𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒, 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘

in which luke witnesses your shot at the national championship.

warnings; none that i can think of (may upset some wisconsin fans, sorry if this is too soon)

If you could tell the hockey gods to go to hell at this moment, you would not hesitate.

March 24, 2024. Whittemore Center Arena, University of New Hampshire. The University of Wisconsin vs. The Ohio State University. 2 vs. 1. A little over eight minutes left in the game. The score? 0-0.

Despite outshooting Wisconsin throughout the entire game, you had not scored a single goal. You had had a few close chances, sliding in past Wisconsin’s defensemen a few times, but just couldn’t convert. At this point, you were thanking Raygan for her outstanding performance in goal. But most definitely not the hockey gods.

The voice of Coach Muzerall fluttered through your ears as she told you all to give it everything you got. You were sure Mark Johnson was giving the same speech to his girls at the opposing bench, but honestly, you were too nervous to care. Your eyes wandered around the arena in hopes of finding the only person who could offer any comfort at the moment — Luke.

Unfortunately, Luke had missed the past few games of the NCAA tournament — even your earlier Frozen Four game against Clarkson — because of his schedule with the Preds. Luckily for you, the team was rewarded with a complete off day after their win over Detroit last night. So Luke did the only he could think of. He bought a plane ticket to Durham as soon as he landed in Nashville, and ubered to the arena in order to see you play. You woke up to a text saying that he’d be there, and were beyond excited (and relieved).

As you skated onto the ice in preparation to resume the game, you were able to locate him about halfway up in the stands. He was on his feet, decked up in his scarlet and gray apparel, with a buckeye necklace hanging around his neck. In his hands was a sign that read ‘BUCKEYES > BUCKY’. A small smile crept its way onto your face, wondering where he would have even gotten the materials to make it, but you didn’t care. His support meant everything.

After moving your eyes off of Luke, you focused on Cayla Barnes, who was stationed off to the right of you. She gave you a quick nod, and you knew she meant business. Just as you focused your attention back on the ice, the puck had dropped, with the Badgers winning the draw.

You quickly moved into your own zone, parking yourself in front of the nearest Wisconsin player, which happened to be Britta Curl. The puck passed back and forth between a few of the players before Laila Edwards ended up taking a shot. Raygan managed to kick save it out of your zone as most of your teammates went to make a line change.

They weren’t quick enough, however. Wisconsin had managed to quickly pass the puck out of their zone to center ice, where Curl was waiting patiently with her stick. The puck fell into line perfectly as she entered your zone. You rushed back as fast as you could as you saw Raygan prepare for a wrist shot, and somehow managed to poke the puck away as you tangled up with her. This time, the puck landed right on Cayla’s stick.

Cayla quickly rushed up ice as you let out a small breath. You followed suit, backing her up in case a Wisconsin player managed to steal the puck back. It didn’t take long, however, for Cayla to find Hannah Bilka at center ice, with Joy Dunne on her tail.

You held your breath as the puck landed on Joy Dunne’s stick. If there was one person who wasn’t going to fail you, it was her. She was your team’s leading point scorer with 38 points on the year (23 of which were goals), the WCHA Rookie of the Year, and the NCAA Rookie of the Year. Almost immediately, she sent the puck flying right past McNaughton’s glove and into the goal.

Cheers erupted from the ice, bench, and stands as you were swallowed up into a team huddle by the glass. Joy excitedly made an “O-H” with her hands before embracing you all and making her way to the bench. You smiled softly and looked up at the clock — 7:13 left in the third. You skated off the ice and Stephanie Markowski took your place by center ice.

Locating Luke again, a bright smile was plastered wide across his face as he watched the replay. He had met Joy, who you embraced as a little sister, when he had come to campus to visit you earlier during the all star break. Needless to say, he was proud of her, as anyone should be. What you didn’t know, however, is just how proud he was of you. Your defensive poke-check set the scoring play into motion and here you were just over seven minutes away from winning the national championship.

Time couldn’t have passed more slowly for you as the clock wound down. Wisconsin had created many more scoring opportunities, but just couldn’t convert (you had to thank Raygan once again). You were back on the ice with two minutes to go, scrambling back into the defensive zone as the Badgers pulled McNaughton in order to gain an extra attacker. Your heart raced as you saw Casey O’Brien rush onto the ice, skating swiftly towards your goal.

You knew nothing good was going to happen if you couldn’t calm down. So, as the puck was passed to Ava Murphy, you took a deep breath and raced in front of her as she wound up for a slap shot. As she let go of the puck, you dove in front of it, the puck redirecting off of your ankle and into neutral territory.

Man, did that hurt like a motherfucker. The crowd simultaneously grimaced and cheered for you as you recollected yourself off of the ice. You swear you could hear Luke’s voice yelling your name out of the entire crowd, telling you to get up and kick ass.

The puck was quickly regathered by Caroline Harvey as she circled through neutral ice, waiting for her teammates to reenter the zone. Once completed, the puck was passed to Lacey Eden as Emma Peschel tried to poke it away, but in vain. Caroline passed it to Charla Edwards, who lined up to take a shot from the blue line. None of your teammates were guarding her, so you did what you had to do. You once again skated up and prepared your body to be hit with a hard piece of vulcanized rubber. When it did, you fell to the ground, but got right back up as cheers erupted once again.

“Let’s go, Y/N!” Quinn Kuntz yelled from the bench, and you struggled to skate, but the puck had bounced right back to Edwards. Instead of trying to move around you, she wound up for another slap shot, but that one didn’t get past you either. The puck once again hit your body as you blocked the shot, falling to the ice once again. Finally, Emma was able to clear the zone as the puck raced towards the other end of the ice.

At that moment, you used your stick to propel you towards the bench. You knew you weren’t seriously injured — you’d just have a few bad bruises here and there — but your body hurt like a bitch from taking all of those shots. You were greeted with pats on the back from all your teammates on the bench as Hannah jumped back on in your place. You smiled softly as a response, focusing on the jumbotron to see the time left in the game.

One minute. If you could hold off Wisconsin for one minute, you would be a national champion. You watched anxiously as your teammates tried to clear the zone towards the now empty net of Wisconsin, but to no avail. Finally, Joy had managed to send it down the length of the ice, which forced a quick line change. You hopped on the ice with around 30 seconds left and made your way into the defensive zone yet again.

Since McNaughton was pulled, the Badgers had an extra attacker, which made it harder to defend your goal than usual. You weren’t going to give up that easily, however. The puck was passed back in forth between the six Badgers on the ice, each one of them waiting for the perfect shot. The clock wound down as the puck finally landed on Sophie Hegleson’s stick.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion. You could hear nothing as you once again forced yourself to skate in front of her, knowing that this goal would change the trajectory of the game. Your teammates were counting on you, so you were going to give it your all. You braced yourself for impact as the puck hit your back, your body sacrificing itself for the win exactly as the buzzer went off.

The game was over. You were officially a national champion. The sounds of your teammates yelling filled your ears as you let your body collapse to the ice, both in pain and in shock. You took your helmet off to gather yourself as a small smile made its way across your face. You had done it.

Emma skated over to you and pulled you up off of the ice, and you both rushed over to join the dog pile of your teammates on top of Raygan. Although you couldn’t see him, Luke was smiling down at you, a look of immense pride present on his face. He fumbled with the buckeye necklace hanging around his neck as he couldn’t contain his excitement, knowing that you were a national champion.

After you all had settled down and received your medals (but not before shaking hands and congratulating Wisconsin on their tremendous effort), you were allowed to bring family members and friends onto the ice to take pictures. As Luke made his way onto the ice, you excitedly skated over to him, and his arms were wide open to catch you. You smiled widely, your eyes shining brightly, “I did it, Luke. I really did it.”

He cupped your face with his hands, nodding his head in agreement, “You did it, my love. I’m so fucking proud of you.”

You smiled brightly up at him again, your eyes swelling with tears. Luke pulled you into another hug, gently kissing the top of your head, “Go celebrate with your teammates. I’ll be right here waiting for you when you’re done.” He reassured, giving you a soft smile as he wiped away some stray tears that had fallen with the pads of his thumbs. You nodded, skating over and joining Joy. When you were finally given the trophy after she did, you hoisted it high up into the air, ready to show it off to the entire world.

After all, it’s always been Ohio against the world.

ROLEPLAY HISTORY!

The rules are simple! Post characters you’d like to roleplay as, have roleplayed as, and might bring back. Then tag ten people to do the same (if you can’t think of ten, just write down however many you can and tag that number of people). Please repost, don’t reblog!

CURRENT MUSE(S):

here on smiletimeisrunningout but also previous blogs:

Emma since before 2012. Though she kinda counts like more than one muse considering she has several main universes and then adaptations to other shows lol

on my multi savingthrcw but they are all either severely canon divergent or even alternate universe versions or ocs, with only a few exceptions:

Sarah Walker (Chuck) (closest to canon)

Jenny II (Doctor Who)

Stella (oc)

Terra from (ff6)

AU Jemma Simmons (Agents of SHIELD)

Kate Austen (Lost)

Ana Lucia Cortez (Lost)

the Book and Tvshow versions of Alina Starkov (Grishaverse) (may sorta be put on hiatus soon because I didn't write them as soon as I added them and I feel I'm forgetting how I meant to write them lol)

Ellie Bartowski (Chuck) (like Sarah she's close to canon but has canon divergent verses)

Alex McHugh (Chuck) (like Ellie)

Solona Amell (DAO) modded player's character

Neria Surana (DAO), player's character

Lily Tabris (DAO) same as Neria

Ellana Lavellan (DAI) player's character

Lex (BG3) player's character

Tauriel (The Hobbit)

Rose Tyler (Doctor Who) Bad Wolfed version

Emma Swan but nearly closed (OUAT)

Clarke Griffin (The 100)

WANT TO WRITE:

(But will not write for sure because I don't have a grasp of 'historical' English language and I could never write the correct dialogue for them, and I'm not going to butcher canon characters making them speak in an unjustified modern way)

Penelope Featherington (Bridgerton)

Young Queen Charlotte (from Bridgerton universe)

Mary Woodhull (Turn WS)

Yennefer (The Witcher)

(But I will not write because I don't think I can channel them properly)

Inej Ghafa (Shadow and Bone tvshow)

Parker (Leverage)

Claire Littleton (Lost)

Daisy Johnson (AoS)

(And I might write)

ocs I'm picturing in my head

HAVE WRITTEN:

Bucky Barnes (MCU) around 2012 when characterization didn't really matter and we were tremendously ooc but having fun

Ruby and Belle from OUAT, same as Bucky

Maria Hill/Robin Scherbatski as mentioned above

oc inspired by Lara Croft

other versions of canon Emma Swan (OUAT)

Snow White and her mother Eva (OUAT)

Elizabeth Swann (POTC)

canon Jemma Simmons and more canon divergent versions with their own (surprisingly long lived) blogs

Britta Perry (Community)

Lily Evans (HP)

more that I have forgotten

WOULD WRITE AGAIN:

my oc Ada

Fourteen things I noted about CR2E89 “Lingering Wounds” (noTalks Machina just yet) :

The return of Gail !! I love Gail so much.

Beau : "I have a list of things that I would like to research, but I don't want to Caleb this, either." (Liam salutes) (I'm so happy, I love that joke in Community where they use Britta's name as a verb)

Ok so wait, let me get this straight : there is 3 beacons ?? One was in Zadash and was stolen back by the Kryn soldier and then stolen by the Mighty Nein and then given back to the Dynasty. One was in Felderwin being studied on by Yeza, and the whereabouts of this beacon are unkown. One was really discovered a few weeks back in Pride's Call. So... the Assembly is giving a beacon back, knowing full well they have another one in advance ???? THOSE FUCKERS !! THIS IS THE CATCH !!

Beau : "That fucking chair !..." Travis, jokingly : "Can we scry that chair, do we know where it is now ?" Matt : "You can scry the location..." Sam, entering the joke : "It has to be on the same plane of existence, though. What if it's in... the chair dimension ?" Taliesin, quietly, making the greatest pun I've ever heard this campaign : "The Ottoman Empire."

Jester, to Beau : "Are you avoiding me ?" Beau : "No !" Jester : "Because we've been here and I haven't hardly seen you at all and I think I know why." Me and Sam and the rest of the world, seeing romantic angst likes sharks see blood in the water : "ooooooooohhh here we FUCKING GO"

That conversation was like : fear of your crush discovering the crush you have on her ! angst ! angry flute noise from Caduceus in the corner ! more angst ! I've been syping on your dad and catfishing him !! Molly was a god ! Molly was NOT a god ! Here have some tarot cards ! angry flute noise !!

Oh man the scene with Astrid. No words, just feelings. Also for some reason, the detail that stayed with me was the fact that Caleb is responsible for one of her burnt scars...

Sam and Laura were hoping for some BONING (their faces !!)

I love the minor crisis that happened every once in a while on the background of some other scenes, whether it be Marisha and Liam discussing, Sam and Laura doodling and giggling, etc. etc. This time, Laura realizes that one of the stones of her ring is gone ! She pouts in the most adorable way at Travis.

Wait, the Wildmother is a lesbian ???????? ... in retrospect of course she is.

"Is the Traveler a fuckboi" LIAM !! This line made me laugh so much I probably scared my neighbours. Bonus point for Matt quietly saying "Eat your heart out, Zeus !"

Beau destroyed her opponent, Fjord got destroyed by his opponent. AND YASHA DESTROYED OUR HEARTS.

Like the moment Ashley looked at Matt and said she wasn't going to rage, I knew something was up. There was an intent there, that was clear. Near the end, I somehow thought 'maybe now she will rage !' but no, and I admire Ashley so much. Bold choices makes for a great moment. Sometimes it's not about winning. Sometimes it's about doing a great scene. Like Liam said, "Ashley Johnson, you crazy motherfucker"

Meanwhile, Nott is just robbing the hat store nearby. I love this parallel so much. Also I miss the Honey Heist crew of bears with hats.

Favorite book published in 2023: I think Fourth Wing and Iron Flame were the only books I read published in 2023. I ate them up!

15. Talk about something good or exciting that has happened to you this year

Low key hard to remember because it's been a LONG year but other than making new friends, I would honestly say that finding new TV shows has been one of the most exciting parts of my year. I've particularly taken a liking to Community and New Girl. Plus, I've fallen in love with Phineas and Ferb all over again so it's been nice revisiting my childhood. Thanks for the ask!

Hey there! Fuckin’ Record Reviews returns from its extended 2019 Tumblr dead mall hiatus in anticipation of its yearly celebration of the worthiest contemporary combustible sonic art 2019 had to offer, which will be published tomorrow, 1/1/20. But while you wait, feast on this:

“Galaxie’s ability to take the most obvious ‘rock’ objects/chords (like, say, open G) and make then sound like they fucking invented them is downright mindboggling, and the manner in which they’ve mapped out their own little shimmering universe to crawl around in is one of the real treats of the last year.”

GALAXIE 500 review by JIMMY JOHNSON, Editor

FORCED EXPOSURE #15 page 83 Summer 1989

As is taught in elementary schools across the United States these days, GALAXIE 500 broke up in 1991 around the same time as the Soviet Union. In the 30 years since Jimmy Johnson wrote this fuckin’ record review, a few things have happened:

DEAN WAREHAM formed LUNA in 1991, who wrapped up activities in 2005, but then reformed around 2015. The band will be touring the USA and Canada in 2020!

Dean also consolidated forces with ex-Luna bandmate Britta Phillips for DEAN & BRITTA. One of the things they do is write soundtracks for well regarded movies like The Squid and the Whale. Dean can be found in 2019 at deanwareham.com.

GALAXIE 500 drummer DAMON KRUKOWSKI and bassist NAOMI YANG joined with FRR heroes WAYNE ROGERS and KATE BIGGAR to form MAGIC HOUR (1993-1996), but have made excellent dream pie recordings as DAMON & NAOMI since 1992. They also operate Exact Change Press, which “...publishes books of experimental literature with an emphasis on Surrealism, Dada, Pataphysics, and other nineteenth and twentieth century avant-garde art movements.”

Today can be found in 2019 at the Galaxie 500 bandcamp page, among other places.

Speaking of Wayne Rogers and Kate Biggar, we gotta give a shout out to our award winning 2015 post about their pre-Magic Hour band, the amazing CRYSTALIZED MOVEMENTS: GOD-BLESSED ZONK ROCK: THE STORY OF CRYSTALIZED MOVEMENTS IN FOUR PARTS, which was an authorized 21st century celebration of the band’s interview in Leslie Gaffney’s POPWATCH #4 (1993).

FORCED EXPOSURE? Editor JIMMY JOHNSON and General Manager KRISTIN ANDERSON still operate the most reliable online source of worthwhile music on Planet Earth at https://www.forcedexposure.com/. They got things to sell ya! Kristin was just profiled and interviewed in late 2019 at Women In Vinyl.

Hi i'm looking for light hearted wlw ya books with not a lot of drama one character being masculine presenting would be great but totally not necessary I just want something cute

*coughs in the general direction of my upcoming YA, Home Field Advantage*

Sorry, had something stuck in my throat. (Not a lot of YA with masc-presenting halves of couples, especially in books that are relatively lighthearted.) Truly, none of these are the fluffiest of the fluff, but I'll mention the others I know that are on the lighter end of the spectrum, which are Girl Mans Up by M-E Girard, Like Other Girls by Britta Lundin, and The Weight of the Stars by K. Ancrum (lightly speculative).

Anyway! Focusing on the more lighthearted part, try She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick, You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson, Dating Sarah Cooper by Siera Maley, Tell Me How You Really Feel by Aminah Mae Safi, Some Girls Do by Jennifer Dugan, She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen, Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar, Love & Other Natural Disasters by Misa Sugiura, and once again self-promoting, Cool for the Summer.

hi there! so i was going through your "books read in 2021" series (all of your edits are super pretty!!) and i was thinking, would you mind telling me what were your favorite reads? absolutely loved how you kept the whole list very sapphic ♥︎

thank you!!! I am extremely behind on making those (and honestly don't know if I'll keep up with them unfortunately) and I've actually read 50+ at this point

these are my 5 star reads so far this year: The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur, The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun, Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzales, Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth, One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, Rise to the Sun by Leah Johnson, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, Like Other Girls by Britta Lundin, Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper, The 2000s Mad Me Gay: Essays on Pop Culture by Grace Perry, and The Heartbreak Bakery by A.R. Capetta

those first three are def my absolute faves of the year. Priory is probably my favorite book of all time and I just finished re-reading Written in the Stars a couple days ago (I also loved Hang the Moon which is the second in the series and can't wait for Count Your Lucky Stars), and The Charm Offensive hit me like a ton of bricks in the best possible way (I'm also obsessed with its structure)

#thanks for asking this!!!#katie speaks

books for baby gays

gather round queer kiddos, for this book rec of stories featuring wlw of all designations, where happy things happen and bad things do not (nearly as much). I’ve aimed for happy endings and not too much tragedy or pain over the course of these stories, but (unfortunately) haven’t read all of them so do let me know if any mistakes slipped through.

This list is heavy on the fiction because I’m mainly aiming to provide some solace and warmth. Where there is some overlap between categories (e.g. coming out after uni and the what comes next section, or if you’re looking for escapism then the background-to-no romance section might also be useful) I have only included a book under one or the other, not duplicated.

All links direct through to the Storygraph, which includes reader-sourced content warnings on all titles so do make sure to check those out as well (and if you want you can follow me here). Now, have at it!
