GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

fully convinced that shane's freak out at the very end of the episode was him realizing that scott hunter 1000% absolutely knows him and ilya have been fucking forever

scott hunter in his MVP acceptance speech: and i just want any other homos out there in the league to know that i know. i know. i'm fucking onto you. i heard you at the all star game back in 2011. yeah you were really fucking loud and honestly not trying all that hard to be careful. i was trying to be all angsty and lonely and closeted by myself but your fucking headboard kept banging against the connecting wall. so if you were staying in room 1212 in 2011 just know that i know what you are and you owe me a fucking drink. peace and love y'all

There's this inside joke in the Canadian entertainment industry that everyone at some point in their career has pitched a hockey show

it's like a Canadian screenwriting right of passage, even writers who aren't that into hockey find they have an idea rattling around in their brain and try it

In spite of this it may surprise people to learn Canada went decades without a hockey show. it seems like such an obvious idea right? thats why writers kept pitching it and yet...it just never happened. the possible reasons why belong in another post but the fact is people have spent years and years behind the scenes in Canada trying to get a hockey show off the ground (ice?)

I cant emphasize enough how this is not hyperbole. like if you gathered a bunch of Canadian screenwriters in a room and threw a rock (please don't throw rocks at Canadians or screenwriters) you'd hit someone who pitched a hockey show, and relatedly someone who could never get that greenlight

The show that finally broke the curse? of all shows the Letter Kenny spin off Shorsey which Premiered in 2022

Which is what makes Heated Rivalry so bonkers insane funny to me

It took Canada so long to get a hockey show out of development hell that once we finally figured out how to do it and make it viable we were able to speed run past 100 years of institutional and internalized homophobia in the NHL and just skip straight to hockey yaoi

we sure are a real country, eh? you miss 100% of the shots you never take and sometimes you miss for so long the shots become gay or whatever Wayne Gretsky and Michael Scott said

[tournevis-real]

What OP is saying here is true... in English.

There was never any curse in French, folks. OP is betraying their ignorance of the absolute juggernauts of Québec hockey tv and film of the last 40 years. Hockey has never not been present in fiction and reality tv, decade after decade. For example:

-Lance et compte, nine seasons, from 1986 to 2015 for a total of 99 episodes, including 7 tv movies and one film. So culturally influential its catch phrases are still part of popular speech. There are gay characters in the latter series.

-Les Boys, five movies (1998 to 2013), a tv series (2007-12) and and stage show that is on right now. So popular real hockey players get compared to the characters. And one of the characters is gay, that is known from the first 1998 movie, he stays on the team and is in a happy relationship in most of the instalments. AND he's played by Yvan Ponton who played the Québécois goalie in the classic hockey movie Slap Shot. Iconic.

- Histoires d'hiver (1999) and Les Pee-wee 3D (2012), two lovely teen movies that were moderately popular, the first being absolutely charming.

- Premier trio (2023-...), 3 seasons so far, ongoing, 78 episodes, a series about a female AAA Bantam player in a male team and their teen difficulties and triumphs.

There is more! And that's not even listing the documentary and reality tv series!

Am I glad that Jacob Tierney is giving us gay hockey players? Hell, yes. Is there a story in this series he's giving us? Nope. It's just romance and sexual tension and sex. Whatever stakes are coming are self-evident from episode one and the book told us it'll have a happy enough ending. Heated Rivelry is actually not about hockey. It's important for North American tv and will change things, but I'll be blunt it's pretty boring so far.

But if there was a curse to break, it's only for English Canadians. Québec's been doing fine.

Hey remember VHS where you bought a box to plug into your tv and you could legally record whatever was playing and then own it for free forever

[angelofthemornings-deactivated2]

I cannot emphasize enough that you not only COULD, it was ENCOURAGED. Blank video tapes for recording whatever you wanted were available everywhere and it was hard to miss the record button on the machines. They also deliberately designed stuff like VHS players that you could tell when to start recording things - as a kid I'd tell the player to record the cartoon channel beginning at 6 or 7 and then sleep in and watch the tape later - and then they would tell you how to do it in the owner's manual, this was no secret. You were SUPPOSED TO record shows you wanted to keep or that you wouldn't be home for to watch later.

[dukeofankh]

The essential piece of information missing here is that the people who made the VHS machines and the people who made the TV channels were, and I cannot stress this enough, different people.

Like, of course Disney didn't used to want you to record their stuff for free and watch it forever. When VHS home recording came out, the companies that invented it were...sued! Of course they were!

It's just that the TV companies lost the lawsuit. It was deemed that once the signal got to your house legally you could do whatever the hell you wanted with it as long as it was for personal noncommercial use. It would have probably gone differently if the TV companies had the ability to detect whether you were recording them and then shut the signal off.

Like, I am 100 percent on the side of "you should be able to keep and own stuff permanently, I just also think there's a limit to how much breathless mythmaking about the halcyon days of the early nineties I can handle before it starts drifting into low-key misinformation.

Cast your eyeballs to the outside world. Touch grass. Nuzzle moss. Fondle fungi. Sniff soil. Absorb sunbeams. It's a magical world outside of screens. It's only once you start to look, that you actually see.

One of the reasons i believe TV shows being released today is not working as good as it did in the 2000's, especially when we're talking about remakes/spin-off's/ sequels, is that we are not allowed to have horrible people an part of the main characters group anymore.

Think about the big hits of the 200's-2010's tv show. Gossip Girl: Blair had beef with a 13 years old, cheated on Nate with Chuck, Serena slept with her best friends boyfriend, was part of the reason a teenager die, Dan was Literally a stalker, Chuck ... is Chuck Bass.

The New version kinda of had a shot with season 1, especially with Max, he was involved in 2 cheatings, was sleeping with his tracher and only tried to expose him after he felt personally wronged ( and even than he went to Gossip Girl instead of the cops). Max was the type of messy that tv Shows need.

Pretty Little Liars: The whole show is about the girls being blackmailed by A because of the things they did with Alison.

The O.C: The main character starts the show being arrested.

One Tree Hill: How many cheating storylines can you give your protagonist before people start liking his brother more?

The Vampires diaries: Damon raped Caroline. And pretty much all the main characters kill at least 2 people.

Shows being made in the last couple of years don't allow their main character or their friends to be imperfect people wich makes the series boring. Nathan Scott is one of the most loved character in one tree hill and he starts as a complet jerk.

Part of watching this shows is about seeing the characters become better, but this doesn’t happen if they start perfect.

Just like when people complain that disney doesn’t make villains anymore, how every "villain" ends being some misunderstood person. Every once in a while could make a good story but not movie for the last 4-5 years.

Sotrie need villains, a person for you to hate, for you to love to hate or hate to love.

I think America's obsession with high school is so fascinating. Like, it’s very interesting that high school is way more romanticized and valued than college, for example.

Like, okay, every culture and society has romanticized youth and all the things that come with it. We’ve always romanticized coming of age and adolescence, so that's nothing new. But I think with America, it's explicitly tied to the High School Experience. Part of why people from all over the world know words like sophomore and prom and pep rally. People have this hyper-specific idea of what high school is supposed to be like. And I mean, yeah, obviously, Disney and Nickelodeon played a great part in that.

But it’s also just like… We see the high school obsession persisting so hard that in the big year of 2024, we have a 34-year-old Taylor Swift singing about being “so high school.” High school angst created Olivia Rodrigo’s mainstream career in 2021. Euphoria, an MA-rated show about heroin and tits, is set in fucking high school for absolutely no good reason.

Like, so much of American pop culture revolves around the high school mythology. You know, from Mean Girls to Clueless to... Carrie. To dreaming of marrying your high school sweetheart. But realistically, a college-aged kid who’s 19 and a high schooler who’s 18 are not that different. One is in high school and the other is in college, and that’s really the main difference.

High school (as an Experience) is definitely a massive thing for Americans, and seemingly more so than in other Western countries? Maybe because most Americans can hardly afford college, lol, so there's that.
