#sorry i'm a dick sometimes

I did think (wrongly, apparently!) you meant playoffs, which is across the board terrible officiating. You're right that I couldn't say who gets away with more in the regular season, but I do know that when it comes to injuries resulting from dirty hits, they don't get suspended enough in post-season for any team. I agree Matthews isn't an angel, but how many times does an opponent injure him and nothing comes from it? Nylander too, and like, look at how beat up Draisaitl and Ekblad get every single season. None of them play clean, but they all suffer from the lack of integrity in officiating as much as they benefit. You yourself said that in your post, so we agree there too, I just think it's oversimplifying a serious issue to chalk it all up to bias for specific stars on specific teams. I think the issue is wider than that, but maybe that wasn't your intention and I misunderstood.

nah and you're good. playoffs officiating is dogshit and like. i do NOT envy them at all. i wouldn't want to officiate a regular season game let alone a first round playoffs game.

i think it may be an oversimplification, but there are legitimate trends of nhl stars not receiving penalties that they should. i think the issue with auston is that he doesn't necessarily intend to injure? and he's been very open about that, he doesn't engage with fights he tells his locker room he doesn't like fighting etc, but he's absolutely a target for other teams. but he absolutely participates in undisciplined behavior (hooking slashing holding are his worst i've noticed) like they're going out of style

willy too. people know he's a threat so they go after him, and he i have noticed doesn't necessarily go for undisciplined penalties as much but he does hook and trip quite often and it doesn't get called as much as it should. probably about a third (if i had the time to go back and watch games i would but unfortunately a man has a busy schedule here for the next week, depending on what next week looks like i'll get back to you) of willy's penalties don't get called in the regular season

which, like i said in the last anon, it can absolutely be chalked up to the four officials just flat out not being able to pay attention to ten people all at once. and only refs can call penalties yadda yadda yadda, linespeople literally aren't allowed to blow the whistle for undisciplined penalties and they're only allowed to snitch after the whistle has been blown, but like. god damn there's no way they're not seeing that shit and just ignoring it.

and yeah you're right. it was especially egregious during the playoffs when aus took that suspected midbody (?) injury and it went uncalled. and i mean, aus doesn't get injured nearly as much as our d does, and i feel like that almost doesn't get called as much as it should to the same if not to a worse degree. how many times did mccabe bleed all over himself and the worst the opposition got was a two minute minor? how many times was calle out for 5+ games after getting charged and the opposition didn't get a call? how many times was Iily hit in the head and dragged off the ice and no one said anything?

i think if we're going to argue that there isn't a leafs bias there are other places to look. i think that you have a valid argument somewhere if you want to try and make one, but it isn't wrt the stars. it's wrt the d core

and like there is a much more obvious intent to injure (maybe not even injure? maybe subdue? but i'm gonna go with injure i personally think they're full of goons like you can't have evander kane and corey perry on your team without admitting that there is intent to injure there) with the oilers stars. they're a MUCH more physical team than the leafs are. the more recent stars the leafs have picked up (domi) and the ones they're developing (knies) are reffed fairly in my opinion, so it kind of evens out. but with the oilers, their physicality from what i've seen doesn't (necessarily). if i watched more than like 15 regular season oilers games a year i'd be able to give better specific commentary but unfortunately i am a bad oilers spectator

I keep getting messages asking me if I want to "bring my stories to life" with art on fanfic. It's pretty frustrating tbh- I'm getting like three or four a day and all of them are clearly copy-pasted. Some of them have whatever story they clicked on in brackets so it's clearly a pre-written message they just mashed my title into.

Like. Good for artists to be proactive and try to make money!! You guys deserve good money for your work!!! But also. I am poor. I have no money. Please move on.

a lot of people seem to use Entry #61 as 'proof' for the crux of the "Brian didn't care about Tim, he was Taking Advantage of Tim's conditions and Forcing him to work as part of totheark" thing, but honestly when you think about it there's no possible way Brian could have possibly orchestrated that series of events, like you almost have to interpret that as a baffling group of coincidences

“Slut your wrists! Kill yourself! then you post a selfie saying “Don’t want to smile feel weird about it” as a desperate attempt to get compliments. You’re in your mid twenties doing all this😭 Grow up you’re not a teenager anymore. 30 is closer than ever and you’re breaking down because someone asked if you cry a lot? Someone mentions your jowls and you freak out. You tell them to kill themselves. People your age are Mothers. You might not have any but act your age. Geez.

my dick must taste fantastic for how far you're throating it

r ppl seriously complaining about sabrina carpenter covering good luck babe?? accusing her of 'adopting the queer aesthetic as her own' as if she hasn't been an extremely active ally since forever and nothing but respectful when she advocates + supports the community???

The worst thing about fandom is when you're experiencing a media and you're like "I can't wait to read all the fucked up daddy kink people will write about this" and you open up ao3 only to find fandom has decided they're father and son

Tossing this in an ask cause I hate fandom discourse, but no amount of hating discourse could stop me from saying how fucking sick that Dora the Explorer comeback was. I genuinely laughed at that.

I'm honestly being such an asshole this week. Normally I'd take a screenshot of whatever dumbass reply showed up on my post, show it to a friend, go through a round of "Get a load of this asshole," and move on, but for whatever reason my impulse control is shot.

I don't particularly want to be an asshole, even though my natural asshole tendencies are very strong. I've done a pretty good job as an adult of tamping them down. I see other people online who probably get a lot of negative attention on their blogs, definitely more than I do, and somehow they keep their spaces really kind and positive and I am always thinking, I should be more like that, I have got to be nicer, I like being nice, and then eventually I fail. I act like a dick, I feel like a dick about acting like a dick, and I chill out for a bit.

But this morning I keep thinking--if you see a tumblr post that you disagree with, particularly one with less than 1k notes on it, and you decide to write a reply saying, "OP, you are wrong," whether or not OP is wrong, that was a rude thing to do, AND it's begging for an unpleasant response. That's a complete stranger. My posts don't have "change my mind" tagged to the end of them, and even if they did, you'd expect some pushback from OP, particularly if your argument holds no water at all or isn't even an argument, just you stating an opposing opinion like it's fact.

The best thing to do when you see an opinion that is 'clearly' wrong (and especially when that opinion is held by a stranger and doesn't affect you at all) is to roll your eyes and walk away. Block the tag if there is one. Block the author. I block people all the time for having batshit takes. I don't need to be reading those thoughts with my two eyes. Problem solved.

If I walked up to one of those dipshits at the farmers market with the big signs saying "evolution isn't real" and said "Nuh uh," I'd expect them to argue back for the rest of the day AND to walk away from that interaction feeling kinda shitty because what did I expect? For them to listen attentively as I explain the last 150 years of biological science to them? No. They were ready to "clap back" with whatever garbage they've been swilling, and to congratulate themselves for getting a chance to use those practiced clapbacks on the dumb schmuck who thought arguing with a stranger with an entrenched viewpoint could possibly be productive.

In this scenario, I'm the anti-evolution dipshit. I made a post on a public website. To be honest, I didn't expect it to get reblogged. I was vaguing a different asshole who made up a guy to get mad at on a different post of mine, ending up with them accusing me of harassing devs on bsky (and having parasocial relationships with them??) because I posted a meme on tumblr (...???). The post got reblogged by a more popular blog than mine, and the cycle continues as people show up in my inbox to start arguments with me and expect me not to call them a dumbass.

Whelp. My patience is shot, and I called them a dumbass. Can't say these people are helping their cause.

There's definitely some stuff to say about Nightwing: Knight Terrors in regards to how it treats the Batgirls as an afterthought and it feels like there's some sort of missing Batgirls tie-in to Knight Terrors...

But I will say this, I think Cloonrad writes a pretty damn good Dick Grayson.

Look, maybe it's because we've been stuck with Tom Taylor's writing for God knows how long, but it felt very refreshing.

Dick was cocky again, he had more of a personality here than he has had in his entire run.

Plus Scarecrow even tries to make a Nightwing butt joke and Dick is very clearly uncomfortable with it and tells him to shut the fuck up, lol.

Like damn, with a writer on Nightwing currently who has tried to defend that unfunny joke before, it's just nice to see it shot down.

So yeah, am I upset about the Batgirls getting a bit shafted here? Sure, but I do think that this is probably the best Nightwing content we're getting for a while.

just saw a post where you mentionned not liking vaginal sex because it hurts and is uncomfortable and wow i's so rare to find people attracted to men who have a vagina but don't enjoy what society sees as "the right way" to enjoy sex with that organ ! Im in the same situation ! Ive only ever met one other AFAB person who didn't like it, it was a cis bisexual woman. I'm always so weirded out when people assume vaginal intercourse is the way im probably having sex bc it's sooo unpleasant to me. Anyway sorry for this random ask, it's a little lonely out there im glad to know there are other people with vaginas who don't like using it for penetrative sex

I also have a bisexual woman as a friend (tho she is genderfluid-ish) who enjoys/prefers anal, actually it was her I asked for some advice when I was still figuring out how to actually enjoy sex.

People tend to assume this about me too (that because I was born with a vagina I must use it for sex) and then get really confused when I say I don't do that. They also sometimes call me a cocksucker and get even more confused when I say I don't really do that either. It becomes extremely telling that they hear that I was assigned female at birth and have mixed feelings on bottom surgery and thus I have to be using my evil pussy and womanly woman lips when it's like. Nah I just prefer hands and anal actually.
