I forgot for a moment that i should not be interacting with Fandom At Large
Fandom is a mess of very loud very ignorant people
Fans are good, smart, empathetic, capable of nuanced conversation
Fandom is a fucking mess
Wtf do you MEAN the ending to tlg doesn't make sense. wtf do you MEAN 'that org would never do that!' Or 'that trade would never happen!'
DUMB ASS SHIT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME FOREVER. Its HOCKEY. It doesn't MAKE SENSE 😂😂😂😂
The amount of hockey rivalmance fans who act like they have never watched a org collapse due to poor management, or fuck around with their star player only to Find Out or see a fuck ass trade is wild
so true bestie
What I am divining here is that i should work on my fanfics
[update] Identified: We've identified the problem and are working on a fix. We expect to remain down for several more hours. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience!
The etsy witches WILL be hearing from me 😤
The biggest issue is that I need this trade to unfold a Specific Way for the plot but i am unwilling to handwave, which means I either have to re-write, write more, or Figure It The Fuck Out
I do love being a pedantic little shit but TRADES ARE SO COMPLICATED
I can just handwave this. I don't NEED to teach myself about the rules of trading.
I won't handwave this. But i could.
Waiving a NMC and Free Agency means that Shane SHOULD have his pick, right? Or would it be more like Metros management only have to present his agent certain trades, or would he have a list of what teams he would take a trade to... FUCK trades.
Somehow this hurts more than women's silver
At least Poulin was ON THE ICE
Does anyone know a decent amount about hockey trades? I am officially lost in the sauce in my trade fic
normies: more Olympic hockey overtime!!!! so exciting
hockey fans: once again we are subjected to The Great Travesty
The Worst Part of being in a fandom where people not only Don't Know Hockey but are PROUD of not knowing anything about Hockey is hearing all the shit-wrong-bad takes about the fucking Monteal Hockey Team.
i've noticed some heated rivalry fanfic writers interpreting
shane's diet as no-carb/low-carb, and I wish I could inform them that he's undoubtedly eating A TON of carbs, just as whole grains like rice or barley or whatever. he probably burns like 5000 calories per day.
Inspiration notes on my current wip:
"okay 1. I can hear the Canadian accent in this one
2. That's a lot of hockey speak
3. I can feel the rage in this one babe 10/10 please keep going"
😈
GOALIE FIGHT!!!!
Annnnd i'm stuck. I know the shape of the next scene but not the details.
How do I have. Another. Fucking. Plot. Bunny??
Just gonna be thinking about this fic where Ilya gets shot for the next fifty years k bye archiveofourown.org/works/75983456
Okay but HOW many jokes does Shane hear on the daily about his mail order bride?
I am not saying you need to get into One Piece.
I am saying, when the time is right, you will look in the mirror and already be a One Piece fan.
Also inspired by swingset
I want the media documentation of the riots after Shane Hollander is traded
A 2 page ad in the Gazette? The Metro's front offices WISH. Someone covered the coaches car in eggs and salmon.
Inspired by swingset on tumblr - the canon divergence i want is the bidding war for Shane Hollander ends with him going to completely different team.
Gaggle of Russian players show up at Ilya's to kidnap him for a night out & he is frantically shushing them when a sleepy voice calls out 'Ilya? Come back to bed.'
They freeze.
Ilya, glaring bloody murder at the crew, croons 'go back to sleep moy rodnaya.'
(Alt idea could be Surprise Boys Night)
🥲 i would need to think up more plot points.
So far I have that one and smth riffing off ify & emily's notes app thing
(Maybe ottawa has a 'guess which screenshot belongs to which player' game and harris can't see why NOT to post ilya's weird tally list)
The fic i would write if i wanted to do a media au

- so did anyone else notice shane hollander wearing a day collar or is that just me?
Repost
- [Gayle meme 'was anyone going to tell me shane hollander was a sub or was that something i was supposed to find out on peep myself?']
I cannot believe more ppl haven't made the Shane Hollander - Patrick Roy connection
Like - where the fuck are the fics where Shane tells the GM in the middle of the game that he's Done?
