#san jose sharks

[samezukah]

so u mean to tell me we'll never get ekybord selfies again

[madswashere11]

no bc what is up with the sharks and somehow everyone finding their bsf (or more) but like literally their perfect soulmate. does grier do matchmaking tests before drafting or signing, is there something going on we don’t know about.

I hope the senator fans that make eky posts this upcoming season keep tagging him with the sharks tag. I would like to see my sons face.

oh i never know how to explain this properly but i looooooooooooooooove when a story just absolutely TELLS you something and it’s so obvious it goes right by you. like the equivalent of hiding in plain sight. i’m thinking in the original cut(?) of alien where they showed the full xenomorph, crouched and ready to pounce, but because we’ve never seen it before, we can’t tell what it is and interpret it as part of the spaceship. or it’s a detail that seems so out of place or wildly insane that you automatically ignore it and assume you misinterpreted until that exact detail comes back in a big way? (like when noah the raven boy flat out tells everyone he’s a ghost and they take it as a joke, so the reader does too) is there a tvtropes name for this i’m obsessed with it

I think that this is known as "delayed decoding" in literary analysis. The term was coined by Ian Watt in the '70s, don't remember the exact year, to describe a technique used by Joseph Conrad in Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness, but a lot of writers picked it up. It's basically what you described: you present a detailed image but don't make its moral and psychological relevance obvious. You give facts but not their meaning, not until later, and the revelation can come directly from the characters who suddenly realize what they have observed or it can also be left in the text, to be understood by the reader. You can see why Modernists loved it!

My pixel ahh view of mack messing with will and dickie

[anglaised]

the desire to pretend white women are simply always victims and groomed into fascist movements instead of being willing participants is by design, u have been taught ur entire life that white women are dainty angels that have to be lead and protected and no harm they do is fault of their own, thats why u think literal nazi women are just confused harmless babies, it’s designed that way on purpose

if i was a star and you were a star i would wink at you and blink at you and twinkle at you and the earthlings would call it science

[mooned-knights]

is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society

[roadhogsbigbelly]

i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.

i was feeling pretty emotional these past few days especially after my favorite player got traded (mukh). i don't even know what the heck grier is doing, i hope whatever it is, it's truly for the betterment of our team. this gifset was done pretty fast, around 1-2 hours so it's a little bit clunky but I wanted to do it anyways just to process my feelings a tad. so I apologize for the quality. ‎more edits? 📹💿 | wip: 🍏, 🍎

they’ve taken reavo from me I’m never going to recover from this
