many of you just. genuinely donāt believe that people can grow and change.
this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and itās also about using ātoxicā or āabuserā as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.
Lowk were holding gwyn hostage in ottawa and im kind of okay with it

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT 03.05 | "New York"
Actually the Voyageurs being super shitty to Shane pre-outing isn't just not canon it's actively *against* the text of the book. Shane says that the team has been pretty cool with it (except for a few of the older guys). You have to build in an extra interpretative layer of Shane being so socially dense he's completely misreading the room for the Voyageurs to be as cartoonishly evil as they often appear in fanfic
We really went from "free the nipple" to "um the public didn't consent to you wearing a choker"
GIRL STFU
Boston WAG chat this, Montreal WAG chat that, give me the fic where Kip and Kyle drag Fabian into a groupchat for "Normal Gay Boys Who Did Not Ask To Be Dickmatized By Hockey Jocks, AND YET"

Unoriginal sin. Derivative sin
I get so tired of people fighting over who's right in the long game. Like congratulations, you have identified the element of storytelling called the conflict. Maybe you can do me a favor and also identify the themes.
They BOTH literally admitted they were wrong because they were BOTH wrong about things. THEY BOTH grew as people and partners to each other. What the fuck is the actual point of arguing who's right or wrong? because they both were, and that's the fucking point.
I think one aspect of fandom that will always frustrate me is that everyone seems legitimately mad that the long game has a plot at all
People are legitimately mad that Ilya was traded to the Centaurs, and they're a bad team. THERE WAS NO RULE MAKING OTTAWA A BAD TEAM MANDATORY THAT WAS TO ADVANCE THE PLOT
I've said it once, and I'll say it again, y'all keep begging for characters with flaws, but you bitches(gn) can't even handle Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander
I love y'all, but you guy's retread the same pointless fucking argument in like an eight-hour cycle, like do guys even like hollanov cuz half the time you act like they should break up
As a book fan who read all 600 pre-show Hollanov fics this fanfic boom post-show was honestly so exciting at first. š I was spending hours every day reading every new fic that got posted. Then somewhere along the way I realized⦠I genuinely wasnāt enjoying most of what I was reading anymore. Like, if Iām being honest, I probably didnāt like 80% of it? Eventually I just stopped reading fanfic altogether and went back to published books because I was like⦠why am I doing this to myself? š
Went through a bunch of AI fics that just got exposed, and it turns out I hadnāt actually come across most of them before. But imagine my surprise when I found a few that Iād already tried reading and had given up on because they were either confusing as hell or the writing was just⦠exhausting.
For me, the characterization in AI fics is always lacking and the logical inconsistencies are rampant, but beside that theyāre just⦠so boring.
A lot of them have this thing where chapters or conversations just go round and round in circles. You know what I mean? Like, nothing is actually happening. The story isnāt progressing. Itās just⦠words. So many words.
Itās endless internal monologues that donāt really lead anywhere. Characters repeating the same feelings over and over. Why did I read about Ilya making circles on Shaneās hip with his thumb for the 15th time in one chapter? š Or two characters are having an argument and they quite literally just talk past each other. Nobody actually responds to what the other person said. They just launch into another paragraph of vaguely emotional introspection until eventually the scene ends.
The stories are so wordy, but in the most boring way possible. Theyāre incredibly long and somehow say absolutely nothing. You get the obvious AI tells (the silly similes and overly polished phrasing) but honestly those arenāt even what bothered me the most. It feels like a word salad made out of the most boring words imaginable.
And the funny thing is, real people absolutely can write poorly. The pacing can be rushed, the dialogue can be clunky, the prose can be awkward, the grammar can be a mess. But itās rarely boring. Fanfic exists because someone got obsessed with an idea or a pairing or a scene and couldnāt stop thinking about it. Even when the execution isnāt great, you can usually feel that enthusiasm on the page because youāre reading something someone genuinely wanted to write. With a lot of these probable AI fics, I just donāt feel that. Thereās no sense that someone was excited to tell this story. It just feels like text generated to resemble a story.
And these are the fics Iām constantly being told are sooooo much better than the books? š At least Rachel had a real voice. You can criticize her prose, her pacing, or her characterization all you want, but when you read her work, you know itās her. Thatās something these people can only dream of.

i think it was actually a brilliant choice to have the Voyageurs be fine with shane's sexuality in theory but once they're confronted with a very public relationship and shane makes a mistake, they turn on him (and they can pretend it's all about the trip rather than they're uncomfortable with the reality that their captain is fucking a man they all know and dislike). i think it's a lot more realistic than the idea they were constantly using slurs around him.
Yeah I think I've come to this opinion too.
I think it's such an important thing that it's another player. It being Ilya is a problem, obviously, but it being another player is actually the bigger issue than his specific identity imo (though they use that as an excuse).
Because if Shane's gay and he goes out and gets some civilian boyfriend who can just hang out with the WAGs, wear the WAG jacket and function completely identically to a wife (see: Skip) then that's like, not ideal because your captain who you're supposed to idolize is gay but it's ignorable. It's fine. You can just mostly pretend John the accountant is a woman except when the room chirps Shane about his dating life and very progressively remembers to use he/him pronouns. It's fine.
But Shane dating another player?? Well, fuck, that's a completely different dynamic. Who's the WAG? No one's the WAG. What the fuck, Shane. Are they fucking in the showers? Are other players hooking up too? Is this thing I've devoted my life to actually just a bunch of depraved [insert slur] getting off on slamming each other up against the boards? What the actual fuck, Shane?
Anyway that's how I think the emotions of it works and why they turn so fast
