we’re literally getting more shane and ilya. yay forever

idk i think you should make this character's heterosexuality relevant to the narrative. i mean why are they cis if it's not servicing the plot. you can't just throw story elements in for no reason if you're gonna make an able bodied character it should really serve a purpose. like why are they white are you just trying to fill a checklist? :/

when shane joins the cens the first practice is kinda weird and off and shane can’t figure out what’s going wrong until later that night when he realizes that none of the rookies talked to him directly or looked him the eye the whole time. and he’s like wtf do they not respect me are they homophobic?? ilya has to clue him in like babe they have your posters on their walls they’re intimidated you’re the best player in the league they don’t know how to talk to you. the next practice this is proven when one of the rooks bravely breaks away from the group and walks up to shane. he looks like he’s gonna pass out when he asks shane to sign his stick

I think we forget that at the end of the day, Heated Rivalry is a story about two boys falling in with each other as they grow up. They both learned how to love from the other. They learned who they are together. They're childhood sweethearts in the purest sense of the word. They're just boys with crushes.

Can’t wait for ilya and troy to discover the power of friendship and awkwardly coming out to your coworker while walking around a city that isn’t yours while trying to maintain your aura of cool detached mystique

so frustrating to be a skeptic with a sense of whimsy because like. I want there to be cryptids. I want there to be magic. I want there to be evidence of something we don't fully understand and can't explain. but then 99% of the "proof" out there for that stuff is like. the most obvious scam you've ever seen in your life.

imagine you work at a luxury car dealership. two college kids show up in a shitty rental car one day. one is has facial tattoos and the haughty attitude of a famous person. the other is a dead-faced goth the size of an elf. tattoo boy says they’re here to buy so you humor them and show some cars. elf man doesn’t say a word the whole time but clearly is calling the shots. he points at a Maserati and says he’ll be paying for the whole thing, no financing necessary. then he goes back over to the rental car, where evidently there has been a whole person asleep in the backseat the entire time. this man is about the same height as the goth pixie and dressed like a homeless person. he listens to the goth say something, pulls out several wads of cash, hands them over and goes back to sleep. your boss spends the next hour walking these freaks through the paperwork while you count through what turns out to be nearly 100k in cold hard cash. no one explains a goddamn thing and they leave with the nicest car on the lot

#you need to tailor your arguments to people's existing values and priorities if you want to convince them #the flip side is that it's every bit as easy to tailor conservative arguments to convince a leftist audience #so don't get smug #you're not immune to this either <- prev extremely true

the aromanticism. it festers.
