  2. Character Creation Jamboree | Sidebar

    MAY 11

    Character Creation Jamboree | Sidebar

    Sean and Lisa strike back, this time with a slate of character creation delights! We discuss the Path to Castle Wawa, lezzing out in Boston, and being the possum lady. Note: Boston being a particularly sapphic city is a misconception/anachronism on Lisa’s part. It stems from the phrase “Boston Marriage,” which refers to the 19th century phenomena of two women sharing a close domestic relationship, often between college-educated and financially independent New Englanders. These partnerships could be of a romantic or platonic nature (though there are some darling love poems in the link above).
