“This isn’t what I want. This isn't what I ever wanted. But I cannot do this any longer, Shane.” Ilya took a shaking breath and reached for him, catching himself at the last moment and forcing his hand back to his side. “You have been my safe place to land for so long, Hollander. I cannot keep lying to you. And I am begging you, do not do this.”

“Don’t do- don’t do this?!” Shane’s voice was too loud, too far above his usual calm cadence that Ilya loved so much. “Are you fucking kidding me right now?! I’m not the one being an asshole!”

“Yes you ARE!” Ilya’s own voice rose to a level he was always desperate to avoid. But it was impossible now. This was Hollander. It was Shane, he was everything. Shane is his everything. And Ilya was losing him. “You are asshole, Hollander!” It is always them first!” He pointed at the wall, at nothing. But God, was his meaning clear. The paparazzi, the fans, the league. “It is ALWAYS them! Never me! Never we! I am sick of… of-” Ilya wanted to scream. Was he screaming? Surely that roar hadn’t come from Shane.

“Ilya-”

“I cannot do this anymore, Shane.” Ilya was hyperventilating, on the verge of a panic attack. What was he doing?! “My whole life I have pleased other people, forced myself to live for other people. I cannot keep living like this. I will not, Hollander. I… I came to your cottage, first time making selfish choice in a very, very long time. For a long time, I was happy. We were happy, Shane. But I am sick of not being allowed to love you same way we get to love hockey. I am tired of being afraid. I am begging you Shane. We can just tell the world. Was fine for the old man Scott Hunter. It can be fine for us too.”

“Scott Hunter was overdue for his retirement, Ilya. It didn’t matter when no one wanted to sign him because he’s ancient!"

Ilya stared. Was Shane even listening? Ilya was losing his mind, losing himself, losing Shane. He was begging Shane to hear him, to love him, to let him love him in the open and his take away was it’s fine for Scott Hunter to openly love a man because his career was basically over?!

So…sometimes…I write blurbs. Sometimes…they are sad. Today was a sad blurb day. It was also the first blurb for Heated Rivalry.

I dunno. I will probably never expand on this the way I want to but who knows!! I had a whole story planned out for it. But I didn’t hate this so… *pushes onto your dashboard* here you go.

a lot of my autism masking is just making myself more palatable for other people and my therapist said "does spock make himself 'more palatable' for others?" and had me promise to keep unmasking like:

[wlfb0ygrl]

saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him

[whispy-witch]

i want this man in my inventory

[grifalinas]

My favorite form of redemption arc is “I hate that I have morals now”

[grifalinas]

Like “I realized that I was in the wrong and now I will work hard to atone” is good and all, but “how dare you infect me with morals” will always be so much more entertaining

[gh0sthoodie]

That moment the former baddie starts to walk away from some bad situation, almost gets out, and then just stops, curses, and turns around to go help?

*chef’s kiss* delicious

[grifalinas]

This one gets it

[thali-lemmonpie]

They're opening the largest one from 1975 in like 19 months.

[dragonessmiralis]

They’re opening the largest one from 1975 in like a month

[starryvioletnight]

They're opening the largest one from 1975 in like five days

[warden-draws-sometimes]

Theyre opening the largest one from 1975 in four days

so guess who went to the time capsule

[smileycube]

photos of the inside (part 2/?)

[smileycube]

photos of the inside plus some of the items from the time capsule (part 3/?)

[smileycube]

items from inside the capsule. guy on the Capsule Team (event volunteers, i imagine) said that this old beat up car was in the pyramid part of the capsule rather than in the underground chamber. iirc, you could pay a dollar to dent the car and then write your name on it— but window breaking was off limits! (part 4/?)

[smileycube]

items inside the capsule. these were all stored in the house of davisson (another community project by the guy who made the time capsule). there were masks provided for anyone with health issues and it was super hot inside (part 5/?)

[smileycube]

items inside the capsule. the paper has a list of some of the items in the capsule— the parking ticket for the car is a personal fave. had to take a short break from posting images because some kids blew up the park port-a-potty again. such is life (part 6/?)

[smileycube]

more shelves of time capsule items! there were a lot of company donations. in the last pic, you can see the original groundbreaking shovel (part 7/?)

[smileycube]

still more items from the capsule! ft. my purple shoe and the old car from part 4 (part 8/?)

[smileycube]

finally, the pièce de résistance: the brand new 1975 chevy vega (as brand new as a car from 1975 that was buried underground for 50 years can be). near the car was a little tent with souvenir items and another tent where people who had placed an item into the time capsule (or whose relatives had done so) could fill out forms to retrieve their items. (part 9/?)

[fairycosmos]

i hate when rich people condescend with the whole 'money can't buy happiness' argument like listen. just because buying your fourth car didn't fill the void in your deluded disconnected-from-reality life doesn't mean not having to worry about food/ bills/medicine wouldn't greatly improve the mental health of literally everyone else on the planet

Yeah, it's time to get this post out again

Asking because currently I only post to ao3!!!! but I often feel like I'm not reaching as many people as I could??? IDK.

If you see this in the wild, hit me with a response and maybe a reblog so I can figure my life out!

Thanks pals

starting to suspect that tech bros actually just don’t know what reading is

[menaceanon]

I know I just reblogged this but I think the really important takeaway here is that this techbro is not genuinely asking “how can we improve fanfiction?” What he’s asking is “how can we tap into this massive market?”

I keep thinking about how many of these chat bots are free—for now. And of course they are! It’s a classic marketing technique when you’re trying to get your foot in the door with a novel product: let folks use it, let them get used to it, then start charging for it. You don’t have to look any further than streaming to see a very recent example of how this happens.

And it’s going to happen with AI.

There’s nothing these assholes love more than making money off of other people’s hard work. But you can’t legally charge for fanfic! So how do you get around that? You charge for a chat bot (which you trained on other people’s fanfic). You can’t charge for the content, but you can charge for the thing that produces the content.

AI is theft, and there are a whooooole lot of people gleefully looking to make a buck off of our hard work.

Don’t use AI, don’t feed AI your favorite fic writers’ and artists’ work, don’t read AI fic, don’t engage with it. And if you do, well, I can’t force you to give a shit about other people, but AI is a paywall being built, brick by brick, between you and the things you love. Stop slathering on the mortar.

Lately I've been seeing stars.

[alanaisalive]

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

[iguanamouth]

oh shit

[alanaisalive]

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
