#DragonAscendant fans, if you haven't seen this movie yet, try and get ahold of it. It's *really* weird about this part of Masamune's story, but is still strangely entertaining:
"speaking as Masamune's most recent biographer" is not a phrase I ever imagined I'd be able to say, let alone on my Twitch stream, but...here we are. #DragonAscendant

Editing the season finale of #DragonAscendant -- #FridayNightHistory Season 4 -- I had to pause and revisit the season premiere, to get through my own head that my effort in voice training, and making a midatlantic accent more natural, have both come a long way in less than a year.

Date Masamune makes a desperate, white-knuckle trip to reach Edo before death claims him. The nation mourns the dragon's passing. And just south of Mount Aoba on the Hirose riverbank, the making of a legend is completed. #DragonAscendant Ep. 32 is "Dragon Ascendant" buff.ly/HilAQA6 #JapaneseHistory
Now that I've finished #DragonAscendant, here's a song for you featuring Freddie Mercury, who like Date Masamune was a flamboyant musically inclined bisexual born on September 5th. You might have heard it before...
