in more pleasant news: this year is seeing the biggest humpback migration in Australian history, bigger than it was PRE whaling. That's right, there are more humpbacks migrating off the coast of Australia than there were BEFORE industrial whaling started.

A huge, fat W for environmentalists and Greenies. what an achievement

[lumsel]

we did it! we saved the fucking whales!!!!

[the-tao-of-fandom]

These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them

Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is

SERVICE DOG PSA

So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)

I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up

If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help

Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, follow the dog! If it had been an emergency situation, I could have vomited and choked, I could have hit my head, I could have had so many things happen to me. We’re going to update his training so if the first person doesn’t cooperate, he moves on, but seriously guys. If what’s-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him

I honestly didn’t know that I was supposed to follow a service dog in a vest if it approached me by itself.

I do now.

So do you.

The world is a slightly better place. Well done us.

I just had the most vivid vision come to me like the oracle of Delphi and it’s Shane and Hayden going to do that little head bonk except they’re saying goodbye after a dinner and they’re decidedly not at the rink or wearing helmets and both of them are a second too late curbing their natural reflexes and just straight up bonk each other really hard on the noggin and both go ‘ow fuck ow’. Ilya is watching from the car lovingly wondering if Hayden’s idiocy is infectious.

[honuofhawaii]

Ilya and Marley have done this. He’s still laughing his ass off at Shane and Hayden, and he’ll never bring up the fact that he’s done the same thing, but he absolutely has.

[capybaralovers]

[worldwright]

the Hail Mary is the opposite of idiot-proof. she's built for very smart people to be able to do Whatever They Need with every tool they have in order to achieve their goals. fucking with the centrifuge settings? i'll warn you that you're messing with important stuff but go right ahead man. ripping up the floor panels and pulling out the electricals to make a really unsafe extension cord? sure why not. pop off the fucking fuel tanks? yeah ok you're the most qualified person here and if you say you need to do that who am i to argue. i love the utter lack of guardrails on everything

[worldwright]

you KNOW that vodka was the good shit too

[honuofhawaii]

In the book it’s rough shit🤣

[worldwright]

what if. ough. what if the "induced coma early to ensure safety" WAS what let grace survive

[honuofhawaii]

Oh that is exactly what I think happened

[drabbles-and-rambles]

I fully believe that Shane and Ilya cannot agree on an anniversary. Shane says it was the All Stars weekend because that's when he thought they were both 100% serious about the relationship because that's when he was, Ilya says it was the cottage when they said "I love you'' because he didn't believe in it until that moment. They find this out the first year with Shane's anniversary date when Shane plans an elaborate secret date the last night of All Stars and gets Ilya gifts, and Ilya has no idea what its for. They agree to disagree on the date, "We will just celebrate twice a year, I guess." It happens again with their wedding anniversary, Shane says its when they legally got married, Ilya says it was when the twins married them because he doesnt care about about being officially married in the eyes of Canadian law he cares about the first time they said "I do". They find this out when a reporter asks them about their wedding and when they had it and they both gave different answers. Once again they agree to just celebrate twice a year. They say it is because the date doesn't really matter and both of them are right in some way, but in reality it is so they can compete on who plans the more romantic, thoughtful, and elaborate anniversary date. And so that they don't fight about who's planning the date this year or making conflicting plans by accident.

[honuofhawaii]

So they celebrate all four I take it?

what shane says: im gay

what shane means: i can never love a woman in any way resembling the way i love you and when i tried she called my shit IMMEDIATELY so what im trying to say is i can't sidestep whatever we are the way you can, i will never ever love anyone but u

what ilya hears: somewhere along the line of our multi-year situationship that began with me immediately sucking ur dick, i have determined that i like men.

what ilya says: ya no fucking shit bro what

[honuofhawaii]

It is kind of sad that the only time Shane was able to come out on his own terms he got laughed at for it. Like I get where Ilya is coming from but it kind of sucks. The only other time we know he comes out on his own terms, or at least implied to have been on his own terms, was to his team and we know that cant have been great.

voyager 1 probe almost a full light day away from earth. unfortunately ryland grace has it beat by some eleven years and some change…

[honuofhawaii]

Seeing the gold panels in the Hail Mary made me cry in the theater.

[themoonandmyman]

whatever you do don’t think about Ilya getting so drunk after a win that Shane has to princess carry him out of the car and ilya is just slurring ‘you are my hero shane’ ‘no I mean it you are so strong and pretty and good at hockey’ and then he starts tearing up and Shane is like ‘ok no more tequila shots for you Mr Russian Constitution’

[honuofhawaii]

Yes I need Shane carrying Ilya at some point!!!

[scunthotter]

I do like to imagine Shane going 'I can do casual sex, ive been having casual sex for a long time.' Then getting some hook up, having casual sex and going 'what the fuck was that????' Because its not intensely romantic undernegotiated kink sex with his partner of nearly a decade. He like hooks up with a handful of guys that he just thinks are bad at sex and comes to the conclusion that Ilya must just be a god at sex, when really the other people ilya is hooking up with are not getting the Shane treatment, its just the two of them being freaks for each other.

[honuofhawaii]

I just feel it needs to be said that no Ilya’s hookups aren’t getting the “Shane special”, but they’re still getting a damn good experience. It is blatantly obvious that enthusiasts consent is hot as hell to Ilya, he’s going to make sure anyone he’s with is having a great time and he’s going have a great time, it’s just not going to be more than a good fun time.

[gasolinewillmakeitgofaster]

I cannot stress this enough, but Shane Hollander has a perfect backhand shot and Ilya was teasing him. Shane Hollander is fast and has an incredible backhand. Please stop writing fics where Ilya thinks his backhand sucks. He is in awe of Shane’s skill and Shane knows that. Please. I beg.

[honuofhawaii]

Honestly it seems that this fandom is full of willful ignorance!!!

OMG THE RIVALRY IS REAL!

something I’ve noticed about the Heated Rivalry fandom is that a lot of you don’t seem to know what “rival” means? Like Ilya and Shane ARE rivals.

Rival:

1: one of two or more striving to reach or obtain something that only one can possess.

(Various trophies, title as best player)

2: one striving for competitive advantage

(I think that one needs no further explanation)

3: equal/ peer

The rivalry is not fake. It’s not made up by the media, and it only (maybe) ends up when they’re on the same team.

What is overemphasized and at least mostly made up by the media storm is the bitterness of the rivalry. They never actually hate each other (though sometimes they feel like they need to play that up). The media presents them as bitter rivals that hate everything about the other. The bitter part is the lie not the rival!

They are not really rivals to lovers, they are rivals and lovers (sorry Shane but I’m using lovers and you can’t stop me)

When they play they both want to win! They both are going to do whatever they have to to win. They both love that about the other bc they push eachother to be better.

[eugeniedanglars]

shane and ilya aren’t allowed to give dating advice anymore ever since the cens found out they were in a situationship for seven years before making it official. one of the rookies asked what he should do to turn his hookup into a relationship and ilya was like “well in my experience if you just keep hooking up with that person who won’t commit to you and never communicate your needs or desires it’ll all work out perfectly and you’ll fall in love and get married. so keep doing what you’re doing” and shane was like “have you tried getting a head injury in front of them”

[honuofhawaii]

Hilarious, I know this post is for humor but I do want to talk about something.

It took them almost 7 years to get it right but they did talk. They weren’t forced together or forced to confront their true feelings after Shane was injured. The tunameltdown was Ilya’s attempt at broaching the feelings (tm). It goes poorly due to a combination of Ilya flipping the script too quickly for Shane’s autistic ass while at the same time still holding back his own feelings in an attempt to protect himself ie “I like your mouth”

And then Shane goes to Ilya in Tampa, first to kinda clear the air, and then to really talk. That took guts and it took deliberate effort. They didn’t just fall together and it happened to work out. They both tried and kept trying until they got it right. I think that’s what makes them so compelling as a couple. It took serious effort and guts to find their way to each other for real. Their relationship advice would probably be fantastic bc they understand the pitfalls having fallen into many of them. However I could see the team being like “yeah I’m not taking your advice, you spent 7 years in a situationship,” and the two of them going “okay only joking advice from here on out”
