stucky cup 2024
well, they went from a 3x3 tournament at the first ever kraken dev camp in 2023 to 4x4 last year and i guess this year we finally have enough prospects to play 5x5. i was initially a bit disappointed because it's so much harder to notice individual details when there's 10 goddamned players on the ice, but i came around pretty quick. it was nice to see them play their actual positions, and also very interesting to see how they do in 5x5 traffic.
ty nelson skates very low to the ice and he's like a wrecking ball going straight through everybody. honestly can't tell if that's because he's physically able to force his way through traffic or if it's because everyone else kind of gets out of his way because they Do Not Want this dense pit bull bod barrelling into them.
berkly catton is completely the opposite style but just as effective, he just slides right by people into the zone. it's also extremely fun to watch him slip passes through impossible seams. the nelson/catton/firkus combo was pretty unstoppable. you can really tell when ty's on the ice, he makes the forwards look so much better.
julius miettinen had the most dominant faceoff win of the day, maybe he's not the most skilled but the size and strength matter. it was fun to watch him and my guy VIKING GUSTAFFSON get into it. lleyton roed also had a very nice end to end goal.
i was right about visa vedenpaa: team nelson scored 5 goals on the first period goalie but only once on him.
it was really cool for them to announce the contract signings, but i have some other gripes about in-game production. if they could give us a goal horn and kraken sound effects for the pride tournament, i don't understand why they couldn't today. the announcer also kept mispronouncing jagger firkus's name as "yaeger." ty nelson's acceptance of the stucky cup this year was also way boring compared to his outstanding showmanship last year. no trophy hoist, no victory lap, no fun. also why bother to name 3 stars if you're not going to have them yeet fish?
berkly catton lingered on the ice after everything was over, doing tight turns. that is a personality trait i always like in a hockey player. he and caden price are clearly saskatoon buddies and i love that for them and for us.

❦ ➷ get to know your fellow fanfic writers better ༊ ✧.*
I was tagged by @bebx and @loki-is-my-kink-awakening for this “get to know the writer” tag! Thank you! 😊
when did you post your first ever fanfic?
I believe in 2012-2013? I was around 13-14 years old, so around then anyway (my first one doesn’t exist online anymore as far as I know so I can’t double check.) it was the usual middle school fandom girl era lol. First for my current account was February of 2022!
first character you wrote for:
It would have been Rin Matsuoka from Free! Iwatobi Swim Club! Specifically him and Nitori, they were one of my fave ships in that series!
main character(s) you’re currently writing for:
Basically anyone from the Loki series but especially Loki and Mobius and Sylvie, not necessarily in that order or all together but some combo of them 💚
character(s) you haven’t written about before but plan on writing about soon:
I haven’t written for OFMD but would really like to! I’ve had a lot of feels s2, no solid ideas yet but maybe something will spark some inspiration! Also Red White and Royal Blue! I haven’t gotten a chance to read the book yet but I watched the movie and got hooked and love those boys too 💕 so maybe one or both of them if the Loki series even temporarily gets it’s hooks out of me (with s2 though I’ve been as bad if not worse than before with my obsession so who knows lol)
And for within marvel the ship that got me into fanfic and got me to make this current ao3 account was Stucky so even though I only read for them and never wrote, they always have a place in my heart!
fandom(s) you’re currently writing for:
Also just Loki atm! But who knows for the future.
platonic pairing(s) you currently write for:
Mobius and any of the void Lokis as the best found family ever (Mobius and kid, Mobius and classic, Mobius and all of them my beloveds)
I haven’t written it recently but also wrote B-15 and Sylvie in a non romantic context and even though I think they’re also cute romantically I love them as a platonic pair and want to do more with them too! Similarly Sylvie and C-20, I wish they could have been friends if things had gone a bit differently 🥺
romantic pairing(s) you currently write for:
Lokius and Sylkius! Haven’t written any pure Sylki but who knows (I just like Mobius too much to not include him atm)
your top 3 tags on AO3 (if you post your works on AO3):
Hurt/comfort, fluff, and hugs 😂 sounds about right to me! I like some pain and crying and working through stuff but need the hugs and comfort alongside it/after it for sure.
your current platform where you post your works
AO3 is the same as my name here!
I try to post my fics links on tumblr too but don’t always remember so ao3 is always best bet if you want to read my stuff!! 😍
snippet of the wip you’re currently working on:
Right now I’m most heavily focused on a character study type fic cataloging different moments with Sylvie adapting to her McDonald’s life but specifically looking at her relationship with Jack, I think she would have such a great big sister vibe and they could learn a lot from each other 🥹
“Good job today, Sylvie,” Jack says, his lopsided smile clear even before Sylvie glances his way. He’s always got compliments and kindness at the ready, and he’s young and gentle enough that they’re always believable.
“Thanks, Jack,” she feels a smile curl onto her face. She still, even after knowing Loki and Mobius and B-15, feels like she doesn’t know how to have friends or family or any genuine connections at all. But Jack is the first in a long time to feel so real to her, to feel like a relationship she can stick with, with these new more permanent circumstances and her distance from the trauma of the TVA. She doesn’t remember what it’s like to be a sister, her memories of Thor long gone beyond the occasional glimmers in her dreams, let alone what being the older sister would be like, but this is what she suspects it is. A fierce protectiveness and gentle care, the ignoring of any silly flaws or naïveté because you just care about the person. That’s what she has for Jack, ever since he took her under his wing as an employee, she’s done the same for him as just a person.
“Mind if I stay here for a bit? My ma is going to be a few more minutes.”
Sylvie just smiles softly and scoots over on the wide hood of her truck, gesturing to the empty spot.
Jack nods rather sagely as he awkwardly hoists himself on to the hood of the truck, pushing himself up with his arms and then practically throwing himself on to it.
He pants softly as he adjusts to lay on his back a foot or two away from Sylvie, giving her another boyish grin. “Hey.”
“Very smooth, Jack,” Sylvie snorts.
“Your truck is huge! I’ve ridden in trucks before but yours is massive! I’m not sure how you even get up here, you’re shorter than me!” He laughs.
“My little secret, I guess,” Sylvie shrugs with a slight smile, returning her gaze to the inky sky, dotted with a trillion stars.
I’m excited to keep writing this, I’ve got some Lokius ideas in the works too but this one has been my focus for a few days!!
I’d love to see anyone do this that is interested but I’ll tag my usual group!!
@insert-witty-user-name-here @starport-seven-five @lgwilt @mirilyawrites @cha-melodius @chaos-monkeyy @waterhorseyblues-ao3 @blackbirdofasgard @dreamycloud @queen-of-meows

A N T for that alphabet ask game
A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
okay uuuuh i mean, obviously shadowgast i have only written like 300k of it in the past few years. im also quite the fan of ashrym/dashrym and callowmore (tho i like my callowmore on the platonic side personally). i will happily make the dirt wizards kiss ANYONE i do have a widomauk fic in the works and i have an idea for a caleb/yussa fic percolating and theres that one porny art by newt with c3 era caleb paired with ashton and orym that im just :lasereyes: yes i will one day write something for it i stg. also fun fact my First Ship for cr was beauyasha like, ep one. i got like 30 seconds into their first interaction and immediately texted cherry at like two am like PLEASE TELL ME THEYRE A SHIP and lo, they were cannon fucking incredible
outside of cr.... stucky, my beloved, especially with skinny steve because i love that sickly twink; big brother hobie creating Situations for gwen and miles (its hard being wingman to two people when you want them to kiss each other and also theyre idiots); kylux, obvs; rey/finn/poe/rose in basically any combination (i wish i didnt have One Hyperfixation Only type adhd because i would LOVE to write my rey/finn/rose idea where rey and rose are mechanics and finn is having car trouble and then they double team him in the office dont ask me why they have straps in the filing cabinet this is pwp); with hs at one point i would literally randomly generate pwp ideas. i didn't often finish them but it was a good exercise especially in characterization but i was mostly read davekat, daverose, any combo of erisolkat, and davejohn because i fukken pavlov'd myself into liking the ship lmao
shit this is gonna get long here is a read more
N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
hhhh i am so sorry if this sounds mean but the bulk of why i dont read a ton of cr fic when i was constantly devouring kylux fic largely boils down to two things
1. the technical stuff is eeh and 2. there is just not a ton of nuance in characterization or plot
both results in me being perpetually frustrated whenever i try to read most of what i open. theres been some gems!! theres also been a lot of stuff with promise where i can tell in a couple years the writer will knock it out of the park!!! but theres also a god awful amount where i'm just like that is not how dicks work lmao
i am sure a lot of that is because the cr fandom skews a lot younger than kylux (where folks are like 20-30 on average instead of 35-50 kinda younger) plus cr has a LOT of esl speakers compared to kylux whereas a TON of kyluxers have degrees in literature or library science, so like, it makes sense that there's a difference, but it still drive me bonkers that i cant just open a fic and read it without closing it halfway through because its too one note :I
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
nope!! i am very ship and let ship in all regards. there are many things i enjoy (like short!essek or the idea that caleb would and probably has made out with all of his friends) that crop up repeatedly across my fic but i'm down for basically any good faith interpretation and i LOVE when someone writes a weird headcannon so well i have to steal it
there are many letters left of this ask meme if anyone else wants to send me a q!! pls enrich the mochi this is fun

Gif Coloring Challenge!
I was tagged by @darlingnotso! So this was kind of tricky because usually if I am giffing it’s with a specific color pallet in mind, or to color correct but with this scene I love the bluescreen so much I didn’t want to mess with it.
Top left is the original, top right is what I usually do, and middle two are some new stuff I tried out. And the bottom is just me fucking around with it bc like.....I can and why shouldn’t I make my gay little gays gayer?
Anyway so! What I usually do is start out with Hue/Saturation and check the Brightness to get an idea where I want to go, then I use color layers with different layer styles and opacities to change the coloring itself. (On this one I did up the saturation a bit because I really wanted to play with the colors, but everything else was done with a combo of yellow/orange/red color layers. I basically just tried to color correct a little bit and bring out the shimmering fringe in this gif, since I didn’t have a pallet or idea in mind.
The middle left gif, I used Exposure and curves rather than Hue/Saturation and I was actually surprised how much I liked the end result, although I think the colors themselves got a bit washed out in the process. And the middle right gif, I through everything at it, Exposure, Hue/Sat, and played around with the channel mixer a bit too. I really like the end result??
And on the bottom, I did my usual coloring then threw a rainbow gradient on Linear light at 60% opacity, threw on a good ol’ reliable stucky quote with some outer glow, and called it a day because I’m gay and I do what I want <3 Of course, the 256 color limit ended up with the result being a bit pixelly but i’m not here to make flawless edits I’m here to be gay.
UHHH who do I know that gifs who hasn’t been tagged lmao @heytheredeann and I am very sorry apparently every one else’s name has left my brain please do this if you gif things <3 <3 <3 <3
#tag memes#milo gifs#me spaghetti walling gif making like I REFUSE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IM JUST HERE TO BE GAY AND MAKE THINGS PRETTY

Thank you guys for everything you do! I was reading this fic that I can’t find-I think it’s a series that goes from catfa to post ws? The only scene I remember is Steve calling Peggy post-avengers and they talk about bisexuality and Peggy says something like “[shield]didn’t tell you? It’s like they don’t want you to be happy.” And I think she and Angie were together. Lots of pining and I think it was mostly from Steve’s perspective.

Hi! First, I just would like to thank you for the time and work you've put into your tumblr. It's AMAZING. <3 Second, I was hoping you could help me find a fic I lost please. Sorry in advance since I probably won't word it well. It was Cap!Steve/Modern!Bucky, and there were moments when Bucky would cup his hands around Steve's face - so Steve's face would seem smaller - as a symbol of Bucky seeing and loving Steve as STEVE and not just as Cap. Thanks for your help! :)

I'd actually really like to ask about the opening chapter of Heroes are Easy, People are Hard, specifically the big conversation between Tony and Bucky because I remember reading it and thinking that I did not envy you the task of writing it. It's the kind of scene that would make me cry and scream and wait until the last second to write and then get bogged down revising. But you did it so well and that scene really got me hooked on the whole premise because CHARACTERIZATION HOLY WOW.
*beams* Aww, thank you so much!
That scene is probably my favorite: it was the first thing I wrote, the impetus for all the rest of the story. And actually, it wasn’t revised all that much, although it wasn’t written in one sitting. That’s because various iterations of that scene had popped up over and over in my stock daydreaming rotation for a while--you know, the dramatic stories you tell yourself when you’re walking somewhere or on the subway or the soap opera in your head before you fall asleep--before I decided to write it down, so I had a lot of drafts discarded before I even started.
That said, the very first written version, even though it basically avoids the key conversation, has them already at the Tower. Steve’s mostly recovered when Tony asks if he can talk with Bucky on the roof. He leaves the room as he’s saying this, so he doesn’t see Bucky go pale and determined, and, out of nowhere, kisses Steve before following Tony. Then I have the following, tense shifts and all:
[Bucky gets on the roof and heand Tony eventually sort out that execution is not on the agenda. Line at some point: “No x, no y, and no, I willnot reconsider.”]
Theshaking might not be relief, though, because it’s accompanied by a soft butemphatic “shit.” Then Barnes, in another incredibly incongruous move, flashedhim a wry grin. “I might ask you toreconsider. I kinda just—” he broke off, blushing,and rubbed the back of his neck, which, if it wasn’t an old-timey habit, feltlike one.
“What?Spill,” Tony demanded. “I own you now. You owe me. What’d you do with your whatyou somehow thought were your last minutes on Earth? Which I am still madabout, by the way.”
“Ikissed Steve.”
Starkstopped pacing. He looked delighted. “You what. Is Cap a good kisser? –Wait, doI want to know? I don’t think I want to know. --You kissed Cap?”
So that was fun, and in retrospect was probably the origins of Stucky-shipper Tony, but I also had to consider how they’d end up at Stark Tower to begin with, and how it would have to Bucky who called for help if something happened to Steve. At least some of the conversation I skipped over in brackets would have to take place then. And I liked the tension and pathos inherent in Bucky putting his life--and Steve’s--in Tony’s hands after the fight in Civil War.
There were many daydream/draft/versions around the same theme, but turns out I could only commit a less melodramatic version to paper. Writing it down also helped me realize what was out of character (like melodrama). Originally I thought Tony would be more suspicious that it was a trap, for instance. Then I realized he’d have talked with Pepper and Rhodey before going anywhere, and that they--especially Pepper--would probably be inclined to believe Bucky because they’ve seen Tony when he’s desperate. There’s a certain shared logic of “I need to save this person. What happens to me is incidental. Here’s the best solution” in, say, Tony forcing a big fight with Rhodey so Rhodey “stole” the War Machine armor, or Tony remote-summoning the Mark 42 armor and having it grab Pepper, that they recognize in Bucky calling Tony. Besides, when Tony isn’t freaked out, he’d be able to recognize that Bucky didn’t choose to kill his parents and is probably not actively working against him now. Probably.
But none of this is about That Scene itself. Hmm.
I suppose what I wanted to do was make Bucky deliberately, totally vulnerable (because I want him to be safe and happy forever and therefore have All The Feels over it when he’s noble and self-sacrificing, apparently). He’s scared out of his mind, it has never occurred to him that Tony might not kill him if they ever see each other again, and he has to be completely open and honest and pliable or Tony might not believe him and might not help Steve. He’s deliberately, systematically making himself helpless as a show of good faith.
It immediately followed that in that scenario, Tony would be intensely uncomfortable. Even if he’s mostly sure it’s probably not a trap, he’s kinda scared of Bucky, and really doesn’t like him. He’s also aware that it’s not Bucky’s fault he killed his parents, but that doesn’t make the dislike/fear/rage combo go away. If you get down to it, he knows that he’s killed people he didn’t mean to too, like Wanda’s family, and that he handled the revelation about Bucky about as well as Wanda and Pietro handled seeing his name on the missile, only they were, what, ten years old? when they decided to Get Revenge on Tony Stark, and he’s a lot older and maybe should have reacted differently. But. “Screw you. He killed my mom.” That whole thing, the guilt and the ambivalence about the guilt, makes all the other things worse.
In the end, I had Tony spell that out himself, because being completely, flippantly honest can be a defense mechanism as well as a vulnerability. Both he and Bucky are probably being the most open and honest they are in the whole story in this scene (and the one in the lounge in chapter two), but for very different reasons. Bucky is trying to give Tony control and Tony is . . . partly dealing with his awkwardness by naming it and putting it out there first, and partly nope-ing right out of that power position.
Tangent: Tony isn’t comfortable having power over people. In the movies, he’s happiest when someone’s giving him a hard time--Pepper and Rhodey give him so much shit, seriously, and he gives it right back and it’s a cycle of sass and joy. His hassling Bruce on the helicarrier isn’t so much “I’m not scared of you, I’m a badass, I can take you” as “I’m not scared of you, you’re cool.” He wants everyone on an equal footing. (Also predisposes him to not like Daddy’s Wonder Boy very much, because the Ideal of Steve was always there when he was growing up, but that’s a different conversation.)
Then you put these together: Bucky’s trying to be as submissive and non-threatening as possible, Tony is uncomfortable with that but also on edge, AND THEN the fundamental disconnect becomes clear and both of them are thrown a little off-script. Tony’s startled and worried and finds himself trying to reassure Bucky, who is, meanwhile, completely overwhelmed. And then compelled to be even more honest about everything out of gratitude.
Finally, there’s the fact that Tony’s starting to think of Bucky (correctly) as younger than him and to recognize that there are more parallels between them than just “skills used to kill people when I did not agree to doing that”--specifically that they’re both self-sacrificing and guilty about shit. It’s way easier for Tony to see in Bucky than in himself. He doesn’t really put all of it together, or rather, let himself know he has, until the nightmare scene later. That was the second scene I wrote. :)
I wasn’t sure on the order for certain elements at first--how early in the conversation it becomes clear that Bucky expects Tony to kill him, whether the revelation that Bucky’s in love with Steve happens in the conversation or after--but the conversation flowed reasonably well the way I wrote it down the first time, so I didn’t mess with it that much later. It just was a lot of staring at the screen and typing slowly when I first set it down.
....That got long and I don’t know if any of that was what you were after, but I could probably go on A LOT longer about character analysis and stuff, so let me know.

UNPOPULAROPINION: F A N D O Mc l os e d
Imean.
I…
Huh.
Youknow there is precious little way of approaching this subject without somehow, inadvertentlyinsulting somebody.
Fandomsare their core are great, it is literally a group of people who loved somethingenough to form together just so they could talk about one thing in particular.They inspire artwork, fanfiction, conversation, friendship. A fandom, anyfandom, tends to have the basis of wanting to connect with people who love thesame thing you do. Whether it’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, Lordof the Rings, or any other loved thing.
Thatdoes not mean, however, fandoms cannot go horribly wrong.
Whichis my problem.
Whatin god’s name happened to respecting someone’s opinion? Remember that time youhad a discussion with your friend about whatever topic, and you disagreed, andit wasn’t the end of the god damn world?
Yeah, me too.
Sowhat the hell happened?
Ishould not be afraid to post my opinion on something, simply because someonemight disagree with it. I don’t know why it’s a thing in this god damn fandomto shame someone just for liking something you don’t, what world do you live inwhere it’s okay to make someone feel terrible because they RP a variant of amuse you don’t like?
Here’sa thought, if you don’t like it, don’tfollow or interact with the blog. It really is the simplest solution, don’tgo out there hate-reading just to get your fires burning, don’t go out therecalling out some poor sod because they RP a muse you don’t like. I don’t careif the muse is Wanda, Red Skull, Loki, or whoever-the-fuck-else. If, forwhatever reason, you don’t enjoy their writing, UNFOLLOW.
Don’tlike that they turned a gay muse straight?
Don’tinteract with them.
Don’tlike that they RP Bucky as a Hydra Operative (one that’s not brainwashed andconstantly a freezer-burnt potato)?
Turnthe other cheek.
Honestly.
Mybiggest problem with the fandom (or any fandom) is everyone likes to marcharound on their high horses, thinking they’re infallible and they’re not. Vague-posts, call-outs,hate through anons, cliques and whatever the fuck else people can come up with.
Thatmentality, that mob mentality turns the fandom toxic. Suddenly it’snot okay to approve of the cast that were picked for the movie, because there’sa damn fad rushing around the internet that somehow, some actress or actor justisn’t good enough. It’s not okay to dislike a ship because if you do, you’rebeing homophobic. You can’t appreciate a villain because if you do, you’re aterrible person, but it’s two-fold, because if you say that something thatvillain has done is unforgivable, you’re an even worse person because fuck youand your god given right to having an opinion that may be different theneveryone else.
Guys.
Comeon.
Ifsomeone doesn’t like a ship, they’re not being any form of asshole. It is justtheir opinion, they do not have to like Stucky, Winterwidow, or whatever otherweirdass name combo people come up with.
Andthey do not owe you an explanation as to why, they can very well just not enjoyit.
Also,someone saying “I don’t like WinterIron,” isnot homophobic. It’s not anything besides an non-offensive opinion.
Peoplecan enjoy a villain without being garbage. How many of you adored Darth Vaderwhen you were a kid because that Sith Lord was cool as fuck? A lot of you,probably. And how many of you realized later, that he was a murderous bastardand that was a fundamental part of hischaracter? And that’s okay, because he’s a villain.
Aperson is entitled to like whatever actress or actor they want, and whilediscussing possible other alternatives can be a great discussion, realize thatsomeone isn’t a terrible human being because they happen to like whoever waspicked for the movie. Their opinion is as valid as yours, in fact, the only opinionthat loses validity, is the one made with hate, or contempt.
I’ve witnessedso much hate from this fandom due to a difference of opinion. Amusingly enough,the original opinion wasn’t even offensive. It was nothing beyond a simplestatement of either enjoying or disliking a take on something. Then I watchedas it spiralled out of control. It turns into a massive he-said, she-said and peoplewere chased away.
Somany muns I know are afraid to state their opinion because of backlash. Theiropinions are not controversial, they’re not terrible or world-ending.
They’rejust opinions.
Yet peopleafraid all the same, because of the fandom’s mob mentality.
