flames head coach ryan huska on teaching:

aaand THIS is why old school asshat babcock, sutter type coaches aren't effective anymore. why mackinnon said these types of coaches are short-term bc you really can't scare ppl into playing well for 82 games over eight months. fuck yes. (see "communication" here)

Bargain of Blood and Gold by Kristin Jacques - 3.75/5 stars

Reminiscent of Jordan L Hawk's Widdershins series, but with vampires and werewolves. Also takes place in Maine, which isn't a very common setting. Unwittingly, I bought the second book in the series months ago, and I realized as it got to the top of my TBR that I didn't have the first book! I had to scramble to order it and I was happy I enjoyed it since, obviously, I already have the second book.

Ander & Santi Were Here by Jonny Garza Villa - DNF at pg 2

Captive Prince by CS Pacat (reread) - 5/5 stars

Prince's Gambit by CS Pacat (reread) - 5/5 stars

Kings Rising by CS Pacat - 5/5 stars

I think I loved these books even more on my reread.

Gravity by Tal Bauer - 4.25/5 stars

Probably my favorite hockey romance that I've read.

The Modern Mythos Anomaly by Juniper Lake Fitzgerald - DNF at pg 132

I actually liked the story, the characters, and the writing in general, but this book just needed another few edits to slim it down a bit.

Lose You to Find Me by Erik J Brown - 4.5/5 stars

Leeward by Katie Daysh - 4.5/5 stars

The blurbs on this book are hilarious, because they're all like, tall ships people, and then Mackenzi Lee, hailing it as a lovely queer historical romance. This was a really lovely book and I'm excited for the sequel. Also hoping for more kissing in the sequel since this was a serious slow burn.

Riley Weaver Needs a Date to the Gaybutante Ball by Jason June - 3.75/5 stars

Starseer by Katya Hernández - 4/5 stars

Be Dazzled by Ryan La Sala - 5/5 stars

I loved this book so much!! Oh my god. Super funny, very romantic. It revolves around cosplay which is of course a special interest of mine.

Northranger by Rey Terciero and Bre Indigo - 4.5/5 stars

Flying Without a Net by EM Ben Shaul - 2.75/5 stars

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley (reread) - 5/5 stars

Striking Distance by Sarah Rees Brennan - 4.75/5 stars

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. The graphic novels were good but changing to a novel format allowed for much deeper characters. Surprisingly devastating and also really funny.

The Old Haunts by Allan Radcliffe - 4/5 stars

The Gay Best Friend by Nicholas DiDomizio - 5/5 stars

Main character is the best friend of both the bride and the groom, and everything surrounding the wedding becomes a train wreck beginning on the weekend of the bachelor party, when the bride asks the MC, Dom, to keep tabs on the groom for her. As someone who is extremely conflict avoidant with friends but not family and romantic partners, I heavily related to Dom. There's also a romance that I really loved.

Romance Languages by AJ Truman - 4.25/5 stars

I think this was my favorite of the South Rock series. It deals with some more difficult topics—Julian's self-loathing over his body image is heartbreaking (and relatable), and Seamus's guilt over the way his gambling addiction hurt his ex was very well done. I'm a sucker for stories where a character learns to ask for help, not to mention difficult parent-child relationships, and this had both. I also appreciated Julian's arc re: sex and virginity.

Darkhearts by James L Sutter - 5/5 stars

Another bandmates-in-love treasure, with a twist—the main character, David, left the band right before they got famous. He ends up falling for one of his ex-friends/bandmates after they reconnect. The author is a musician himself, and it definitely shows (in a good way). I'm really a sucker for The Burdens of Fame, which this book definitely had, but there's actually a really good arc for David and how he deals with his jealousy and resentment over being left behind. Plus he wants to be a carpenter rather than go to college, which was cool.

Brute by Kim Fielding - 4.25/5 stars

We Could Be So Good by Cat Sebastian - 5/5 stars

What can I say about this book? Why was it so lovely? Why did it make me feel so much? Why can I not rate things higher than 5 stars? It's a million stars in my heart. Aside from just being a gorgeous mid-century America m/m romance (my favorite), this one features an Italian-American main character. The stuff with Nick's family was spot-on. I just loved this book. I felt like I was wrapping myself in a big, comfy, historical gay romance blanket.

Drowned Country by Emily Tesh - 5/5 stars

The sequel to Silver in the Wood. Had a very mythic and sort of folk horror vibe. This one is from Henry Silver's POV instead of Tobias Finch's and takes place two years after Silver in the Wood, which is time that Henry has mostly spent sulking in Greenhollow Hall, sans Tobias. Really highly recommend this duology. Emily Tesh is a treasure.

The Alchemy of Moonlight by David Ferraro - DNF at pg 11

For director's commentary, anything you care to share for marriage bets, please and thank you! (They reach such breathtaking heights of stupidity, god I love them.)

ty anon! i love these absolute losers too. for you, the section from the spain chapter (my fave chapter 😊) where matthew says he's leaving calgary:

They settle up the tab, then start on their walk back to the hotel. As they walk, they stay close enough together that their elbows bump every other step [i loved writing the constant physical contact in this section. it does a lot of things: show you what kind of person leon is (demonstrative!); get at their increasing comfort with each other; it's also like, when you're with someone long distance, you do get more touchy feely than normal (or at least that was really the case in my experience!)], while Leon tells him more about his childhood, about where he grew up. Matthew comes away with only a hazy impression of Cologne itself, but a much clearer one of Leon’s family. Learning to skate surrounded by his dad’s teammates. Having Kim send him song suggestions when he got homesick as a teenager in Saskatchewan. Cooking lessons with his mom, most of which went badly, but a few things turned out okay.

Mostly, Matthew can see how much Leon likes them. Even though he must only get to see them for snatches of time, a few weeks a year. [i love the family/distance/loneliness themes in this fic a lot and i especially love it as a form of common ground for them to start building a real relationship. i may have said before but there was some post-trade quote from daryl sutter about matthew seeming lonely/spending all his time at the rink that really really informed this fic and the themes, and having the compare/contrast with leon was a nice like, foundational thing to build on]

“You must miss them,” Matthew says during a break in Leon’s recollections, as they wait for a crosswalk light to turn.

“I…” Leon trails off, then shrugs. “I mean, it’s been hard,” he says. “Pretty much always, but especially with—you know.”

“Yeah,” Matthew says. He does know. Even though there was only half the distance between himself and his own family, he knows. [they have more in common than they think! they can relate to each other!] He looks at the light on the other side of the street, focusing on the red man stopping them from stepping onto empty pavement. [spent [redacted] amount of time looking up spanish crosswalk signals like do they ALSO have the little red man in the hat?] “Do you ever think about moving back? Being closer?”

“And give up NHL hockey?” Leon clicks his tongue as he shakes his head. “No way. I want to play with guys at my level, you know?” [trade offs and what you'll do for what you want - another eternal theme in the jess bropunzeling catalog]

“No, no, I know,” Matthew says quickly. “But if that wasn’t an issue? Would you?”

This time, Leon sighs. “I don’t know,” he finally says. “Maybe.” [leon is lonely too!!!! when i was restarting this fic again (i had finished approximately the first two chapters and then took a 6 months hiatus for girl!leon reasons) and trying to figure out the flow, figuring out this aspect of leon's characterization for the fic really unlocked somrthing for me, because i needed a reason for them to want to continue besides sexual attraction, and once this hit me i was like duh!!! he's lonely, and this flirtation/connection to matthew is assuaging that loneliness]

The light turns. They start crossing. Matthew does his best not to stagger as all the drinks they’ve been having catch up with him.

Once they’ve crossed the street, Leon clears his throat. Matthew looks over at him, but Leon’s looking ahead. “It’s like,” he says, frowning in concentration. “Edmonton is good, right? Like, the guys, Connor and Ryan and Tyson and everyone—they’re great. The best.” [i was writing this around the time tyson barrie got traded and leon was SO SAD in his depression beige ensemble that i was like more tyson! it all needs more tyson!which then led to another fave scene of leon drunk dialing matthew from darnell's wedding] Matthew thinks about interrupting, saying something about his own impressions of Oilers past and present, but that would ruin the moment, and he doesn’t want to ruin it. “And I’ve been—it’s been good, the team, and everything. But.” Leon shrugs. “It’s not a good town to be alone in.” [no shade to the city of edmonton but there is not enough sunlight in the winter imo] [also like. being a pillar of the team in THAT town and not having someone else who gets it and can support you (without being a teammate, who would only be intimately tied to your struggle/unable to see things from the outside)? it would suck! i think!]

Matthew should say something. He doesn’t know what. He settles for swaying closer to Leon, for bringing them back into contact again. [touch touch touch] Judging by the way Leon doesn’t move away, that’s enough.

“So,” Leon says. “I don’t know. If there was an option to play closer to home… maybe.”

Matthew nods. Puts one foot carefully in front of the other, trying not to trip and stumble. Walking down the sidewalk, in a city he’s never been to before and may never visit again, his shoulder brushing against Leon’s with every other step, he has that soap bubble feeling again of suspension, impermanence. Like he’s somewhere where none of the rules matter, where he can say the things he’s been thinking about for weeks and they won’t become real yet. [i just like this paragraph a lot! that feeling of being somewhere unreal because it's late and you're drunk and sharing big secrets]

Things like: “I’m leaving.”

There’s a pause. Then, Leon says, in a tone Matthew doesn’t think he could decipher even if he were sober, “You’re leaving here early?” [poor leon is panicking so bad here and trying so hard not to show it]

Matthew shakes his head, hard enough that his vision spins. “No, no, not here. I mean—I’m leaving Calgary.” [also tipsy conversations are great for those little moments of miscommunication because the drunk mind really does make those leaps, so you can believably have people say one thing and have it interpreted another way without it being obnoxious]

Leon exhales, hard. “Oh.”

Another pause. Matthew looks up at where the palm trees are swaying and the stars are beginning to blink into appearance; stops when he starts to get dizzy. Fuck, they drank a lot tonight. When he stumbles, something catches him before he can eat it on the pavement. Leon’s hand, warm around his elbow. [TOUCH TOUCH TOUCH also like, leon just thrives in supportive boyfriend mode. he wants to be Supportive Boyfriend Leon so bad.] That makes it easier to explain. “I wasn’t—I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Most of this season, to be honest. But I wanted to get through the playoffs first. Wanted to—we were good, me and Johnny, and Lindy, and Marky. Solid. We could’ve—but we didn’t. And then I was—it’s really sucked, the last couple years. Not being able to go home, or see my family, or do anything, you know? All I have in Calgary is hockey, and we didn’t measure up.” He shrugs. Leon keeps holding on, which is—nice. “So. I’m gonna leave.”

They take a few more steps in silence. When Leon speaks, it’s very quiet. “Do you know where you’re going to go?”

Matthew shrugs again. “Not sure yet. East, probably. Tampa. Florida. Carolina. Maybe even St. Louis. I haven’t decided.” [catch me spending so much time reading that article in the athletic about how the trade went down just to inform this one paragraph]

Leon hums. Matthew imagines he can feel it, from somewhere deep in Leon’s chest traveling down his arm and up Matthew’s, until it finds a home in his ribs. [is this a little flowery? maybe, but i like it so it stayed] “It’ll be different. Not playing against you as much.”

That startles a laugh out of Matthew. “Yeah, I’m sure you’ll hate it. Battle of Alberta is going to be way more boring.” [flirt flirt flirt. in all seriousness though, i like this as a tension break, obviously, but also like - leon expressing something he means (bc he's very straightforward) and matthew treating it lightly/as an opportunity for a joke/to break the tension is just a nice way to demonstrate how they're far apart, still, in how they understand their relationship to each other. but also flirt flirt flirt]

“Maybe that’ll be nice,” Leon says lightly. “I could do with fewer bruises.” [you love the bruises you horny freaks]

“Come on, don’t lie. You’re gonna miss having me there.” Matthew grins, then feels it fade as what he’s said sinks in. Leon knows now. Leon could tell—someone. “Fuck, now you’ll have an advantage. I don’t even know why I’m telling you this.” He stops talking, squinting at the streetlights. “Why am I telling you this?” [i love this beat too! matthew tells leon his secrets almost without meaning to bc acknowledge it or not they trust each other now]

Leon’s hand tightens around his elbow, then loosens again. “I don’t know. Because I’m your husband, I guess?” [trying so hard to seem casual but he is sosososo not casual]

“Not a good one,” Matthew says, unable to stop himself from teasing.

“Hey.” On his next step, Leon bangs his shoulder straight into Matthew’s, hard enough to nearly send him off the sidewalk and into the street. [flirty! and yet again - physical contact bc theyre together and can do that now] The only reason he doesn’t fall over is because of Leon’s grip on his arm. “This trip was my idea, wasn’t it?”

“Yeah, because you were an asshole to me,” Matthew points out as he rights himself. [matthew is gonna milk that as much as he can lol] “It’s gonna take more than a nice vacation to make up for that.”

“Yeah?” Now Leon’s hand is sliding, traveling down to Matthew’s wrist, and then further, to wrap around his palm. [i love people holding hands bc i am a sap] “What else do I have to do, then?”

Matthew hums as loudly and obnoxiously as possible, [it is so important to me that they are both so obnoxious even when having important romantic moments] flexing his hand, testing Leon’s grip. “I’ll think about it.”

Leon laughs, but doesn’t let go. “You do that.”

“I will.” Matthew nods. “Gonna give you a—fuck, what’s the word. Fair shot.”

“That’s generous.”

“I’m a generous guy.” [i love banter!!!! for a romcom to romcom there must be banter!!!!! it's why the questions and the spain sequence were so fun to write]

“Even if it might help me win?” [OK so ORIGINALLY i did not have this line or the next exchange in my first draft, bc one of the things i was trying to do in this whole second half of the fic (from leon's apology up until leon's attempt to actually propose) was have you, the reader, and matthew, the pov character, just -- forget about the bet. it needed to seem and feel realer and realer, because what was happening between them was turning into a real relationship with a true sense of connection and honesty and sincerity, so (a) you get where leon is coming from with the proposal (bc his feelings are real! it's real to him! it has been for months! he thinks matthew would say yes!) and (b) MATTHEW can suddenly remember the bet and react so so badly because he wants that sincerity so much and thinks it was never there, and then you get him telling leon he won the bet and it all comes crashing down :)

the point being: i didn't have this and then my beta was like are you gonna bring up the bet??? because i keep forgetting there's a bet, and i was like okay i am maybe doing my job too well, we can have ONE more mention before the build up in chapters 7 and 8]

It takes a moment for the chirp to register. When it does, there’s a second where Matthew’s not sure what to say. He keeps forgetting about that part, the part where it’s a competition. There’s something about being here that’s made it slip his mind. [and this is why my beta was right bc then i can point to my own tricks hohoho] The wine, maybe, or the weather. Or Leon’s fingers, warm around Matthew’s hand. [also i just like these two sentences. hand holding!]

“Even then,” Matthew says. Adds, “But you’re not gonna win.” [competitive freaks in love :)]

Leon’s laugh is startled, pleased. Or at least, Matthew thinks it is. He’s pretty sure. “We’ll see about that.” [and he DOES win. he's a great husband :)]

[drabbles-mc]

I would like to see your opinions on the Sons of Anarchy characters in the SEND ME A FANDOM game 🥰

Omg I would love to give you my opinions! Let's get into it! 🥰

The first character I first fell in love with: Right off the rip I was an Opie girl. Ryan Hurst has me in the realest chokehold and I will never escape it. 😌

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Okay so you know. I think it's funny. Because I think that if I wasn't a fic writer, I never really would've given Kozik a second thought. I wasn't drawn to him really all that much when I watched the show. But for a while I had gotten a good number of requests for him and writing him really made me enjoy his character so much more.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: It's unreal how much I want to drop-kick Gemma Teller. 😂 I feel like I could write out a laundry list of reasons but I'm not gonna. I just. I don't like her. 😂

The character I love that everyone else hates: We love and respect Tara Knowles here at drabbles-mc. 😌 That's my wife and I love her.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: By the time the end of the series came around, I was sort of just...over Jax. I think it had more to do with Kurt's writing than anything else. But I wasn't really all that torn up about the whole thing. Like, I was sad that the series was over but by that point Sutter had killed off 85% of the characters anyway so like??? It sort of all had to end lmao. I really enjoyed early seasons Jax, and I kept wanting things to get better as the series went on, but it didn't. Sad. Luckily we have fanfic 😂💯

The character I would totally smooch: Juice Ortiz will never be able to escape me and my insanity over him. He's really in it now. 😂

The character I’d want to be like: My knee-jerk reaction to this was to say Nero. And that's not untrue. But honestly the more I think about it, I'd love to be more like Bobby. Man had his head on straight more than pretty much anyone else in the series. Plus like, I wanna just bake cookies and play music and get high and all that. What a life!

The character I’d slap: I don't want to reuse any answers. So. I'm gonna go with Clay on this one. Only instead of slapping I would like to full-on fist fight him. I'd beat those arthritic hands right into the ground, baby!

A pairing that I love: The way I truly almost didn't have an answer for this as far as canon romances goes because literally everyone was a fucking mess 😂 But Tig and Venus came out on top when all was said and done. If anyone deserved to have a functional relationship in the middle of the mess, it was her.

A pairing that I despise: Literally WHYYYYY did Sutter keep writing Ima back into the show??? What was her purpose?? They could've left her character completely out of the series and it wouldn't have changed a thing. I hated all the storylines surrounding her and the guys. That poor actress. I want to fight Sutter bare-knuckle in a Denny's parking lot.

Thank you for this!

Send me a fandom!

Reality TV Star's Safety Reassurance

[phonemantra-blog]

Ryan Sutter, a beloved figure in Bachelor Nation thanks to his role on "The Bachelorette" and his enduring marriage to Trista Sutter (née Rehn), recently found himself amid an online frenzy. A heartfelt yet cryptic message dedicated to Trista on social media sparked fan speculation about the couple's relationship, prompting Sutter to clarify his intentions. Let's delve deeper into the events that unfolded, the misinterpretations that arose, and Sutter's ultimate message to fans. Ryan Sutter Clears the Air A Message of Love, Misunderstood: The Cryptic Post and Fan Reactions On Ryan Sutter's Instagram feed, a black and white photo of him and Trista appeared with a caption expressing his longing for his wife. The message, while undeniably loving, lacked context, leading fans to jump to conclusions. Here's a breakdown of the post and the resulting speculation: The Post: Sutter's message conveyed his desire to talk to Trista, hear about her day, and simply be present for her. However, he acknowledged that she needed "time to discover herself again," indicating a period of separation. Fan Speculation: The lack of context led fans to believe the worst. Some speculated about a marital separation, while others feared for Trista's well-being, with some even fearing her death. Clarification and Relief: Sutter Sets the Record Straight Sensing the confusion and concern his post had caused, Ryan Sutter took to Instagram once again to provide clarification. Here are the key points from his follow-up message: Intention Behind the Post: Sutter intended the message as a personal expression of love for Trista, hoping she would eventually see it. He intended it for a private moment between them, not public consumption. Misunderstanding and Media Frenzy: Sutter acknowledged his departure from his usual content and the unintended consequences. The post, meant for Trista, was misinterpreted and picked up by media outlets, leading to a public outcry. Assurance and Return to Normalcy: Sutter reassured fans that both he and Trista are doing well. He closed the message with a humorous note, suggesting a return to his usual dog-centric posts. Second Round of Reassurance: Sutter Clarifies Trista's Absence This wasn't Sutter's first attempt at clarifying the situation. Shortly after the initial cryptic post, he addressed fan concerns directly: Trista's Well-Being: Sutter assured fans that Trista is "fine" and that they are "great." Temporary Separation: He explained that Trista was pursuing a personal opportunity that required her to be temporarily inaccessible. Missing Trista: Despite the temporary separation, Sutter expressed his love and longing for his wife. The Enduring Love Story: Ryan and Trista Sutter Ryan Sutter and Trista Rehn's love story captured the hearts of Bachelor Nation in 2003. Trista, the first Bachelorette, chose Ryan as her final rose, and their televised wedding solidified their status as a reality TV power couple. This recent episode, though unsettling for fans, ultimately serves as a testament to the enduring love and commitment between Ryan and Trista.

WOLF PACK WEEKEND RECAP: MARCH 18th, 2024

By: Alex Thomas, Hartford Wolf PackHARTFORD, CT—The Hartford Wolf Pack dropped their fifth straight contest on Sunday evening, falling 4-0 to the Hershey Bears. This is the second time this season that the Wolf Pack has suffered five consecutive losses.The team packed up and drove to Rochester, NY, on Sunday night, where they'll set up shop for the next three days. The Pack will take on the Rochester Americans for the second and final time this season on Wednesday night as part of their current four-game road trip.Saturday, March 16th, 2024, Vs. Utica Comets (4-2 L): Brett Berard got the Wolf Pack on the board 6:57 into the hockey game, deflecting an Alex Belzile shot by Akira Schmid on the powerplay to give the Wolf Pack a 1-0 lead.The Comets scored the game's next three goals, however, taking a lead they would never lose. At 13:19 of the first period, Graeme Clarke was left alone in front of Olof Lindbom and beat the goaltender with his glove to even the tilt at 1-1.2:06 later, the Comets took the lead for good when a Ryan Schmelzer shot hit the stick of Lindbom, clipped the goal post, and trickled over the line to make it 2-1.Schmelzer's second of the night came via a redirection at 12:59 of the second period. The Comets' captain slipped behind the Wolf Pack defense, saw a shot clip off his leg, and beat Lindbom.Adam Sýkora got the Wolf Pack back within a goal 66 seconds later, beating Schmid from the left-wing circle for his seventh goal of the season.Despite a good third-period push, the Wolf Pack could not solve Schmid to equalize the game.

Determining the "best" St. Louis Blues team is subjective and can vary depending on personal preferences and criteria. The Blues have had several successful seasons and memorable teams throughout their history. Here are a few notable Blues teams:

2018-2019 St. Louis Blues: This team made history by winning their first-ever Stanley Cup in the 2018-2019 season. Led by head coach Craig Berube and key players such as Vladimir Tarasenko, Ryan O'Reilly, and Jordan Binnington in goal, the Blues had a remarkable turnaround in the second half of the season and made a strong playoff run to capture the championship.

1968-1969 St. Louis Blues: In just their second season of existence, the Blues reached the Stanley Cup Finals. Led by head coach Scotty Bowman and players like Glenn Hall, Red Berenson, and Barclay Plager, they fell short in the Finals but showcased the early success and competitive spirit of the franchise.

1980-1981 St. Louis Blues: This team had a strong season, finishing with the best regular-season record in the NHL. Led by head coach Red Berenson and featuring players like Bernie Federko, Brian Sutter, and Mike Liut in goal, they made it to the Conference Finals but were ultimately eliminated.
