everytime i find out someone has assumed i had a crush on them because i treat them with (normal) platonic affection i die a little inside. i fear people have unnormalized just being decent and kind a little *too* much

The way you type is so hot woah 👉👈

Can I hop on the bandwagon and join your puppy playmate brigade?? If three puppysubs counts as a brigade jfgdjsk

Thank you so much!!! I have no idea what it is about the way I type that's hot, but I'm glad people like it :^)

I also love the implication that 2 puppies are playmates but 3 puppies...brigade. We are at WAR we are fighting for SNUGGLES, we are the Brigade, dammit! In that case, onward forward soldier, come on and join the fight 🫡

In all seriousness, I love other puppies and you're beyond welcome to join the little puppy party we've got going <3

Thanks again!!

just realized something and even tho it's something very silly i feel so bad about it 😭

[crossbackpoke-check]

"This extra space next to me belongs to you. I know where I end now. I won't get lost." -- shoot me (metaphorically) and leave me for dead (metaphorically) why won't you. To make this about Dylan and maybe it's about Connor, maybe it's about Brinksy, maybe it's about any journeyman in the NHL. My brain screamed Chris Driedger and his memorable (to me) Players' Tribune article:

And how can you mention Dylan and Zach (Za-ach, the way Dylan says it) without me having a breakdown about them? You simply can't. And for the younger dudes, maybe it's a little Bords/Briss, not yet steady in The Show, a little bit of distance, a summer that tries to erase and make up all the memories they've made separately... and then a blurry insta story in Vegas. Just like old times but somewhere else. Maybe it's not the same bed, maybe it's not the same set of forks, but maybe it's the principle of the thing.

Anyway, goodbye. Sorry for this, your tag walls make me break out in imagined scenarios.

Much love. xxx

please never be sorry for sending me messages <3 i love reading them i love getting them i think they’re beautiful and i love them i’m!!!!! [🥹💕🦋🫧✨💘😭 <- the best approximation of what my heart is doing]

ok NOW i am taking this step by step because every narrative here kicked me straight in the knees (metaphorically) i am w e e p i n g (literally): i knew tangentially about chris driedger going to seattle but i had never read his players’ tribune love letter to seattle & all i can say is oh. oh. and with the part about trains delayed but still being right on time—

sometimes a dream is a truth your heart knows long before you do. the space that the city and the team made for him (“you’d be the only guy on the team”)🗣️🗣️🗣️ !!! but the way that chris talks about needing to put in the work & leo not letting him quit,,, that’s chris filling up the teakettle with twice as much water, crowding one side of the bed (falling asleep against a bus window dreaming), becoming unburdened by the idea of not being their guy, not having the fallback being their draft pick to content and settle himself with. that’s chris betting on a future. that’s the train coming down the tracks, right on time.

(i am feeling unhinged about it)

SECOND. i know i was the one that said zach and dylan to start so technically i brought this on myself but also i have been ktfo by the mere mention of the way that dylan says zach’s name different from everyone else, stealing an extra breath, stealing as much time as he can get with him, which reminded me of a poem i just read:

The Need Is So Great, Jim Moore

^^^dylan still in love with zach even as he’s leaving, can feel himself losing him, and taking every sliver of the love in his smile that he can get. even if he knows zach doesn’t still feel the same way he’s drawing out the long goodbye & saying i love you in a thousand ways without ever saying it out loud (“i have been asking for a time but in ways that have no words” because he doesn’t want to ask too much, to ask for love) in the hope that zach will say it back OKAY I’M LEAVING i can’t do this

that was a lie because THREE. “maybe it’s the principle of the thing” please insert the most ungodly screech how could you just (lovingly) come in straight with the steel chair and bean me upside the head with that l i n e i think this story has the potential for such tragedy in it but also the most tender domestic longing because bords & briss have known each other for a long time (i think) and guys do sometimes lose themselves when they first get to the nhl.

it’s a big scene, you’re with big name guys, you’re finally doing the thing you always dreamed about, you’re no longer necessarily the best because everyone’s the best, you’re not sure how you fit in, you can get lost in the glitz and the glamor of it but you can also literally get lost in it, the slog of the season and getting caught up and down between teams and leagues and endless airports and buses and travel and ice rinks, losing your phone (accidental) and having new people hound you for quotes and fame and connection so you lose your phone (on purpose) and i think where i’m trying to go is: this could play out as the tragedy of borde going to the california coastline and briss shipping off to the vegas strip and both of them getting a little lost.

maybe there’s someone else, maybe i am steadfastly not thinking about “a summer that tries to erase and make up all the memories they've made separately” as either a summer of them pretending things are ok after a year of barely speaking and now being completely different people they never were before OR a summer of them trying to pretend like they can forget about each other because maybe they didn’t think their relationship was the same thing, is all, when they were or weren’t together. maybe it’s nobody’s fault but for the fact that they were scared and tired and lonely trying to make it in the big times and didn’t know how to show it. and then borde shows up with takeout and plastic forks in vegas and it’s december and nothing like winter in ann arbor and still they fill up all the empty spaces in each other with the things they didn’t know they’d miss until they were gone and this is the real thing, not whatever they were trying too hard to be, to recreate their own nostalgia for the love in their memories. it’s the principle of the thing, is all, to always be true to the love they have right now & not what they think it should be.

sorry that i wrote you kind of an essay of an answer but i had so so so many thoughts because your ask was so lovely so thank you for sending it to me (you are always welcome to!! i love your imagined scenarios!!! cannot even explain how much!!!) & thank you for taking the time to read my walls of tags :))) <3

What did you think of RE4 remakes ending song ?

I think that in comparison to OGs Leon incapability to leave the past behind, in the remake it really showcased something 180° different and new.

Also a little side note here about Leon's love for people in his life, i think that most of it comes with a projection where people cannot fathom ever loving anyone else in the future but also because Leon's probably a monogamous guy? Well either way, that argument falls flat because it's not really how monogamic person works. And the remake literally also emphasizes the entire point of moving on and for Leon, i think that's super important in more than one way.

Definitely feels like a new approach to his character

A little fun fact about me is that I'm a massive music nerd. Needless to say, 'The Bullet Or The Blade' had me going insane the first time I heard it, haha. Nothing quite gets me like a good character song, y'know? It's genuinely such a great song for Leon and his journey throughout RE4R, I get a bit emotional whenever it comes on in my playlists! I'd say my favorite verses of it are:

I fought a war and I learned how to win

But how do you fight when the enemy's within?

Find your pride, go deeper inside

For the fire that will light your way

The ones you trust can often betray

You're the hunter and then you're the prey

You pay the cost, it all feels lost

Then you hear a voice inside you say

Keep your eyes on the road ahead

Don't be drawn into the light or the shadows in your head

Keep your eyes on the road ahead

And don't ever look back, don't ever look back

It really just showcases Leon's entire mentality perfectly, and I adore it. You gotta keep moving forward, after all. It's one of his qualities that make him as compelling as he is. The way he continues to fight and move forward, no matter what life throws at him time and time again. Even if he has to do so battered, and hurt, and tired.

And this?

A lot of road now behind me

Every cut, every bruise, they tell their own story

Whatever's up ahead, around the next bend I know I will survive

I've learned how to live with regret

I can't forgive what I couldn't forget

The things I've learned, the strength that I've earned

I have it all by my side, as I ride

What a perfect send-off. His past scars (be it physical or emotional) will always stay with him. But he learns how to live with them. He learns how to move forward and move on from the burden of what he failed to do in Racoon City, in a way that's not as heavy anymore. I think that's beautiful for him.

Also, the instrumental is pretty reflective of that too, starting off with a more somber and melancholic melody and gradually growing into a hopeful and assertive one. Overall a perfect song to end his story with. It's my Roman Empire.
