Today is the day!
Stick Handling is officially out in the world and available at all of the usual places.
The hockey romance of Rachel Reid’s Game Changers meets the fashion world of The Devil Wears Prada.
For fashion journalist Devon Waters, success brings opportunities to interview the best up-and-coming designers. His interviews showcase new trends and add a much-needed sense of refinement to the pages of Yonge Street magazine—if he does say so himself.
When an unexpected and unwelcome assignment takes him off the fashion beat and into a world he never imagined—profiling Toronto Tigers hockey star Jamie Bennett—Devon finds himself immediately out of his depth. His inability to understand hockey slang and the play on the ice is one thing. Not knowing what Jamie wants from him is something else entirely.
Jamie has Devon’s number from the moment they meet. As Jamie forces Devon to reveal parts of himself, he challenges everything Devon knows about what it means to truly get to know someone. But love is for other people and Devon is counting the hours until he can leave the hockey world behind and return to his beloved clothing design studios.
If Devon hopes to return to the fashion world with his heart intact, he’s going to have to find a way to beat Jamie at his own game. Because falling in love with a hockey player—even one as kind and confident as Jamie—is not an option.

Every time I see Elder Scrolls elves with human looking eyes and facial features, I take 100 points of psychic damage.
People who cannot handle their big beautiful tilted eyes and brows, non-white sclera, protruding browbones, narrow faces, and sharp chins do not deserve them. They are not supposed to look like generic fantasy elves, and that is what makes them so great. They are supposed to look alien.
#the elder scrolls#oblivion#morrowind#dunmer#bosmer#altmer#one of my favourite things in the remaster#thank god they made them alien looking#thank god dunmer have black and red eyes#but still every time I see mods or fan art or ocs that makes them look human or give them human eyes i take damage#unless they're meant to be half human or something#people who can't handle how beautifully alien elder scrolls elves look don't deserve them#they are perfect the way they are#i pray Bethesda stick close to the morrowind/skyrim designs in tes6#but at least the remaster made them look more alien than the original Oblivion#especially the dunmer#if they just stick with the Skyrim design for tes but give some bosmer horns/animalistic eyes and make the men shorter#then the elves are pretty much perfect#please todd don't make them more human looking

Here are some Season 2 Arcane GIF comparisons before and after I color and sharpen them! | Season 1 Comparison GIFs
#arcane#arcaneedit#gifmaking#reminder that if ur not a fan of the coloring and sharpening then i dont need to hear ur opinion so fuck off and make your own gifs :)#sooo yeah!!! just sharing this very old coloring comparison i use from time to time to make sure i follow a certain peg for my gifs#but i dont really follow it to the T of course#and now i will use the tags to rant/comment about my coloring process lmao#ok so.... arcane s2 is SOOOOO much brighter than s1 i am so so so thankful we have such bright scenes instead of all the dark ones in s1#because it makes my life so much easier#that being said my coloring isnt really perfect i still cant handle more complex tones like the mel gif......#i used to have a more stylized coloring wayyy back in s1 (esp when u look at my old gifs) but i kinda realized i had to change it#so i scrapped all my old psds and now coloredit EVERYTHING MANUALLY#hence why sometimes i gif the same scene but theyre colored different since i never use a preset PSD now#however it became way more tedious to make gifs... so yeah.... lmao#but in the end i like it more!!! i like that my new coloring just basically matches the show more but is just brighter and more saturated#unless ofc i dont like the tones of the original show i.e. the vi gif you see there where its super green gray???? idk i dont like it so#i recolored the entire thing#anyways thats really it coloring will always be something i continue to try to improve on but recently ive just been v busy so i just#speed color and edit everything and dont rlly take all adjustments into account so no more complex tones and#i just stick to basic things#oh right sharpening! so for sharpening i use a very basic setting: just 500 px and 0.4 radius which is what i use for almost everything#i also dont add noise bc the landscape photographer in me does NOT like it LMFAOOOOOOOOOO#but yeah thats really it for sharpening oh i also use 4k sources as much as possible bc it gives the best quality and if#i cant find any source i just upscale everything by myself then crop stuff again back to 540 px and imo it really just does look better#personal tag

I'm sorry, but telling your drivers not to race each other in the first race of the season, only to backtrack on it mere minutes later, is next level cowardly.
#Australian GP 2025#The team can't even handle a potential battle between their own drivers#Tell me again why the fuck they're in F1 when they're too scared to let their drivers do their jobs?#If you’re going to use team orders then fucking stick by them

I'm very excited to announce that my second book, Stick Handling, will be released on December 3.
🥅 🥅 🥅
In this novella, the hockey romance of Rachel Reid’s Game Changers meets the fashion world of The Devil Wears Prada.
For fashion journalist Devon Waters, success brings opportunities to interview the best up-and-coming designers. His interviews showcase new trends and add a much-needed sense of refinement to the pages of Yonge Street magazine—if he does say so himself.

His inability to understand hockey slang and the play on the ice is one thing. Not knowing what Jamie wants from him is something else entirely.
Jamie has Devon’s number from the moment they meet. As Jamie forces Devon to reveal parts of himself, he challenges everything Devon knows about what it means to truly get to know someone. But love is for other people and Devon is counting the hours until he can leave the hockey world behind and return to his beloved clothing design studios.
If Devon hopes to return to the fashion world with his heart intact, he’s going to have to find a way to beat Jamie at his own game. Because falling in love with a hockey player—even one as kind and confident as Jamie—is not an option.

They're such wildly different examples of what an emotionally tired person looks like
#Dilucs a “i got to do everything myself” tired#like not in a condescending way in a “I don't want my family in harms way ever which mean i have to do everything myself”#and kaeyas like a tired wine mom that seems super cool to the nephew/niece#but actually he's a fucking wreck that just happens to have enough money to 'handle' it alone without crimes and stuff#you know all those redemption dads like the guy from trigun reboot that replaced Millie#or the cop from detroit become human#or Daryl from twd#Or joel from the last of us#or Hopper from stranger things#they are that energy#someone get lost child that helps redeem them#(nudges bennett w a stick)#adopt him#plz#anyways#scribbles#artist on tumblr#genshin impact#kaeya alberich#diluc ragnvindr#not ship art#plz dont

It drives me to the edge of insanity that people seem to think that John’s only motivation for becoming a hunter was revenge.
That man was absolutely fucking terrified, for himself, for his sons, for everyone on earth, revenge can’t compare to how much fear drove him.
#spn really said let’s give the veteran a new war to fight#and even better#stick him on the battlefield with his children#he’ll handle that just swell#supernatural#spn#john winchester#dean winchester#sam winchester

One month to go!
I'm very excited for this story to be out in the world on December 3!
A special note for those in the Schitt's Creek fandom. My David and Patrick fic, Stick Handling, which this story is based on, will be leaving AO3 on November 15.
(I'm sorry! But I don't want to risk some sort of AI-driven plagarism whatever.)
So, please download a copy of the fic version of Stick Handling before November 15. If you see this post after it comes down, feel free to message me and I will send you the PDF.
I hope everyone will keep an eye for the published version of this story in December. It's new and improved! It has 12,000 more words and at least 25% fewer commas and I think it's really great!
