you should try crossdressing more. both because it's fun and because seeing the different ways clothes are manufactured by gender will give you 50 new reasons to be pissed off. become radicalized against misogyny by flannel quality

Ilya’s last season in Boston did not end with winning the cup.

He tried to shake off the disappointment on his drive home from the losing game, but it was hard. He knew it was a long shot the Raiders would win given the adjustment period they were in, yet it still stung all the same. They made the playoffs, and Ilya couldn’t help but feel the satisfaction in knocking out Montreal in an earlier round, but now it was over. Maybe if he was there for one more season…

But he wouldn’t be. 

Ultimately, he was happy for it. He wanted to leave. 

But it would have been nice to leave off of getting another cup. 

The thrum of his car rattled in his brain as he drove. He considered putting on music, but there was an emptiness in him that prevented him from doing so. The team still planned to go out despite the loss to celebrate the end of the season, but Ilya didn’t have it in him to go. He didn’t want to hear how they were going to win it all next season and what they could do to make it. He didn’t want to pretend that he would still be there to lead them to victory.

God, he missed Shane. He saw him briefly when they were playing each other, but scheduling didn’t allow them to spend any time together besides on the ice and a handful of nights where they only slept and nothing else. It barely even felt like he saw Shane. 

They tried talking over the phone a little bit once Shane was out of the playoffs but Ilya was still so swamped, they hardly spoke.

But, since Ilya was knocked out, that meant Shane would be on a flight to Boston as soon as possible. He would come, and he would help Ilya pack, and they could be together, and it would be perfect.

Ilya clung to that.

Once Ilya was home, he didn’t bother to turn on any lights. He was a little hungry, but the majority of his appetite felt distant and non urgent. His body ached from the violence of the game, nothing sounded better than climbing into bed and passing out.

Or, nothing sounded better until he was face to face with something much better.

Shane Hollander.

Somehow, Shane was standing in front of Ilya in the middle of his living room beside a singular lit lamp. The light cascaded over the side of his face, shadowing his smile. “Surprise?” Shane said with a tinge of awkwardness. 

It took a moment for Ilya to find words. “How are you here right now?”

Shane shrugged. “I got on a flight. I just… wanted to see you. Crazy timing that you lost, but…”

“And if I had won?”

“Then I could have gotten ahead on packing some stuff for you.” He looked around the room a little. “But I’m not packing anything tonight.”

Ilya laughed. 

He laughed fully, and brightly, and it made Shane laugh too, and then Ilya was striding across the room and wrapping his arms around the man that he loved.

He clutched Shane against him with everything that he had, awash with relief. “Thank you,” he murmured into Shane’s neck.

“I’m sorry you lost,” Shane said back. “I know how badly you wanted it.”

“Yes. Is disappointing.”

“Are you sad?”

Ilya sat with the question for a moment, breathing Shane in. “Not as much as I would be if you weren’t here.”

And that truth felt so striking in Ilya’s chest that he felt he had to make an effort to breathe around it. Shane made him so unbelievably happy that it didn’t matter that he lost. It didn’t matter that he just played his last game as a Boston Raider. All that mattered was the life he was about to build with a man that he was so head over heels for that he would feel embarrassed about it if it didn’t make him feel so damn good. 

So, Ilya and Shane stood there as they held each other, finding comfort in the sounds of their breaths. This was it. The start of a whole new existence that Ilya was going to get to share with his favorite person on Earth.

He couldn’t fucking wait.

I think even when you make a cartoonishly evil villain they need some form of semi-understandable motivation. Even if it’s as simplistic as wanting to make money. Like Mr. Krabs.

I love being an adult who always puts my hand out to shake when I meet a kid! every single time their face is like "no one does The Adult Greeting Ritual with me, is this a sign of respect or is this man simply unhinged" and then of course as we talk they realise it's both

The 'cartoon wardrobe' thing where a character in an animated thing only ever wears one outfit doesn't bother me. That's just their design. 'But what about laundry' just isn't a particularly interesting detail to care about.

But if you have a character with one of those Always Outfits, and then there's a timeskip and they show up again a bit older than before, you have to give them something new to wear. I'm willing to ignore laundry, but I've never met a 15-year-old who wants to wear the same thing she wore when she was 12. Laundry isn't an interesting detail. How the character has changed over the timeskip, and how that can be represented in their design, absolutely is.

Hell, it can't even be the same outfit, becuase there's simply no chance it would still fit. The only way to explain the continued use of the costume is if this character intentionally chose to buy a larger version of exactly the same thing they were already wearing every day three years ago to wear every day now. That's an incredibly specific character beat. And it's not one that makes sense for most of the characters who do this. You're already making new art! Just toss two hours of wage at a designer to give them a character-appropriate new fit as well! You can keep the theme colour!

Once again Avatar posting because I've never seen it pointed out how in S1E15 when they go ice dodging and they're going up against some rocks that they can't sail through (not without difficulty), Bato tells them to turn around and find another way, that Sokka (and the rest) have already proven themselves, that due to the attempted genocide (and successful cultural genocide) of the south Bato has likely never seen their ships how they could have traditionally been.

Noone can remember a time where the southern tribe had benders, where they had an actual bending culture. Where the hunts and the fishing trips and the foraging in the tundra and literally everything was accompanied by waterbenders. Throwing up snow or ice to block the route of an animal, gathering up fish and safely navigating sudden rapids, clearing and creating paths to local flora and strengthening ice sheets so noone fell in.

Sokka is the first of the Southern Water Tribe to relearn how to sail with a bender, to trust that they can navigate far beyond the capabilities of a rudder should they need to.

Katara brought bending back to the South, and Sokka matched it every step of the way (well,,,,, every step of the way post Kyoshi lmao) and I'm so,,,

Hello

So I’ve been binging a bunch of DPxDC crossover fics cause they’re hella fun. And I wanted to make some fanart for a handful of the fics I’ve been reading just to show how vastly different Danny gets portrayed. It’s really fun!! I love when ppl make Danny get Jack’s tall ass gene’s, but it’s also funny to see him as a scrawny lil guy. He’s a pretty moldable character

Anywho, it’s just been fun, so here’s some fanart. Thanks to the authors for writing them 🙏

Fics in order of art:

need convincing???? synopsis under the cut. but imagine if The Locked Tomb happened in Victorian London. or, if Sweeney Todd was gay and didn't die at the end. or, if Penny Dreadful was a gay revenge love story and Vanessa Ives did Forbidden Catholic Blood Magic

A queer, gothic horror romance set in a necromancy-tinged London, sure to entrance fans of The Death of Jane Lawrence and Mexican Gothic. [[and also The Locked Tomb. seriously, we should have put The Locked Tomb in the marketing. can't think of everything, guys]]

London, December 1849-

Irene Shallcross Haley has dedicated her life to necromancy, a forbidden, reviled art that is passed along through sentient grimoires bound in human skin. With her undead husband St. John--a marriage of kindred spirits and platonic convenience--she has been protecting the knowledge of generations of witches that came before her. Like any magic, it has come at a cost: her reputation, her relationship with her sister, and her soul. But when Irene's love, Agnes, is hanged for witchcraft, Irene refuses to let Agnes be one more thing that is taken from her.

A true resurrection has not been achieved in two thousand years, but Irene is determined. With the help of St. John, Irene bangs on the doors of the Halls of the Dead, demanding the third part of their triumverate back...or did she? Because the Agnes that awakens comes with both a hunger for raw flesh and a malignant ghost tied to her soul.

Necromancy is the art of saying no--no, I won't let you go; no, I won't let you be destroyed--and Irene's work is not yet done. She must find a way to bring Agnes back to her true self, she must navigate her feelings for her resurrected lover as well as St. John, and she must do all of this without catching the attention of Sir Silas Underhill, the man who sentenced Agnes to death.

Death is not the end of love. But Irene may realize it can actually be the beginning.

so you're telling me the fifa world cup is all men? its all men's teams? and so is the superbowl? and all the sports teams that states are known for and make copious amounts of merch for are also men's teams? and only 5 women have ever entered formula one since its inception in 1950 and only two of them were able to compete? and this is normal? its acceptable?

[gandalfsbignaturals]

what if instead of paying companies to delete our info off of databases periodically we like. idk. passed a law that said companies couldnt do that anymore. and set up some kind of task force to disband all the companies that do that. thatd be cool
