surprised when Gibbous had nudged his pants leg with her nose while he was sitting on the couch, but what quirked an eye was when she did so, then looked to the hero sitting next to him. When he stayed still, she puffed out her cheeks and shifted to bump her nose against Arrow’s leg instead. A little more insistent this time, nose wiggling and just staring up at the hedgehog. One more firm nose bump. “Are you feeling alright?” He had to ask. If she was being this persistent.

     {➹} – THE GENERAL CONSENSUS of the day seemed to be taking it easy. A common practice when Light and Gibbous came to visit those days because, even if they didn't say it willingly, the family could pick up on when their friends weren't in the greatest spirits. And frankly, they were happy to have the pair decompress there at the home rather than back with the ones undoubtedly causing that stress in the first place.

So it wasn't given a second thought as the pair settled in near the hedgehog, who was reading some magazine while his daughter seemed occupied with her markers and the latest cartoon on the television and his wife was sat on the chair nearby on her phone. Pretty typical for the small family,

So maybe it could be forgiven that none of them really noticed Gibbous' change of demeanor until about the second time she had nudged the hero, earning not just his attention but that of the singer's too. Neither of them knew what it was about, having chalked it up to restlessness until Light asked their question.

"Er, yes...? A bit confused, but 'm — " As honest as the hero's words were, they were cut short not only by a sudden, rapid beeping from his wrist but a look of surprise as well. The latter was the only reason he hadn't excused himself as he normally would, too taken aback to get up and move before his communicator flashed red and his own skin went pale in stark contrast. All before a familiar pain settled in his chest, and his breathing turned shallow.

Unfortunately, it was one more thing that was typical for the family. Mina had wasted no time getting to her husband's side, thankful that the couch was doing most of the supporting, and it took even less time for Lyra to abandon her show to turn towards her parents. It wasn't the first time she had seen this, but she was still far too young to understand what was happening to her father.

So the abrupt crying and her running over were equally as expected, and despite the acute pain he was in the hero still managed to scoop her up in an effort to calm her down. He couldn't say he was doing a terrific job, but it did give him something else to focus on while his partner turned to Light and Gibbous.

For a long moment Mina just stared between the pair, until her eyes rested on Gibbous. She didn't bother to hide her own surprise, though she made a point to keep her voice gentle. "Did...you know?"

↳ @monmuses asked: (welcome to the holiday season!) “come on! let’s cross something off of the winter bucket list. it can be anything you want.” from cosmo the space dog

{➹} – "WINTER BUCKET LIST?" Mina repeated, a brow raised above the amused smile on her muzzle. She had never heard of such a thing, but in a way it did make sense.

And she wasn't alone in the thought as her partner frowned, puzzled. "They have those...?"

An odd concept, especially to the couple who would rather stay inside during the colder months frankly. Neither of them liked the cold, in fact the hedgehog never forgot to remind people that it could be quite dangerous for someone like him. Hedgehogs just didn't do well in cold conditions.

However, there was one member of the family who didn't mind the snow, or the cold. And while she only understood a part of the conversation between her parents and their visitor, Lyra did have a suggestion.

"Puppy, skate?" Ice skate, that was. There was a frozen lake not too far from the house that the family would go to every now and again. It was fitting, the adults would admit, although how they would get their four-legged friend into proper skates was another matter.

But they would leave that to Cosmo.

↳ @familylightfox​ asked: Nothing says play like grabbing the tip of a sock and giving it a good tug. Doesn’t matter if it’s attached to a foot or not.

Thankfully, the one good thing was that the pup knew not to pull too hard when it came to the other toddler in the house and just wagged her tail in a play bow.

                                                             —————

    {➹} – NEITHER ARROW NOR MINA had thought anything of taking a certain pup for a few days. Chaos knew they had the room, and while she was still a tad too young to use actual words, they knew that Lyra enjoyed Gibbous' company just as much. Perhaps more so given how long the two of them could babble nonsense at one another.

     Today, however, it seemed 'play' was on the schedule and the two adults, settled on the couch where they could watch the little ones, could only be amused at Gibbous' initiation. Lyra had only stared for a moment before getting the gist and trying to move her leg back. Maybe not the most efficient way to play the game but if the way the young hybrid laughed was any indication, she was having a good time as her legs kicked happily with each tug.

"'You’re willing to be my friend first, then?' she asked quietly. 'Friendship was the first thing I offered you,' he replied simply. And it hit Iris then — how incredibly similar they were. A fact Eris seemed to have figured out early on. He was someone who needed a person just as badly as she did." -Iris x Eris, Spirit Meets the Bones by @lucienarcheron

Welcome to my “a little bit of everything” blog, a place for all my weird obsessions and hyperfixations 🩵 A heads up: I have zero tolerance for anti shit. Bring that to my blog and you will be blocked before you can even blink.

Fic Masterlist

Feysand:

This Love Is Alive Back From The Dead 🌶️ - The last time Feyre and Rhys saw each other was senior year when she abruptly decided to end things between them. Ten years later, they meet again at their high school reunion.

~•~

Starry Eyes Sparking Up My Darkest Night - We had danced, all of us together. And when the night had shifted toward dawn and the music became soft and honeyed, I had let Rhys take me in his arms and dance with me, slowly, until the other guests had left, until the gold disc of the sun gilded Velaris.

~•~

Wicked Things 🌶️ - A rare moment of clarity broke through the thick fog of alcohol.

“Rhys, this is where he made me stand next to him like a plaything” she said, remembering her first and last tithe in the Spring Court.

Rhys stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “No worries, Feyre darling,” he purred, trailing kisses down her neck, the spot between her neck and shoulder, then lowering the straps of her dress. “We can do some wicked things on it, that way he’ll never sit there again.���

~•~

If I Could Hold You For A Minute - The thread tying him to her went taut, then glowed. He felt his entire being shatter then reform, his heart beating to the sound of hers, his cells, his nerves, his entire DNA screaming her name, screaming that she was his, only his, his to love and cherish-

He felt the mating bond snap into place with a force that could have rattled the mountain, the stars.

~•~

the tragic story of the vienna sausage 🌶️ -

“Feyre, before we do this, there is something you should know.”

She looked at him incredulously, trying to ignore the throbbing between her legs. He thought now was the time for confessions? Sighing, she looked at him expectantly nonetheless.

“My cock… it’s not like other cocks.”

Drabbles:

Tiny Ancient Pup (Rhys & Nyx)

~•~

Memory (Rhys & Nyx)

Nessian:

Luckiest Male Alive - After the birth of his daughter, Cassian reminisces over the lucky moments in his life.

Dramione:

Lyra - He hadn't spoken to her in what felt like a lifetime, those last words between them filling his chest with a hollow ache. His mind filled with those last memories, of torture and blazing flames.

She looked at him for a split second and stilled, clearly not expecting his eyes on her.

As if he would be looking at anyone or anything else; the world narrowed to her whenever she was near.

"Let the battle begin" (Writeblr battle royale)

(Yk what, no one can stop me from posting really late.)

Content warnings for self-deprecating/ can be read as mild su*cidal ideation

@writeblrbattleroyale presented a fight, in return I gave it OC's that have never fought before and would die instantly, for, you know, funzies.

But @forthesanityofstorytellers's Lyra ended up being the sweetest bean ever, thank you so much for writing this with me <3 <3

And now, my esteemed guests, onto the fight

-------

Static. 

The story restarted with static. 

As it did. Every time. Every cycle. Leading to nothing but this ending and this ending alone. Some false lead that I may have won. That I might have written a happy ending. Or an unhappy one in this case… only to be blinded to a plot twist of my own making. 

How utterly ironic. The villain messed with faer own motives. Antagonistic, even to faerself. All I needed was an evil laugh. My realization arc would be complete. 

…As soon as my weight stopped tipping from side to side and I figured out if those spark-rimmed dark spots were real or not, and the static stopped consuming me whole. 

Plot holes and darling murders. 

I must have fallen. The tether finally snapped. Into the static I went. Into a happy ending, a release, a freedom I didn’t deserve…. How could it be a sequel? No one likes sequels. It was already the end after all. The villain got faer unhappy ending. It should’ve stayed that way. 

Sequels were narratively impossible. The story was over, all loose threads, resolved, one can’t write a continuation to something forgotten and finished. The only way to do it was a narrative spiral and even that… It hurts. My leaves smarted as the black spots danced. 

The captured star broke from its container, shattering the shards in an explosion of light. The shards stuck in odd angles, flesh punctured, beads of blood tricking, pooling in my stomach. It roared, setting my skin on fire. The static swirled in my head, throbbing, throbbing… 

When did my heartbeat get so loud? Was I breathing? Yes, weird and hollow, but there. Why was it so loud? 

Another one of those spooky antagonist paradoxes. 

…. Oh that was ridiculous. 

….

….

My vision blurred in and out. Didn’t I get rid of- I swayed, back and forth. Thoughts fizzled and popped. Not again. I rubbed my head in circular motions. Feelings exist. Feelings exist. Do not float into oblivion. Why did my skin burn? Was it that hot? Was there even sun? It hurts. Shouldn’t it stop hurting after…. a while? 

-----

Oh no. No no no nonono.

Lyra shook off her disorientation as the white began to fade from around her into the space beyond, revealing an arena. The walls rose up around them in stone, the dirt scuffling at her feet as her ears began to swivel and she took in the sights and sounds around her. She flinched when a box up high began speaking, flattening her ears to her head as she took a moment to adjust to the noise and the crackle of static.

A gamemaster? Contenders?! Opponents!?

“No!!” she yelled, wings snapping out to either side. “Not again!!”

She hadn’t even been playing with the scroll this time. She’d given up the search for him, had started trying to fight the darkness back home without his aid. She didn’t have time for this, she didn’t want to be stuck in another death-match tournament with an onlooker that watched bloodshed for amusement.

She glanced around. Her bow. Where was her bow!?!

She caught sight of the one that was supposed to be her opponent, Lyra spreading out her wings and readying herself to fly. To use magic if she needed, damn the consequences. She needed to get back home as fast as possible.

But the one across from her…they seemed…like they shouldn’t be here. They seemed lost, confused.

Lyra lowered her wings. Glanced around at the arena. Looked back at the one opposite her.

“...Are you okay?” She called out. She took the risk of approaching. They didn’t answer at first. So she tried again. “You look so frightened,” she said softly. “Do you…have wings?” She flexed her own a little, enough to make them move. “Can you fly? Maybe we can fly out of here together?”

-------

The words- for they were words after all… maybe… probably - floated over my head and to some far off place.

The other fairy (?) flexed their wings and the static ricocheted.

Oh 

Oh no no no, absolutely not. Forget narrative symmetry and thoughts stop burning up and form coherent words….

Battle of the fates. 

Kill the fallen fairy. 

And the other one, some other high protector, took that archetype in every shape, way, and form. 

They should kill the fallen fairy, before they realize its true nature. An irredeemable mushed up mess of antagonistic traits that would inevitably mess this up. It was only a matter of some sick comedic timing. Sequels were ridiculous like that. I growled. It made my roots curl into themselves, static sparking. And like a sequel, the story was set on reusing the same plot structure, beginning, progressing, and ending the same way.

Kamari should’ve realized sooner. 

They should’ve realized sooner. 

Anuli the antagonist couldn’t fly. Anuli the antagonist couldn’t say things right or find faer tree or function whatsoever or get faer thoughts off faer ridiculous stories for two seconds for simple, simple things that Anuli the antagonist just couldn’t do. No matter how hard fae tried. Fae wasn’t trying to be an antagonist… at least, I hoped that was the case. But whenever I tried to fix things, it never worked. I was just… the antagonist. 

They would waste valuable time trying to further the narrative of the opposition. It would cost them. It would cost them their happy ending. 

I really needed to perfect that evil laugh. 

The ground swayed. The static roared.  I couldn’t even be an antagonist. It was so hot. So loud. 

A small, selfish thought imagined the other - the protagonist, the ‘opponent’ - giving me a hug and singing and a lullaby, making the Place of Tethers retreat. I hissed at it. Never again. I would not repeat the same story twice. 

I gripped my antenna and yanked until my muzzle stung. 

------

“Oh, you poor thing,” Lyra muttered, backing away. Put her hands up. “I’m not going to hurt you. I promise.” She kept her voice soft. She glanced around. It sounded like this was a contest. Like there was another death match just beyond this one, and another and another and another. She glanced back at her ‘opponent’ and let out a sigh. “You don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve…to have anyone hurt you, Kelouoyba. I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve gone through.”

She stood and backed away. “I’m going to make sure you don’t have to put up with this.” She glanced up at the white expanse above them. Raised her voice so she could be heard by the one no doubt watching. “And once I’m done here I’m coming for you, game master!!”

She would not go through this again. Would not watch as ones like this one were forced into fighting for their lives. Not ones that had clearly been through a lot. That had been through enough. That deserved peace.

Her wings stretched to either side and she took off into the air, keeping herself level with the top of the wall, just under where the wall turned into what looked like some sort of stands or seating of some kind. She turned her attention to the other one, began humming as she concentrated. Summoned her core magic from deep within. Reached out with hands and magic to connect with the earth directly under her opponent. Felt it as her magic connected to this strange ground, pushing with all her might to create a hole directly under them.

------

Mistake. 

Mistake. 

Mistake. 

I deserve it. I ruined the same story multiple times. I’m a villain. An antagonist. 

It would be so much worse. I could either let the tether tighten, or fall to everything different. Both were wrong - false leads to the same ending.

And so the story continues. The villain ruins the stories of the ones who gave the antagonist faer own. 

“Akonh Kelouoyba!!” Use your wings, little one. She shouted it as angrily as she could, made it sound like a threat to help sell the idea that she was attacking using her magic, knowing that they likely couldn’t understand her even as her voice rattled in her throat, the cost of her magic.

The Protector shouted. Shouted. Angry. Or wanted something. Something that I couldn’t give. I winced. I did it again. Couldn’t get out of my own thoughts for two minutes to prevent this. Perhaps I was meant to play this role for eternity. Over and over and over and - 

The Protector… was angry, during a battle of the fates. 

Fae realized. 

The story’s over. 

Villain defeated.  

The static roared and the world collapsed to darkness. 

Once they fell she slammed the top of the earth shut with a loud hammering sound and landed on the very spot. She knew she had left an opening big enough and deep enough for them to be safe, so long as they were able to flutter down and reach the bottom. She placed her hand on the spot they had just been and whispered, “Rmhte, Kelouoyba.” Be safe, little one.

-------

I feel like the winners are going to team up to fight M (dungeon master), and I absolutely love how everyone's fights are going.

Watch the rest of the fights, dear bystander.

[blueinsomnia]

didn't know world of warcraft was among your interests! anything you want to share about rayla's intro?

Heh, the two games I play the most are World of Warcraft and Warframe. Last year, I got the wild hair to bring a WoW character into my own fantasy world. I thought it would be interesting if that character was a shaman. At the time, I had never played a shaman, so I started my research by creating one named Raylah. Read a bunch of WoW lore and stories to get an idea of how the world of Azeroth is presented outside of the game.

It was fascinating stuff since Raylah is a draenei and they live for so long (even longer than elves). I started writing the story, but stopped maybe a fourth of the way through, because I realized that I needed a better hook for the story. It felt like a bit info-dump to me and I wasn't happy with that. It's in the process of being retooled so that it'll have a real plot and characters.

-----

Here's a little excerpt from my early draft ( I apologize for any spelling and grammar errors):

The taste of the fairly warm coffee going down brought me a quaint calmness, allowing me to relax my nerves. The dim light in the room added to a sharp, almost subtle ambiance, intended to draw out the flickering of the flames in the fireplace. I was no stranger to this kind of mood and appreciated Lyra going out of her way to make the place comfortable for me.

"Thanks for coming, Raylah," the petite old woman said as she flopped casually into her well-worn chair.

"Thanks for inviting me, Lyra. It's not every day I get to have such esteemed company," I responded with as much care as I could.

"No need for such pleasantries," she remarked with a half-smile. "You're a guest in my home and it's not often I get visitors from across the stars."

I laughed absentmindedly well aware of her acute understanding of my situation. "Oh, so you know others like me?"

With a hearty laugh, she folded her hands on her knee. "Not exactly, but your situation isn't as rare as you believe it to be. Not that it is all that common, either."

"You sound like the leader of my people with that double speak."

"A wise person, indeed," she said with a smirk.

I took a sip of my tea as a stark vision of Velen flashed before me, causing a small smile at how much he had changed over the years. Truthfully, they had all changed. Not always for the better, but looking at our universe with more clarity was never a bad thing. Velen was always a step ahead of the rest of us as he was a prophet and was granted the clarity of true-seeing. His understanding and selflessness helped us survive thousands of years with our wits intact.

↳ @rxbelling-hxrald asked: The demon-hog would nervously take a deep breath as he tried to keep himself relaxed as it was time to keep a little promise he'd made. He wasn't scared so to speak just really uneasy on the idea as previous discussions between himself, Arrow and Mina had gone through. He still thought this was a bad idea. But when he saw little Lyra coming into view he'd smile not wanting to seem intimidating. "Hey kiddo."

     {➹} – THE COUPLE COULDN'T SAY whether this was foolish or not, all they knew was that the idea of introducing Dan to their daughter hadn't set off any real alarm bells. They would never push for it, just a causal suggestion here and there, but they couldn't say they weren't glad when it seemed, at last, the other was willing to give it a go.

Who knew? Maybe Dan could use a little socialization just like their daughter did. Of course, neither Arrow nor Mina expected it to be easy with Lyra's shy streak but that was all the more reason to do it sooner rather than later in their minds. A fact that was cemented when the girl took one look at the darker hedgehog and proceeded to bury her face in her dad's scarf. There had been worse starts at least.

It took some gentle coaxing and soft introductions but she finally looked at the stranger, though with a death grip on her dad and a concerned look to her mom. When they both only gave her a reassuring look, she finally blinked at him.

"D...an?" At least his name was easy for the one-year-old, and after a few moments she pointed to the one thing that had caught her eye, both because of the color and the oddity of it. His arm. "Boo-boo...?"

{➹} – "YES THE WHOLE house. Why would we only do part of it? What do you think all these are for?" The hedgehog gave Light a look as he lifted the relatively long string of lights in his hand. It was just one part of a rather large pile of other lights and various decor. All of which was catered for the small family's house.

Overkill? Absolutely, but it was one tradition that Arrow was rather fond of despite all the work it took. And it took a lot.

From the open front door, Mina just shook her head as Lyra looked on in fascination. Exciting as it all seemed, she and the girls had business elsewhere. Namely inside, where it was warmer.

Giving Gibbous a gentle nudge, the mongoose nodded her head toward the living room. "C'mon, while they figure that out we can get started on the tree."

Reflecting on Star Wars Celebration 2023

For 2023, Star Wars Celebration was held in London, England, part of Europe. Fans had a blast, whether they actually attended in person wearing cosplay or just regular clothes, or tuned into the live broadcasts on the Star Wars Youtube channel. Like last year in 2022, there were a lot of surprises and awesome guests, but 2023 had a lot of special moments and emotional responses. The hosts of each panel also need some appreciation, I loved the energy and relatable moods they brought to each day. In this post, I’ll recap some of the amazing highlights of each celebration day, and share my thoughts on the panels I attended while tuning into the lives at home. 

Starting off with Day 1, the excitement was at the top-level. Considering it was in London, the live started at 5 AM for me where I live. So I definitely did not get any sleep, but it was worth it. The Ahsoka series got the most recognition of the day with the teaser trailer dropping to all the fans. I woke up to the trailer being posted and immediately watched it, trying not to scream so loudly. Rebels fans were truly getting fed with the new live-action debuts of Hera, Sabine, Ezra, Thrawn, and Chopper. The Acolyte cast were given introductions, and I had no idea that a star from Squid Game (Lee Jung-jae) was going to be in it. I’m really excited to see more of this show. The Making of Andor was discussed with a few of the cast members and creators there, and Diego Luna really highlighted what Andor means to a personal level. Season 2 is in the making, and that will be something worth looking forward to. The next Star Wars films were also announced, and Dave Filoni’s directing one??? Let’s see what he has in store for us.

Day 2 included just as much fun as the first day had. There were more discussions on the Ahsoka characters, and Lars Mikkelsen IS PLAYING THRAWN?! Definitely a good live-action casting choice. Ming-Na Wen came to celebration to host the panel celebrating 40 years of Return of the Jedi, looking back at the characters and how that movie’s plot set up a lot of iconic memories. She also came to an interview to discuss her character, Fennec Shand, and how she is a “badass”. Andy Serkis came to the stage and certainly incited a powerful audience (”ONE WAY OUT!”). It’s unbelievable how it’s already been 15 years of The Clone Wars, with Matt Lanter, James Arnold Taylor, and Ashley Eckstein looking back at the legacy of all of it. Ian McDarmid served the iconic laughter of Palpatine, and Anthony Daniels arrived with his usual charm that makes C-3PO lovable, and got to meet one of his droid fans. Billy Dee William’s charm is irresistible, and we love to see Star Wars authors getting recognition.  

In Day 3, there was a lot more looking back to look forward to. Starting off with the panel celebrating a few of the villains of the Sequels-Phasma, Snoke, and Palpatine-it was interesting to hear their perspectives. Cameron Monaghan served his look on the stage while rocking a poncho, and we love to hear the discussions about ponchos. He even gave it to a cosplaying fan, which was so sweet. Discussing “Jedi Survivor”, the sequel to “Jedi: Fallen Order”, there’s a lot more action to look forward to in the next game. Vivien Lyra Blair is just too adorable, and we have to agree with Hayden Christhansen; “This is where the fun begins” is one of the best Anakin lines. Along with Ewan McGregor and a few other cast members and creators, the team looks back at the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, getting nostalgia between the relationship of Obi-Wan and Anakin. 

And finally, Day 4 was sad as it was to be the last day of celebration, but the energy was extra hyped this day. This day was filled with content of The Bad Batch, and we love to see everyone fangirling over Dee Bradley Baker performing the voices of a few clones. (Tech and Phee are canon now after they talked about it, you can’t change my mind.) Michelle Ang is so pure at heart, and we love to hear her takes on Omega and having her grow up a bit. The fact that Season 3 will be the last Bad Batch season is saddening, there’s still so much to discover. Ashley Eckstein is truly such a kind human being, and we love to see her giving the Ahsoka recognition that is truly deserved. A second season of Tales of the Jedi was announced, and we will be getting a Volume 2 of Star Wars: Visions, and I am in love with the animation. The fact that the studio who produced the film “Wolfwalkers” is getting to create a short in this makes me happy. Listen, Nubs, that little jedi from that upcoming Disney Junior show, Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures, is so CUTE! The closing ceremony was filled with a lot of emotions, but we can’t wait until the next celebration to see everyone again. Star Wars Celebration is truly home.

My first celebration was back in 2022, and I had attended that one through the lives at home as well. Whenever I sit down to attend the live streams, I really feel like I’m there at celebration, and I have tons of fun every time. Let’s look forward to enjoying ourselves again in 2025 in Japan!

How many chapters will your school series have? And will some pairings only appear once or can maybeee appear again in another chapter? Sorry for the question, but soooo excited 😍😍😍😘😘

Oooh, that's a good question!

I don't have an exact number of chapters because depending on the characters or pairing (and info given in each chapter), some chapters may be longer or shorter. For instance, the first chapter which I plan to release soon, is more of a quick intro chapter centered around Chandini and Bryce so it won't be super long. Also, I might decide to write about more characters or pairings last minute so I can't really say 😭

Adding on to that, I plan to have multiple chapters dedicated to each character/pairing. Using Bryce and Chandini as an example again, they come in the first chapter but I plan to alternate between characters/pairings each chapter so maybe by Chapter 7, it will be "their chapter" again. Hope that made sense!

Also, because it's an interconnected universe, characters from past or future chapters will make an appearance. There won't be a chapter without a "guest star moment" as I like to call it. For instance, Verena Solaris (The Elementalists MC) and Lyra Lexington (Ride or Die/Nightbound MC) are cousins so they know each other and will make more appearances in each other's chapters in comparison to other MCs who may interact but not as often. Sorry for the wordy response, feel free to ask me to clarify. If you want, I could share a sneak peek of some future chapters?

Oh, and here's another thing. I may plan to do this later after I find my footing for this series. I may write other creator's pairings (with their permission ofc) in my universe. Ex: I don't have a pairing with Tobias but if someone else does, I could write them together!

#you don't have to apologize for asking btw i love getting questions!! #asks #the scholars of bellachoix lane

Notable news & results from TV last week:

Monday Night Raw (5/29):

Trish Stratus cut a promo, claiming that she doesn't care what the fans think of her. She then introduced Zoey Stark, who thanked Trish. Becky Lynch came out and was attacked by both Trish and Zoey.

A couple of video packages aired on Raw. One featured recent NXT call-ups and former NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Katana Chance and Kayden Carter. The second featured Candice LeRae.

Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler defeated Bayley & Iyo Sky, Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville, and Raquel Rodriguez & Shotzi to become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. This win marks Ronda & Shayna's first tag team championship reign as a team. It's Shayna's third WWE women's tag team title reign (previously holding the championship twice with Nia Jax), tying the record most individual reigns. For Ronda, this is her first tag team title win in her wrestling career, and her fourth championship total. With this win, Ronda becomes the 8th woman in WWE to complete the triple crown, having previously held both the Raw and SmackDown Women's championships. match length-11:40.

NXT (5/30):

Gigi Dolin defeated Jacy Jayne in a weaponized steel cage match. Gigi pinned Jacy after putting her through a table. match length-12:34.

New NXT Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton came out to the ring to celebrate her victory. She announced that next week there would be a battle royal to determine the number one contender for the NXT Women's Championship. The celebration ended when Roxanne Perez, Lyra Valkyria, Thea Hail, and Fallon Henley attacked Tiffany and sent her fleeing out of the ring.

The mystery attacker was revealed to be Blair Davenport, who hit a Falcon Arrow on Dani Palmer before revealing herself to the crowd.

Cora Jade defeated Ivy Nile. Ava Raine attempted to attack Ivy, but got caught in a Dragon Sleeper. However, this distraction allowed Cora to hit a Rising Knee Strike into a Death Rider to win the match. match length-4:09.

AEW Dynamite (5/31):

TBS Champion Kris Statlander defeated Nyla Rose to retain the TBS Championship. After the match, Taya Valkyrie was shown watching the match backstage. match length-8:05.

Britt Baker & Adam Cole defeated Chris Jericho & Saraya. match length-13:13.

Friday Night SmackDown (6/2):

New Raw Women's Champion Asuka was a special guest on the Grayson Waller Effect. The segment was interrupted by Iyo Sky (who was once a member of the same stable as Asuka in Japan). They argued in the ring, before Bayley came out and said that a member of Damage CTRL would be winning Money in the Bank. Shotzi joined them in the ring, also stating that she would win the briefcase. Lacey Evans also joined them, followed by Zelina Vega. Asuka began to leave up the ramp, before being attacked by Bianca Belair, who began to brawl with Asuka.

Zelina Vega defeated Lacey Evans to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match. Zelina will be appearing in her second Money in the Bank ladder match, previously competing at the 2021 event. match length-2:49.

AEW Rampage (6/2):

NJPW Strong Women's Champion Willow Nightingale defeated Emi Sakura to retain the Strong Women's Championship. match length-8:00.

Other news & updates from last week:

While this has yet to be confirmed, it has been rumored that WWE had originally planned for Dakota Kai and Tegan Nox to reunite, likely as a part of the Damage CTRL split currently playing out on TV. However, Dakota's injury has almost certainly changed those plans.

Alexa Bliss announced on Tuesday, May 30 that she and her husband Ryan Cabrera are expecting their first child together.

And in another piece of exciting news, WWE superstars Emma and Riddick Moss (fka Madcap Moss) announced their engagement.

PWInsider reported on Tuesday, May 30 that Trish Stratus will still be regularly appearing on Raw going forward.

A report from Fightful Select on Tuesday confirmed the rumor that Mercedes Mone was originally slated to win the NJPW Strong Women's Championship at NJPW Resurgence on Sunday, May 21. It was noted that Mercedes herself actually called for the end of the match as well as the change in finish, once she realized that something was physically wrong.

In the same report, Fightful Select stated that NJPW is under the impression that the injury Mercedes sustained was a severe sprain without a break. However, those close to Mercedes have expressed concern that there may be a break, and that there was too much swelling to know for sure. They're hoping to have a clearer idea of what the injury is once the swelling goes down.

Alexa Bliss said in a recent interview that WWE has extended her contract. However, it is unknown exactly when Alexa's contract will be up. She stated during an interview in November of 2020 that she still had another three to three and a half years left in her contract, which would have put her at least through the end of 2023. However, it is unknown when her deal will be up now that WWE has extended her contract.

On the June 1 episode of Impact Wrestling, Trinity (fka Naomi) defeated Savannah Evans. Following her victory, Trinity called out the reigning Impact Knockouts World Champion Deonna Purrazzo, and issued a challenge for the title. The match was made official for Impact Slammiversary on July 15, 2023.

New WWE Women's Tag Team champion Ronda Rousey spoke with the New York Post after she and Shayna Baszler won the vacant titles on the Monday, May 29 episode of Raw. Ronda said that she and Shayna want to be fighting champions, noting that the lack of competition is the biggest problem. She said that they need to get WWE to care and to invest in the women's tag team division.

In the same interview, Ronda also talked about how she and Shayna had been pushing for WWE to let them wrestle together for years, even before the Women's Tag Team Titles existed.

Newly crowned WWE Women's Tag Team champion Shayna Baszler spoke to Peter Rosenberg on the Cheap Heat podcast. Shayna talked about how she and her fellow tag team champion Ronda Rousey had both previously asked to work as a tag team, and after WWE had repeatedly delayed those requests, Ronda finally put her foot down. According to Shayna, Ronda told WWE that she wanted this tag team run with Shayna, because Shayna is the reason that she started wrestling.

In the same interview, Shayna also mentioned that it's cool that Ronda pushed to work with her as a friend, because it shows that Ronda isn't just out for herself, something that Shayna noted is rare in show business.

It's also worth mentioning that Fightful Select reported in late March 2023 that the original WrestleMania creative plans for Ronda Rousey changed significantly. The original plan for Rousey's second run as SmackDown Women's Champion would have seen her hold the title until WrestleMania, where she would have faced 2023 women's Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley. However, Ronda pushed for a tag team run with Shayna, choosing that path over defending a world title at WrestleMania.

Liv Morgan has officially confirmed that the injury she sustained during the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match on the May 12 episode of SmackDown is a torn shoulder. Wishing her all the best in her recovery.

News broke this morning (Monday, June 5) that I felt was too exciting to save until next week's news roundup: WWE have announced a multi-year partnership with Twitch! This will see the return of the official WWE Twitch channel and popular WWE Superstar channels, showcasing exclusive live content with a rotation of various hosts. Starting with tonight's Monday Night Raw (6/5), WWE will have a companion broadcast that will take you behind the scenes.
