Info on Hermit ice skating, cobbled together from various streams:

It was a surprise for Tango’s birthday! He’d caught wind that ice skating was on the docket as a possibility earlier on, but he didn’t think anything was planned for certain and he was worried that it would be public skate. Turns out the other Hermits had rented out the ENTIRE rink for an hour, just for themselves! And they kept it on the down low until they could surprise him day-of. According to Tango, it was Gem’s idea, and Grian and Skizz put it together.

Gem and Tango finally had their skate-off! Tango admits defeat and relents that Gem is the better skater. Might be because she was outpacing him going backwards.

The last time Impulse had gone skating was ten years ago, and upon hearing that he was gonna get back on the ice, his wife had so much faith in him that she immediately looked up the nearest hospital. Yep.

As expected, when he first got on the ice, Impulse initially sucked at it, but by the end of the hour he was COOKING. And even going backwards! Gem complimented him and said he did great.

Gem also said that Impulse gets flaily and spins when he feels like he’s about to fall which is hilarious.

Tango had a boomer moment: Impulse asked him to record a video of him skating so he could show his wife, and Tango ended up recording two or three laps of his own stupid mug. LOL

Impulse was beaming ear to ear the entire time. He had so much fun!

EDIT thank you Inferna: Impulse has expressed very strong interest in joining Tango’s hockey team. The season has already started, so it’s a bit late to sign up, but Tango said he’ll talk to the coach. Stay tuned ;-)

Despite not being on the ice in ten years, Gem can still figure skate! She was doing jumps and spins and stuff and wowing everyone else. She herself described it as “I can still skate as well as a 6-year-old. But I impressed my coworkers, so that’s what matters.”

Gem had so much fun on the ice that it might as well have been a treat for her specifically. “It feels like it’s my birthday too.”

This video. Nuff said.

Martyn, to the surprise of no one, is good at everything and was immediately a natural on the ice despite skating maybe only once before, years ago. Tango called him a jerk.

There is an adorable photo of Tango helping Pearl learn to skate for the first time which I’ll include below. Skizz says this is possibly his favorite picture from the entire day, because it displays what a wonderful family dynamic the Hermits have with each other.

EDIT: This tweet from Pearl. Featuring video!

Tango fell ONCE because he was going too fast, started spinning and almost hit the boards.

The Hermits made good use of the plastic seals that are used as training supports for kids. Skizz said he had to bend all the way down to hold on to the thing. He’s gigantic. You can imagine how that looked.

At one point Skizz was sitting on one of the seals and Tango was pushing him around. Skizz fell off.

Reportedly, there was a game of Mario Kart using the seals. Grian sat on a seal with Tango pushing him, and Jimmy, Gem, and Martyn were also apparently involved. Two laps. Miraculously no injuries. Cleo has footage.

EDIT: Footage of the Mario Kart race and more on Jimmy’s vlog!! Tango and Grian won. Gem and Pearl were not really trying all that hard. Martyn and Jimmy came dead last. And then Jimmy fell off.

Cleo took ten steps onto the ice and biffed it. And apparently fell a second time as well. Skating does not appear to be their sport.

Most of the group broke away at one point to play broomball, but Tango, Gem, Impulse, and Martyn kept the skates on until the end of the hour.

The broomball players were encouraged to wear helmets. Skizz did not take a helmet. He fell and nearly ate ice and his own front teeth. Zed begged him to get a helmet. He got a helmet.

Tango admitted that he was possibly the happiest he’s ever happied. “There was whimsy coming out everywhere.”

as a denizen of this busted ass website for half my life now i do know how staff works and i’m going to lay out what they think will happen as someone who has witnessed this exact thing play out

People get very mad for a few days and then roll over and accept the change to the enclosure. This is what they are betting on. They have had meetings about this.

Getting around it: set an alarm. Get mad not just now, but in a few days, a week, two weeks. They are expecting people to sigh and get over this very odd edit to the site in a few days. Keep flooding them for more than just tonight. Be mad for the week, for the month. Leave a message every day.

thegenderal

like . I cant even blame them for being like “we’ll monitor for the week”. Remember when they changed the blue back in like 2015? This website acted like staff had gone into their house and shot their dog. We’re here because we’re allergic to change and therefore it’s hard to parse if people hate the change because it’s bad or because we go into thermonuclear meltdown over what color blue the background of the website is. Just continue to bug them beyond today and beyond this week.

for everyone asking, tumblr is making it impossible for you to add onto ANY post without making it its own separate post. If you put any addition on someone's post its now your post. The OP won't even be privy to any notes it gets unless they check that specific post. This makes it impossible to track anything which is really detrimental to artists who need to know their reach or just see what people are saying about their work. It also just means you can't reblog with any additions without taking notes away from your original post. This is part of what made twitter hostile and its the last gasping breath of a site run by people who don't understand it.

So I've got this friend whose nervous because she's trans and dating this guy who she hasn't told yet because they've only been on a two dates. For this story let's call the friend Jane and the guy she was dating Jason. Happy ending don't worry.

So I tell Jane to bring her boy over to a bbq I'm having and she can tell him she's trans at my place surrounded by queer and trans people who love her and will support her if he ends up being awful.

She waits till the end of the bbq to tell him the news, by which point the rest of us have learned that Jason is a kind, friendly, empathetic, hard working, dummy. So we sit down, all of us a little worried about this gym bro's reaction when she tells him she's trans, and that she understands if he doesn't want to keep dating her it's no big deal.

He's baffled, so we explain what trans is, and after the disclosure that she hasn't had bottom surgery yet...

"Oh you have a dick?"

"... yeah."

He look's around at the room full of people with baited breath, his clearly a little afraid girl friend says

"Oooohhhh! I get it! You think- don't worry Babe! Watch this!"

And ya'll this man jumps up, runs into the kitchen and returns with one of the bratwurst we had for grilling and proceeds to tilt his head back, put it down his throat, hold it in his mouth for a moment, and spit it up without even a whisper of a gag and then looks around at the group absolutely beaming with pride.

My mans saw his worried girlfriend and her support network and thought to him self "Oh they don't think I can't please my girl, but I'll show them!"

I do feel the need to add that later he excitedly tell the group that as a straight guy, he never thought that skill would be useful outside hotdog eating contests.

"Man its too bad that im straight since I've got like no gag reflex and all."

"Honey, I must tell you, i am in fact trans and I have not had bottom surgery."

"My god... everything's coming up Jason."

All due respect to Tumblr staff for listening and rolling back a feature that was obviously not what people wanted. Like, doing that is actually commendable.

When I was early on in my transition I got in a Lyft, and the driver was this big country guy. I was a little nervous so I just sat quietly in the back.

After a moment he changed the music on his phone to what sounded like a Hatsune Miku song. Curiosity got the better of me, so I finally spoke up and said “is this Hatsune Miku?”

And he said “Yep. You looked uncomfortable, and I know Transgender women like Hatsune Miku, so I thought it might help.”

I think about that interaction a lot.
