About Us
We are a queer and trans led, majority BIPOC, Girl by Moonlight actual play podcast following the generations of magical girls who call Oliva Bay home. Spanning across genres, Bloom&Blight explores themes often found in magical girl media, including queerness, love, loss, healing, and community – all with a healthy dose of action and adventure! Give us a listen today and find the magic you’re meant to wield!
Support the Show
Bloom&Blight is known for its high quality and sound design, a kind of production that can be quite costly. If you love what we do and would like to help ensure we can continue to do it, you can support us directly!
DarefulArchives
DarefulArchives is a production unit and podcast network founded by Anna Maeve, and led by Anna Maeve and Kit Ira. With a focus towards stories often excluded from popular actual play shows, DarefulArchives aims to produce high quality actual plays that highlight marginalized communities though narrative-focused, character-first stories.
