the work is certainly not in progress, but it is wednesday !!

#OLD MAN BROADCASTER YAOI #me when i get possessed last night like okay hear me out—#and there’s nothing to hear except me like mickey redmond/ken daniels holy jumpin’ prompt.#do you want to see the flannel. because i envisioned a flannel and it EXISTS. and then also there is [redacted] idea about flannel which i #would likely not do but would put in the end notes lmaoooooo just for fun after i edited it 😭#anyway. would you still love me if i made this a prompt #the reason the work is not in progress is because i started trying to write the prompt and as you can see by my little comment highlights #i have re-written the exact same thing like 8 times rip & no i am not happy with it. beaming it into the universe who wants to plot with me #liv in the replies #also it’s under a read more for literally no reason except i like to keep secrets??? i guess???#eternal battle between i want the people who i know would like this & know about it to brainstorm vs i want it to be a complete surprise #ALSO NO ONE COME FOR ME I KNOW THE CAMERA CREW IS NOT USUALLY THERE FOR HIM BETWEEN THE BENCHES JUST PRETEND OK I DON’T LIKE THAT SENTENCE #AND PARAGRAPH ANYWAYYYY we’re. workshopping. the work is shopping. the work is THINKING about shopping and that’s hard enough.#will it get fixed in post yeah but right now i simply have to bully myself to the point of even committing to the fact of a post at all #ignoring the fact i haven’t picked up the 2353 joe outsider pov prompt yet. nor have i finished razor in a blazer. no one look at me ok 🫡

Bonks for Albert and Cam! | CHI vs DET | Jan. 10, 2025

#YES HAHAHA YES SENS SICKO MEME IS EVERYONE SEEING THE SIMME JOHANSSON !!!! GET ON OUR TRAIN !!!!!! god i love when we manifest things.#simme sooooo big and absolutely draped as much as possible over albert for as long as possible until holl comes to move him off so he can #albert johansson #cam talbot #simon edvinsson #detroit ride or die #possibly the best part of all of this is if you see the post game picture of him with his puck and lucas and marco he looks Big right.#like reasonably big i would say! ok so maybe lucas is as we know from the lions videos a twig and marco is a baby but still! and the way #simme just casually makes him look sooo teeny is driving me bonkers. also the camera cut away from the prolonged hug as if we wouldn’t be #able to still immediately clock simme’s huge frame in the wide shot to see him decide he actually needs to have two hands around &on albert #so that they can skate around like a symbiotic three-legged organism OKAY BITCH WE KNOW YOU’RE IN LOVE!! tell us again louder please!!!#not one! not two! but three cellies for johansson and simme!! does he still have a hand on his back before holl swoops in idk!!!#but the celly after the goal where simme has to get him SPECIAL after the crush of the people #PLUS this. twice over. i feel deranged. what about a fourth celly boys (in the fanfiction documents)

#joel’s equivalent to morgan asking if he would still love him if he’s a worm #joel to the flyers when torts fucking benches him for NO REASON #<- well you know what's hilarious is that this draft with those tags has been here for at least 216+ days #because that was joel's iron man streak of games BEFORE TORTS FUCKING BENCHED HIM FOR NO REASON!!!!!!#i wasn't even looking for this!!! i was going to cause immense suffering to everyone by tzjd posting from ~three years ago in the drafts #to say smth smth the ducks in fuckass ugly orange uniforms to play the flyers so trevor can pretend he's on the same team as jamie again #and then ok fine also a little bit looking for a 'would you still love me if i was a worm' post after morgan scored and i went HAHA TORTS #MORGAN SAID THAT ONE'S FOR JOEL FUCK YOU where did all my tweets about joel 'give up the body for the boys' farabee & morgan scoring go #not hockey hockey they’re all joel farabee it’s always beezer just joelle all the way down #the rest of the 'would you still love me if i was a worm' posts are in the fantastic! 'verse tag with the one that really fits with this ->#you still love me if i was a worm sorry i mean if i was a healthy scratch every night & i never scored another goal again & i didn’t play #which are my tags about when morgan was torts' scapegoat & there's one i haven't posted about joel getting advice from morgan ->#JOEL FARABEE HARDEST TRIER AWARD I AM WEEPING INTO MY HANDS I WAS KIDDING AND BEING SILLY BUT THEN I WAS SERIOUS IT REALLY IS 😭😭 joelle

talk your shit buddy

#new tim goon era look just dropped #except it’s literally just him crying saying FUCK YOU soooo angrily & it is doing NUMBERS to the worms in my brain thank you. make him cry #this is really. like. unspeakable psychic damage. the whimpering what the fuck was that into sighting whoever it was like a dog and barking #FUCK YOU and turning like he is c r y i n g fucking piece of shit he is so angry. and also blinking back tears and crying and i-#god. there is something there i don’t even think i can articulate but i did make myself laugh because i was considering the tag #‘tim stützle is not a sex crier’ said literally no one ever <- and i don’t even know where it came from or why. like. i just NEED this to #be at brady soooo bad i don’t know why i don’t know in what universe i need this to be tim arguing with brady and refusing to cry about it #but he’s crying anyway. also can we talk about the trainer gently tap tapping away the blood or the tears or the sweat like. royal highness #but tim ignoring himmmm you can have bonus points if the brady/tim argument occurs in such close proximity that brady’s the one swiping #tim’s tears away while tim is literally spitting mad at him dealer’s choice if you want brady to be clinical or condescending about it but #ohhh how bad i want this argument. the quiet what the fuck to the anger what is this all five stages of grief? denial self-bargaining #grief anger and absolutely NO acceptance thank you. yes i think part of this is related to the goon era arc where brady does not have his #shit together and tim is gay. and the tag i don’t think i ever posted where it was a continuation of well it’s not socially acceptable to #punch ur captain’s wife in the face so tim’s doing it to the other team instead. tim what the fuck when brady tries to kiss him again AGA-#HEY BRAIN WOULD U LIKE TO COME BACK HERE WHAT DO U MEAN AGAIN i mean it’s v obvious but. that’s a thought. bc i said goon also i desperatel #need 2 read the new brady/tim 90s goon/enforcer brady fic soo soo bad i want to &haven’t done it i think it’s gonna make me like 100x worse #because i know i’m gonna love it. unrelatedly to that but related to this tim’s perfect cheekbone highlight cut okay bitch. whatever #apologizing in advance for readers w/delicate sensibilities but fic like... could read early 2000s homophobia. screaming ****** on the ice #the blinking the looking up bambi eyes at number nineteen like can you believe what they did to me tim’s the victim here of course he is #i want it to be so toxic in every possible wayyy i want tim goading guys into beating him up then getting mad at them for it & manipulating #them about it and when i say guys i do mean like random dudes but also i mean brady like is there a world where brady’s trying his best and #tim’s fucking with him yeah of course but also there’s a world where tim is pissing him off & it’s on purpose sometimes but brady’s the one #lashing out. big ugly nobody’s good unhappy end unhappy narrative full throttle. like WHAT is going on up in there’s incomprehensible to me #also re: slurs there’s a v specific fic i’m thinking of where the media catches a guy saying it &he’s like yeah he’s my boyfriend? so good.#driving myself bonkers trying to find it @ the universe send help i spent 2+ hours in the archive bc i SWEAR it was pat maroon or maybe #brent burns like that type of guy you know and i thought it was by rest who wrote the jamie adhd fic but i can’t find it so then i was like #well maybe i just READ it at near to the same time & friends that did not work. ANYWAY tl;dr tim stützle goon era still inarticulable to me #tim stützle #ottawa senators

little fruit picnic (sanjosesharks)

Transcript below!

[Upbeat music.]

Mario Ferraro: Oh sweet, that is so cool. Yeah, I love that. I would love to use one of these [beach bag].

Luke Kunin: It's a nice beach bag.

Nico Sturm: Very demure, as the young people say these days.

Tyler Toffoli: You got a lot of stuff. [Toffoli rummages through a crate full of plastic food.] A lot to choose from.

Mario Ferraro: Some fruit. Fruit's good. Love fruit.

Ty Dellandrea: Strawberries. Oranges. [Dellandrea puts each fruit he has named into his beach bag.] Healthy, yeah I'm keeping it healthy.

Toffoli: Pizza for sure. [Toffoli decisively places a tiny slice of pizza down on the table.] A couple donuts. Assortment.

Sturm: Crackers and cheese. You need a little snack. More cheese. More crackers.

Kunin: A sandwich.

Toffoli: Let's get a glizzy going. There we go. A little ketchup.

Mario: Sushi. I'm going to throw sushi in there because I love sushi. That could be like a good snack on the beach.

Sturm: Olive oil. I guess some people tan with that now. I've heard that before.

Dellandrea: Bring some grapes. [Rummages.] Some more grapes.

Ferraro: Is that broccoli? I don't like broccoli that much.

Sturm: This is like groceries. Who brings groceries to the beach?

Kunin: I would not bring eggs. I would not bring a pumpkin. I would not bring milk. [Discards these items.]

Ferraro: I do love milk, but I'm not going to take it to the beach.

Sturm: Watermelon. I think that's a good one. You can bring that to the beach.

Ferraro: Cookies are good; it's not very healthy. Ice cream. How are you going to bring ice cream to the beach?

Sturm: Ice cream's good for a beach day.

Dellandrea: That's it. Keeping it healthy. Some fruit. Little fruit picnic. Oh, and I'm going to bring a cookie too.

Ferraro: Alright, I think that's all I'll bring. I don't know how much we need to be eating at the beach. It's not safe to eat before you go swimming so.

#is it ‘mean’ to me personally for the sharks to put out a cute lil video where 95% of the sharks all pick out produce to take to the beach #technically no. does it FEEL like a very targeted attack oh absolutely yes and i would also like to add that it’s a HATE CRIME #as in I HATE IT that my fuckass team cannot give me a cute giveaway bag like this beach tote!!! in a reasonable world would i ever use this #no i mean i have. so many bags but you can never have too many random lake totes!!! keep one in your trunk and in your bag of bags!!#also i just like teal. but i just need to go lay down that i had a breakdown yesterday that ended up w/m criminalbrini&wsh in a hannibal au #& perhaps it is less hannibal and more of a bones and all type thing but i still haven’t seen it so. can’t say for sure. ANYWAY #injurious to me. smiled my way through the entire thing including toff exactly who we think he is (still loves donuts)#pizza and a glizzy because he is in fact one of the cool kids. do we think cole taught him glizzy bc i know for SURE my younger teammates #taught me wtf glizzy meant and i’m not even that old and i feel like he went oh GLIZZY? & is still saying it. do the kids still say glizzy #ALSO NICO SAYING VERY DEMURE OK I SEE YOU!!! you have the white boy swag AND a very polite very demure nature. perfect man to take anywhere #also he has my heart for packing in essence a charcuterie board. please bring ice tho i wouldn’t want the cheese to get all weird.#ALSO ICE CREAM. MY IDEAL BAG OF COURSE YOU NEED ICE CREAM AT THE BEACH @MARIO YOU’RE DOING IT WRONGGG IF YOU DON’T HAVE ICE CREAMMM #AND WATERMELON SUPERIOR SUMMER BEACH FOOD nico u and i are going to be beach. i can’t tan though so you can use the olive oil & i’ll eat it #ty dellandrea has charmed me for SO long ever since a beloved oomf wrote stars fic for him & wyjo (rip) but this also…#😭🥺 a little fruit picnic 🥹🥰 oh and a cookie too 🤭☺️#GIRL DON’TTTTT PLEASEEEE watching him name every fruit as he puts it in the bag should not be as amusing but it is very much like watching #little kids play with a grocery store set SO fervently and dedicated. core childhood memory unlocked for me personally which is when they #had the register that ‘scanned’ and read the number of the item to help you learn to count i remember loving it so much. same vibe here.#nico sturm #mario ferraro #luke kunin #ty dellandrea #tyler toffoli #san jose sharks #(almost) all of them picking fruit cracking me up in addition to the entirety of mario speaking. start to finish.#‘oh i love this bag it’s so cool’ he loves fruit but doesn’t really like broccoli which we all needed to know. and loves milk but wouldn’t #bring it to the beach but thinks sushi???? would be fine?? like would i eat sushi on the beach absolutely but as per the ice cream: cooler.#mario with your necessary safety PSA like: 🙆‍♂️ ALWAYS ✅ WAIT ✋⏱️ TO SWIM 🏊🤿 IT’S NOT 🙅 ❌ SAFE 😨 TO SWIM 🩱🩳 AFTER EATING 🍽️ ‼️#luke what are you bringing to the beach 😭 we know what you’re not bringing ig but same for nico like ‘😒 these are groceries’ ok what then???

#prevs i. like i have had leno emotions but i don’t think i’ve ever truly known what he looks like AND THE BROKEN NOSE REALLY DOES ITTT #the real question is prop lock or flanker (not a question. i say second row who can move up as a sub. put his HEAD between some THIGHS.)#not even in like a sexy way tbh i just feel like he has the irritance factor where i would simply Nawt allow him to be chatting it up #in a scrum. also i don’t think he plays a strict crash & go game but i could literally be so wrong. ANYWAY i guess i have leno thoughts ->#its so crazy that you can say that guy has the head of a rugby player. and then the universe is like watch this.#and makes his head 10000x more rugby....#get this guy into a scrum where he belongs..............!#and i didn’t even realize… he talks about loving being booed… sir can i PLEASE get you on the pitch. please.#i see the vision… ignore the impossibility of the 10 or 15 not being the one to kick bc i stg but blowing kisses after u kick for points…#leno don’t you think you would look sooooo good in a collared shirt ooooo you want to wear a rugby kit sooooo baddddd yeah you dooooo #thighs OUT for the boys leno… a compelling argument if i do say so myself #ryan leonard #wjc 2025 #technically this was in the drafts before i got the grocery store post i just posted into the drafts BUT it’s getting posted because he’s #haunting the narrative of that one in ways I am NOT examining but I will read fervently from meghan. everyone say thank u m moondoggiestyle #for infecting me with the will/leno/mack brainworms literally all of it is just from her and like. la & the umich contingent. i love y’all #you make me see shrimp colors about men i would never have even seen in normal colors and i think that’s beautiful #although leno gets a pass because although he dropped off the face of the earth for me he DID earn a place in my heart for being a bitch #last year with the air kisses and everything. love a good silly goose that will thrive on the washington goofitals.#anywayyyyy do i think leno would prefer sevens or fifteens? for some reason my brain just said tens. okay?? sure.#take all opinions with a grain of salt bc I haven’t watched him play but I DO love a good rugby crossover. fondly remembering my drw lineup

i’m so happy, i found my favorite reddit post of all time. i thought i lost it forever

#WHICH HOCKEYS #like this is in fact instantly going to be incorporated into my brain and potentially in fic #and because i have about three worms in there that consistently hit one of three buttons labeled #‘joel farabee’ ‘tyler bertuzzi’ ‘rotating fixation’#i did immediately go JOELLE BEHAVIOR wait no joel doesn’t like produce. hebs though. also doesn’t eat vegatables.#is there a single nhler who truly loves produce question mark. like the BEHAVIOR is possibly flower but it’s too innocent. flower would #bring the entire produce market into the bedroom and act completely normal about it (i am thinking of the beautiful video where the mn wild #i think are just. stupidly all drunk and go back to this one guy’s apartment to wake up his roommate who’s a huge hockey fan i want to say #it’s dumbs sooo bad and i think i’m right but it’s so charming and funny to me) much like this. WHOMST!!!!! like i KNOW. i know #the zeitgeist of the time would be to slap a will/mack on it and get notes because a) they are stupid freaks b) they do live like. a block #from each other in old man neighborhood will fresh prince of whatever hill it is AND c) this fits with the 3AM grocery store run narrative #ko and i laughed about it so like i see the vision. i find it funny. do i know if it’s funnier to have mack certifiable Freak crawl up to #put his face upside down two horror movie inches away from will and say hey can u drive us to [california-specific late night sleaze chain]#i want a frozen yoghurt (slurps obnoxiously) OR because i can see mack fighting for his life and will thinking he’s so chill & normal like #will (is there at 8AM): you want to go get vegetables / mack: *terrified about to use his non-existent jujitsu skills* GUHDOUHA?#yes of COURSE yes of COURSE I KNOW i also see the gay potentials for having ur faces two inches away from each other breathing in the same #air a little eyelash flick downwards conscious or not to his full lips slightly parted just barely awake in both directions. like maybe #will was kidding and playing a game of gay chicken like he and leno used to do (sitting my own brain down like SO WE DON’T NEED TO UNPACK #ALL THAT RIGHT NOW RIGHT) and now he’s. and mackelin’s. soft and breathy and got wrinkles from his pillowcase creased into his cheek & will #doesn’t really know why there’s a strange thrill in his chest when mack jumps underneath him and just barely misses kissing him on the lips #almost but manages to not knock his chin into will’s jaw instead and he holds it there for just a second too long to be comfortable mack’s #wide eyes underneath him a little lick of his lips even just parted and breathless & will has a delayed laugh an ew gross you almost kissed #me you freak just like leno would’ve done (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LENO GET OUT OF THIS NARRATIVE) after mack says jesus will you scared me #oh yeah YOU scared me more you almost kissed me. this did in fact take on more of a life for will now that i’ve said all this but i have to #say the mack side of things just so that i can give you all the part that haunted ME which was my brain just going ha. mackeliLONGING where #mack really is more like. horror creature dark figure standing in the doorway of will’s room Hannibal voice like will… will the groceries…#if you’ve ever read that one post that was like. hannibal going to trader joe’s and making the girl who makes your salad feel bad by doing #the psychological analysis of it that IS how i’m envisioning mack saying that. do i think that fr no it’s just making me laugh rn. but mack #HAS been in will’s room for at least a half hour before he woke him up just watching him sleep and he does NOT know how to properly express #his longing in an acceptable manner. hence the i think i love u so much i want to crawl inside ur skin bit. except will’s the 1 who’d do it

- “I think he knows everything about hockey, you ask him a certain stat, he’ll know it”

- “Davo! Im not kidding here!”

- “Haha Stromer can’t do it! Stromer? How do you do it?!”

- “Stromer how do I do this?” “See he says how do i do this. he has no idea what to do, he just plays hockey. Well if you were listening to the instructions!”

hi! heard the released “Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call” (which i’ve seen you’ve heard live, if i’m not mistaken!!) this morning and i don’t know if there’s really a particular vibe/dynamic/ship hrpf-wise (personally haven’t yet been able to put my finger on it) that quite relates but the lyrics have been rotating in my head all day and i was wondering if you had any thoughts? hope you have a good one! <3

OH ANON HAVE I EVER SEEN IT LIVE!!! and the second that song came out i zoomed it straight into my fic playlist and unfortunately there are so many guys this could be. right now the one that's resonating is, of course, the golden boy and his haunted ghost themselves: mcstrome.

i am thinking about connor, specifically, after the stanley cup final. that game seven. how angry he was, how loud the silence when they told him he won the conn smythe. how close he's come before and again and again lost. there's nobody else to blame but himself. he's in the empty room and he knows why (1)

at!! your best!!! you were magic!!! oh, golden boy. connor the anointed, of course. at the very beginning of his career we always knew he was something special and who wouldn't have fallen in love with him? weren't all of us a little bit dylan strome in awe of the generational talent? we were all bathed in radiant light just by being in the vicinity (2)

don't even tell 'em that you know me breaks my heart (3). in terms of building a narrative i think i've said before there is a universe where connor/dylan were together before the draft and to protect both of them, dylan breaks up with him. connor says i love you and dylan says i don't. because he doesn't, you know? he loved connor. he loved davo. he can't be in love with connor mcdavid, first overall pick of the edmonton oilers. i'd rather be hurt forever than have to watch us try to make this work and destroy us.

and after connor mcdavid left the otters, dylan strome captained them to a memorial cup win. what a haunted home, eh? to be captain of the team you and your best friend were on, only now he's left you? don't call me to tell me about your rookie season with the oilers--we both know about your broken collarbone. don't call me to tell about becoming the youngest captain in franchise history when i stepped into the shoes of your captaincy here. don't call me. (4)

narratively: dylan's the one who broke connor's heart and his own but by god it wasn't easy. we both know what happened, you went first overall. please don't make this harder on me. please don't call.

this verse can be about the weight of dylan having to live up to connor's standards and always being measured by him. i would just like to bring up the connor stepping stone chart for absolutely no reason as well (5)

we are, at long last, at the potential future of now: dylan strome, happy, smiling, thriving on the washington capitals. connor, on the oilers. i'm not yours, dylan can say. haven't been for a long time. it took some time but i made this. please don't call and ruin this for me, stay out of my life. i don't want you or need you (6)

[p.s. this took a while because when i received this ask i was a) immediately possessed to write this verse by verse breakdown i had never thought of before and then b) immediately plagued by the idea of making you a little graphic (above the read more) and finally got to do it after banging out all the actual lyric thoughts two (?) weeks ago. emerging two and a half hours later from the fugue state of GIMP with 37 layers in this bad boy hope you enjoy!!!]

#liv in the replies #reblogging because EYE liked the little graphic. anon wherever u are i hope u liked the mcstrome. and the footnotes which ofc i had to keep #anyway we're gonna put tag footnotes for other potential pairings &dynamics because otherwise this post looks frankly. unhinged. which it i #(1) because i am nothing if not a parody of myself i would like to provide an honorable mention to the death of the goon in this lyric.#when does time stop? when is it just you & your anger? who's the person you've divorced yourself from because you couldn't catch their fist #in case it was not clear this is also incredibly a trade narrative. did we pick that up? this is lovers to enemies. this is we were not goo #for each other and i don't regret that. parise suter fans rise up. the speaker in this case is the minnesota wild org.#(2) there is a note of nostalgia and longing here--when you were magic. i remember when you were a giant to me. i remember the hope #and possibilities. rip to sidney crosby the next one and golden boy of this generation but this is sung like a rookie to the vet they once #idolized. i was sold and maybe i shouldn't have bought it. maybe you tarnished over time. or in a softer light it is a comfort not a #criticism i bought tickets to the show. at your best you really were something and you made me believe i could be magic too. SORRY. dylan.#sorry. he'll come up again later. but every team has a golden boy don't they? do we know the cathal kelly bedard article where he talks abt #eating your prospects alive by building a narrative they can never live up to & promising them every year so that when they can it's a shoc #(3) three line devastation here my god. don't pretend you were kind golden boy! don't you dare tell anyone what you told me because then #they'd know too. the “coming out” narrative of it is discussed but while i don't love this it's the easiest example i have: jamie & trevor #have we heard jamie talk about trevor in a single interview? sometimes after a guy you loved gets traded you don't want the reminder.#it's even worse if he chooses to leave. claude giroux hater-era au arc where we don't talk about him. jt leaving the islanders dead to them #(4) while not a trade the other draft narrative we grew up together to enemies is of course zach and dylan. zach roaming around ann arbor #please also apply to subsequent usntdp team 100/101/102 narratives. alex turcotte i'm sorry they never speak your name you will hurt foreve #(5) to counter the rookie to the vet narrative of the golden boy this is fairly explicitly To Me a vet about his rookie who's supposed to b #the promised one the one who'll save them all. dallas is coming to mind here but not for any real reason. nail yakupov are you there.#taylor hall curse of the 1OA. pretty common also for guys to take in a kid when you're barely 26 yourself & haven't got ur shit figured out #so. dealing with a neurotic driven kid? yeah this is somebody who had a golden boy &fell out of favor. got traded. ty smith j'accuse style #(6) or in another story please don't call because i'll come right back #goodnight chicago the playoff handshake line. please don't call me. please don't call me.#HELLO BESTIE!!!! i think this is a wonderful song for Fic Purposes and could be applied well to SO many different narratives. i picked a #specific example but do feel the dynamic is very much what the song says: toxic ex and/or family/friend you don't need in your life. trades #seguin leaving boston etc etc. there IS an answer eluding me besides mcstrome though. not toxic enough. tk pat trade? OH TK PAT. or older #trade deadline tragedy

Truly the most unhinged giveaway of the year, btw... Imagining a fic where Razor in a Blazer moves on its own and tries to get Mo and Lucas together. 😭
