Well. Reporting live from the scene, the last time I was at this venue was Epik High and the queue for them was shorter... 😂

Bro, what?

Nobody expected this to last SEVENTEEN YEARS so fair enough, really. Although part of me did imagine that it might still be around in the far distant future, the subject of myths and speculation as to who or what was being commemorated here. This IS a place of honour, after all.

I managed to miss almost all instances of regular season handshake line in Heated Rivalry fic. But today I am bravely standing up to say that there is no matchup between Montreal, New York, Boston or Ottawa that will ever happen in the Cup final. Thank you for your attention.

Philosophical question: Do you consider a rare pair to be any pairing for which there is comparatively little fic? Or is it a pairing that's not amongst the most popular in its fandom, regardless of the overall numbers? Or is it a secret third thing that I did not mention?

Spoilers for TLG! They're gonna have to find a way to make the stupid horseman logo look verse because of their agenda of making all team logos top or bottom, I am DELIGHTED! #HeatedRivalry #GameChangers

Gen 10 !!!!!! #pokemon #pokemon30

I have only done the bare minimum of things I needed to do today and I am *done* with all books! Aaaah, so good! Now I need to do... a whole lotta things that aren't lying on my couch reading. 😅

I have finally gotten to TLG and now I don't want to stop reading until I'm done. What do you mean I have to pause for sleep? To get out of bed this morning? To make coff-- yeah okay, I'll pause for coffee. #HeatedRivalry #GameChangers

Heated Rivalry fans unfamiliar with concept hockey players might be gross

Five. Maybe I'm just not allowed to listen to music until I make any of them.

Ilya @ Troy: Have you considered homosexuality? Troy: That Shane Hollander guy is pretty fit. Ilya: Not that one. #GameChangers #HeatedRivalry

I feel strongly that the NHL does not exist in the Heated Rivalry universe, therefore no NHL player should ever show up in Heated Rivalry fic. However, Gritty exists in all universes, including ones with an MLH. Our very own reality was incomplete until Gritty showed up.

How is it already February 24th again!

FOSS Nerds: We are announcing today an exciting project, the Hurtsume Nexus, an AGPL fork of the closed source Torment Nexus

That pissy little face will never stop filling me with glee.

He thought about it.

This is an exceptional piece that perfectly captures the current bubble.

great time for an all time sports tweet

2026 basically

Quite some scenes during the women's team cross country qualifiers in Tesero. A dog got into the race and it looked incredible on the photo finish camera.

It's so funny how German hockey commentators do not have any superstitions. Game hasn't even started and they're giving their end result predictions. Wild. #olympics

Crawling ever forward, 3 down 3 to go with the Game Changer books.

I have four more excellent and very different vid ideas for #HeatedRivalry. Would be really cool if I made, like, one of those.

Letterboxd doing a list of greatest sports comedies and putting Tin Cup on it, one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Now I'm questioning your whole list. And then I reach the end and fucking Slapshot is on it but Goon isn't? The Mighty Ducks isn't? Come on. That is not a good list.

When I get just a little too warm under the covers:

Highlights from the first period 1) those USA dudes toppling over each other over while my commentator went "boing" 2) the German fans doing the Icelandic hu clap with some confused US fans sprinkled inbetween. As the game progressed highlights will grow slim for me, I need to enjoy this. #olympics

Watched a "here's what you missed" summary of the last few events at the #olympics and the commentator called the puck a "ball". So that's how that is going.

That Swiss-Czechia game is wild fun. #olympics

this transformation from "nice to meet you, sir!" to "your son calls ME daddy now" is jetfueling my morning. who needs coffee.

I have definitely already reached that point. 😂

The things people are offering up as "if you like Heated Rivalry," are all wild. If you liked Heated Rivalry, go to AO3's "pining while fucking" tag. You're welcome.

It's the sort of weather where I'm seeing people in ankle-length puffer jackets, I personally am not bothering with a winter coat, and this dude walking in front of me is in shorts and a t-shirt.

Namjoon when he knows someone at this table is about to say something ridiculous and / or provacative and he will have no choice but to continue adoring them forever and ever

From @taylorhaasepgh.bsky.social asking the team something they consider themselves an expert in. This three answer run is so, so funny to me.

Honestly might be me simply for one time posting something to bsky.app that was reposted 80 times. I don't think anybody who has ever been to that school has beat that level of recognition.

Alright, time to cheer on an old person chaperoning a gaggle of children on a field trip and also Brad Marchand is there (you can make this a short joke if you want). Sigh, my choices. #olympics

The ice-hockey commentator team has been a dude and a lady for several of the games (not all) and cynical old me thought this was specifically for the women's games. But no, she commentated for the first dudes game of the tournament! Nice! #olympics

What do you mean there's a new Delinquent Habits album??? What do you mean there was also one in 2017?!

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

I did not miss being annoyed with my team for being doofuses when I stopped watching hockey for 10 years. #olympics

You just need to air your grievances out loud and then randomly be awake for two hours in the middle of the night and presto: 2 books down, 4 to go.
