#they’re perfect for the vibes the bruins give me

[ohyourefrombostonnameallthedunks]

Seeing the Bruins change the logo back on their social pfps made me feel things I don’t want to be feeling. I’m gonna miss everything so much, this was such an incredible season to be a part of and it feels like years ago already

My fav haikyuu boys w an s/o who plays hockey

And s/o gets into a fight on the ice

First of all I do not play hockey but I wish I did so much bro

Kuroo:

• Mans is wearing your Jersey number

• He's sitting as close to the glass as possible

• And he's cheering you on as loud as he can

• He's probably with Bokuto or Kenma

• But his main focus is on you

• He's lowkey mesmerized by yours plays

• And the sheer tough and rough of the sport

• He's watched you wipe out a few times and he can tell by your body language you're getting frustrated

• But he freezes when he see's someone of the other team push you over and he winces when he see's you wipe out again

• "Oh no- (Y/N)!

• Things are starting to get chaotic

• And then he sees you get up and he see's you skate over

• And then he see's you swing

• "Fuck!"

• Bokuto/Kenma is cringing next to him

• Kuroos pale

• and oddly turned on watching you obliterate the person in front of you

• And then the masks come off and then he's worried worried because you take a first to the face and he hears your frustration from the rink

• And then your first collides with their face again

• Cue the chorus' of 'oh fuk'

• He's VERY worried

• You stand up after being pulled away

• the other person was pulled away as well

• You've got blood pouring down your cheek and he thinks he's gonna pass out

• He's pushing past people (followed by whoever he's with) as he eyes follow were you are

• "Babe? Babe you okay?"

• You flash him a bright smile. "Always. Just part of the game honey."

• God he's so in love with you

Bokuto:

• Mans is also wearing your jersey number

• he's fucking COLD

• decked out in warm clothes

• He's absolutely the loudest in the stands

• You can hear him on the ice

• He makes sure of it

• And knows a little about hockey, you watch it all the time

• But this is the first time he's been able to see you play

• n he's watching youu

• vibe and do your thing

• And then you make a point and he's !!!!!!

• but then he watches you get shoved over and hit with the stick and he's !!!!!! >:(

• Your hand reaches out and grabs the other person's skate and you yank and they fall backwards

• the teams are descending into chaos

• baby is cheering you on

• SCREAMING your fucking name as you pummel this person below you

• He's internally worried tho dont get me wrong

• but

• He's also caught in the moment

• he didnt think fights REALLY happened but here it was

• you werent lying

• He can see the blood on your Jersey and he's Definitely worried more after that

• "Nice hit out there, babe!!!!"

• "Thank you, Bo!" You wave at him before you're off the ice

• And he's just watching you with a dumb grin and lovey eyes

• He supports the fuck out of you okay

• He's definitely on your ass after the game, checking to make sure you're okay

• You've got a bruised cheek bone

• You assure him you're fine

• "But what about the blood on your jersey?"

"Pretty cool right? Just my nose though, I got all that taken care of. I'll probably have to get a New Jersey though.. blood stains."

• And then hezs kissing you bc you're just so perfect and unaffected by what happened

• "Baby you're so strong," 🥺

• "Aw bo,"

Akaashi: (the following is based of a true story) (the Bruins)

• Your team won

• :)))

• by a point in the last 4 seconds

• defense baby

• Akaashi is cheering next between bokuto

• Bc Akaashi is your boyfriend but Bo is also one of your best friends

• Neither wanted to miss it

• They're both wide smiles and proud of you for doing so well

• Internally planning dinner for after

• Its a vibe

• Theyre vibing

• And the other team is getting salty

• hence a team wide fight begins

• And Akaashi is immediately feeling uneasy as he watches the fans start to stir the pot too

• And suddenly a girl in the stands grabs your hockey stick and she hits you with it

• Akaashi is lunging foward and Bokuto is right behind him

• It takes you 0.000089 seconds to turn around and climb over the wall, immediately going for her

• Two men are trying to hold you back but they're quickly pulled off as other members of the team follow suit

• "the pretty boy with the green eyes and the owl are mine!" You yell to your teammates

• They confirm and you watch the girl run (try to anyway) up the steps of the stands and your right behind her

• You just so happen to corner her in the stand row above where Akaashi and Bo are

• You havent realized this yet

• He watches as you pull her back, she's still swatting at you, screaming curse words and phrases

• He watches without moving and pull the girls shoe off, using that just as she'd used your hockey stick

• Finally, when she's screaming apologies instead and you're done ripping her a new one

• You looked at the row next to you, grinning happily when you see who it is

• "Keiji, hey, glad you could make it,"

• You're bleeding

• The side of your head is bleeding Oh god

• he's about to answer when you press a chaste kiss to his lips

• "Hope you enjoyed." You drop the shoe "hello to you too, bo."

• then you're heading back down the stands, bumping into your teammates

• It was then Akaashi realized, you were absolutely 100% the one for him

• You're suspended for 8 games oop

Oikawa:

• Oikawa had seen you come home with plenty of bruises and scrapes

• he understood, he played volleyball and he knew how hard sports could be on your body

• But he never thought it'd be from another person

• But he shows up to your game

• iwachan dragging behind him

• Because no way was he going alone too many people

• And they're just chilling in the stands, having fun like they did when they were kids

• cheering and what not

• And Oikawa looks away for a SECOND

• someone calls his name and he glances black, figuring it to just be some fangirl

• But then everyone's yelling and the announcers are talking

• and iwa shoves him and Oikawa looks back

• to see you 🥰

• Getting the shit beat out of

• And his heart stops and his breath hitches.

• "Wo-Woah, Hold on-"

• He watches as your head hits the ice and he's yelling

• He's absolutely gripping Hajimes sleeve in pure panic

• It doesn't last long though because soon you're up and your shoulder rams into the other person's stomach knocking them back on their ass

• "Holy fuck dude," Hajimez eyes are wide

• "Jesus-"

• He watches as you fall onto the person beneath you

• It doesn't look like you're hitting them, more yelling than anything

• But you're definitely fighting off the people trying to pull you off

• His stomach is doing flips

• When he see's you after the game, you're in his arms in a HEARTBEAT

• he's squeezing you and then inspecting your bruised and bloodied face

• Dinner consists of a hospital visit, stitches (which you really didnt like) and almost falling asleep against Oikawas chest as Iwa drove home

• Oikawas sure to tell you how proud he is though

• and that he's happy yall won the game :)

Iwazumi:

• He knew practices were tough

• He knew the sport itself was a tough sport

• But he didnt know about the fights that often happen during hockey games

• Iwa probably went alone

• He's sitting closer to the ice

• And he's watching with a smile as you do your thing

• And the game progresses and he's got a drink and he's munching on popcorn

• completely mesmerized by the game

• He thinks the game is incredible all on it's own

• It's tough

• you're against elements

• Skating is hard

• He didn't thi k it was hard until you took him to a rink and the two of you practices and he fell on his ass so many times

• his butt was bruised for weeks

• And you've got pucks that HURT when they hit you

• all in all you have to be tough

• but his eyes always drift back to you

• just in time too

• He watches the person on the other team, swing their hockey stick and hit you in the back of the legs

• He's immediately standing

• His drink forgotten as it fell to the floor

• "H-Hey!"

• His heart falls and he sees you stand up

• But from how it looked, the way you fell /must've/ hurt.

• Your team seems to take no mercy on the other player before you can get up

• It did seem that you laid a good punch in

• A few good punches based on how they fell back

• But you were lost in the swarm of players

• And he can see (vaguely hear) that despite your coaches pleading, you're still going to play the rest of the game.

• He has the urge to flick you

• you're just like shittykawa.

• Never giving yourself a break

• when the game finally ends (your team wins)

• you're off the ice first, looking up to flash iwa a smile, one he clearly knew was pained.

• He's outside the Locker room waiting for you

• He takes your hand and the two of you are off to get home

• Of course, he scolds you in the car.

• But then he hesitantly admits that it was cool to zeesee but you still should've stopped playing

• He makes you dinner

• And you watch a movie while he has your legs in his lap so you can ice your knees

• he's 100% taking you to get them checked out tomorrow morning

so i know a lot of people have opinions on backes and whatnot but would you be willing to do a post on him similar to the carlo and grzelcyk ones?

i will preface this by saying that i have absolutely no knowledge on the david backes ~discourse~ so sorry if this offends but, hell yeah!! i respect backes because he took one look at his surname and saw that it could clearly be pronounced as one syllable, but instead decided that he wanted it to be two. and all power to him

Note: a few people have said they like these posts, so i’m happy to take requests if there’s a particular player you’d like to see! see this page (or hopefully this link should work if you’re on mobile. should.) for details, and a list of ones i’ve done so far :)

(gif via @goaliefight) despite his old man status, he’s very agile - here he is executing a perfect leap over an obstacle in the shape of a minnesota wild player. very impressive on all fronts, he could probably qualify for several olypmic gymnastics teams if he keeps this up

oof. this one hits where it hurts. i have to admit that my actual thirst levels for dadkes are pretty much zero, so my eye is rather drawn to the left of this photo, but these are two excellently dressed, confident-looking men who will take no shit, and i love that

(gif via @cparayko) happy dadkes!! i love that for him. and if you noticed the bottom of this image as i did, there is unfortunately no way to get through this post without occasional mention of that team, as much as i tried :(

i love the backes family zoo!!!! every photo of him with his pups or a kitten adds 1.7 years onto my life, they’re so cute. and his tiny little daughter oh my goodness!!! almost too adorable

i know i said ‘backes family zoo’ but this might be taking it one step too far, don’t you think….?

(gif via @nosefacekillah) he checked him into next fucking week!!!!! simply incredible. 

“fuck bl*es rights” - david backes, 2019

(gif via @bradmarchrad) backes, brooding. i don’t know what about though, suggestions on a postcard?

the bit of him doing the announcement on the plane to china on the behind the b is iconic, massive dad vibes from that. but….backes why. there is no escaping this fucking photo however hard we try and maybe we all just need to embrace that fact :/

this is the very definition of visual dissonance. the colours are giving me a very intense headache, but shoutout to the fact that backes’ very loud purple suitcase matches his equally loud blazer i guess? someone give this man some fashion pointers, i am begging

(gif via @brandoncarlo) david backes decides who in hockey deserves rights, and drew d*ughty sure doesn’t qualify for that list, and here he is proving it by trying to knock what’s left of his teeth out. thanks dad!

stone cold savagery

more puppy content!!! i am insatiable when it comes to pictures of hockey players w dogs

this is so sweet i’m going to cry. the bruins really blessed us with the christmas shopping content and i cannot thank them enough

a goalie pup!!! also how fucking young is he here jesus christ. baby backes

going for the rugged look with some plummage. funny things i’ve seen this captioned include “when your dad makes you come downstairs and eat dinner with the family” 

:^)

the bruins really are just a team full of men with nice noses who suit glasses huh?

and who could forget this iconic text exchange with charlie mcavoy, along with the accompanying video?

thank you anon!!

Taylor Swift’s “reputation” is more than just an album – it’s a story, and not the one listeners might expect. In what may be her most deliberate album yet, Swift interweaves two stories: her fall from grace in the public eye and a complex, difficult love story. Each individual track serves as a piece of the puzzle, painting a portrait of the armor Swift has built to protect her relationship from the public scrutiny of her reputation. As a result, “reputation” is characterized by two distinct musical styles – a darker, synthetic sound exemplified by prereleased singles such as “Look What You Made Me Do” and “…Ready for It?” and a more acoustic style that evokes the sounds of earlier albums but with more mature undertones. Although Swift’s newer music is grating at times, the stylistic transition through the course of the album underscores its narrative journey. “reputation” is Swift’s first album in three years, and a lot has happened since her last major release, “1989.” Most notable was her makeup and subsequent fallout with Kanye West, a feud full of wild and inconsistent stories that ended with West’s wife Kim Kardashian branding Swift a “snake,” a title that Swift has taken in stride. Swift has also been through three major relationships: her seemingly picture-perfect relationship with DJ Calvin Harris – which spiraled into chaos – her short-lived, highly public fling with actor Tom Hiddleston and her current, low-profile romance with actor Joe Alwyn. Her relationships are central to the story of “reputation” and serve as the context and fuel behind the songs. The first half of the album is a marked departure from the sweeter, pop ballads of previous albums. Some of the songs, such as “Delicate” and “So It Goes…,” feature electropop love ballads, but they’re overly electronic and feel overproduced. The electronic vibes are out of place and are jarring, relative to Swift’s older work, although they do work well in other songs, such as “I Did Something Bad” and “Look What You Made Me Do.” In the latter two songs, the electronic vibes are weaponized and match the defiant tone Swift takes; they feature a darker, EDM sound and embrace Swift’s troubled reputation. Lyrics from “I Did Something Bad” such as, “They’re burning all the witches, even if you aren’t one/ So light me up,” are direct references to the villain the media constantly casts Swift as, and show Swift taking on the public’s preconceived notions as a mantle rather than a curse. The new electronic sound begins to fade through the second half of the album and gives way to the simpler, acoustic style that made Swift famous. It’s almost like peeling back the layers of armor to reveal the human beneath the “snake” that society sees. “Getaway Car” accomplishes this humanization most effectively, detailing the fast-paced nature of a relationship that Swift knows will ultimately fail. The metaphor works well and paints a tragic picture of romance. “reputation” also shatters the good-girl image Swift worked so hard to cultivate throughout her career. Swift owns her sexuality with songs like “Dress,” a sultry anthem about a dress she only bought for her lover to take off of her. The song is refreshing and honest, and that’s part of killing the “old Taylor” – the new Taylor isn’t afraid to be frank and shatter her illusion of so-called purity. Swift’s newfound frankness is continued in “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,” easily the most fun track on the album, directed at West and Kardashian. Swift is at her best when she sardonically references specific details of the feud and finishes the song with a toast to her true friends. She begins to toast to forgiveness, but stops, laughing that she “can’t even say it with a straight face.” The nonchalant attitude is endearing and empowering, and it’s hard not to smile along with her. The album ends with “New Year’s Day,” which stands out because of its bare-bones structure. While the album’s first track “…Ready for It?” is hard, full of electronic synth and percussion, “New Year’s Day” is as simple as it gets – just Swift’s voice and a piano. It’s a true love song, with Swift promising that she’ll be there for the midnight New Year’s Eve celebrations and the morning-after cleanups too. The song is the final piece of the puzzle, the aspect of Swift’s persona that she fights so hard to preserve and protect, and the simplicity of the music and message make the song unforgettable. “reputation” draws its power from Swift’s narrative, the songs serving as a pieces of lyrical autobiography of falling from grace and falling in love. While her electropop is interesting, it’s a narrative device rather than a stylistic choice, and it’s clear that Swift hasn’t lost touch with her musical roots. The old Taylor hasn’t gone anywhere – she’s just older and wiser.
