Wait SAY MORE about junior year Ducks. Who is on Varsity vs. JV in your mind?

OK SO i got this ask but i also got another asking which issues i could see the ducks having in junior/senior year so i’m just gonna combine them!!

for me, the people making varsity would be adam, julie, guy, ken, fulton & charlie because (imo) they've always had the most potential

i like to think imagine adam would struggle with the fact that this may be a repeat of freshman year, however i do think because he has more ducks with him it’d be an easier transition this time around. i’d also love a storyline where has to deal with old varsity members who he knew in freshman year (who were in their sophomore year/now their senior year) who still feel like he betrayed them and don’t want to trust him. maybe a player who’s on the same level as banks and gives him an actual challenge for ~star player. would also love the return of the hawks (larson and/or mcgill) in his personal life because i’ve always felt like that was an unfinished storyline

one thing i’ve always appreciated about the ducks is that it’s a mixed team of boys and girls, with everyone on equal footing. connie, julie, and tammy have always been just as good as the rest (or even better). and it worked really well at the peewee level! but if we’re being realistic… as they get older, i feel like physical differences might start to have a bigger impact. especially in contact sports like hockey. in d3, we already saw connie getting knocked around pretty easily because she’s fucking tiny in comparison to some of the dudes. hell, they even alluded to it in d2, when dwayne had to rescue her by lassoing the opponent. so yeah, i think it would make sense to have separate teams to ensure everyone’s safety and fairness… and eden hall definitely has the resources for it. it’d be awesome to see a storyline for connie where she came to terms with this (and this mostly being the reason she didn’t make varsity) and then decide to team up with linda to petition for a women’s team at eden hall. this would most likely cause friction with julie, however, who is playing on a mixed team’s varsity and doesn’t want to give that up–but, as a goalie, is also in a slightly different situation because she isn’t getting the brunt of all the physical plays. this would actually be a really cool fic to read… if written with respect ofc. i don’t wanna see any misogynistic or transphobic bs

for guy, i think he’s a great technical player. he’s above the average, but he’s also just kinda… there. he doesn’t have adam’s single-minded focus & talent, or charlie’s tenacity & leadership insight, or jesse’s killer instinct, or even something that sets him apart like fulton’s slapshot or kenny’s fluidity on the ice. something that always catches my attention is guy basically going “we all played like shit” and connie retaliates with “no YOU did that, i played hard” which was 100% a line they threw in to make us aware of the fact they’re (still) fighting. but i like the headcanon that guy joined the ducks (district 5 at the time) because he wanted to have fun with his friends, and it turns out he’s actually pretty good, but he doesn’t actually have that a lot interest in the sport itself. he could struggle with the fact that he doesn’t have the passion that other people may expect from someone with his skill

with kenny, i think he’s a great player and deserves a varsity spot no doubt, but i would honestly just love more insight as to why he quit figure skating to play hockey in the first place 💀 like is it a cultural impact vs financial stability kind of thing? tibbles says “i convinced him hockey had more of a future” which might be true. does kenny ever end up regretting choosing hockey? we will never know… because even the creator of tmd did not care to give him a narrative and i think that’s bs. i would also love a kenny & tammy intro, where tammy was the opposite and decided to choose figure skating over hockey

fulton would continue the storyline they scrapped in d3: who is he without his fellow bash brother? i love bash bros but i’d love to see him realize that he is his own person and that whatever future he sees for himself–whether that’s in hockey or something else entirely–he doesn’t NEED portman there to be a great player and defenseman. in turn portman would feel Some Type Of Way that fulton got picked for varsity and he didn’t, but this also makes him determinated to improve on his own too. give them some friction but in the end they realize that they don’t need each other on the ice to grow but want to be in each other’s lives anyway

and then there’s charlie… let’s take away that c!! i’d imagine varsity already has a captain and charlie has to settle for not leading the charge for once (tho he’ll get it back in senior year imo). i just want him to build a better relationship with hockey and have fun without the pressure of trying to fill a certain role or weird attachment issues. but i also think i’d like most of his drama to just not be hockey/team related (other than trying to placate everyone now that there’s a clear divide) but let him deal with his daddy issues

i think russ would essentially be fine still playing for jv bc by this time he’s realized he doesn’t wanna go pro and has found something else to occupy his time. dwayne is just sad the team doesn’t get together a lot. the rest… idk. luis is too busy with mindy/being a perv and averman & goldberg are too busy being annoying and/or sabotaging the team i guess 💀

So wait, is Banks Tashi in a Challengers 9line? Charlie as Art and Jesse as Patrick? Or do you see that differently.

that’s exactly how i see it! i mean, of course, it doesn’t line up entirely because there are a bunch of differences between all of these characters lmao. but similar to tashi, who would “stab a child or an old lady” to be able to play tennis again, adam is hockey obsessed to the point that he chooses being able to play over loyalty to a team and/or his friends. king of self-preservation. he’s also the best out of the three and accident prone lmao (aka takes the most risks to win).

meanwhile charlie, like art, is a good player–but he’s not naturally gifted. we see charlie really has to work for it–going from poor (d1) to ok (d2) to good (d3). he’s not always confident about his skills and even talks about becoming a coach (like art thinking of retirement because he believes he doesn’t have it in him anymore). 

then there’s jesse who, like patrick, is the biggest shit talker out of the trio with the skills to back it up. in the d2 script & novelization jesse’s often described as being confidently good—with some examples being that he’s “the best skater”, he “bears down and pumps [the puck] in with authority”, he “skated smoothly on goal, then let [the puck] fly with a confident slap shot”. he knows he's good and i think this would've been his downfall in d3 had he been there (but they gave that storyline to charlie instead which made no sense but ok).

like art & patrick, charlie & jesse are childhood friends. like patrick & tashi, adam & jesse connect first. yeah, it’s more “i wanna kill you” vibes, but adam and jesse’s road to friendship is basically one of d1’s biggest storylines. like tashi & art, charlie and adam become much closer later on, esp when jesse disappears in d3 and charlie takes over his role (calling adam cake-eater & leading the ducks/flying v). it’s full circle!!

self-promo but i did write a little (canon divergent) 9line challengers au if anyone wants to read it.

i would also say “if he was autistic” too but. tbh i think he already is

I made so many Mighty Ducks memes, posted them, went to bed and immediately thought of this.

Damn it.

[reedfulton]

totally understand not liking goldberg bc i’ve always found him annoying and he was so awful to julie in d3, but i’ve been seeing so much casual fatphobia abt him and it’s honestly a little upsetting! this isn’t necessarily a new thing, it’s definitely been a thing since the fandom started and the movies lean into it a lot, but like. i thought we had gotten past this 😭 there definitely are ways to dislike and shit talk someone that don’t have to do with their weight and/or appearance and a lot of fics really miss the mark on that! anyway that’s my rant for the day 🫶 on another note my requests are open if anyone wants to try to motivate me to write bc my 9-5 has me feeling very unslay lately 🔥🔥

[reedfulton]

i feel like i’ve mentioned this before but i’m still so confused why everyone else has their last names on their jerseys and fulton’s just says fulton. and it’s not even like. a one-off either: every single one of his jerseys (his ducks jerseys specifically, i think the team USA one might say reed) says fulton on the back. if anyone has any ideas why this may be, feel free to reply because i’ve got nothing.
