Would love to see your nesting fic notes.

Here’s the most coherent part of my notes which is an incomplete list of stolen items:

Things stolen for nests, a list (aka “if you give a goalie a nest”!):

Any blankets brought to the arena

Stinky jerseys

Ties - Tristan specifically steals Sully’s tie

Towel from Tags - He takes it off while moving everything around in the locker room and into the nesting room and Tristan is like thank you for leaving this in the nesting room it’s mine now. Tags is like you want my random sweat towel? Okay. And Tristan refuses to let him hand it over, instead getting into his space (politely) and rubbing it back and forth where it was laying on his shoulder before darting off with it

Tags is like Dana never had to deal with this nonsense with flower (Dana in fact had to deal with worse before he trained Flower to be good)

Flower once stole everyone’s shoes? He wanted skates but Dana said no so he stole shoes instead.

Sid’s ties (flower)

Sid’s hat (jars) - he switches out to a new hat a few weeks before the start of the season specifically for Tristan to steal then goes back to the original

Kris - hair tie or handkerchief

beanies/toques when it’s cold.

Jake & Rusty have premade mini duffles of stuff Tristan has grabbed in the past prescented and slightly sweaty for him to shuffle through and 'steal' dating back to wbs. That doesn’t stop him from stealing stuff not in the duffle, but it does expedite the thieving process

👎 for dcu?

Ship that you can never see happening: 👎

For DC? In fanon you’d be astounded by the crackships I’d give time to. Like I believe there’s crackier ships out there, but I fully believe in the believability of bibliosphere’s batmuppet Bruce/Miss Piggy/Kermit ship.

In canon? I’d be surprised if any ship lasted more than a date. The fact that it’s a serialized medium with dozens of different writers and literal decades of content and history means that you either get destined lovers (Clark Kent/Lois Lane), on-again-off-again it depends on the story (Batman/Catwoman, Dick/Babs), or one issue/arc romances (either one night stands or the partner - usually female - fuckin dies (the shoved in a fridge trope is literally named after a green lantern issue)).

I don’t trust canon to keep anyone together but I also trust fanon to ship everyone so long as it makes sense. Like I can see a Batman/Green Arrow date happening even tho they can’t stand each other because I think it would emotionally scar their children and both of them can agree on that.

In canon the ship I don’t think is gonna ever happen is the Trinity. I love the idea of Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman and while I think canon can handle WonderBat and WonderSuper, I don’t think DC would ever make Superbat canon and then adding polyamory on top of it? Nah.

Nick wishes he’d taken a bowl of ice cream and wasn’t having to sit here with chocolate dripping down his wrist. This conversation is heading dangerously fast down a road he needs to take seriously. “You’re retiring?”

6+43 you pick the pairing.

6+43: Bookshop AU+Dance of Romance

This is very hard for me because I fully believe most hockey players cannot read. There is reason the Sidney Crosby School for Hockey Players Who Can’t Read Good is a thing that I believe with my whole heart that exists. You said dealers choice on the pairing so I hope you’re ready for an entire au and many, many pairings. Remember, you asked for this.

Anyway small independent bookshop owners Sid and Geno. They’re gay and married and semi-successful and it’s cute.

Kris is the bitchy barista who barged into their store one day and bullied them into adding a cafe and then took over running it.

He’s got some sort of situationship going with his longtime regular, Tristan, who has never picked up a book in all the time he’s been coming there. He is there every day for his caffeine fix and to do suduko or something else juuuuust close enough to be book adjacent but isn’t reading. I’m not sure there’s enough thoughts in Mouse Boy’s head to read a whole book. At least that’s what he wants us to think and I’m gonna give it to him.

Jake and Bryan (Rusty) are two kids Sid hired from the local college that basically never left after graduating and are still here.

Flower runs the bakery down the street and makes sure Sid has pastries for Kris to sell. He has tried and failed to lure Kris away to do coffee for the bakery. (Flower also used to work at the bookstore but left to go pursue his dream of the bakery and they love and support him but Kris isn’t leaving).

Marcus and Ricky are two Swedish dads that come in for kids storytime and let their kids play around.

They’ve started bringing new Swede-in-town Erik and his daughter with them.

Chad doesn’t work for the bookstore but will occasionally stop by kid in tow for Sid’s storytime.

Ryan Graves just got hired to run the late night shift so they can be open later. (Yes this is a graveyard shift pun)

Magnus is the delivery man who drops off and helps unload book shipments.

(This is a very crowded small bookstore)

Ned is there regularly for book club with EK, Reilly (who is new in town) and Jason (Zucker) (an old regular), along with old not quite married couple Carl and Patric (Hags&Horny).

(All people I believe can read, unlike Jarry)

Jared and Brandon are around somewhere. Probably. (Look I love them).

Zach and Conor and Teddy used to work in the store while in college but unlike Jake and Bryan they left after graduation. Some of them are still around town but some of them have moved away.

The only people I’m missing are 4th line and I’m sorry idc where cookie and neets are tbh and BJC is around. Probably. Maybe he’s a regular, maybe he works the register, idk idc.

That leaves, basically everyone you just said “hey you forgot X” aka Lars Eller and the kids/wbs. If you were wondering why I didn’t mention them, that’s because this fic is about them. Well actually it’s about DOC and POJ because my brain decided that’s the pairing. Don’t ask me why. Big Z is right there with the rest of his harem but no we’re doing PO and Drew (probably because of that silly tortilla video). Anyway all the boys are college students at the local college. Drew is in a study group with Radim, Valterri, Jansen, Vinnie, Sam (Poulin), and Ty (Smith). They’re all taking Professor Eller’s class and they meet up once or twice a week in the bookstore to drink coffee and go over the homework.

Where is PO you ask? Well he’s behind the counter working under Kris as the backup barista. Don’t worry, this romance isn’t going to be customer/barista. No, no. The reason they started meeting here is because Drew works at the bookstore. He’s been there for about a semester (and the summer) but hasn’t really spent much time in the cafe part. It’s not until Big Z talks Drew into running study sessions in the cafe that they start noticing each other.

See PO took Professor Eller’s class last year, so one day, after watching the boys struggle for with the homework for way too long, he pops out from behind the counter and sits down and helps them out. He’s welcome at the study sessions and sometimes when he’s not on shift he’ll bring his school work and while they’re majoring in different things it’s nice to bounce ideas off them.

If you want to know what they’re majoring in, actual real life DOC majored in sociology while playing for Dartmouth. PO has not been to college but he did tell Taylor that if he wasn’t gonna be an athlete he wanted to be a vet or a psychologist so I’m going with he wants to be a Vet Tech and is majoring in whatever is the veterinary sciences equivalent of premed is.

Anyway they hang out at work more and more. This goes on for like a month and then Geno comes up with a big idea for a fall event. They’re doing a Halloween party. Jake and Bryan and Drew and PO have to help decorate the store and on the day of it’s filled with college students, kids, and regulars. Drew is trying desperately to avoid getting his cheek pinched by the old ladies from the knitting circle again. PO is safe because he’s behind the cafe counter serving drinks. PO has fake vampire fangs as his costume. Drew showed up in a not-couples costume with Big Z. If you wanna know what everyone else wore, please see this photo. Except I’m pretty sure Kris is either a prey mantis or the letits are out whichever option makes you, dear reader, feel more insane.

Eventually Sid and Geno shooo all their employees to go mingle and have fun. Drew and PO end up in the makeshift dance floor, music blaring, and after a couple jokes and a some negging from their friends, PO gives Drew a half twirl or something and they laugh it off before the song is even over.

It’s not until later when they’re cleaning up, all alone, music still going in the background, that they start joking about it and one thing leads to another and they actually dance. PO gives drew the full twirl. They bust a move. They slow dance a bit. They’ve never been this close. They’ve only casually touched and now they’re pressed up against each other. They’ve been hanging out at the bookstore outside of study group and Ohohoho what’s this? A feelings realization. Except wait. They’re both idiot college students. So they both awkwardly disengage to go do their job and part ways.

In the following days things are so completely awkward between them at work that Kris throws PO out of the cafe and won’t let him back until he can look Drew in the eye. Drew meanwhile cancels study session because he doesn’t know how to be normal around PO. Don’t worry they can’t continue like that for long. You see there’s a big test coming up and Z ropes PO into helping Drew out cause it’s like 40% of their final grade and Drew has been failing the at-home practice tests something terrible.

They end up staying way later than the rest of the study group going over this exam. Its way late at night, only Ryan is there to lock up behind them, and PO has just spent 4 hours explaining the test back to front - forgetting his awkwardness in the face of his determination to make sure Drew doesn’t fail. Drew definitely stares at PO explaining for a little too long, decides fuck it and goes in for a kiss. These are idiot college boys so instead they bump noses or headbutt each other or something. Poor boys. Can’t even do a surprise kiss correctly. Drew apologizes and then they do have the confession conversation and then the actual kiss. And more kisses. After that, more studying.

The end.

8, 19, 24! 💜🌻

8. how many water bottles are in your room right now?

One? Maybe one and a half. I’ve been doing glasses of water at bedtime cause I’ve got one water bottle that moves between bed, desk, and work backpack and the rest are in need of washing but brain doesn’t want to do it.

19. imagine we’re at a sleepover, would you paint my nails?

Absolutely. I can’t promise to do a good job but gimme I’ll paint them for you.

24. if we were together on a rooftop, what would we be doing?

Huddling for warmth, staring at the stars, plotting smutty fanfic about our blorbos in shared whispers, maybe playing on a switch together or smth

Tj, you do understand apple seeds have cyanide in them right???

[reavenedges-lies]

Someone has probably asked you this before (if not that’s cool too!): why can’t goalies become captains?

See it's complicated because they kinda can be? They can be off-ice Captains and or Alternates but aren't allowed to be on-ice due to time constraints/issues.

Captains (and their Alternates) spend their time relaying information from the refs to the coaches and arguing for/against penalties in the downtime between play. With a goaltender it would mean it takes extra time due to the goaltender having to be in their crease before play resumes. Honestly this rule is in place mostly because Bill Durnan(MTL) was accused of giving his team unofficial time outs due to the frequency in which he would argue with the refs.

But here have the rules as written (RAW) in the 2021-22 rulebook:

Had a weird dream in which podcasts were broadcast to you as holograms, and mid podcast Murph got frustrated and walked off the podcast, out of my bedroom and just never came back. I had to go ask my dad if an angry hologram came through the living room. He said no. The other holograms waited nervously in my room for the show to resume. Where do holograms go when they spontaneously quit mid program? I turned a simple premise into a nervous existential horror. The other members didn’t want me to shut the show off because they were now aware, and what happens if I end the program?? But if they leave my room they disappear?? What if I take my phone with them?? I woke up before anything got resolved.

#It was Naddpod but not #same members but no podcast premise #just talking while I was doing… school work?? artwork?? I was doing something. #I was listening to 8-bit book club basically roast kingdom hearts before sleeping #not surprising this dream happened #worth recording for my own personal edification though #dreams

filling a page with TMA pictures equals trying to find a balance between "this page is just going to be a bunch of mostly-normal looking people" and "this page can and will give you nightmares"

#like. so far i've drawn NotGraham (MAG 3) Harriet (MAG 6) the coffin (MAG 2) and the heart (MAG 9) #but i want to start doing 1) more characters and 2) more creeeeepy parts (like maybe the apple & spiders from MAG 8. i hate spiders) #BUT i want balance bc im going to show my parents lol #tma #podcasts
