Hello! I’m Van, He/They. I make gifs, live blog games, chatter about my many teams, prospects, and go down research holes and media collection sprees. I love learning about hockey, general sports, sports media, and fandom. I also archive and transcribe things that I think are cool/important/worth saving on here! Part-time bread, esports, tennis (??) blog <3
Favourite projects I’ve worked on lately: Aerin Frankel and Her Caesar Salad || How to Hide the Getty Watermark || AGAIN (LA-EDM TIMELOOP) || (THE END OF) BC’S FRESHMAN LINE || Modern Defensemen part 1 / part 2 / part 3 || Ivan Fomin: Cocaine Rabbit || Flerovium || GOOSH monster card
Tierlist and extras below the cut
Housekeeping
Interacts and follows from @sailorvee. I am an adult. If you are a minor looking to follow my main blog, I can’t stop you but please be aware there is NSFW on there and it is rarely tagged
This is a non-rpf blog but I believe in their beliefs. GO FORTH AND GOON MY FRIENDS!!!
The only rivalry I care about is CBR Brave vs the world. I hope every other team in the AIHL stays losing
If you are blocked it’s likely not personal & it ain’t that serious, this website just has no mute function.
In the same vein, I do not check for or care about mutual/following tags. Follow me or don’t, it’s up to you. This blog is scattered and themeless and I don’t expect everyone I’m friends with to be into everything I post, but to ME if we interact regularly, regardless of following status, we are friends <3
Trying my best to write alt text/IDs/transcripts for media I post, as well as archived links. Media that is reblogged will be tagged “undescribed” if I’m not feeling up to it. If I make a mistake please shoot me a message
If you ask me about anything a response may take anywhere between 2 hours -> a week -> 9 months, I’m sorry + it will happen again
I take gif requests. Before you ask: I will not gif members of the public/young children/family or friends of players (have recently started to censor their faces if they get caught in a clip). Everything else is fair game if you can provide footage, if you can’t then I’ll do my best to source stuff but no promises!
Where I hang out:
sharks lb (occasionally cuda lb) -> home!!!! started from this hole and will die in this hole!!!!!!!!!!! my sand pit!!! come play :)
lak lb (reign lb) -> kings fan space restoration project. beloved time loop. some of the nicest people around!!!
caps lb -> they acquired PLD and inherited me and now i love them. mwah
sceptres lb -> i know i said idgaf about rivalries but the sceptres should win all of their games and i’m booing everyone else fr
pios / nodak / whatever other college team has prospects I’m following -> given the chl/ncaa rule changes, a lot of my favourite juniors players will be in college this season
chl games -> tagged by team. same as above, my loyalties move with prospects
I root for Finland at internationals by default. After that it just goes by my favourite players. If Australia ever makes it to the main competition at any international hockey event, I hope everyone else explodes !
lpl / vct / msi / lolwc lb -> various esports tags if I happen to be free in the evening and have something to say <3
Random other hockey games whenever I can catch them!! I love free hockey. If there’s free hockey ping me about it and let’s watch together <3
