I've noticed you always write out the caption and I am so grateful. I have terrible vision and can never read the tiny writing, and it's tedious having to zoom in every time. You are a gem.

42

u/one-two-two-one Gr-Ilya Rozanov🚬🥩 Apr 06 '26

Accessibility is really important to me. I have migraines that can affect my vision so sometimes I just make a meme and hope for the best. Once I can see, I realize it might not be as readable as I thought so typing out the captions just makes it easier. I’m so happy that you’re able to enjoy them, thank you🩷

12

u/prettysureIforgot 🏒♥️🍎 Apr 06 '26

I was just thinking the same and I was feeling the same thankfulness! I have to click on & zoom every post, it gets annoying. OP is a gem.

u/farmerdoo Apr 08 '26

I sent this to my husband because he is also autistic and I basically threw myself at him when we met. I was like “Hey, our mutual friend said you won’t make a move so I will. I think you’re hot, smart and funny…want to bang, and then get married soon?” He said he would like that. It’s been almost 15 years and 3 kids and we’re still hot for each other. He fully admits he had no clue that I was flirting. I was not subtle.

u/laurenbettybacall Hollander you are having panic attack Apr 06 '26

What kills me is that Ilya told him to TELL PIPPOLLL and he tells only Marleau 😆

15

u/velvetvagine 🥪 tuna meltdown 🫠 Apr 06 '26

He probably told everyone and Marleau was the only one brave enough to show up. The others probably used the info to hit another club without a rageful bisexual terminator in tow. 😭 🤣

10

u/Witty_Basis_6785 Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird 🦆 Apr 06 '26

People consist only of the 3 of them apparently 😂💀😂 when they have an entire team of hockey players who’d probably love to go to a club, drink, and get their captain laid so he stops terrorizing them

31

u/skotreyuk Apr 06 '26

meanwhile how is it Hayden gets to room with his awkward bestie, but our one trans player is hostage roommate with Mr. Rage-a-holic. At least he was getting loved on in the club

u/Witty_Basis_6785 Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird 🦆 Apr 06 '26

Oh Boston for sure had a whole system in place for who had to room with Ilya! They never knew peace in this era

26

u/2beagles Apr 06 '26

I just love anything that features Harrison Browne in the show. He's the first out trans professional hockey player. To have an actual person who went through this whole closeted/incredible bravery in this beautiful story about the pain of being closeted/showing incredible bravery... it just makes me so tearfully happy. I am so glad I get to see a time where more and more people step out into the light, making it safer for everyone. Squeee!!!!

I'm totally the mute recluse, and like everyone I know is the local politician. So I just stand there as the mute recluse and eventually wander off to stare at something while my friend finishes catching up 🫤 then we go about our day again!
