#//I'm Canadian so it's best to hear it from Leon

[chxckandmxte]

After his takeout arrived, setting down his glass, Leon drops in a couple ice cubes into it, the ice hitting the bottom of the glass with a clang before opening a bottle of Vodka and pouring himself some, watching the ice rise with the liquor filling the glass. Another lousy thanksgiving, just what the hell was there to even be thankful for anyway? His life was a joke, nothing really mattered anymore, to prevent anyone from watching his downward spiral, Leon distanced himself from everyone, which understandably caused some worry, from the vibration of his cell phone of people sending him concerned texts, but he chose to ignore them.

Grabbing his cup, Leon raises his glass.

[{ ☣ }] - “To all the other people who are alone today, this ones for you. Cheers. Happy thanksgiving.” After his toast, he takes a big swig of the liquor before finally turning to his take-out meal. Not the best Thanksgiving meal, but he didn’t feel like cooking this year.

hello! as i'm currently in the trenches working through my first draft for nanowrimo, i figured i would update my intro to be more accurate (my old one was from three years ago 🤡)

about me

im h/helena, she/her, 22 and a recent uni graduate with a lot of time on my hands i love literally all genres but for some reason i seem to write romances the most, despite them being my least favourite to read??? wild. i am absolutely terrible at finishing any sort of writing project, so im hoping this will give me some more accountability i mainly write scripts, but im trying to branch out into writing stories that aren't just dialogue i follow/interact from @grgie

my wips

KISS & CRY // queer sports rivalry. >> nanowrimo 2022. saima laukkanen is a finnish figure skater who finds that despite everything, she can't get her annoying canadian rival, mattie leon, out of her head. must be because she's competitive. no other reason.

AGENT KNIGHT // heist thriller. agent corinne knight is the best in her job. until josh king comes along and tries to usurp her position. (he fails). buddy comedy except they actually hate each other.

DEAD SERIOUS // horror mystery podcast. when chris and jj discover that they can speak to ghosts, they set about interviewing their local dead, and manage to uncover a consipacy bigger than the both of them along the way. this wip is old af but i am determined to revisit the scripts.

i have many many more wips but these are my beloved ones currently (including but not limited to a love island ripoff with fake dating, roller derby found family, a modern western inspired murder mystery and a bunch of fanfics)

please feel free to drop me a message about anything, whether it be about any of my projects or any of yours, i love hearing about other peoples wips more than i like writing my own lmao

Can you help me out? I need an NHL team support, I barely/don't watch hockey and I wanna start watching next season. I'm from Virginia, so I feel like I'm obligated to go for the Washington Capitals, but I personally like the Montreal Leafs. I feel as though I would be considered a bandwagon fan even though they didn't win The Stanley Cup. Help me out here, who are other teams I can support?

TYou do you boo!!!! I’m from Virginia too!!!!

The Caps are a good team, but if you’re just not into them (let’s be real loving them is hard especially during the playoffs) then let’s go over good options!

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a GREAT TEAM (small bias I’m a Leafs fan). It’s not bandwagoning... I think that’s stupid anyway... Our little Leafs are in the swing of a rebuild (an upswing I think but we’ll see next season)!

The Montreal Canadiens are a good team too. We have Carey Price (considered the best goalie in the world)!

The Carolina Hurricanes are also close to Virginia (in NC) and they have a small hockey market so they could use support!

Let’s see... The Philadelphia Flyers are super orange, but they have an adorable baby goalie in Carter Hart!

The Pittsburgh Penguins have won the Stanley Cup two years in a row and they have Sidney Crosby!

The New Jersey Devils... well we’re struggling but we’re very underappreciated and need more love!

The New York Rangers have Henrik Lundqvist (a  very good, handsome, hilarious, Swedish goalie) and they play football on the ice.

The New York Islanders have just adopted me XD They have some good players and are struggling with fans right now because of location issues.

The Boston Bruins have VERY TALL Chara (like 6′ 7″) as Captain and Tuukka Rask who is a very angry goalie (he’s working on it though).

The Buffalo Sabres are just a very underrated team as well I think. Sassy Jack Eichel is gloriously fabulous!

The Ottawa Senators made it farther this season than EVERYONE guessed they would. Their main goalies wife also kicked cancers butt so I was rooting for them!

The Detroit Red Wings have Dylan Larkin whose a homegrown boy and fastest skater in the league and doesn’t know what an extension cord is!

The Columbus Blue Jackets have BOB (their goalie) and he and their captain hug after each win and it’s the most adorable thing ever!

You have the Nashville Predators... didn’t really cause a huge splash until this season. We love them for PK Subban and their pettiness (they had a car they painted in the opponents colors each round of the playoffs people took a sledgehammer to)

The Chicago Blackhawks have several Stanley Cups under their belts recently and their Captain is nicknamed Captain Serious.

The St Louis Blues have Colton Parayko and MY ROOKIE SANFORD THAT GOT TRADED THIS YEAR I’M NOT OK.

The Winnipeg Jets have Patrik Laine drafted second overall last year and they have Laine is better chants (not a good idea if you’re a Leafs fan, but hey whatever works for them)

The Minnesota Wild... I don’t know anything about them but I hear they’re a good pure team so...

The Dallas Stars... welll.... we have a lot of drama surrounding Tyler Seguin and we are up and down with seasons and let’s be honest we don’t actually know what we’re doing but love us anyway!

The Colorado Avalanche have SO MANY AMAZING PLAYERS BUT SUCK I DONT UNDERSTAND?!?!?! But they’re cute and funny.

The Vegas Golden Knights are going to be a new team this season and they’ll need love and not the bitter love most of us will have for taking our players.

The Arizona Coyotes are just pure boys who want to hockey and no one appreciates them enough!

The Edmonton Oilers have Connor McDavid who’s like super good and paired with super good Leon Draisaitl and the two make each other laugh otherwise they’re so serious with the pressure of the franchise on their shoulders.

The Calgary Flames have Johnny Hockey who is literally like a child who looks like he lost his dad and has questionable eating habits, but he’s good at hockey so the Flames love him anyway. Also they have Matthew Tkachuk who is making a name for himself.

The Vancouver Canucks are in a rebuild as well. They also have the Sedin twins... who baffle their game show host.

The San Jose Sharks... hands down the best beards in the league. Good solid guys... always wear shorts and flip flops... or at least good Canadian goalie Martin Jones does.

The LA Kings also have several recent Stanley Cups to their name... hard fought season after their primary goalie went down like a month into the season.

The Anaheim Ducks... well if you want a physical team this one’s for you. 

The Florida Panthers have the oldest player in the league (like seriously is Jagr ever going to retire?) and they have Ekblad who’s just... ridiculously good looking and good at hockeying.

And last but certainly not least... The Tampa Bay Lightning... Nikita Kucherov is literally my favorite person ever and I’d love to be his friend because he called out the whole team for not preforming this season.

So no matter who you choose... it’s your decision. Pick one, or many or heck even all, but there’s no such thing as bandwagon fans. Just pick teams and go wild. Let me know who you go with!
