“Haunting the narrative” but it’s the procedures at your job the person before you put in place
Yup.
Pop Sugar editors share the awards they’d give Connor Storrie for his portrayal of Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry | via Instagram
I don't know if I will ever feel comfortable coming out as aroace, despite being comfortably aroace. The other day someone asked me if I was queer and I felt so uncomfortable saying yes, because even if it is true, I knew it was still painting the wrong picture in this persons mind. And throughout the rest of the evening it was obvious they thought I was bi but I couldn't correct them because it's not an easy "oh I'm not X I'm Y", it's a whole new conversation: opening yourself up to uncomfortable and invasive questions, opening yourself up to the other persons astonishment and bafflement which just makes you feel more othered, opening yourself up to being hurt by casual assumptions and dismissive comments or just plain awkward silence. and usually it ends with the feeling that you didn't do enough to paint the right picture, to explain everything in a way that leaves no false impressions, that you didn't find the right words to make them truly understand you. despite such understanding taking years and years of work. It's so frustrating!
Shane and Ilya have a "don't go to bed angry" rule and they're very very very serious about it no matter what
OK but what if they have a huge fight and neither one wants to talk to the other so they just. Sit there. On the sofa. Seething quietly after their shouting match. With their arms crossed. The hour gets later and later but NO GOING TO BED ANGRY so they don't go to bed and fight to keep their eyes open but it gets harder and harder. And they just keep falling asleep for a second and throwing their eyes open and "no I was not asleep" and it gets more and more ridiculous so they end up just giggling and it gets louder and they are just laughing and laughing from sheer fatigue and fall asleep on the sofa cuddled and extremely not angry anymore.
ALL. OF. THIS.
Happy pride month my peeps!! (Why the fuck are we half way thru the year already?)

somehow it comes up that troy had a crush on shane and was going to ask for his number. and after troy gets ribbed by his teammates and ilya makes a big scene, shane is like, “well i never would’ve gone out with you lol.”
and troy smiles, “right, because you were with roz the whole time.”
“i mean, yes, but also because you and dallas kent spent years calling me and jj ‘rush hour’ and asking hayden if his wife was his beard to cover up his big gay relationship with me.”
the rest of the centaurs blink. harris puts his head in his hands and groans.
and troy’s like, “oh. right. sorry about that :/“
some amazing additions from the tags
You know, I think one of the reasons Heated Rivalry and the susequent rise to fame of Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie have grabbed me so much, is the amount of FUN in it, and the amount of fun it brought me.
Sure, I enjoy TV shows and reading and I have fun with so many other things in my life, but this is just... Pure joy? And not just the show, the story [the 100+ fics I've read as well], but Hudson and Connor simply blooming in front if us, getting appearance after appearance, going to the Olympics, and the Golden Globes, dressing in sheer clothing, modeling clothes and jewelery, being unhinged, being SUPER HOT ON COMMERCIALS AND TV SHOWS AND VIDEOS, and having the FUCKING TIME OF THEIR LIVES.
I haven't seen someone enjoy their hard-earned fame in so long, it's a joy to see.
I hope they have ao much more of everything - work, fame, and fun.
Can't wait for what they do next - and for the second season.
this may be my age showing but I am a passionate supporter of wires. earbuds? put a leash on those things. wireless keyboard? no, it needs to hold hands with the computer. the ps5 controller I forgot to charge has the staying power of a wealthy nonagenarian with a much younger wife and 14 life insurance policies, but the controller plugged into my pc? that baby will outlive my bloodline. my ethernet cable is like a son to me.
YES THAT. Also, at work, the possibility of someone stealing my wired mouse is below zero, so. Yey for wires!!!! 💪🏼
#she realised there's something fishy going on with him 𓆟
Laufey - Madwoman + Hudson Williams
I mean the song is cool and the video is cool and he is very VERY hot, obviously, but can we please discuss for a second how she SLAPPED HIM WITH A FISH.
hudson getting slapped by a woman with a big fish and falling straight to the pool just for him to whorily get out in the most whoring out way like a certified whore that he is in a music video full of wasian women is just everything i ordered thank you laufey for this one
Crack canon divergent AU where the Montreal Metros become super queer friendly sometime around 2015. I'm picturing one of the players having a brother who gets engaged to a man and only finding out about his sexuality then. When he asks his brother about it, the brother tells him he wasn't sure he'd take it well what with being a hockey player and using slurs and all.
This unnamed player - let's call him Fred, just because - is devastated. He used to be so close to his brother when they were young and now he's finding out this is what's been driving a wedge between them for all these years and he can't even be angry about it because his brother was right to be careful.
Fred brings this up to the other Metros and most of them give a halfhearted "that sucks dude" but he digs his heels in and says no, this needs to change, some of you probably also have gay relatives or friends who do not trust you. "In fact," Fred says, "I looked it up and something like 1 in 10 people are gay so there's probably a gay guy or two on this team and he or they don't feel safe to come out!"
And the others immediately protest, like gay guys don't play hockey don't be stupid!! And if they did, what the fuck, why wouldn't he tell us, he's probably watching us in the showers!! And Fred goes this is why he wouldn't tell us.
(Shane's listening to all of this quietly disassociating, wishing he were anywhere else.)
Anyway there's a lot of arguing and stupid comments, but eventually most of them concede that yeah if there's a gay guy on the team, he's got good reasons not to come out and maybe we should make this a more comfortable space because that kind of stress can't be good for our hypothetically gay teammate's playing.
(Shane's playing is fine, thank you very fucking much.)
It takes a few weeks but with Fred pushing and a few more open-minded and well meaning Metros joining in, the team culture starts to slowly change. One of them tells his majoring-in-gender-studies girlfriend about the effort and she super excitedly puts together a beginner friendly power point presentation to introduce them to some queer history and lingo.
Then someone has the bright idea to do "gay activities" once a month together, like watching Brokeback Mountain and going to drag brunch and of course, eventually, inevitably, a gay bar.
Shane gets himself out of every single event because sitting around with his straight teammates doing gay shit sounds like a fucking nightmare like he just wants to play hockey and suck cock, not have to learn about whatever the hell tucking is.
His teammates notice Shane's reluctance to join and it comes to a head while they're in Boston and want to hit a gay bar after a game for their monthly mandatory gay outing because of fucking course they do. Shane refuses to join and one of the Metros goes "Well maybe our gay teammate hasn't come out yet because he knows his Captain won't support him??" So now Shane has to go or he is officially labeled a homophobe.
He lets Ilya know he can't come over to fuck because he has to go to a gay bar with his team. And Ilya, who has heard about the Metros' gay initiative and thinks it's hilarious how annoyed Shane is with the whole thing, suggests to the Raiders that they join the Metros to show that they're gay friendly too and his teammates are a little weirded out but ultimately surprisingly cool with it.
Of course Shane is pissed once Ilya shows up with his buddies looking so self-satisfied and smug and gorgeous, and this is Shane's one chance to get fucked for the next two months and instead he has to spend the evening watching Drapeau and Olsson do unicorn shots??
He gets up to leave and his teammates start protesting like "come on man, you promised you'd be cool" and "wow you're actually a homophobe, aren't you? smh we thought you were better". And Ilya and the other Raiders are watching the whole thing go down and Shane fucking snaps.
"You all talk a big game but would you actually be okay with a gay guy in the locker room?"
And his teammates are outraged like yes obviously!!
"A guy who gets fucked other guys? Could you look at him and know he's sucked cock and still respect him the same as your straight teammates?"
And maybe this question would have made the Metros uncomfortable earlier in the year but they are enlightened now and offended that Shane would even ask! Honestly, you're looking more and more homophobic dude (Hayden is on the verge of tears).
"Okay, what if he was hooking up with a player on another team? 'Cause that would never be an issue with a straight player."
And the Metros would have to take a moment to think because yeah, that's a possibility they hadn't considered. But! one of them points out, guys play against their brothers and friends all the time, and no one has an issue with that. If a gay player had to play against his lover (Shane's eye twitches dangerously), he wouldn't let that affect his game any more than straight players do playing against their loved ones.
In fact, there's something kinda romantic about it now that they think about it. Like Romeo and Juliet with hockey!
Now Shane glances at Ilya, who no longer looks amused.
"So you guys really are fine with all of that?"
The Metros agree enthusiastically, fired up and proud at what good allies they're being.
"Okay. Well. I'm gay, and I've been hooking up with a player on another team since rookie year."
The group falls silent. Shane stares them down, silently freaking out, because did he just annoyed into coming out??
"Who?" one of the Metros finally asks. Another elbows him.
"Dude, you can't ask that."
"But you don't like any gay stuff!" another Metro protests.
"I like sucking cock," Shane deadpans. "Is that gay enough for you?"
And fair enough, the Metros have to admit, that is pretty gay.
No one stops Shane when he tries to leave this time, though Hayden does chase him outside to tell him how proud he is of him, and Shane just gives a flat okay and jumps into the nearest taxi.
(And if none of the Metros or Raiders notice Ilya disappear pretty quickly after that, well, they're not the smartest.)
