#I Promise i believe...

ok game over thoughts on this game / nucks - generally a shitty game from the nucks let's be real. first 2 periods? ouch! specifics... - the powerplay looked godawful. nothing to say rlly here the pp has been mid for ages. but god - just rarely felt like the nucks were driving play. obviously they weren't able to get many shots off but sometimes in nucks games this season it's felt like that's because they're confident and able to hold onto the puck until they get a better one. this game it's more like they can't hold onto the puck long enough to set up their shots. - on that note i thought the forecheck (which i typically like) wasn't looking too hot. oilers were all over them in the offensive zone - if ian cole plays next game... - like earlier in the nucks playoff run, it does feel like the nucks are only rlly waking up when they Have to. and they're really good when they're on!! but like... they spend most of the game Not doing that - the ep40 linemates situation is straight up laughable at this point. how is this the state of our second line lmao - amending this next point with i think tocchet has been unbelievably good for this team in general they are not at this point without him blah blah blah. i think playoffs have made me more annoyed w a couple aspects of his systems that have long annoyed me... even though i love how good his forecheck is the dump and chase is just Not It to me. one thing abt me i hate a dump and chase based system... sorry. i also just think his system is so strong that in some cases it's stifling (this is good in some ways bad in others) . i think it's great that players have rlly bought into his systems and that he's instilled a lot more discipline in the team and in the use of his systems by the team. however i also think the rlly strict north-south style and general strictness of his systems is preventing certain players like ep40 from playing at their best (ie most creative). it's just... not a system that rewards that kinda play. and for the most part it works!! rlly well!! and we've seen from earlier in the season that ep40 can work within it pretty well. it just also sucks at times and sometimes i wonder if there's a way it can be modified to add more of that back into the game. esp with ep40 as a near-guaranteed franchise player for years to come... imo the team system does need to work at least kinda well with his style. that's not something that's a Fix now kinda thing but that i should hope there's some consideration for looking towards the future. or at least abt the linemates because Jesus. It's bad - with that being said ep40 didn't have a very good game lol - hronek is not that great and everyone has finally decided it's ok to discuss this fact - silovs is Good - that ending brother...

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

do you ever think that the ending of six hundred strike, actually added to the poseidon & athena beef? like i can just imagine them both in beds in apollo's olympus infirmary, just arguing with/at each other! meanwhile poor apollo is just tying to heal them both.

athena: *ranting* i've been odysseus' mentor/friend since he was a teenager! and he still didn't listen to me!

athena: i told him to put his emotions aside but noooooo, he had to let the cyclops live!

apollo: athen-

poseidon: are you forgetting he literally stabbed me? repeateDLY? WITH MY OWN TRIDENT?

apollo: poseid-

athena: *ignoring poseidon and continuing her rant* ruTHlesNEsS iS meRCy UpOn OUrseLVEs. isn't that what you said?!

poseidon: well yeah, BUT HOW WAS I TO EXPECT THAT SAD WET CAT OF A MAN WOULD BE FILLED WITH SOME FORM OF DIVINE RAGE?

apollo: please you two are gonna open your stitche-

athena: oh you deserved it. you literally showed the man his island before trapping him AND THEN you started THREATENING his wife and son? oh that was your final mistake.

poseidon: whatever! so much for you calling him a warrior of the mind. he's a monster!

athena: *wipes tear away* i know, im so proud.

apollo: *tired of their bickering & now glowing in anger* please for "dad's"sake will you two just shut up and let me heal you both?!

poseidon & athena: *shuts up immediately* o-ok

so rhaenyra starts s3 with a god complex, believing herself to be the prince that was promised from aegon the conqueror's dream... but hugh and ulf will betray her, mysaria will misunderstand her, coryls will undermine her, bartimos will underestimate her, daemon will abandon her, her people will turn against her and burn her castle and kill her dragon. and when everyone who accepted rhaenyra as queen rejects her, the only person left to love rhaenyra will be alicent, who never loved rhaenyra as queen but rhaenyra as a person ("she was the vision that sustained him [...] it was his love for her that kept him resolute in his choice of heir."). alicent, who abandoned her gods and duty to go to rhaenyra on dragonstone and appeal to the person beneath the crown ("i cast myself on the mercy of a friend who once loved me."). alicent, who's made a god of rhaenyra, not as queen, but as the girl she read with beneath the godswood ("come with me.").

If even acknowledging antisemitism within your community spaces is going to "distract from the cause," maybe that's because the foundation of your beliefs comes down to antisemitism. What you're doing is telling on yourself.

it's true! you can't make this stuff up! officially made my deposit, and its happening on the funny tv day for real. i've already made some progress toward the total doll hair amount i'll need (thank you endlessly), but if you want to help me not stress as much about not being able to work for six weeks, you can

get one of my comics (specifically oh huh, which is about gender stuff, but they're all free/PWYW)

pre-order one of the items from my top surgery collection (physical comic, stickers, that sort of thing)

buy me a coffee (or the pypl equivalent)

or if you can't do any of that, just sharing around my art helps as well :) thank you thank you thank you

They did Sevika so, so, so dirty this act. SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A FUCKING SPEAKING LINE PAST EPISODE 4. But I want everyone to know that this magnificent bitch turned up to negotiate for independence (or whatever the fuck that stupid montage scene was) wearing Silco's colours, with an eye motif on her serape.

Okay, but Elizabeth being an absolute savage girlboss isn't something that's talked about enough.

Love how you're spitting facts for our girly pop. 💪💪💪

TBH I go off the personality baby has, and gotta assume some of that sass is definitely Elizabeth

Very deeply annoyed by the fanon idea that Talia treated Jason like a pet or a tool when he was catatonic, because when you actually read lost days you can clearly see that Talia is literally the only person who looked at Jason while he was catatonic and still saw a person and treated him like a person while everyone else around her (Ra’s and the doctor she hired) was ready to dismiss Jason as an empty shell
