The difference is that jealous Ilya looks homicidal while jealous Shane looks suicidal

i think that was the closest our lines blurred between who we were in that moment and where they are in that moment. It was really beautiful, actually. i think we said a lot of things like, "i can't believe we've done this." i remember a lot of "i love you"s and "wow-i can't believe we've done it. i can't believe this happened."

Former Canadian hockey player talking about how he was closeted the whole time he played hockey (college & pro) and at one point snuck his secret boyfriend in through THE FIRE ESCAPE IN HIS APARTMENT IN MONTREAL and saying he thought he’d worked through that time of his life in therapy and has been out for a while and still almost had to turn the show off bc it was so vividly similar to his experience

Dismissing the show as pwp or smut (which to be clear are perfectly legitimate genres in their own right!) is such a wild misread of the story being told here

Like the whole point is that something that SHOULD BE just sex or a hookup is suddenly a massive career-threatening secret and the act of falling in love with someone just like all their teammates do openly becomes a monumental decision and decade-long plan riddled with constant anxiety, risks, and loneliness

It’s the queer experience in a nutshell, and the way sex is portrayed is an integral part of that

Gay pro hockey player Brock McGillis lived 'Heated Rivalry' - Outsports

For Brock McGillis, 'Heated Rivalry' is validating, deeply triggering and widely misunderstood. It's entertainment, people!

[fandomscraziness22]

finding a term that you’ve never heard before but it resonating with you so deeply is a really cool experience

and that is why research on queer identities, whether gender, sexuality, or romance, is so needed!

THIRD BASE

[lordkevington-deactivated-deact]

Since I was 8 and found out about this for the first time my family has always followed up on someone saying “I don’t know,” with shouting “THIRD BASE”

Well if you stupid, selfish baby boomers hadn’t created a world to fucked up to bring a life into then this would never happened.

Climate Change is a thing. People not being able to own a house until 50 is a thing.

Just saying.

Also, you would have hated the theoretical grandkids, anyway.

My job now is to outlive that man.

I will outlive him. I will be here when he is gone. I will be here when he has been erased. I will be here, telling stories, loving my wife, protecting my friends and family, cherishing joy and kindness and diversity. I will be here. He will not. It is only a matter of time.

[sw-or-gtfo-deactivated20211219]

my bf has many interesting stories and observations from his new job as a 911 operator

my favorite is how meandering people are, even in the midst of a terrible emergency

they respond to “what is the emergency” with “well, the thing is, four weeks ago–”

and then he’s like “WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY RIGHT NOW”

and they’re like “so what happened this morning was, i said to my wife, i said–”

“WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING AT THIS MOMENT”

“oh i’m having a heart attack”

my second favorite is how specific he has to get sometimes

like, “what is your emergency?”

“i’m sitting in a pool of blood.”

“… is it… your blood?”

“yes i think so”

“do you know where it’s coming from?”

“probably the stab wound”

“have you been stabbed?”

“oh yah definitely”

In all fairness shock is a hell of a drug

Slightly related true story from my family:

“911, what’s your emergency?”

“My house is on fire, but it’s just one wall and I have a fire extinguisher, so I think I can put it out.”

“Sir, please get out of the house. The fire engines are on their way.”

“I will in a minute, but I really think I can–”

“SIR. PLEASE. LEAVE THE HOUSE.”

“Fine.” [beat] “Okay, from out here I can see that the whole roof is on fire.”

"If Hollywood can stop hiring non LGBTQIA+ actors like @LukasGage to play LGBTQIA+ characters, that would be great. He has played 4 so far. 1 was enough."

Lukas Gage @LukasGage replies

"u don't know my alphabet"

"Then please, enlighten the whole world"
