Trea, 44!!

you've put me in a real situation with this one haven't you. inspired by Scene Queen, Set It Off - Barbie & Ken ... content warning; graphic depictions of murder :)

Send me a ship and a number from 1-100 and I’ll write a short ficlet inspired by the corresponding song in my wrapped top 100

He flexes his hand around the baseball bat, the leather of his glove squeaks and he adjusts the mask covering his face. One good swing and he can get out of here. Well... The man has no idea what’s coming, focused on counting the bullets in the magazine, and Trea prays he doesn’t turn around, it’ll only make this harder. He rears the bat behind his head.

The crack echoes in the hall. Trea doesn’t know if it was the bat or the skull of the man now on the ground like an abandoned toy. He kneels over the body and hesitates for a second, before reaching for the broken beer bottle in the trash can under the table.

“This one’s personal,” he whispers, pushing the man’s unconscious body to be face down on the ground. Trea pulls his head up by his hair and places the sharp edge of broken glass on his neck. He takes a deep breath and pulls, hard, slicing his neck open. The blood sprays across the floor and makes a wet splat when Trea drops the man’s head into the puddle that’s forming. He leaves the bottle next to the man, picks up his bat and leaves.

thank you for recipes!! this is awesome!

Could I hear about some cake recipes perhaps... (inspiration for when I inevitably have a moment during reading week when I feel so evil that nothing will fix me except for tearing the kitchen apart and getting baked goods out of it)

ofc 🫡

molly yeh sprinkle cake

brown butter carrot cake

three kings cake with rose water <- i would give my life for the convivio bookworks guys but it took me so damn long to remember to buy rose water from them, so i've never made it with rose water

zucchini bread (i add chocolate chips)

lemon syrup loaf cake

gluten free vegan apple cake by imperfect foods <- i HATED this but my coworkers at the library ate the whole thing in like one hour so idk

pls note that if there's nuts i take them out (allergy) and if there's dried fruit i take them out (yucky). but otherwise i don't fuck with them too much i'm not that good of a baker.

A man at one of my tables tonight sent his flounder back because he said it tasted weird, which is whatever, so the owner/chef Vince tasted it to double check in case we needed to 86 flounder. He said it was fine, then he offered some to Gabe and to me. I was like, oh yeah it’s good. Not even ten minutes later I was like, “my throat is itchy as fuck.” Then I suddenly was SO congested, then my neck and face started itching and I felt my eyes puffing up. I said to danielle, “I think I might be allergic to flounder.” She was like, “Why do you say that?” Then she turned away from the POS and went, “Jesus Christ, you don’t look good.” Delia was standing next to her and said, “Don’t ever say that about the queen! Erin is ALWAYS beautiful!” I turned to face her and she slapped her hand over her mouth and went, “OH MY GOD, BRUH.” I was like, “Delia, I think I’m done taking tables for the night…” she went to tell the other owner/Vince’s wife Lori, who came up to me and audibly gasped. She asked Sara if she had Benadryl in her car and Sara said, “Maybe, why?” Lori said, “Erin needs it like, NOW.” Sara started to ask what was wrong, then she saw me and said, “Ohhh, FUCK” and fucking SPRINTED to her car lol. She didn’t have Benadryl, so Lori sent Vince to their house up the street to get it, then she started panicking because, “he’s taking way too fucking long, I’m scared you’re gonna die on us.” I was like, “I promise I’ll be okay. I actually feel fine!” (I did not feel fine. Meanwhile, I still had six tables I was periodically checking on, and the concern on their faces kept growing every time I walked up lmao). Lori said, “You look like a tomato!! This is NOT okay! I’m scared!” LORI I HAVE EXTREME HEALTH ANXIETY AND YOU USED TO BE A NURSE; DON’T TELL ME YOU’RE SCARED, BECAUSE I WILL START TO PANIC. Sara asked what tables I had and said she’d take care of them so I could sit down, I said, “I appreciate that Sara, but if I sit down, I’m gonna have to think about what’s happening to me and I’ll spiral. I must keep moving or we’re going to have an even worse problem on our hands when I’m mid-panic attack as well as mid-allergic reaction.” She was like, “Okay, fair.”

Vince came back with the Benadryl, I took one to start so I wouldn’t fall asleep standing up and crack my head on the brick floor, and thank fucking GOD it worked. Afterwards, Chris was like, “Now that you’re looking a LOT better, I have to tell you I was actually, genuinely scared for a minute.” They said I looked like their brother the day he found out he has a severe shellfish allergy, except the Benadryl did nothing for him and he had to go to the emergency room. They added, “I obviously didn’t tell you this before because of your anxieties.” I was like, “Thank you so much, my fellow faggot. This is the meaning of community.” Danielle said, “Well I’m straight so I was never gonna stop telling you how bad you looked.” Which is true. Danielle was on the verge of tears the entire time and kept asking if I would be okay and reminding me that I looked awful.

Anyway, so that’s how I found out about my super serious flounder allergy at the most inconvenient time (it was mid dinner rush) and scared my coworkers! A few summers ago we went to a local seafood restaurant for my dad’s birthday and I ordered flounder and had a very similar but more mild reaction (except that time I didn’t turn red or itch, but my throat was so sore it killed me to swallow), but at the time I thought I’d randomly caught a virus that just decided to kick my ass out of nowhere. lol. lmao. Guess we know what was actually happening!

[croszukis]

i’m developing deeply annoying opinions about hockey rpf that can only be described as purist and gatekeeping but it’s my god given right as a sports fan to be annoying.

was also forced to finish the approx 65% remaining of the conclave book before the habs game today bc of my library return date and i enjoyed it!! the movie is a great adaptation / complement imo. i hate how this is makes me endeared to catholic characters but they are compelling bc they are pathetic sad old men burdened by faith and a little gay. and now i must contemplate what to eat for lunch before sitting down to be angry at the toronto maple leafs

[msmargaretmurry]

hello tumblr i have finished reading s.hoot your s.hot and so this is a post about all my thoughts about it for @moregraceful and also anyone else who is interested i suppose!

first off let me say that i have nothing against l.exi b.rown, i am neutral-to-positive toward her as a person/public figure in the hockey world. like, i do think that sometimes she lets the line between space for fans/space for the hockey enterprise we are fans of get a little uncomfortably blurred, and sometimes she loses sight her own privilege a little bit, and sometimes she's a little bit cringe, but whomst among us isn't a little bit cringe? being a little bit cringe is an essential part of the human experience. but overall i think it's good to have a loud voice in a place of privilege within the hockey community who is willing to adamantly say trans rights and black lives matter and homophobia is dumb and bad, you know? i feel the need to say this because i AM going to be a little mean about this book but i have seen reactions to it here on the world wide web that feel like the people behind them are just getting off on the chance to be mean to a woman who is popular on the internet.

anyway becky just review the book.

SHORT VERSION: when i first posted that i was reading this, a very nice anon messaged to be like, i read it and while i thought it wasn't great on a craft level, i thought she delivered on the things she said she would deliver on — accuracy in the hockey parts, queer rep, and poc rep. and i agree, and i think those are worthwhile things! on a craft level the book was pretty clunky and in some specific ways Not For Me, but on a story level it was fine, and in other ways it was good actually. it was far from the worst hockey romance i have ever read and not worse than other clunkily written romance novels i've read and judged but that other people seem to love. anyone acting like it's the worst book ever written needs to take a breath. it was fine! there are some things i liked about it! the sex scenes were really bad though!

TL;DR VERSION:

so i went into this book with low expectations, largely because in the leadup to it lexi did not really make herself out to be a person who, like, particularly enjoys or respects romance as a genre. the built her audience in the hockey romance world by poking fun at other hockey romances and making fun of "sexy" hockey tropes and while i didn't necessarily disagree with her takes on those things (i felt very vindicated that she disliked my beloathed HIM, for example) i think that being a normal nobody who is critical of those things online is different from being a person with a pretty big platform who does it and then turns around and says, and now i'm going to write a book in this genre that does things RIGHT! while at the same time talking about how the books you actually enjoy reading are like, edgy literary fiction or whatever. (not derogatory; i also love edgy literary fiction)

so in addition to that setting my own expectations low i think that right off the bat it set her up for some unsympathetic responses — by selling herself as the person who could "fix" hockey romance, she possibly drew in people who wouldn't read hockey romance otherwise, or who have tried it and didn't like it, which could be a good thing if the book is like, genre-trancendingly good, but when it inevitably is not, all those people just wind up reading a mid hockey romance set against way too high expectations. also some people just REALLY like an excuse to mock women on the internet/romance as a genre.

(which isn't to say everyone has been a hater about it; it seems like her book launch events have gone great and plenty of people have genuinely enjoyed the book, so, good! i'm glad people are having fun!)

so, i am going to list the good parts and the bad parts, in my opinion.

BAD PARTS:

alternating first person present tense povs. my actual least favorite tense+pov combination in all of literature. i know some people like it but it is actively a turn-off for me.

needed an aggressive line-edit so bad. on a sentence level the prose was clunky in a lot of places. too many words. girlie needed to ctrl+f certain abverbs so badly, and then delete delete delete.

the pacing was not horrible but not great at times, especially with time jumps between chapters that were sometimes a little confusing. honestly a lot of my gripes about the craft stuff in this book are big baby's first novel problems, and romance novels are notoriously poorly edited, so.

the show/tell ratio was wayyyyy off. girl stop telling us stuff and show us instead. related gripe so it goes in this bullet point as well, you can tell when an author doesn't trust their readers to make connections or come to conclusions themselves so they feel like they have to spell out every little think they want you to think and i find that very tiring.

oh lord the sex scenes. lexi said at some point that she's uncomfortable writing them (but felt like she had to include them due to genre expectations) and you can really tell. the prose was at its clunkiest in these scenes and it seemed like she was trying to get through them as quickly as possible. imo the book would have been just fine, possibly better, without them. also girl no one forced you to write in this genre.

i said to jess and maggie early on in reading this book that it has a kind of wattpad self-insert fanfiction vibe and now having finished it i do think that on a story level it's a step up from wattpadesque, it cannot escape the self-insert fanfic vibe of a bisexual woman married to a black hockey man writing a book about a bisexual woman and a black hockey man who seem to have personalities fairly close to the real people. this may have been helped if she didn't name the characters LUCY AND JJ but who knows. this made reading it a little weird sometimes! there were points in reading where i wondered if she would have been better off from a craft/genre-appreciation level writing a straight up memoir or like, purposely thinly veiled literary autofiction, but of course those things don't have the market power of hockey romance. idk. despite this i also liked the diversity, so, big shrugs from me here.

this book is billed specifically as a ROM-COM and not a ROMANCE, which to me feels like lexi trying to distance herself a little from traditional romance, because she's not a big fan of traditional romance, which gets a huge sigh from me. also while there are some genuinely funny moments, a lot of it reads like the scenes of a movie being described, which is a pet peeve of mine. it is REALLY hard to write a funny story; i think that romcoms thrive on screen because they benefit from physical comedy, chemistry, and timing in a way that's really really difficult to capture in writing.

some people don't mind a lot of pop culture references in their contemporary fiction but unfortunately i am a person who often finds them pretty awkward and therefore the fact that many characters' personalities hinge on the pop culture references they make and the brands they use was tiring to me. relatedly, while i mostly didn't have gripes about factual accuracy in this book, at one point lucy mentions that they're been dating for a month and gotten halfway through watching naruto and i'm like girl do know know how many episodes of naruto there are. how did they have time to fuck

my one big accuracy gripe is that at a certain point lucy (an artist) starts selling her art online to make ends meet and is super successful at it, with no explanation of how this happened. selling art online is really hard! is she working social media hard to bring in customers? did she somehow tap into an existing market for her style of art? we just don't know!

GOOD PARTS:

the hockey details did indeed feel very accurate! it is worth acknowleding imo that she has a certain privilege in this area — she can literally just ask her nhler husband how things work if she doesn't already know from her years around the league — but the accuracy level in other hockey romances i've read have been so abysmally low that simply being accurate to the basics of how nhl/north american hockey works was pretty refreshing.

even though the writing was clunky, some of my favorite parts were when lucy was hanging out with her queer friends and the work that did to keep this book from feeling aggressively heterosexual in a weird patriarchal gender roles way that so many hockey romances do. and not even just het hockey romances. HIM (beloathed) was so wildly misogynistic it boggled my mind. it was nice to read a hockey romance that didn't feel like it hates women!

(please imagine every bullet point on this list beginning with, "even though the writing was clunky—")

similarly it was nice that jaylen felt like a real person with real problems and not a weird hockey man archetype of masculinity. i liked that the text acknowledged how his blackness affected his hockey experience. i enjoyed how he was written as a straight man who is genuinely cool with queer people. one of my favorite scenes was when lucy's friend clocks how much he likes her because he quietly gave a huge donation to the seattle pride fundraiser she'd dragged him to. i too would love for an attractive man to express his feelings for me by donating a ton of money to my gay friends!

both lucy and jaylen had genuinely strong character arcs that made sense for real people in their circumstances in the real world, but i especially liked jaylen's in how it was built out of real issues within the hockey world — the extreme pressure players (especially black players and high draft picks) are under to perform and put hockey before everything, the way that can fuck with your head, etc. once again just refreshing to have realistic hockey details!

not every character or relationship beat hit for me, but there were some genuinely cute and funny ones, especially later in the book. i thought one of the things lexi did a good job showing more than telling was the growing level of comfort/intimacy that lucy and jaylen had with each other, and while the third-act breakup did not come as a surprise, it did feel like a realistic problem for them to run into, as opposed to a contrived miscommunication like so many romance novels seem to like to have.

overall i'm like, yeah, it was fine! it wasn't awful, it wasn't great, i wish the writing had been better and there were parts i thought were especially poorly written but also parts i genuinely liked or appreciated! mainly my feelings here are that people are going to keep writing mid to bad hockey romances and i would rather those books have people of color in them, and queer people in them, and know how hockey works, and have a genuine love for the game and the community around it than not have those things, so i'm not mad at this book for existing even if i have some issues with it. obviously lexi has a big, built-in platform and access to the nhl that other authors don't have and hopefully she'll use that for good to inspire and support more diversity in hockey romance!

hello i was tagged by @18minutemajor for WIP Wednesday. it is not Wednesday but i am also not a cop so . here we gooo!!!!!!! tagging my esteemed colleagues (very politely and with no pressure!!!):

@neonfretra @oensible @sorrellegiance @moregraceful @stereax

@wheelsnipecelebrini

@korshrimpski (EDIT: it won’t?? let me tag you. unless these are on separate lines <3)

what's in-progress in your life <3 writing? art? recipe? skill acquisition?

if any crafty people see this - if ANYONE sees this - and would like to join in, feel free and consider yourself tagged <3 (and tag me back so i can see your stuff!!!) link to 18minutemajor's post if yall curious :3 my VERY long wip dump + ramblings under the cut!

its christmas soon and i like to paint gifts for my friends + and i'm finally revisiting my anime/lineart/inking era (here you are K!! my lineart past, present, and future!! <3) so here are some things i've been working on/coming back to/MAY NEVER FINISH: hockey related:

this is juraj slafkovsky and his dinky little middle part which he can absolutely learn to style into something a little less dinky but never does. i am so charmed by him. i imagine he just rocks it because his pretty privilege supersedes dinky middle parts . LMAO!!

here is Sasuke from my Naruto Hockey AU. I am a little stuck on jersey mockups lol. here he is. our haunted little 1OA who is absolutely normal and regular about his captain (LOUD incorrect buzzer):

personal oc art

wanna know some puckpocketed deep lore? i've never been one to make OCs. i was just not a very creative kid tbh. spent all my time drawing sailor moon instead. i still go back to her sometimes because she is one of my favourite shapes in the WORLD!!

in my 20s i took up playing d&d because of the. uh. plague. <3 and got pretty close to having OCs!! those count right? anyway. here is my tavern-wench-turned-wizard!!! i think i painted this 2 years ago? <- put dates on your works guys it saves lives. her name is Mel (short for Melins (pronounced like melons. on account of her knockers. can you tell i never grew out of my 12 yr old booby/cock joke era?) i revisited Mel recently and have started painting her in earnest again!! :3

I briefly dated someone who was very into streetwear and fashion, and I fell down a techwear/gorpcore/cyberpunk rabbit hole for a couple days out of curiosity. i remember literally zero salient info on any of it except the broad strokes of silhouetting and Vibes. what i emerged with, however, was a ?? sorta OC?? im not sure what to call them. they dont rly have a name or gender. I did this little sheet ages ago + the aborted attempt at a portrait later:

Here are my most recent explorations (i have been doing SOOOO much art. <3) which include:

unfinished character sheet + chibi art. I played with their jacket (much more structured/square/tailored thing) and added a lotta random buckles and belts. i took textiles class years ago and have a little experience in garment construction. and i know for a fact this thing does not make any sense. it hurts me to look at a little bit LMAO so i've paused it while i go draft patterns (badly. i was never good at drafting. i think i may have to break out my scrap fabric stash and hand sew a real life mock-up. HELP!)

here is me having fun with them and imagining them as some kind of cyber-fisherman. the best part of every game is the fishing mini-game to me. i love fishing mini-games so much. I made their hair really big because i wanted them to have big unwieldy hair and the vibes told me i should add more movement to the piece aside from the fishing line. I messed with their jacket AGAIN because i can't stop thinking about what kinda jacket they'd wear. gorp-core ? idk. it sure is something!

gifts for my friends :3

back in my weeb era for real YAYYYY!!! up til now i'd been making hockey art using a zero pressure sensitivity pen brush because i simply did NOT want to deal with that. it is and has always been a barrier to me making art that uses line art. <3 easing my way back into it though!

I used to paint gifts for my friends and then get them printed into lil posters and mount them on nice backing :3 i am now ready and back to painting.

Here is my girlbestie's OC. just a rough pose sketch. i think im pretty unsatisfied with the gesture of the head/hand. i wanted to include her gun in some way. i fear i may have to rework the pose entirely <3

For the genshin girlies.. here are some of my friends fave characters.

Yelan - this one i started many holidays ago and put on the backburner because the colouring was wigging me out. you can see where i started rendering stuff + got sidetracked and started on something else (the crystal choker IM LAUGHING @ past me...)

Ayaka - I reaaally like what i did here with the perspective + foreshortening. I don't know if the pose or expression is in-character or not, but i had fun :3 got stunlocked looking at references of genshin weapons so this is where i left off:

if you made it all the way down here hi... <3 ice hockey really cracked the ketchup bottle open for me when it comes to making art again. i love the communities i've found, and i'm inspired by every artist on here every day. thanks for being so cool + have a great day :)

♾️!

shuffle said “your apartment” by wallows!!

Who said / I don’t understand or that I probably don’t remember / Time in the palm of your hand / we both let go together

&

Who’s been tryin’ to get their signal sent? / I promise I get your sentiment / I wonder who’s been at your apartment?

not like. lyrically the greatest song but i love that there’s a storyline that runs through the first few songs of the album and the ways they reference each other (you called me over to your apartment, whose signal sent? -> you can call me anytime -> i know you’re calling after me). shout out also to the pre-chorus pauses for questionable punctuation and interpretation because it’s one of my favorite things when the inflection and performance can change the meaning of the lyrics!!

[fossore]

Not sure this is overly accurate to the characters of the guys involved and the meme actually says lighting not smoking but nevertheless. Entire team does seem to be quite enthused about that old man*.

(I don’t generally consume baseball with fujo glasses (as @moregraceful puts it) on but sometimes something does pop into my head and this one entertained me enough to post.)

*he is 41 but he turns 42 on feb 20. Baseball old.

9, 12, 16 & 17 for end of year asks pls!

9. best month for me this year - i think august?? i was free from school for most of it (i had a summer class in june/july) so i got to spend the most time with my personal writing and projects, i had my seattle trip, which was so great and i got to see so many good friends, got to cat sit for my sister a bit which meant getting paid to hang out with my favorite cats and eat all the ice cream in her freezer, and at the end of the month i went with a bunch of friends to the simple plan/avril lavigne tour which was SO fun.

12. a new friend i made this year - ok so one of my ~grad school goals~ has been to make at least one friend at school. i made no friends in undergrad and i just thought it would be nice to have a school friend! and i made a school friend!! we had been in a few classes together before so when we showed up for fall semester we were like yay, a familiar face, and by the end of the semester we were walking and chatting together after every class 😊

16 + 17. pics from the beginning/end of the year:

first hockey game of the year / last* hockey game of the year! (*i have one more game planned this year but it hasn't happened yet 😂)

bonus: january keats / december keats! what a treat to begin and end the year with @moregraceful 💖
