I'm just going to say two things about the avs-knights series:
1) Colorado what the actual FUCK
2) If I'm Pavel Dorofeyev and I've been the slayer of dragons and nhleurope decided to leave me out of their poster, I'd be sending a very strongly worded letter
I'm so sorry if anyone's missed me lately, I'm exhausted and will continue to be missing for a little while still 😭

here's my multiple things can be true opinion
holding celebrities to your own personal moral bar and feeling personally betrayed by them not living up to those expectations, is parasocial and not a healthy way to ingest media of any kind. You should maybe take a break from following celebrity culture altogether. you will not find an "unproblematic fave" in a hockey player. they don't exist in your real life either. you are also not 100% unproblematic, and i can say that generally without having any idea who you are.
we all have our lines for what we will and will not accept from a celebrity before we become unable to support them, and there's nothing wrong with saying "my line has been crossed. i'm done with this person." taking care of yourself should always be your first priority. you can drop teams, players, mutuals, whatever you need to do to feel comfortable, and no one can or should make you feel bad about that.
and here's the one the people from the first point aren't going to like. it's also fully acceptable to say "my life experiences have set my line way further down the road, so nothing that has happened is a deal-breaker for me." and carry on with your fandom identity relatively unchanged.
no one but you gets to tell you how to feel, and anyone trying is just trying to make themselves feel better. so just do what you have to do, and remove yourself from situations you don't feel comfortable in.
notice that i did not say surround yourself with people who share your exact morals and opinions at all times, because 1. they don't exist and 2. building a new echo chamber with sturdier walls is not going to help you deal the next time one of the complete strangers you project onto does something that doesn't fit the script you've assigned to them
Welcome to Not a Cow 2026 — the fourth year of this Dallas Stars fic fest!
A lot has changed since last season, but the sheer amount of love the boys have for each other has not! If at any point you have been moved to inspiration by that love, now is your time to shine. Has something from the Olympics or Olympic break break left you picturing the fic of your dreams? Did a plot pop into your head after seeing some of the fun socials content we've gotten this season? Are you simply always compelled by Victory Green? This is the space to share that with the rest of us!
We'd absolutely love to see love for everything from the team's biggest ships to the ones you'll have to originate the tags for. Let's have some fun with it! Go wild!

i do think the trick to enjoying olympic hockey when your country has never been in it is to pick one of the guys neither the broadcast team nor the photographers particularly care about and just make up your own little stories
this is brock
he is a star
he loves Hugs and Jumping
this is how he sees the world
this is him realising he forgot his glasses
here he is doing what he does best (defense)
here he discovers (perhaps for the first time) who has been in net for his team these past 3x20 minutes
here he’s trying to eat him
friendly reminder that misha's planned program content for the free skate didn't have a 4F. friendly reminder that misha had never successfully landed a 5-quad program despite trying multiple times this season. friendly reminder that only he and petr gumennik managed 5 quads. friendly reminder that misha still remains the only person ever to do a 3A+1Eu+4S in competition. friendly reminder that misha can (though doesn't often) also do a 3A+4T, which only one other skater has ever attempted (shoma uno, 2019 world team trophy, where he fell on the 4T). friendly reminder that misha always had the skillset to win.
We're back in: 4 weeks 👀
In my attempt not to spring this on y'all...also with the Winter Olympics this year, I felt we may need to have the prompt meme in the back of our minds 🤔

Canadian figure skater Maddie Schizas had to ask her college professor for an extension on an assignment due to getting the dates mixed up as well as being in they Olympics
And he responded! He said absolutely and told her to just focus on the competition and that they’re all rooting for her 🥹
He also posted his first and only photo on Instagram of him watching her in the Olympics with the caption “I’m so proud of you Maddie!”
hi roope!!!!!
Olympic Figure Skating Primer Pt. 5: Ice Dance
Here is the fifth and final part of my series on getting you ready to watch Olympic figure skating! Which by the way starts Friday, Feb 6!!!
Part 1 (the basics)
Part 2 (men's skating)
Part 3 (women's skating)
Part 4 (pair skating)
And this part is about ice dance!
ICE DANCE OVERVIEW
Ice dance is the most difficult discipline to understand for the casual viewer. Pair skating is essentially singles skating with two people, but while ice dance also consists of two-person teams, it has a completely different origin. It is derived from ballroom dance, and has only been an Olympic sport since the 1970s. (Figure skating has been in the Olympics since 1908.) Elements include things like step sequences, choreographic sequences, dance lifts (which are more creative than pairs lifts and don't go fully over the head), and twizzles, which are these synchronized turn things:
The two segments for ice dance are called the rhythm dance and the free dance. The rhythm dance has an annual theme that all teams must follow, and this year's is 90's music. It's also supposed to be "upbeat" and "engage the audience." (I'm restraining myself really hard from giving my opinion on the current state of the rhythm dance. It's fine.) Dance teams can choose any music they want for the free dance.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand how it’s scored. No one does. Not even the athletes. You might think I’m joking but there have been like four scoring controversies already this year because no one fucking understands what’s happening in ice dance right now. Best thing to do is turn your brain off and have a great time. Ice dance is REALLY fun to watch and I highly recommend giving it a try! Just try not to care too much about who wins. It’s a trap! she said immediately before giving you information that will make you care who wins
my beloved amber making me fall even harder for her.
(i have heard she’s getting death threats because of this. i hope that’s not why she wasn’t with team usa in the kiss & cry today. ❤️🩹)
