there's something kind of you-can't-go-home-again about being a hockey fan in terms of, like, your "first" roster is always going to be "your" roster, no matter how long ago it was or how many people have been swapped around, how many trades, how many retirements, how many free agencies you live through. it'll never be exactly like that again. it probably wasn't even exactly like that for a full season. i know there's a lot of jokes about "how do athletes deal with trades. what about their friends?" but it's also, like, what about us? what about our friends? to me, the penguins are always going to be, like, brian boyle and jason zucker and brian dumoulin and evan rodrigues and john marino, but for other people, the penguins go back even further than that. hags and horny and nealer and flower. you don't have to go too far down on reddit to find people who think about mario and jagr. i was a fairweather bandwagon fan for the avs when they won the cup and that exact lineup holds its shape in my mind perfectly, but talk to someone who follows the team for real and they have a tyson jost-shaped hole in their picture of the cup team that's still not healed over. i just love that. the inherent melancholia of being a sports fan is not knowing you're in the good ol' days when you're in them and then trade deadline comes. and the trade deadline comes every year.

i want to start a world war in wm tag (going crazy, wacklins do something)

Who is more smitten? You HAVE to pick a side and both sides need to argue in the court with proper evidence and testimonies.

It could be fun or it could turn into a bloodbath really fast. Me, personally, i am hoping for a bloodbath.

Anon, why have you chosen me of all people as the vessel for war? I’m literally Switzerland when it comes to these things, and the tag has suffered enough!

So rather than a bloodbath, I propose a friendly little discussion circle <3

If I absolutely had to pick, I’d say Mack is more smitten but only in the sense that if Will were to be taken away from him right at this very moment, by force or by choice, he’d be devastated in ways that would be difficult to describe and even harder to witness, because he’d treat losing Will like a catastrophe.

But (!!) if Mack were taken away from Will, I think Will would feel it like a chronic pain condition, like a rotten tooth he can’t pull that leaves behind this low, insistent ache every single day.

I think Will’s presence brings Mack so much visible joy and fulfillment that, from an outsider’s perspective, Mack naturally looks more smitten. Whereas I think Mack’s absence would create a void in Will’s life so enormous he wouldn’t even realize how completely that space had once been filled until it was empty.

I think some people love others very loudly in their presence, whereas others discover the full shape and weight of their own love in their absence. Will would grieve Mack like a missing limb, like something his body would keep expecting to find there for decades, if not forever. Which is why Will looked like a wreck when Mack left for the Olympics, and Mack looked like a sunflower turning towards the sun when Will came down to see him in Vancouver.

Once again laughing at the idea of how DISTRAUGHT Celebrimbor would be post-reembodiment to discover that Gimli, only dwarf to ever come to the Undying Lands, skilled craftsman and silver-tongued elf-charmer and basically Celebrimbor's new favorite living person in all Middle-earth starting from about ten minutes after he gets off that boat...

That Gimli is married to this absolute disaster of a Wood-elf, who has no smith-craft at all and frankly doesn't even know which end of an iron bar to grab when he is in the forge (hint, Legolas: it's the one that isn't going to burn your skin off you moron!) and is just as likely to trip on his own tongue as to say something actually eloquent and just...

Celebrimbor is distressed, okay. Legolas is a PROBLEM.

And he can't even talk to his best friend about it, because Gimli is the one in love with this idiot! wtffffff! why? HOW!?

Why in the hell isn't Narvi here. Narvi would understand.

#😂😂😂 #Kind of in uncheritable of him but 100% true probably 😅 #Celebrimbor is distressed #But would probably also feel terrible about it when Legolas keeps being unfailingly nice to him #Because that insufferable feanorian geek talking near unintelligible forge nonsense all the time is his beloveds new bestie in aman #So he knows he just has to try #They’ll get there in the end I’m sure 😅 #Headcanon unconditionally accepted!

Celebrimbor is SO distressed! It's not fair, hasn't he suffered enough? Who could be so cruel as to send him this absurd Woodland Cryptid now to deal with on top of everything he's already endured!???

And you're right, it would distress him even more how nice Legolas is being about it all, ugh. Celebrimbor is forced to grit his teeth and smile and swallow all the things he WANTS to say never mind that Legolas is an old friend of Aragorn and son of Thranduil and associate of Gandalf and he is actually very big on sass and snark, and probably would be perfectly happy to exchange some snippy banter if Celebrimbor started it ahem because he can't be rude to A: Gimli's bff or B: someone being so DANG NICE to him! UGH!

(Jury is out on whether or not Legolas eventually picks upon this, and decides to be even nicer just to needle Tyelpe. The line between "genuinely guileless" and "trolling the shit out of someone" can get real thin with this one, I think, and even Gimli can't always tell when that cheerful artless smile is genuinely oblivious or not.)

But! you're also right, I think Legolas does grow on Celebrimbor eventually. Like a fungus. (Gimli can sympathize.) And they do become genuinely friendly with one another, eventually. Although I doubt Celebrimbor ever ceases to be UTTERLY BEWILDERED either.

"The Fencing World Championships will introduce the "Sword Tip Visualization System." This system was developed by Japanese engineers, used at the Tokyo Olympics, and can track and display the sword tip's movement trajectory without any markers." (X)

Fencing tracking and visualization system

This website explains the process of our development from 2012 to the present.

here is more about the technology!

[white-throated-packrat]

I love this technology. It lets me actually understand what is going on and see how one fencer is able to get through by taking advantage of their opponent's large, open swings by tightly controlling how they move their own sword in smaller, more controlled circles.

Will's insta story on August 13, 2026

[nrilliree]

I love Steve Rogers from CA:WS. He's my favorite Steve.

He's incredibly competent in this movie, using all his old knowledge and new (mostly practical) to his advantage. Want to surprise him in the elevator? No, bitch, you can't, because your army boots with your suit will sow seeds of doubt. Want to hide a Nazi bunker? Steve knows military etiquette better than you.

He rocks. HE DESTROYED JET WITH ONLY HIS SHIELD. He's a one-man army that works perfectly in a team.

He's adapted to the modern world and ready to move on. He's not hysterically clinging to the past. He makes new friends (Sam) and considers potential relationships on his own ("Kate").

He's not afraid to speak up and to tell someone off, he stands his ground, he's SASSY.

And despite that, he's still an absolute complete idiot when it comes to Bucky, and I love him for it, because how can you not love a MORON who would get himself killed for his bae 😭?

[argentist]

He wasn't even looking at me and he found me. (x)

A perfectly natural heterosexual black swan couple raising their cute fluffy babies together as God intended <3

SIKE

THEY'RE GAY

And they're not some rare exception to the rule, either!!!

About 25% of black swan couples consist of two swans of the same sex (typically, two males).

These couples will court each other, build a nest, and raise their young together in a more-or-less committed monogamous relationship.

In fact, these same-sex couples have a high success rate of 80% when raising their young to adulthood, as opposed to the 30% of their heterosexual counterparts! Two big buff papa swans are better than one when it comes to stomping on invaders of nesting territory.

"But," I hear you say, "where do their baby floofballs come from? Does mpreg exist among black swans?"

Alas, no, but there is a very elegant solution to this. The swan couple may simply temporarily associate themselves with a female swan.

Afterwards, the female swan deposits their eggs and swims off free to live her single girlie life if she wishes (or, find a boyfriend. Preferably one who isn't already committed to another boyfriend.)

So whenever someone commits the naturalistic fallacy "homosexuality bad because unnatural >:(" I like to point out not only their glaring illogicality, but also, respectfully, there is homosexuality happening in the local lake right now.

This concludes my Ted Talk on gay swans.
