https://www.tumblr.com/39oa/744137614807924736/the-stars-are-like-this-is-39-yo-joe-pavelski

hi anon!!! of course i would be MORE than happy to explain and in fact am about to egregiously overexplain so apologies in advance for that >__< welcome 2 starsblr pls enjoy your stay!!! 💚💚💚

"pavs and sons" → this is our top line that consists of jason robertson (21 / "robo"), roope hintz (24 / some call him "roop", his finnish nickname is "hine"), and joe pavelski (16 / "pavs"). pavs spent over a decade in san jose and was the sharks' captain during essentially their twilight years, and he came to dallas intending to retire (which is likely to happen at the end of this year tbh) but instead revitalized a distinct second phase of his career after being placed on a line with 2124 in 2020-21, unexpectedly becoming stalwart producers for a struggling dallas stars offense (2 words: rick bowness) — robo was only in his first year with the stars and roope's career was not that much older, hence the nickname pavs and sons; although pavs is only an alternate captain because the stars already have a very established, homegrown captain, he is basically treated as our second captain thanks to his age and the vast influence he has over both our young players & the locker room as a whole :') one of his nicknames is also captain america from representing team usa on the intl stage LOL.

rest below the cut:

raising johnny -> our team's ACTUAL baby is 2003-born wyatt johnston (53 / "johnny" but sometimes we use "wyjo" lol), who was in the ohl before the 2022-23 season but managed to impress during training camp and basically forced his way onto the roster (without getting too much into it, 18-19 y/o rookies can play 9 games with the big club before burning a year off their elc, so being from the ohl at his age his only options were basically Be In The NHL Permanently or go back to ontario.) because "HE (WAS) ONLY 19!!!" and there was some uncertainty about whether he'd stay up, pavelski invited him to live at his place with his wife and teenaged-son, and now a second year into his career wyatt is STILL with them because he loves it there so much lol. the stars frequently joke about pavs being his dad/landlord, and we've gotten a ton of fun content like these quest for the stanley cup clips and other interview moments like this, this, and this.

fostering stank(s) -> logan stankoven (11 / "stank" though you will also see "stanks") is our other baby and a very recent addition to our nhl roster; he's from the same draft class as johnny, but spent last season in the whl and therefore was eligible to go to the ahl this year, where he's been cooking up a storm for half the szn. it was pretty inevitable that he'd come up at SOME point, but the perfect opportunity arrived after one of our forwards got injured and he was slotted in on short notice. like johnny, he has basically forced his way onto the team permanently by immediately performing to (and well-beyond) standard :') the fun part is that he stayed with johnny at pavs's house when he first came to dallas, though he's since moved out and found his own place... nevertheless, this was still very sweet because logan & wyatt have GENUINE history from knowing each other half their lives & winning gold for u18 team canada in 2021, and have since picked their immediate chemistry right back up on the stars's 3rd line together. (more on this later!!!)

resident glueguy tydel + otter's son -> u know how every team needs its emotional support 4th liner who is at constant threat of being dumped at trade deadline? ty dellandrea (10 / "delly" but we like "tydel" as well) is our 13oa pick who never really panned out as expected, but he's still crucial to the overall health of the locker room and beloved by many. as a small piece of the Cycle Of Mentorship that the stars subscribe to, pavs is known for basically being a deflection master and a menace in front of the net and has passed on this propensity to a lot of younger stars by doing targeted practice sessions with them, including tydel. anyway delly's lore in general is just INSANEEE because he's at the center of the stars' social fabric in a lot of ways. happily third-wheels along with the wags, gets along with the 279195 canadian slagline who mostly exist outside of any family narratives, is Publicly Liked By Roope which is kind of weird because outside of cellys roop practices jane austen levels of finnish repression, imprinted on johnny hard last year (JOINED HIM ON PAVELSKI FAMILY NIGHTS) (from this devastating webweave), has SOOO much ahl history with otter to the point that otter's baby brother sees ty as part of the family — this is also where otter saying that he and his girlfriend saw ty as their son when he stayed at their apartment during training camp comes from. which is genuinely like Absurd Things to say because jake oettinger (29 / "otter") (as a completely random aside, please look at this gifset of harls wearing otter's shirt) is ONLY 2 YEARS OLDER THAN DELLY. LIKE THE FUCK D'YOU MEAN YOUR SON???

i'm normal. okay

jbenn / "daddy" line dads -> so the stars' real captain is jamie benn (14 / multiple nicknames but "chubbs" is a signature), whoooo is a quite the contentious figure amongst stars fans but as a 2007 draftee is very much a homegrown player and still quite important to the organization. i'm ngl, stars rpf is a VERY small space nowadays in hockey fandom, but ~back in the day~ he and tyler seguin were one of The Big Ships before slowly fading as both fandom figures & stars of the team thanks to age and injury and [waves hand vaguely]. anyway while the top line on the stars has remained *mostly* set since robo was called up, the 2nd & 3rd lines still experience a decent amount of reshuffling, so wyatt is kind of jamie's fixed line son atp but they also played with tydel before we 1:1 swapped some russians and evgenii dadonov (63 / the "DADDY" in question) came in and replaced delly. so now we've had multiple "benn and sons" lines (jamie + wyatt/delly, now jamie + wyatt/logan ❗️), plus essentially a "wyatt and dads" line (wyatt + jamie/daddy) lmfao.

wedge raising harls -> robo's emotional support backup goalie is scott wedgewood (41 / "wedge" or "wedgie"), who as far as backup goalies go is like shockingly well-integrated into the stars' locker room. the piece of lore that inspired this WHOLE post is that taylor dropped an article on how wedge claimed to basically be RAISING HARLS WITH HIS (recently-married!) WIFE...??? which is just. thomas harley (55 / "harls") is one of our resident baby d-men and was in and out of the ahl for a while but has been Officially with the stars since last years' playoffs... he's a very like, self-assured but kind of introverted, Beyond-His-Years type who literally has the voice of a 50 y/o, so it's both DEVASTATING and hilarious 2 me that wedge is like "oh, this 22 y/o kid likes to show up to my house every day and me and my wife are teaching him how to cook and he keeps facetiming me to ask random questions about his bills." LIKE OH... OKAY THEN ;___;

& last but not least: the ultimate Mini Family on this team that i didn't mention in my orig post is actually the finnish mafia — see robo constantly joking about them being brothers and loving each other lol. finnmaf currently includes four players (roope, miro, esa, jani... rip kivo 😔), and they kind of help split the stars' locker room into several groups including the finns, the ontario guys, robo's goaliefucker / Nerd_Collector ensemble, and... well honestly the cliques overlap a lot (which is why our locker room is so healthy!!!) but you get the idea.

there is soooo much other lore i could get into that isn't really related to dad/son/brother narratives but i feel like this is enough of an infodump so i'll stop here for now. in general the way the stars are constructed makes it really clear why they all see one another as family and why there is such a strong & positive & sustainable sense of personal leadership that permeates the locker room... benn handles Official captain duties while pavs uses his experience not to usurp him but simply to further support him in understated areas of mentorship/leadership, and our top line consists of 3 Very unassuming & responsible player archetypes which crucially trickles down to all the other lines. so while many teams have their Old Guys (who are often on a noticeable decline) and Kid Lines, the stars are cool because we've been successful at integrating young players with very established veterans and having them feed off of each other without sacrificing their development or "anchoring" any young talent unnecessarily; benn is really not the player he used to be but he's still been great with wyatt over the past 2 years. and pavs IS a total anomaly, so it's kind of insane & surreal that a guy in his late 30s can perform at such a high level while also taking it upon himself to prepare so many of our young guys to be the present & future of our team *__*

tl;dr: also i just remembered that the amazing @starscelly has a preexisting primer from last year so feel free to check that out too :') (the primary differences are basically that we replaced domi for duchene and recently picked up chris tanev haha)

Caitlin Ruth Gines, FASA's 2022 - 2023 Co-Performance Chair

Performance Chair –– a board position that I have a love-hate relationship with.

What do I mean by this?

 Let’s just say sometimes, the people that you love the most are the people you actually fight with most of the time and sometimes you hate them but deep down you really just hate them at that exact moment but you love them as a whole. You are grateful that you have them. Conflicts are inevitable but you get through it together…you grow together as it goes on.

That is the Performance Chair position for me.

There are times when I was like what if I just quit or I’m so tired of everything (as a whole) that I just wanted to just watch shows or play Call of Duty or play Genshin but thinking about FASA performances is what keeps me going. Thinking about the pride that the performers feel when they hear the crowd cheering, clapping, or even WOAH-ing keeps me going. Thinking about performers bonding and growing together keeps me going. So all year, I’m just GO GO GO!

Battle of the Bamboo Szn (2 week szn)

MoMA Spotted

This is MoMA. The girl who wears this MoMA jacket. I believe her name is Michelle. These are pictures of her. Let me know if you know this girl.

This girl. If we are going to make a movie based on the battle season, it won’t be “Michelle Saves the Day” but “Michelle Saves the Season”. I feel like I have not shown this girl how grateful I am for her for stepping up during the Pagapir practices and working with me in making the performance wonderful in a way that shows compassion to our performers. You played a vital role in keeping the performers’ morale high and making the performance amazing. THINKS!

OMG I FOUND HER!

Pagapiring: FASA, Back on Battle Stage

Performing in battle has become a core memory for me. It is not because Eric Solano gave a good comment on our performance, although it’s also nice. But my favorite part of it is the performers. Performers, I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to get to know all of you. We had our highs and lows…and we bonded over it. Each of you have made this experience memorable for me. I love you all and I hope that you are all proud of yourselves. Ensemblers+Nate and Pagapirers slayed so hard on the battle stage.

My Co looks like Bry-Bry

I really think that this guy I’m working with is Bry-Bry from BO4RD*TOWN. He said no but I have a feeling.

To Bryson:

I am glad that you are my co this year.

I am glad that you are the person I grew with in this position.

I might not have shown it to you but you are one of my rocks this year.

I hope that you are proud of everything that we have achieved. 

I cannot imagine being a performance chair without you as my co.

I appreciate you so much for all the things you have done in your position.

You have worked so hard and it shows.

You are one of the smartest and most professional people I know.

You are so cool.

Some people think we do not work well together because of our checkmate 1.5% compatibility. If that’s true, I wouldn’t have heard.

“It’s literally FASA’s Performance Era”

 - Wesley Liao 3/8/23

A TUNE FOR FASA E-Board:

I wrote a song for you because this is what I think about working with all of you…

🎶(Instrumental)🎶

Here and now it's time for celebration

I finally figured it out (yeah yeah)

That all our dreams have no limitations

That's what it's all about

Everyone is special in their own way

We make each other strong (each other strong)

Were not the same

Were different in a good way

Together's where we belong

We're all in this together

Once we know

That we are

We're all stars

And we see that

We're all in this together

And it shows

When we stand

Hand in hand

Make our dreams come true

🎶(Instrumental)🎶

To FASA:

I am thankful that I am part of this wonderful community. Everyone is amazing and I love seeing us grow bigger and bigger! Knowing each and every one of you brings me different experiences. COZ Y’ALL ARE EXTREMES.

The freshies! I’m not one of them

Bakunawa Spotlight

The bestest and coolest lineage deserves recognition here. DA DAURGS!

Transitioning being COOLturals to being a PERPormance:

Quick sequence of “How’d I get heeeere” (s/o SZA):

Applied as an intern because I thought it was like a FASA resource for an internship opportunity in my field of study.

Getting accepted in the internship program and realizing what it actually was OOPS. (I loved it tho).

I decided to run for both Cultural Chair and Performance Chair positions.

I did all my coffee chat for both positions

Something happened in my life that made me feel more strongly about culturals at that time but I love both positions equally.

I messaged the Presidents, Ate Izzy and Ate Bea saying that I would like to revoke my candidacy for the performance chair and wanted to focus on culturals more.

I promised Ate Bea Fandino that I will run for performance. 

Got the culturals position and the term went wonderful with the love of my life Miss Emily madlamba@um*ch.edu.

A year later and I ran for performance chair → PROMISE FULFILLED!

And now I’m here writing this testimonial.

Co-Cultural Chairs and Co-Performance Chair are positions who play very different roles in FASA although I got the chance to spread culture with all of them. I realized that the workload for each chair is very similar but in different ways. To give you a glimpse of it, being cultural is more research focus, you are mostly making documents or writing emails, and strict planning on everything. Performance on the other side is more work physically, has more informal communications, and planning that will allow flexibility. Also, my cos for both terms work in very different ways. For these reasons, I had to do a whole reset which was hard at first but I got the groove baby!

Key Advice to Future Performance

BE AMBITIOUS

BUT

MAKE SURE YOU MAKE DECISIONS YOU WON’T REGRET

Right now I am writing this and  reflecting about my past 2.5 years on board. I am happy with all my decisions and I am happy that I got to work with two wonderful people: EMILY AND BRYSON. 

AT LAST: I FEEL FULFILLED AND I WILL NOW BE MOVING FORWARD TO FIND MY NEW PURPOSE. THIS WILL BE A MEMORY THAT I WILL LOOK BACK AT WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. 

One last important thing to say is Bryson is the reason why I finished strong. WE DID IT CO! It was a pleasure working with you.

Thank you performers and everyone for being a part of this journey. 

Signing out.

One of your co-performance chairs,

Caitlin Ruth Gines
