Hello folks! Do not expect anything cohesive from this blog I bounce around between fandoms and nobody can control it not even I. I’m here to have a good time

Current obsessions:

Seattle Torrent/PWHL

Survivor

Project Hail Mary (mainly book, but also movie)

Yellowjackets

Pluribus

[seattletorrents]

I really do feel like the torrent were screwed over this whole season, so this expansion draft situation is salt in the wound.

The torrent losing four players on phase 2, including our captain, while still having ranked last AND not earning first in the gold plan is just laughable at a certain point

We are so good at being losers

[bee-a-ts]

obviously losing players sucks but tbh the thing I'm finding the most frustrating about this expansion draft is. how do I put this. founding PWHL teams got two full seasons to settle in before expansion. Torrent got on the ice together for the first time in November 2025, had the Olympics borrow many of our key players and send several of them back injured so they couldn't play the rest of the season, and now has to contend with a league expansion twice the size of the previous one that is taking more from Torrent than almost any other team (not to mention the questionable EFO stuff with Knight) while we don't even have a head coach. like yes, we were last in the league this season, and some of the reasons for that were internal, but we're also not being given the same chance to work through our growing pains that every other team except Vancouver got to have (and Vancouver so far has been insulated from the expansion draft, so Torrent is on uneven footing with them, too).

ok last vent of the day but I do kind of resent the "now seattle fans know how we felt" posts because they imply that a bunch of us weren't pwhl fans before we got teams and that we don't have empathy and it shows a weird need to punish people for things they had no say in. I'm not mad at detroit or san jose or vegas fans and I hope we go a good few years with no expansions both so we can rest and so they don't have to experience this because it sucks real bad.

Anyway it isn't that deep so you can ignore me, and I know that sports fandoms Feel Things Deeply and rivalries and bad blood can be intense, and I avoid reading comments on other social media because I feel like ig and tiktok pwhl fans are insane. It's just like. Can't we all just have fun together? This is a game, it's fun. like right now it doesn't feel fun but the wounds will heal and November will roll around sooner than you expect and we will put on our gear and go to games and scream until we lose our voices and we will have fun again. And in 4 more cities even more people are also going to be able to do this!!!

It will be different but it will be ok

I’m tired of this grandpa

(pwhl executive committee voice) well there’s no rule against making one of the five Phase 2 signings a dog who knows puck…

seeing 1500 comments on the insta post announcing Britta Curl to Detroit and it's so much "oh I guess I won't be going to games" "oh I guess I'm cancelling my season ticket deposit" oh okay and then donating that money to a nonprofit/mutual aid fund that supports trans people, right? and advocating for the league to create a gender inclusion policy, right?

the way pwhl fans have made Britta Curl the scapegoat for the league will never not piss me off, not because I agree with her beliefs, but because by scapegoating one player and directing all your attention to loudly hating her you don't actually do anything real.

Also, aside from the fact that Britta Curl is not the only player with her beliefs in the league, I actually don't think yelling at the league to fire her is productive! I actually don't think a business should be allowed to discriminate against employees based on their political beliefs! I think that's a dangerous precedent to set, personally!

Like you don't have to spend your money in support of a franchise with players who are loud about politics you don't agree with. But saying they don't deserve to pay their bills and feed themselves is not exactly the most progressive take either.

I am once again coming #onhere to remind people that if you don't love trans people more than you hate transphobes your outrage is performative at best and I'm tired of seeing it constantly in pwhl fan spaces

Adding some tags that I think are important, from @midwesticebird @minahxrker @monopeptide and @sadpearonmars :

I just want to also add a masterlist of resources for things you, pwhl blogger, can concretely do to combat transphobia in the PWHL!

Firstly, use this template/guide to email the league and the pwhpa to demand they develop, release, and implement the gender inclusion policy they still owe us.

Additionally, if you have the financial means, pledge to donate in Curl's name. I personally did $5 per point and $1 per PIM this past season, but you can choose whatever donation makes sense for you! Also, here are some places you can donate that advocate for LGBTQ people in hockey/detroit/both:

You Can Play

The Ruth Ellis Center (see @whitecherrylavender's reblog for more details)

The Detroit Chapter of Stonewall Sports (see @royaletigertowelpapertowelpp's reblog for more)

From u/pythagoreanpentagram on reddit: Stand With Trans and Transgender Michigan

You can also follow along with a Detroit fan-led effort to fundraise for trans nonprofits at puckcurl.com

If anyone else has suggestions for things PWHL fans can do, please comemnt/reblog with them and I'll add to this!

The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws

[cbarc]

people that hate on the britta curl hate bc “there’s other transphobes in the league!” okay fucking drop their names so I can start booing them too

[weewooelectricboogaloo]

Love how the Sirens’ plan was to overwork Ozzy, not give a rookie backup goalie any kind of relevant experience in the league, pay Ozzy zero dollars, and not protect her in the expansion process. If we had changed ONE of these decisions I’d probably feel better about where we are. But our GM has the strategic mind of a pudding cup and our coach has never heard the phrase “load management”.

hot take I thought grace getting drunk in the movie was out of character there I said it

i will never forgive project hail mary (2026) for cutting the scene in the book where rocky’s carapace opens like the jaws of hell, liquid mercury dripping out everywhere, so that he can take a massive fucking shit.
