I actually don't give a single shit about cis women's identity-worship feel-good ego-stroking over Professional Women's Sports as a feminist project and I hope the entire exploitative enterprise of professional sports—a monstrosity which dangles carrots over the heads of poor and marginalized families to put their children through a wood chipper of social isolation and pressure to perform past their mental and physical limits to the point of injury and disability without even Paying Off for the vast majority of its victims—is burned to the fucking ground

hey hypothetically speaking do you think if we all signed a big enough petition we could persuade staff to remove nazztyjocks' blaze privileges? because apparently blocking someone only hides their own posts and doesn't prevent them from continuing to flood everyone's timelines with hockey player yaoi posts that they blaze from other blogs

with all due affection i am taking the word "twink" away from the Captain Laserhawk fandom until it can be used responsibly

it’s so funny/awesome how irresistibly I now as an adult gravitate towards aesthetics and self-presentations that appalled me as a teenager

Inside the sibling matchup between Brady and Matthew Tkachuk and their all-star sister, Taryn

According to Chantal, Matthew and Brady were “always, always, always” competing hard in things roller hockey, basketball and even a made-up game called “trampoline football” that just consisted of the siblings throwing a football and body checking each other on the trampoline in their backyard.

“It was almost a joke in our family,” she said. “You know, they’d go out and play roller hockey and we’d be like, ‘OK how many minutes until they come in and somebody is complaining or fighting?’ And sure enough, somebody would come in complaining, and then they’d be back out five minutes later playing again. They just always were each other’s playmates and just competed all the time.”

When asked if there was one particular fight, or moment that stood out, Chantal joked that there were too many to just pick one.

“Oh god, it happened kind of regularly,” she said laughing. “I mean, I’ve replaced windows from hockey pucks. I’ve had to patch walls from mini-stick games that got a little physical with body checking each other into the walls. So there’s not really one that stands out because it was sort of the way they were all along. They just played hard and had fun.

“They always played mini-sticks in the wives lounge too,” she added. “I think the other wives with no kids thought I was crazy because (the boys) would usually end up rolling around the floor tackling one another.”

Brady remembers the brotherly fights fondly.

“Oh yeah, there were a bunch of fights she had to break up or we’d come in the house flying around on our rollerblades trying to get at one another or me trying to get away,” he said with a laugh. “It’s a lot of good memories, and I think it made us both who we are today.”

“It’s hard not to be everywhere you want to be at the time, but the boys understand that their sister’s stuff is important too, and this is a big tournament for her this weekend,” Chantal said on the phone from Tampa. “They keep checking in. We have a family group text chat and they always want the updates on how she is doing.”

“I am Taryn’s biggest fan,” Brady said. “She recently committed (NCAA Division I) to play for (University of Virginia) and we are all super happy for her.”

Brady and Taryn are especially close because when Matthew left the house to join the U.S. National Development Program, they only had each other.

“They’ve got a cute, sweet bond,” Chantal said. “But both the boys are really supportive, and she knows it and I think that makes her feel pretty special.”

Brady and Matthew have become well known for being exactly like their dad on the ice. And well, Taryn isn’t too different. In some of her highlight videos, you can see her skill, physicality and knack for “accidentally” running into opposing goalies.

“She’s a Tkachuk,” Brady said with a big grin.

It’s not hard to see where she gets it from either. When Brady and Matthew were competing in the driveway or body checking each other on the trampoline, Taryn was often right in the thick of it with them. If she wanted to play, she had to compete hard. And that’s followed her onto the field, just like it followed her brothers on the ice.

Currently spelling the name “Jamie” wrong 95% of the time because I’m trying to talk about both Jaime Lannister and Jamie Tartt and they don’t spell their names the same way.

Vahl managed to draw a lot of attention and gain a lot of fans with the power of goth milf abs... Can Maz do the same with casual butch rizz? Only time can tell... (Probably not cause she's a weird tall frog lady)

My opinions on the Wayne kids favorite siblings:

Dick: this is like asking a parent to pick their favorite child because he's so much older than the rest and I'd actually have to think about it so I'm going to pass like he definitely would if anyone asked

Jason: so based on didn't try to kill them counts, Duke is winning, in the heart of the new52 it's Tim, I'd say it's Dick before the new52 (hey he at least offered Dick the position as his Robin before trying to kill him) and probably Dick again now with the annual crossovers they've had

Cass: it's 100% Duke, before it was Duke she didn't even care, I'd say Dick and Tim (the only siblings present at the time) were tied because both had flop eras in their relationship with her (Tim with the hitting on her thing, Dick with being a jerk during Batgirl 2008) and nice moments (she steals Tim's stuff, Dick acted out Cinderella for her) but ultimately both didn't interact with her a ton though she did see them as family

Tim: excluding new52 it's not even a competition, it's Dick hands down, do i have a Dick and Tim reading list in my drafts? Yes. Is it unfinished because they have so many good moments together and it's hard to compile all of them? Also yes

Duke: it's 100% Cass, just read Outsiders 🙏

Damian: it's 100% Dick, i don't have anything else to say
