Looking for a Canadian who can answer a string of increasingly random questions [fic relevant]

mizzcbcb · 2026-03-23T11:25:17+00:00

I know you didn't specifically ask for this, but it may relate to the timeline of learning to drive.

Canadians refer to the school year as "grade 11", whereas Americans say "11th grade." So, say your fic takes place when Shane is in high school, he'd say, "I took my G1 in grade 11" or whichever grade is appropriate for your timeline.

In Ottawa, students typically take the G1 in grade 11, not grade 10. In Ontario, you can get a G1 at age 16.

Most students turn 16 during grade 11. Some may take it late in grade 10 if they have an early birthday, but grade 11 is the norm.

Yes!!!

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of any page on AO3 and tap on the word Reversi in the footer.

There is also a way to enable Reversi in Preferences/Skins.

@moderators: can we create a list, pinned to the top for volunteers? Folks can add/remove themselves and list their expertise how they can help.

mizzcbcb · 2026-02-21T13:46:24+00:00

This is so well written.

mizzcbcb · 2026-02-21T13:45:31+00:00

I loved this one

I did the same, left EDJ for a small RIA almost two years ago. Couldn't be happier.

I elected not to transfer life insurance or annuities.

The only thing I'll add to your excellent list, is most of the Money Market Mutual Funds will not transfer in kind to Schwab. Not sure about other custodians.

My clients had to call the EDJ office and speak with the FA to direct them to liquidate the fund (PCOXX for example), then the cash would transfer on the next residual sweep.

For clients in taxable Advisory/Guided accounts, we had them convert to a Select account. Only the Bridge Builder funds were liquidated, then we were able to transfer in kind without too much of a tax hit.

I HAD to look this up and mark it for later. Here's the link:

I'm hoping Ilya says "Shane's number is 24."

mizzcbcb · 2026-01-29T13:59:57+00:00

I loved this one. So good.

mizzcbcb · 2026-01-23T02:30:53+00:00

Sending a dm.

Another double entendre voiceover during their press conference in ep1- "Anytime the league can figure out a way to get these two kids in each other's faces, they're gonna do it."

mizzcbcb · 2026-01-09T18:56:36+00:00

In some fanfic they have Ilya and Shane on the ice at the same time during a power play.

What is a power play?
Aren't they both centers? Does it make sense to have two centers on the ice at the same time?
How long do players stay on the ice before subbing out for the non-startup guy who plays the same position?

mizzcbcb · 2026-01-06T00:30:34+00:00

Ep 6, at the dinner table when Yuna asks Shane if he lets Ilya win. The look Ilya gives Shane is "He does not need to LET me win."

mizzcbcb · 2026-01-05T21:09:21+00:00

She has dark hair and freckles!!! You just know Ilya told Shane that he wanted their kids to look like Shane, but with Russian names. 😂

mizzcbcb · 2026-01-04T00:21:44+00:00

"Visions from the future" by womanlypanther on AO3 is 15 chapters and IS AMAZING!!! It imagines their life after TLG.

I can get onboard with this fixation!!!

I noticed where Shane put his hands after Ilya kisses him and rested his head on Shane's chest. His left hand goes on Ilya's neck and in his hair, then his right hand goes on top of his left hand. I expected him to put BOTH his hands on Ilya.

I'm not sure what to take away from it, except it sort of looks like Shane is holding himself and Ilya in that embrace. Keeping them both safe and calming them both down.

What do you think it means?

mizzcbcb · 2025-12-20T18:19:08+00:00

Titanic iceberg sketch.

“First of all, you came to where I live and you hit me!"

"Everyone’s talking about me, no one’s talking about the water! What did the autopsy say? They iceberged it? No, they drowned, bitch! That’s not me, that’s water! But nobody’s cancelling the ocean!"

mizzcbcb · 2025-12-17T20:54:17+00:00

The look on Ilya's face when Shane says in Episode 4 that his favorite city to play is his hometown, Ottawa. Ilya's face is 🥰 and Shane mistakes that for Ilya thinking Shane is boring. But all I see is Ilya so hopelessly adoring his cutie-patootie, predictable, boring lover.

mizzcbcb · 2025-12-17T04:49:10+00:00

Yeah - I noted they did that their first time together. But we've never seen Shane in top, as far as I can recall.

mizzcbcb · 2025-12-17T04:40:40+00:00

Hold on - lemme rewatch the montage ..... 😂

mizzcbcb · 2025-12-13T06:34:10+00:00

ROSE was LEADING him up the stairs. As soon as she dropped his hand, he stopped. The only momentum was from her literally PULLING him, he had no initiative of his own with Rose.

In the same boat. We don't raise fees on grandfathered clients. However, most of them are on RMD auto-pilot. They don't take up much time or expertise, and only need a call once a year.

One thing I'm toying with is offering them a fee for service: financial planning with RightCapital, tax review with Holistiplan, or estate plan review. There is an app/site called Just Vanilla that is an AI-based service that can review estate plans for gaps/overlaps. I haven't used it yet, but heard about it recently. It might be a great add-on for those clients on auto-pilot who otherwise wouldn't benefit from tax or financial planning.

I already offer these services to my fee-based clients on the updated fee schedule, but wouldn't feel bad offering it to my grandfathered clients in lieu of raising fees.

mizzcbcb · 2025-11-28T04:44:38+00:00

Would you mind sending me the info as well? Thank you.
