time lost its shoes

thinking about this post and what rly damages the ecosystem is this expectation that if someone liked one thing you made they will like everything…... and then fandom connections are predicated upon people performing "like" bc it’s the marker you use for your own performance and worth. and this is wrong not only because quality does not inform enjoyment but bc you could also have written something dumb as hell. like objectively. at any time. and we have to own that

if you havent experienced it this might sound too goofy to be real but there are more people than you think who will stop you in the street to be like hey so i noticed you didnt comment on my fic despite being in someone else's replies at 4:48 AM on 05/29 which suggests you definitely did see it as i posted a mere 92 minutes before. do we have a problem? should i kill myself in front of you now or later

now of course they try to make a Gretzky power play rule (rule they made that was designed to defang Gretzky bc of how he was dominating pps) for hollanov. the hollanov rule is that no two centers are allowed on the ice at the same time during a power play (because obv hollanov are playing on diff lines but together on the pp). what they don't account for is that coach wiebe very simply can and will switch them to the same line. and the league is like FUCK because now for MORE of the game hollanov is sharing ice time. so now they're like okay you know what the hollanov rule amendment 1 is that you can't have two centers on the ice ever. ilya simply switches to right wing. the league is like hollanov amendment 2 MARRIED PEOPLE cannot play on the same line.
