honestly i think i blame mikkos agent the most. i saw the dnvr article and it seems like the agent was the one to screw thing up by wanting drai money for mikko. anyways im mikko fan before im avs fan. and while it feels awful im just gonna keep supporting mikko. at least i already liked canes and now i hope hell sign and have success there.
yeah i dunno, his agent was just doing his jobā get the best deal possible for his clients. And it's definitely possible he never communicated Mikko's willingness to take a discount and his desire to stay. But we do know that Mikko, Nate, Cale, the entire team, Hall, Necas, and Drury we're all completely blindsided by this trade. Everyone who got moved had maybe hours of notice instead of the days that would've helped them prepare.
Chicago's GM was coming to Colorado games for that entire homestretch. They had plenty of time to let Mikko know, and I don't think they did because he was not the only party to be caught off guard by this. And Chris McFarland has a track record of doing this, EJ thought he would retire an Av. Bo came to the arena to play and got sent home 30 minutes before a game started because he was getting traded. This is just what general managers do in the NHL it seems. And again, the only party that benefits from us believing they gave Mikko plenty of time to sign a contract and gave him a "fair" deal is the Avalanche front office.
Everyone's saying Mikko just wants to look like a good guy here but, uh, he doesn't need to? He's going to get paid one way or another. Whether fans like him is completely irrelevant. How many shithead's are in the league? At least one already plays for the avs! Carolina has already explicitly stated their willingness to pay him whatever he wants and their desire to build the team around him. So why would he spend time lying? Especially when his story matches Nate's, and Cale's, and Hall's, and Necas', and Drury's. Either way, blame his agent, blame the front office, Mikko got screwed over imo.
And yeah, I am biased and honestly I am going to take the person, Mikko Rantanen, over the business, The Colorado Avalanche.
I am still an avs fan, but I was definitely a bigger Mikko fan. Like I'm not going to be checking their twitter or TikTok every day bc I only did that so I could get Mikko content akfkjfkfkfl. I'm still going to watch games bc Cale and Rosco and my beautiful mayor of Denver š«¶š«¶š«¶ but, im also going to be watching canes games and I hope he resigns and gets a million hattys and finally gets the recognition he's earned from the league

Plot Twists & Plagiarism
So, I was talking with some people in my discord *cough* You should join and come talk about Sterek with us. *cough* and realized that I had some feelings that I wanted to share. I'm just copying this from what I posted there, bc I don't have the brainpower to better adjust it for tumblr: I was talking to my husband about how conflicted I feel about being a writer/about the way stuff is viewed within media as 'plagiarism' or 'stealing.' And Furthermore, how that view interacts with the recent issue we've been seeing within media re: Random Plot twists for the sake of "The shock factor."
I know that it's been a common idea/theme that people within the TW fandom (and I know this occurs in lots of big fandoms, that's part of my point) believe that things from fic or fic writers were seen by TW creators and stolen to be used for the show, without giving the Original writers/fans any credit. And I'm not trying to say that they're explicitly wrong. There's no proof either way, and it IS entirely possible that that's occurring. I think SPN is the one people think of the most, because they had an entire episode about SPN cons and used a ton of stuff from the fandom to do with ships and costume choices and headcanons without really acknowledging that they took those ideas from fans who had already created it, which left a lot of fans feeling cheated and Outright made fun of.
So, again, I'm not saying that people who believe that are Wrong, and I'm not saying that it isn't something that's actually happened before.
But.
With recent superhero movies/shows/MCU stuff, people have gotten Super upset lately because of random plot twists that got thrown in the end. I'm not gonna list them because A) i don't watch that shit so i don't know many and B) they're from the end, so they'd probably be spoilers for people. But its a valid issue.
It's incredibly frustrating as a reader to follow a show's plotline and themes and arcs, only to have everything Obliterated in the last episode or two because the creators wanted to be 'original.'
But I get why they do that?
As a writer, even just a fic writer, when I see people headcanon things or point out really obscure meta that I Already HC'd or thought about and either have a WIP about or was going to create a WIP about it, sometimes I get fucking scared.
Because of accusations like I first described. Because even if I already thought of it, if I didn't say it FIRST, but then try to present it as something from my own head, there's fear that someone will accuse me of stealing an idea from another fan.
We talk about how having a plotline that people can guess the ending to doesn't always mean it's bad, it means it makes sense. But then, if we guess the ending, and accuse people of stealing the idea when they DO use that ending, of COURSE they're going to start throwing in fucking plot twists out of the blue, because they want to avoid getting told that they took the idea from someone else.
And I know that some of the stuff is Really specific, but it's also REALLY logical. This is a show with millions and millions of fans, and millions of fics and blog posts and meta ideas. SOMEONE is going to guess the right thing eventually. That doesn't necessarily mean that it was stolen by the show, it means that fan Happened to guess it.
Jeff Davis told fans a lot earlier on that Stiles' name was polish, and hard to pronounce, which is why so many fics had about a billion polish names for him. One of them just happened to be right. It's a fitting name, since it means "sword of glory" and that's dramatic as fuck, just like some of the other names used.
Stiles' jeep being called roscoe is a fan thing, it was never confirmed within canon, even though I think some of the actors said that they liked the name. The fact that it belonged to his mom makes sense because it's an old car, he's SUPER protective of it, and his mom died when he was young. It's the same reason people guess that the Camaro was Laura's or that Derek's jacket was his dad's.
And while it does seem suspicious that the show had a storyline that'd been written about before...it's been written about because it's a Very Popular storyline. Tons of shows, especially ones dealing with magic like TW do the plotline of someone being completely forgotten and having that One Person who remembers them bc True Love or bc Family. I know Stargate has an episode on it, and I'm pretty sure Buffy did too (and davis said buffy was part of his inspiration for the show). So did Charmed. And since TW is established as a show that pulls from a bunch of real, often celtic/nordic myths, using the ghost riders Also makes sense. Even having Lydia be the one to remember him makes sense because she was framed as a love interest for Stiles since the start of TW, even if we weren't fans of it/it wasn't done well.
Again, I'm really not trying to say that people who believe it was taken from fans are Definitely wrong. I won't pretend that there haven't been instances where it Really Did Happen with other shows/media bc it HAS, and TW fans have every right to be suspicious of it.
But I personally am torn, because while I find it incredibly frustrating when we get stupid plot twists out of the blue, I also have the urge to do that with my own FICS bc I saw someone randomly guess the ending/plot point and I'm terrified that if I continue to write it the way I had planned, I'll get accused of stealing the idea from them. We can't simultaneously ask writers/creators to give us logical/reasonable plotlines, and then accuse them of stealing them when they do and we randomly guess what was going to happen.

Iām sure you know by now that Buster Keaton started his movie career a century ago, in New York City in 1917. There have been ā and probably will be ā several projectsĀ commemorating this special anniversary given Keaton is one of the greatest talents to ever appear on screen. I want to give a shout out to one of those celebrations,Ā The Third Annual Buster Keaton BlogathonĀ hosted by Silent-Ology a few weeks ago. Youāll find terrific entries on all things Buster there so be sure to visit. I had all intentions of submitting this entry to that event, but life interfered.
When I learned about the Silent-Ology Buster Keaton celebration I decided to watch three of Busterās short subjects, rather than a feature because I watch the shorts less often. I meanā¦not that I go around watching his shorts. Umā¦anyway, of all the possible entries to choose from ā and Keaton made a lot of shorts ā I went with two Iāve enjoyed immensely in the past and one Iād never seen in hopes of encouraging all of you to give them a look. So here goesā¦three cheers for our Buster!
Ā The CookĀ (1918) ā Roscoe Arbuckle, director
The first cheer goes to The Cook,Ā the last film starring Buster Keaton released in 1918, his second year in movies. This is one of the many shorts Keaton made withĀ friend and mentor, Roscoe āFattyā Arbuckle whoād began his own career in 1909. Arbuckle was the first star in America to systematically direct his own films from 1914 forward and in 1920 became the first actor to be paid $1 million a year with a contract he signed with Paramount Pictures. Needless to say, Roscoe played a big role in helping Keaton fully develop his own genius, a talent yet unequaled. Arbuckle was no slouch in the funny department, however, and itās important people know that given the notoriety he is (sadly) best remembered for today.
InĀ The CookĀ Roscoe Arbuckle plays the title character, a short order cook to Buster Keatonās assistant chef/head waiter. Arbuckle directed, wrote and stars in this gem of a short, which was thought lost for decades until its discovery in 1998. Also inĀ The CookĀ are Al St. John, Alice Lake, Glen Cavender and Luke the Dog.
Arbuckle, Luke the Dog and Keaton in THE COOK
The premise ofĀ The CookĀ entails little more than Iāve already mentioned, but as far as a vehicle to spotlight the physical prowess of both Arbuckle and Keaton itās tops. The two exhibit extraordinary juggling abilities as they maneuver the orders in the kitchen. Some of the magic comes by way of perfectly orchestrated camera trickery, but itās supremely entertaining fare.
As the story progresses, the cook and the waiter are merrily doing their jobs with dancersā precision when things start going awry. Distracted by the music the bandās playing all hell breaks loose as the cook and the waiter join in the festivities with full-blown dance routines that result in havoc throughout the restaurant.
There is aĀ lot to enjoy in Arbuckleās kitchen. I am particularly partial to a running gag where the same hot liquid serves as coffee, soup and dressing for all manner of dishes. ArbuckleĀ also manages to pull all sorts of different food from the same vat. Buster in turn is enjoyable as a ladies man in several instances although his efforts are hilariously catastrophic. In other words, if you want 20 minutes of silent fun delivered by two masters you canāt go wrong withĀ The Cook.
Ā One WeekĀ (1920) ā Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton, directors
The second cheer goes to 19 minutes of unadulterated fun, rather than 20.Ā One WeekĀ is one of my favorite Buster Keaton shorts, his first effort afterĀ his work with Arbuckle concluded. This movie is testament to BusterāsĀ extraordinary physical talent and the sweetness that accompanied it. KeatonĀ co-wrote and co-directedĀ One WeekĀ with Edward F. Cline, but itās Busterās brand of charm that you get from start to finish.
The premise ofĀ One WeekĀ is simple. A newly married couple is given a vacant lot and a house as wedding gifts from the groomās uncle. The problem is that the house has to be built from scratch, by the numbers, if you will. Itās sort of like Ikea furniture would have been in 1920. Buster, who plays The Groom (Buster), is sure heāll have no problem putting the pieces together given the straight forward directions available in the box. Exceptā¦that the jilted ex-boyfriend of The Bride (Sybil Seely) re-labelsĀ the pieces to get back at the couple for marrying. The outcome is pure silent bliss.
I had the good fortune of watchingĀ One WeekĀ at Graumanās Chinese Theater as part of the last nightās program when I attended my first Turner Classic Movie Film Festival in 2013.Ā One WeekĀ was followed by BusterāsĀ The GeneralĀ and I couldnāt tell you which I enjoyed more. Although the short doesnāt have the powerhouse, signature Buster Keaton physical attributes the longer movie exhibits, the special effects are charming and quite impressive with plenty of pratfalls to go around. I call them āspecial effects,ā but theyāre really stunts, which were done with a full-house and sets, not miniatures as one would think. The precision it took to make a few of these stunts come off without a hitch is astounding to think about.
One WeekĀ is the one I usually recommend to people who have not seen a Buster Keaton movie before because it has heartwarming qualities as well as his special brand of comedy. The simplicity of the plot lets Buster newbies enjoy the magic while Keaton aficionados stare in wonder at the details that surface during repeated viewings. My mother laughed heartily when The Groom bolts his car to the house in hopes of pulling it over the train tracks and again when she saw a hand come over the camera when The BrideĀ is bathing.
At least a fewĀ accolades for One WeekĀ must go to Sybil Seely who at 18 years of age (when she made the film) is a perfect match for our star. Seely starred in 18 movies in her short, 5-year career several of which she made with Buster. Itās really too bad she made so few films because hers was a substantialĀ talent as well. Seely retired from films in 1922 after marrying and died in 1984 at the age of 84.
Ā The PlayhouseĀ (1921) ā Edward F. Cline and Buster Keaton, directors
I chose to includeĀ The Playhouse in this postĀ because Iād never seen it, but it turned out to be the loudest cheer I have to offer. Well, in the sense that I think itās an astounding piece of filmmaking. In this vehicle Keaton plays multiple Keatons in a series of sketches in a playhouse. WhileĀ The PlayhouseĀ falls short in the traditional, acrobatic Keaton stunts we know and love, there is a lotĀ here thatās new as far as gags go. The concept ofĀ The PlayhouseĀ came about after Buster busted his ankle during the filming of another short. Worried about not missing his monthly release schedule, Keaton conceived of this movie in which the laughs come by several other means other than pratfalls. The result is as innovative a movieĀ as Iāve ever seen.
Several Keatons can be seen on cameraĀ at once thanks to nifty trick photography. While this is perhaps a fairly routine gimmick, the fact that it is done soĀ seamlessly in 1921 is a great accomplishment. Buster also plays a variety of characters inĀ The Playhouse.Ā He isĀ every member of the orchestra, several members of the audience of all genders and ages, he is a monkey, the leading act and the stagehand to name a few.Ā The PlayhouseĀ is essentially separated into two distinct storiesĀ after we find out the first half is but a dream. In short, this is a terrific vehicle for all to be reminded that Buster had quite the vast actingĀ talent, which is often overlooked.
With the completion of The PlayhouseĀ Buster Keaton fulfilled his original 8-picture contract with Joseph Schenck. The movieĀ was such a hit that he was immediately signed for another dozen movies.
Before I go, a little side note ā My mother stayed with me for a month during which time we watched several silent movies together. Silents are perfect for people of all languages for obvious reasons and my mom enjoys them immensely. As you may know she doesnāt speak English and these vehicles allow me more time to actually watch the movies with less translating interruptions. In any case, my momās a big Charlie Chaplin fan having seen many of his movies in her youth in Cuba. I was quite surprised to learn, however, that she was not familiar with either Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd. Sheād never even heard of them. I find that so interesting. And sad. You can bet Iāll be doing a little research to find out why Keaton and Lloyd movies may not have made it to her small home town. If you know anything about the travels of Keaton and Lloyd movies versus the travels of Chaplin outings leave me a comment below. Thanks!
Three Cheers for BusterĀ Keaton I'm sure you know by now that Buster Keaton started his movie career a century ago, in New York City in 1917.

inspired by @onadarklingplain 's 'Albon Pet Primer'
Sir Lewis Hamiltion has a dog, his dog is the goodest boy in the world, and I know too much about his dog so now you must suffer with this knowledge as well enjoy:
Lewis adopted Roscoe, a English bulldog, from an online adoption agency in 2013.Roscoe is a purebred bulldog with both his mom and dad being show dogs. Roscoe's name was chosen because Lewis thought it but Crofty calling Nico āRoscoeā at the 2016 Chinese Grand Prix makes me have my doubts. Lewis later adopted Coco, a female bulldog. Cocoās breeder was originally going to put her down due to how expensive her health conditions, mostly likely a heart condition, were but Lewis stepped in. If you are trying to tell Coco and Roscoe apart in photos, Coco has a wider white stripe on her head. It is widest around the top of her head. Roscoe has more wrinkles and a brown spot on his snout and his strip ends at the top of his head and a new one starts off center in the back of his head. Cocoās fang teeth are also out more often compared to Roscoe's little teeth and she is a lighter color than Roscoe. Lewis expressed that he adopted the dog because his family has always had dogs, mostly labradors, but he said he always wanted an English bulldog. Coco lived till June 2020 when she passed in the night. Lewis and Roscoe were with her. His mom has five dogs! Both Roscoe and Coco have passports so they can travel with Lewis. Lewis was also granted special permission from Bernie Ecclestone to bring the dogs to the padlock (I assume Charles will ask Domenicali to bring Leo to the Padlock).Ā
Lewis brought a jet to fly with the dogs which he then sold in 2019. Roscoe is good with traveling due to his love of napping. In his first trip with Lewis he slept through most of the flight waking up to go to the bathroom and to make Lewis put him in his lap. Lewis followed Roscoe's command, sleeping with Roscoe in his lap like āa baby.ā Lewis said, āRoscoe is the best travel pet, he just sleeps with you.ā As Roscoe is getting older, Lewis has made the decision to travel less with him, as the time zones were getting hard on him. While Lewis is racing, Roscoe stays in Los Angeles, California with dog trainer Kirstin McMillan (adventuresindogtraining on instagram). Lewis says he gets pictures of Roscoe everyday and checks in on him. Roscoe also attends a dog park or āLos Angeles' first canine social clubā as stated on their website called āDog PPLā in Santa Monica. It is about $120 a month for one dog.Ā Ā
Not only is Roscoe Lewisās son but also his best friend. Lewis talked about his instant connection when they first met. Roscoe gets sad when Lewis leaves and happy when he returns. Lewis says, āThen I get the Frisbee and play with him, and thatās, for me, the biggest highlight ā the unconditional love you get from a pet like that.ā Roscoe loves quad bikes. In one interview, Lewis said itās because heās lazy so he likes being driven around. However, I think itās because he has taken after his dad and wants to race. Roscoe also loves frisbee and his ball; it seems like he enjoys fetching and chasing after things, like chasing other cars downā¦ Roscoe WDC 2024 confirmed. Lewis also has Roscoe involved in many of his projects, Lewis has hinted that Roscoe has a cameo in āApexā, his movie starring Brad Pitt. When Fortnite asked him to be in the game he said he would only agree if Roscoe was in the game with him. Fortnite, of course, agreed because Roscoe is an angel. They ended up putting him in a jet pack. He was 1,500 V-Bucks or 2,400 V-Bucks with the āLewis Hamilton Budleā (IDK if thats a lot I donāt play Fortnite). Lewis also said Roscoe is the only person he can count on to stand with him along with Bono.
After Cocoās death, Lewis took Roscoe to the vet where they recommended starting him on a vegan diet similar to what Lewis has. This vegan diet is often recommended to bulldogs because they often have food intolerances or allergies to the meat proteins that can affect the skin and gastrointestinal tract. The vegan diet Roscoe is on still includes the same things without the meat proteins in it that caused him to have health issues. Lewis has said his breathing has improved and that he no longer has skin allergies. Roscoe also has physical therapy and acupuncture every week to help with his joints.Ā Roscoe has also had health issues that caused him to ejaculate, often uncontrollably, scaring baby Roscoe and leading to him getting snipped in 2016. Lewis did have his sperm frozen so that Roscoe could have puppies. Lewis said, āItās great his genes will live on.ā Lewis said his plans were to have Roscoeās puppies after he retires but with the fanzone in 2024 Australia GP, it sounds to me like he may be looking sooner to have Roscoeās pups or to retire. Last year, around the British GP, Roscoe had some issues regarding his spine. If I remember correctly, it involved a slipped hernia in his spine. Luckily, he got stem therapy and was able to attend the GP. He has been improving, and as of today he is back to normal.
Now for the part most people know about. Roscoe started his instagram account, roscoelovescoco, in January 2015 with a post featuring Coco and him captioned āThanks for following us :).ā The instagram account was originally a joint account with both Coco and Roscoe until 2020, although both did get solo posts. As expected Roscoe does make money off his Instagram, but he is also a dog model. Lewis said in a Silver Arrows interview in 2021 that he gets paid $700 a day which goes in Roscoe's treat fund. Roscoe also has sponsorships. His Thanksgiving party was sponsored by Bramble Pets, and he did content (including a commercial) for Zapp, a food delivery company Lewis invested in. Roscoe also appears in Lewis' vlog channel (it hasnāt been updated since 2021) multiple times. His last appearance is in a video āAdventures with Roscoe! | Lewis Hamilton Vlogsā which is also the last updated video on Lewis channel. He reached 1 million followers in 2024, which is more than Chouprette Lagerfield, the cat of Karl Lagerfeld (I am not joking, this man left a good chunk of his fortune [~$300 million] to his cat). Roscoeās captions on his instagram posts were originally typed in a sort of third person first person mix but in October 2020, Roscoe finally established his first first person post with his famous lisp. However, the conspiracy expands as prior to this first lisp post, there are two posts on instagram where Roscoe (and Coco) are talking to us. The first one was posted April 2024 with Roscoe saying, āThey put a thermometer up me bum, dad!ā In this speech bubble, Roscoe doesnāt have a lisp but does speak in a sort of baby talk. The next post in October 2017 features both Roscoe and Coco with Roscoe saying, āWe got acupuncture today Dad!ā and Coco saying, āItās my favorite.ā (More info about the dogs getting acupuncture is in the health section.) I will note his lisp comes and goes on his posts around November 2020. His lisp finally stays and its intensity does increase. There are also a few posts taken with Mercedes that donāt feature the lisp, and a few posts talking about Roscoe or Coco written in their āDadāsā pov where it obviously doesnāt use a lisp.
