(shakes the bruins) WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

[bokettochild]

I absolutely love fics that give all the Links different written languages.

BUT

For the ones that don't...

Who do you think can or can't read/write cursive? I firmly believe that Wind's grandma taught him how to read it, but he never writes in it so he can't without double checking certain letters multiple times.

Ooh!

Yes, Wind is quite proficient in Hylian cursive! He and Aryll actually both are since Granny doesn't really use anything else except back when she was first teaching them how to read, and even then, her letters are all swoopy and graceful (they love that). He reads it well, but his handwriting is still awkward and crooked (JoJo had it overlapped onto Warriors'). Aryll spends more time writing things down so she's a bit better than he is, but only a bit.

Four is familiar with cursive, since he spends a lot of time at the castle and most of the royals use it. he can read it well, and he can sort of write it, but Blue finds the excessive loops to be ridiculous and while Red thinks they're pretty, it's too tricky to do all the time, so only really Green uses cursive, and only when split. Vio likes how it looks, but he writes to get things down, and he thinks too fast to care about how his writing looks (it looks like chicken scratches).

Legend is also quite used to cursive, and he can write in it, when he takes the time to try. Most of the time, he's like Vio and just trying to jot things down, but if he's writing a letter or a note to someone, he tends to at least try and make it look nice, and cursive does a decent job of that. I'd like to note, also, that since he's a bit of a book collector too, Legend is very good at reading even the crappiest of handwriting, not just cursive.

Hyrule hasn't got much expose to written materials, but most of what he has seen are old books with the gilded letters and the like, so he doesn't even know cursive is a thing until Aurora introduced him to it. He's not very good at reading it, and definitely can't write with it, but he's getting better.

Wild might have been able to write in cursive before he lost his memories, but he doesn't any longer. Most of Hyrule doesn't bother with cursive, not even Flora, since she, like Legend and Vio, has only the intent of writing things quickly and no longer has anyone to tell her to make it look nice. Purah and Robbie are the same. Sidon and the Zora do use cursive, but Wild doesn't really care enough to try reading it, since most of the time anything they bother to write is just official mumbo-jumbo to him anyway. He does have rather neat printing though!

Sky can read cursive, as can all the students at the academy, but he prefers to print things out, because it's easier and he was always a rather lazy student. Zelda feels the same way, but Groose actually has the best penmanship out of them all (he wanted to be better than Sky). They can all write cursive, but again, Sky never cared to practice enough to make it look very nice, so he sort of struggles to do it.

Twilight on the other hand! Twilight has the fanciest gosh-darn handwriting out of the whole chain! Since he's a total book nerd (look at his house), I'd say he's probably been exposed to all sorts of handwriting, and as a kid decided he would make his handwriting look like the stuff in fancy books. Ulli helped him to learn, and he now writes with a very neat hand indeed. Most of the time he prints things, to save time, but this man could be a calligrapher if he so chose! He really likes to do those embellished first letters like in old books, and while sometimes he gets teased about it, Shad may or may not have asked him to help with some of his publications because of his skill.

Warriors has very neat handwriting, but unfortunately, cannot read or write in cursive. I'm a street-rat Wars truther, so this man probably only recently learned to read in my take on him. He makes sure his handwriting looks nice, but cursive is a bit too much for his needs. Soldiers don't get sent things with cursive most of the time, so when he does, he can usually just ask Impa to help him read it, as it's usually in regards to an official frivolity anyways.

Time cannot cursive. Malon can, but she's not very good at it either (reading or writing). Time doesn't care to learn, Malon doesn't really care to improve, and the only way to get Time to even try would be to tell him he could use it top mess with Wars.

bruins fic rec list 💛🖤

after 4+ years I've recently found my way back to hockey -- and hockey rpf -- which has meant that I had so much fic to catch up on, because man, you guys can write. here are some of my recent favourites, listed in alphabetical order, with one cheeky self-rec thrown in.

feast season by @sphesphe. swaymark, 5,963 words. 5+1 with ully hand feeding sway food. as with any story by sphe the characterisation and the language are spot on in this one, sway as the pov character is a delight to read, and sphe possesses a singular talent in taking food sharing to hitherto unknown levels of hotness.

finally i feel like i have a home here by @fvcking-damage. marcheron, 21,257 words. an au fic, in which bergy, who is trying to get his life back together after a bad break-up meets brad, a photographer, on a chance encounter late one night and it goes from there. hands down one of the favourite fics i've read in any fandom. every character is written with so much care and depth the healing the story affords them without dismissing their heartbreak is sublime. simply a masterpiece.

Funny That You Mention It by @thebluejayawe. marcheron, 7,531 words. marchy realises that bergy is going to propose - things spiral from there. this is a rollercoaster of a fic which grabs you by the throat and does not let you go until the last word. it is such refreshing take on bergy and marchy's relationship, and marchy is a revelation in this story. his insecurities and love and anger - it's all done to perfection.

like a stranger by yours truly. marcheron, 13,142 words. bergy was the person brad wanted by his bedside any time he was injured or sick -- except now bergy is retired and things haven't been the same between them in some time. what can i say? i am still trying to process bergy's retirement and i'm a hoe for the way ppl can grow apart and find their way back to one another.

they must have been leafs fans by @dragongirl180. marcheron, 9,704 words. brad is missing and there remains little hope of finding him with each passing day. beside himself, Patrice makes a impulsive decision to buy a pet rat. an absolute delight of a story. bergy's anguish at having lost marchy is written so vividly it comes alive off the page and you read it and think -- yes, this is exactly how it would go if marchy was turned into a rat via some hockey magic.

Sweet by anonymous. marcheron, 15,559 words. per the NHL rulebook, teams must provide any vampires on the roster with an emergency blood-use donor for medical treatment, should they be incapacitated during a game. an ingenious take on the vampirism trope, this fic makes you think YES this is exactly how it would go if bergy was a vampire. brad's voice as the pov character is so good and i am obsessed with the way the author uses the vampirism set up to explore who they are to one another and what it means to want and to care for someone. it is also ridiculously hot.

Please do reblog and add more recs -- including self-recs -- because i still need more fic to read! also, given that I am me, these are almost all marcheron but I am here for any and all bruins pairings. 👀

[nonametis]

oh no! goalie roulette! they're all mixed up and lost and don't know where to go or which team they're on!

pick three teams and create brand new goalie tandems for those teams.

no rules! no cap limit! have at it!

Hmmm, I like the goalie Tandems in Colorado and Nashville, I’m just hoping that Juice 1 and 2 both find their goalie partners and cities again, without me touching anything. Finnish goalie magic (which I also count for Georgie cause he did lots of training in Turku. He’s of the Finnish goalie school, I have decided)

But I’m taking UPL out of buffalo and set him up under Grubis wing in… idk, Vancouver? Not a big move for grubi at least, and I don’t want to disturb the avs goalies again, so no Denver for grubi yet. Also vancouvers goalie situation doesn’t sound too good, so they could need this.

Flower seems happy in Minnesota, but he NEEDS to be back with the other pens core. Who do I give him as an backup? I’m sorry Jars and Ned, you can’t stay. You’ll be rehomed by someone else with good intentions for you. Anyways: sorry to buffalo, I’m also taking Devon Levi and giving him to Flower as baby goalie to mentor.

Ha! With the off-Season moves I can reunite Sway and Ully. And I don’t care for the bruins except for these two, so in consolation for stealing the sabres goalies I will take these two to have their epic romance in Buffalo now.

Sorry to the other goalies, with the exception of like Binnington you all are also more or less dear to me, I hope you’ll use your goalie sense the same way as the aforementioned Nashville and Colorado pairs did and either reunited yourselves with you beloved goalie partner or at least your beloved team

[agena87]

I'm leaving tomorrow (Saturday) for a couple weeks; going to my grandma's. Since I won't have anything to do except be on my laptop all day long during that time, maybe I'll finally manage to finish my Death Set plus the numerous WIP giving me the stink eye every time I misclick and open my Blender window... Plus, make a few more Simblreen gifts.

IF I don't fall into the "actually play the game" hole. But I so wanna continue my rotational gameplay now that I have my blorbos back in my game. And I kinda want to reach Ulli's teenhood, 'cause I sorta want to make something with him. Maybe even... a bachelor challenge? Or something. A legacy? (noooo, Gena, you know you always get bored with those, don't fall for it again!). Anyway, he just became a toddler, so I still have time (especially playing rotationally with a long life).

[lindholmline]

i just know sway and ully fight all the time about who’s the better goalie except they’re both saying the other

[welcome-to-oslov]

I love how we're so immersed in both the beginning and the ending of Tilrey's intense journey! (Well, not ending, but at least a new stage of his life dawning over in Oslov Unraveled, just as a new stage began when he was stolen from Thurskein.)

That made me think: what if Ceill somehow time traveled from the future and found himself here in the Cafe with young Tilrey of his age, meeting him like Ulli just did. Though I suppose he wouldn't meet him as an equal - Ceill would be a privileged protected college student Upstart, seeing Tilrey as he was in the milieu he lived in: desired and oppressed, loved and cared for by no one except Bror. Beautiful, strong, but cut off from opportunity, sad, and scared. Of course anyone would find it weird to go back and see their parent as a young person haha! And I know Tilrey wouldn't want Ceill to meet him at this time in his life. But... maybe it would be for the best. Tilrey never wanted Ceill to know what he went through; no one would. But it was unavoidable, and what Ceill learned was exactly what Tilrey didn't want him to: the photos, how older Councillors gossipped about & treated him as an adult, Leisha telling Ceill it hadn't been Tilrey's choice (and all that implied when Ceill thought of the sobstreams he'd seen). Ceill found Tilrey frustrating and embarrassing and inscrutable for so long, but he's come to respect and love him and deeply care about him now. Still, I don't think he truly understands Tilrey anywhere near as well as he thinks he does, even now!

Curious what you think Ceill would think, if they met as peers (never peers, but you know) :)

I love this idea! Reminds me of an old YA book I read where a teen time travels back to her mom’s adolescence and they end up with a stronger relationship. Only this version would be a whole lot darker. 😅 I should write this as a one-off if I ever have time.

So what would Ceill think? If he met Tilrey at this point in the story, I think initially he might still feel alienated, because Tilrey is much more jaded and sophisticated than Ceill at the same age. (Not by nature, but because of all the experience that’s been forced on him.) Tilrey might find subtle ways to make Ceill uncomfortable (not knowing who Ceill is, of course, just seeing him as another pampered Upstart). Ceill would find the younger version of “Uncle Bror” much easier to get along with.

But if he stayed in the past for a bit, and saw Tilrey interacting with Councillors, he would start to really get it in a way he can’t do in the present. He would see that Tilrey’s hard shell is self-protective. He would understand that Tilrey’s elaborate performance of submission to Upstarts is just that—a performance. And a necessary one. I’d like to think that instead of pitying Tilrey, Ceill would feel genuine empathy and compassion, and he would forgive Tilrey for sometimes being harsh on him when he was growing up in an effort to keep him safe.

What exactly would Ceill need to witness for all this to happen? I need to think about that!

Landkrimis Volume 2

Ramblings nicht ganz spoilerfrei, aber hauptsächlich wird man wahrscheinlich sehr verwirrt sein, wenn man die Folge nicht gesehen hat.

Außer Dunkle Wasser. Dunkle Wasser spoile ich to hell and back weil fuck Dunkle Wasser. (Aber es kommt als letztes. Ihr könnt einfach vorher aufhören zu lesen, wenn ihr die Folge noch schauen wollt. What - and I cannot state that clearly enough - I do not recommend.)

(Am I obsessed? Yes? Sad and lonely? Also yes)

Alles Fleisch ist Gras (Vorarlberg)

Not only is vigilante justice good actually, it's also fun. Und macht schöne Kürbisse. Perfect moral, no notes.

10/10 würde diesem Trio noch ewig dabei zuschauen, wie sie Nazis, korrupte Politiker und Drogendealer zu Dünger verarbeiten.

Flammenmädchen (Salzburg)

Die Folge hätte mich mit dem Team versöhnen können, weil der Fall war wirklich gut. Simon Schwarz als trauernder Vater, dem aber der gute Ruf der Familie dann doch wichtiger ist, als den Mörder seines Sohnes zu finden. Eine grandiose junge Darstellerin (Annika Wonner) als von wirklich jedem verlassenes Mädchen. Stephanie Reinspergers Charakter der mit ihr bondet. Es hätte alles wirklich wirklich gut sein können.

8/10 für den Fall, -100 für den absolut fehlgeleiteten Klamauk

Aber so ein Heimatkrimi muss doch auch lustig sein!1!! Und die Autoren werden den Klamauk da unterbringen, koste es was es wolle. Deswegen sehen wir wie Schwarz einen Nervenzusammenbruch kriegt als ihm klar wird, wer die verkohlte Leiche ist in die er gerade reingetreten ist, und zwei Szenen später spielen die Ermittler Schnick Schnack Schnuck, und der Verlierer muss mit den KTU Leuten sprechen die comically nervig sind. Und der Comic Relief ex-Kollege ist auch noch dabei (in Folge 1 hat er einem minderjährigen Mädchen nachgestellt und in Folge 2 hat er einen Typen zum Verdächtige in die Zelle gelassen, damit der ihn bedrohen konnte. Hilarious. Ist es nicht lustig, dass der Depp immer noch dabei ist? 🥲 Er stellt sich immer so dumm an! Lacht endlich verdammt! 🥲)

Vier (NÖ)

Ist das wirklich ein Krimi? Begründe deine Antwort mit Textbeispielen.

Ok, Whathappened ist ja eine genauso gute Frage wie Whodunit. Und in dem Fall ist ersteres ja schon sehr spannend. Dann ist hier vielleicht die bessere Frage "War das so gut als 90 Minuten Landkrimi und wäre es vielleicht als zwei oder dreiteiler besser gewesen?" Dann hätte man sich vielleicht auch das extrem weirde Ende ersparen können. Weil, dass der Stunt nur alle Beteiligten und Unbeteiligten noch weiter traumatisiert, hätte Ulli, die ja als durchaus intelligente Person dargestellt wurde schon wissen müssen. Und einen Mehrwert für die Zuseher hatte das Ende imho auch nicht.

8.5/10 aber nur wegen dem extrem seltsamen Ende

Der Schutzengel (NÖ)

So much going on here and not in a good way. Wie zum Beispiel, dass mitten in einer Mordermittlung der eine Polizist zum anderen sagt "Hey hier ist dieser 12 Jahre alte Vermisstenfall. Nein keine Anzeichen für ein Verbrechen. Und das war meine Freundin, deren Boundaries ich komplett ignoriert habe. Können wir uns den Fall nicht noch mal anschauen?" Und der andere nur so: "Joa. Ist ja nicht so als hätten wir wichtigeres zu tun."

Oder der Erpresser der so dumm ist, dass bei ihm nicht alle Alarmglocken klingeln wenn sein Opfer sich nochmal vergewissert, dass er wirklich niemandem etwas erzählt hat und betont, dass er alleine zum Treffpunkt kommen soll.

Und dazwischen Fritz Karl als Niederösterreichische Columbo, except not really, weil man sieht in Flashbacks zwar klar, was das Mordmotiv ist, und wie der Täter versucht sich ein Alibi zu verschaffen, aber den Mord dann doch nicht. Also sollen wir so tun, als ob wir wirklich noch nicht wissen wer's war?

1/10 und Columbo is judging you

Steirergeld (Steiermark)

Wie meine Mutter sagt: Ah. Der Steirer mit dem abwechslungsreichen Sexualleben. Wobei in der Folge die Kollegin auch Abwechslung haben darf. Sonst ist die Folge eher fad. Die Steiermarkkrimis sind halt Krimis. Keine Experimente die schiefgehen können. Aber auch kein Versuch die 84705 Story über Korruption und Schneeballsysteme etwas origineller zu gestalten als die 84704 davor

4/10 und zu langweilig um mehr zu sagen

Dunkle Wasser (Salzburg, anderes Team)

Wir beginnen mit einem Kommissar mit einem Trauma. Sehr originell. Es wird auch schnell klar, dass er den originellsten aller Trauma-Gründe hat: Tote Frauen. Ja. Plural. Seine Kollegin war depressiv und hat sich umgebracht. In dem Ort wurde schon mal ein junges Mädchen umgebracht und er hat eine starke Vermutung wer der Täter ist, konnte aber nichts nachweisen. Und die aktuelle Tote ist die Tochter seiner Jugendliebe. Der geneigte Krimizuschauende horcht jetzt auf, aber gottseidank war sie nicht seine Tochter. Nicht gottseidank, weil er dann noch traumatisierter wäre, sondern weil es kommt raus, dass er kurz vor ihrem Tod mit ihr geschlafen hat.

...

Sie war 17 und das war das zweit-fragewürdigste, was er getan hat.

But Aoife, what could possibly be worse?

Also, er hat den mutmaßlichen Mörder von dem vergangenen Mord konfrontiert, sich mit ihm geprügelt, ihn dabei versehentlich umgebracht und dann die Leiche in der Schrottpresse entsorgt

Äh ja.

Diversity win. KHK Schürk ist nicht mehr der Kommissar mit den meisten Dienstvergehen im deutschsprachigen Raum!

Achja es gibt noch Nazis. Keine neuen (nicht in Österreich), aber Nazi-related Familiengeheimnisse. Und das Opfer hat die erfahren und wurde deswegen umgebracht. Also das Opfer vom Anfang. Nicht das Opfer in der Schrottpresse. Wir wissen ja warum das umgebracht wurde.

Leider kann man dem Täter den Mord aber nicht nachweisen, also dass es wirklich Mord war. Er behauptet es war ein Unfall. Nützt ihm aber nix, die Mutter von Mordopfer erschießt ihn trotzdem. Und der Kommissar nimmt dann die Schuld auf sich. Seine Kollegin (ja die gibt's auch. Sie darf einmal das Wort Femizid sagen, und das ganze Kaff mit verwirren) ist dabei und hilft dabei (Kollegin weiß, dass er mit einer minderjährigen geschlafen hat, nicht dass mit der Schrottpresse). Everyone is happy.

The End

Naja. Ich konnte damit die Zeit bis zu den UK Hochrechnungen totschlagen. Aber vielleicht hätte ich doch eher Farbe beim Trocknen zuschauen sollen.

No Rating. Das waren nicht mal Null Punkte. Das waren auch keine Negativen Punkte. Kein Zahlensystem kann ausdrucken was ich von der Folge halte.

[nosefacekillah]

Linus Ullmark & Linus Van Pelt are the same except Ully's security blanket is Sway

[cruciferous-spatula]

Imole, who hurt you?

Also hello everyone and welcome back to the Vuosttamus household, where newlyweds Arvi and Imole are about to move out and start a family of their own, when

oh no Ausarta, who's hurting you?

Tapu there only stayed to watch for a minute and disappeared when the actual baby appeared, what a weirdo

But yeah welcome Ulli!

The bloody newspaper delivery person just hung around for EVER, trying to get into every shot, succeeding here. You're not supposed to exist yet lady, I just needed the bloody paper to move bloody Arvi out

speaking of

Very not on theme taxi as well, I know. At least Arvi, Imole and Spot are out of here now, making this household somewhat more manageable.

Idja and Johka play nice together and are fairly self reliant, for toddlers at least

Their moms are very preoccupied with baby Ulli, but there's also just so much to in general, with the garden, the sheep and the dog

Momma Doaivu sometimes just stays in her sleeping clothes all day.

Their dog Kia makes an affectionate and responsible babysitter.

But you also gotta grow up fast in these bygone times

and Idja is no exception

Good thing too, because Sarta and Doaivu are going to need all the help that they can from capable hands now that the sheep are multiplying

And that's all from here for now

[neverendingparable]

@glimpsesofeuterpe replied to your post “NAME: Ulmar Deluxe ALIAS: Mr Deluxe, Ullie,...”:

wait he has an employer— 👀

​he does! they're those who exist outside of the parable, like the ones who wrote the confusion ending's ending (the big screen they find in that room). they're sort of the invisible puppeteers for a lot of offices. except it's likely they have no connection to ordinary jons, since jon and maelle made the parable on their own.

[thathockeygirll]

man i remember the days when i genuinely looked forward to the skills comp every year. this is fucking AWFUL with the exception of pasta as happy gilmore & ully trying to score

[pastrnaks-sainz]

After all the hard pk work tonight

Trent making a bubble bath for Brandon before wrapping him in his favorite fuzzy pjs and tucking him into bed. Carlo comes to long enough to make grabby hands and pull Freddy into the little spoon

Linus brings Jeremy home where Moa already has his favorite dinner waiting. They then cuddle on the coach with hot chocolates before Sway falls asleep on Ully's shoulder and the two careful take him into the guest room where his favorite stuffed corgi lives

Brad knows Charlie tends to be big on the missing Chris hours after a heavy game so he ropes his alternates into coming over for post game movies and homemade pasta with CC in tow. Pastrholm and McGryz make a blanket pile in the living room and everyone ends up sleeping there except for Marchy that Pasta makes go to bed bed to not wreck his back as the old man

😭😭😭

You all want me dead

Brando would be so damn sleepy. He’s just communicating in little noises and shaking his head yes or no. Trent rubbing at his shoulders, arms, and legs to keep him from getting sore.

And the grabby hands. Ugh the lil pout that would go along with them are you KIDDING

[munch4march]

same anon who sent an ask sometime earlier about a cute fluffy swaymark hug: that hug except sway is blaming himself about how game 7 ended and ully (who might still have some feelings about the whole series) shoves it to the side bc sway needs him right now

💛💛💛💛

so right. so many feelings going around right now and i'm just really glad they've got each other to lean on

can't imagine how the boys must be feeling rn

just haunted by it tbh

[stopgapsolution]

Bruins what the fuck I am going to kick all of you in the kneecaps (except Ully and Sway who have never done anything wrong)
