So I was thinking about the whole “Omega Key In Smokescreen’s Internals” Thing and just

there’s no fucking way it didn’t hurt

Because like. This thing DEFINITELY wouldn’t be comfortable no matter how you put it in

so I went back to the episode to do some Calculations and scaling stuff to see just how big it was and

it wasn’t until I paid more attention to the exact spot where Knockout was scanning that I realized the Key had been put in at an angle

And where does that leave it?

SMOKESCREEN

ITS LITERALLY STABBING THROUGH HIS PELVIS AND INTO HIS LEG

AND KNOCKOUT JUST

REACHED IN AND TORE THE THING OUT

MAYBE ITS JUST ME BUT IM 99% SURE SMOKESCREEN’S BODY WASN'T BUILT WITH HOUSING AN OMEGA KEY IN MIND, SO WHO KNOWS WHAT TRION HAD TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY TO PUT THAT THING IN THERE AND IT BEING TORN OUT PROBABLY JUST FUCKED IT UP EVEN FURTHER

And that’s not even TOUCHING the fact that the Key was 1) a foreign body in his system, 2) put in during what was likey an emergency surgery type thing by a guy who didn’t know medicine, 3) really old and rusty with who knows how much unsanitary stuff on it, and 4) fucking BIG and POINTY

Its weird when people say you talk about disability/health stuff too much as if I’m not disabled and it’s not apart of my identity that also takes over my life. Like every moment of my life is effected by my disability so yeah I talk about my doctors appointment and how i feel. I talk about the new thing i got to help me. I talk about disability activism. I talk about so many things because there is rarely anything in my life that isn’t some how effected by my disability. Its apart of why its apart of my identity. I can;t separate it from myself. So yes i talk about it a lot because it is who i am.

honestly the one of the things that makes me the most sad about this hockey romance / booktok drama is that now so many hockey fans have a negative impression of hockey romances and sports romances. There are so, so many wonderful, queer romances out there that are doing wonderful, nuanced, and intentional things within the sports romance genre, and I hate that now people are looking down on them.

Here's some reasons that I love sports romances:

It’s a celebrity romance, but more of a niche celebrity romance. This isn’t a Hollywood super star that everyone in the world knows their name, BUT they often do have a dedicated fan base and are still in the public eye. It brings up really interesting discussions of fame and power and how much of yourself you keep private. So you get a lot of the good celebrity romance tropes and settings (like secret relationship, having to do interviews, traveling to new cities) but on a more niche and interesting scale

And bouncing off of that, with queer sports romances you get a lot of really interesting discussions of coming out, how you present your queerness to the world, how much of yourself is “owed” to the people around you vs yourself, which is very interesting when explored through a sports culture lense and I really enjoy the discussions of queer identity, culture, and community that come out of it. And particularly if it a romance between two players, there's a lot of really interesting queer nuances to explore

There are so many different pairings that can happen, but most of them kind of boil down to player/player, player/sports professional, player/normie, and each of these dynamics are interesting to me every time, especially when exploring teammate dynamics! And exploring how fame affects each of these things!

Found family! Your team is your family! And everyone has silly nicknames and rituals with each other and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy

With every romance, you pretty much know that it’s gonna end with a Happily Ever After, which is why we love the genre. But sometimes that can take the “surprise” out of a romance and its structure. Within sports romances, you don’t know how the game is going to go! They could win! They could lose! That affects the characters either way! And there’s been several sports romances that had me on the edge of my seat cause I genuinely had no idea which way the championship game was gonna go! I like that extra plot element to keep things interesting 

I also like it when you can tell the author is a big fan of their sport, and even if EYE don’t know anything about the sport, they’re generally good at writing things in a makes sense and makes the action interesting and keeps me hooked. It’s also just nice to step into the world the author loves!

Genuinely I just think that queer sports romances are doing so many interesting things, and have such interesting niches and nuances to the stories they’re telling! And they should not be looked down upon by hockey fans OR romance fans who have witnessed this booktok drama go down and now don’t want to touch hockey romances with a ten foot pole.

Here are some of the queer sports romances I recommend for anyone who wants to get into the genre:

I should be working leaf into my little universe somehow but I just. Don't know. I don't read the manga and don't plan to so I can't even use that version of her for characterisation or backstory or anything. I only like gameverse. In pokemas she's really cute and sweet but I'm not particularly attached to her so I haven't had any ideas for her yet. My singular idea so far was her and red as twins but their parents split and leaf went to live with dad while red stayed with mom.

why the fuck is it that some people cant seem to acknowledge that people can just... be disabled. not through any fault of their own, not because something "happened" to them, just because, you know, sometimes people have disabilities. like, come on

I had a dream the other night where dos updated one more time but it was just a final madara fight + epilogue written by some random wildbow-esque dude and sh*kako lost her memories, became a civilian, and married a man it was literally the “i hope hxh updates exactly one more tome and kurapika marries a woman” post come true

do you ever think smokescreen can’t sleep

that he’ll lie down, exhausted from a long day, safe in his room where no harm can get to him, the lights turned dark and everything quiet……

but then will just get this Prickle

that he’ll get this distinct, unshakable feeling there’s something Behind Him

so he sits up. Looks around. Maybe uses a flashlight to double check. But his room is just as empty as it always way.

he is safe here

he lies down

he closes his eyes

but then the feeling is back again, something behind him, something creeping, something that wasn’t there before that wants to hurt him-

but there is no one there

he is tired

he can’t sleep

But no matter how hard he looks or how many times he checks there is no one behind him

he is safe

he does not feel it

he is safe

it’s a lie

he is safe

there’s someone there

he is safe

he is not safe

he does not sleep

Remember, kids! Labor Day is a holiday meant to celebrate laborers / the working class, so don't forget to thank corporate employers for forcing their working class employees to come in on Corporate's day off /sarc

Love is the three boxes of KD and the cans of Yerba Mate in my cupboards, none of which I can eat or drink but all of which I see in the grocery store and go ‘oh, I should buy some so if my partner comes round they can have food!’
