it's the only place to do it.

there's something so sinister about hockey rpf being used for engagement bait when the national hockey league is so well known for its homophobia and intolerance that somehow in its 100+ year history there has never been one openly gay/out player on a major league hockey team. like 100 whole entire years have passed and not one single man felt safe enough to be himself. but sure every time the notifs slow down let's just whip some willmack out there into the public eye. that oughta do it. i'm sure this has been discussed before i think it's just even weirder in today's climate. like they (the league) are very much using these guys for marketing regardless of what personal feelings they may have on the matter. like the second you sign that contract not only does the nhl own your body but they also own the public narrative about your sexuality and relationships. and they're going to get everyone else in on the joke because they want views/clicks. really weird. what happened to reasonable expectations of privacy. what happened to boundaries. it is literally statistically impossible that there should be zero (0) gay players in your league's entire history + current roster and yet no man has lived his truth for fear of backlash. don't worry y'all it's 2026 we love the gays look at all the colorful tape on our sticks. you freaks and weirdos are totally welcome here. but ☝️ remember that being gay is for other people, and for hockey players it's only okay if it's a joke and/or being flouted for engagement. super awesome great work everyone. let's hit the showers

i have like half the story of the hprf ao3 writer drama whats her username i need to judge her properly

"Modern retelling" and it's a blatant misinterpretation of the original text

being a black sails fan means that your brain will randomly supply BUT IT ISN’T TRUE!!!!!! WE CAN PROVE THAT IT ISN’T TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in any number of comparable and incomparable situations

zero stars for nolan because odysseus, on his journey home to ithaca, was NOT visited by a ghost that tells him that once he reaches his home, once he slays all his enemies and sets his house in order he must do one last thing before he can rest. the ghost does NOT tell him to pick up an oar, walk inland, keep walking, until somebody mistakes that oar for a shovel. for that would be the place that no man has ever been troubled by the sea. and that's where he'd find peace.

we are in dark dark times in online hockey fandom like william nylander has not been cosplaying as a 70s gay porn star for years to be put in the bottom tier of the gay porn potential ranking

you have to build the life you so desperately want btw. no one will do it for you

Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.

something i adore about hadestown is that it still meant something, y'know what i mean? like okay, no orpheus's song did not convince hades to give up his empire. hades' love for persephone isn't enough to deconstruct the machine he's built and has convinced himself that he needs in order to protect what he has. but he let them go. he saw the love eurydice and orpheus had for one another and it convinced him to let them try. orpheus may have turned around but they still walked, they almost made it. doubt set it but they were right there. that's further than anyone else can say. nobody else had made it that far. who's to say someone else can't make it a few steps further? persephone is able to leave the underworld and go home again when she needs to. spring has come again, if we're lucky autumn just might too. will this change be permanent? we don't know. but it's something. it doesn't knock down the wall but it's one brick out of it. and that means something. it wasn't all for nothing. it's a crack in the wall. there's a reason we keep singing this old song.
