Let it all out...

Shoot Conor Sheary onto the moon. He should not be playing with Sid.

I'm so over Letang's bullshit and I can't ever say anything because everyone is so in love with him.

Dear hockey media, STOP USING KNOTTED when referring to a tied game or series. I'll knot you.

If it's not complete, freaking don't mark it as complete.

I was doing some stats fiddling on AO3 and I realized that no HRPF fic has broken 1000 kudos since the details of the Patrick Kane allegations came out, which makes me wonder how many of the quieter people in the fandom said fuck it and moved to greener pastures.

Looks like the Sharks are the team I end up hating because of Twitter this year!

No, I didn't unfollow you because of that post of yours that was somewhat critical of my team, I actually agree with you to some extent.
I unfollowed you because you kept on posting again and again and again how many followers you've lost so far because of that comment and how people just can't handle the truth and oh boy, aren't my team's fans just oversensitive and why should you be on Tumblr if you can't handle other people's opinions and oh now you've lost that many followers already, aren't people silly.

Can the first person original character fics stop? Or just the original character fics. They aren't even well written.

Wow I used to not care about made up games/boc scores in fic and rolled my eyes at the people who noted for that in their A/N but now I do care. I got thrown out of a fic.

Give me something to read, darn it!

No, fandom friend, the Coyotes are not going to trade last year's third overall pick for this year's fourth overall. Especially with their lack of center depth.

Who actually reads this player/reader shit? Seriously. They tell you more about the writer than anybody else and if you actually pretend it's you, you're just going to be going "nope, that is not what I would do" the whole damn time.

Even when I was a teenager who had secret self-insert fic, I would never have assumed other people would also be able to insert into my self-insert.

Some idiot thinks it's "precious" Sid gave an interview to an Asian broadcaster to grow the game. Yes, isn't he so wonderful for thinking of The Asians amidst the joy and blessing them with his boring-ass interviews where he says nothing at all.

I like the guy but ffs.

This is about fandom in general, not just hockey, but when are we going to stop writing fics where people threaten~ whoever their friends are dating. Does anyone actually do this irl and if so are they completely insane? Stop the "hurt him and you're dead" bullshit, I'm begging you.

Related to some of the wanks we've been having recently:

What to do in an exchange where you dislike your recipient from namespace and are also judging them hardcore for including RL children/wives in their prompts?

Just in case I forget my tl is constantly reminding me that Sidney Crosby is the best person that has ever graced this earth with their presence.

Re: Fandom Venting

Not sure sure if this belong in a vent.

I general enjoy watching hockey, doesn't matter who's playing, but I've been very annoyed at seeing the Pens in the final. Leading me to not watch much of the SCF. To see the rating makes me wonder if people share the same views. Or NHL is bad at marketing itself.

Also, Sharks aren't an exciting teams compare to their NBA counterparts.

Which as a fan of hockey this makes me worry about the future of this sport.

So, at first I didn't want to blame the person who posted the original photoset but then I went and tracked down the original combine headshots.

Givani Smith's combine headshot: http://www.gettyimages.ca/event/combine-640514097#givani-smith-poses-for-a-headshot-at-the-2016-nhl-combine-on-june-2-picture-id537676010

Smith's headshot in the photoset: http://66.media.tumblr.com/6a9ddd759709c9a5f479b855ec617114/tumblr_o8807iMXT41unj05go1_500.png (Middle of the second last row.)

His skin isn't that much lighter but it is still lighter and like. The background is ridiculously different. Yeah, in the original his background is a little lighter than the picture before his in the getty gallery (William Bitten's.) but it's not fucking sky blue.

It actually bothers me that all the hockey podcasts done by women that I've listened to are so bad. Not in their content, but as podcasts. None of them keeps a regular posting schedule, which is actually important for a podcast. They all have terrible sound. If there are two people, one is loud and the other can't be heard. None of them seem to edit.

It like they’re treating podcast in like posting an unedited, rough draft of a fic whenever they feel like it, when podcasts are such a different format. For hockey podcasts, the dudes are just doing better.

TFW the post title turns out to perfectly describe (some of) the nonnies within.

Yet another genderswap fic ruined by a female player inexplicably playing for the men's team in the Olympics >:(
