i wrote a poem for @timebegins-onopeningday a few weeks ago and decided i want to share it here. it's about danny jansen and jordan romano and spring training and the trade deadline and loving in secret and leaving with the world watching. and a little bit about the tragically hip, because i will never stop making baseball about the tragically hip.

format notes: there are blank spaces in the poem, and each one has a handful of words or phrases that fit in that space. if you read on my neocities site, each time you refresh the page, it will randomize each spot to make a slightly different variation every time. if you read it on ao3 (linked below the read more), you have to find the corresponding number and pick a word/phrase (the "word bank" is at the bottom, below the main text). i suggest reading it on neocities and reloading the page a few times to see what different versions you get, and then looking at all of the possibilities on ao3 if you would like.

for the hc questions: 🔥 and 🐬 for both romansen and biggiette :)

Oooo okay

Romansen

🔥 - Who realized they were interested in who first? 

I think Danny would realize it first be because I love Jordo but he gives me airhead vibes sometimes lmao. Obviously they’re super close friends and everything but I think it would take Jordo a while longer to realize he’s in love with Danny than vice versa.

🐬 - Who made the first move? 

While Danny realized it first, I think Jordo would make the first move. Once he realizes he is in fact in love with Danny, he’d make his mind up to tell him as soon as he has the chance.

Biggiette

🔥 - Who realized they were interested in who first? 

Hmmm. I think maybe Cav? Bo’s so focused on baseball that he doesn’t have time to think about romance and feelings and stuff. He wouldn’t really register that his feelings for Cav have changed until they’re apart during an offseason. But Cav would be helplessly in love with Bo since they were in the minors together, and would just be pathetically pining over Bo.

🐬 - Who made the first move? 

Definitely Cav again. Bo’s so reserved, and I don’t think he’d want to jeopardize their work relationship or the dynamics of the team by trying anything. (But when Cav makes a move/tells him how he feels he just feels so happy that he goes “fuck it”)

The First Triumvirate was an informal and secret political alliance formed in 60 BCE between three of Rome's most powerful figures: Julius Caesar, Pompey the Great, and Marcus Licinius Crassus. This alliance allowed them to bypass the Roman Senate's authority and consolidate power to achieve their individual goals. Julius Caesar sought military command and political support to further his ambitions...

game 3/? of the season

Bara för att jag nu börjar tänka på böcker jag tvingades läsa i skolan

Fyfan vad dåliga böcker jag läst på svenskan

Hade en lärare i högstadiet som alltid fick oss att läsa massor av sumpiga jävla romantiknoveller o jag är SÅ fucking trött på svenska författare och deras högstadieromanser

(Mycket för att svenskar också har en Sjuk obsession med mobbade nördkillar x populära tjejer som beter sig som om de vore 25 o inte fucking 15, o det får en Alltid att höja ögonbrynen) (Ni har aldrig upplevt smärta förens nu läst tre böcker på rad där 15-åringars “djupa klyftor” beskrivs varannat fucking kapitel)

Okay but can someone (if I write this myself I don't trust my own ability to do it justice it probably wouldn't be good enough) entertain the idea for a fic where its SpoilOfWar!Reader in ancient times:

1. RomanSoldier!Simon, Gaz, and Soap who bring SpoilOfWar!Reader with them on their journey back to Rome to retired general now RomanSenator!Price knowing that they would be a perfect addition to their home. SpoilOfWar!Reader complains and fights the entire way, expecting to be treated badly and turned into a slave, only to be very confused when these four romans begin lavishing them in fine clothes and jewels and treating them like a wife. Another roman citizen doesn't take kindly to that? How unfortunate for them since no one wants to incur the 141s wrath. Unfortunately this includes reader--because at the end of the day you certainly still view yourself as a spoil of war which leads to interesting debates.

2. SpartanSoldiers!141 taking reader as a spoil of war after they find them fighting back against one of their own and (nearly) winnng. They're impressed, like to the point where they just know they have to have reader as a spoil once their little war is done. Reader disagrees, doing everything in their power to prove that Sparta is worse than where they came from since the 141 act as if being a spoil of war was a favour. (And did they mention that Spartan women have more rights than the city-state reader came from?) They certainly lay on the promises that in time you'll be better off.

Bonus for AncientDeity!141:

Reader who escapes capture from being a spoil of war to a man named Graves. Desperately running and finding themselves at the Necromanteion (in our world, this is a temple for Hades and Persephone, but lets pretend the pantheon of this one is....different) where they pray to whatever Gods this temple is for only to accidentally summon the 141. Price, Simon, Gaz, and Johnny are all Underworld deities--they happen to rule it, together--and...well Godhood and immortality can be given to mortals. They know by just one look that they want to keep reader and reader prayed for help. A deal is struck. Pomegranate seeds are given. Which is where poor reader finds themselves: somehow immortal, bound to four underworld deities, and why are there flowers sprouting wherever they touch???

något jag tyckte de hanterade bra med "kärleks dramat" är att det tacklades som "de här ungdomarna startar puberteten och deras känslor är överallt, och de är rädda för att känna sig utanför" inte som om det är någon livsavgörande love story. Det var också kul att se Peo hitta kärlek efter skilsmässan, kanske för att han påminde mig om min morfar, och Ulla liknade min morfars flickvän.

Ja!! Älskar hur ungdomarna blir kära och avundsjuka på varandra utan att det måste sluta med att en av dem får tjejen. Väldigt true to life och roligt att se när fiktiv romans annars ofta har ett end goal, även när det är media för barn. (Har ändrats i barnmedia på sistone men i alla fall det jag växte upp med kändes så.) Miras avundsjuka på Irina är också intressant, när hon måste vänja sig vid att inte vara enda tjejen ombord.

Alltså Peo och Ulla är ju ett OTP! Peo som gett upp på lyckan i livet, har skilt sig och tappat kontakten med sina barn... Han blir fäst i dom här ungdomarna under äventyret, det ger honom livsgnistan tillbaka, han får mod att försöka på nytt, att uppvakta kvinnan han älskar, att inse att det inte är försent än! Det är så fint <3 Och att den huvusakliga romansen i slutet inte är mellan ungdomarna utan mellan gamlingen och en kvinna som inte ens är del av äventyret, men det märks att hon är viktig för honom.

Trick or treat! I would like to receive something :33

hello happy halloween! you get a (ridiculous and written very quickly and unedited and probably nonsensical) halloween romansen drabble!!

Danny strikes a pose. 

----------

“I can’t believe you, Jano,” Jordan cackles.

“What, don’t like it? It’s Halloween, gotta go all out, right?”

“George said you were dressing as spiderman, not…”

Jordan looks pointedly at what is not a Spiderman costume. Rather, Danny’s wearing a spider costume: eight legs coming out of the back of his shirt and big eyes stuck to a toque. Jordan’s gaze lingers on Danny’s legs, with his little short shorts and—

“George didn’t tell me you’re wearing fishnets!”

“They’re spiderweb pattern, see?”

“You look hot.”

“I know, right? I hear what you say about catcher thighs.”

----------

i hope you like it and happy trick or treating :)

[onewhositswithbluejays]

trick or treat!!

Since I know you love them so much, I tried to write you a little Romansen ficlet :)

Everyone else, feel free to send me stuff even after Halloween ends!

"Oh my god," Jordan gasped as he walked into the clubhouse and saw Jano standing next to a pile of boxes on a table. "Is that our bobblehead?"

Jano held up the box in his hand and grinned. "Yeah, come see."

Jordan rushed over and plucked up another box to inspect. "Damn! They shouldn't be allowed to make you look that hot."

"Me?" Jano snorted. "Look at you!" He mimed fanning himself. "Good thing I have the real thing or I'd be jealous."

Jordan smiled sheepishly and kissed Jano chastely. "Thanks." He went back to inspecting the box and raised an eyebrow when he saw the text on the side. "Romansen?"

"I've been told it's a, uh, ship name?" Jano cocked his head.

Jordan was still confused. "Like a ship ship?"

Jano shrugged. "I dunno man. I was ordered not to google it."

"Right..." Jordan chuckled. "Well, it's kinda cute."

"Right?" Jano smiled at him. "I thought so too."

"I think you're cuter," Jordan added.

Jano rolled his eyes but dragged him into a deeper, lingering kiss. "I could say the same about you."

Quaestor

The quaestor ("the one who asks questions") was the oldest and lowest office on the cursus honorum, or "path of honor" in ancient Rome. Considered a stepping stone to higher office in the Roman government, the duties of the quaestor ranged from administrating public properties and overseeing treasuries to collecting taxes and recruiting in the provinces, among other tasks.

romansen?

help im so hockey brained rn I stared at this for like a full minute trying to figure out who this was 😭

makes sense & compels me !! I looove a battery, there's just something so compelling to me about the trust and control and knowledge that comes with it. just believing that someone knows and understands you so well that you trust them to make decisions for you, to control you. and it goes both ways ! trust that you will make the plays that are called and do them well. it's especially interesting bc with a closer you're just kind of thrown in depending on how the game is going. It's very.. I could have anyone but god I hope it's you.

for then specifically I do think its interesting that the same season danny was stolen from us is the same season that jordans arm fell off :/ kind of crazy how that happened. also the organization gifting us with an official shup name???? romansen bobblehead you will always be famous!!!!

I dont have a fic rec for them bc I haven't read a ton of baseball fic but if any recs for me lmk !!

S-politikern petad – hade hemlig relation med politiska motståndaren

I maj i år träffades Elina Backlund Arab (S) och oppositionsrådet Robert Thunfors från Vårdpartiet (SJVP) för lunch. Några månader senare hade politikerna inlett ett kärleksförhållande. Romansen har nu lett till att Elina Backlund Arab har fått lämna sin post som ordförande medan Robert Thunfors är avstängd i väntan på utredning. Under torsdagen blåsigt berättelsen i Sundsvalls tidning. Nu…

ship ask for bobblehead battery icons danny & romano

Holy shit they make me lose my mind??? They have a ship name (thanks espi) that they used for marketing a bobblehead. The first time they played together Danny got a baseball to the throat and invited Jordan to dinner afterwards. They have known each other for so long and !!!!! Trading Danny is possibly the worst thing ever actually
