@eternalskgo sukuna most of us have a crush on gojo you're not special

@AtlasPlus_ i love that art so much and the last one kind of reminds me monk gyatso + the bottom beard part

This is the way Aang should’ve aged. Not that weird ass chin strap they gave him in Korra

@nb4frogduo @fujobritta @ummrys i recognized which one you were talking about immediately omg, it's this one archiveofourown.org/works/81167971 i love it so much !!

@fujobritta @ummrys @pockylix i read one where shane scored a goalie goal without actually being a goalie

not enough heated rivalry fanfics are using hockey un-realism to their advantage. cuz if ur committing to inaccuracy then there's a (fake) rule many are overlooking... get them to the sixth overtime. drop that second puck!!!!

@lobsterbooty @buckbuckg0ose Yeah that's fine! I think we'll just have to agree to disagree 😭

@pockylix @buckbuckg0ose Especially since he goes through a litany of his faults on more than one occasion and I just don’t need him to explicitly think “well at least I never said a racial slurs” to assume he didn’t. Again, clearly just not on the same wavelength here.

Eric Bennett’s perspective of Troy in CG suggests people don’t like Troy because of his association with Dallas and not because of actual behavior. Eric also notices Troy’s discomfort with Dallas’s homophobia and is clued in that Troy isn’t happy being friends with Dallas.

@ummrys okay cool thanks 🥰

@pockylix but this is like the most popular difficult trick shot. a goalie goal (for wyatt or another goalie) would be another hard and dramatic but reasonable one. idk any more unfortunately my technical knowledge of hockey is limited

@lobsterbooty @buckbuckg0ose I'm aware he's a romance novel protaganist but it's interesting to think about what goes unsaid or beyond the constraints of the genre - just bc in the book he wasn't saying racial slurs it doesn't mean it wouldn't fit the circumstances if not on the page itself.

@pockylix @buckbuckg0ose he’s also a romance novel protagonist so I feel pretty confident saying that he wasn’t using racial slurs because the author would know those would be considered unforgivable by the audience

@lobsterbooty @buckbuckg0ose is it explicitly addressed if he was racist or not? i really didn't remember rr ever bringing that up at all since that's not something she seems to care about, but i'll take your word for it! i'll have to find the time to reread

@pockylix @buckbuckg0ose I think a lot of things you’re saying are left up for debate are pretty clear in Troy’s book (which obviously you don’t have to do if you don’t want to lol but the character on the page is pretty explicitly laid out).

@lobsterbooty @buckbuckg0ose I did! Admittedly it was a while ago and I haven't had time to reread it so I might be misremembering, which is why I said not to quote me 😭

@pockylix @buckbuckg0ose have you read his book?

@fujoconnor i don't think canon would support shane being disgusted by troy, but i think it's interesting to think about if rr had expanded on troy's past and how shane could've related to it. unfortunately since rr did zero research and mostly doesn't care shane is asian it's unlikely lol

“shane HATES troy and is disgusted that ilya is friends with him because troy used to torment him and call him slurs directly to his face” meanwhile shane 😭

@buckbuckg0ose the white part was more referencing the fact that, as a white man, he would not be the target of racist remarks and wouldn't be a good witness as to whether or not troy is racist

@pockylix Idk what him being white has to do with observing Troy using homophobic slurs. His best friend is Scott also so I think he’d be aware of how Scott is being treated.

@lobsterbooty @buckbuckg0ose

@pockylix @buckbuckg0ose Troy has his own book! I think we get a clear idea of what he was doing and saying in that book when we’re inside his head. He’s not pulling punches on himself in his internal monologue (this is also a romance series so yeah, he’s “better” than the real version would be)

No matter what happens on May 2nd I will never stop shipping bkdk bc I am not WEAK

our dream #bkdk

this comic i think???? still unfinished lmfao #bkdk

@transshollander disclaimer bc there's been some confusion: au where why troy moved isn't known

@transshollander Okay but this made me think of a story idea - Shane admits that he considered requesting a trade earlier to Ottawa then changed his mind when he saw Troy get sent there, bc if even Toronto didn’t want him then how bad must he have been in the locker room?

Oh I dig this take

@Lunarobase @djobuddie huh i thought it was decently clear with "story idea" but i'll add a disclaimer under it i guess thanks

@pockylix @djobuddie It was kinda unclear cause you're answering something canon-compliant (which acknowledges Troy's redemption arc) with a complete AU without stating it, so it sounds like you're also trying to prompt something canon compliant.

Yeah so they traded Troy away because he called out Dallas for being a rapist. Everyone (including Shane) knows that Troy called him out and then got traded. It had nothing to do with how "bad" Troy was in the locker room. In fact, Toronto pretty publicly sided with Dallas.

@fujoconnor i think it's interesting in the parts of the fandom that can handle nuance but so much of the larger fandom is so black and white it can be hard to read sometimes

I’m ngl I feel like so much of this giant shift on troy is because jacob started to talk about his character more wrt s2 and people have convinced themselves that he is a direct threat to shane/hollanov’s screen time

@veIvetspice every his time i see this video his smug little face pisses me off 😭

They literally did this
