I am dithering on watching ep 9 (fitzy my beautiful wife 😭💔) so I thought let me go rewatch ep 1 instead, and my God, it's all there, everything is laid out within the first ten minutes of the first episode. Close is nothing; close is worse than nothing. The musket shot that went clean thru James's arm and pierced his chest (almost like the one that killed Nelson). The comment about Neptune being able to scent bears from miles away. One look from him and I have to remind myself I'm not a fraud. If something happened to me you would be his second. (You should cherish that man!!!) David Young who does not have scurvy. The ice with the bergy bits. And this is not even mentioning the actual opening, with James Ross talking to the Inuits. The show just, expertly, playfully, viciously lays out its entire plot in 10 minutes, in 10 minutes says this is a story that was over before it began. But the characters do not know that, and you, the audience might think you do, but you don't either, not where it matters.

with the oilers and their hiring choices its not a one off thing where they hired someone shitty “without realising” like no they’ve got multiple people on that team both players and management who shouldn’t be allowed back in hockey and IMO it does warrant a genuine comment from the leadership

and not just mcdavids “he’s great on the ice” comment about evander kane and sure maybe its unfair to expect mcdavid and draisaitl to say something but they know their position in hockey and in that locker room it would carry significant weight

how else is hockey culture meant to change if not the people within not letting this stay the same?

maybe bergeron and the bruins set the bar high but he and the other bruins guys had a bit to say about their locker room culture and overall discomfort when mitchell miller was about to be signed which was in line with what their fans were saying as well.

it wasn’t passed off as oh a kid did something stupid let it go, he was held accountable. that and bergy showing the locker room kyle beach’s interview to understand and do and be better.

not a bruins fan or a person who particularly likes marchand but as a hrpf enjoyer and writer and someone who loves me a bit of narrative i gotta say it: do you think, looking up to the heavens with tears in his eyes, reminiscing on the illustrious career he has accomplished, all marchy could think of was bergy? of those players he lost? maybe he was not proud just to reach this moment, but pained that the one he's been closest with from the start is no longer there standing at his side. that somehow, someway, even here surrounded by his teammates and the people he loves, it's... empty. and nothing else but memories and the "C" emblazoned on his chest can serve comfort to that pain. do you ever think about that?

Forgot about Tartnell up in the shrouds looking through the spyglass at the same time as David Young has his vision of the Inuit shaman. Is it just bergy bits he sees?

Transcript:

(To Lucic) > did you ever believe this guy would be captain?

Marchand: [laugh] no!

Lucic: [laugh] I think if you told me that, y’know, when he was a rookie, I think I speak for most guys, everyone wouldn’t believe it. But to see him grow as a player and as a person, I think he definitely deserves it and I couldn’t be happier for him. I think he’s going to lead us the right way.

Marchand: now we know that looch is a liar!

[they both laugh]

> does it feel good getting closer to opening night after three weeks of training camp, the real deal, in a couple of days?

Marchand: yeah. You know the time in camp starts dragging on a little bit, you know, you start looking forward to the season starting and your team starts to shape up. The first half of camp y’know the group is split— [turns to Lucic] I think we were kinda joking— it’s almost two weeks before we even skated together. So you start getting excited when-when the group comes together and they’re always down, you’re able to start building, y’know, the foundation of the season so yeah we’re looking forward to—and today was a great practice; everyone was dialed in, competed hard and, y’know, you can see the intensity rise up and the guys were excited for Wednesday so, looking forward to it.

> [inaudible question asking about the retirement of the old core, Chara, Krejci, Bergy, and now that him, Pasta, and McAvoy are the new core(??)]

Marchand: yeah, yeah for sure so, with Looch coming back, it kinda lessens that [inaudible] of some of those guys leaving. Y’know looch came up in that era—in that culture that was built early on and y’know the more guys we can have around that can salvage that and y’know, lead the way, it helps a lot. But they brought some guys in who’d been around and, y’know you can’t— you never count out that experience in the room when you go through adversity and, y’know, when you go through tough times so, y’know the younger guys have taken big steps in the past couple of years and we expect them to do that again this year. But there’ll be other guys who step up and start leading in different ways too so, I’ll be excited to see who does that.

> [inaudible] some obligation to play the role of ambassador— not just on the ice but also answering questions about different bruins throughout the years— some of which no longer living?

Marchand: uhh. I mean. I don’t feel pressured to do that by any means but we’re all happy to do that. To be part of this organization is a really— a really big honor, when you see the guys that’d come through and built the culture, built the history here, y’know you love to be part of that, you love it talk about it and y’know we don’t forget about those guys; they built the road that we walk on today so, y’know we love giving the previous players a ton of credit and— like I said the amount of pride that we have to wear this jersey and walk in this room everyday— we’ll do whatever the team needs us to do.

Woah it's been so long since I've posted that it's almost my birthday again, oh my time can be weird for me. XD I've been going through a lot recently, but that'll be revealed in time. Anyways, I made some updates to my sona design, adding my cute black fur into my cyan pretty much. I've also made an alternate form of my fursona, this sorta orca-dragon hybrid thingy. I'm really happy with it, my fox puppy girl self will always be my main form, but I like being able to switch things up a little. I've always loved dergs so very much, and this form lets me become one when I feel like it. UwU Hopefully I'll be a bit more active around the internet soon enough :3

My sorta updated sona design :3

The first art I made of my orca-derg form :3

Annnd my dergy self eating a bergy, along with refining my look and style a little. :3

[bergiesims]

Sul sul! Finally back up and running after an exhausting afternoon of testing, testing and some more testing. I'm feeling a bit rusty after not playing for a week and a half, so I'll be easing back into things within the Bergie Save File. The biggest bonus is that with my new graphics card, I can have GShade enabled without breaking anything!

The family I started before the rebuild is enjoying their apartment so far, so that's a plus!

[naviculariis]

I can't stop saying "bergie bits" evee since starting The Terror. It's a new vocal stim. Bergie bits.

Ugh, found myself opening some reporter's pinned link to an article from September 2023 re life after Bergy and I am once again all in my feelings about Marchy. This is what he had to say then–

“His presence around the room, in the gym and on the ice, you can’t replace that,” Marchand said. “It’ll be a lot different this year. You say that as we go on it might get a little more comfortable; it might be more difficult, you know, all those big moments where he normally steps up in control of things. It’ll be a little bit different.”

And I keep thinking about that one other interview from late in the season, where he was talking about how he at first tried to be someone who he isn't as a captain and tried to lead the way bergy and Zee would have done, only to realise he doesn't need to be them to be a good captain and found his own groove.

"All those big moments where he normally steps up in control of things" – he is right, Bergy was the one doing that, and when you are the feisty chaotic one, playing with as natural a leader as Bergy, it must have felt like such an impossible gap to bridge. But I'm so glad he realised that he is good enough. That his style is different but he can still be himself and be the leader the rest of his team — hell, even Pat blood Maroon — would be willing to go thru a brick wall for, be the glue that holds them together and the one who lifts them up.

Man, what a season this has been. 😭

[pastrnaks-sainz]

thinking about marchy coming home to bergy after games and just them having a routine and it’s changed a little bit post-retirement but it’s still v much *them*

(depending on how he’s feeling maybe marchy asks for a massage, interpret that how you will. i just think bergy would know how to take care of him)

- wordy anon

No bc this

Bergy would clock whatever issues marchys having immediately bc he recognizes them from himself when he was captain

He KNOWS what causes marchys shoulders to be up by his ears

Episode One - Random Rewatch Observations

1. When they first hear about the ‘bergy bits’ at dinner, Crozier and Little share a lovely significant glance between them showing, I think, trust and a strong working relationship at that point.

2. Dr Stanley only has one epaulette on when he’s examining David Young – why? Is there a reason for it or does it perhaps foreshadow him being unbalanced? Or is it just a little costuming goof?

3. Tom Hartnell demonstrates a feel for the ice right from this first episode. He’s the first one to note the descent of the proper pack ice and speak up about it.

4. There’s a split-second little shot of Goodsir looking through the slats of Stanley’s cabin door in the first episode after he tells him about Young’s death that echoes a later one of him looking in at a dying Jacko in the orlop. Could that be a parallel too? Goodsir having two different little views in on encroaching lead-induced madness?
