A Great And Sudden Change

Urban Fantasy, Sports Fiction with a sprinkling of Queer Romance

Tag: #sapphic hockey ideas

Setting: A fictional town in Montana, circa 2015

Warnings: Discussions of abuse, disordered eating, depression and anxiety

Themes: Healing through mentorship, second chances, learning to feel joy again

Synopsis:

When a new student destroys a desk during back-to-school-night, high school teacher and avid avoidant Renee Dupont finds out that several players on the local Junior hockey team are afflicted with lycanthropy. (Not werewolves, because werewolves don't exist. Renee has the scars to prove it.) It's okay, though, because Renee is happy to stay out of it. She hasn't gotten on the ice in a decade, and she knows better than to get involved.

Except the new student has some issues of her own, and Renee has never turned away a student in need. Especially ones with some hauntingly familiar mannerisms. Ones who eats like a gym rat during bulking season but flinches at any offer of candy. One who pulls moves on the ice that are risky and borderline illegal in a way that Renee has had nightmares about. Coach Wakefield is in over her head, and they both know it.

Renee swore she would never get on the ice again, but she also swore that she would protect her students. She can give up on this one student and keep her own nose clean, keep living her uneventful life, just one more thing to haunt her. Or she can face her past and all of its perils, but do for someone else what she could never do for herself.

Something will have to give eventually. And no matter which way she falls, nothing will ever be the same again.

Characters (left to right):

Renee Dupont: Third year high school English teacher. 23. Has a psychiatrict service dog named Muenster who is trained to respond to commands in French and sign language. Renee once said Muenster is smarter than half of the parents she has to deal with, and she might be right.

Maggie Wakefield: Coach of the Frankport Jackalopes, a Tier I junior hockey team that has been struggling to overcome a string of lost championships. 26. Lost her leg in an "accident" during a exhibition match in college, ending what was shaping up to be a very promising hockey career before it could begin. Has unknowing connections to Renee's past.

Tatyana Borislavova: Newest player for the Jackalopes with more issues than you could shake a stick at. 17. Is uncomfortably deferential to Maggie, but quickly grows more comfortable with Renee.

Isaac Yates: The only official underage member of Maggie's pack. 17. Was in Renee's class last year, and is the only one who is immediately onboard with getting her involved.

Tess: The adopted daughter of Maggie's hermit-like neighbor. 16 Is a reserve on the team, although Maggie won't play her without her adopted father's permission, so she acts as more of a equipment manager's assistant. Maggie has her participate in practices, though, and Tatyana has taken something of an interest in her.

imo the pov character should be lying to themselves and concealing shit from themselves constantly

[rowanisawriter]

interrupting others who might say something revealing or important, thinking around things, using words like “didn’t” or “doesn’t” or “imagines” to describe actions not taken or half taken, dreaming things and never talking about them or thinking about them during waking hours, lying to people, hiding true feelings, sitting in shadow or low light to keep any accidental flicker of emotion hidden, writing in obtuse ways that doesn’t let the reader know what they’re thinking or planning, avoiding adverbs in tense moments, describing actions in straightforward and almost clinical ways sometimes, hiding the truth from the character and the reader even though you both know or suspect but there is just enough space there to fill with doubt

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.

I want you to imagine that you have a button. That button is at the bottom of a pot of boiling water that also has piranhas and radium in it. If you press the button you will recieve the best orgasm of your life, but in order to press it, you have to first put your hand into radioactive boiling piranha water for at least 6 hours. This is what it's like to write.

[vibrantstarfire]

more women whump. more women pushing themselves and passing out from sleep deprivation and exhaustion. more women training until their knuckles bleed and their legs give out from under them. more women being held prisoner and remaining stoic until the very end or perhaps when they’re rescued. more women under truth serum and terrifying hallucinogens. more women waking up in a pool of blood, their own and others’ and not knowing what happened but that something is terribly wrong with them. more women falling apart o ly when rescued. more women pushed to their breaking point. more women whump.

"despite everything, it's still you" -> "after everything, it's finally you". is that anything

They should make Carrie White a fat trans girl in the new show

[naidje]

She asks to play volleyball with the girls team. They start a harassment campaign against her. Her mom's a rabid gender critical radfem mumsnetter terf. At the prom she sets a gymnasium full of transmisogynists on fire with her mind. You get it.

[snowkissedmonsters]

I actually think all fairies are fat, in their natural habitat. The Irish used iron horseshoes to protect their milk and butter stashes from fairies bc they love cream so much. Cream and berries and honey and ale, all day every day. If you see a skinny fairy she is underfed, give her some sugar water like you would a tired bumblebee 🍰

[artbyeloquent]

Amen 👏 I feel obligated to repost one of my fat fairy designs here bc that other post you rb'ed that prompted this pissed me off SO MUCH

[keen2meecha]

someone ban me from thinking immediately

[draconym]

Getting dumped really puts children's cartoon villains into perspective. Like dude you're SO right, love and caring ARE disgusting and we SHOULD cast a spell to drain all human emotion into your amulet.

[draconym]

Friend breakups are how you get lines like "Your friends? You think your friends are coming to save you? Don't make me laugh."

[yellow-cat]

abandon shame. theres more interesting emotions to be felt

[yellow-cat]

I understand the urge to comment on recent trends in which people seem to want increasingly sanitized media compared to the recent past, but when you say things like "people used to just shrug and move on when there were books and movies that made them uncomfortable" it's like...well. actually people used to convict artists of obscenity in a court of law.

polycule where one guy has an “i can fix him” mindset and another guy has an “i can make him worse” mindset about the same third guy. net zero moral change
