Same cause as a lot of problems: the UK has an incredibly right-wing press (mostly owned by a few billionaires) that pumps out propaganda all the time

Due to rising costs alongside a reduction in audience spend amidst the cost of living crisis, the Bristol Improv Theatre is under threat of closure. We need your help now, more than ever to save our theatre and secure its long term future.

We're promoting three key ways that you can support us. These are:

  • Donate to the campaign
  • Buy Tickets
  • Tell a friend

If you’ve thought about donating to us before but haven't got round to it; if you've never been to the Bristol Improv Theatre before and always wanted to; or if you’re on the fence about taking a class or coming to a show, now is the time. Make the most of this hidden gem in Bristol.

I think the truth is women do like muscly men, but men tend to overestimate how muscly. Like swimmer physique is attractive, hollywood batman physique is male power fantasy; or something

There's really no good reason to believe that the devourer is Chronos/Saturn, that the devouree is even a child, or that either body is male.

There is a good reason to think it's a child - it looks like one. Just not necessarily the child of the devourer
