#pens stuff

[carnagechicken]

the Florida Panthers won the Stanley cup

and with that I have officially watched my first season of hockey.

I started as a fan of the penguins with an affection towards Flower as well. Now I’m ending the season a kraken fan, pens fan, flower fan and with more mattdrai interest than I expected.

The kraken stuff happened in mid April really suddenly, but ever since I started dabbling in hockey fandom in late 2021 I knew that becoming a kraken fan was going to happen eventually, a matter of when not if. Those beautiful jerseys, my love of cephalopods, and the team’s newness were strong draws but I still needed to have a special little guy to seal the deal. I discovered Adam Larsson in late march (thanks @angry-geno-is-score your fics* are brilliant<3) and what do you know that’s kraken hockey baby!

They’re probably going to be my main team next season. Still love the pens, their narratives are exquisite, but my brain wants kraken more.

(The mattdrai is a playoffs discovery that I fear I’ll never recover from. Leon’s disdain for the media and Matthew’s understanding that hockey is supposed to be theatre entertainment is *chef’s kiss*)

And with that here is a list, in no particular order, of some of notable things I saw this season,

: Tristan Jarry goalie goal!!! There was so much to like about this, the bench reaction, EK shaking Jars vigorously, Lars Eller going for a head boop and missing and then going for another one with more force, Ned trying to get Jars to skate over to do a fist bump line at the bench, Jars looking so bashful at the attention. :When Bryan Rust had that mustache and it was….kinda working. : Jeff Carter, the team Old Man that season, scoring like 3 breakaways and 2 short handed goals. : that shootout that went for 12 rounds (thank you Ned). : when Tanger got on all fours and started rocking back and forth in the locker room during Sully’s pre game speech (seriously wtf). : when Rusty scored in OT, had it waved off, and like ten seconds later scored again in a cooler way. : Sully becoming a grandpa<3. : when Jeff was a healthy scratch (the only time) and when he was asked about it was basically like ‘whatever, it doesn’t bother me, I just work here’. This was when I really started to like him btw. : Flower getting to 1000 games!! : Flower reaching the most wins!!! : kreider pulling out Matthew Tkachuk’s mouth guard and failing to throw it over the glass. : Florida beating Boston *again*. : that game were Sid got so pissed he screamed ‘no! No!’ at a ref so loud you could hear him over the crowd. He then proceeded to tell the ref ‘you fucked up’ :when Erik Karlsson made a mistake that sent the game to ot, scored in ot and then fell to his knees in relief. : that 10 to 2 victory over the sharks that was also Sid’s 1200 game. : sid scoring a goal off his ass. It had to happen one day : the pens ot win against vancouver back in Feb. The notable thing was that I was there with my dad and sisters <3

It's the little things that make hockey so fun!

Here's to a wonderful 24/25 season!

(*Seriously, if you haven't already, read Serenity in Those Deep Waters by @angry-geno-is-score on ao3, it's *fabulously* emotional and I can't recommend it enough)

If a man ever said "I remember watching you and thinking how lucky I was" to me I would simply have his baby. Sorry Geno but I'm different.

Why haven't you given Sid a child yet, G? Huh?

“So, like you once told me, I wish you more points, more goals, more games, and of course, more Cups.”

I DID IT. I FINALLY DID IT. THE BUG TAROT DECK IS COMPLETE!!!

🐛🦋🐞🪲🦟🪳🐜🦗🕷️🪰🕸️

y’all this took FIVE MONTHS…… almost a whole half a year…. it felt like it took just forever tbh but now it’s over… and READY TO BE MADE 💗💗💗

unfortunately I am poor and can’t make these without support- BUT if you like supporting queer disabled artists, and getting a cool hand drawn tarot deck out of it (and maybe some cool extras? I’m still working out what those might be!) I am running a Kickstarter project for these launching on September 24th!!

reward tiers include:

- $1-$39 just for support!

- $40 for a Major Arcana only set (22 cards)

- $50 for a Major + Minor Arcana set (full 78 cards)

- $75 for a full 78 card set WITH SILVER GILDED CARD EDGES!!

I also made a short video! it’s a little amateurish but hey it works well enough, and you can see the themes for the minor arcana in it!

link to the kickstarter!! we’ll be launching on the 24th but you can follow it now to be notified!!
