sports demons

AM. 29. agender. (mostly philly) sports and otherwise multifandom i tag extensively for your muting pleasure!

[ayyyem]

ayyyem's pinned post!

I'm only back here cause I got interested in flyers hockey again and needed a place to rpf in peace. Also my feelings about the phillies were breaking containment.

I tag extensively for muting purposes!

my teams:

phillies, eagles, sixers, flyers (sensing a theme here.)

my al teams: the entire al east other than the y*nkees and red s*x (don't care about the rays except insofar as they lost to us in the 2008 world series

wnba/nba faves: Breanna Stewart, Kahleah Copper, Napheesa Collier, Damian Lillard, Tyrese Halliburton

no such thing as a second team in the nfl for me but I have a soft spot for the ravens and bills

will be taking secondary teams in the pacific/central into consideration this season.

as the title suggests, my special fascination is players who are demons or seem to be haunted by them, hence my particular interest in Trevor Zegras and Alec Bohm.

on that note, here are some of my feelings about sports fandom and RPF.

that's all, peace and love! ideally I'll make some wnba gifs eventually! (but let's be real not til next season at this point)

Great moment

i'm almost done baseball posting I swear but did you know that cristopher sanchez needed to put on weight to become a better pitcher so he hired a caterer and he loved her food but then they fell in love with each other and she literally nourished him into being the pitcher he is today and now they are married and have a child together :)

baseball is too narratively-rich to be losing to hockey in the rpf war this badly

[ayyyem]

wait I just realized the baseball RPF link isn't clicked how embarassing. TRUST I am reading baseball rpf!!!!!!!!!

[miouex]

cleaning out my drafts a little and i dont remember what picture prompted this but i Know i was talking about quinyon mitchell and the point i was halfway to making absolutely still stands

[ayyyem]

one of the two pitchers ahead of sanchez in scoreless innings is Don Drysdale (a dodger like Orel Hersheiser who's number 1 all time) and i've had to keep myself from giggling and thinking too much about pitcher!Jamie in checked swing by dilangley during the various converstations I've had in person and I've been talking about it a lot lmao

cristopher sanchez is the most special most important person in the world to me. 50 2/3 scoreless innings. third most in the live ball era. thank you for a glorious month of baseball viewing.

baseball is cruel and beautiful and capricious. every at bat is the game inside the game. an infinite number of results between a finite set of outcomes. what if that ball went to right instead of left. what if brandon marsh, who's having an all-star year, made a better throw. the next at-bat? well of course it's an easy fly-out. that's baseball.

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

Edit: Yes, this also works on mobile!

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.
