the fact that there's so much emphasis on purity culture in the vc fandom lately is deeply disturbing

Jerome waiting for Buggs and Cindy to stop flirting so they can make the hardest decision in the history of their trio (it's just a simple movie choice)

This was so funny to me I quickly drew it

Also canon af, Jerome is tired of this, maybe he should invite his crush to do this to Buggs and Cindy lol

hi again my favourite mitch scholar! i have a quick question. what line did mitch used to play on in his drbut year? and the few years after and how did the progression to him getting to play on auston’s wing looked like? thanks :)

hi there! disclaimer: i wasn't a fan way back when and it's actually pretty hard to find the lineups before about 2019, but from the couple things i've looked up here... this is the lineup from january 1st, 2017, which is about halfway through his first season.

he spent a lot of time playing with jvr and bozak if what i've read/remember is right. his average toi during 16-17 was a little under 17 minutes, and he was fairly productive, esp as a rookie.

for the 17-18, here's a few lineups i could find.

still playing quite a bit with jvr and bozak, and sometimes getting elevated (or demoted) but babcock really hated playing him with auston like...... ever, lol. even when things went stale, like they never played on the same line. you can go through @1634archive for things back from 2016/2017/2018 and see where they got to be on ice for goals at the same time whether they were out there for a shift or a powerplay, but there's not a TON that aren't warmups bc they rlly didn't play together much despite wanting to. you can also look through this thread i made on twitter about all of the goals they've combined on.. though there are zero their first year in the league bc they legitimately were never out there together.

it seems like the first time they were actually put on a line together on purpose was late january 2019 bc the lineup had gone THAT stale that babcock caved, lol. here's snippets of auston and babcock media availability about them getting to play together.. and also here's a radio interview (@3:30ish) auston did around that time too where he says he liked that he was put on a line with mitch and reiterates that he played w him virtually never at 5v5 the first 2.5 years.

the fact that auston even makes a comment about how much babcock doesn't like it is just so...... telling to me, lol. either babcock hated the fact that auston had a preference or opinions about the lineup and was sticking it to him by never giving him what he wanted or... he hated mitch or both or SOMETHING. they clearly had problems... p sure there are even reports babcock literally flew to arizona to smooth things over with him at some point... babcock was a really stubborn and hardass coach who thought a lot of demented shit so lol ANYWYA.

even after that first time they were allowed to play together.. mitch finished out the 18-19 year on jt's wing and started the 19-20 year on it too.

babcock was fired 23 games into the 19-20 season after they went 9-10-4 and were on a 5 game losing streak. here's an article about it. it only came out later about the making a rookie mitch rank his teammates list but just validated the firing even more.

and here we are into january of 2020 after sheldon keefe takes over and mitch gets back from an injury, lol. he immediately was willing to give them a shot and ever since, it's been something that's always on the table when lines need a shakeup.

there are a lot of conclusions you can come to with all this information i feel like, but i hope it was helpful!! this is why it drives me nuts when people act like mike babcock was valid to "keep them apart" aka literally never play them together for years no matter how stale and bad the lineup got like... it got his ass fired, lol. no it was not a valid way to be with two exceptional players. i'm not saying a coach should just listen to their players wishes 24/7, but the inability to accept feedback or take into account preferences is wild and will get you nowhere. i wasn't around for all that, but knowing what we all know about mike babcock now.... idk, i appreciate sheldon keefe's ability to adapt more. people can think what they want about him relying on parts of his lineup as "crutches" but realistically, we don't know about his relationships with the players and 1634 are consistently the best and most dangerous part of the lineup year after year these days.

mitch and auston put up career numbers playing next to each other, and both of them know it and have wanted it since they developed their little warmup routine as literal rookies, and they're hopefully gonna get to play together for a long long time like elliotte said. :)

also this has really put me through the moral framework because going from dsmp -> D&P does insane things to your brain when it comes to rpf 😭

starting to freak out about being disabled and needing a job to survive and how i'm struggling to even do 2 very easy, Very part time jobs rn and i have to find a new job very soon and i'm still in the process of getting diagnoses and i can barely maintain a social life or my house and 2 of my parents don't even know how bad it is bc i'm scared to tell them 🥴

[fates-theysband]

reading the dunwich horror like yeah i can make this scene fucked up in a way that resonates more with me as someone who has a weird sort of identification with the various creatures of the mythos as they have kind of evolved in the literary and cultural consciousness and wishes they had come from the pen of someone with a less disgusting worldview.

and i can then incorporate that into the backstory i'm building for the self insert character i made for an anime gacha game because i want to kiss the lady named after the guy from crime and punishment and the dude named after the guy from the stranger.

This probably isn’t Anything, but I’m starting to get really annoyed at the way people will talk about “bad/amateur” art being necessary for creativity to thrive, but at the same time like... being really smug and condescending about it.  Like they can’t stop themselves from stressing how “bad” the art is, but still indulging it.  It’s very much the same energy as somebody who looks at a modern art piece and says, “Well, my kid could have done that, but I guess it’s still impressive in its way.”
