I like aerie underwear and the drop off has been unreal. I bought a bra this past Black Friday that is advertised as the same product I have bought for years, but it is literally designed differently and with different materials. It’s not the same bra! Panties similar but not as bad. I’m so upset.

Very extremely frustrating when you have been buying the same several products from a specific clothing retailer for the last decade or so and can in real time see and feel the quality drastically slipping in just the last two years due to *frantically waves hands at everything*

Ooh boy. I know that feeling.

Ugh. The worst.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

And, “Do you know your password?” to everyone else.

I just love Ilya in this fic SO MUCH:

“Because two things could be true. Ilya could love to win and he could also love coaching a team that had taken him in when his world was collapsing around him. He could be competitive and loyal. He could love and suffer. Look at him go.” 😭😭😭

The final chapter was just posted and I’m about to read the whole thing again. It’s so good.

Ilya receives a career ending injury before the ASG in 2017 and is recruited to be assistant coach (and team gay dad) for the Centaurs. Then Shane, who he hasn’t spoken to for years, is traded to Ottawa. 🥰

If you know me, you know I love a novel-length fic and this fandom is entering the stage where dedicated authors are completing some really fucking good ones. I’ve read half/most of this fic twice now.

You can go live now on this app? Literally never done that before but like, I’d really rather have polls and private posting. 😬

Good idea! I’m so bad at writing things down.

🤞🤞🤞

I had gotten sad and stuck on a blow job scene in the sex pollen HR wip I'm working on, but I beta read a bit of a friend's wip tonight and got inspired to go back to it. Had a little breakthrough and wrote like 350 words! \o/

Exactly what I was thinking…

Shane is afflicted with the time traveler’s wife time traveling problem, so naturally his younger self appears at the cottage post/ep 6. I wasn’t sure about this premise either but it turned out wonderfully sweet. Very well done!

I wasn’t sure what to expect going in but this au was lovely and well researched. There’s a subplot re: Shane’s food issues that may not jive with some folks, but overall I really loved this one. Esp the end.

I surely do! It’s stuck in my head now lol

All amazing streets!

Guys I know everything is incredibly bad but please stop for a moment and enjoy this photo of my fucking amazing cat. Look at this shape. The box behind him is his thinking box, he sits in it and thinks

Shane makes a friend of a kid brought up from the AHL. He starts teaching Shane Russian and Ilya loses his mind about it. Very fun.

Love this for you

I like my Dad’s favorites: The Lord of The Rings and Master and Commander. Some of his other favorites I’m not as wild about: Braveheart and Jeremiah Johnson.

I sort of put this idea in my fic but I just think that when Ilya Rozanov automatically assumes the loons sound like wolves, it shows not only that he’s SUCH a city kid but also that he doesn’t have like an innate sense of safety!! There could be danger ANYWHERE for this poor child!!!!! PROTECT HIM!

I was vaguely vibing for a little while but then the end just ruined everything I sort of liked about it.

Rewatching HR episode 4 talking about the club girl’s hoop earrings and whether they are period appropriate or what. Conclusion: some girls just wear hoop earrings even if they’re not on trend, especially club girls. And we love her anyway.

So Gaiman’s popped up again so I decided to reshare my musings about Douglas Adams and American Gods. This is still absolutely the most petty thing to complain about in relation to Gaiman. But I will never forget that in so many little ways, he’s just a fucking asshole and a user.

Some: probably religion? Others: making cheese. Still others: getting out of Poland.

Agreed.

Nooooooo
