travis dermott + everyone fighting the cowardice of the league.

we keep on!

#just something i've been thinking a lot a lot about.... debating whether to post smth like this or not! #like obviously i love and commend travis for his serious commitment to advocacy + support but #clearly it's such a huuuuge league/system and general hockey culture problem wrt conservatism and exclusion...... urgh feels so entrenched #being qpoc in a mainstream sports sphere for the first time really gives me so dang much to think about #travis dermott #arizona coyotes #hockey art #yjart #nhl pride #nhl #hockey

Something I made in a post that I think'll be lost in the texts + expanded a bit more

These panels are chronological events following AFO's pursuit of Yoichi's Factor.

AFO could tell if people were related through a Quirk. AFO and OFA also are connected to each other. In Kamino, AFO could confidently tell All Might that OFA had been passed on, so all that All Might had left were leftover embers.

When AFO killed Kudo, he asked where Yoichi was. He knew Kudo wasn't the holder of Yoichi's Factor at that time. He also realized when looking at Yoichi's hand that Yoichi's natural Factor was so weak he hadn't registered its existence. This implies AFO could sense Factors since he was young, and Yoichi's natural Factor never stood out to him.

Below are three panels of Bruce (right to left). Bruce fought, AFO killed him, and looked away in disinterest.

When he beat down Bruce, he already had a sense that Bruce didn't hold the Factor anymore. That's why, rather than yell in his face to figure out where it is and interrogate for a long time, he pulled up his corpse to inspect him better.

Bruce's corpse isn't resisting anything. Look at his feet; AFO literally dragged him. Bruce is already dead. Yet he's looking for something from him.

Bruce doesn't have anything for him. Nothing AFO wants.

When he looks away, he's dismissing Bruce, because Bruce doesn't hold Yoichi. AFO is wondering where Yoichi is, because he knows now that he's out there somewhere. Thus the pensive look to the wind.

After Bruce is killed, AFO and Garaki meet for the first time. Shinomori has Yoichi at this time, and AFO never comes close to him, so AFO is lost. He doesn't have any leads, and Yoichi has vanished.

Now that he knows Yoichi can transfer, it's possible for Yoichi to be kept out of his reach for the rest of his life. So meeting Garaki and having access to Life Force gives AFO more time to search.

Yoichi is still missing for 18 years though, because Shinomori is in hiding. AFO couldn't find him during the Fourth's turn.

This is why, when he encounters Banjo, the Fifth and active wielder of OFA [Yoichi], AFO is smiling.

It's been a long time, but Yoichi's in reach again. He knows where he is now. And this is the first time he's encountered the current holder.

Thus his shock.

[Yet... you never behave as I wish.]

It was the first time a Quirk wouldn't let itself be stolen. This was AFO's first encounter with this wall: it doesn't transfer without the holder's consent, and requires willpower stronger than all the holders combined to override that.

The holder is never going to give him that consent. To override the collective willpower, he's going to need something greater.

Meanwhile, look at Banjo's arms. Shinomori is the catalyst to tip OFA over the edge, that an unprepared vessel will be destroyed by how strong the Quirk is.

Banjo's arms are both messed up below the shoulder, just like Midoriya used to be. And like Midoriya uses Blackwhip to reinforce himself and stay standing, Banjo uses Blackwhip to hold his fist / arm together. His hand is being wrapped to stay in a fist.

(What I think is) The reason the limbs turn red, and then purple, from breakage, is a matter of blood vessels. Small, itty bitty, fragile things.

Using OFA breaks the whole area, from bones to blood vessels, causing internal bleeding. Thus the redness. But breaking those vessels again in a second go turns the area purple, because it causes instantaneous internal bruising.

But En wasn't ripped apart by using OFA. There's a cut on his thumb that lines up with the path of destruction; AFO sliced him in half. Otherwise, he wouldn't have that cut if it were just OFA.

It's hidden by the text in [... you never behave as I wish], but depending on where you see this chapter, you can see he got cut on the thumb. It's clearer where we see Nana take his hair from him, in [I only want... to make you mine!]

I have a post in drafts about En being cut in half rather than it being because of OFA, but I also hit an image limit, so I'm gonna end here. Ta.

i don't know how to fully articulate this but it makes me a little sad every time a video essayist or podcaster just Assumes their audience has Obviously Heard About X and doesn't bother to explain who or what that is... like of course not everything's gotta cater To Me but like let's assume i DO live under a rock (or rather: i'm autistic and european) and have never heard of this musician and have no idea what place they hold in popular media. ok thank you please continue with your essay

#i love the podcast you're wrong about a lot. but #there's been so many times i have dearly wished for a very quick summary of Who Or What The Thing They're Actually Talking About is #i gotta put together through context clues if a person was like. a sports person or a musician or. something else #idk. a lot of the time it's just the americacentrism of it all. #sometimes it's tiktokcentrism. someone who's like ok let's discuss this hotly debated topic and it's something that's completely #unheard of outside of That Particular Sphere #i mean i suppose a lot of posts i write also refer to a whole lotta stuff people have never heard of #but i also don't assume my audience to be familiar with obcure references to norwegian tv shows or whatever

hot take, heavily penalizing teenagers for causing each other head injuries, even unintentionally, is good, actually, and the nhl could stand to take a page from the iihf book on the way that standard is upheld (for all ages).

“how are you gonna prepare them for the nhl if the rules are different?!” this is not an nhl run event. this is not the george parros department of player safety or the gary bettman league. this is not the ‘nhl prospect practice and preparation tournament’, this is the world junior hockey championship. it is its own entity unto itself and for its own ends, it is not just a stepping stone for your favourite budding superstars to gain prestige and fanfare before they move on to the only “big league” that north american hockey fans consider significant or meaningful. it plays a larger role in the development of not only players, but also of entire hockey training programs in countries where hockey, even men’s hockey, is an under-funded or less established sport.

not all of these kids are going to go on to be nhl players. ALL of them should get the chance to grow up to be adults who don’t have their quality of life degraded by lingering head injuries and cte.

miss me with your tough guy bullshit. good grief.

#if you start being dumb on this post I will turn reblogs off #i coach a sport where we’ve also had to wrestle with increased awareness of head injuries #and how that changes our procedures and gear #I was an athlete in our no-helmet era and I am a coach in our helmet era now. I have seen both sides #I have sat at the center and in both sides of the helmet debate within my own sport. I have taken the education modules. #I have seen my friends get severe concussions right in front of me as a teen and the effects of that #I have sat watch on a concussed child as an adult. waking her every three hours. to make sure *she could still wake up* #every head strike is a potentially irreversible injury. brain cells don’t grow back no matter how macho you are. get a fucking grip. #world junior hockey championship #world juniors

If you make a figure skating au you're contractually obligated to make everyone intensely toxic and weirdly homophobic in the unique way only skating clubs and liberal suburbs are

#vio.txt #figure skating #this is mostly a joke do whatever you want lmao #but also. get some of that rink politics in there!!!! the girls are always fighting!!!! #wheres the mom who runs the club exhibitions and gives girls spots based on how pretty they are #wheres the fucking. crime family vibes of the 4 main families that run a rink #perhaps i am thinking about this again as i am debating with myself if buying $600 used skates on ebay is worth not having foot damage #i did NOT dedicate over a decade to this sport for it to be romanticized like this /j #but also im tempted to make a figure skating au if not just to draw crowley in jonny weir outfits

idk if you are a big handball fan, but can I request nyo norway vs. nyo france fanart? 🇫🇷🤾🏼‍♀️💥🇳🇴

The final today was such a suspenseful watch!! 😫😭 So sad, but all respect to France, they played amazing and were simply just better. The semi-final against Denmark was nerve-wracking tho 😳

#hetalia #aph nyo france #aph nyo norway #hws norway #hws france #aph sports #hws sports #hws nyo france #hws nyo norway #aph norway #aph france #I was debating whether I should draw anything handball related #this ask decided for me!! 😂💖 thanks! #drawing this made me think #what about trans nyo norway? 🤔 she's so beautiful #and I like making Norway a bit genderfluid or gender ambivalent - especially further back in history #trans nyo norway is a good fit for that too #also it's been so long since I drew nyo France??? #I was reminded how much I love drawing her ✨

(Edit: did end up sending this to Gianni. After more than FIFTEEN attempts[which is just sending it in a dm, not like a full submission process or something. twitch dms just never send] over the course of the past 2 weeks, eventually just the link went through, but not the explanation where I told him what it was and that he was free to hunt me for sport for sending like 8 pieces of fan art in the last month. So, sarcastically, knowing it wouldn't send, I said "Oh, yeah, twitch??? You'll send the link but not the explanation?" AND THAT ONE SENT. FUCK ME.)

Designed and printed a frame for the signed print I got at PAX. It now hangs up on the wall behind the couch I lie on when I'm on my computer, next to another of my prized possessions, the cinema size lightbox poster for Strange Magic that one of the animators of the film found in a storage closet in Singapore and gave to me(it's also signed by several of the film's animators).

The frame is supposed to be one of the portal gates from Quake Champions, which is one of the main games that Gianni streams during Fraggy Friday as well as being the game he was playing on the first stream I attended. On two of the corners are the two versions of his pngtuber mascot.

Normally, the portal gate itself does not glow in those spots in game but there's usually a bright glowing portal in the middle so I added some glow in the dark paint in a few spots to capture a bit of the effect.

It was a bit of a comedy of errors printing and assembling this thing and there were several misprints, including a section that printed far too thick. I pulled the smiley bomb off of the thick print, put a foam backing on it, painted it, sealed it with my new iridescent mod podge sealant, and stuck a magnet on the back and now it's part of our ever growing whimsical fridge magnet collection.

(edit: added better pictures of the glow in the dark parts)

#debating whether to send this one to Gianni #on one hand I think he'd find it neat #on the other hand I've now sent him like 8 pieces of fan art since his last stream #and one additional one I only sent to Marieke because I was already so ashamed of the art spam #and at some point I feel he'll have no choice but to hunt me for sport #getgianni

henry 🤝 zack

hanging out with an eccentric inventor that exclusively wears coveralls

#i'm rewatching the suite life and i'm picking up on some insane parallels #like they're so specific??? #they've literally both been on a game show and said while standing on the game show set #that they can't fight a girl #only to promptly get their asses kicked by said girls #i mean they both also ended up winning in the end but still #and that's just one. there's so many more #they've both traveled to an alternate dimension that was caused by a storm. and everything was like. backwards #the only time we've ever seen either of them drive a car it was a toy car #(i don't really count the truck because Hen wasn't really driving it. it was basically self-driving) #altho that one is kinda up for debate because I know henry took the wheel a few times when ray was being stupid #and zack may have driven his dad's red sports car in the movie?? it's been so long since i've seen it #i can't remember if we actually saw him driving it or just parking it #whatever. even if that one doesn't count there's still more #being involved in cheating during a spelling bee without actually being in the bee #being like 14 and heavily flirting with an older girl they have no shot with #having only one canon girlfriend that lasts more than one episode but ends up leaving them in the end #i know i've said it before but their canon superpowers are both speed based #i KNOW i've brought up the ghostbusters costumes 6 million times #i need to stop cause honestly i could go all night but who has the time

This just in: according to terf's, we women can now not show empathy to men who are in bad places mentally because according to them, its bad for women to do something....just because they found an ad by the Samaritans that features a woman finding a s*icdal man and helping him, no gender focus at all.

#the fact that terfs have actually made it out like women can't do anything at this point.... #like yeah its not good to go and talk to random strangers #but also like the ad is literally promoting mental health support #its not gender focused at all #its literally just a woman seeing a man clearly in a bad place #and deciding ultimately after debating to help him #but terfs still somehow lost their minds over it #its not even trans related holy shit #their outrage is just showing they really arent for women's rights at this point #because a important right is a woman thinking for herself and shit #but terf's expect all women to go along with what they say and think #and in the process make women out to be weak and unable to do anything #as evident by their reactions to women in sports whenever a trans person is also in the sports

My biggest dog community pet peeve is this:

Person A: a valid critique on a breed/community/sport/ethics

Person in said breed/community/sport: this is hate! *refuses to have mature discussion.

#dogblr #please learn to take constructive cricisim #dog community 2k23…. #I feel like too many people make an entire community be it breed sport etc or even a side of a training or breeding debate #a core aspect of their personality #so any critique on such is taken as a personal affront #it is not hateful to point out ~polite~ valid critique of said things #like ‘despite what old fashioned breeders have done in the past this dog type DOES need health testing’ #is not hate #nor is ‘this breed has a color breeding problem’ or ‘this sport encourages overstimulated dogs’ #I’m honestly tired of this attitude in general bc no real discussion or progress can be made in any of these avenues #not even going to touch the training philosophies debate bc woof
