I saw a post about Shane and Ilya being sad that they can't thank each other in their acceptance speeches like other can with their spouses and it got me thinking:
Ilya wins his first awards and hes got nobody he really wants to thank after his team and coach cause he he hates his family but he knows his speech is too short so on impulse he goes "And I want to thank Shane Hollander for being slightly worse than me this season". Everyone knows it was going to one of those two, so everyone thinks hes an asshole to say that but whats new so it works for him. But from then on it then becomes a bit for both of them to thank each other in their speeches in a snide way as a reason they won.
Shane winning the Art Ross Trophy (Awarded to the player who leads the league in total points at the end of the regular season). and going "special thanks to Rozanov for missing at least 5 shots this season, he was a huge help"
Ilya winning the Conn Smythe Trophy (Awarded to the most valuable player for his team in the playoffs.) "Just want to give a quick shout out to Hollander for getting knocked out in the second round this season. Must hate to see me up here."
They find a way to mention the other in their speeches every time all the time.
and every time, they sit in their seats like
I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.
There is nothing quite like the freedom of having gone through all of the Discourse and come out the other side into the promised land of Not Giving A Fuck.
The three keys to the promised land are âBlock, Unfollow, and Do Not EngageâÂ
I have been in Fandom spaces for 20 years. It is LOVELY once you become the bog witch that no longer gives a fuck.
Proud fandom bog witch who's fucks have runneth dry, proudly maneuvering round meaningless discourse like...

Fun fact- when I was a baby, my parents pretty quickly started suspecting I had autism. Like, before I even hit the year mark. They got me assessed four different times. the first one was when I was a baby, and they're pretty sure the only reason their concerns were brushed off is because I was a girl, and most people thought girls couldn't be autistic. Two times were when I was a toddler, after I was talking and walking, because they noticed I was happier to sort my toys than actually play with them. Both times, that doctor (different doctor from the first) firmly decided I couldn't possibly be autistic because- get this- I started talking early. And the fourth one was when I was getting ready to start preschool, because they were really like "Okay, there's no way she isn't, the doctors must have been wrong." And again, they were told I wasn't autistic because if I was, they would know already. Since I wasn't already diagnosed, I clearly wasn't autistic. It must just be from my brain injury
I am level two autistic. I am visibly autistic and always have been. And I still got misdiagnosed as not autistic four times for complete nonsense reasons.
So no, I don't think not being professionally diagnosed means one isn't autistic.
Daniel Sloss SAID IT THANK YOU DANIEL SLOSS
Reblogging again now that Russell Brand's ugly mug is back in the news to remind everyone that in the 2023 Times expose on his abusive behaviour, Daniel Sloss was the only male comedian willing to be named and quoted like "yeah that dude's a scumbag and women have been warning each other about him for years."
Also after the recent story that "two teenage boys were spared jailed" because the judge wanted to avoid criminalising them despite them assaulting two teenage girls, filming it and sharing it online.
Things will only change if those at the very top take their responsibilities seriously.
I keep seeing men dismissing it, but if your male friendsâ idea of humour is jokes about SA (or racism/sexism/homophobia), you not calling them out on it creates a safe space for those ideas and behaviours. And I keep encountering situations where someone in a guysâ friend group turned out to be an actual bigot or abuser, and their reaction is âsure he was a bit edgyâ or âI didnât know he meant itâ, but the bottom line is that he said that shit, and they laughed and nodded along, while the people who got hurt were further isolated by the enabling of their abuserâs behaviour.
Change starts with not making room for a Schrödingerâs douchebag in your circle.

princeton university press is having a 50% off sale and i limited myself to just three books but the temptation to go back and browse for more is extremely strong
so i'm telling you all about it instead. it goes until june 9!
If you have any interest in expanding your Celtic library, I HIGHLY recommend you consider purchasing either Mark Williams' Ireland's Immortals ($15 USD while the sale is going on, $29.95 USD normally) or Natasha Sumner's Heroes of the Gael (not on sale, but $40 USD, released this year). If you're looking to understand how modern Celtic Studies functions, or you want to see up to date research on the Mythological Cycle/Fenian Cycle, this is the perfect time to add them to your collection.
it really is fucking pathetic that a country with more guns than people can't hit one guy
if this is how you found out there was an active shooter at the White House yesterday I'm sorry
Me: oh it's this post again. Wait. Why does it say "posted 37 minutes ago"
today is the last saturday of 2012. reblog now or go @#!*% yourself because you won't get this chance ever again.
all yall make jokes about couples and their nonromantic third wheel having fun together, but im the one getting treated to food tonight by the couple im nonromantically third wheeling. you wish you were me
I'm sorry I read this as "necromantic third wheel" and went on a very rapid powerful imagination adventure. hello lovebirds I'm the skeleton here for breadsticks
sometimes emotions are houseguests.
some people are adept at entertaining not just one but multiple emotions at once to varying degrees.
sometimes you never learned how to host so your approach is just âstay the fuck out of my houseâ to all emotions.
this approach is apparently wrong bc you keep good emotions out too. but also if you keep the bad emotions out too long, they break into your house at 3am screaming and setting things on fire until you acknowledge them.
apparently what youâre supposed to do is let them come over every so often, even if cleaning up sucks and itâs awkward. apparently thatâs good practice and the more you do it, the easier it is to have them over.
sometimes you resist having them over bc you donât want to entertain them and youâve got other shit to do. but apparently itâs an option to tell them âIâm gonna do some chores but you can hang out here for a bit.â and if theyâre chill and youâre chill, itâs a start.
maybe begin with one at a time. no sleepovers. work your way up to a small group dinner.
but you gotta let them in first.
Me: Itâs interesting how we have so much in common.
Long pause.
Them: We did say no romance.
Me: What? Iâm sorry. I didnât realize there was romantic tension.
Them: Yeah, well. You do get how that sounds like a line from a rom-com?
