find a blorbo!: a tag game for the new NHL season

RULES: Go through the roster of each NHL team and find at least one player that you can root for.

tagged by the legendary @imperatorrrrr ! my knowledge of hockey teams is spotty at best save for my top tier blorbos so just know that players come and go in my mind like ships passing in the night and I am not wearing my glasses as I witness them. If I know them I'll know them. More often than not I will look at a hockey icon and go "who?" 🫣

Anaheim Ducks - Brian Dumolin (Dumo! Former Pens! This is also how I found out he's now with the ducks wtf)

Boston Bruins - Charlie McAvoy

Buffalo Sabres - Jason Zucker

Calgary Flames - Kevin Bahl

Carolina Hurricanes - Seth Jarvis (Harvard shirt with huge arm holes. born 2002 looks like he's 36. Wrote his name with upside down goggles on messily but legibly then went oh hey! that's my normal writing anyway. absolute icon)

Chicago Hockey Team - Connor Bedard

Colorado Avalanche - Gabe Landeskog

Colombus Blue Jackets - Adam Fantilli

Dallas Stars - Wyatt Johnson, Jason Robertson (favourite paper mâché blorbos - two guys with :] smiles and cannot grow playoff facial hair)

New York Rangers - Mika Zibanejad (I learned this summer he's a DJ?? what??)

Ottawa Senators - Tim Stutzle

Philadelphia Flyers - Travis Konecny (tiki bar my fave genre aware fella)

Pittsburgh Penguins - Sidney Crosby (who doubles as the corporate-appropriate "celebrity" crush answer I have on rotation for icebreakers)

San Jose Sharks - Will Smith (I know he just got here but that tiktok of him swinging his bag around was very endearing)

Seattle Kraken - Jamie Oleksiak

St. Louis Blues - Pierre-Olivier Joseph, Mathieu Joseph (joseph bros accidental mutual high sticking moment in front of their parents u will always be famous to me)

Tampa Bay Lightning - Conor Sheary (also largely from his Pens days)

WIP Wednesday

tagged by @captain-of-silvenar!

tagging @sigma-el @caliblorn and @daggerfall

the next chapter of Drals' fic is basically done at this point, but I haven't finished outlining the rest of the next batch so I've been hanging onto it. but here is a preview :)

-

The abyss stretched before him as he looked upon the interior of the cave. It made him dizzy and sick, and he worried he might lose his balance. This was what he wanted, wasn’t it? The comfort of the familiar. No matter if the familiar was a solitary prison cell.

He reckoned with the ghosts of the cave. Old journals. Long-abandoned experiments. Someone once lived here, but it wasn’t a man he felt like he knew anymore. He had tasted kinship and kindness, and it poisoned his heart. He had caught a glimpse of something better, and now, in its absence, he was suffocating. Drowning.

How foolish he had been, to think that he could be allowed to want something more. To dare hope. He deserved this, he told himself. He deserved the nagging, maddening silence, to be surrounded by nothing but ghosts. To be, himself, a ghost. 

He glowered at his desk, piled and cluttered with things he couldn’t bring himself to care about. Looking upon them brought about a deep, seething frustration. With the circumstance, or with himself, he couldn’t say. He needed it all gone. He needed the past out of his sight.

It didn’t feel as good as he thought it might to shove everything onto the floor. Tools and books clattered as glass inkwells and vials shattered and broke. A sob wrenched from his throat as he collapsed in his chair, holding his head in his hands. He succumbed once more to the pain of being alone. 

Are you happy, Dralvayn?

WIP Title Ask Game

I’ve been tagged by @cigarettesandinevitablebetrayal ! Now I have to figure what counts as an individual WIP because I am a Put A Bunch Of WIPs In One Doc disaster. I’m gonna tag uuuh @dogueteeth and @rangerdoubt if you’re interested, I have NO IDEA who else dodged getting tagged so. Anybody else too! Which is nowhere near the number of WIPs i have right now but y'know!! Don't worry about it!!

Rules: reveal the titles of the documents in your WIP folder and tag as many people as there are documents. Let others ask questions about the ones that interest them and post snippets or explain the contents as you see fit!

I’m shit at naming things and I have TOO MANY backburnered WIPs, so a loose assortment from my Fallen Hero folder only. Most of them are not formally named yet because that is almost always the Very Last thing I do with a piece. Whoops. We may also expose my bad habit of writing like 3 paragraphs of something and then promptly wandering off for months at a time.

Fantasy AU

Early Meeting

Farm Mission

look at you to see myself

Reunions

And then we have what's in More Canon Adjacent FH Stuff, which is in fact what I call my all-purpose one shots document. WIP segments of IT include:

Baby Ars Time

Catastrofiend Fightin Hours

Walking to Therapy

Mind Meld

Far Future Don’t Even Worry About It

“Have you considered MURDER is WRONG??”

Nail polish idk

Komodo dragons have iron-tipped teeth, new study shows

Komodo dragons, the world’s largest species of lizard, have iron-tipped teeth that help them to rip their prey apart, according to new research. The metal is concentrated in the cutting edge and tips of their curved, serrated teeth, staining them orange, scientists wrote in a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Komodo dragons are native to Indonesia and weigh around 80 kilograms (176 pounds) on average. They eat almost any kind of meat and are known as deadly predators...

How I found out about trump getting shot

[clownboybebop]

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know
