Purveyor of mildly-irritating curses. My organs are made of fondant. I love PB, seltzer, jesters, technicolor, rococo, Hansel & Gretel, 18th-century French History... oatmeal raisin cookies. I brought some. I am outside your house right now (look out your living room window). 24(thousand) years old. I also slice cake with a guillotine (mind the residual taste of copper). ☝️😁🩸
NOW SNATCH SOME CIRCUS PEANUTS (and candy corn & black licorice, of which are very delicious and I am objectively correct).
And prepare thineself for: acrobatics, somersaults, tumbling...
... TUMBLR-ING.

Zuwie i got taken by the abyss again, will you help me escape? 😔it smells of burnt toaster stroodels and over cinnamonized ciminnon rolls and snickerdoodles down here HALP💔😢
I PUT YOU THERE....... like a pet hamster given many luxurious amenities....... Why would you want to escape. Do I need to switch the snickerdoodles out for something else. Like oatmeal or something. Lemon crinkle. You like chocolate chip????? What about chocolate chip 😃
HI i just binged all of killjam over the course of 3 days and i’m obsessed, you kill it as bellamy!!! hearing during the q&a that you’re from nj, as a fellow new jerseyite, i must know 1) do you say taylor ham or pork roll and 2) what’s your wawa order
AAUGHHH THIS MADE MY ENTIRE MORNING Omg thank u SO MUCH, with all my heart and soul!!!! :^DD I'm so happy u are enjoying Killjam -- I'm just a small cog in the cyberpunk-styled machine that makes it run -- and I really appreciate ur kind words, it means a ton to me!!!!!! :,^D <3 <3
HELLO FELLOW EVIL NEW JERSIAN. All of us are related to Tony Soprano in some way (as you must know, as a fellow NJ-ian). I will now answer ur burning questions:
1) I say both taylor ham & pork roll because I love befriending and pissing off both sides of the argument
2) I am a bad New Jersian and barely go to WAWA for anything but the occasional gas BUT when I used to go more in middle school, I used to get mac & cheese and their lukewarm blueberry drip coffee from the selfserve.... Now I go to local coffee joints for the most part or Dunkin Donuts because there's a dunkin on every street corner of Jersey (as again you must know as a fellow evil New Jersian). And I always get black iced coffee with light ice because despite dressing like an lgbtq clown I order on par to a 50yr old straight man
3 (BONUS): I am the Jersey Devil
Now I implore you to answer the same questions: what do U say (taylor jam or pork roll), what is UR wawa order (so I know what to get nxt time I go), and DO YOU BELIEVE CENTRAL JERSEY IS REAL (the correct answer is yes). Also, do u know abt Storybook Land & the gingerbread castle in Hamburg NJ? I love reading the Weird NJ mag. Thank u for making my morning & being so kind :^DD Hope u have a wonderful wknd! And hope u enjoy S2 of KILLJAM (it's coming SOOOOONNN)!!!!! :^DD
ALSO: WATCH THE TRAM CAR PLEASE
This is going to sound supah cheesey but when ppl do sweet little things it can rlly make ur entire day. For example the other day I was on a walk (before the weather here got poop again, LOL) and an older lady and I waved at each other, and she said "Sending u lots of blessings and that u stay happy and healthy". And today at the local coffee place I go to b4 work, the dude who works here gave me a couple extra of their stickers unprompted (because he remembered I collect stickers to put in my planner). And a long time ago I was walking by the train station (in what I usually wear; insane clown outfits LMFAO) and this woman in NYC business attire said to me "Wherever u are going, I wish I was going!" And I said oh I just dress like this all the time, thank you!!! And she said "Oh! You're eccentric! I love it!!!" and I said I liked her pantsuit back :^) That one has rlly stuck with me, it was really sweet
Anyways and speaking of planners lol, I usually keep these kinds of thoughts to my private paper planner. Bc yes again I know how cheesey this sounds LOL. And also I dont want ppl to think "Oh ur so vain, why are you sharing all the times ppl have complimented u?! Fanning ur ego?!" because that's not what I'm doing and I'm so worried it's going to come across that way. What I'm tryna say is, when ppl do little things, I truly wish they knew how much it meant. And I wish some ppl knew how easy it is to return the compliment, and how easy it is to find and say something wonderful abt them. Last nite I went thru a drive-thru after work to get a seltzer, and the person working was the same mid-aged lady I've gotten a couple times, and she always wears this rlly cool, bright blue eyeliner. It is so easy to be considerate and kind to people and say nice things to them: like if they have a cool flower-printed sweater. And I get upset when ppl use so much more energy to be hateful instead. And so I say "It's the little things that matter". And even if I sound like a Home Goods inspirational wall cling, it's still true LOL I dunno!!!!! These kinds of interactions make me happy. Sorry to be sappy. Hey that rhymed Im Dr Seuss
We were going to wait until the Killjam OOC Q&A was out but that's going to take a while, that episode is going to be 2 hours, and I want the Kingmaker one to be out reasonably promptly once we hit our $4000 goal. anyway.
Submissions are open for the Kingmaker Histories Post-season 3 Q&A!
And inspired by the brilliant responses we've gotten to the Killjam questionnaires, this time we're giving our listeners the option to ask questions* in or out of character.
That's right- do you want to know what the characters of the Kingmaker Histories think of each other and their circumstances? Perhaps you want to ask if they have any medical advice, cocktail recipes, or hot takes on early 1910s current events? No longer do you have to wonder- through the magic of fourth wall breaking, you can now ask them directly!
And for those more interested in the behind-the-scenes craft, you can still ask anything you like of the cast and crew. (Though we do recommend listening to the last Q&A to avoid doubling up on questions.)
We can't wait to see what you guys send in, and we'll have the answers ready for you approximately as soon as the fundraiser reaches $4000 dollars!
*NB: Team WANA and all associated fictional characters reserve the right to ignore any questions that can't be answered without spoilers, or will be answered in episodes that haven't come out yet.
PAINFULLY OVERDUE POSTING ALL THESE PICS…… I made these Faustina & Bellamy themed cupcakes last yr to celebrate KILLJAM XXX’s @killjamxxx release :^D !!!! I would’ve loved to have made them from scratch but ingredients are expensive and I’m cheap like Bellamy and like using applesauce & aquafaba as egg replacers 👹🥚
My jammer gimmick is killing people and turning them into cupcakes. Pinkie Pie stole that from ME. Bellamy’s cupcakes are carrot cake (because he’s a carrot top) and has walnuts mixed in (because he’s a nut). 🧡💜 Faustina’s cupcakes are strawberry because OBVIOUSLY and confetti-ed with sprinkles because she is the most magical unicorn to me. She has that magical unicorn flair 🦄💖💙 They’re like those fabulous cupcakes from EP one!!!! (Yes I also added poison, just like those!!!!!) I think it’s fairly obvious who’s who; I tried to colourmatch their frostings and paper liners to their chara designs :^D
I also made this confetti celebration cookie from scratch..... and if u listen to the show, u will know exactly what the piping I did on top is referencing…….. 🚗💥💥👹
ALSO ALSO, I GOT A CAKE FROM A LOCAL BAKERY LAST YR. This was an impulse decision (a Faustina move); they did the lettering/decorating/everything on this one. It was only 8 United States dollars because it was a weekend special. And it was filled w blueberry jam (which reminded me of the BLUE JAMMER BLOOD. And I LOVE EATING JAMMER BLOOD) 🔥🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙😁
ANYWAYS THATS IT. I’d like to make a from-scratch, jam-filled cake someday, or some jam-filled cookies that are KILL-JAM themed, because I love making jam filled cookies. And I love killjam. And the jam must be blue. Again. Like the jammer blood. Did I mention I love eating jammer blood
THE KILLJAM XXX IN-CHARACTER Q&A IS DONE, AND WILL BE OUT WITHIN THE NEXT TWELVE-ISH HOURS!
We're just finishing up the transcript, but this thing is almost an hour long, so we hope you're ready to hear Faustina, Bellamy, Randy, Jesse, Mr. Dirge, Anna Konda, and Roger hardcore yapping.
Come join us this Wednesday evening /Thursday morning where we play some trivia games, raise a few more dollars towards season 4, and hopefully experience absolutely 0 setbacks.
Happily we can definitively report it will NOT be hosted from a hotel this year!
(this list is mainly ways non-locals can donate but by extension offers a lot of resources and places to volunteer in the Twin Cities + there are specific ways to donate time under the cut which can be adjusted to your local neighborhood)

Volunteer your time (under the cut)
🩵Mutual aid
Reach out to your neighbors – especially if you know they are staying home right now – and ask if they need groceries or toiletry items. Offer to pick up prescriptions, give rides, or shovel their driveway. If you know them well, bring them a treat that you know they'll enjoy. Or just ask them how they're doing and let them know you are there to support.
Connect with any of the orgs above and see if they are looking for volunteers.
Connect with a church or mosque in your area. From u/MuddieMaeSuggins: "I know a lot of regular Redditors are not religious (myself included) but like it or not this is a where a lot of community organizing happens, especially in immigrant communities."
Connect with your local school's admin office and/or their PTA. It's ok to reach out even if you don't have kids at the school. PTAs are organizing mutual aid for school families, safe rides, school observers.
🩵Activism
Find an official protest or other event via Indivisible, 50501, FREE AMERICA, or MIRAC. Students at many high schools are staging walk-outs; if your local school is doing this, reach out to school leadership or the PTA and ask how you can support as a community member.
Join the effort to stop Hilton from housing ICE by booking hotel rooms and then cancelling at the last minute. This action can be done from home! The effort is being organized by Sunrise Movement, who are telling activists to target specific hotels one-by-one. More info: SHUT DOWN HILTON
Find people in your area who are actively monitoring ICE and/or stationing themselves in high-traffic areas and ask how you can help. Check for local FB events where people are organizing and just show up.
At minimum, read the COPAL Handbook before you go out to observe. The DFL, Monarca, and other orgs have been hosting online trainings for constitutional observers (though these fill up quickly).
When you see ICE in action, start recording. Be as loud and as disruptive as possible: honk your horn, set off your car alarm, blow your whistle. Let people know that ICE is in the area. If you see someone being detained, try to get their name and a phone number to call their emergency contact.
If you do not feel comfortable observing ICE in person, there are ways you can support from home. Just ask the people who are organizing in your area. I have social anxiety, and I had never participated in any kind of political action before this past Saturday. If I can do it, you can!
Local organizers are requesting that people who help monitor ICE DO NOT participate in 1-to-1 mutual aid efforts, as these can put the families you are helping at risk.
If you have friends/acquaintances who are sympathetic but not politically active, reach out to them. Show them that they're not alone in feeling helpless. Pick a few low-commitment actions from this list and do them together.
