I know there’s a room where I’m happy, but I can’t find my way to the door

Intro ✨

I go by LR!

Lesbian, Aquarius, Soup Enthusiast, Autistic, and nearly 30. (She/they)

This blog is a melting pot of every media I’ve ever loved. Expect posts about hockey, books, Critical Role, Star Trek, and more. (Re: hockey: I'm a Preds fan by birth, Caps fan by choice, and a Kraken fan by accident. I’ve adopted the Sirens and the Victoire.) I refuse to maintain multiple blogs, and I’m gonna be real, I am not good at tagging. It’s chaos, baby.

I'm on AO3 under notlayingroses as well. I've written for Men's Hockey RPF (shocker), Heated Rivalry, Critical Role, and other various fandoms from past hyper fixations. I have never used and will never use AI. Support human creatives!! I update when the muse speaks to me and do not control the hyper fixation.

If you're here cause of my hollanov/cens beat reporter fics and are new to hockey, welcome!! If you're looking for more of my hockey 101 posts for folks hoping to write slightly more accurate hollanov fics, I've tagged all those posts on my blog as #Hockey 101 with LR

If you’re in line for To Build a Legacy, stay in line!!! I promise I haven't abandoned it!! I am still actively working on it!! - 6/18/26

Feel free to send me an ask about any of my fics or any of my fandoms! I'd love to chat!

xoxo,

LR

world heritage post: avatar femslash fans on livejournal discussing the possibility of a lesbian or bi lead in the legend of korra in 2010, 2 years before the series first aired. four years later, korra and asami walked into the spirit world together holding hands.

happy korrasami day!

late summer / early fall thoughts

[washedupkam]

jamie and trevor have never had different nhl contract years and that will continue until 2030. signed their ELCs in 2020, signed matching three year bridge extensions in 2023, and now signed matching four year “prove it” extensions on their new team together. forever and ever and EVER

Wdym you hate Stratt? Without her you don’t get a story

[its-too-many-fandoms]

Omg I love this piece. Grace the hanging man, content with his life but cannot avoid the changes coming; the ship his noose, the rope that binds him to his fate; the blood red stars beside him, Olesya and Yáo the angels haunting him in the background. Eva Stratt, the one who holds it all on her back, the world is literally on her shoulders, the Petrova line on her neck. She will not falter, cannot afford to move, and yet still she glares at us. Eva challenges us, daring us to ask if we could do better, if we could hold her burden for even a fraction of the time.

Eve, the mother of sin, who held the world in her hands and was cursed for not knowing.

Eva, director of the task force, who now holds the world, and still must curse man to save it.

In the end, it always falls on a woman. I could never hate you Eva Stratt

It’s so crazy that part of North America is on fire and the hazardous smoke is affecting half the continent in a catastrophic climate disaster and we’re all just supposed to go to work like this is normal

You can begin this process at any time, regardless of how old you have become.

Interviews with hockey players are fantastic, because it is a complex game that can be spoken about at length, but during the intermission they'll find the Wettest player imaginable on the losing team and for thirty seconds they'll ask them things like "what do you need to do to get more pucks in the net?" And the player (panting, haunted behind the eyes) says something like "well, we've got to get them in there"

Campaign Three Out of Context

[happydivorce]

the first thing u need to understand about athletes is that they are cringe losers bc they skipped school in hopes of never having to work a real job. the second thing you need to understand abt athletes is that they are first and foremost workers whose years of lucrative labour are capped by the very real limit that the strain of that selfsame work puts on their bodies which means they retire at an age before most people's careers even really take off and are expected to get by for the rest of their lives on the money they earned those few years. the third thing you need to understand is that they want to fuck their coworker.

to the people who said “this except alcohol”: i support you & your sobriety/preference for other substances. i hope all goes well and you have the best summer ever.

to the few people who said “this except rpf”: sorry this isn’t about you. this post is for real rpfers only and if you can’t get behind that then you aren’t invited to the BDY summer plans

Does anyone know what to do about the temperature and also the prices

Heterosexual relationship culture is so alien to me and I don’t know if it’s the fact I’m not cishet or the fact I’m autistic but I hear so many things that make me go “Am I insane or are they?”

There’s a lot of hate on widowers and I saw a woman say “You cannot compete with a dead woman.” which is perhaps a reasonable statement to say if he’s constantly comparing you to his dead partner but that wasn’t what the post was about. And I realized “Oh my God, these people genuinely feel like they’re constantly in competition with their spouse’s exes and the ex being dead makes them feel insecure that they cannot best her.”

There’s also been an uptick in the ‘men and women cannot be ‘just’ friends’ rhetoric which I feel like is extremely dangerous and reflects the rise of fascism and sexism. Some of these stories of women feeling threatened by their husband’s female best friend have some merit and others are like “I feel angry that my husband still talks to the girl he grew up next door to and she and her wife are invited to family gatherings and included in family photos sometimes. Am I right to be suspicious?” No. No you’re not. I cannot imagine being you and living with that high level of stress and paranoia and constant torment and jealousy about your husband having a positive relationship with anyone who isn’t you.

okay look i know this isn't relevant to this post past the second paragraph but. here's the thing. the facts of the case are as follows:

1) I am widowed. my Beloved Wife of Blessed Memory(tm) died in 2019

2) I got together with my current partner about 18 months later

3) when I am committing acts of Foolishness my current partner loves to gesture at the sky to my dead wife, like "do you see this shit, my liege" and regularly says to me things like "[wife's name] was right about this" when my Foolishness inevitably comes back to bite me in the ass

4) this happens. all the time

more importantly:

5) my current partner is on tumblr

6) they love to incessantly send me posts

WHICH MEANS:

7) they just sent me this post with this commentary:

8) they really, really are ganging up on me with her. god help us if there's an afterlife and those two ever actually meet. "eternal rest" my ass, i will never know peace again
