One year ago while watching the Ignition Fire show at Midsummer Renaissance Faire, I exclaimed to my friends and family "I want to do that...I'm going to do that!"
As a longtime member of the faire I'd been watching the troupe perform for a few years, but due to life events hadn't had the bandwidth to join, but in that moment something felt different.
Jump forward a year, and I did it!! I got to fulfill my dream of performing with Ignition on the Midsummer arena, and words can not express how amazing that felt.
While I, and many others were sad to hear the news that we would not be performing at Midsummer for weekend 2 & 3 I still feel so fortunate to have had the chance to live out my dreams of performing with Ignition on that stage.
A huge thank you to all the fans who came out to support us, to Ignition for giving me the skills to live out my dreams as a fire breathing dragon, and to Midsummer for supplying such a great venue for folks to gather.
While I do not know what the future has to hold, I'll always be grateful to have had the chance to fulfil a dream of mine, and for all the new friends I've made along the way.
For those who would like to see Ignition perform, or would like to help us fundraise for our upcoming show at Burning Man please consider donating HERE.
Our fundraising venue recently burned down (not due to troupe activities) so any little bit helps.
Also, a huge thank you to Angel González Rivera & Alexandra Triplett for capturing these photos. My mom was hoping to catch my performance the second weekend, but due to recent events, these may be the only photos of me performing with the group at Midsummer, so having them to share means so much. Thank you both! ❤️
There are some Crowley fanart where he plays with the fire…beh when we have a Crowley cosplayer that he is also a professionist firejuggler 😉 and this is the result 🔥

What do you MEAN you're going to remove one of the most important aspects of Sokka's character arc in the first season? What do you MEAN you're going to remove Sokka unlearning misogyny, accepting change and embracing his role as a fighter and protector of the Avatar in order to end the war? What do you MEAN???
