the beggar’s benison was a sacred order of knights in 1700s Scotland devoted to the study and reverence of male sexuality, to making sex not-weird and not-shameful. “bad maidens” centers on the lass’ (lassies? lassi?) that did the dirty work for the order. maybe homoerotic hangouts are not just not-weird, maybe it's super awesome. maybe penis-touching and cumming on a plate with your boys is the key to true liberation. and maybe, that story is better told by the maidens, and not the knights. maybe.

When otaku-besties Ren and Mai step outside to discover an anime-blue sky, their first thought is, “Damn, this edible is strong.” But they quickly discover something more sinister afoot. A Sailor Moon-esque adventure through the Bay Area pits our nunchuk-armed heroes against one villain after the next - from a maniacal rice cooker to evil BART contortionists to supercharged Dim Sum cart ladies. These unlikely heroes must save the Bay Area, but they can’t do it alone: they’ll need help from Mai’s tough-love parents, Ren’s over-involved sister, and maybe even a cute corner store employee.

After their mother's recent passing, two sisters, Lin and Baby, are tasked with packing up their mother's house for an estate sale. They're confronted with the challenge of deciding: what memories are worth keeping? what memories should we sell? While they figure it out, something (or someone) else lurks in the darkness, waiting. Y'know what they say, one man's trash is a demon's treasure. That's what they say. .. right?

Auntie Bobbie has sat you down to tell you the story of why Guam is shaped the way it is. Although she doesn't remember all of it, she tries her best. She does all the voices and sound effects. The story seems to dig a bit deeper into Auntie Bobbie's life than we would expect, helped by the many wine coolers that Auntie Bobbie is drinking.

Based on a traditional CHamoru folktale, The Young Maidens Who Saved Guam.
