[agdreamtale]

this is kinda weird but what are all of your OC's names? the ones that appeared in this blog so far i mean. (did a little digging before posting and is the green eyelights + hat sans Chanon, and the other one with the cool coral-like yellow patterns around the left eye Wysh?)

Also I'm gonna need their heights, if that's okay. :3

(i like to draw things ' as canonically as fanonly possible ', and if I'm someday gonna make some fanart of your OCs I'm gonna need their heights sooner or later. though i probably mess my facts up half the time.)

ive been following your art since that 'Archer gloves!' post, and I gotta say that your blog and artstyle is like-

so c l e a n

and i've liked basically every post. just to say, I'm a big fan :D

so far the OCs that have appeared are chanon, wysh, and the architect (the guy with the white flame head) chanon is 5'5 (as decided by the majority lol)/(thanks for the correction in the rb) wysh is 4'0 the architect is 6'0

and thank you so much! i know the current story has strayed away from dreamtale but it will come in full circle eventually. i just haven't had the motivation to draw the next answers since the long post drained me for a while. rest assured, the story is still on-going and i'm very grateful of your patience and support!

Bollywood Extravaganzas: When Reel Life Inspires Real-Life Celebrations

In the lustrous world of Bollywood, where larger-than-life narratives play out against the backdrop of extravagant sets, music, and dance, celebrations are unrestrained expressions of joy. Bollywood movies have long been the harbingers of trends in party themes, fashion, and even how celebrations are conducted. Taking cues from the silver screen, many fans dream of adding that cinematic sparkle to their important milestones, particularly birthdays. Let's embark on a journey through the colorful corridors of Bollywood parties and discover how fans can fulfill the fantasy of adding star-studded glam to their birthday bashes.

Bollywood Movies: Setting the Stage for Grandeur

Bollywood is renowned for its opulent wedding scenes, grand festival celebrations, and, of course, its vibrant birthday parties. These extravagant scenes not only showcase the rich tapestry of Indian culture but also the industry's love for grandiosity. The essence of Bollywood parties often includes a central theme, elaborate decor, awe-inspiring costumes, and a foot-tapping playlist of hit songs crafted to draw everyone to the dance floor.

From Reel to Real: Embracing Bollywood Glam

Fans who wish to mirror this Bollywood grandeur at their birthdays may incorporate thematic elements reflective of their favorite films or adopt stylistic cues from iconic characters. But for an authentic touch of glamour and a true showstopper element, envision securing personalized birthday wishes from a beloved Bollywood celebrity. The question stands: How to get birthday wishes from celebrities, especially those from the established clique of Bollywood?

The Star Connection: How to Get Birthday Wishes from Celebrities

For those seeking to infuse Bollywood enchantments into a real-life birthday scenario, the pursuit of a personalized celebrity message is not as far-fetched as it might sound. Thanks to platforms such as Tring, Celebyte, and WYSH, fans can connect with a vast array of Bollywood personalities who offer personalized video messages.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to bringing this dazzling dream to life:

Step 1: Pick Your Bollywood Icon

Ask the birthday person to list their favorite Bollywood celebrities or choose one you know they admire immensely. This could be anyone from the classic charm of Shah Rukh Khan to the vivacious energy of Alia Bhatt.

Step 2: Navigate the Platforms

Explore the websites or apps that specialize in connecting fans with celebrities. Create an account and browse through their list of Bollywood stars. Check their participation and availability for sending personalized video messages.

Step 3: Send a Request

Once you've selected your star, submit a request specifying that it's for a birthday wish. Provide details about the recipient, maybe an inside joke, a notable catchphrase from the celebrity's movie, or how the celebrity has inspired them. This helps in creating a highly personalized and impactful message.

Step 4: Await the Grand Gesture

After placing your request, there may be an anticipatory waiting period before the video message arrives. Be sure to time it to perfection, leaving a buffer for any eventualities.

Step 5: The Reveal

During the birthday celebration, surprise the guest of honor with the video. Make it a central event of the party, and watch the delight unfold.

The After-Party Glow

There’s a quintessential thrill in watching Bollywood stars sending direct wishes and joining in your celebrations, even if it's through a video. Not only will this be a birthday to remember, but it also leaves a legacy of a celebration that matches reel-life exuberance.

The resplendence of Bollywood continues to inspire the grandeur of real-life festivities. By incorporating the thrilling element of customized celebrity messages, you merge the best of both worlds into an unforgettable birthday experience. Celebrate in style, and let Bollywood's glitz and glamor illuminate your special day.

Greg Wyshynski Leaves Puck Daddy

Earlier this afternoon, Greg Wyshynski, the long-time Editor for the Yahoo hockey blog Puck Daddy, stepped down after 9 years. He wrote an opaque post on the blog explaining his exit as the pursuit of “new challenges” and characterized the letter as “really, really weird to write.”

I started reading Puck Daddy in 2010, when there were not many hockey blogs, which started during the 2004-2005 lockout. Bloggers such as Lyle Richardson and the maligned Eklund stepped up to fill a void in coverage they felt was favorable to the owners and offered no valuable source reporting. 

Greg Wyshynski worked for a newspaper and AOL.com covering sports before he took over Puck Daddy, which grew to add more writers such as Sean Leahy and Harrison Mooney. Weekly features such as “Jersey Fouls” documenting fan-made jerseys (and FrankenJerseys) and “What We Learned” differed from newspapers offering traditional beat coverage of post and pre-game write-ups. Justin Bourne had a revolving blog/narrative cataloging his experiences as a minor league player, which had mixed reviews. Wysh made a regular appearance in the comment sections, breaking down a “fourth wall” that kept the morons in check, and made him an accessible figure in a sport populated with pseudo-stars like PJ Stock.

The line in the letter that raised my eyebrows was:

“I’ve always said that it didn’t matter if you loved reading us or hate-read us, as long as you found it interesting to read us. “

Puck Daddy under Wyshynski was the best and the worst of the hockey blogosphere, driving a trail both legitimate and troll-y. The editorializing of Ryan Lambert was out of control and seemingly without overview. One of the writers was canned for harassing women over Twitter. They dipped their toes in analytics and trendy social issues without fully jumping on the bandwagon. 

Before Twitter grew to add every hockey journalist, Puck Daddy was a place for breaking news. After that, I think the coverage went from comprehensive to scatter-brained. Over the years, it lost steam. Writers came and went. 

I can’t help but think Greg Wyshynski is headed for a subscription site like The Athletic. He would do well in a beat role for his favorite team, the New Jersey Devils. The subscription sites are taking off and drawing writers from traditional newspapers and other outlets. Fans are paying a few dollars a month to read them, and my newsfeed on Twitter has evolved to half free sites and half subscriptions sites. The model seems to have failed for ESPN insider, but if it’s all the writers? Maybe. 

We wysh Greg the best.

Calling out goalies, deadline haters and Sabres (Puck Daddy Countdown)

(In which Ryan Lambert takes a look at some of the biggest issues and stories in the NHL, and counts them down.)

7 – The best policy

This weekend, I saw the stupidest thing I ever saw on NHL Network. Which is clearing a pretty high bar, if we’re being honest.

Remember that ear wax vacuum commercial where the guy didn’t know how to use a Q-tip? That guy was extremely stupid. And this was worse: Bill Peters caught a bit of flak from the talking heads whose names I did not catch for saying a goalie with a save percentage in the .870s (at the time) has been bad.

Like, he said it would be nice if he could get a save from a guy who can’t even stop pucks within 25 points of the league average, and for the NHL Network guys that was a bridge too far.

Look man, if your goalie’s having a bad week, calling him out doesn’t help, right? Especially if it’s a good goalie. Everyone goes through slumps and throwing a guy under the bus is just kinda being a jerk. But Eddie Lack’s time in Carolina has been an unmitigated disaster; in 44 appearances over two seasons, he’s on .897, and this year it’s .883. That’s beyond horrible. You could find just about any goalie in college hockey or major junior to do the same thing and it costs you a hell of a lot less that a $2.75 million AAV.

[Follow Puck Daddy on social media: Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tumblr]

I know there’s a whole big goalie club or whatever and goalies are always going to come out for each other and defend the fraternity. But good lord Eddie Lack has been so far beyond inexcusably bad there’s nothing else to be said. Or at least there should be nothing else.

How about this: Over the past two seasons, only five goalies have at least 40 appearances and save percentages below .905. Kari Lehtonen and Antti Niemi (.905 and .902, respectively) are well-documented problems for the Stars. Michael Hutchinson and Ondrej Pavelec (.902 and .901, respectively) get the same criticism in Winnipeg.

So how does Eddie Lack (.897) not deserve to be called out by a frustrated coach whose team can’t get a save and is otherwise very good?

Maybe you argue that calling him out doesn’t accomplish anything even after 44 games. You’re probably right. But to not be able to criticize the guy who’s cost you 16 percent more goals than an average goalie would have? Grow up.

6 – GM meetings

What I love about these GM meetings is that they broadly acknowledge the myriad problems the league faces today.

Reviews are messed up. The offside rule is dumb. There aren’t enough goals. All true!

Then, after that acknowledgement, they also say, “What do you mean we should change them? All those cool goal reviews that spend 12 minutes trying to figure out if a guy had his skate two centimeters off the ice 16 seconds before a goal was scored? They’re actually not a problem even though we all said they were.”

Meanwhile, they’re also kicking around ideas like “What if we just had one faceoff dot directly in front of the goals to increase scoring?” as if that’s not, a) stupid, and b) not the issue. Find a picture of a goalie from 1987 — the era all these old men want so desperately to return — and one from today and you tell me what the real problem with goalscoring is.

The big canard in the whole goaltending debate is goaltender safety. “These guys shoot the puck harder than ever!” Yeah but materials science has advanced sufficiently in the last 30 years to make that not matter. Goalies’ chest protectors can at this point withstand the impact of a puck launched out a howitzer. Same with leg pads and arm pads and everything else. So they don’t also need make a 6-foot-2, 210-pound goalie stand in his crease appearing to be roughly the size of Andre the Giant.

Meanwhile the NHL twirls its thumbs shaving two inches here and there off the width of leg pads saying, “We’re trying to make a difference here.”

Put me in charge of all this stuff and I solve your problems by close of business that day. I’ll only charge you $300,000. Worth the money, in my opinion.

5 – The Sabres

Wysh’s post Monday encapsulated the problem nicely: That blue line is so bad it doesn’t really matter how good the offense and goaltending is. Maybe Tim Murray should have offer-sheeted Jacob Trouba. Just thinking out loud!

4 – Seeing what you want to see

Remember like two weeks ago when everyone had concluded the Bye Week (more like Bye Weak ha ha ha ha ha!) was such a bad thing and ruined so many teams’ seasons? Well now Columbus and Anaheim came out of their bye weeks and won a few games, so we’re right back to, “Actually the bye week is insanely good and everyone loves it.”

I don’t care one way or the other. Let the guys take a week off. Whatever. But my only thing is let’s not draw any serious conclusions about how a mid-season week off affects teams, and…

What’s that? The GMs are absolutely certain to draw conclusions this week and probably change things for the worse based on a sample of like 80 games?

Well that’s a big surprise to me, I gotta say.

3 – Jumbo Joe

My close personal friend Joe Thornton who is so good and strong hit 1,000 assists this week. I can’t believe that’s a real number in today’s NHL.

Jumbo’s finally starting to slow down a bit this season, with only five goals and 36 assists in 65 games, but he’s also 37 and still a pretty damn good center at both ends of the ice (53 percent adjusted xGF%). Don’t hurt ’em Joe.

But damn, one thousand assists in an era with an ever-increasing league-average save percentage? How many guys has he made millionaires? It’s incredible to think about. We’re gonna miss ol’ Joe when he goes, lemme tell ya. Not really appreciated in his time, either. Shameful, really.

[Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Hockey contest now]

He’s one of the best playmakers to ever put on a pair of skates. In the modern age, when it’s been more difficult to score than literally ever, he’s uniquely talented.

Major blessings to Jumbo! I have loved him forever!

2 – Olli Jokinen

On the other hand I wanna pour one out for the career of everyone’s favorite ol’ waffle boy, Olli Jokinen.

Olli Jokinen officially retires as a Florida Panther & subject of world's greatest gif pic.twitter.com/2tfSm458aY

— Sean Leahy (@Sean_Leahy) March 7, 2017

He retired this week at the age of 38, and is, for me, the archetypal B-plus player who could make a difference for your team if you acquired him but who therefore gets overrated and everyone ends up thinking he sucks.

This dude had nine straight seasons of at least 50 points from 2003 to 2012, and therefore got robbed of another season of high-end production by the full-season lockout. That’s solid No. 3/4 forward production, but most of it was done in relative anonymity in Florida, Phoenix, and Calgary.

He was scapegoated and ridiculed in the end but man he was real good at hockey there for a few years, wasn’t he? Just from watching back then, I bet if the deeper-numbers stats existed from his mid-20s, he would have routinely ranked among the better two-way centers in the league.

Y’know what Jokinen really was in the end? The kind of guy you could pick up in your game of NHL 07 or whatever and have him really make a big difference. Like, a nice 85-rated center for yourself who does a little bit of everything, and does it well.

I really liked Jokinen, and all the players like him too. Perpetually under-appreciated right up until he’s not.

1 – Deadline haters

Boy if you thought the trade deadline sucked before this season, you must have felt really validated a week ago. That was by far the worst trade deadline I’ve ever seen, and if you’re looking for someone to blame, turn your lonely eyes to Las Vegas.

Those guys screwed everything up! We hate those guys now!!!!

(Not ranked this week: Really hating Josh Ho Sang for totally legitimate reasons that have nothing to do at all with how he’s perceived in hockey for what are very legitimate reasons also I’m sure.

As long as we’re getting all mad at this kid for wearing the number of one of his favorite players, let’s also not forget how insulting it is that Taylor freakin’ Chorney’s wearing Bobby Orr’s No. 4 for two years. I hope there’s a petition about it I can sign. I’m a rational adult who cares about this stuff because it’s only a reasonable thing to do and for no other reason.)
