The soldiers as tarot cards.
[id: five art pieces of the soldiers depicted as different tarot cards. teor is shown as the star, kneeling with a star radiating behind his head like a halo and his weapon plunged into the ground. tyranny is the devil, holding her knife up in front of her eye as it reflects a firey face. thimble is judgement, spinning through the air with her weapons drawn in front of a banner background of gold, red, and green. wick is the fool, his hands in front of him on his staff in front of a background of silver chains, candles, thorns, and the creed symbol. kattigan is the hermit, drawn facing away from the viewer towards a night sky and drinking from a bottle as wulferic curls around his back. end id.]
[ID: Two digital drawings of Orym and Dorian Storm from Critical Role. On the left is a drawing of just Orym, smiling and looking pleased and flustered. He's poking the tips of his index fingers together. The drawing on the right is of Orym and Dorian together, kissing. Text above their heads reads "+3 hope". End description.]
*Robbie Daymond voice* kiss kiss kiss kiss!!
"Pride Night", Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov, Scott Hunter [Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Francois Arnaud] from Heated Rivalry, the original cover from the [REDACTED] zine
Mar 2026
This is a several layer work. First, I found three blank jersey templates and redesigned the Metros/Raiders/Admirals jerseys into a pride format. I then found a reference pic of three men standing next to each other wearing jerseys. I used inkscape to photoshop the jerseys onto the reference pic, and then photoshopped Hudson, Connor, and Francois's faces into place.
I then ran it through my process of playing with vectorising/lighting/overlaying watercolour textures and stock images, isolating the lines, drawing in more lines (don't look too closely at their numbers or their feet because I almost messed them up a few times). I blurred the letters because it's meant to look like a painting, I removed the lines from the Raiders icon because it was too busy, and then overlaid everything.
Believe it or not, the reflection on the ice was the hardest part of this. And if you still fucking think this is AI, just go ahead and block me already because I'm over trying to prove myself to everyone.

I had the incredible privilege to design this year’s Pride Shirt from Critical Role! It features our beloved Blue Boi Dorian Storm on hos steed Coriolis. I snuck in a little favour of his lover, tied to his arm, and some sneaky Latin: “Amore fiunt homines” is Latin for “It’s love that makes people.”
You can find it in all the CR shops! I’ll be offering prints, too. https://shop.critrole.com/collections/new-products/products/how-do-you-want-to-slay-this-t-shirt

[ID: A digital illustration of Dorian Storm and Orym from Critical Role. They're wearing their outfits from the Maelstrom Kingdom promo art and they both have mermen's tails. Dorian's tail is a sunset ombre with blue fins and Orym's tail is green with pale pink fins. They're under water, just above the sea floor and surrounded by coral, small fish, and kelp. Orym is swimming up next to Dorian's face, they're holding hands and smiling at each other. End description.]
I don't think they even have mermaid tails in the promo art but that won't stop me!! 🪸🫧🪼
it's the best game you can name 🍆💦👅
the reviews are in! thanks for watching 🥰🫡😈😜
i do love and respect the idea of the world at large being stunned at finding out how long ilya and shane have been together, but i truly think that under NO circumstances would shane ever choose to offer ANY personal details about himself or their relationship willingly.
which combined with ilya loving just making things up and saying them (as seen in the "yes, the rumors are true-" scene) offers the very funny idea that ilya actively tries to offer as much privacy as possible by just throwing out stories about them at random so there IS no central story for people to hound shane about.
assorted backstories a la "ilya just started talking and found out with everyone else where he was going with this":
they got snowed in at all stars one year (b-but wasn't that year in florida?) and decided there was nothing better to do
it started as a bit and neither is willing to give up first
they paired off to combine forces like nato
they paired off to limit how many kids they could have in the future to make sure hockey stayed fair
ilya lost a bet six years ago
shane lost a bet three years ago
ilya got tired of remembering phone numbers for his hookups and shane's is easy
ilya got tired of having to look things up in english and french when talking to other people and decide to marry someone who speaks two languages to save time
shane is gifted enough (wink wink wink) that other people are cowards and only ilya was brave enough to rise to the challenge (this one gets him in trouble on the phone later but it also gets him laid that night at home and also confuses the online speculation about who tops and bottoms, so net positive tbh)
yuna hollander is the best manager in the business and a political marriage was the best way to secure her services longterm
with the end result that all shane has to do is shrug and "my husband has already told our story a thousand times by this point. no point in repeating it and boring people." in interviews to get out of people trying to dig into things he doesn't want to tell them.
the reporter obviously knows he's not serious (...mostly) but plays along with "what kids?" and ilya just ☝️ as he pulls out his phone and starts looking through, and everyone is like "surely not...bUT WHAT IF", and then he goes "ah! here", and holds out his phone
and it's a picture of anya and luca haas
and ilya just "thirteen hours of labor, but worth every minute, yes?" as he puts his phone back looking SO fucking pleased with himself because he really at least 33% had them for a second
a VISIONARY addition
heated rivalry twitter (66/?) its a period piece 😌

okay but anecdotes about other people accidentally having other people's service dogs task for them because dog just went "oh you are doing thing i am meant to fix" has me laughing imagining shane just having a high anxiety day for some reason and someone's anxiety service dog (maybe still in training, so a lil confused still) continuing to try and approach and task, but shane is just CONVINCED that it's ilya somehow trying to get this dog to keep coming over, and he's already on edge anyway, so people noticing that this dog keeps trying to come closer just keeps winding him up more, which just makes the dog try to come back over, which just makes him tell ilya to knock it off again, which makes ilya say he's not doing anything, which makes-
and finally whoever the handler is just "sorry, she's still in training." and ilya is just "ah, a professional in training. what a smart girl." "yeah, she's training to be an anxiety service dog. :)"
and ilya just looks RIGHT at shane, who is suddenly
oh my GOD, they had been fighting about getting another dog because ilya wanted anya to have a sibling and shane wanted to call it at one dog because what if the next one ISN'T good and now they're going to have two dogs AND one is a problem-
so they're already miffed at each other, and shane is convinced ilya keeps somehow signaling this dog to come over because he's being an asshole about their fight about dogs, the exchange about her being an anxiety service dog happens, shane avoids eye contact COMPLETELY and manages to fully escape standing next to ilya
but then ends up retreating to an empty conference room that the dog and handler also happen to go to as a break place for the dog, and the handler is like no worries if not it's okay but do you mind letting her practice tasking? it's really okay if not but she seems really eager-
and what is shane going to do? say no i won't help out with training this dog? no.
but now he's laying down under the very reassuring pressure of this dog, totally physically relaxed, but just sighs and goes "...goddamnit" because he knows ilya is going to find out about this SOMEHOW and then they're going to end up with a second fucking dog
in their household, she is dogtor rosie because she has a degree even if she doesn't use it (ilya made it, it hangs on the fridge), and when shane tries to appeal to ilya to help him call rosie off when she's tasking, ilya shakes his head and refuses
it's dogtor's orders
dogtor rosie is SO good at this! she's a little angel (and sometimes menace), and i adore her.
i can also maybe picture anya picking up the basics of some of these moves/behaviors after the two dogs have spent some time together and she's seen rosie receive positive attention/praise for doing so. (ilya is for sure providing that, even if shane himself is more unsure at first)
all of a sudden, anya is also now fetching things With Purpose when she senses that someone is upset/anxious. she doesn't have rosie's discernment or training, so she's not grabbing water bottles or prescriptions (even if they are for the wrong person), but she is bringing whatever random item feels right in the moment. she has the spirit!!!
it's very hard for shane to stay in his anxiety spiral for long with two concerned dogs insistently handing him ilya's medication and.... the tv remote? and well, if rosie is going to press herself across shane's lap, anya is going to do it too!!! she won't be left out of the cuddle pile when a packmate is in distress! and if rosie is going to be licking and nudging shane's hands every time he goes to pull at his hair, redirecting him, anya is doing the same—she's not going to miss out on any opportunity to be pet, either!
ANYA DOING HER RESIDENCY UNDER SUPERVISING PAWSICIAN DOGTOR ROSIE
also the idea of anya frantically looking around for an item to give shane when rosie goes to grab the empty pill bottle from the counter because she WILL go looking for it if they don't leave it there for her is SO cute and funny to me. incomplete list of items anya has prescribed shane to make him feel better:
his sunglasses
ilya's keys
yuna's purse
a pair of tongs for the grill
her leash AND rosie's leash
a pillow from their bedroom
her stuffed hockey stick toy
the empty pill bottle when she got there first, prompting an annoyed rosie to try and take it from her because that's HER item!! give it!! meaning it actually did work because shane is now having to ref a sibling squabble over helping him with an empty bottle of medication that wasn't even his to start with
and @hardlyhinged adding your tags here because Best Wiggly Girl hopping the boards and getting carried off with a puck in her mouth is SO delightful to me
she is their biological daughter <3
