Time to give some massive love to our Season Two Storyteller @potaytayto.bsky.social ! Bloom&Blight is officially a finalist for Best Host of an Actual Play at @nzwebfest.co.nz!

Simplified poster for Bloom&Blight Season 2, Part 2, with six white film festival laurels down the sides, and one up top. Dark background, with art of Dark Lark. Lark stands facing away from the camera, a glowing white spear in hand. The spear has purple and pink ribbons tied to it, and a yellow ribbon is tied in Larks hair. She looks resolute and defiant, her hair and costume billowing in a breeze. Below her, reflected in water, is another Dark Lark. This time, she is in her hands and knees, looking defeated, her hair and costume are limp, and her skirts are tattered. Her spear is a full metallic colour, chipped at the end and stained in blood. The ribbons are missing. Above both Dark Larks, a pair of red, glitching mechanical eyes loom in the darkness. The dark background fades to stars at the top. Seven sets of laurels show web festival nominations. In the middle, a new set of laurels reads “Finalist, Best Host of an Actual Play, NZ Web Fest”. Down the sides are six others. Two read: “Official Selection”, one for New Jersey Web Fest 2025 and one for Sydney Web Fest 2025. Four other sets read “2025 Award Nominee, New Jersey Web Fest”, each for a different category: Outstanding Science Fiction AP (Podcast), Best Sound Design of an AP, Best Premise of an Actual Play, Best Ensemble Cast of an AP (Podcast).
