matty seeing girlie *politely and professionally* cuss someone out in her lawyer mindset and it rlly gets him going
OOH OOH one time vee @abiiors and i talked about you and matty getting called into the school because elena punched a boy in the face because he was bullying her big sister - matty gets there first and has to listen to this obnoxious dad be like "your daughter broke my son's nose (she did not) i want discipline", all the while thinking Just You Wait Until My Wife Gets Here.
he swoons when you rock up in your work clothes and your heels (red lip optional but it would be so cunty i fear), and does his best not to smirk while you sit through listening to this fucking awful excuse for a father complain about how his son is an angel and would never do anything wrong and your daughters are feral and should be expelled with a raised eyebrow and folded arms, because he knows you're about to tear this arsehole a new one. you do, but in a lawyerly way; you literally pull handouts from your bag for everyone like "email transcripts from the past six weeks, detailing the problems your supposed angel of a child has ben causing my eldest daughter, beginning with a note from their class teacher to apologise for the bruising dylan came home with after he deliberately pushed her off a swing set and to inform us he would be duly disciplined in class, and hopefully at home too, as the email had been sent to you and your family as well. the rest of the transcripts are emails from myself to the class and head teachers, explaining that dylan has since been scared to go to school due to further bullying, and asking if something could be done about this rapidly escalating situation. i don't necessarily condone my younger daughter's actions, although i am proud of her for standing up for her sister, but if you had bothered to deal with your child's behaviour before now then she wouldn't have had to resort to violence to stop her older sister being targeted". the headteacher is (rightfully) mortified, the man is IRATE, and matty's not sure he's ever fancied you more in his life. and then he has to rescind that, because the man tries to pull the "oh, i'm sure my son's only acting like that because he fancies her!" card, and you just say "children learn behaviours, though - you implying that your son equates affection with violence also implies someone in the immediate family thinks so, too. in that case, maybe best to get social work involved. i'm sure they'd be very interested to hear that" - he's spluttering out denials (which don't sound too convincing), and you just stand up and say "i think we're done here. we'll speak to elena about her methods of tackling injustice. and i hope your son's bruising isn't too severe - we can testify from dylan's that arnica ointment helps, though. have a good weekend" and grab matty and leave. he keeps it together until you pick up the girls and take them home, and then he distracts them by putting spongebob on before he pulls you into the utility room and just kisses you until you're lightheaded; he pulls away like "i love you i'm in awe of you and you're so hot that if i don't go down on you in the next two minutes i might die. i'm not even kidding like you ended that stupid cunt. ENDED. sexiest fucking thing i've ever seen. please for the love of god let me make you cum" lol. you're like "you've only got eight minutes until the episode ends and the girls start wandering", and matty lifts you onto the counter and says "plenty of time" and yeah he's right he gets you off with time to spare. i do think the girls are maybe sent off on a last minute sleepover at uncle george's that night, though, lmao, so matty can show his appreciation of you a bit more thoroughly in peace. hot <3

I really like that evelyns favourite in general is alfred, but personality wise it's matthew. Having worked in childcare for years I can say that while kids like alfred will get the attention (especially from the dads) kids like matthew are utterly adored by the mums. Seriously a polite, well-mannered kid who will sit quietly in your lap? Yea he is absolutely being taken everywhere and getting fussed over. And yeah it's literally canon that matthew is constantly forgotten but trust that these kids will remain forever in mum's heart. As adults they're considered to be too quiet and sensitive, but to their mum they're usually 'hers' in a way the alfreds of the family aren't (they're usually dad's protege). Theres some generalizations here of course, but you really do see patterns in how kids are treated and which parent they'll relate to based off their personality.
Ahhhhh thank you! I'm resisting the urge to dump about my own family and how it's influenced the way I understand Evelyn's relationships with each of her kids, but yeah. Being the favourite of one parent doesn't mean they're the most proud of the same child. Besides, she is projecting a lot on Matthew. Melancholic? Check. Kind of a bit of a wimp when they're younger? Check. Overly sensitive? Check. Abandonment issues? Check. (The anger is also a check but she likes to pretend that it's not there. In either of them.) Using your kid as a way to try and therapy your way out of your own insecurities is a bit of a depressing way to view them, but it is kind of how I see it.
Alfred was such a happy cheery baby, in many ways an easy baby to raise until his hormones kicked in, and he's the first, plus it's that sort of 'you want what you can't have' after the Revolution. Then oh my God he grows so big and strong and is leaps and bounds ahead of much of the world and then... Those kinds of feelings there all compacts into why he's the favourite. Not to mention pride. He can say and get away with behaving a certain way that the other's can't. However she is far more reliant on him, something he is quite reluctant to accept at first, still is, just a bit, when she starts getting too clingy.
It's interesting though! I do wonder how true it is, that mother's prefer quieter boys. I can only assume it's the kind of thing that happens at three in the morning, when neither can sleep, so you just have to sit and watch your baby in the early hours of the moment, until finally he starts to doze off. I have a wee flashback in the WWI chapter coming up with Evie and baby Mattie, because I really do enjoy writing the little podgy babba.
Mummy issues. All the kids have them in one way or another. They're back on track nowadays, in a more personal kind of way, but the first half of the 20th century it's a bloody nightmare. But I admit, I love a good mother-son centric story. Maybe because they're a bit rarer than that other combos.

top five of those 'dumb boys who go fast' you like so much;)
oh no molly oh no you've done it now this accidentally ended up being very long
1. david pastrnak (pasta, carby boy, #1 forever in my heart amen)
he's just so good he's SO GOOD AT HOCKEY MOLLY i love him dearly. he once complained that he had to do media because he missed dancing to Aqua's barbie girl in the locker room. he is one of the first three picks for the 2022 czech ice hockey team!!! so talented!! he also has incredible fashion. he's also going to be one of the bruins' rotating As (alternate captains) this year i'm so proud!!
Tumblr media
2. patrice bergeron (bergy, saint patrice, o captain my captain)
in a totally unironic way i would lay down my life for this man. he's so god damn good at hockey, and he's the bruins captain and HE'S SUCH A GOOD MAN. does a lot of charity work?? incredible centre?? absolutely unquestioned that he would be the next captain of the bruins when they yeeted chara. also, while pasta was the First Hockey Player i loved (thank you eddie) i did not agree to watch a game until eddie sent me THIS PICTURE. for their outdoor game last season he picked the theme of the 90s, and that is a WORKING WALKMAN.
Tumblr media
second photo because he's straight up the most handsome man in the world i will not be taking criticisms or questions about this. his profile is getting me through life.
Tumblr media
3. matt grzelcyk (grizzy, my actual girlfriend)
tiny small defensemen also very good excellent work he's only like 5'9 that is tiny. i am having to hold myself back here because i once gave my mother a one hour long lecture on matty grzelcyk and how he's a BOSTON BOY BORN AND RAISED AND HIS DAD AND BROTHER WORK AT TD GARDEN AND HE LEARNT TO SKATE ON BRUINS ICE AND NOW HE IS A BRUIN.
Tumblr media
4. jeremy swayman (swaybae, baby sway, sways, baby goalie)
ONLY HIS ROOKIE SEASON THIS YEAR AND ALREADY HE HAS TWO SHUTOUT GAMES? THE TALENT? THE TALENT? he's incredible and he's only gonna get BETTER i cannot wait to see it. he's also a complete fucking weirdo. once said "i'm not a weird goalie" and then said he LOVES shootouts (for context: no one loves shootouts). he also stretches before games like this. sweet boy 10/10 excellent smile.
Tumblr media
5. brad marchand (rat king!!!, RAT KING!!!, marchy)
marchy ideally would have been higher but obviously i must prioritise by girlfriend and my actual son. absolutely fucking INSANELY good at hockey and doesn't get enough credit for it because he's a pest. he's a good boy now!
Tumblr media
unironically one of the most handsome bruins
Tumblr media
i could literally list at least another 5 more if you wanted
ASK ME TOP FIVE ANYTHING
