[ratatatastic]

on the robe saga, fors told viaplay "it was our captain's idea actually" so he was team sasha btw. which could mean nothing

(they also said "smells fresh, so you've not sauna'd in this one?" and he laughed and said he didn't he saved this one for that day)

its so personally funny to me that literally everyone is team sasha (ie. maffhew, roddy) except sasha himself its "today? barky" "barky hes the best" "matthew tkachuk and you guys know why..." "id wanna be barky in tappara!" "its gotta be barky" "probably go cap!" "id say barky!" all over again like sasha youre bias is showing here please 😭😭😭

oh! now that you bring up forsy saying he saved the robes for gameday! (can we also talk about how cute his smile is as he says it because he looks so proud of himself that he listened to his captain when he told him to save the virginity of his bathrobes for the game)

it does makes sense why forsy was missing from the pic lundy posted on his stories (not that particularly means much considering ekky aj driedges spence adam jesper swaggy gadjo and kuli are missing) but in the sense that all the boys in the pic have their robes on or have them bundled in their laps sans lundy who takes tourguide duties very seriously! but even then forsy couldn't help but join in because he has them on as an extra layer during lunchtime so the cold mustve gotten to him somehow but to know even then he didn't go into the sauna with it... mmm... your restraint is admirable...

so really knowing all this the timeline gets so funny because this idea has been bouncing around probably since bzito gave them the robes in helsinki (whether that was when they landed oct 29 or the day after oct 30 when lundy played tourguide for them) and maffhew mustve quipped "man it would be so funny if we walked in with em huh?" to sasha and promptly forgot about it because he yaps unconsciously and anything out of his mouth comes out in a fugue state and also in a very "i say shit and i dont really expect to be taken seriously" kind of way, sasha made a personal note of it in the maffhew index he keeps in his head, told the team in a very sasha esque way aka "don't dirty robes too much we're gonna wear them for the game :]" and no one took him particularly seriously because its sasha he always jokes like this haha hes not really gonna- (reminds them day of probably via text) and go oh well i guess its a prank but i'll still wear them because it's sasha (shrugs) i don't mind being the butt of the joke if it's for sasha to which they're delightfully surprised when everyone shows up in robes and it slowly starts to dawn on them none of it was a joke at all

sans forsy who takes everything his captain says very seriously and diligently follows his every word and saved the sanctity of the robes for gameday merely because sasha told him to... which could mean nothing... of course...

dear god help us all...

matthewsasha soulmates, feels like home, feels like they’ve known each other for a lifetime, speak poetry about each other

VS

matthewbenny bonded by a red string, fated to always be together, goes feral when anyone touches the other, guard dogs and protectors of each other

[fannyyann]

you’d think i’d stop being surprised by the horrifically overwhelming fondness matthewsasha have for each other by now but these last few days have made it very clear that’s not the case. just over two years together and they’re like this. what are they gonna progress into over the new few? i need to be sedated i think

one of the panthers beat reporters quote tweeted that video of Matthew pronouncing Finnish towns with “I don’t think I’ve ever seen barkov laugh this much in one sitting” and it made me feel insane!! Like, it’s one thing for US to say stuff like that, but for someone that sees them so much fo notice it too??? Unbearable!!

[adelphenium]

obviously you know mattdrai… thoughts on matthewsasha?

always love a good captain + alternate who are equally unhinged + intense abt singing each others' praises combo :D

[tkachukisms]

I cannot edit nor will I attempt to learn due to my chronic issue of if I'm not immediately good at something I drop it just as quickly but oh. ohhh. the first overall edits I have in my brain... it's bad up there

[sickmitts-sasha]

if someone could write about 300k of matthewsasha real quick that would be neat

[fleurywiththesave]

matthewsasha??

Makes sense, doesn't compel me at all. Probably mostly because when I'm into a ship, I'm not usually interested in other ships involving those characters. And truth be told, I don't know all that much about Barky beyond what we get from team social media. I get it, because they're obviously good friends and I think most teammate ships can make sense on some level, but it does nothing for me.

[rattkachuk]

For research purposes- what is your opinion on MatthewSasha

OH i looovveeeee some matthew/sasha, but especially love them under the context of past sasha/huby and matthew/leon. for the angst.

[larsnicklas]

can i say something

[msmargaretmurry]

if we're talking about hrpf music... once again i'm on a florida!!! by tswift and florence lockdown. can't believe there wasn't at least a little conspiracy going around that taylor is a hrpfer/chucky fan/matdrai thruther

i respect this anon because i too am still on my florida!!! bullshit 😂 i am willing to start the rumor that ms swift is a huge matthew fan. i mean, why else would her boyfriend have gotten a picture with him! (for legal reasons this is a joke)

for me florida!!! is more of a matthew/panthers song than a mattdrai song (tho obviously i respect the interpretation) ....... i love to lie on the floor and imagine the perfect fanvid i would make about the cats cup to it, if i knew at all how to make vids. if i were to pin it to a ship it would be matthewbenny but i could use it for matthewsasha as well......... it's just such a song that launches me immediately into my panthers cup feelings!!
