every active first overall pick | 2023, connor bedard

Gifted with a shot already suited to rival the NHL's best, the diminutive centre holds the IIHF World Juniors record for points by a seventeen-year-old. He was the first player in the WHL ever considered for exceptional status, and by the end of his final year in Regina had 71 goals and 72 assists in 57 games -- leading the CHL in scoring and the first 140-point WHL season in almost thirty years. Though his career is short so far, he is almost universally considered the Next Next Next One.

Chicago recap

Louis showed up wearing a Sergio Tacchini Jacket paired with Lacoste pants and Calvin Klein white tank top.

Opening: The Greatest

Louis mentioned that it was freezing and gave an extra thanks to fans for attending despite the weather

Chicago had a rainbow project / Louis’ reaction

The setlist this time had 22 songs, Saved By A Stranger made it this time.

Louis caught a “Listening to One Direction is sexy” hat and smiled reading it.

Pride flags were held during She Is Beauty

Louis oversharing saying he’s dying for a piss

Whatever this cute moment was that I think deserves to make it in the recap

Lights for Saturdays

Closing: Silver Tongues

Barricade shenanigans: big screen / up close / last words and leaving stage / nipples were freed

happy new year - who ordered gemini twin angst? 'cause chapter 25 of Hits Different is here to deliver <3

As far as Jo’s concerned, this is the third time she's watched her twin die.

When they were fourteen, she'd seen the light leave his eyes after a particularly nasty training session with Joshua, and she'd known in her gut that something was changing inside him.

At twenty-two, she'd been forced to witness him unravel entirely, nearly taking everyone else down with him.

Now, her gaze moves slowly over the desiccated veins in his neck, tracing the creeping path of death across his grayed out skin, hardly able to draw in a proper breath.

Hank Voight and the Crackhead Detective: NOW POSTED!

It is finally posted! @creativeimagination206 and I have edited it and made it even better for all of you lovely people!

I am so excited to share this work. If you're new here, let me tell you about it: It's about an interim detective in Voight's unit who will NOT stop quoting memes!

You can find the full synopsis below the cut, along with the link. I really hope you love it, and please feel free to leave us feedback either here, in my DMs, in my inbox, or on AO3!

Detective Katelyn Meyers was “highly recommended” by Trudy Platt, but when Voight meets her for the first time, he has no idea he is in for a wild ride.

Everywhere he turns, she’s there, and has something to say. Typically, these quips don’t make sense to Voight, who has no idea what a meme or vine is. But to Adam, Jay, and others, it is hilarious to watch their Sergeant be tortured to his breaking point by a young detective. She not only continuously quotes memes and vines, but she helps them solve the case. She is a great detective, who nobody can figure out, and it drives Voight to the point of (almost literal) insanity.

Will Voight ever understand what a meme is? Will he be able to intimidate Katelyn and make her back off? Or will she call his bluff and stare him down? Will he actually go insane? Read on to find out.

*taps gently on your window* you said you like the history of chicago? do you have any fun facts specifically related to the history of chicago as the original and eternal capital of pinball? any tidbits that ideally would beyond those found in a typical timeline of pinball history? (ignore this ask if you don’t know anything and/or aren’t interested in the topic ofc)

Weirdly enough, I do! Maybe not a lot, but I know that---much like alcohol---Chicago tried to ban gambling and gaming periodically throughout the 20th century. And I know that---also like alcohol---they failed, completely and utterly.

For those of you not in the know, Chicago technically "banned" pinball games from the 40s to the 70s. Technically, the city enforced such prohibitions.

Technically.

Due to selective enforcement and honestly, people just straight up ignoring the law, Chicago became a powerhouse of gaming activity anyway. Pinball games were part and parcel of that process. I'm talking about Chicago Coin, which was founded in the 1930s, but didn't achieve true success until they started churning out pinball games in the 1960s and 70s. Bally Manufacturing was into pinball games and slot machines long before it ever sold tennis rackets and activewear. Williams Electronics/WMS industries hit the jackpot in 1981 when it produced Defender. (The company has since moved to Las Vegas.) There's a whole complicated history to explore, and I highly encourage everyone to do so.

However, my absolute favorite bit of writing about the city and its symbiotic relationship with pinball is this Chicago Reader piece. It's very clearly an elegy to a dying art form---written in 2005, it's clear that the world of pinball machines is passing away. Still, it loves the arcades of old. Even today pinball games represent an enormous, significant weight on the fabric of the city; sitting in my apartment right now, I'm about a 10 minute walk away from the nearest pinball machine. (Maybe less, I haven't been to every bar in my neighborhood.)

In short, there's a reason that the Pinball Expo has been happening here since 1985---Chicago is the uncrowned queen of the flippers.

So who cares if John E. Cassidy tried to ban them, or that there was an even older 1895 prohibition against mechanical gambling devices? They're as Chicagoan as ketchup-less hotdogs, and complaining about construction on the Kennedy.
