Sports that could be made into the niche genre of Weird Sport Media For Free Online Consumption which has only ever been occupied by 17776 and blaseball

- F1 but mixed rally, the track is Whereever and the cars are souped up into whatever the duck runs fastest, if a house is on the track you will simply just have to drive a tiny car

- cycling, second verse same as the first, both are technically team sports but there’s some incentive for one of the team members Specifically to win and sometimes it’s not even the best driver, the cycling version does however avoid using souped up death traps plus it means there’s tactics to being in last (or so my mother tells me)

- extreme water polo, don’t let the sea claim you

Things my mother who has consumed neither blaseball nor 17776 thought would be cool

- skii shooting (idk what it’s called in English but it’s an Olympic sport), she alluded to it not being targets they would be shooting

- kayaking (I believe the water version of cycling/f1)

- figure dancing (I had not the heart to tell her how many yuri on ice jokes would be made if it was a thing)

#online sport #idk how to tag this niche ass genre #i want more of it tho #I’m not far enough gone that I’ll enjoy irl sport fancams #but I’ll stan a fake athlete any day #story ideas

My hc is that not only do Neil and Kevin host their own Exy Podcast as a side hobby but at one point Kevin is explaining a very funny Exy anecdote and the two of them Crack up so hard that the fans realise that Kevin's real non-public persona laugh is filled with cute hiccups and snorts. And that Neil Jostens laugh is adorably wheezy

The public would be OBSESSED (like me)

#aftg #all for the game #tfc #the foxhole court #kevin day #neil josten #exy #tsc #the sunshine court #it started as a way to gush about exy but it becomes the number one exy sports podcast in the world #they someimes get the Foxes or other exy players to guest #the one with Jeremy results in the whole world knwoing about Kevins celeb crush #like lol he was more chill when Thea was a guest 🤣 #neils instigating online wars over his comments #he dont care

the vibes on this hermitcraft tour stream are VERY "the team goes out to eat to hang out after the big game". just. everyone is still excited and wants to talk. but they're EXHAUSTED also and ready to fall asleep onto their plates. you know?

#stream liveblogging #sorry for all the sports metaphors it'll keep happening i played sports in college #and the only big group events i've run since then have been online #......like this DOES has the vibes of 'post-sexyman energy' but that's a far less relatable feeling than 'post-big game' lol.

Modern au Steve not being into video games is out

Modern au Steve who's so good at first person shooters that he annihilates the party every time is in

#steve harrington #momo.txt #he definitely isnt playing the mega long fantasy sci fi rpgs the party is playing #but he enjoys the sports games like the fifa and nba games #and first person shooters like call of duty is where he really shines #he used to play online with tommy all the time and he got REALLY GOOD #like constant first place good #but he never brags about it #so the party always brush it off #until they play a shooter game together and steve destroys all of them to an embarrassing level

I get a lot of asks about training advice and I'm always like "well I am not a professional in any capacity" and also I forget every book I have ever read etc the moment someone asks me, but I remembered at random today that my very talented friend has written a really amazing training book that I think would be especially good for the people who tend to ask me this, bc Bridger has ADHD (LIKE DO MANY OF US) and is therefore really good at breaking things down into digestible chunks! this is one of the things I find most challenging about training so I think this is an extra valuable thing to have in a book.

It's mostly training basics for people who are beginners, but in a way where you can use the info the build a LOT of skills once you grasp the basics, and I really vibe with Bridger's ethics around training as well.

it's called Level Up Your Dog Training by Natalie Bridger Watson and I'm going to provide a couple different links where you can get it.

Amazon link:

Support a small business link:

(Bridger adds: "Also for accessibility, there is a large print paperback edition (Amazon only) and a digitally-narrated audiobook (Google Play only, trying to get it available more places). Am aware of the ethical implications of AI narration and would like to replace this with a human-narrated version when I can, but that costs $1,000-$2,000+ to hire out, so the not-ideal compromise is digitally-narrated for accessibility in the short term with plans to do better when I can.")

Anyway this is a really great book and not recommended as often as it should be bc it's just not one of the standard go-to books (yet!!!) so I thought I would plug it and in doing so answer all the training rec asks I get all the time and am so bad at answering 🤣

#dog t #PLS FEEL FREE TO REBLOG ITS A RLY GOOD BOOK. #other online training content i like include smart bitch dog training #superpup academy #ummm #cogdog ofc but a lot of that goes over my head bc im not a sports guy lol.

to your point about f1 fandom not being that annoying, you’re so right. i’ve been in a variety of fandoms, some (*cough* voltron *cough*) where people literally tried to severely injure other people over ship discourse. nothing in f1 can top that, at least as far as i’ve seen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

YES THIS LIKE....idk the vitriol that does go around in f1 fandom AT LEAST IN MY OPINION is pretty comparable to what happens in other niches of sports fans, just in a different way. like the way the harassment and hatred does proliferate imo, reminds me very much of how like...... non-online cis het men also bully and hate on each other about sports teams and players. not to say it doesnt get intense and deranged, just that its VERY DIFFERENT and dare i say? more socially acceptable- if not acceptable than Understood- than it is to do similar things over something like anime characters or a video game.

I mean the very nature of sports is creating in-groups and out-groups........we're expected to have a level of animosity towards each other, and i think theres a lot more of a level of understanding when fellow sport fans dont like you because of who you support, vs in traditional fandom there is not always that built in understanding of like "oh people who like x will not like you if you like y" and theres i guess a lot less established rules/norms around who is in what group/what's acceptable in that group/etc etc etc..

I think at the end of the day- wether we are talking rpf or not- the annoyingness of sports fandoms is a very different beast, as it is very much based in a media that is completely BUILT on fighting each other, being us vs them, so the people within that fandom have some sort of understanding of the beef that they may perpetrate or receive.........and it is all based off of REAL THINGS happening before our REAL EYES, and i think there is some understanding in that about how real people get things wrong or tell lies to cheat or whatever, because teams are made of real people and people are fallible and biased, the teams themselves are just as human and ever changing as the fandom is...

vs traditional fandom media was not made to be in-fought over, it is purely individuals perceiving the exact same fictional text through different lenses and deciding who is consuming that text right or wrong. I think the drama largely comes from there not being enough compelling conflict within the text, or not being able to deal with intense conflicts within the text, and just like. spewing all that all over the internet. Like we're having moral debates over the actions of villains from a childrens cartoon some days. Be serious.

At the end of the day i think people yearn to be a part of the in group, and fandoms a lot of the time, are kind of just sports for nerds, and i say that as a nerd. But because traditional fandom is not like sports, and they dont get real fights to be invested in every week, they have to just start fights with each other because their show doesnt have any new episodes or the sequel movie didnt get cleared.

#ask #I THINK FANDOM IS A FASCINATING TOPIC..... #all nerds are the same wether it be video games or sports or whatever #but i do think there are different ways toxicity manifests..........especially in online communities

grabbing fistfuls of my own hair rocking back and forth repeating to myself like some kind of fucked up wizardly enchantment you should care about womens sports because its literally the same fucking sport why do i have to bend over backwards to convince you to care about womens sports like at an abstract level it is the exact same fucking thing and yet you cannot bear to possibly watch it unless you think the women are hot or there is some sort of social gain why is it so hard for you to care about womens sports when they are literally doing all of it better than the men

#i stand by my belief that womens sports are more entertaining anyways but i know that is somewhat personal preferences so ok! fine! #but they are the same then! #obviously yes there are legit differences in ~style~ and such based on the way different sports have evolved #ex: female basketballers are statistically better shooters than male basketballers #but like the sport itself is practically identical so why is it so fucking impossible for some people #to get interested in a sport they claim they love #just because women are doing it #i'm not sitting here like 'mmm how do i convince people to watch women's sport' like a legit plot #i'm just baffled i really don't understand #i mean i do understand of course but i'm just tired of it being this way lol #i want to talk to more people who have the level of brainrot i have about women's sports and it feels like everyone i know well #is just not that interested in the women even though they're interested in the men #of course there are people online but i get self-conscious and i don't know anyone well enough to truly go to the depths of my own brainrot #this is just a combination of genuine frustration but also my own loneliness lol #< wayyy more dramatic than it actually is for the record i'm not like lonely lonely #i just want someone who actually understands why i go nuts over this and who i feel comfortable spamming about it 😭 #blah blah blah words

the idea of a Gayest Player In The NHL bracket at all is already in poor taste to some degree bc i get everyone loves to make the “they’re so gay for each other fr” jokes but the condition of the actual league and its actions right now is like. you do understand why calling these people Gay Icons (Positive) for funny haha jokes is just. at best inappropriate timing, yes? but the idea of literally including one of the guys who got pride nights cancelled with his homophobia is just. can we take a minute to realize that hockey fandom doesn’t take place in a void completely unconnected to reality and see that this is just. a Really Bad Look. at best.

#gav gab #saw someone reblog the actual bracket intro post with among other things #‘mom come pick me up they’re calling tseguin a gay icon in 2023’ and like #LMFAO. YEAH. FOR REAL. YOUVE SEEN WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE SEDINS YES? #anyways get outta here with that shit #people have gotten real confident with the ‘they’re about to fuck at centre ice’ thing and saying hockey is a Super Gay Sport #which is a fun joke to make with your friends online ig #as annoying as i find it generally #but you do understand this isn’t real yes #and i know the bracket is not making claims about reality #but what it IS doing is including players like eric fucking staal #in a bracket for Gayest NHL Player #and the real life actions of staal actively make the sport unsafe for queer athletes and queer fans #stop mistaking jokes about hockey players fucking each other or writing rpf about that as any kind of activism #or any kind of actual reflection of the nhl #how do you think this is an appropriate thing to do for so many reasons lmao how are you including some of these guys on this #even before you get into some of the other insane behaviour going on in this bracket existing #‘I didn’t pick the contestants!’ you did you. you’re in charge. #‘just hope they get voted out’ don’t include them at all what’s wrong with you #why do bracket creators always act like it’s some kind of mandatory moral imperative they include every single thing nominated/voted in #you have agency here lmao. use it. fucking spineless. #rpf for ts #adjacent enough anyway #homophobia cw #why would you do this #lmfao the brief scroll of that blog i took the amount of ‘propaganda’ that’s just ‘this guy has friends’ #wild. genuinely wild. #one request id like to make to the liveblogs this year too on a vaguely tangentially related note is #reign in your blatant and unrepentant amatonormativity please #from your local aro

Know it's likely Not That Deep and everyone probably knows this already or something but increasingly troubled by the way that 'joking' in-group homophobic stereotypes feel like they're starting to spread into some people's legitimate conception of what it means to be gay / part of the 'in-group' or community...

#sorry to seriouspost on my 99% fandom blog but starting to get depressed with experiences of online AND IRL queer community #i don't find gay people are unathletic / bad at math / bad at driving / oblivious to flirting etc jokes that funny actually #and i think we should maybe stop perpetuating negative stereotypes about ourselves for the good of everyone #especially when they wrap around into just. reinforcing extant homophobic stereotypes #like we should not think that 'i'm bad at math cause I'm gay haha' is a funny relatable harmless thing to say? #or that gay men don't Do Sports? #or that lesbians are too passive to initiate relationships? #idk just. i'll delete this later but it's starting to feel actively weird and alienating when people say these things #like they're actually just fine or funny or harmless / part of a presupposed group stereotype
