Anybody concerned about this hasn't been around hockey players at an ice rink, nor their unattended gear. All of it stinks—the people, the gear, omg the skates?!? GET IN THE SHOWER, players, and jesus do something about the gear too.
I'm choosing violence
Some of you talking about how Ilya showers so much so it must be OCD need to take a step back and consider that the baseline of which you are judging against as "so much" - i.e. your baseline - is that you are dirty.

I take no leave of you, 2025. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

Wrapping up my final project of the year, & that brings me to 2,025,783 words edited in '25. And just over 31,000,000 since I started freelancing in '13.
I love my job & I love Romancelandia. The world can be awful; I'm grateful for the hours I get to spend in stories with happy endings!

I do think that criticizing these folks' looks is the lowest-hanging fruit—they're monsters no matter what they look like—but also TIL that Karoline Leavitt is 28. 28?!?
Hugest props ever to Vanity Fair for this photo of Karoline Leavitt showing her lip injection marks. I needed a smile today.

this reminds me of the Bridgerton response and how people were so confused that the main characters *changed* after season one, like writing essays about why that was a bad choice
which seems like a logical thing to them, but an *insane* thing to say to anyone who understands genre romance.

Gasp-inducing moment in this ep as we discover it's rassle not wrassle. Why did I, too, think it started with a w?!? My word nerd brain is broke!
The end of the year is nigh, and it's our holiday romance novel episode! We're talking about a collection of romances that are entirely new to us (except for the one moment where Sarah talks about that old McNaught short story that installed all her cold-weather romance buttons).
