#rookie chucky

[zeakis]

why is he like this

[imperatorrrrr]

would Love to crack open the jealous jack manifesto 🫂 perhaps even sitting on the same shelf as the protective nico manifesto bc the contrast between him shrugging stuff off on the ice re: himself vs him trying to punch travis konecny’s lights out for that hit on jack is SOOO

I have three asks about my Jealous!Jack Hughes Manifesto, which I promise you all I will get to, but I wanted to answer this one first.

Protective Nico Hischier: A Study

You're absolutely right, Anon, Nico tends to shrug things off when he's the one being targeted. Now that isn't to say he doesn't love a scrum because he absolutely does like to get into it from to time when he's feeling extra feisty. But there are some very good examples of him fighting because someone has targeted one of his guys.

time for some exhibits! special shout out to @jonasiegenthaler who is my fellow New Jersey Devils Historian <33

Exhibit A - Trouba hits Mango, and Nico immediately goes after him.

Exhibit B - One of the Wild players kind of shoves at Merce, and Nico jumps into the fray.

Exhibit C - This one is insane because this was from Nico's rookie year. He's so quick to come to Palms defense after EJ's knee on knee hit. Like look at how young Nico was here. This is years before Nico's first letter even.

Exhibit D - After R*mp*'s hit on Siegs, Nico who is significantly smaller than him, tries to start something with him even though our designated fighty fight guy, Dermy, is legit right there.

Exhibit E - Chucky Jr charges Shango and our Captain, who was getting ready to get back to the bench, must defend his teammate's honor.

Exhibit F - Chucky has a high-ish hit on Siegs then pesters Pally, and who comes rushing in to take him on? You guessed it! Its Nico Hischier!

Exhibit G - This one's a fun one because Bratter is initially defending Nico and then Nico comes back to defend Bratter. Silly boys.

Exhibit H - Last but certainly not least, Nico going feral when TK goes after Jack.

See the thing is, you mess with him? Most of the time he'll probably just charm the shit out of you or ignore you because you're not really worthy of his time he has hockey to play. Sometimes, if you're really annoying he'll call you a p***y and some other colorful things and shove at you or start something with you or if you're Adam Fox that one time he'll put his hands around your neck.

But if you play dirty with one of his guys, with his teammates, its mother fucking on. He's right there in the thick of it. He has been activated. You've said his code words. He will not be contained.

Its so very CAPTAIN of him isn't it?

*Monster by Kanye West ft. Nicki Minaj starts playing and it’s not acknowledged until Nicki’s verse*

Sam:

Pull up in the monster, automobile gangsta

With a bad

Jamie: bitch

Sam: that came from Sri Lanka

Yeah, I'm in that Tonka, color of Willy Wonka

You could be the king but watch the Queen conquer

Colin: *yelling*

Okay, first things first I'll eat your brains

Then I'ma start rockin' gold teeth and fangs

'Cause that's what a motherfuckin' monster do

Hairdresser from Milan, that's the monster 'do

Monster Giuseppe heel, that's the monster shoe

Young money is the roster and the monster crew

And I'm all up, all up, all up in the bank with the funny face

And if I'm fake, I ain't notice 'cause my money ain't

Isaac: *cuts off Colin*

So let me get this straight, wait, I'm the rookie?

But my features and my shows ten times your pay?

Fifty K for a verse, no album out

Yeah, my money's so tall that my Barbies gotta climb it

Hotter than a Middle Eastern climate, violent

Tony Matterhorn, dutty wine it, wine it

Nicki on them titties when I sign it

That's how these guys so one-track minded

Jamie: *gets in Isaac’s face*

But really, really I don't give a F-U-C-K

"Forget Barbie, fuck Nicki 'cause sh-she's fake"

"She on a diet, " but my pockets eatin' cheesecake

And I'll say bride of Chucky is child's play

Just killed another career it's a mild day

Besides, Ye, they can't stand besides me

I think me, you and Amb' should ménage Friday

Will: *cuts in out of no where*

Pink wig, thick ass, give 'em whip lash

I think big, get cash, make 'em blink fast

Now look at what you just saw, this is what you live for

Ah, I'm a motherfuckin' monster

*Sam/Colin/Isaac/Jamie/Will jumping up and down yelling and hyping each other up*

[bropunzeling]

hello jess bropunzeling i am pulling an all nighter for my 15 hour flight and i was wondering if you could send some rat baby girl leon girl dad matthew vibes my way. thank u or sorry in advance

15 hour flight?!?!?!?!?! jfc. im so sorry. some important, not especially coherent and perhaps inconsistent with previously posted vibes for u:

i think in my drama-loving heart of hearts leon absolutely goes into labor while matthew is on a road trip with the team. he has to catch an early flight back and spends the whole time texting his mother-in-law for updates and then is on the phone in the cab to the hospital and fully the stereotype of frantic messy dad-to-be. just like can we please go faster my WIFE is having a BABY i need to BE THERE so she can BREAK MY FINGERS AND SWEAR AT ME

(in the meantime the team is like uh yeah personal emergency and the twitter speculation is wild. lots of examining matthew's twitter and insta for Clues)

they decide not to learn the baby's sex until it's born bc fun! a surprise! and it takes matthew 1 microsecond of looking at baby girl's big blue cranky eyes to fall deeply irreversibly in love

(somewhere in here is a big emotional moment about leon being kind of scared to have a girl bc she has a complicated relationship to/navigation of femininity and is scared she's gonna mess something up and they have hard yet loving conversations while sleep deprived out of their little gourds. also they are so enamored with the baby.)

matthew shows up when the team comes back home all exhausted and euphoric like no yeah all good thumbs up bags under eyes looking like he’s optimistically gotten four minutes of sleep

you know the guy at your work who has to show you baby pictures or talk about their kid's milestones every time you stop by their office to ask about something else. that's matthew.

as leon starts gearing up to make Her Comeback she brings baby girl with her to the rink so matthew can watch her while she's working out. their teammates, who by this point are like chucky please give it a REST re: baby pictures, have to admit that is one cute baby.

everyone gets a chance to hold the baby while leon is skating. the rookies are terrified of dropping her, less bc of matthew and more bc of leon, despite the fact that leon won't be the one getting to them first

there are several very cute moments of matthew hanging around near the glass, baby girl in baby bjorn and enormous pom-pom hat, as leon skates up and waves to them. there are pictures

these are the pictures the team gets to post the summer after they win the cup/the draisaitl-tkachuk family goes public

somehow the fact that they are so cute makes the obnoxious girl dad behavior so much harder to bear. the team suffers.

[slashingdisneypasta]

I can't remember if this has been asked before. Just ignore this if it has 😅 but how would the pervy villains treat/react to a virgin S/O? (I'm pretty certain there'd be plenty of teasing from at least one of them XD)

Ooooooooh, love this XD Omg which one are you referring to? XD

~

Warnings: Quick rape mention in Hades (Saying that he WOULDNT, though. Don't worry 😅), but mostly just regular sexual references all round.

Most of them are pretty much jazzed about it, in short XD In long, though-

Pervy Villains x Virgin!Reader || Reactions

Beetlejuice: "That's cute~~ " My god, the look of pure and unadulterated, unrestrained, unfiltered, nasty-filthy-horny LUST in this ghosts eyes will be terrifying.

Okay lets assume you give him full consent. Let me just warn you... he moves fast, he's grabby, and he's vocal- this is not gonna be watered down just cuz its your first time. It'll be good, but it'll be wild and probably kinda gross 😅 luckily we like that around here no?... i'll show myself out-

Chucky: "... Been a while since I had a rookie~~ Heheh. Don't worry doll, I'll show you eeeverything you gotta know."

Chucky is gonna enjoy this XD But not quite to the extent BJ, Freddy and Offender all do XD ... Kinda wants you to call him Coach, tho-

Freddy Krueger: So you have chosen mortification?? Interesting. Very interesting. Telling 😏 in fact. You like a little humiliation kink?? Oh yes, I see you CRYSTAL CLEAR, ma'am/sir/nonbinary friend! And I'm not judging you at all. I am telling you you certainly came to the right place, though XDD

Alright, in the event that you consent to this man- welllllll I think this is maybe best coming from Freddy himself:

"I should warn you, princess... the first time tends to get a little... messy."

Greasy Weasel: He's definitely gonna want to use your naivety to mould you. Like-

Greasy: *thinking how he got so lucky as to find a sweet S/O who actually wants to fuck him, who's so so innocent, and this seems like a sign~ that yes, si, he should exploit- * Wheezy: *Notices the Wheels Turning and smacks him*

... Depending on how much he genuinely likes you, he may figure out how to restrain himself XD

Hades: ... *sigh* "Of course you are." I like to think his devotees keep trynna sacrifice virgins to him and he's so over it. Like, what do they expect him to do with them?? Rape them?? That's not really his style. Thanks, he guesses. But next time maybe a nice fruit basket, K? And now he's finally met someone- someone he actually digs- and they just so happen to be a virgin. ... this is just not going to help his case at all is it? 😅😂

Offenderman: Oh he knew it from the moment that he saw you. He could smell it~ (Through non-existent nostrils) You are just the cutest damn thing, and since he likes you so much- he's gonna drag this out as long as he can (;

🚔 / nica or nica!chucky.

send 🚔 for a starter where our muses share a prison cell | still accepting.

A painful scrape running down her calf and under one stained white sock, her shoes tossed laceless into an evidence bag somewhere unknown. Something torn inside her mouth, its counterpoint bruise on the outside of her cheek aligning perfectly with the wheel arc of a police cruiser — only for those in-the-know, of course, illicit knowledge and recognition. The steel is barcode like and cold against Mary Dahl's arms.

"What time is it?" she says finally, speaking in a mumble that just manages to break through the buzz of fluoroescent lights, the rumble of the bullpen overhead, the shriek and sob and gutterscum conversation coming from neighbouring cells. Dim light, dull aches. Over Nica's shoulder she can see a waifish cop — rookie, weakling, babysitter, she notes — posed in the act of business behind a desk.

It feels like it's been hours, but like a casino there's no daylight to see if the sun has cracked the horizon yet.

"Gotta call my fucking lawyer."

[bropunzeling]

lower body injury is such a beautiful name for rat baby

anon, u and i are on the same wavelength, so an outsider!pov treat 4 u

Emma isn't stupid, okay?

Like, okay, yes she broke her washing machine (twice). And yes, she got lost in the practice facility (only the once). But she has eyes, and a working brain, and when Leon spent their entire series against Ottawa looking green and constantly checking in with the trainers, she could put two and two together. She has sisters. She knows the drill.

Still, doesn’t mean it isn't kind of freaky to show up at the pre-training camp team barbecue and spot Leon sitting in a lawn chair, drinking a distinctly non-alcoholic seltzer, with what’s pretty clearly a baby bump.

"Lower body injury, huh?"

Leon blinks and squints at her as Emma sits down in the chair next to hers. "Hey, rookie."

"Not a rookie," Emma says automatically. It’s been two years. She thinks she's earned some rights.

"Uh-huh." Leon kicks her legs straight out in front of her and braces her La Croix can on her stomach. "Is that what they decided to call it?"

"That's what Coach said." Emma had caught it while watching the press conference about who was coming to camp on Twitter. "You really gonna be back by January?"

Leon groans and shifts in her chair. "That's the plan," she says. "So long as someone cooperates."

"Is really that the way you're gonna talk about our kid?"

Emma looks up. Matthew waves at her while holding a couple more seltzers. Emma waves back, feeling like a dork. "Hey Chucky."

"Hey Millsy. You have a nice summer?" Without skipping a beat, he cracks open a new seltzer and hands it to Leon. "You need any food, babe?"

"I need to be done being pregnant," Leon says, with the same cranky tone she uses to talk about her and Emma's least favorite SB Nation blogger. It makes Emma snort.

"I know, you've been saying," Matthew says. He turns and eyes one of the plastic folding tables. "How about some salad? And Ryan's wife brought that potato thing you like."

"I mean, I'd take some potato thing," Leon says, shading her eyes with a hand.

"On it."

They watch Matthew make his way back to the food table, getting waylaid every couple feet by some teammate or another.

"You should come by after camp tomorrow," Leon says.

Emma glances at her. "Yeah?"

"Yeah." Leon nods. "I wanna hear what you did this summer. How am I gonna know what my favorite rookie was up to?"

Not a rookie, Emma thinks, but she nods. "I can do that."

"Good. And I can have someone new to complain to." Despite her tone, though, Leon looks -- Emma's not sure of the right word. Content, maybe, as her hand rests on her stomach. Fond, too, as Matthew comes back their way with a plate.

"Sounds good," Emma says, nudging Leon’s foot. "You can tell me all about that lower body injury."

Leon laughs.

[swaterhousett]

[text: chucky] i know, i can’t believe i used to tell guys in my rookie years they should be satisfied after winning once. what a punk lol. that is probably true but better to be prepared. i know, you’d get sick of me if i didn’t work 😂 well no but i helped make her! yknow i thought about it, but waterhouse isn’t nearly as intimidating of a name in the hockey world.

[text] oh i know, i’m one of the more entertaining guys in the league, i did charm you after all. 😏 was js i can understand your nerves when stuff releases. even if your music is more personal. maybe, but you’re also bias. yeah yeah. good.

[txt]; did you really? that's quite funny and a little unexpected. prepared for what? scandal payoffs? 😂 hush, now..I'm likely already sick of you 😈 and just as you take pride in your virality, I'll take pride in providing her a cozy flat for 9 months 🤷🏼‍♀️ just means I've got work to do.

[txt]; also one of the non robots, but I don't know if the world is ready for that discussion yet. don't explain, I get it. I just was feeling mm, extra sentimental with everything? I'm not! well, I am, but I would tell you! did you just yea, yea me?

@tkachukyxcheese
