Recently got into The Raven Cycle series (finished it in two days hehe) and I saw this meme for a different fandom and just thought it fit.

ive been living out of my truck in canada for a few months now. ive met a good range of people at random pubs. obviously ive met quite a few men who have heard of heated rivalry and never watched but three times ive met men who have said theyre scared if they watch it they will start thinking of their favorite hockey players fucking...

The Reluctant Victor, inspired by The Reluctant Bride by Auguste Toulmouche - I just thought that this painting was SO perfect for Katniss and I had to draw it!

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"

I think the root of this Troy Situation is the same problem as a lot of other Situations here, wich is that there's a loud part of this fandom that genuinely doesn't like the source material.

They don't like these books, they don't like most of these character and they actively dislike Rachel Reid, and that's FINE but at that point it's like, why put all this time and effort on a thing you clearly don't like? Who knows people are all kinds of weird, block and let live I guess 😵‍💫

right like im not gonna begrudge you or say you're "not a real fan" if you haven't read the books but when you take characters and twist them to fit this narrative you've created for the sole purpose of being mad about it? maybe find something else to watch?

OH MY GOD THANK YOU I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS FINDING ALL THIS DISCOURSE HEAVILY INFANTILISING SHANE LIKE THAT IS A BIG HOCKEY MAN WHO HAS CANONICALLY GONE THROUGH SO MUCH SHIT WHY DO PEOPLE THINK HED HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST A YOUNGER GUY WHO HE PROBABLY DIDNT EVEN REGISTER WHEN HE HAD TO FACE DALLAS FUCKING KENT

this is basically every time troy is mentioned by shane in tlg

yes, shane acknowledges that he thought troy was a homophobic douchebag (which, most of the v0y*g3rs are too, it's not significant enough for shane to really care), but he's also the one that suggests to ilya that troy might not be so bad

the ONLY instances where shane expresses dislike for troy is when shane gets jealous about his friendship with ilya. do we REALLY think ilya would be as easy to forgive and become close friends with a man who had thrown racial slurs at shane? ilya who fought his own brother for being rude to svetlana? I've seen a lot of people say that troy's redemption was "too easy" but ive also not seen anyone be able to point at anything that would be considered actually unforgivable by the characters (NOTE: IM TALKING ABOUT THE CHARACTERS. NOT WHAT REAL PEOPLE WOULD PERSONALLY NOT EXCUSE. THE CHARACTERS ARE NOT PARAGONS OF MORALITY)

and to top it all off, shane literally forgets that troy is the second openly queer player in the league? that man is NOT significant enough to take up real space in shanes brain. why do people think he'd hold a grudge against assholish comments troy may or may not have made when he was kents lackey? the end of tlg even has them hinting that they're gonna be friends!

sure, people might choose to think they wouldn't get along, but nothing in the text actually supports that? its so weird to me. shane isn't a little baby who needs to be protected from the big scary world. he's a realistic character that's gone through a lot of change and growth in his own right, and I don't see him as the type to think other people are incapable of change

also: this is gonna be the last post i make about this/the last anon i answer. I don't wanna invite further discourse onto this blog. if you wanna talk more about it tho, my dms are open
