Since I stopped posting regularly I have:
* Become very normal about hockey goalies. The above goalie is the Kraken's Joey Daccord.
* written 8 Heated Rivalry fanfics (actually more than 8, some of it I posted anon)
* Remember when I was all 'guys, hey there is this show coming out about gay hockey players and no one is talking about it:( really it's so relevant to fandom interests and...' Yeah, so, that show did happen become a bit of a thing. I feel like I got hit by a steamroller. I went from feeling like an over-invested fan to not being able to keep up with all the promo photoshoots.
* I drew the bookstore that runs the book clubs I am in. Sort of. I meant to color it and also fix a few things, but for Xmas I just added an anthro reindeer and posted it to the book clubs discord, and now people have printed stickers of it to put in their journals:
Far from what I wanted, but honestly a project coming together even that much? Man, just a project coming together rather than falling apart was amazing.
* I've also taken to watching hockey on Sundays at Sports Bra. Portland, we don't have a good place to watch boy's hockey but we have an amazing bar to watch women's hockey. On one hand, amazing that I have a place like that to watch hockey, even if it's interrupted by drag performances... especially because it's interrupted by drag performances sometimes. On the other, I just really want to drink a beer in a sports bar with guys and watch NHL. It's amazing but also like... *hand gestures*
* I read 53 books this year. I might still finish Murder Between Us before midnight. Maybe.
* I am going to start posting here somewhat, but I am also, well, we'll see how it goes.

It is *wild* to me that the NHL advertised it.

When I did see the popularity, I was initially a little worried about what the reaction would be from the "serious" hockey fans - the podcasting hockey bro type - and I'm really super pleased that their reaction seems to have been so positive!
