If Heated Rivalry left a hockey(-ish)-shaped hole in your life, if Hudcon at the Golden Globes isn’t enough for you, if you’re looking to replicate the drama, the jerseys, the intensity, and, well, the hockey vibes—may we offer you some NHL? The fandom has been here all along, and they’re out there liveblogging their faves’ way to the top. Here’s some of the fan art they’re making along the way.

EMERGENCY COMM | 1 OF 5 REMAINING

@anastasia285's Virtue-Class battleship was a lot of fun to try and translate to a shipgirl!! A major inspiration was Azure Lane, but we also had a long discussion on what parts of the design philosophy were and weren't to her liking, and how to implement certain elements of the ship as character features. :3

Justice.MGLD, an AI adapted from a template program named Marigold, was installed aboard the battleship *SDFS Justice* as part of a modernization effort by the Selenican Navy in order to address the ship's lackluster capabilities in modern void theatres. As the ship changed in accordance with evolving navy doctrine, Justice did, too; with a move towards missiles, improved armor characteristics, and more reserved uses of artillery defining her current tenure in combat and her punchy attitude. Her crew has frequently retuned her to match their perception of the ship, but she's also taken on a character of her own! Punky, cheerful, (and concerningly for the strategic branch,) irreverent when it comes to certain orders. Inexplicably, she seems to have picked up a Colonial tongue called 'finnish' during her operational period. Attempts to purge this anomaly from her model remain unsuccessful, but ongoing.
