“Shane Hollander deserves to crash out at Troy Barrett-“ NO HE FUCKING DOESN’T-!? Guys are we serious? Are we being fucking fr!? Okay, first of all, they barely know each other, they only know each other because Troy Barrett is Ilya Rozanov’s best friend eventually and he was invited to their wedding. Second of all, Shane Hollander does not GAF!! He literally does not care about this man, beyond the support he gives his husband, and a little jealousy he gets to play on the same team with him and stuff. Third, Troy Barrett was not “allowed to be angry and then got a cute little redemption arc like that fixed everything-“ he was FORCED to be homophobic and that made him angry, but he wasn’t ALLOWED to be angry at his teammates or his dad or whoever else, so instead he channeled it into something his teammates would respect and leave him alone about; so he wouldn’t GET DISCOVERED AS GAY!! Aka, being a rude asshole, chirping and the occasional casual (he pretends, it is SO not casual) homophobia. Because what I think a lot of people forget, is that Troy Barrett, contrary to every other eventually out queer player, not only does not initially have a support system (barring his mom, who’s literally on a vacation around the world with Troy’s money, which, good for fucking her, but she’s not actually THERE), but is in an environment that is possibly the most actively homophobic team, with possibly the most homophobic asshole EVER, his best friend. Dallas Kent. WHO HE GENUINELY CARES ABOUT PEOPLE!! And let’s not forgot the dad who, oh yeah, what was that, loves Dallas Kent more than his own son and is ALSO clearly homophobic and looking down on him even without that. And wow!! Look, it’s a cheating boyfriend!! :D!!

Look, I love Shane Hollander, and I’m not saying his life wasn’t hard, but Troy Barrett gets out of his toxic environment, with his toxic team, toxic bestfriend, toxic bf to be constantly reminded of and eventually his toxic dad and into a supportive environment, with good energy and a nice crush, eventually boyfriend. And look at that!! He stops being homophobic (let’s be real, he never actually was, but he stops being it at other players without constant pressure to BE IT/DO IT!!) and try’s to unlearn being an asshole, and is an incredibly nice, supportive boyfriend and a good teammate and people really like him, and he apologises to the guy he especially messed up with (Ryan Price, sweet guy) and takes accountability and doesn’t expect to be forgiven??

And even beforehand, it was picked up by people (everyone say thank you Eric Bennett) that he was (at least mildly) uncomfortable with Dallas Kent and trying his best to be nice and supportive to the only active gay player in the league out yet, Scott Hunter.

Guys. Pack it up. It’s not a competition. But if it was? Between Troy Barrett and Shane Hollander? I’m pretty sure Troy Barrett wins. Considering one’s team, parents, best friend, and boyfriend were all initially supportive of him. Okay, scratch that, his team wasn’t, but they were willing to TOLERATE (ffs Montreal Metros, sybau, okay? Fucking casually homophobic LOSERS) him, which is much, MUCH more than Troy’s team would ever do for him, and well. Yeahhh-…let’s not talk about the rest of that-though at least he has his mom, yay!!

Ahem, anyways: thanks for coming to my TED talk, please stop acting like Shane Hollander is some kind of moral superiority or smth, it’s icky. Love him, but disgusting to see the fans who act like that, bsffr.

:)!! 👋🏻

I love how transandrophobes will hop online to say both; "Trans mascs have no culture" and "Trans mascs culture/art is shit because I don't like the music of this one guy or the general genre" and think that it doesn't count as targeting a minority and isn't just like really wrong and weird

Is adding donation links in fics okay? Like fic ends, writer says that if readers want to they can donate money, and then they donate if they wish?

no. that is against ao3’s terms of service.

anything that involves money is against their site’s terms of service. doesn’t matter if it’s commission or donation or anything. on ao3, you cannot mention or link anything that involves money.

ao3 is a nonprofit site known for hosting millions of works of others’ copyrighted characters. it has to stay nonprofit and forbid any mention of money on its platform to avoid getting sued left and right. I’ve said this before, but the only reason ao3 can exist as it is today is because its main rule is “nobody can use their site to ask people for money in any way, shape or form”.

I’ve explained more here.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

I think ao3 is literally the only site where no censorship means no censorship. you can post the most vile things on there — things that will get taken down on any other platforms — and ao3 will protect you, your works, and your rights to create whatever you want, however you want.

and no, this isn’t me saying “write that messed up, disgusting thing” because while, yes, write it if it’s what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered “vile” to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.

everybody say thank you ao3

Can't Find Troy Barrett?

Check the ice, He's probably Practising

Not on the ice?

Check the Gym, He's probably Training

Not in the gym?

Check the Locker room, He's probably getting changed

Not in the Locker Room?

Check Harris's office, He's probably cuddling a puppy and listening to his Boyfriend

Harris not at work today?

Check a random dark corner somewhere, He's probably sulking cause there's no Harris.

And what if I said Role Model was the best book in Game Changers

[troy-barrett-love]

I'm inclined to agree. But the best experience is reading Role Model and The Long Game together. Because seeing how differently Troy and Ilya see the same events is just amazing.

Especially since they believe themselves to be so much worse than they actually are.

Troy spends like half of his book convinced everyone hates him (and from Harris POV we already know it isn't true), but then in The Long Game Ilya takes a liking to him so fast?

It also goes the other way round. Ilya thinks he's doing a horrible job at being the captain, but from what Troy sees he's doing awesome.

(Sorry for hijacking the post with my ramblings.)

[hypocriticalmartyr]

The Harris Drover of my mind is Haley Joel Osment in Happy Gilmore 2 and that is my truth.

Like… you see it, right?

[liamismylight]

YES!! I was trying to figure out who I was picturing. It was him!!

[atolrac]

I just wanted to add something about the Troy discourse that I think is VERY important.

Troy's "redemption arc" was not caused by an external event, he was not outed, Kent did not stop talking to him... He was not "forced" to be better. He CHOSE to call his best friend out even though literally everyone else ignored Kent's behavior.

I think it takes so much courage to just one day decide to be better when you could have kept living your life... Just fine. And even more so when Troy lost so much in the process. Obviously the accusation against Troy are a kind of external event, a wake up call, but it is not directly pushing Troy to be better (and also in Eric's book I believe there is a mention of him already reconsidering his friendship with Kent before the accusations). He could have ignored it. Just like everyone else did.

Also, I do think it is relevant that Troy did not snap because Kent said something too homophobic for example. Troy snapped because Kent was a rapist, someone who hurt women. And canonically, Troy does not have many women in his life except his mother. He did not know the women making the accusations. He simply started fighting Kent because it was the morally good thing to do. Again: no exterior motive forced him to take a stance. He didn't do it for him. He did it for women, who have nothing to do with him or hockey.

And he did not stop there. He actively tried to do better for women. When his mother says he should try to interact with them more, he acknowledges that it is true (and I really wished we would have seen that happen in role model - maybe for unrivaled?)

Anyway, I don't know if I was clear but I just think it is worth mentioning that Troy was never forced to be better. It was a personal choice to change and that is extremely brave.

Additionally! When he is traded to the Centaurs, and starts making posts with resources for sexual assault survivors, he turns to Caitlyn Dykstra, one of the WAGs, who works in this field for advice on what organizations to support and how to post with sensitivity. It’s not gotten into with a lot of detail because that’s not really the genre of the book, but Troy treats Caitlyn with respect as an expert and turns to her as a mentor!
