Tbh the best way I could pitch Faustina from @killjamxxx is “What if Miku killed people with a machete for her fans instead of singing”
BELLAMY PINK..... THE MANAGER WHO GOES THE EXTRA MILE!!! 60 EXTRA MILES PER HOUR OVER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT!!!!!! One of my fav characters I have ever voiced EVER..... He watched American Psycho & took all the wrong things away from it. So sigma (not a compliment).
Stoked for u to MEET HIM THIS WEDNESDAYYYYY (IM BEATING HIM W MY FISTS!!!!!!) 🧑🦰
Bellamy Pink, Faustina’s mysterious savior, has an offer for the KILLJAM Queen: He wants to be her new manager. But can he be trusted? And will dealing with Bellamy’s own enemies mean more trouble than their potential partnership is worth?
Trailer Cast Includes: @machetebisexual as Faustina Fetamine, @reignoftiramizu as Bellamy Pink, Gianni Matragrano as Ramrod, @spaceboymb as Waiter, and Misha Bakshi as Molly Murderclown.

hey have you heard
yet?? bc you should!! it’s so fun and horny and full of violence and deeply biting commentary and did i mention its fun? i’ve laughed out loud at every episode so far! it’s wrestling death games and contracts and cyberpunk it’s a delight you should check it out
HOLY FUCK IVE JUST LISTENED TO KILLJAM XXX AND IT IS SO GOOOOOD YOU GUYS!
Faustina IS SO FUNNY AND AMAZING AND SO COOL AND NOOOOOOOOO WHY DO ALL THE CHARACTERS HATE HER SO MUCH SHE HAS HAD SUCH A BAD TIME I JUST WANT TO GIVE HER A HUG AND THE STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE THAT SHE NEVER GOT TO HAVE AND TELL HER THAT SHE IS LOVED- like, perfect sense of humour, especially for this site
Bellamy Pink- my guy’s voice he sounds young I absolutely LOVE how he is ready to throw hands (aka bring out his SUPER COOL MASSIVE GUN) for breaking his (one) business card, what a legend
The commentators: I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOUR- Jesse is so enthusiastic and Randy is sooo out of pocket it’s hilarious
Mara: You know what, we’ll see how it goes but she genuinely appears to care for Faustina, although she needs to see how shitty the company was treating Faustina as that was genuinely messed up
And Jonathan Sims is there?!?! And he gets some very funny lines!!!
I am sooooo going to be quoting things from this show- if you are a fan of Helluva Boss you will LOVE this unapologetically queer sci-fi violent comedy!!!
I'm Meg and I'm currently about halfway through producing season one of famous audio drama KILLJAM XXX. Unfortunately my laptop is old and needs a lot of parts replaced!
I have the tools to replace the battery myself, but not the other stuff. And my hard drive is out of free space, so I can no longer back up new episodes as I produce them. SO BASICALLY- if this machine explodes, I will lose huge amounts of progress. And also like loads of important documents and programs I need for work and shit. but who cares about those. LET'S KEEP IT TO KILLJAM.
ANYWAY. HERE'S WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:
200 DOLLARYDOOS FOR A NEW PORTABLE HARD DRIVE. This is the most important part, because I have an old desktop at my dad's house that I can use. but in order to use it for killjams I need to back up my laptop. and to do that. I need. a new portable hard drive.
1500 DOLLARYDOOS FOR A NEW LAPTOP. I am going to try and replace my macbok battery myself. but I'm kinda stupid so I might fuck it up. and ifixit doesn't sell speakers for this model. and professional repairs are expensive. so if I explode my computer with battery acid I will just need to nut up and get a new laptop.
If this sounds like lots of money please remember that those are AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS.
Anyway! If you'd like to help me out, I'm megsothoth on kofi! And I take commissions too- DM me for details!
UR SOOOO GONNA WANNA MEET – or should I say MEAT – SHANKHILL & HIS LOVELY (totally not homicidal) DAUGHTER!!!! I love family-run businesses!!!! I love family!!!! 🥩💛 I love...... paying Shankhill on time (or else)!!!!!! 🔪🔪💸🥩
In our first ever minisode (released in place of a full episode every four weeks, just so we can keep our lead on production time), we take a detour to Bellamy’s least favorite place: Shankhill’s Quality Meats - where the product is so fresh, it’s still screaming!
We’ll be back to regular episodes with JAM 5. We hope you enjoy this wholesome story of a father and daughter working together in the meantime…
Cast Includes: @machetebisexual as Faustina Fetamine, @voicesbyzane as Shankhill, @ashleecraft as Kelsey, and Jamie Douglas as Michael.

When Episode Five of @killjamxxx comes out this is how I hope people feel about Faustina and Bellamy coexisting from then onwards
I just found this photo I had saved from Opera San José's 2019 production of Hansel and Gretel, which was mostly a traditional staging, but which costumed the Witch in a creative way:
She started out wearing a conventional peasant dress, but after she revealed her wicked nature, she shed the dress to reveal this androgynous steampunk-style outfit with knickers and a necktie. And instead of a broomstick, she rode a bicycle.
@ariel-seagull-wings, @adarkrainbow
I will complete my trilogy of Hansel and Gretel stage adaptations of fascinating visuals with this piece. I made several posts about the Royal New Zealand Ballet's adaptation and its homages to Germanic cinema (and obscure carnival traditions). I reblogged something about the Hänsel and Gretel concert of Lindemann-Tägtren and its disturbing, horrifying but also darkly clownesque visuals... And now I bring you the San Diego Opera adaptation of the famed Hansel and Gretel opera, with quite impressive puppetry!
I will copy-paste here the content of an article by Beth Accomando, which can be read in its original form here.
It’s not every day that an opera singer gets to bring a cannibalistic witch to life.
"I lure children into the forest and I cook them into gingerbread cakes and then I eat them. It's delightful," said tenor Joel Sorensen.
But what’s not so delightful is having to wear a big puppetry rig to create a larger-than-life witch onstage.
"I am a puppet," Sorensen explained. "The witch is a puppet, a very large puppet. And I have a colleague, Iain [Gunn], behind me. He bears the bulk of the weight on his back. So I'm basically working with a puppet while trying to sing and convey a character. It's a real challenge."
The challenge for director Brenna Corner in bringing Engelbert Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" to the San Diego Opera stage was how do you bring a fairy tale to life?
"One of the things that I think is really tricky about 'Hansel and Gretel' is size. How do you make two grown-ups look like they're kids and two other grown-ups look like they're adults? And then someone else looks sort of even bigger and more powerful. And quite frankly, the best way I could figure out how to do that was puppets," Corner said.
So anything that was not human became a puppet. Like the witch.
"It's different in that it's not my physicality. So, because I'm manipulating her hands, her arms, and I'm working in tandem with [Gunn] so I can't move as quickly as I might normally or as sharply but facially and vocally, I'm trying to do the same things that I would do if I were performing it without a puppet," Sorensen said.
Now if you are thinking of puppets as something you put on your hand, think again. Imagine actors completely enveloped in layers of fabric with a large sculpted head or face high above their shoulders and an arm span that exceeds 10 feet.
"We had to really kind of blow up the notion of what a puppet is in order to successfully encompass the fusion of opera and puppetry," said Judd Palmer of Old Trout Puppet Workshop in Calgary. "Our inspiration was classic 19th century children's book illustrators like Arthur Rackham or N.C. Wyeth. We wanted the whole thing to feel like it comes out of a book and it becomes the illustrations coming to life like a pop up book."
Palmer designed the puppets for a production in Canada and Iain Gunn of Animal Cracker Conspiracy here in San Diego is now the puppeteer working with Sorensen to play the Witch onstage.
"I get to live inside this character that I'm helping to bring alive," Gunn said. "But she has her own voice standing right in front of me. I don't know how to describe it, but I feel like I am transported inside this imagination. It's like I'm in the 'Time Bandits' or something like that where … we're doing something magical and it's a magical character and the only reason it's alive is because we're in there giving it our all. So it's pretty cool."
The puppets engage the audience in a unique way.
"It's this agreement that the audience makes with the performers," Corner explains. "That we agree not to see the person who's obviously a person and instead we agree to look at what is fabric and some PVC pipe and a plaster-like face, right? But we agree to do that. So what's extraordinary to me about puppetry is that as an audience, we're continually investing our imagination in seeing the thing that the performers want us to see and then as the performers keep investing in that then all of a sudden they go away. They don't exist there anymore and it becomes something else kind of magical."
By not trying to fool the audience and instead asking them to play along in this game of make-believe, the audience becomes a co-conspirator.
Palmer pointed out, "You can see the puppeteer right there in a ridiculous outfit. They're sweating and panting from having to run across the stage and they're waving the puppet around. It lets us all in on the joke in a way but also in the kind of the dream. It makes it evident to everybody in the audience that they are going to have to invest imaginatively in this in the same way as the people on stage are."
It's recommended that you bring a child-like sense of imagination to this show.
"That joy that you had when you were a kid," Corner said. "And you could imagine what would happen if a stick was suddenly a giant scary monster. I think that's what you want to bring to this production because that's what this production creates is the sense of wonder and joy and mystery that's inherent in being a kid."
And inherent in a story that begins with the magical possibilities of once upon a time…
San Diego Opera’s production of Engelbert Humperdick’s "Hansel and Gretel" opens Saturday and will have three additional performances through Feb. 16 at San Diego Civic Theatre.
The day Bellamy was born was the same day they made bullying legal
25 years old. He/Him. Current con artist, aspiring manager. Voiced by @reignoftiramizu
You may recognize him from the KILLJAM XXX podcatcher logo, alongside Faustina
If he gives you his business card, he’s gonna ask for it back because he can only afford one.
He is trans and is also completely comfortable committing murder to achieve his goals 🥰
His left arm has been replaced by a military-grade cybernetic. You don’t wanna know where he got it.
He reads too many self-help books.
He has an extremely interesting offer for one Faustina Fetamine…
When Episode Five of @killjamxxx comes out this is how I hope people feel about Faustina and Bellamy coexisting from then onwards
If ever you’ve dreamed of a team up between an autistic disaster bi gal with a giant machete and a morally flexible trans man with a robot gun arm, that’s weirdly specific, but KILLJAM XXX is definitely the fiction podcast for you!

Faustina is not having a very good time. A very very bad time one might say.
