The miscommunication in Heated Rivalry is because they're living in different romance types to begin with:

Shane: In some sort of Austen-esque existence where hjs ill-advised flirtation with a notorious rake goes too far. Scandalised by the intimate use of first names he flees, concerned what society and his goodly parents will think, his reputation at stake. He tries to find a proper marriage prospect but alas his heart is lost to the rake! But he finally follows his heart and invites Ilya into his home too (and accepts first name usage!)

Ilya: Smoldering in mirrors and out of windows and getting emotionally wuthered screaming Shane's name on a moor. My man is byronically going through it gothic style

A Newbie's Guide to Ice Hockey at the 2026 Olympics

As someone who follows NHL hockey pretty closely, I decided to exorcise some of my many, many thoughts on the Winter Olympics by publishing a newbie's guide over at Overinvested.

I explain some basic background stuff like the tournament structure etc, but for the most part it's an intro to the most interesting storylines, star players and controversies leading into the games, including:

Why Team Canada left the Olympic village after one day and moved into a hotel.

The backstory for Milan's disastrously mismanaged new hockey arena. (The ice wasn't solid until last month!!!)

The politics and personalities behind the US/Canada rivalry.

What's up with two superstar forwards being snubbed from Team USA.

Ilya was a fucking god. After a good game, Ilya wants to celebrate with Shane. (on AO3)

when Carly Rae Jepsen said “before you came into my life, I missed you so bad” and when Bjork said “I miss you but I haven't met you yet” and when Florence Welch said “I want you so badly, but you could be anyone”

Brain farts, a thread

Reblogging this once again because, once again, it made me laugh.

[solitarelee]

Every time this makes me laugh so hard I almost barf idk why I'm so weak to this

[nightshadeis]

One time, while working in the drive-thru, I accidentally mixed up "I'll see you at the window" and "I'll have it for you at the window" and said "I'll have you at the window."

i’m just saying aragorn son of arathorn oh im sorry STRIDER (one of them rangers what his right name is i never heard etc etc) didn’t need to be that sexy at the prancing pony. like ostensibly he’s trying to lay low but even dipshit little [relatively] eighteen y/o frodo is like hey what’s the deal with that extremely ostentatiously sexy man in the corner

[macklesufficient]

“you draw far too much attention to yourself ‘mister underhill’” if i were frodo i wouldve snapped. jesus christ. i can’t help that i’m two feet shorter than everyone else in this definitely definitely 100% a gay bar but at least i didn’t lurk in a sexy corner making eyes at everybody from under my cloak at least im TRYING to pretend i’m not a protagonist you fine ass idiot. i KNOW i’m being pursued by the black riders which is why i didn’t SERVE CUNT from the SHADOWS. the fellowship of the nerve of this bitch

[secifosseluce]

as much as the concept of Jesus being a fairly normal lad has its charms, im personally very intrigued by the idea of him being just… extremely weird. not even in a mystical sense, just…….staggeringly BIZZARRE. 

you go to the well to get some water, and here’s Miriam’s boy, staring at the sky, completely still. his expression is unreadable. you hazard a hello and ask how he’s doing, and he slowly, unblinkingly, lowers his gaze on you (he’s 8 and is missing his frontal teeth, not that this is making you any less uncomfortable) and says “I cannot speak of the state of my being, Nathan son of Saul, my brother, but rejoice for the water you shall take today will be as pure as the soul of the children of Heaven”

…you start sweating

[secifosseluce]

normal person in 1st century Nazareth: making my way downtown, walking fast

*sees J boy, 8 yo, staring at you from across the street*

normal person: walking faster 

[secifosseluce]

even funnier, the only person 100% on board with his Prophetic Kid Talk is his mother Miriam, an otherwise placid, absolutely normal woman around 25 or so

kid JC, coming home at twilight, a single white dove following him and chirping with weirdly human-like precision:

This post is so Christian, but it’s the spicy kind of Christian that gets you murdered by other Christians for heresy, so I’m torn.

So, every vote is really going to count. And according to the Director of Elections in Mesa County there are 800 cast ballots currently in need of signature verification:
