yourusername welcome back to my postgame penalty box update show: the brady bunch edition!
the boys won 5-2 tonight! and by "the boys" i do not mean brady and josh, because those two are heckin LOSERS! (jk kinda) (i love you both!) (you did lose though to be fair) (mwah!)
with this win, the canucks now have 10 wins in 13 games, which is the fastest the canucks have ever reached 10 wins! we love making history around here, folks!
quinn is at three games since his last penalty and i’m so proud! he's growing (emotionally, not physically)! you know who DID get a penalty? somehow, not brady, who's in the top 5 in the league for most penalty minutes. the man that did crime tonight was your favorite and my "tolerable at best" acquaintance: argus filch's cat, mrs. norris! a.k.a josh!
the three besties were aggressive with each other this game, and i was honestly disappointed that quinn and brady didn't throw hands. he won't fight my rat, but i was hoping he'd tussle with his bf!
brady didn't let me down though! he shoved quinn down in front of the net for zero reason at all <3 and josh and quinny drove each other into the boards (quinn got smushed) and exchanged some shoves! i’ll take what i can get, and i loved it!
way to go, besties! great game! i love you, bradley! i love you way past infinity, quinny! i like you okay, mrs. norris!
xoxo, sissy🤍

More Reading Thoughts: The Epilogue, Version One
The long-awaited sequel!! I’m reading the Epilogue as it appears in “The End of the Third Age”, from The History of The Lord of the Rings as compiled by Christopher Tolkien.
Tagging @lady-merian because she’s been asking for this for a LONG time 🤣
Manuscript A
It’s interesting that “well, I’m back” wasn’t originally supposed to be the end of the story. It’s become something iconic now—the perfect, hauntingly understated ending, harkening back to “there and back again”—but the only reason it seems so abrupt is because Tolkien actually meant to write on.
I like both, honestly. This Epilogue has so much good stuff in it, but it would make an already slow book even slower; “well I’m back” is lovely for what it is. ^-^
“Elanor 15, Frodo 13, Rose 11, Merry 9, Pippin 7.” Just looking at their names and the list of ages gets me in the heart. Argh, I love these kids ;u;
Sam resting by the fire in this study! And he’s surrounded by his kids! And they’re listening to him read the Red Book!! AAAHHHHHH
“…And there was Frodo-lad on the heathrug, in spite of his name as good a copy of Sam as you could wish…” D’aww 8-D Named Frodo, looks like Sam. That’s adorable.
AND THERE’S GOLDILOCKS AND HAM AND BABY DAISIE AND—
*strangled screech*
SAM. CALLS ELANOR. ELLIE.
I’M GONNA HECKIN’ CRY
Confirmed that Merry and Pippin traveled to Gondor and Rohan multiple times in their lives! That’s wonderful!
And now: the Gamgee children being carbon copies of their namesakes begins.
Merry Jr. is inordinately proud of Merry Sr. and wants to grow tall like him.
Pippin Jr. is likewise inordinately proud of Pippin Sr. and insists that Merry isn’t the tallest anyway.
“Is he Prince Peregrin away down in the Stone City, dad?” Oh my word.
First of all: the fact that this little hobbit lad knows Minas Tirith familiarly enough to call it the Stone City.
Secondly: I mean they did call him a prince of the halflings at first—
Frodo Jr. wants to hear about the spider again because he likes the parts where his dad comes in ;u;
And Elanor wants to know about the flower she’s named after!
Elanor: I want to go see my flower! Sam: There’s a prettier one if you look in a mirror. Elanor: Daaaad…
Rose Jr. is worried about the elves going away TT-TT
Sam is secretly very proud of the Mallorn tree in the Party Field LOL
Legolas lives in Ithilien! And Pippin says they’ve made it very lovely, which means he’s seen it! WHICH MEANS PIPPIN GOT TO HANG OUT WITH LEGOLAS AND FARAMIR AND BEREGOND AND BERGIL AGAIN—
Frodo Jr. loves Gimli and wants an axe LOL
Gimli and his dwarves helped to rebuild Minas Tirith! And now they live in the mountains behind it!! And he goes to visit the Glittering Caves every two years! Tolkien thought of EVERYTHING
And nobody knows if anyone’s seen Treebeard lol
ROSE JR. LOOKS FOR THE ENTWIVES WHEN SHE GOES WALKING IN THE WOODS I’M GONNA CRY
Haha Sam shuts down the “its not fair”s so fast, he’s such a dad 🤣
‘Don’t talk like that to me,’ said Sam sternly. ‘If it ain’t fair for Ellie and Fro to sit up after supper it ain’t fair for them to be born sooner, and it ain’t fair that I’m your dad and you’re not mine.’
My dad made up an “it’s not fair” song when I was a kid and this is reminding me of that for the first time in over a DECADE
Le gasp! Sam has a SecretTM!
“A dead hush of expectancy fell on all the children: they watched him as hobbit-children of other times had watched the wizard Gandalf.” Hello yes I will cry
THE KING IS COMING HERE
I love that Aragorn himself won’t enter the Shire according to his own decree
But he has sent! A Fancy ScrollTM!
“Elessar Aragorn Arathornsson the Elfstone King of Gondor and of the Westlands…” Local man has too many names, authorities report
And now Tolkien gives elvish names to all Sam’s kids. Nerd.
“‘Samwise or Halfwise who should rather be called Plainwise.’ So now you know what the King thinks of your dad you’ll maybe give more heed to what he says.” LOL SAM COULD YOU GET ANY MORE DADLY
All Frodo Jr. takes away from this is “MUST INTERROGATE FATHER”
And they’re gonna stay with the King and Queen at the house on the Lake for a few weeks!! HOW EXCITING
Tbh I like the first version of Sam’s conversation with Rosie better. (The one marked with footnote #6, if you have the book.) It gives more character to Rosie, which is in short supply; and I like the idea of her almost prophetically starting to sing on the day Sam is about to return. Something very Elvish and Tolkien about that.
And Sam tells us he is all whole and healed so as to preemptively shut down the angst writers. (But we will survive muahaha >:-D)
“The went in and shut the door. But even as he did so Sam heard suddenly the sigh and murmur of the sea on the shores of Middle-earth.” OHOHOHO NONONO DON’T DO THIS TO ME
Manuscripts B and C
WAIT—in one version of Appendix A Gimli became LORD OF THE GLITTERING CAVES?? HELLO??
EDIT: I have been informed that Gimli being Lord of the Glittering Caves did, in fact, make it into the final version of the book, and I just didn’t pay enough attention LOL
Also “Master Samwise who should be called Fullwise”
“I think maybe the Entwives don’t want to be found” *EYES EMOJI*
Merry Jr. asks too many questions about horses! Carbon copies, I tell ya!
The amount of times Tolkien changed the beginning of Aragorn’s letter to include different names and titles is killing me 🤣🤣

I REDESIGNED THE KNIGHT PAPYRUS BOY!!
Look at him!!! He finna capture you!!! This took me so long but I’m so heckin proud of it omgah.
Anyways, basically I just looked up “Knight Papyrus” and started snatching ideas haha. I also noticed there was a good amount of people who all had matching characteristics in their designs. For instance, the Delta Rune symbol on the shoulder blades (and chest plate, but I didn’t add it to the chest plate), the heart on the belt, and the big lookin’ shoulder blades. I thought the lil’ similarities were interesting, so obviously I had to join the gang.
Also with the helmet- I was looking and I seen some people also had the little spikes on his helmet and I was like “oh what a coincidence”. Then I realized THEY BASED IT OFF THE DANG GASTER BLASTER. So obviously I grabbed that idea and yeeted it on to my design.

i’ve noticed this in more than one post: many people take posts that talk about how uncomfortable self-deprecation is as a personal affront and get wildly defensive and proud(?) about being self-deprecating. just look at the notes on these posts. why do people vehemently INSIST on being self-deprecating even after they’ve been told why it’s uncomfortable, that it kills the vibe, why it’s an unhealthy mindset in the long run, and people’s personal stories? i’m sorry that’s a weird as fuck thing to cling to.
see, here’s the issue: it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. if you believe you’re “heckin trash” and don’t want to change that view of yourself to accomodate for others, people are going to think you’re a total bummer and not want to be around you, thus giving you an actual reason to believe you’re “heckin trash” because nobody wants to hang out with you and your vibe-harshing attitude.
there’s respectable humility, and then there’s offputting self-deprecation. humility that commands respect is not outright said. it is implied through the way one carries oneself.
humility is the opposite of arrogance. having humility simply means you don’t think of yourself as necessarily better than anyone else; it makes others feel like they are valued around you. c.s. lewis said, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it’s thinking of yourself less.”
self-deprecation ironically horseshoes back around to arrogance (especially when people defend their own self-deprecating tendencies) since you are thinking about yourself again. unlike humility, but similar to arrogance, it assumes that you are uneven with others. self-deprecation isn't just stating your own grievances, it's also stuff like making negative judgements about your traits or turning down compliments. how is that not uncomfortable for everyone else when you criticize a trait they also have, or doubt the sincerity of their compliments? the focus has come back to the self and not the other. this is why self-deprecation gets so uncomfortable. you’re not making people around you feel like a valued equal. you’re making it about yourself. and when you reject people’s objective comments and feedback that you are good because you personally don’t feel that way, that’s not humility. you’re actively making people feel unvalued and driving them away.
like have you ever tried to tell someone they’re not worthless/bad/negative thing, and ever felt how uncomfortable it is when they can’t take the compliment even when you mean it from the bottom of your heart because it doesn’t align with how they see themself? doesn’t that feel invalidating? like you just wasted your time with this person? but when someone says, “OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!” it feels so, SO affirming of your sentiment. that’s not being arrogant. i always have this perspective in mind. that’s why i say thank you to compliments and sometimes go the extra mile to explain what that comment meant to me if applicable (i.e. “thank you so much, i worked really hard on it..[bla bla bla maybe a struggling situation from my pov but said a way that doesn’t demean myself], so this comment seriously means a lot to me”) so that the other person feels further affirmed and validated.
people say to do the opposite when they feel like deprecating themselves, to self-aggrandize (“i failed my test i am so sexy etc”), but, while it’s okay sometimes, that’s just as annoying in excess. people need to realize that you can have humility without self-deprecating yourself at every turn. i think the first step is to remove yourself as a subject from the equation. because again, “humility isn’t thinking less of yourself; it’s thinking of yourself less”. instead of going, “i’m so stupid” as though you at your core are an oaf and failure of a human being, you can contextualize it in terms of a temporarily blunder that has no bearing on you as a subject, i.e. “that was stupid of me”. and this is actually a more objective lens. but don’t keep it on yourself. learn and then just Move On. make your negative value judgments of yourself temporary and contextualized. if you can’t contextualize it to some external effect in this way then it’s not worth talking about and ruining everybody’s parade over.
tldr; bitches will be like “im heckin trash lol” and i’ll be like “thats lame nobodys gonna want to hang out with you if you talk like that. stop being self-deprecating it kills the vibe. have some dignity”, then bitches reply “no” and later down the line are surprised when nobody wants to be around them. just put an end to the cycle now. read people’s stories about how stopping self-deprecating humor and thoughts made them and the people around them happier. humility isn’t thinking less of yourself; it’s thinking of yourself less. self-deprecation and telling everyone how trash you are and refusing to hear anything else is closer to arrogance than true humility.

Season 3 had so much focus on Little My and how she grapples with the concept of family and the kind of love and attention she needs I’m so heckin  proud of this little lady!! 
One thing that I’ve always admired about Little My is how her character in all adaptations follows that unbreakable aspect of her. She always seems unbothered no matter the situation and is able to carry herself and push through each problem with grace and a grin. But I love that Moominvalley goes deeper into her character in believable avenues like ‘who is her father and why does it matter to her?’, ‘what is family really like for a girl who grew up having to be the worst of her many siblings just to stand out?’, ‘what happens when she finally receives the love and attention she so desperately needed?’.
This unbreakable title is something she’s had to build for herself after growing up feeling like she doesn’t matter enough for undivided love and attention. She tells herself to assume the worst so the worst doesn’t surprise her. It’s all so very sad, but very simple, Little My has been hurt many times by the family she’s grown up with and she’s only just now learning to let her new family chip away at her walls, and I’m so so so proud of her!
I feel like this season gave her HUGE steps with being at peace with herself, her family, and her upbringing. The Moomins have taught her so much about patience and kindness that she did something I don’t think I would’ve expected from her in an earlier episode of the series: she forgave her mother for who she is--for how she raises her children, and I can’t imagine how much she toiled with her feelings ever since her mother left the first time. The Moomins have shown her time and time again that she is truly loved and a part of their family, that kindness and patience provides the absolute best results as opposed to violence and allowing anger to keep a tight hold on your actions, and all of this has allowed her to find some peace and common ground with her mother.
I’m so overcome with emotions y’all, she’s so loved by her found family and she’s making so many positive strides I’ve cried 3 times already I love her so much. ;A;

There's No One Else For Me But You
For Kanera week day six: "love languages". Set in a canon compliant universe
Rating/Warnings: G (some description of the wound that blinded Kanan)
Taglist: @laughingphoenixleader @accidental-spice @heckin-music-dork @auroramagpie @opalknight @firefoxtessa @day-to-day-thots @kaneraweek
Read on AO3!
1. Receiving gifts
Hera was in the middle of rewiring a console when she heard someone moving through the ship. Kanan must be back from his grocery run, she guessed— and sure enough, a few minutes later she heard a light rap on the door of the cockpit.
The door hissed open a moment later, and Hera heard him step into the cockpit. Not looking up from her position underneath the console, she called, “Did you get everything we need?”
“As commanded, Captain Hera,” Kanan responded easily. “You’d be proud of me— I didn’t spend your credits on any of the tacky t-shirts I found. Even the really funny ones.”
Hera snorted out a laugh. “You better not have.”
“Trust me, I know how to follow your orders,” he said. “By the way, I got you something.”
The tool Hera was using slipped between her fingers, and she barely managed to catch it before it hit the ground. “What?”
“Don’t worry, I paid for it myself,” Kanan said, sounding extraordinarily pleased with himself. “I’d better get started unpacking the groceries.”
The door closed behind him, and Hera listened to the sound of his footsteps receding for a moment before sliding out from the console. As she sat up, she caught sight of it— a singular, perfect meiloorun, sitting in her chair.
Feeling a slight smile growing on her face, Hera reached out and picked it up. She’d mentioned to Kanan a few weeks ago that meiloorun was one of her favorite desserts. 
And he’d remembered. Something about that kindled a spark of warmth in her chest. They’d only been working together for a few months at this point, but she could already tell that Kanan was becoming more than just a coworker to her. He was a friend. And Hera was so glad that he’d joined her in the first place.
2. Quality time
The sound of the music from the radio mingled with the swishing of the water as Kanan scrubbed out the pan Zeb had used to make dinner. On his right side, Hera dried plates and stacked them neatly, humming along with the song.
From out in the lounge area, Kanan could hear Zeb and Ezra snarking at each other, Sabine’s wry voice chiming in every now and then as Chopper’s binary laugh rang out harshly. “How’d we end up with dish duty again?” he murmured to Hera.
“As I recall, dear, you volunteered,” Hera pointed out, lifting an eyebrow at him with amusement. “Something about giving Zeb and the kids a break after how well they’ve been doing lately.”
“Oh, right.” Sticking the pan underneath the faucet, Kanan shrugged. “I mean. Ezra has been doing a good job lately, especially today. He’s really getting the hang of this Jedi thing.”
“Thanks in part to his teacher,” Hera pointed out, taking the pan from him and beginning to wipe it down. “You’ve been doing a good job now that you’ve committed to this.”
“Somedays it feels like I don’t know the first thing about what I’m doing,” Kanan confessed. “But today… today was a good day. And he deserves to celebrate that.”
Hera lifted an eyebrow at him. “So do you, Kanan.”
“I’m here with you,” he told her as a new song came on the radio. “That’s good enough for me.”
She turned rather hastily back to her drying, but Kanan spotted her quick smile. “Still a charmer after all these years,” she said lightly. 
“I do my best,” Kanan joked. “Hey— I can finish this up if you want to head out there, make sure Zeb and Ezra don’t blow up the ship.”
“Not a chance,” Hera said calmly, taking the next dish from him. “Keep washing, love.”
“Yes, Captain,” Kanan said obediently, returning to his work with a grin. They kept at their work together— Kanan whistling along with the song, Hera swaying in time to the music so her shoulder would brush Kanan’s every so often. 
He was by Hera’s side. And he couldn’t think of a better place to be.
3. Acts of service
“How are you feeling?” Hera asked as she set the bandages and bacta spray down on Kanan’s bedside table. The beep of the machine next to her kept steady pace with her own pulse as she glanced at Kanan, who was sitting on the edge of his bed, shoulders rigid.
“Better than last week,” he replied. “But still sore. And it’s starting to itch a little.” His hand lifted up towards the white bandages around his face, then dropped. “Probably shouldn’t be scratching, though.”
“Definitely not,” Hera agreed. “That means it’s healing, though, doesn’t it?”
Shrugging, Kanan said, “Healing was never my strong suit.”
Hera felt a twinge of pain at his dull, uninterested voice, but pushed it away. There was no sense in giving up. “Stay still— I’m going to change your bandages now, okay?”
He nodded, and Hera moved next to him, resting a hand on his shoulder as she reached for the bandage, picking off the adhesive tape carefully. She gently started pulling the bandages free, but she could feel the tension in Kanan’s muscle increase as she tugged the last layer away from his face.
The dark burn slashed across his eyes had begun to fade into scar tissue, as had some of the rawness that had been apparent at first. The eyes themselves were opaque, filmed over, and they stared off blankly into the distance.
“How bad does it look?” There was a hint of concern in Kanan’s voice, mingled with the pain Hera knew he was trying so hard to hide.
“Better than last time,” she told him. “The— the wound is healing well. We should probably put some more bacta on it, though.”
As she grabbed the spray and the bandages, Kanan said, “That’s not gonna bring back my eyes.”
The raw emotion— the frustration, the pain and anguish— cut at Hera’s heart. Setting the bandages next to him, she slipped her hand around his. “No,” she said quietly. “It won’t. But it’ll keep you healthy and getting stronger, and that’s more important than anything else right now.”
Kanan nodded, his expression less than convinced. “Okay. I can do that, you know. You shouldn’t— shouldn’t have to see me like this.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” Hera said, her tone firm. “Not unless you really want me to.”
His hesitation was long enough that she knew the answer, and began work applying the spray, then carefully rewrapping the bandages around his face. Resting a hand on his shoulder, she said, “I have a meeting to attend in a few minutes— I’ll be back with dinner in a few hours, okay?”
“Okay,” Kanan said, and Hera felt him lean into her touch, just a little. But that was enough to bring her hope, hope that he would get through this. “Hera?” he added.
“Yes?”
“Thank you. For all of it.”
Leaning down, Hera pressed a gentle kiss against his forehead. “Always, dear.”
4. Physical touch
Part of being with Hera Syndulla was knowing that she would work herself to the bone if she thought she could help someone, particularly if it meant staying up all hours of the night. Kanan had a number of techniques for dealing with this. 
Tonight, however, he couldn’t quite make himself fall asleep. So he slipped out of bed and made his way into the lounge area.
Hera was still hard at work at the table— he could hear her fingers tapping against the screen of a datapad, her focus so intense she didn’t even notice him coming in. Sitting down next to her, Kanan maneuvered a cold mug of caf out of elbow range and asked, “Do you ever sleep?”
Her surprise zipped through the air, and she let out a startled laugh. “I thought you were in bed.”
“Couldn’t sleep. Didn’t we talk about staying up so late?”
“I— yes,” Hera admitted, letting out a sigh. “But… there’s just so much to do, after losing Atollon. Especially with you and Sabine and Ezra leaving for Mandalore in a few days. I just— I’m trying to focus on work.” She paused, then added softly, “and not missing you.”
Kanan slid closer to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Dropping her datapad, Hera leaned her head against his chest with a sigh. “I wouldn’t leave you if I had any other choice,” Kanan told her.
“I know. But I want you going with the kids. Sabine will need you.” Hera was quiet for a long moment, and Kanan listened to her steady breathing. “I’ll still miss you, though.”
“I’ll miss you, too,” Kanan said, dropping a kiss against her forehead. “Try not to defeat the Empire without us, okay?”
She laughed. “No promises, love.” Settling in a more comfortable position, she let her forehead drop against his shoulder. “I’m not stopping for the night,” she mumbled. “I’ll get back to work in a minute.”
“I know,” Kanan assured her, stealthily locating a blanket draped over the back of the couch and tugging it forward to cover them. Hera let out a hum of pleasure and wriggled closer to him.
“I mean it,” she said, sounding mostly asleep. “I’m about to get up.”
“Stay with me,” Kanan whispered, and he could picture the smile curving Hera’s mouth.
“Just this once,” she replied, and it was a few seconds later that he heard her breathing even out as she drifted off.
He stayed like that for the rest of the night, sleeping on and off, holding the woman he loved in his arms. Something told him that this was the last peaceful moment they would have together for a while, and he intended to enjoy it while it lasted. He’d hold onto Hera, as long as he could.
5. Words of affirmation
“Well, you know how I feel.”
“Boy, I must really trust you.”
“I know you do.”
“I wish I could see you.”
“You could always see me.”
“May the Force be with you.”
“You’ve always been there for me. Whenever I needed you.”
“Kanan. I know what to say now. I love you.”
