Trevor Zegras being obsessed with frogs and having a whole frog pond is one thing but that lore drop coming from mfing Brendan Brisson is another and that ON TOP of Brendan casually being like oh yeah i've been living with him for two weeks. I'm not connecting a single dot I'm just saying they took that socal boy out of California and now he's got every weird girl crawling all over him. Brendan man your socal swag too novel for these guys, you gotta get back to California

#goose i don’t even have words. thank you for your service. i have been so disjointed from hockey and also like. life #and i need to go lie down in the best way possible. i think learning this broke me. TREVOR GET OUT OF MY FUCKING FROGGGSSSS on god you guys #i can’t. i can’t. i don’t. don’t DANGLE the idea of a beautiful fic (REALITY. IT’S REALITY) where trevor zegras contemplates life via frogs #because i have TOO MUCH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT FROGS AND FROG PONDS AND THEN YOU DANGLE TREVOR ZEGRAS LIBRARY KID HERPETOLOGIST IN FRONT OF ME AND #i hope you know i just had to physically with my real body take a big deep breath. i am thinking and typing so hard my body was like ah yes #this is what we do when we are yelling. ANYWAY TREVOR DISCOVERING FROGS NATIVE TO THE GREAT LAKES TREVOR DOING WETLAND RESEARCH TREVOR #DOING FROG COUNTS PLEASE DON’T DO THIS TO MEEEE and brendan brisson was there like damn baby girl WAIT I’VE CONNECTED THE DOTS AND THE DOTS #ARE HOW LONG HAS BORDE BEEN ON HIS SHOWING OFF ANTHONY DUCLAIR AND BOKO TOURRRR ohhhh brendan at trevor’s house is he wallowing… was this #pre-arranged… every time i have to think about trevor’s weird relationships with the michigan boys i lose my mind a little bit because #it is like. it makes sense like he’s jack’s but again i have a tag called we don’t talk about the usntdp for a reason and the reason is #i think It’s beyond mortal comprehension and also i start spiralling every time i try to connect all the dots. but it’s fiiine It’s so fine #ALSO. ALSK ALSO JUST LEAVING THIS IN THE TAGS I THINK NOT ->#anyway bendan bisson weds travis zegras in quirky-rich outdoor wedding is gonna carry me through it #like is it a cliche to talk about amphibian life cycles in response to growth and tenderness. yeah. yeah. but perhaps trevor fawn response #zegras would identify with the idea of breathing through his skin. guys i think i’m burning my carrots #update not burned really tbh could be crispier & cooked for longer but i need to devote brain space to this. is now a good time to mention #i have not even looked at the source yet because i got possessed by this instantly. trevor i want you to learn frog calls okay #like every time i have to remember that he did not!! most likely!! grow up in the city i think!! like even if it was New York he did get s #some michigan and i think likely upstate new york so he could have forests and bugs. he could be a kid collecting snakes & salamanders.#ALSO I learned like. a week ago? not even a week? whenever joe got traded to montreal i was like NOW HOLD THE FUCK ON & apparently so many #guys have been traded to places i did not know they were going (i did see borde trade. i forget where rip. sorry california girl) BUT the #important piece here is i DID see the parallel borde trade to if i recall correctly a team that was within a range similar to vegas sj. so.#evidence for a demon deal perhaps. just a thought. but ALSO i realize that the point of this post was briss & trevor being freaks about and #with each other to which i do have to say like yeah? tracks? okay I’ll incorporate that into my belief system? briss is a beautiful bicycle #to me by which i mean y’all put him in situations & i have never once disagreed because yeah that makes sense. there’s evidence to line up #trevor zegras #brendan brisson #NO IT’S A TIKTOKKKKK oh trevor zegras i don’t know if i love you to the point of getting my laptop out to shenanigans watch this. also.#the eternal hand of time ticks forward whatever whatever but the fact that i knew that was rutgirl mcqueenie in the opening still.#laying facedown goofy pool meme style. i remember when you were simply a side character to me rutger and in the end the umich boys come for

#this is the album cover of joel and morgan’s first joint project and/or joel’s morgan please come back baby album. either way.#YUNG BEEZER IN THE CUT #popstar jack #look i know that i said both options so i have to pick but i also need you to understand that i am obsessed with both options #this has not left my brain for days and i have just been vacillating between both beautiful universes unable to pick one. like on ONE HAND #you know that tweet that's like idk man i'm used to that r&b crying screaming wailing for the pussy i'm not afraid of being pathetic in lov #like that to me is the joel breakup and make up come back baby album. like the album is titled “frosty” and people not in the know assume #it's like a frosty the snowman reference or something but if you listen to the title track frosty (i invent as i write this so i just had a #moment like well. morgan does joel's mixes. like what if the title track frosty is just an instrumental. ohhh that's so delicious to me BUT #the original thought was that “frosty” is joel's begging for the yearning baby come back song that is of course about morgan frost. which #is an iykyk situation for all the REAL pollinators out there (listen the beehive is already taken. if somebody else has a better bee themed #fan name i will gladly take it but yung beezer i think would also love the sex joke birds & the bees of pollinators and would play into it)#and the whole album is about how his baby's heart is so frosty let me melt you down baby let me in something something red noses from the #chill of missing your love sniffling sneezing freezing without your love. look there is a reason my career is not as a lyricist but the #thought is what counts. and that is also what the album (EP. like we all know this is an EP also even if i say album cover) reviews say whe #they come out and the critics are like frosty is a vulnerable album for yung beezer comparing love to the impermance of melting snow #& the emotional chill of growing apart from a lover. the balladic tracks like wawa parking lot serenade are a new direction for yung beezer #but fans of his unique original style will still be pleased he stays a gangster through it all with tracks like “ratty's basement couch”#“can't keep a dawg down” and other soon-to-be club classics. as yung beezer himself said “this EP was inspired by all consuming love of r&b #leading men... man they weren't afraid to say what they were feeling. i'll say it now too. baby please come back to me". the breakout song #of course is the title track frosty / a four and a half minute encapsulation of the themes of the rest of album followed by the plaintative #and brief closer “baby come back”. <- as you can see. obsessed. BUT THEN ALSO i love the idea of joel's first self-titled #or like. his branded eps from when he was only on sound cloud and then when he gets together with morgan doing frosty as the album. and #talking about his new collaborator and i do frequently love the idea of making morgan successful in his own right as a canadian artist and #them pulling a bbgravy moment SO in a brief beautiful second i just thought of his as a double EP where one release is this photo/album #cover and it's on the right and it's “frosty” and then there's a release where it's the same tones and woods almost like if you panned to #the left and it's a picture of bees like on someone's hand OR A BEE HIVE A HIVE IN A TREE WITH BEES COMING OUT and it's the matching beezer #EP and they come out separate/as a part one part two type thing and you can get a special double EP package to have them together. anyway #the part i love about this is that i would get to tell the creative vision of their partnership starting and also that joel is immediately #so down bad he names the ep after frosty. does the entire branding to be about him. world's largest wife guy hypeman obsessed w/his weed gf

excuse me, MIKE RICHARDS WITH GLASSES?? ON A RANDOM THUSDAY NIGHT OF JULY???

#i love seeing this post in real time on my dash and then seeing the tag for me. hashtag beloved blessed whatever the kids are saying. THAT #🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹#cate our queen… alexandra MY queen… people who show me the most beautiful images of mike richards i would never see… 👌🧑‍🍳💋✨#mike richards #philadephia flyers #<- listen. it deserves the tag. we’re having rpf summer because we always are but the flyers are ON IT (also. to whoever said fic idea #where danny’s in a time loop until he corrects it or attempts to with each generational pairing i am kissing you so hard on the mouth with #consent i have not stopped thinking about it. like the split of jeff and mike opened up a WORMHOLE style (hellmouth?) where love goes to be #split apart and danny didn’t know the first time (taking the deal where he could get it him and claude) and then splitting nopat/tk #trevor/jamie trying with beezer and frosty reuniting jdtz like ohhhh the opportunities are SO THERE NOT TO MENTION FUCKING UP HIM & CLAUDE #AGAIN!!! PUT THIS MAN IN A FUCKED UP TIME LOOPPP i’m almost feeling maybe vita nostra style? like i don’t know how but i need danny to be #stuck in the same day but we’re moving. and everything is as it should be (the underlying chasm of richiecarts haunting the narrative)#and until danny gets them together on the ice at an alumni game he and claude CAN’T be together even if he tries like. thinking about Danny #realizing what’s going on after the second time when he comes back and tknopat and literally sending morgan & joel away together to protect #them oh i could chew through solid TUNGSTENNNN the narrative is so there. i love you whoever invented it. anyway as you can tell EYE #can look at mike richards in glasses straight on and surely have not been derailed because i simply cannot face it. dog and curls and all #is it bad i just went ‘haha jeff wants to be that dog so bad’ like the answer is yes BUT animal transformation jeff stray dog mike picks up #lets us explore themes of abandonment and loyalty… and also this photo of mike so soft and tender with his dog… like i know we talk all the #time about jeff being so sad but does anyone know of any good fics from mike’s pov of the whole thing is the niche explored.

not 100% sure this is the post you mentioned not being able to find but it came across my dash and sounded similar! https[:]//www.tumblr.com/hyggles/739235236397875200/ohhh-philly-is-where-gay-love-goes-to-die-ohhh

^^ how i feel every time y’all answer me yapping in the tags… yes i love hyggles!!! honestly idek if the post i talked about was even here… it could’ve been one of morgan @/sweetestmint’s tweets from 2020-22… it might not even be real… but the SENTIMENT HERE. simply perfect. get a little dramatic with it!!! philly as the narrative crucible is 👌🧑‍🍳💋✨

#in case it was not clear the feeling is: warm cozy and beloved. 🥰🥰🥰🥰#liv in the replies #also hyggles is such an all-time poster to me. like forget the apollo prophecy jdtz post rn that’s how we got #that’s the puppet master who cursed my dick!!! about travis konecny. which is so true. soooo true and i say it all the time #‘all time poster’ i say like i haven’t read all of her fic also i mean those two things are not a complete circle but still. yes to both #me refraining SOOO hard from getting into a critique of narrative storytelling and whether or not a story needs conflict in order to exist #interesting but not the point here. the point is what hyggles said which is like hello we need something to drive the narrative!!#y’all am i going to have to put some sappy love songs on my damn not a tz playlist… i already have all the sad california songs…#trevor did get assigned like. suki waterhouse to me (+/- wallice & nikki with some quinnie. if you know the vibe. sad-ish electropop women)#so. trevor is now having his suki waterhouse in love with robert patterson moment here i think. hold on let me listen to the new love songs #tbh that is how i wish i sounded posting like 😭#there is no birth without destruction the ouroboros bites its own tail &that’ll be the philadelphia flyers with a trade on june 23rd again—

philadelphia where love goes to…..be reborn?? crazy stuff happening here!!

i-

yeah you know what, that narrative makes sense, continue 🤝 philly

#danny b said by GOD i’m breaking all the curses.#and the hits keep coming and they don’t stop coming and they don’t stop coming and they don’t stop—#very nearly just sent this with two pictures of flat fuck tk and flat fuck pat and said #imagine that like the slamming noise at the start of hollaback girl okay. this is how your message reaches me.#the woman was too stunned to speak. a second reunion has hit the towers mr. president. yeah THIS one will break the time loop.#LIKE WHEN YOUR EDITOR GIVES IT BACK TO YOU AND SAYS THAT’S A LITTLE HEAVY HANDED DON’T YOU THINK BUT IT’S NOT IT’S REAL LIFEEE #anybody else got a meme i can throw at the situation. i am genuinely speechless i don’t know what to say #liv in the replies #i also love that you came to tell me i love y’all. were you here for the danny b gm discovery. i have the best anons in the world 🥰😭#please check back in about three to five business days. i have had that Trevor rich tennis boy post percolating for like weeks now and !???#there’s too many threads!!! the narrative is all tangled!!! i don’t even know where to pull!!!! am i finally gonna have to read all #the post jdtz trade fic i was like no too tender about!!! probably after all the tender nopat trade fic!!! and then read the makeit_takeit #tknopat realizations BECAUSE of the jdtz trade fic!! AND hyggles’ jeff/mike jdtz fic!!!! rpf summer indeed. what are we doing.#also someone somewhere has done SO much better on all the wordplay with the philly city of brotherly love thing & i wish i could find it 😭#it’s very witty and has to do with all the ships and the fact that philly has generational ships. widely acknowledged.#if we don’t get so much fic out of this… the jeff curse narrative. danny b is in timeloop hell but it’s moving for everyone else and he has #to fix their narratives and put them all back together again and in love. every possible variation of came back wrong and starcrossed jdtz #how do i know where to begin!! the curse of the x8s!! wailing throwing up etc etc. putting my face in a pillow & screaming till i pass out.#do you think everybody is looking at philly and danny b and saying @god i see what you’ve done for others. LIKE WE HAVEN’T EVEN GOTTEN TO #THE CATACLYSMIC DUCKS MELTDOWN I WAS *GONNA* HAVE ABOUT CHRIS KREIDER YET because the rangers are imploding but i was like well. i guess #jacob trouba is there. and in the process of writing that tag i went haha z and kreids are friends bc of shoulder check but Z’S NOT THERE!!#if i think about ej i’d come play as part of the ice crew for too long i’ll cry just let him raise horses in montana with jokic it’s fine #like somewhere here there is an absolutely (incomprehensible arm waving and shrieking) narrative with like. reincarnation or perhaps time #loops or some kind of sentient city of philly trying over and over again with different people like an omniscient second narrator until #they get it right and maybe at the end you find out that the omniscient deity WAS GRITTY (that was not what i was going to say at all)#(jamie drysdale is afraid of gritty though) i was going to say like. you could do the danny getting everyone together in a row with the #final key being getting claude back OR a jeff/mike start OR where I was originally trying to go is that your omniscient second that is the #‘voice of the city’ slash and or the voice of the reader as the observer eventually switches to limited third bc the narrator is revealed #to actually be in the story (which is where i was like one of the love stories? original thought was claude. involve gritty somehow?)#love is stored in the greased up lamp posts or whatever they say. go birds

just met a three month old pomeranian named horchata. her paw was the size of my fingertip. she looked like half a dandelion fluff

#i mean. are miro heiskanen’s beautiful pomeranians NOTHING to you??? they were my immediate thought.#this reaction is because i went “miro heiskanen” unblinking and THEN saw the addition and went wait who-#and while pat brisson is not WRONG like he DOES have a pomeranian #MIRO DID NOT DO AN ENTIRE FEATURE ON HIS BEAUTIFUL TINY SPECK OF SUGAR ON THUMBELINA’S FINGERNAIL DOGS #TO BE DISRESPECTED LIKE THIS!!!! anyway. this is just because i am so invested in my miro/luka parallel pomeranian ownership #also i have just realized that perhaps people were blorbo tagging this not with an encyclopedic knowledge of who in hockey owns pomeranians #but perhaps who is spiritually a pomeranian. to which i say with my whole chest unflinchingly #kevin fiala #and cite to you my sources (source: me for literal years and another pomeranian post about needing to tell them they were beautiful)#also his dog is his princess. and now he has a child. and also jessicaljung is the light of my life. he’s still a pomeranian #anyway hi returning from the dead (perhaps one should consider not working 14 days straight) (jk. 19. i forgot this week still counted)#very. do as I say not as I do in my life in many circumstances but it’s fine. because i also get beautiful experiences like this #it was between this post and brad marchand (much like ej) for finally breaking my unwilling apathy #so brad’s been wearing me down but also i needed to speak on the subject of miro and his tiny pom pom ball dogs. smaller than a teacup.#um. upon entering the tags and everyone’s confusion about pat brisson i do feel that perhaps i’m being like that one meme that’s like #well ofc the average x wildly overestimates knowledge of the general public in their field. but everyone knows [things they v much don't]

“big deal” for the fic title game 🙏

fic title game!! two vastly different directions under the cut

strangely, i am getting massive college hockey vibes from this. i think it is partially because of the one sandra cisneros eleven quote and the story about how for small children this IS the biggest hurt & grief of their life they don’t know anything bigger and f1vegas’ post about worlds that will live in my brain forever that was like ‘because you are young dumb full of come 18 and this is the most important moment of your life’. i too am guilty of romanticizing the idea of a perfect summer and college experience! by god if i would not take that sublimate it and give it to the next ncaa player!

i think the obvious choice here is to have it be story of a season that’s somebody’s last before the draft/they go to the nhl/graduate and they HAVE to win (ncaa tournament/beanpot/massive rivalry game). the fun part is the character study on why that’s such a big deal—self-driven to prove they’re ready? it’s their last chance (with these guys or ever)? i would love a misunderstanding of these motivations to throw a wrench in: somebody thinks that the winning is more important while somebody thinks that it’s the spending time with each other and the last hurrah that’s important. you know the drill!!

there is of course also the bitchy attitude pwp tone of like. matt[mc]drai “hate your guts”, i love the idea of a really stats forward skilled player getting told “big deal” like. get over it it’s not the end of the world. there’s more things in life that are more important than your corsi plus/minus, like your fuck differential. snarky sarcastic oh you’re suuuch a big deal aren’t you, they say, stripping the other guy down to the most vulnerable (or smug, while being indulged) wanting nature. leon being obsessed with connor and calling him a big deal in a slightly negging way, although there is room for it to be very genuine. edm/panthers rivalry match where leon’s trying to argue and matthew waves him off with a big deal but absolutely brings some competitive point up after he sucks leon’s brains out through his dick.

like the ideal universe i think is SOMEONE winning* a trophy (stupid or not) and there’s some real psychosexual “i’m the real trophy going on here” or like. being hot and bothered BY the actual winning of the trophy where they’re feeding into the ego like sure, what a big deal this is… doing unsanitary things (licking the bowl) to the poor replica trophies guys are allowed to have.

*there is of course a really fun version where someone LOSES a trophy and is upset and the other person is like “big fuckin deal bro whatEVERRR” and makes them feel better about it. bonus points if said person is the one who they lost to. all my mutuals are talking about calder cup contention currently so it is on the brain

#liv in the replies #🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰#i love having other people come up with titles for me bc i have a MASSIVE (it’s smaller than the bertuzzi doc & the rotatating doc lol)#but it’s all just quotes that i may never use because i’m picky. it’s like downloading ten million slide themes and then still looking #to find a slide theme every time you start a new presentation. the doc is all like. song titles and poems and very rarely phrases so this #is fun. one of these days i am gonna make a petey edit or title though i almost don’t want to say it because i feel like we are sleeping #on how hockey coded!!! all of petey’s lyrics are!!! oh the scenarios i can shove them into!!! but also again i always look things up anyway #also just to give a pairing to the plot if pressed re: person who should not actually care as much but does for the sake of someone else #envisioning (rip to this man he is just blorbo from my side plots) a jacob truscott trying to make moyle’s senior year perfect and winning #and beautiful while moyle could not give less of a fuck. why ISN’T this a big deal and ohhh because i have said nolan moyle notorious #heartbreaker: truss getting his poor heart stomped. he thought they were more than they were. and then moyle picked up seamo in the summer.#somewhere there are instagram receipts that could make this narrative unhinged. but i don’t have them. so really this could be truss saying #over & over it’s no big deal denying it like everyone bringing it to him and he just won’t admit it to himself until he finallyyy blows up #ok now here you may also have things that briefly flashed into my brain but never touched down to become thought tornadoes:#some kind of mo and lucas 5+1 thing purely for the sake of ‘five times it was(n’t) a big deal and one time it was(n’t)’ type of thing #also completely unrelatedly i think because big deal is just making me think about big kahuna. surfer/mermaid au. like wayyyyy dude.#anyway hiiiii i love you this was fun i love getting asks and spitballing. with no consequence or solid decision about what i’d write. ever

#trying this!!! not technically a yap post!!! but also i think i get a summer camp patch for this so i want a fun little sticker :)#is my mental health correlated to the number of concerts i go to yes probably but i am not really sure in what direction …?#anyway i hope in june i go to 10000 more. realistic i think.#currently vibing in that like. i have so much free time but nothing to do but also doing too many things to do what i want to do #vs also not doing anything and not having people to do things with but wanting to idk. hard to explain. it looks like i did a lot #but also i cannot show you any actual pictures from work because: identifiable. & also in my contract that i can’t lol. tl;dr a lot but not #i love feeling weird about time!!! i love future uncertainty!!!#man you do not want to know how many books i have read though. that’s also probably a mental health indicator. indicating what idk.#also a sign that i need to find the void of my marked for later!!! & read!!! i’m so happy i got possessed & finally read into the wild blue #also i have done so much driving which is entirely my fault in two directions (fun) (i am still two jobs mcgee + DID give weekend avail)#liv in the replies

i only want to play with you

ask game!!! there are three (3) directions i think i could take this. to me it is all about where you put the stress in that line:

1. soulmates about it

[insert soulbonded pair here]… with all of the heated rivalry news sidovi and sidgeno HAVE been on the brain. this title feels very in the vein of “only in pittsburgh, only with sid” to me. if i used it, it would probably be a small oneshot, we go together birds of a feather kind of thing. don’t need to call it anything if not forever yada yada slice of life fluff. also, somehow, there is a minnesota wild fic in there and i don’t know what it is but probably the princess line being bazonkers about each other.

2. fight or flight reaction kicking IN

^^ok to explain: i only want to play with you feels like a title for a monsterfucking fic. sorry that we went 0 to 100 with that but it is kinda giving one of them is some sort of malicious eldritch creature (psychological play) or a carnivorous animal hybrid/shifter (physical play) and they like to play with their food before they eat it*. i ONLY want to play with you is still also some kind of creepy monster fic but more like stalker kind of vibes of “i only wanted to see you” where the “only” holds the implication that they’ve already done something worse and are trying to explain the intentions that lead them there. would love to see this as perhaps an unreliable narrator who thinks that this story is more of idea 1 (or 3—you’ll see in a second—which is really fun if the outside circumstances preventing them from being together are not quite as random or outside as thought (n)or are the close chances really as close as they would be without intervention). and our narrator justifies some really weird things they did in order to get to play with their teammate where you slowly get to realize uhhhh bestie this is perhaps not soulmates…

3. star crossed lovers!!

something something two countrymen alike in our fair dignity, OR something something childhood best friends, OR something something ships passing in the night. so like mikko rantanen getting to dallas to finally play with the finnish mafia you feel? but the terrible carolina contract negotiations part before he got there. it’s the convincing and the wanting but not the having juuust yet. alternatively, star-crossed could be somewhat of a “what if you kept playing somebody you hated/loved (and didn’t know it?)”. i think it would be fun to have two guys who were on rival teams that a) had never played together and/or b) knew each other but kept missing opportunities to play together in summer league or international tournaments and/or c) were traded. rip sorry but this could very much be a post-trade title for somebody getting ripped away from their d-partner/first team/beloved home. infinite possibilities and fractals here i could do with this. the tense admission of i only want to play with you (instead of against you, instead of just missing you) is the crux because there’s so much not said in that.

#hehe. thank you I love yapping 🥰🥰#liv in the replies #also i KNOW this was literally two seconds after i posted the game but this message was so ominous to receive and i went 😱💀 before going #wait that’s a title. which is also partially where option number two comes from #also re: stress the first version the stress is on YOU. like you’re the reason i want to play #*yes FINE i will add omegaverse here but in the style of hunt and chase courting. that one primal kink thing #um. calling back to something so unhinged do we remember the fruit market post. and how I was like well. willmacklimunchin’ hannibal-style.#yeah I kept rotating and kinda talked myself into this second one slotting into that ESPECIALLY. with all of the vague mentions of mack #and rick pulling strings and mack making staff put will up on his line… i am not reliable source go see blicksemflitzen née donderwolken #but i remember the vagaries of it. and also the DRAMA i think meghan moondoggiestyle documented about the ‘who got who to join bc’#with leno will and gabe. and how will likes to appear like he masterminded it and convinced everybody else to come. sure will. sure you did #anyway put the weird stalker unreliable narrator into that!!!! a separate peace he wants to peel him and wear him like a skin suit vibes!!#also re: version three i really would love to do some batshit statistics about that. like who is every guy’s Mortal Enemy on a team #in terms of stats and who is their Beloved Frenemy (guy they can score against and have great stats against). like you know how some guys #just go sicko mode when they play a team for literally no reason. That. i want to see your most whackadoodle stats of like #well jgp goes HAM when we play montreal and scores eight points. no idea why. but like he’d be in the ranks of connor mcdavid if you #predicted his stats based off of only playing montreal. THAT kind of thing. also like in the sense of who do guys get thwarted by the most #and happen to admire it. like somebody you beats you up the WORST but you’re like goddamnit i see what we could be. i want to stop playing #against you you piss me the fuck offf i want to play with you. which can also be in the vein of a oh. oh sorry guys. brad marchand.#everybody like i haaaaate playing against marchy and i thought I’d hate him but uh. love having him on my team. that is also a vibe here.#& this thought did coalesce right as i was typing c up there. what do you do with a pest who was formerly yours… do you still eradicate him #okay also there is a really good fic where stech like. accidentally gets bonded to edler because he gets his old gloves from a canucks used #gear sale and edler doesn’t mean to but he’s stealing stech’s youth/life force/vitality and that’s why stech looks like a sickly victorian #child dying of consumption every time he plays on a team that edler wasn’t on and it ALSO combines stech’s hero worship of edler because he #doesn’t KNOW that edler’s stealing his life force or he’s like a splinter off of edler or something basically edler has massive guilt #complex about it and that is another thing for the second stalker version where It’s like. stech doesn’t know WHY he wants to follow edler #around and he always wants to play where he goes but it’s because edler accidentally stole his soul or whatever the mechanic is. so like #stech thinks he’s normal and edler is like oh my god you poor freakish obligate creature somewhere on the commensalism/parasitism spectrum.#THAT is stech saying i only want to play with you and edler’s guilt and moral conflict about it. like kid you don’t know what you want…#you want what i want but you don’t know that… you think you want but it’s only because i do… oooo delicious fucked up power dynamics.
