Axe Thrower interview: whimsical ass pain
It’s story time, dear throwkin! Story time! Find your carpet squares and join me in the circle! So last year, after Jacky won the standard tournament, I did a little interview. It was a good one, and I was so…
League Runner Interview: Nick
Like I’d mentioned previously on this here absurd site, I took part in the very first marathon league that Drunken Smithy hosted. Nick, the league runner, was kind enough to offer me this league runner interview! But fair warning: we…

Lemons, an owner of RIOT Axe, once grounded me in a big way when I was kinda spiraling at an axe thowing tourney. I kinda used this interview as an excuse to tell her that (after like, a year), because…
