I guess this is all to say that I hope you’re having a good day, and if nothing else know if you’ve read this, there’s someone out there who wishes you well and believes you deserve love in all its forms, even if sometimes it doesn’t feel like it. Lots of love to everyone, and ttyl! ✌️💕💝 -BB 🐻 (4/4)

I haven’t been with someone yet doesn’t mean it won’t happen or that I don’t deserve love that way. Maybe I’m just rambling, but I think the fact that I’ve put as much thought into wanting a relationship as I have proves that I have plenty of capacity to not only give love but to receive it. (3/4)

Not just today, but every day. Reaching out to friends more often, putting more time into projects that give me joy like Fight Like An Animal (ep 5 in the works btw), taking moments to check in with myself and remind myself that even if no one else is there, I’m here for me, and just because (2/4)

Hoping everyone’s having a good day today, regardless of Valentine’s Day ❤️ I know it’s always been sort of a weird holiday for me, as someone who hasn’t really dated anyone, but I think love is about more than just another person; I’ve been putting a lot more thought into self love as of late (1/4)

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 12 (fin) Panel 1: Nick walks away from the green room area, dejected and confused: “sigh, I just… I just don’t know, man.” From within the green room, Gene peeks out through the blinds at Nick. Nick doesn’t notice. Panel 2: With Nick now gone, Gene steps out through the doorway, still looking towards Nick. Gene, to himself: “hmm, THAT’S an angle. interesting…” Rich, in the room: “Gene! need you back in here.” Gene: “coming, Rich.”

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 11 Panel 1: Nick: “I’m just- I’m certain Leo talked about this with Rich when he signed on here and Rich was cool with it, so I don’t-“ Jun pushes themself off of the wall. Jun: “it’s like you said. Leo will find another way to tell his story. he’d be uncreative if he couldn’t.” Panel 2: Jun: “you should start getting ready.” Nick, still thinking: “y-yeah. yeah.” Jun: “and Nick? believe it or not, I care about storytelling too. I don’t believe in babying the audience, just like how you shouldn’t baby Leo through this.” Panel 3: Jun looks back at Nick with a glare, hoping their harsh words get through to him: “you wanna know what wrestling’s about? it’s a reflection of the world we live in, warts and all. and in this world, so-called “good people”? they give up, like, all the time. I personally respect what we do here too much to lie about that. everyone here is mortal, everyone bleeds. if someone can’t handle the reality of all that…” Panel 4: Jun: “… they probably shouldn’t be involved in the sport at all.” Jun walks away, leaving a dismayed Nick behind him.

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 10 Panel 1: Nick watches as Leo walks off, sighing to himself. Offscreen to Nick: “he’s right, you know.” Panel 2: Nick turns around to see Jun leaning against the wall to his left outside the green room. Jun stares at the ground with a stern expression. Nick: “Jun, I… guess you heard all of that…” Jun: “even if he doesn’t actually believe what he just said, he knows he’s right. you do too, don’t you?” Panel 3: Nick joins Jun leaning against the wall, keeping a respectable distance apart, unsure of Jun’s feelings at the moment. Nick: “look Jun, it’s nothing to do with YOU. Leo just… he has his personal goal to never tap out in a match. pin, KO? sure, but no tap. idk who else on the roster he told, if anyone. when we first trained together in college, when we roomed with each other, we talked about what we wanted from this, wrestling. amongst other things, we talked about legacy. some people come and go and never leave a mark. Leo wants the fans to take something with them from his matches, and… “don’t give up” was it.” Panel 4: Nick continues: “he’s not an idiot or naïve. he knows good guys don’t always win. but if people can watch and take away that whatever you do in life, you do 100% and even if you fail or die, you die trying, til’ the last breath… that leaves a mark. maybe on a bad day, you see that, and it changes how you see the world. maybe you become a bit wiser, and you spread those ideals yourself. maybe that makes this insane thing we do worth it. you should feel OK with Leo tonight. he’ll be a pro about it, I know him. we care about you too, Jun, about our friend getting the Midwest Title. he’ll sell for you, and… he’ll find another way to say “don’t give up”.”

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 9 Panel 1: Nick turns back to look at Leo, concerned and confused. Nick: “…Leo?” Leo, not looking at Nick: “it was gonna happen eventually.” Panel 2: Leo faces away from Nick, speaking calmly but consciously: “this is just how it works. wrestlers submit. they give up. it’s unfair to fighters like Jun whose finishers are submissions to just say, “I don’t wanna tap”. it was a naïve goal. it puts the booker in a weird spot, it’s just- … selfish. childish, even. and I want our friend to look like a worthy contender so- … it’s fine.” Panel 3: Nick gets serious, looking straight at Leo, even if Leo won’t return the favor. Nick, sternly checking in: “…are you sure you’re OK, bud? you have a say, too. it’s your story too. I want you to be able to tell your story.” Leo sniffs, then: “ sometimes the story isn’t about you.” He takes a second to put himself together. Leo: “I’m good, Nicky. really, it’s fine. heh!” Panel 4: Leo has now turned around to face Nick. Though there is certainly a forced smile on his face, by no means does it look sincere, especially since his eyes appear a bit puffy and his eyebrows are still twisted upward, holding back his real feelings. Leo, putting forth his best for Nick and trying to move on quickly: “ you should go get ready. let’s have fun tonight and it’ll be a great match! crowd can tell when you’re not feeling it. we’ll talk after, kay?” Nick to himself: “god, he’s just like me… he’s a terrible liar.”

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 8 Panel 1: Suddenly, Rich’s cell phone starts ringing. Rich, urgently, stumbling on his words: “ah! ok gentlemen, I need to take- I need the room NOW.” Panel 2: We see Nick and Leo outside of the office, having swiftly been kicked out before Nick could finish his interjection. The window shades shut and the door slams closed without a moment’s notice, leaving Nick temporarily dazed. Panel 3: Nick has his wits back to him and he is NOT pleased with what Rich just pulled. He walks back up to the green room door about to knock. Nick, angrily to Leo: “NAH dude. Leo, gimme a sec, I KNOW you’ve been over this with Rich before. I’m gonna get him to-“ Panel 4: Leo, softly: “it’s okay, Nick.” This stops Nick right in his tracks. He never knocks on the door, confused and shocked at what he just heard.

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Pt 7 Panel 1: Marcus fist bumps Leo, both excited at the idea. Marcus: “ yo, a 4 way actually sounds sick!” Leo: “hell yeah, what’s one more guy?” Jun, less impressed: “whatever, but who goes over? my promo was going to build to MY title shot.” Rich: “yes, Jun, the Midwest Title still takes priority. the crowd needs a reminder that Sinner is a threat for taking the mid card belt.” He turns to Nick. “I know, Nick, you were gonna win this, but you won last night, so Jun is gonna take this one, K Nick?” Nick, stumbling on his words a bit: “o-oh… y-yeah I, that makes sense…” Panel 2: Rich dictates his desires for the match as Gene scribbles them down on his whiteboard. Rich, rambling: “aight Gene, get this on the whiteboard so you can remember for me. 4 way match, 3 small guys and a bigg’un. max 10 minutes. just bread n’ butter basic spots. save the weapons for our main event guys later. get down to the final two guys. so let’s say Nick gets Jonny, Aëro kicks Nick, Sinner now has Aëro.” Everyone in the room thinks to themselves at the same time, “god, this sounds boring. we could do way better…” Panel 3: Rich: “Sinner gets their lock in, Aëro taps out, we move on. done.” Suddenly, Leo realizes what Rich said. Leo, quietly and anxiously to himself: “wait *gasp*” Rich’s final words hang in the air for Leo: “Aëro TAPS OUT.” Though we don’t yet know why, this clearly effects Leo. Panel 4: Leo wants to say something, but shock, fear, disappointment perhaps, something makes him freeze and choke on whatever resistance to the booking he wanted to say. The only person to notice is Nick, who finally speaks up timidly, eyes never leaving Leo. Nick: “…uh hey, Rich, so, about the finish-“

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 6 Panel 1: Rich, a thin old somewhat sleazy looking skunk in a suit jacket with slicked back hair sits behind the desk, papers scattered all over. He leans back and holds a cell phone in one hand. Rich: “ok, gentlemen, i’m expecting a call any second now, so we’re gonna have to make it quick. Gene, make sure you note all this. SO! the TLDR, as you kids like to call it, is we need to free up some time on the card. we’re building heat during the main event for the PPV. Pulvermacher vs. King V for the strap, it’s gonna be BIG money, right? so two segments tonight gotta merge to give us time for a post match brawl before we go off the air. I think that’s more exciting anyways, huh? Jun here kindly agree to join you boys rather than keeping his promo. so tonight, it’s going to be…” Panel 2: We see all four wrestlers (left to right: Jun, Marcus, Leo, Nick) reacting one by one to the news, some shocked, some excited, some nonplussed. Rich: “…SINNER vs JONNY RAZOR vs AËRO vs NICK DREAD… in a 4 way match!!!”

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 5 Panel 1: We now see outside the green room within the backstage area. The door is open and inside we can partially see an ongoing meeting with several people. Leo: “we should go check in, make sure Rich actually remembers we have a match tonight.” Panel 2: Now inside the room, we see a Tiger Keelback snake sitting on the edge of a couch and a koala leaning against a wall. Snake: “ah, there they are. Leo, Nick, traffic okay?” Koala, big smile: “ay lads! better late than never, right?” Leo: “hey Jun, Marcus.” Panel 3: An old French bulldog in a referee uniform sits on the couch, scribbling on a clipboard with a dry erase marker. Marcus: “so tonight, it’s the 3 way with Nick, Leo and I.” Nick: “yeah, and then Jun has their big promo before the main event.” French Bulldog: “they’re all here now, Rich. better let them know.” Marcus: “wait, Gene, huh? know what?” Panel 4: Marcus frantically slams his hands down on Rich’s desk, annoyed and pleading: “aww don’t tell me we’re not on for tonight!!! Rich look at me, brah! I’m already in my gear, please mate!” Gene, sternly: “Marcus, stand back and shut it for a minute. Let Rich explain.”

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 4 Panel 1: The group pulls up and parks behind the service entrance of the Starlight Theatre, where they do their wrestling shows for ABW. Amy: “all I’m saying is don’t be so afraid of rejection that you never attempt to bring new ideas up. they’re not mind readers, and you’re not crazy for wanting better out of this place.” Panel 2: Now inside, Amy waves goodbye to the boys and rushes into the room. Amy: “alright, I gotta go. see y’all later.” The boys: “bye” Panel 3: We zoom out to see the rest of the locker room, or technically an old theatre changing room turned into a makeshift locker room. We see people doing their make up, stretching, jamming music, etc. Leo: “aww man, everyone’s here already. we shoulda left earlier.” Nick: “told you.” Panel 4: Leo turns and speaks to a beagle in a beanie typing away on a laptop. Leo, trying to be polite: “sup Damien! stream starting up without issue? specifically with-“ Damien, cutting him off, a bit annoyed since he knows what Leo is implying: “it’ll be just fine, so long as people let me work. why does everyone assume we’re gonna have a repeat of the donation incident? I’m not Rich.”

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 3 Panel 1: Amy now changes the question to Nick in the backseat, who somehow managed to wedge himself into the car after all. Amy: “and what about you, Nick. you looking to add more “input”?” Panel 2: Nick: “frankly I’m just glad I get to wrestle at all, you know me. but yeah, of course I want to show to flourish and evolve. It’s not like we have a full IOW crew, just a couple interns and a laptop. the show could benefit from some new ideas.” Panel 3: Amy, to Nick and Leo: “and have either of you actually brought any of this up to Rich or Gene?” Nick and Leo look at her like deer in headlights. Panel 4: Nick and Leo then blankly just stare at each other, waiting to see if either person says anything. Amy, after a beat: “uh huh. that’s what I thought.”

“Fight Like An Animal” by BlueBearryDreams Episode 4 Part 2 Panel 1: The group is now on the road. Leo: “easier said than done. remember that show we did 2 months ago where Rich accidentally disabled donations for the stream?” Amy: “how could I forget. he blamed it all on the interns, payday was $15 and a free snack from the concession stand.” Leo: “took a large popcorn. most calories, best overall value.” Panel 2: Leo looks out the window. Leo: “like, I’d never trade my spot away, ABW is the place to be for indie wrestling in the Midwest right now, and I trust Rich, Gene too, but-“ Leo hesitates. Leo: “idk, doesn’t matter. i’m rambling.” Panel 3: Amy has her eyes ahead on the road but is still fully listening to Leo. Amy: “no, please. continue. what are you thinking about, honey?” Panel 4: Leo thinks for a moment before he speaks, chewing on the words. Leo: “I just wish they’d let us help more, that’s all. you and I both stream. Nicky does graphic design and digital art n’ shit. hell, all of us have written potential spots and angles. Jun is a prodigy at it. you’d think they would appreciate more of our input.”
