ok so i was doing some digging through one of my top 5 favorite websites [along with wikipedia, imdb, etc], across the timeline because sometime in the past 48 hours i decided i wanted to find out more about free throws contributing to scoring in the top scorers in the league. here is what i found.
of the top 15 all time regular season leading scorers [this is a weird one bc people say all time leading scorer etc and those stats don't include all games. just regular season. for example dt has over 12k if you count playoffs] top 15 is over 6000 points
Tamika Catchings has the highest percent of free throws as total points [27.15%]
DeWanna Bonner comes in second at an even 25%
Sue Bird is the lowest with 12.39%, followed by Seimone Augustus at 13.36
everyone else in the top 15 is between 23.69 [dt] and 17.13 [Candice dupree]
Diana Taurasi has the highest FT % at 87.0319, Lisa Leslie has the lowest at 69.5059
DT has the most makes and the most attempts [by a lot] but Lisa is 4th in attempts and 6th in makes
if you expand the list to the top 26 scorers [over 5000 points]
Jewell Loyd is beating Brittney Griner by 14 points, but has a free throw % of 88 vs BG's 79. they have attempted 1443 and 1439 free throws respectively
if you increase BG's career ft% to Jewell's make rate, she would be ahead of Jewell in career points
only becky hammon [89.6813] and Jewell Loyd have a higher ft % than DT
of the top 10 all time leading scorers [this is tangential but i noticed it so]
3 have been drafted by the merc [DT, DB, Cappie]
4 have won a championship with the merc [+ Candice Dupree]
5 have played for the merc [+Tina Charles]
other fun fact:
of the top 26 scorers, DT has played in some capacity - college, usa basketball, merc, overseas [excluding all star] - with all but 2 of them:
becky hammon
Katie Douglas
#i just find this stuff interesting#sorry about the sig figs i know they are important#wnba#phoenix mercury#funnily enough on the free throws every team has a tech shooter#so the people not on the merc have like a .1% greater chance to shoot a ft just by playing the merc at any given time#obviously i've not done the math on that one#if hockey has a website as comprehensive as across the time line do let me know#i could literally entertain myself for days just going back and forth between this and wiki pedia#i would say hours but i've literally already done that#for example today#fun fact[s] is figuratively my middle name

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".
[plain-text version of this post can be found under the cut]
Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"
And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".
Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.
At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.
So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!
Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!
Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!
Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

#hlep#original#mental health#my sympathies and empathies to anyone who has to rely on this kind of hlep to get what they need.#the people in my life who most need to see this post are my family but even if they did I sincerely doubt they would internalize it#i've tried to break thru to them so many times it makes my head hurt. so i am focusing on boundaries and on finding other forms of support#and this thing i learned today helps me validate those boundaries. the example with the milk was from my therapist.#the example with the towing company was a real thing that happened with my parents a few months ago while I was age 28. 28!#a full adult age! it is so infantilizing as a disabled adult to seek assistance and support from ableist parents.#they were real mad i was mad tho. and the spoons i spent trying to explain it were only the latest in a long line of#huge family-related spoon expenditures. distance and the ability to enforce boundaries helps. haven't talked to sisters for literally the#longest period of my whole life. people really believe that if they love you and try to help you they can do no wrong.#and those people are NOT great allies to the chronically sick folks in their lives.#you can adore someone and still fuck up and hurt them so bad. will your pride refuse to accept what you've done and lash out instead?#or will you have courage and be kind? will you learn and grow? all of us have prejudices and practices we are not yet aware of.#no one is pure. but will you be kind? will you be a good friend? will you grow? i hope i grow. i hope i always make the choice to grow.#i hope with every year i age i get better and better at making people feel the opposite of how my family's ableism has made me feel#i will see them seen and hear them heard and smile at their smiles. make them feel smart and held and strong.#just like i do now but even better! i am always learning better ways to be kind so i don't see why i would stop

Going to make a proper promo post later, but wanted to give a quick heads-up that I'm likely going to be opening my Vgen for character art commissions sometime in the next few days!
If you follow my page over there it should notify you when slots open (^^)/
🍁 vgen.co/ABDillustrates
#artists on tumblr#abd illustrates#daily dork#commissions#I've been slowly getting my Vgen page set up for a hot minute#But I've had a couple of asks about comms recently and realized the top of a new month would be as good a time as any!#also it looks a bit barren atm but thats cause i didnt know how to publish the stuff in my example portfolio#without accidentally launching as available for hire before i was actually ready to roll sdfgkjsdfs#in any case! Going to be offering manga style or full color character art slots for up to 2 characters per piece (^^)/#more details on the way hopefully later today?? or tomoz

One of the many Zionist militias who built their settlements on the blood of Palestinians. They never had to answer for their crimes. Instead they were rewarded for it.
Looking at this old man who laughs when asked "how many did you kill" and can recounts the number of his bullets better, should be mandatory for everyone talking about Palestine. No matter what where they stand, they should watch it.
Watch and tell me you do not want to take a shower afterwards.
#anti zionism#palestine#free palestine#He is not even the worst#but he is one example of many too many that exist till today#I am too damn angry so im gonna try to speak slowly and refrain from unleashing in the tags#gaza under attack#i stand with palestine

the mourn watch background gives you such a GIFT in having other characters notice and call out on-screen that rook code switches like a motherfucker. the whiplash of hearing my snarky 'heeey I'm just a little guy! :>' funnyman rook speak the heightened ritualized phrases of the mourn watch with perfect seriousness and gravity completely naturally and/or break into an academic tone that can keep up with emmrich at the drop of a hat never stops giving me such endless delight. truly their real mind is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside some hideous mourn watch casual wear
#that last one was just for comedic purposes rye would NEVER wear the mourn watch casual wear willingly#he hated the new livery so much he hoarded every pair of the older watcher robes he could hunt down so they'd tide him over#in the hopes that the next uniform design would be less awful. he is a fancyboy at heart. he should be wearing so many earrings#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#A Watcher's work is never done#rye's whole deal is half built on the feeling of 'we've had a lot of fun here today folks. but at the end of the day I have given my oath#and I mean to fulfil it. so either help me do that or get out of my fucking way' that sort of naturally rises out of this contrast#and everyone who has for a moment doubted his complete seriousness and sincerity about it so far has ended up much deeper#than six feet under by the end of it all haha#I've found I've actually been able to build a really good sense of character here (with some reloading to see different options#to be sure lol I am a control freak) -- mixing in a stoic response in certain situations for example can inform so much with so little#and the contrast works out to be so much greater.#just this sense of a layer of levity and awkwardness on top of an immense and unflinching seriousness#that sometimes shines through. it's uh. it's been really good for me

Underrated reason why Lyanna as the KotLT just works is because it follows a pattern of deconstruction re the concept of knightly chivalry and honor, from Lyanna herself to her son 15yrs+ later. Lyanna as the KotLT is a gender-swapped version of the ‘knight rescues a helpless maiden from raucous bullies’ trope, but grrm of course puts his spin on it because one Lyanna is not even a knight to begin with and two, she’s a girl. Then knight!Lyanna fights the bullies which is again an adaptation of another trope: the ‘mysterious knight-errant enters the joust and wins then dips’, which is interesting because these types of knights sometimes fall into the black knight trope. And the black knight is, more often than not, not the hero. But the main reason why this is so interesting is Jon. Lyanna “cosplays” a black knight, but her son Jon later becomes an actual black knight. Jon then repeats his mother’s actions by defending Sam in AGoT, which is another subversion of the aforementioned ‘knight rescues a helpless maiden trope’ because the helpless maiden in this case is a helpless…lad…Though Jon and Lyanna acting as agents outside the bounds of knighthood (Lyanna being a northern woman and Jon being a member of the NW) puts them more in line with the traditional black knight (who is usually an anti-hero/villain), the actual essence of their actions puts them closer to the more valiant and honorable white knight according to tradition.
#asoiaf#in my arthuriana feels today 😃#was gonna add that this trope repeats itself with jaime-brienne which I guess is the more traditional romantic version??#and brienne looking for sansa as a subversion of the trope#does that count?#anyway this knight errant trope continues when rhaegar-the valiant prince/evil dragon-kidnaps/rescues the maiden#so another performance of romance and chivalry#and that example ALSO leads to jon lmao because it becomes the ultimate manifestation#of the valiant knight/prince/hero trope which is also a deconstruction because jon doesn’t look like it outwardly#or whatever idk hope that makes sense#jon snow#lyanna stark#valyrianscrolls#my stuff

It's very, very interesting to me....
Tower of Dawn (September 5, 2017) and A Court of War and Ruin (May 2, 2017) were released in the same year, only months apart. So I don't think it's far-fetched to believe that there was an overlap in writing, plotting, and planning these books. When you really think about it, you can see many parallels that likely influenced each other.
Specifically Chaol/Yrene and Elain/Lucien.
Both books bring to light:
A soft FMC that does not want to be a warrior or wield a sword
A MMC that is dealing with feelings of guilt and worthlessness
"The world needs more healers." / "I think the world needs more gardens. "
Yrene's healing is a form of light / Lucien's parentage to the Day Court HL
A MMC that has been dealing with issues behind the scenes, separate from the main cast, but that significant work is revealed at a later time
FMCs that are living in a place they call home but aren't truly home
FMCs that try to avoid/maintain distance from the MMC due to prejudices in their heart that are related to the MMC but not directly caused by them (Chaol's identity vs Lucien's bond)
Both encompass a love story that is filled with tension, healing, and growth from both the male and female
And what I also take away from this...
SJM surprised her readers with ToD. Chaol was not mentioned at all in Empire of Storms, but she had always planned to bring him back into the story.
Could this have influenced the way she wrote Elucien in ACOWAR? I think so. She has put their relationship/development on the back burner since that book. There are clear parallels between the two ships, and I wouldn't be surprised if Chaolrene foreshadows a similar path for Elucien.
In terms of what their book will be like....but also how their book will come to be...
Meaning that just because Elain/Lucien were largely missing from ACOSF/HOFAS, she is likely taking her inspiration from ToD (which she was writing when she was in peak Elucien mode in ACOWAR)...and has been intentionally planning the timing of their story.
And just like she did with Chaol/Yrene, she'll pull them back into the story when you least expect it. After everything with Nesta/Az/Crossover....I think this means in this next book.
#elucien meta#elucien#pro elucien#acowar#acotar 6#acotar predictions#i really believe with my whole heart elucien is next#i just wanted to share something i realized today that deepened that belief#chaol x yrene#tower of dawn#sjm told us the plane taxi metaphor remember#tod is the perfect example of that#throne of glass#tog x acotar#elain archeron#pro elain archeron#pro lucien vanserra#lucien vanserra

My favorite genre of lestappen has got to be them in the conference room after a top 3, Max says something funny/unhinged/cunty and Charles is just sitting there all smug like 😏😍😇. You know the face.
