#and then Micah is like ‘please do not’

[pixiesfz]

ohhh would love a rivals to lovers for teagan if you're up for it x

oh hell yes.

bruins suck t.m x r

plot: you are the leading striker for USC and you can’t help but catch the eye of your rivals goal keeper

warning: none atm but we will see

“You are a legend!” Jane cheered, jumping on your back, followed by others as you smiled yourself.

You had scored the winning penalty for the first UCLA verse USC match of your senior year, your yell of joy being clouded by smoke from the cold night weather.

The game had been at a deadlock 1-1 from the first half, neither team having a ball go into the net into the second.

USC were a bit more competitive than UCLA, your coach was a bit tougher and he had been worse since you came back from the last season.

This game was very important to you, whereas it was an opening match for the Bruins.

Your teammates finally got off of you as UCLA started to line up for hand shakes, with a giddy smile on your face you went to the back of the line.

Happily you shook the hands of the UCLA girls knowing they knew you were the girl that secured your win.

You also knew them, at least the seniors sharing some smiles until you reached the end to their goal keeper.

Teagan Micah.

With you a striker and Teagan a goal keeper you knew eachother faces, and a face she had.

You would never ever admit it though, she was thick and through UCLA and you were USC.

Your mother, father and brother hand gone there and you were finishing the legacy.

“Good game y/l/n finally got it into the net”

“At least I got it in when it mattered”

Teagan smirked, she loved working you up after a game, Win or loss

You knew what she was doing, you always did but you let it happen knowing it made her feel better a bit about herself.

“You guys going out to celebrate?” She asked and you looked back to your friends who were laughing around, your coach watching from afar, a smile nowhere near his face.

“I uhm- I think so” you said, your eyes darting between them and Teagan “You think so?” She asked and you nodded before realising you were speaking nicely to the opposition

“What you tryna get an invitation?” You asked with a smile and she shook her head “oh please a night with you I could only imagine where that would lead us”

“Not in your bed at least”

“Oh so you suggest yours?”

You rolled your eyes “how many comebacks you got in that head of yours?” You ask and she smirked again

You wanted to kiss fight that smirk off her face.

“Depends how many insults you got” she said before both of your names were called out for interviews “Just remember who won tonight Micah!” You yell on your way to your smiling team.

“I don’t know what I enjoy watching more you and Teagans relationship or you winning the game” one of your teammates perked up as you rolled your eyes

“Bruins suck”.

You all went to a local frat party that night meeting with some of the UCLA girls that you tolerated, rolling your eyes when you saw Teagan walk in behind them.

“Jessie why’d you bring your dog” you said pointing at the girl who smiled “I think you’re forgetting your in my college”

You rolled your eyes and looked at Jessie who shrugged “sorry” You wrapped your arm around her “It’s alright just keep her on her leash”

“I heard that!”

“You were meant to!”

The party was already in go when you all arrived, your game going later than usual and your friends waiting for you to get ready as you liked to take your time.

Teagan joined you and Jessie quickly after, both of you relatively shorter than the Australian.

“You look nice tonight” she said and you smiled “and you look like you just showered and grabbed the first thing in your closet”

“Sounds about right, are you trying to impress anyone?” She asked, Jessie dropping from under your arms, not being able to bear the tension.

“Well matter of fact I’m a girl with needs so yes” you replied smugly “who?” Teagan asked “anyone who manages to get me to like them, I’m a picky girl”

Teagan scoffed “So I hear” she started “You break all the pretty girls hearts over at USC” you laugh when you reached the door “let’s just go inside Micah”

With a free day of school and training the next day you started strong with your teammates, bruins girls not too far behind you.

You found yourself talking to a girl you forgot the name of as she talked about her basketball she had the next day.

“So if you’re off would you like to come watch?”

“Sorry Kazza she has plans unfortunately” a voice popped up from behind you before you felt the voice wrap her arm around your waist.

“Oh uhm sorry Teags” she stuttered before turning to you “maybe next time” she told you and you nodded, anger bubbling up for the girl beside you.

You watched the girl walk out of sight before you rolled your eyes, turning around and grabbed the Australian by her stupid dress shirt.

She let out a surprised moan before allowing herself to be taken by you, only to find herself thrown into the pantry.

“Wow you are stronger than you look” Teagan said with a smile

“Well am I angrier than I look” you deadpanned and the Australian stepped back “Oh cmon I was saving you, that girl humps more people than a bunny”

You stepped closer to her “Teagan I am under a lot of stress right now and I just really wanted to fuck someone I honestly didn’t care who!” You told her, whacking her on the chest after which she laughed at.

“Oh do not laugh at me as if I haven’t seen you talking to other girls at the party” you scoffed and she waved her hands in surrender “Oh so I got your attention now?” she smirked and you rolled your eyes.

“Teagan” you groaned, leaning into her, your head hitting her chest as you felt the vibrations of her small laugh, making you smile, unapologetically getting used to your position as she used her hands to stable you on your waist.

You fell into a comfortable silence, both of you enjoying the embrace, something you had never done before with each other.

You felt the urge to stay there forever.

“Y/n?” Teagan said and you looked up to see her staring down at you a different look in her eyes as you both seemed to sober up.

You both stared at each other, almost analysing every freckle on her face before you stared at her lips, meeting back to her eyes as you saw her look down at yours.

“Teagan?”

Your voice was sweet, heaven to the Australians ears as you were asking for permission to which she nodded at, squeezing your body tighter to hers.

You lifted your hands from her chest onto the back of her neck before you both lent in, it felt like a thousand years before your lips met but when they did it felt like fireworks.

The snap in your tension from all these years had broke as you moaned into the kiss “fuck” Teagan whispered as you pulled on her baby hairs.

Your hands scratched up and down her back as her hands travelled around your ass, squeezing it hard, smirking into the kiss as you let out a whimper.

Pulling away to take a breath Teagan looked down at you.

“Should we go to mine and help this little stress problem of yours”

[woefulrest]

Haii ！ It's me、 Lolita。 

Firstly、 I'd like to address the allegation of the hate anons。 None of those are me、 I do not feel most negative emotions besides sadness && things alike to that。 I feel no hate to anyone、 I care for everyone I meet and don't。 You all are special to me in your own ways。 

But there are people who follow and stalk my new friends && people I know and then decide to use my name as a cover。 This has happened for months and I wish they'd leave me and people I once knew alone。 They aren't my protectors、 I don't condone their behavior and I never will。 I want nothing but the best for everyone。 ／gen

Now、 onto the rest。 I'm being honest when I say I completely forgot most、 if not all the triggering content of my source。 I haven't reread my source in a long time so I geniunely forgot。 I consume a lot of media with such topics to cope with my own experiences so I personally am not affected by them at all。 I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable from that。 

We met at a bad time、 I was still a mess from losing 4 of my closest beings and was trying to cope。 I needed some sort of escape to distract myself from it all and you were it。 For a short short time you were my FP but that quickly snapped。 I was attached to you and became indifferent to how my actions could affect you。 I apologize for that。 

I thank you for calling out how I acted and I wish that you forgive me、 but I won't force it。 Forgive me if you want、 it is up to you completely and I'm content with whatever decision you make。 

I'm sorry for how my actions have affected you、 I was neck deep in a delusion that I didn't even realize。 I thought I was in the right、 that I could do no wrong、 that I was someone who was so holy and correct I deserved worship and adoration。 I know now that isn't the case。 I fucked up horribly and I'm so sorry Micah。 

I'm happy this has finally happened、 my delusion would've just continued getting worse && I would've become much worse。 I needed this and I'm so happy it happened、 I'm free and can own up to the fact I'm a bad person。 I'm working on myself now && I'm becoming better slowly。 I apologize again、 I fucked up royally and now will suffer the consequences of my actions。 

— Yours truly、 Lovelet。

The fact that you can even drop a fucking typing quirk to make a shitty apology! Even if the hate anon’s aren’t you it’s 100% connected to you. You have basically admitted to using ME, a living , breathing person as a coping mechanism is fucking insane! You should not be on the internet if you believe you can do no wrong and deserve to be worshipped and adored ?? You need to talk about this to someone and I mean that. This ‘apology’ REEKS of manipulative language. Please do not try to contact me ever again after this , I do not want to hear what you have to say and I simply do not care.

#I’m actually sick and fucking tired of this shit #sorry for strong language btw dude I’m so fucking pissed off

[brothermoth]

Some of y'all are grown ass fucking adults who didn't pay attention in English class and make it OUR problem now. No, somebody is not a bad person for liking a villain character. Human morality is not black and white like that, and all you are doing is stripping writers of our chance to make you think for once in your goddamn life. Antagonists play a role more than antagonizing. They're meant to tell you something about yourself, about the world, about relationships.

Just because I think a character is interesting will never ever mean I condone or agree with the things they do. It's fiction, in real life I would despise them, but because they're not real I can toy with them in Google docs like a little puppet. This is not the 1600s anymore where you're terrified to make one wrong move lest you be sent straight to hell do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars.

If you're going to be an avid consumer of media, at least learn how to analyze it. Don't be reactionary xitter users, please?

--this is about red dead redemption I'm sorry--

BUT Micah is a bad person. We all agree. We shan't defend the things he does or believes because despite being unfortunately average opinions of the time, his actions do little but hurt the people around him.

YET he's just some guy, at the end of the day. He's a reflection of Arthur, of who he could potentially have been if his father hadn't been hanged and had kept him around. Arthur has the same potential to be Micah as Micah has to be Arthur. Hell, his brother left and started a family, he could've done so as well. The game is about choice. It's about actively choosing to do the right thing, even if the right thing is a bit questionable sometimes. You cannot in good faith aim your staunch moral opinions toward this game. You miss so much nuance and important conversation that the writers wanted you to have. Arthur isn't some golden retriever good boy, he's done terrible things and acknowledges that. He beat a man with a terminal illness to death over like thirty bucks, and he thought nothing of it until he got sick himself. Arthur had his chances to leave too, but he dug his heels in the same as Micah did, he refused to take that opportunity and resigned himself to being a violent arm of the gang.

Kill the puritan worms in your brains guys. Please. Use the thinking meat, that's what it's there for.

[solarisgod]

It aren’t about anyone here, but while it's already been stated on guideline, to make a personal psa in depth, if we notice the Starwake System and especially Micah are being infantilized / overly sexualized / excessively underestimated, it's a hardblock. A prominent pattern we notice is when most prompts we're given from a mun involves Micah being comforted / assisted, which we personally find it demeaning. Especially as an Asian individual who experiences all of these three aspects in the rpc / on the internet and especially in real life, I'm really not in the mood to let our muses, especially my most beloved Asian OCs, be subjected to such treatments.

With Micah in this case when it comes to infantilization and the underestimating, they are extremely emotional and sensitive as they can be childish and dependent, just as I am too, but no muses should be always babying and underestimating them. Micah is quite powerful and skilled, and they were quite known to be highly aggressive and wrathful when they were younger--- they CAN be so as wrath is actually their biggest vice, believe it or not, it's just they actively choose not to / try not to due to experiences and mindsets while they had gone through sessions with both their personal therapist and alter therapist with Phoebus who helped them find ways to manage their anger issues and intrusive thoughts. There's just so many layers and factors to their "childlike" traits that I can write essays on, but basically, their traumas and lack of certain experiences and treatments and having certain needs make them the way they are. I'd never write characters as silly or childish to poke fun or coddle and people shouldn't either nor narrow characters into one trait because they happen to have foolish or childish traits.

Being small and petite or emotional and gentle, what have you, should not make one a weak person and I really wish more folks can understand that, truly, speaking out for both characters and people.

Chow

@themerrywhumpofmay day four: “Shoulders back, eyes on me.” 

Movie marathon | Choking | Forced feeding

Takes place about three days after Diego receives his new pet. 

Part 1 | Part 3

Cw: vampire whumper/dubious caretaker, pet whump, refusal to eat, forced feeding, captivity, dehumanization, it as a pronoun, background lady whumper, Stockholm syndrome like thoughts for past whumper, fear of death.

“¿Qué haces, chandoso?”

Sometimes when Micah closed his eyes and listened hard enough, he could hear Miss Silva’s voice, repeating like the broken Luis Spinetta record Micah had once scratched and earned a rather memorable whipping for. More often than not, he didn’t even need to try, but only turn his head a certain way and feel Miss Silva’s palm on his jaw or the sting of a backhand.

“Stop that. I’ve trained you better than this.”

It could be night or afternoon. There was no way to tell in his windowless enclosure. Micah had long since given up on trying to keep track of the hypothetical days he’d been with his new owner. The only reference points he had were waking to the always dark room or when his new owner, Diego, he’d called himself, arrived to unleash him. Sometimes there would be food waiting on a tray at the foot of his bed.

“I should have listened to my friends. They told me to get a real cachorro, pero no, no, I didn’t listen. You know who else doesn’t listen? Tell me, Chow. Who never listens to me?”

Once there was a banana and some toasted bread on the tray. The next day there were two burned fried eggs and something that may have been mashed potatoes. It was always a different combination, never a pattern to it. But Micah was a good pet. He may have a new owner, but he remembered Miss Silva’s trainings. 

She would be so proud of him, wouldn’t she?

“Buen chico, now you’re remembering your manners.”

Micah was so, so hungry. But he could be good. He had to be. 

His wrists were sore. His owner kept him tied to the bed from time to time, only breaking the leash to let Micah walk around his enclosure for a bit or use the small bathroom adjoined to the space. It was an incredible reward to use a real bathroom and drink from a faucet rather than a bowl—and don’t get him started on the lack of a cage, the privileges were almost overwhelming—and Micah was definitely not about to make Mr. Diego think he was ungrateful, heavens forbid complaining about something as honorable as a leash. 

This leash is a privilege, chandoso. Remember that. I would not waste my time with a pet who did not deserve to wear my collar.

He remembered his trainings like a lifeline and welcomed Miss Silva’s memory lest he screw up and give Mr. Diego a reason to take away Micah’s treats. The hunger grew until Micah could only fall into a stilted sleep to distract from the aches. It was unpleasant, but Micah had suffered worse. And besides, the rewards always made up for the pain.

Tap-tap. 

Cli-ick.

Micah sucked in a breath as the door to his enclosure turned. Best behavior, best behavior. 

“Good evening, little one.” Mr. Diego stood in the door, another tray in his hand. When he set it on the bed, Micah quickly averted his eyes. Two oranges and a bowl of what looked like sweet grains. 

“Best behavior, Chow.” 

“Today we’re gonna try something different.”

Micah tried not to react. He liked the easy tone of his new owner, the melodic Spanish slipping off his tongue reminiscent of Miss Silva. What he did not like were those words. What had he done wrong already? He hadn’t ate anything like a good pet, so why—

Mr. Diego was still speaking. “You haven’t been eating the food I’ve laid out, and while I will be the first to admit I don’t know everything about, you know—“ Mr. Diego waved his hands in same vague fashion, laughing at some joke Micah did not understand—“it’s common sense that humans have to eat something every day. Even children know that.” Micah couldn’t make sense of the words so he didn’t try. His brain fuzzed out somewhere after you haven’t been eating, and Micah had to quell a proud smile that his new owner noticed his manners. Maybe he wasn’t in trouble after all.

“Hey, sweetheart, are you listening? Eyes up here.”

And just like that, the broken record. Scratching, scratching—

“You’re not a wild animal, Chow. Don’t act like it. Head down, shoulders back, eyes up here. Are you listening?”

Micah was listening. He was. He was not a wild animal, he was trained, he was tamed, he was a good pet, (he was so hungry), no, he was going to be good and earn his treat—

Snap. Micah’s eyes shot up to Mr. Diego who now stood next to the bed, head tilted down at his pet. Mr. Diego slowly retracted his hand where he’d clicked his fingers. “Hey, now. Let’s get these ties off you. I’ve got some better ones coming in but they’re on back order at the moment. Supply chains, you know?” His lips twitched in a smile. “Forgive the pun.”

Micah did not know. He waited patiently while Mr. Diego broke the leash on each wrist. Better ones or not, his new owner seemed to have an endless supply of this kind. Maybe Mr. Diego was as rich as Miss Silva. It was hard to tell in Micah’s enclosure, but he vaguely remembered passing a sprawling driveway the night he’d been transported.

When the leash was gone, Micah tensed. Mr. Diego had never waited around like he did now. Either the tray would be at the foot of the bed, or it would not be. 

Watching his owner from the corner of his eyes, Micah realized. This must be the final test to show his new owner Micah’s manners. If that was the case, Micah was set. Miss Silva may be—Micah blinked away the thought—but he would make her proud. He would. 

“I’m almost certain I know there won’t be an answer to this,” Mr. Diego spoke as if more to himself, “but I may as well try anyway. Will you tell me why you haven’t been eating, little one?”

Little one. Micah quite liked the term. It was different than Chow. 

Mr. Diego waited. The silence stretched. 

See. Micah was such a good dog. Maybe Mr. Diego would call him that name again. 

“Of course. Alright, erm.” Mr. Diego hummed before snatching up one of the oranges and started to peel it. It only took but the first swipe of his claw-like-nail to demolish a quarter of the orange, peel nearly intact. 

Micah stopped a laugh just in time. Silly master. People can’t eat dog food. 

“Well, that was a bust.” Micah’s owner grumbled to himself and picked up the other orange, still whole. The humor that had bubbled in Micah’s throat quickly died when Mr. Diego reached out his hand as if to give Micah the ball shaped fruit. 

“I need you to eat for me, sweetheart. I don’t know why you haven’t yet. Faria doesn’t think you could be allergic to everything I’ve tried so far, so I need you to either tell me what’s wrong or I’ll have to feed you myself. And I think we both can guess how much I’d rather not do that.”

Sweetheart, Faria, allergic. It was a jumble of mishmash lost in the record of eat for me, eat for me, eat for me. 

“I haven’t given you permission yet, chandoso. What pet eats before its Mistress? If you can’t remember a simple rule, maybe the cage will remind you.”

“Hey, hey. What’s wrong? I don’t know how to help you if you don’t speak up, but there’s no—“ “Stop that. Dogs do not speak. Head down, shoulders back. Eyes on me.”

“—reason to start crying, sweetheart.” Micah’s owner rubbed his own face, irises the color of autumn leaves deepening in thought. Miss Silva’s were—had been (no, don’t think about it)—a darker shade of currant, almost black when Micah screwed up. “I don’t know what’s wrong,” he said again, “but I think food will help. You and me both, that is, because even I’m not a dick enough to feed from you when you’re this…”

If Mr. Diego finished his sentence, Micah didn’t hear it. What did Mr. Diego mean, feeding from him? Micah must have heard wrong. Because Micah was a pet. Micah wasn’t food. Didn’t Mr. Diego have the right animals for that? 

Good dogs were pets. Bad, bad animals were food. 

Unless….

“I promise I do not want to hurt you,” Mr. Diego was saying as he gave up on the orange and brought the untouched bowl over to Micah. “But this is for your own good, little one. Open your mouth for me. Shoulders back, sit up now.” Shoulders back, eyes up here. You’re not a wild animal. Bad, bad animals get their blood drank and thrown away. Won’t you be a good Chow?

The second his new owner forced Micah’s jaw open, Micah could only cry out. Of course he had no claws or fangs like Miss Silva or Mr. Diego to protect himself. But his new owner was far too strong for him to even consider struggling anyway, and the horror of the situation was only finally hitting Micah in full force. He was supposed to be a pet. That’s what he was trained for. 

Not food.

Micah broke the number one rule. 

“Sir, I-I can be good. Please.”

He spoke. He did, but…wasn’t he justified? Miss Silva hadn’t given him permission to eat (but Miss Silva’s…no, don’t think, you can’t think about that) and now Mr. Diego was going to make him disobey. 

Mr. Diego’s eyes grew wide. “Would you look at that. So you can speak."

A tremor laced Micah’s heart. He didn’t dare commit another infraction. How long had it even been since he’d lost spoken? 

Micah waited for the slap or the claws to come. If Micah feared right, would Mr. Diego use his fangs? Of all the things Miss Silva used to reprimand Micah, she had made it clear what Micah’s purpose was. 

But now? Micah was so very lost. 

“Scare easily, huh,” Mr. Diego muttered. “If you can be good, why are we doing this the hard way? Oh come now, there’s no need for that.” 

Setting the bowl down on the bed’s side table, he cradled the back of Micah’s head with one hand, all strong muscle and sinew keeping Micah in place. Micah remembered how Miss Silva would grab him similarly. Instead of Mr. Diego keeping Micah immobile, though, Miss Silva had a preference for yanking Micah by the hair until clumps fell out in patches. It had grown out in the recent past, but maybe Micah’s new owner wouldn’t want to keep it that way.

“Alright, shhh. Wipe that look off your face, little one. I’m doing this for your own good, you know.”

With his other hand, Mr. Diego reached down and pinched Micah’s nose to halt the airflow. For the first few seconds, Micah used all his willpower not to struggle. It was instinct to try to pull back, but what is instinct to a trained dog? 

But Micah was not like his superiors. He was more than aware of his own weakness before this figure, and that was disregarding the fact he’d had nothing to fill his stomach but water in the past however many days it had been. Unable to grasp what purpose his new owner intended for Micah, on top of his already weakened state, Micah lost the battle quickly. Chest burning, lungs aching, Micah could only drop his mouth in desperation and gasp for air. 

But there was hardly a reprieve because only a second later, Mr. Diego was forcing the first spoonful of sweet grains down Micah’s throat. The thought of it not staying down was enough for Micah to clench at the bedsheets, stomach curling in fear. It never even crossed his mind to try to push away with his hands now freed. 

Micah was eating.

Micah was a bad, bad dog.

“Swallow, sweetheart. Stop crying, you’ll choke. You need to eat.” 

And everyone knows what happens to bad animals. 

I want to be good. 

I need to be good.

Please. 

"You’re lucky, you know,” Miss Silva liked to say, the words a brand in Micah’s mind as the next spoonful burned a hole down his throat. 

“You’re lucky that I only call you Chow.”

#thank you for asking! <3 #micah hale #lyra fairbanks #does micah know lyra is dangerous? yes. likely to kill her in her sleep? also yes #would she still risk it all? fuck yes (john who?) #micah would bend over backwards for lyra #bonus fact: lyra is also the only one in the cult who could ever get lilith to behave #lilith doesn't listen to her husband #she doesn't listen to the father #she won't listen to her best friend faith #she just laughs when john tries to tell her what to do #she's not scared of the judges or the chosen #but if lyra gave her a Look she'd fall right in line and be all 'yes ma'am please love me'

Hi guys I am curious about something; has any other in the kääryleet or joker out fandom experienced getting anons pointing out typos and text errors in your posts/art?

I have had it happen twice now and while I tell myself to appreciate that somebody takes the time to let me know i also feel a tiny bit hurt and pointed at as the person only see my mistakes and not the art itself

#i know the saying that you are only as good as the weakest part pf your art #and that so i should be ready to have things pointed out #i try #and maybe this is a stupid post to make #and i sound like a grumpy old man again #please dont tell me if i do #i would love to have a good day not being pulled down a self concious hole #might delete this #micahs thoughts

Obsessive yanderes who can’t stop thinking about their darling. Their thoughts are consumed by them at all times, unable to think of anything or anyone else, no matter how much they try. But why would they want to think of anything else? Their darling is all that truly matters to them, nothing could even hold a candle to how ethereal they are to these yanderes.

Obsessive darlings who learn everything they can about their darling, listening in on every conversation they can just to find out another detail about their lives and interests. Yanderes who will immediately find a way to relate back to what they’ve learned, desperate to be able to converse with their darling over things they like.

Obsessive yanderes who insert themselves into their darling’s life, whether they like it or not. They’ll cling to their darlings wherever they go, happily chatting their ears off while savoring every second in their presence. Theyll be over the moon if their darling reciprocates their affections, deluding themselves into believing that every smile, every moment they spend together is a sign that they belong with each other, that their darling already belongs to them.

Obsessive yanderes who spend an unhealthy amount of time scrolling through their darlings social media accounts, studying every single photo and video until they can recite the tiniest details from memory. Yanderes who save every piece of media their darling’s appeared in and keep them in a folder saved on their phone, even if it’s from other people’s posts.

Obsessive yanderes who start stalking their darling when the overbearing need to be around them gets too much to handle. Yanderes who follow their darling home from work, from hang outs, from chores, yanderes who learn everything and anything they can about where their darling is going and when so they can keep an eye on them. They never let their darling see them, oh no, that would scare them away! But they’re always there, watching.

Obsessive darlings who have a whole shrine of photos and belongings from their darling, all taken without their knowledge. Who cares how they got them? All that matters is how dedicated and devoted they are to their darling, no matter how odd it may seem to others. Yanderes who add more to the shrine when they can, desperate to have more of their darling in any way they can have them, at least before they get to be with them.

Obsessive yanderes who will do anything to be with their darling. They’ll change everything about themselves, they’ll become a whole new person if it means their darling will give them a second glance. It doesn’t matter that they’re completely destroying themselves for the sake of someone else, nothing matters more than their darling, nothing. Of course, most of the time they don’t have to change a thing, but if it came down to it they’d be willing to do whatever it took to insure their darling stays with them.

Please…stay with them.

Obsessive yanderes: RAIN, Leo, SASHA, Micah, Gwen, KEITH, Dave, BRIAR

When: April 3rd to April 14th. The schedule here will tell you when games are taking place both in your local time and venue time.

Where is it taking place?: Utica, New York

Where to watch:

For the first time, we will have ALL games broadcasted in USA and Canada. I am not sure how many games are going to be broadcasted outside North America, but we can reasonably assume they will at least carry their home country games

TSN will carry all games in canada

NHL Network and ESPN+ will carry a mix of the games together. See The Ice Garden's Michelle Jay's tweet for the schedule of which games are where.

SVT (Sweden)

Discovery (Finland)

Czech TV (Czechia)

Magenta (Germany)

TBS (Japan)

Swiss TV (Switzerland)

If you are not in any of these countries, or you are but are struggling to find a way to watch, please feel free to DM me and I will do my best to find you something

What is the tournament format?:

There are two divisions, Division A with the five ranked teams going into the tournament and Division B with the next five. Each division plays a round robin style ranking round, and at the conclusion the bottom two teams in Division B will be relegated, while the rest automatically make the quarterfinals. Quarterfinals will go A1-B3, A2-B2, A3-B1, A4-A5. In addition to the finals for gold that will take place, there will be a bronze medal game and a fifth place game for ranking. Standings will use a three point systems.

Who is in each division?:

Division A: USA, Canada, Czechia, Switzerland, Finland

Division B: Sweden, Japan, Germany, China, Denmark

Who are each teams?

Here is where it gets long. Below the cut I will tell you each teams roster, how they did last year, their reasonable goals, notable roster changes, and three players to watch. I will do my best to keep this informative, but brief.

USA

Roster:

(Text version available here)

2023 Result: Won Gold

2024 goals: Win gold again

Notable roster changes: This team continues to go very very young. Abby Roque is the most notable roster omission here. Top defender Lee Stecklein is also not on this roster, due to her taking a break from the National Team. Amanda Kessel was also left off, but she has not been active within the last year as a player, so not entirely surprising.

Three players to watch: Grace Zumwinkle has been one of the stars of the PWHL so far, and is likely to get more responsibility on the national team than ever before, so keep an eye on her and how she may translate her successful season to the tournament. Rory Guilday may only be 21, but she is heading to her third senior world championships, a long time favorite of the team USA coaching staff with her shutdown defensive skills who they'll hope can take another step this tournament with Lee Stecklein absent. Joy Dunne is the youngest player on this roster, just 18 years old coming off a 24-18-42 season in Ohio and a national championship. This will be her first senior level tournament, and I'd expect her to get ample offensive opportunities.

Canada

Roster

(text version available here)

2023 result: Silver

2024 goals: Gold

Notable roster changes: Micah Zandee-Hart is the most surprising one after being on the roster for a few years. Claire Thompson is absent as is Rebecca Johnston, but that is more expected while Thompson is finishing medical school and Johnston has not played in the past calendar year. Cousins Nicole and Julia Gosling join the team after strong rivalry series showings.

Three players to watch: Natalie Spooner is the front runner for PWHL MVP, so everyone will be watching to see if she continues to score at the rate she has been. Expected number one overall pick in the upcoming PWHL draft, Sarah Fillier, will be playing in her last showing before the draft happens as she finished out her college season. Nicole Gosling was the highest scoring defender in the NCAA this year at Clarkson, going 14-25-39 in 40 regular season games, so seeing how she impacts this blue line is a must watch.

Czechia

Roster

(Text version available here)

2023 result: Bronze

2024 goal: upset their opponent in the semifinals and make the finals

Roster changes: The bad news is top defender Dominika Lásková is out with injury. The good news is star goaltender Klára Peslarová is healthy unlike last year, as is blueline mainstay Tereza Radová. Alena Mills retired from the national team. Kristýna Pátková did not make the team this year, in her place comes Boston University commit Anežka Čabelová who had a stellar U18 worlds. Karolína Kosinová did not make the team, in her place is HV71 assistant captain Klara Seroiszková.

Three players to watch: 17 year old Adéla Šapovalivová was the highest scoring u18 player in the SDHL (Sweden's highest level league) this year and one of their top scorers in general going 11-18-29 in 32 regular season games. She was also a key part of the U18 team that upset Canada in the semifinals to advance to Czechia's first ever u18 final. With Mills retired, she will get more minutes at her third (!!!!) senior worlds. Next up is Klára Peslarová, and if you're not familiar with her game, she is straight up a top five goaltender in the world. She just came off a stellar season with Brynäs IF in Sweden where she had a .935 save percentage in 20 games, and has been consistently stellar on the international stage as well like when she had 55 saves against the united states at the olympics. Kateřina Mrázová is a fantastic playmaker has been a bright spot on a Ottawa tam that has struggled to find itself, and is also one of the most veteran members of this squad. If they win, she'll have to lead the way.

Finland

Roster

Text version available here

2023 finish: Fifth Place

2024 goals: Bronze

Roster changes: Two of their key offensive pieces Elisa Holopainen and Michelle Karvinen, are back and healthy this year! Susanna Tapani is also back on this team. Those are three absolute big pieces that completely change this roster for the better. A few depth roster forwards were left off in their place, most notably Kiira Yrjänen. Defense has more shakeups. Sini Karjalainen is a notable omission and long time defender Rosa Lindstedt retired. Eve Savander, Oona Koukkula, and Siiri Yrjölä slot in.

Three players to watch: I've consistently been a very big Elisa Holopainen fan and I think she's one of the best players in the world and not talked about nearly enough. Just as she began to really shine in the international stage, she got hit with injury, but as she's come back with year she dominated Finland's league going 32-25-57 in 19 games. I think I've put her as a player to watch like every year I've done a preview and I'm going to keep going it. Finland has faced a lot of questions about their goaltending following Räty and the team going their separate ways, but right now, it is Sanni Ahola's crease to lose. She was stellar in the three games she started last year for Finland in the world championship and was solid for st cloud state with a .935 save percentage in 17 starts this year. With Lindstedt's retirement, Krista Parkkonen will see more minutes, coming off a breakout sophomore year in a university of vermont program that's developed a decent amount of international blueliners.

Switzerland

Roster

(Text version here)

2023 result; 4th place

2024 goals: bronze

Roster changes: quite a lot of shake up. no Caroline spies as their mainstay backup, Alexandra Lehmann takes her place. No Sarah Forster, who wore an A and led their defense last time around. She only played 7 games in SWHL this year, so likely injury is at play.

Players to watch: it is, of course, the Alina Müller and Lara Stalder show until it isn’t. So, besides them, the players to watch are Andrea Brändli is another “top five goaltender in the world” to know, sporting a .937 in her first year playing in Sweden post a stellar college career. 18 year old Ivana Marie Wey just had a great year playing pro as Stalder’s teammate and will be important for the next Swiss wave. With no Forster, Lara Christen will take on a lot of the top defensive minutes most likely.

Sweden

Roster

(Text version available here)

2023 results: sixth

2024 hopes: return to group A

Roster changes: no Sarah Grahn which isn’t entirely expected but still a big change, in response Ida Boman gets the call. No Fanny Rask or Olivia Carlsson, who retired.

Three players to know: Ebba Hedqvist is a 17 year old elite center coming off a great performance at worlds and has an eye for playmaking that will be critical for Sweden. Maja Nylén Persson is the #1 defender of team Sweden that has consistently been the top defender by points in the SDHL and won defender of the year in 2022-2023, and she is only 23 years old. Another part of Sweden’s insane center depth is Lina Ljungblom, who will likely play in Montreal next year and had 46 points in 36 regular season games. In the various tournaments/friendlies that Sweden has played leading up to this (ie five nations cup), she has 10 goals in 15 games. These three players are truly some of my favorite in hockey right now

Japan

Roster

(Text version available here)

2023 result: 7th

2024 hopes: return to group A

Roster changes: honestly we mostly running this back. One or two u18 add ins but overall the same as 2023

Players to watch: stop me if you heard this before but Akane Shiga is very good. The PWHL Ottawa player is the only player from Japan to score against the USA, and will continue to be japans biggest threat. Another big player is Haruka Toko, one of the SDHL’s top scorers this year who had established herself as a top talent in the last two years. This year, the 27 year old had 13 goals and 30 assists in 36 games in Sweden this year. She was one of seven players in Japan to play in Sweden this year, a year that saw a new high in Japanese players going overseas to play. That also includes my last player to watch, Yoshino Enomoto, who played in switzerland and still put up around a point per game on a team that struggled (they folded in the offseason then came back and built their roster late and were ultimately relegated, but she was a bright spot in her first season there)

Fun fact: did you know three pairs of sisters play on this team? Akane and Aoi Shiga, Haruka toko and Ayaka Hitosato, and Rio and Riri Noro

Germany

Roster

(text version available here)

2023 Results: Eighth

2024 Goal: Make quarterfinals and avoid relegation

Roster changes: Both goalies behind Abstreiter last year, Chiara Schultes and Johanna May, did not make this roster with Hemmerle and Loist taking their place. The d core remains the same besides Daria Gleissner taking Heidi Strompf's place. National team vet Marie Delarbre is absent with injury, Sonja Weidenfelder did not play hockey this year and her status is uncertain, and Anne Bartsch did not make the roster. In their place we have Emily Nix, Lilli Welcke, and Lucia Schmitz.

Three players to watch: Luisa Welcke was with Germany last year, but has a second season in the NCAA under her belt and a nice depth player performance at Boston University. She will have more chances to show off her offense this tournament than in the NCAA, and I'm excited to see what she can show. Jule Schiefer had a revelation this year in the German league. From last year where she only scored 4 goals in 20 games, this year she scored 22 in 24. Let's see if she can continue this at worlds. Nina Jobst-Smith will play big defensive minutes for Germany after finishing her fourth season at Minnesota Duluth, this time serving as an assistant captain, and was nominated for 2023-24 All-WCHA Third Team. She's a two way defender who will be taking on big responsibility for Germany as she has in the past.

China

Roster

(Text Version available here)

2023 result: Promotion from Division I

2024 goal: Make quarterfinals and avoid relegation

Roster changes: Oh boy. So, like, a lot of people, and here is why: up until this tournament, China allowed dual citizens not born in China to play for them. This includes some players you may know from PWHL/NCAA like Leah Lum, Hannah Miller, Rachel Llanes, and Tia Chan. Going into this tournament, they changed the rules and those players will not be eligible, so it is a significant roster shakeup.

Three player to watch; This team is very young. Yifan Wang is 16 years old, and in her international debut scored 10 goals in 5 games in the WJC-D2A U18. This is obviously a gigantic step up in competition and very hard for a 16 year old to be playing against adults on the highest level stage of women's hockey, so I don't imagine she'll get a TON of ice time, but she is worth looking out for. Xin Fang is the veteran and star of this roster, who had 2 goal and 2 assists in the teams D1A tournament that earned them their promotion. 17 year old Dartmouth commit Grace Zhan is who I expect to be their starting goaltender. Born in Beijing, she spent the past year playing Minnesota High School Hockey and put up top numbers in a league that sees a lot of NCAA recruits.

Denmark

Roster

(Text version here)

2023 Results: Promotion from Division I

2024 hope: Make Quarterfinals and avoid relegation

Roster changes: Long time national team star and centerpiece of the team Josefine Jakobsen will no longer play for Denmark, though she will continue her club career.) Otherwise, despite some depth changes, it is mostly the same lineup.

Three players to watch: Frederikke Foss had a great year at Shattuck St Mary's u19 program and has committed to UMaine, and may be able to spark some offense Denmark will desperately need without Jakobsen. Silke Lave Glud will also be expected to carry the offense after her stellar year in the Tier 2 league in Sweden, and lead the way for younger players as one of the most experienced members of the team. Goaltender Emma-Sofie Nordström's performance at the D1A worlds was a big reason for their promotion, and she is coming off a great sophmore year at st. lawrence university where she had a .931 save percentage in 36 games and 7 shutouts. If Denmark wants to stay in the top division, she will need to steal a game for them.
