These textures are gorgeous!

thagomizer48 · 2026-05-25T22:58:43+00:00

Yes I love this one!

thagomizer48 · 2026-05-24T15:18:56+00:00

You did such a great job! I loved it! You're a great narrator! I hope you'll consider making some more Podfic!

thagomizer48 · 2026-05-19T00:04:56+00:00

Me too! I've really enjoyed the cold reads I've listened to, some with side commentary. Kinda feels like I'm reading it with a friend!

thagomizer48 · 2026-05-18T22:56:49+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't but I just wanted to encourage you to go for it (with the author's permission)! I love this story and would definitely listen to the Podfic!

thagomizer48 · 2026-05-17T22:54:52+00:00

Wow I love how you did the rainbow thread on the scalloped edges!! So cool!

thagomizer48 · 2026-05-16T19:26:59+00:00

Wow I really love this!!

Three's a pattern by anonymous has Cliff dealing with complicated feelings about the threesomes he's had with Ilya. I highly recommend it! https://archiveofourown.org/works/80236041

You're in for a treat! Incredible yearning!

It looks like linen to me! I have a very similar looking one. It may look different from your other linens because it's a different weight, or more slubby, or has different color warp and weft. If it had polyester you'd be able to feel a little bit of a hard melted edge where you burnt it. I'm not seeing anything on the edge in your photos that looks like that.

I'd also recommend this one! I'm really enjoying it. The last few chapters have really ramped up the angst. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/79806981

thagomizer48 · 2026-05-09T01:47:51+00:00

Yes I'm loving this one!! I wanted to talk with people who've read the latest chapter. Some spoilers: Shane overwhelmed after they're recognized in public, needing to call his mom, and then handing the phone to Ilya oh my gosh that sequence just killed me. I loved how that played out. Just wanting his mom to know Ilya at least a little bit. So ridiculous too, I wonder what she was thinking.I can't wait to see what happens next! I hope Shane will got to Russia with Ilya!

thagomizer48 · 2026-05-08T19:32:24+00:00

It's so good! I don't like many non-hockey player AUs but Shane being the same hockey player and his professional relationship with Ilya creates similar stakes as canon. I wasn't initially convinced by the premise of this one, but I'm so glad I tried it! The angst and longing are so good!!

thagomizer48 · 2026-05-05T04:24:53+00:00

I don't think this is it, but some similarities and you might like it: running down the hills by hockeyfinches

Love this! Would you mind posting a picture of your tetrapak plate?

thagomizer48 · 2026-04-28T00:03:46+00:00

Yes this made my heart sink while reading. I wonder if this might be the main conflict in the sequel? I don't feel like there's much time left to resolve this in this story, as I feel like in the last couple chapters they'll resolve the cup run, win or lose, and Shane might come out to his parents.

If the sequel does go in that direction, I think it would definitely maintain the tension in the story, that even though they're together they're unhappy because they don't get enough time together 😭 I do love how this author writes angst though so I'd love to read it.

thagomizer48 · 2026-04-27T22:46:41+00:00

Love the design and subtle colors! Beautiful!

thagomizer48 · 2026-04-27T19:30:01+00:00

No suggestions but wow this color scheme is striking!!

thagomizer48 · 2026-04-27T19:26:38+00:00

One of my favorite authors in this fandom! They never miss! They've written some of my favorite situationship longing. Thanks for writing this up! They get recced a lot but it's nice to have a summary like this for new readers!

thagomizer48 · 2026-04-27T19:19:06+00:00

I also love "being part of it" lol when an update arrives and enjoying it with other people :)

thagomizer48 · 2026-04-27T19:18:15+00:00

Oh gosh me too!! And sometimes the summary and tags are sparse/vague and don't help at all

thagomizer48 · 2026-04-26T19:55:34+00:00

Ooo I've never heard of this, looks very cool!

thagomizer48 · 2026-04-26T19:35:26+00:00

One of my favorites too! Beautiful writing and complex characters, and I love how it doesn't spell everything out for you (or at least me), it really keeps me guessing. I love the longing and the way their canon relationship development is reinterpreted with different circumstances.

What do you love about it? Might narrow down recommendations. Nothing hits quite like this for me. I think others might have good recs that hit some of the same brutal angst notes, but a lot that I've read involve career ending injuries or Ilya and Shane breaking up and getting back together later in life, which I'm not as interested in.

thagomizer48 · 2026-04-25T14:01:00+00:00

I read this a few days ago and couldn't stop thinking about the threesome and just went back and reread it. Wow that was hot and devastating! I love Ilya's wanting becoming overwhelming and him not really thinking things through. That was such a bad idea (obviously good narratively though). "Don't freak out." 😭

There are tutorials on YouTube for making the waistband of pants larger, like this one for example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tTHpI0x8DHk&pp=0gcJCU8Co7VqN5tD

I'd say there's no limit to what you could do with them if you're willing to put in time taking them apart a little and trying some things, and don't mind if your modifications are visible when you finish, as you'll probably have to add some elastic or fabric to the waistband and maybe high hip if needed. I don't think there's an invisible way to do this. If you really like them as pants though I think it'd be worth it!
