I was 12 when the first of my siblings was born, so I have very vivid memories of the way my mother was excluded from a lot of spaces because people find children annoying.

If you think "children should not be allowed in this space," you HAVE TO reckon with the fact that you are now excluding parents (and very often women specifically) who don't have access to childcare. You are isolating people who are poor, or rural, or single parents, or any number of other factors that might prevent someone from having on-demand childcare. You are cutting them off from being able to exist in public. You are denying parents and children the ability to fully participate in society.

My mom spent several years only leaving the house to buy groceries or take me to school, and even then, people would still come up to her to complain TO HER FACE about how she shouldn't bring a crying toddler to Walmart. Entitled strangers would literally try and demand that my mom leave and come back without the kids.

"Why can't your husband watch them?" Because he was at work, usually working extreme amounts of overtime so we didn't get evicted, because landlords don't like it when you stop paying rent.

"Why can't you send them to daycare?" Because that costs money.

"Why can't your teenager stay home with them and babysit?" Because I also deserved to be able to leave the house for something other than school, and taking me to the grocery store was how my mom taught me to manage a household budget, shop sales, and meal plan.

"Don't bring your kid in public if you can't CONTROL them and make them stop crying!" Kids cry when they're upset, and being dragged around a store is upsetting! Don't be an asshole! Children are human beings who are still learning how the world works, and they don't have a lot of agency. You'd cry, too.

"Spank them until they learn to stop crying!" That's just straight-up child abuse, Jesus Christ.

What the fuck was our family supposed to do? Never go to the grocery store? Starve because strangers couldn't handle a toddler existing in public?

For everyone who ‘used to love reading’ but now hasn’t finished a book in years, you CAN get it back. Genuinely start bringing a book (preferably short and either fiction or a non fiction topic you already really enjoy) everywhere you go and when you have 5-20 mins waiting for the bus or at the doctors office or mechanic or whatever, get out your book and read it! You don’t have to finish it quickly or even read it often but it is so good for your brain and fun to get into the habit of reading more (and replacing being on your phone for those moments).

Yuna and David decide to clean out their storage one summer and enlist the help of Shane and Ilya. Shane had expected to feel a sense of loss over the precious days that could have been spent alone with Ilya at the cottage, since their time off is such a limited resource, but it's hard to hang onto that feeling when every box opened brings Ilya such open delight. It doesn't matter whether it's a box of clothes from the summer Yuna spent in Tokyo in her early 20s or a box of David's hockey gear and small number of trophies and medals, that had been long since packed away while all of Shane's accomplishments from his childhood were given pride of place. Of course there is a special kind of glee that overtakes Ilya whenever a box contains things from Shane's childhood. He pours over every poorly rendered childhood drawing, reads every single letter from a former teammate who moved away when Shane was eight and became more of a pen pal, squeals over boxes full of childhood clothing, tiny striped denim overalls and white sneakers with red laces, coos over a childhood teddy that is unearthed from one of the boxes, nearly cries when a torn and ragged piece of cloth is revealed to have been Shane's security blanket that had to be brought everywhere for several years.

In the end, cleaning out Yuna and David's storage ends with them adding boxes upon boxes to their own. Ilya, whose mementos from his own childhood are so sparse and hard-won, refuses to throw out a single scrap that he deems to be of significance and Shane is simply too soft for him to insist upon it.

What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?

When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.

I bet once Yuna gets to know Ilya as Shane's boyfriend, all the things that used to infuriate her about him as a player become endearing to her instead. Like before she would call him an asshole for the way he chirps everyone endlessly but now it's a good strategy and isn't it impressive how he's twice as clever in his second language as most other players in the league are in their first?

Shane calls her out on this change of heart and Yuna pretends she doesn't know what he's talking about.

cutting your own hair is fun because a) if you mess it up you can tell people "well, i did it myself" and they will instantly understand that they should not be holding your haircut to hairdresser standards b) if you DONT mess it up then whenever you get a compliment on your hair you can say 'thanks, i did it myself!' and they will think you are even cooler than you already are. trust me works every time.

Shane holding back a smile, so proud of himself because no one knows that he pulled Ilya into the supply closet and sucked him off right before practice.

Ilya holding back a smile because it's so cute how oblivious Shane is to the fact that none of the Centaurs have been able to meet his eye the entire morning and Luca blushes every time he so much as looks at either of them.

Ilya gets injured, it’s his fifth season with the Centaurs (second with Shane) and they won the cup the previous season and are looking like they’re going to win a second.

It’s not that bad, just a few dislocations. However those dislocations are his hip, ankle, and knee. He’s in a full leg compression splint. He’s out till the playoffs at least.

And Shane has to leave him. Again. Because their team needs him.

So Ilya is sitting at home with Anya, watching games and having depression fuelled insomnia.

It’s Harris who suggests Ilya take temporary medical fosters. A set schedule to make sure an innocent animal isn’t in pain and will eventually find their forever home.

So he takes in a tripod, fresh off of surgery. There are pain killers and appetite stimulants and low dose sedatives to make the crate rest easier on the poor thing.

Anya is so gentle with the new puppy, laying by the crate and being emotional support.

When Ilya’s cleared to do short walks is also when the tripod is cleared for short walks. He goes with Shane who understands why Ilya is fostering the dog and is so glad the tripod puppy is keeping Ilya from spiralling too much. Because Anya could survive the week without Ilya, but the tripod would be in pain.

Bood and Cassie end up adopting the tripod who’s so chill even off the sedatives that Milo pulls himself to standing with the tripod’s ears.

Ilya is cleared to return to the team for the playoffs but it becomes a Thing. If either of them are injured they take the estimate of when they’ll be cleared to return to the foster network Ilya found and they’re paired with medical fosters who need round the clock care for however long they’re out. It keeps them sane.
