Better Clench Up Legolas @elibad - Tumblr Blog

Y'all for real please do these. Even if you're certain your posture doesn't suck. One day you will wake up with impinged shoulder pain like I did and let me tell you it fucking HURTS. Do these exercises even just once a week and it will make such a difference. Especially my fellow creatives out there, stop shrimping over your work and go do these right now. RIGHT NOW.

someone with hockey knowledge, at which points in their lives/tracks to a professional hockey career would shane and ilya become aware of each other as two most talked about prospects? like around what time/age would that come up?

#I think this would depend on their coaches and stuff #in Canada #and I think Shane mentions this with Rose #the press starts young #Sidney Crosby was in the news at 7 #on and off till he was 12 and then just constant #so if the Russian coaches wanted Ilya to know about Shane then he probably knew pretty young because the Russian coaches knew about him #(and straight up the race thing could definitely have played a part in that it would have in the 'real' world #and even EvilDad states something like 'I can't believe you lost to HIM')#and I am not sure how the phenom thing works in Russia #but again if his coaches and whatever wanted the Canadians/Shane to know about him they could have started pushing a narrative on him #and that would have driven Shane knowing about him #otherwise he probably would have moved to Canada at about 16 in order to play in the CHL to best increase his chances of getting noticed #and drafted #or he could have joined the RSL at 16 and that would have gotten him attention as well #(which is what Ovechkin did who is apparently Ilya's inspiration)

*clutches bear and whispers* i am a *shane does not use pet names on ilya, especially not baby. his collection of pet names consists of asshole, dick and, if he wants to be mean, buddy/dude* truther

#I jus read a fic where its all he calls Ilya #and it was weird AF #because Ilya calls him that and so does Yuna and I was struggling to figure out who was who #and yeah #not really seeing Shae use pet names

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I guess only Americans are allowed to have national pride.

Why are Americans so weird about a Canadian show wanting to stay Canadian and being proud of it? Why are publications like Variety going around basically begging Heated Rivalry to change the production so it can be eligible for Emmys?

#I feel like I keep saying Canadians like when others like our stuff (weird shit)#but this show has shown me how many people who have never been here are 'experts' on all things Canada #like our culture and how we act and why the fact that we are some sort of monolith #its been really eye opening #and by that I mean annoying AF

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
