I actually love lester's name so much

it's the way apollo(n)'s main cognates seem to be Destroyer (apollymi) and Assembly/City center/Walled fence (apella)

and Lester means "fortified place", "city" or even "camp"

it preserves and remains faithful to one of his meanings

and I can see how zeus arrived to this meaning and where his gross miscalculation was, he wants to defang apollo so he erases the Destroyer, it's meant to "humble" him

but like,, that's exactly who apollo wants to be. someone who builds and preserves, the core of civilization. he destroys too but that's not his preference and zeus cannot see it because he's too tunnel visioned on violence

so like it's like a microcosm of the whole situation, zeus is so scared of apollo's potential for violence that he goes too hard on the other direction and ends up reminding him of his actual core self (bad if you want to opress him!!! self actualization is power in a god's world!!!! you're missing the forest for the trees!!!!!!)

so like, of course apollo accepts the name and reclaims it as his own and makes it a fucking epithet when he starts self actualizing, that's literally what he does every time when in forced proximity to an opposing force, he conquers its concept and takes its name

here's the thing. I adore ponyboy who every time he gets in trouble is throwing someone else under the bus SO hard solely to not go down alone (ie "Ponyboy WHAT do u have to say for yourself?" "oh I see I can't do SHIT around here but last week when STEVE-") but I do not see enough about Johnny being a horrible little shit who will HAPPILY throw guys that have pissed him off UNDER the bus

Okay, I have ventured into the podcast bro realm for a Pierre-Luc Dubois (link - Empty Netters EP 53) and returned alive to summarize. Someone’s got to do it. Here is a list of things that seemed interesting to me! I’m also working on transcribing a few longer bits.

Name lore: PL to friends and family, about five hockey bro variations of Dubie, and

Torts decided to call him Luc. Because “PL” was too complicated. No one else calls him that! Yike!

Off days in Winnipeg he hung out at an Italian grocery store and coffee shop. What a vibe.

Referenced “red boots that broke the internet” on a tangent. Apparently more fashion knowledgeable than me 🤷 I had to google that shit

DJ guy in the locker room a lot of the time, but not a huge fan of the responsibility. He cares a lot about music and likes French rap in particular.

Mentioned sewerball being dangerous for rookies and he did not participate his first year in Columbus. Context for the Sharks?

Oh they are so excited about the LA deal for him. And hindsight is 20/20 but he seems much more tempered about it. Subjectively it’s like he’s saying “they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse” and they are like “isn’t it so great when you just have that perfect clarity that something is the right choice?” He’s clearly in for serious tho - talked about renting while buying/building a house (which in LA is gonna take years for sure)

Ok this is the funniest one. He has an alter ego of sorts. If he does not want to interact with someone who’s maybe recognizing him he’ll say his name is Enzo. Enzo who works in cybersecurity.

Apparently Byfield is a great guy but a total liar

Selected short transcripts below the cut.

Disclaimer: this is my first time transcribing anything, so feedback is welcome. I started from the generated transcript. I had a difficult time telling the two hosts apart by voice, so I just went with referring to them collectively most of the time, and when I felt it was important, by either left [L] or right [R]. If you are a big fan of these guys, I am sorry. I also cut out a lot of "yeah yeah" interjections for clarity.

Nickname Discussion: 12:31

Hosts: Alright, we're officially welcoming Gretzky Cup gold medalist, World Junior silver medalist, the Paul Dumont Trophy winner, the Mike bossy Trophy winner, 2022 World Championship All-Star, and the third overall pick of the 2016 NHL draft Pierre-Luc Dubois. Welcome to the empty netters podcast.

PLD: Thanks for having me

Hosts: it's just a long time coming dude. Exciting exciting stuff. I'm very very happy about it dude. When we met - when you first got here for media day, or you know, the Kings media day and everything, I heard one of the reporters was like, "What should we call you?" and you're like, "PL is good," so I call you PL. But I'm curious, like dude, what is - I want the scope of what people call you. What do your boys at home call you, what are the guys in locker room calling you, what does your mother call you? Because we have a funny sphere of people who know you, and everyone refers to you as something different.

PLD: Yeah I have a lot of nicknames.

Host: Yeah you do.

PLD: I don't even know where to start. I got Dubie.

Hosts: Yeah which is sick. That is a sick nickname.

PLD: That was my dad's nickname when he played. Because my dad played um, in the AHL and IHL so, that was his nickname. So it kind of started because of that. Then I have Dubes because I don't know why. Honestly I don't remember that one. Duber is my Instagram. That doesn't really apply. Nobody really calls me Duber. I have PL which is like what my family and close friends call me. But then I got to Columbus, and Torts said PL was too complicated; too long. So he changed it to Luc. [Host: It's two letters!] So I also had Luc. Yeah that's what I said! I was like complicated? Long? It's two letters! He's like nah, it's - it's Luc. I was like alright. So he would call me Luc; nobody else calls me Luc. Ummm [counting on fingers]- Dooby, Dubes, Duber, Luc, PL and then uh here - like my - when I was younger - you ever watch Even Stevens?

Hosts: oh my God yeah okay

PLD: So yeah my cousins who are older than me and my sister when I was annoying they call me "Beans."

Hosts: no no dude

PLD: And I love, I love Beans. Yeah I think it's hilarious. So a few - that's like, that's come up in the past. But yeah, so I'd say those five or whatever. Pierre-Luc when I was in trouble. Yeah I never want to hear that one

Winnipeg Down time 42:37-43:28

Host[L]: What was your go-to off day in Winnipeg?

PLD: There's this place uh, actually- I love this place, Italian grocery store called Deluca's.

Hosts: okay fuck yeah, okay

PLD: Good pizza, great coffee, the people are phenomenal, great food. So I'd go there even if I didn't have to do groceries. I'd just go there and have a coffee.

Host[L]: Yeah, is it Italian family owned and run?

PLD: Yeah

Host[L]:Yeah those are the best man

PLD: Great people. So I'd like to say thank you, because I was there a lot. You know, I'd often stop by my parents, go say hi. There's this place called The Forks - another good coffee - I love coffee, so yeah, spent a decent amount there. And then at the end of the year, we found a golf simulator we spent a decent amount of time at. So yeah, I'd say those things. Then I played a decent amount of video games too

Host[L]: So what's the go to? Actually, before we even say it - I am assuming you're a FIFA guy?

PLD: Yeah

Host[L]: Are you also a formula one guy?

PLD: yeah

[Editor's note: I am not a formula one guy but I know there's enough overlap between hockey and formula one fandoms that I figured I ought to include it. They talk a bit more about the video game after this]

Red shoes thing 45:45-46:11

[On screen they have a giant ~3ft slide from a sponsor. They do an ad for the brand.] Hosts: For everyone watching I hope you can see this incredible slide sandal. We don't have to do this, but it's amazing. It's a sick slide. You're uh, you're getting a pair of these - really it's not that size. You should-

PLD: Yeah, it's like a dog bed.

Hosts: Yeah, dude, you see all these NBA guys showing up to games in crazy fits? If you showed up in two of these, you break the internet. It'd break the internet.

PLD: Yeah, it's like the red boots, that broke the internet, same thing, yeah

Locker room DJ & Sewerball 46:35-47:35

PLD: I was forced to be DJ in Columbus.

Hosts: oh wow young

PLD: Yeah, too young. I wasn't ready.

Hosts: That is aggressive. Huge responsibility. How much French hip-hop did you shove down their throats?

PLD: I got chirped too bad so I stopped. But - ah, me, I'd always sit in the dressing room because my first year, I didn't play sewerball. Because as a rookie playing sewerball is tough.

Hosts: yeah yeah, dangerous.

PLD: Yeah, it's also dangerous. So I just stay in the dressing room, tape my sticks, and so would Panarin. And I played a Russian song for him. He loved it, didn't say anything. So I played a French song to see how he'd feel about it - didn't say anything. So I was like okay we're onto something here. So I played my French rap when everybody'd be gone. And then when he left, Bjorkstrand would be that guy, so I'd play some Danish rap for him and then I'd play my French stuff. But yeah, when I got put in that position, I wasn't ready for it. It was stressful. A lot a lot of sleepless nights, shuffling through the playlists, being like, "I gotta get this one out. I didn't like the reaction from anybody."

Enzo 1:30:30

PLD: Enzo - okay funny story. That's like my name when I go somewhere and somebody recognized me and I don't want to talk.

Hosts: Oh you just go like this - I'm Enzo. I'm not Pierre.

PLD: I say, "People tell that - people say that to me all the time." But I'm Enzo.

Hosts: oh my God that's

PLD: So at like Starbucks -

Hosts: So you have like a secret personality. When someone asks for your name, you say Enzo.

PLD: Yeah like Starbucks - Enzo. Because like, also Pierre-Luc - like, nobody gets. In English-speaking places, nobody gets it. So I just say Enzo because everybody gets that. But yeah, so uh Enzo is that name.

Hosts[L]: Having a Alter Ego when you don't want to be recognized might be the greatest.

Host[R]: Like, "Oh everyone thinks, I'm everyone thinks I'm Pierre-Luc."

Host[L]: I'm so glad I asked about that

PLD: And when somebody says - hey are you Pierre-Luc?

Host: -I look just like him, I get that all the time. Like I know, I know doppelganger.

PLD: I have no idea who this guy is but like whatever.

Hosts: Have you ever come into a circumstance where you pull that move, and someone's like bullshit, dude I know it's you?

PLD: Yeah in uh, we were in Dallas, it's after a game. I went downstairs to get my food, because I ordered food at the hotel. Then um, I had to go get it at the bar, and it wasn't ready. So I was like, hey I'll have a beer here. And these four guys next to me, they're like, "We saw you play tonight." I was like, "No idea what you're talking about." Then like, "Yeah, we saw you play. Pierre-Luc Dubois, you're Pierre-Luc Dubois, yeah right." It's like, "No I'm Enzo." like, "Where do you work? it's like, "Uh, cyber security." Yeah like, "What company?" "Fieldman Pelts," and they're like, "oh oh okay." And I came back to my room, and I thought, I was like, that was perfect. Because they had no idea about cyber security. They had no idea what questions to ask.

*based on a post i saw on my dashboard some days ago, idr who posted it sorry :(*

The Flying Graysons don't stop flying in Gotham, they live to move on with their son and Bruce never meets Dick

Still, a child hero/vigilante was only a question of when, never if, so someone else, maybe Roy (mr 1941 here) becomes this universe's proof of concept

The titans still become a team, but they do so a bit later than any canon timeline, and when they do, they include the New Teen Titans crew

While away on a mission, the team decides to stay in town after the job is done when someone (maybe Kori maybe someone else) notices that Haly's circus is in currently performing there

They decide to go, since most of them have never gone to the circus before and the main act, The Flying Graysons, have only become more notorious with time

The team go, enjoy the show, and when the time comes for the Graysons, Dick is front and center and he takes everyone's breathes away

Kory is especially impressed with him

She decides to stay after the show to see if she can talk to him

They are mutually charmed and Dick decides to shoot his shot by asking Kory out on a date, she agrees

Everyone is ready to leave, but Kory stays for the date. The Titans don't have any ongoing missions at the moment and they can easily reach her should the situation change

They go out and have a great time

Then they go out again

and again

They can't go out every night (obv) but Haly's is stopped for the month and Titan's Tower isn't far (for Kory, that is) so they go out as often as possible

They move fast, semi-convinced that their feelings won't last, but they persist

When the circus moves to their next stop, Dick asks Kory if she wants to continue their relationship, to officially become boyfriend/girlfriend, to which she agrees

And so, supermodel Kory Anders starts dating circus aerialist Richard "Dick" Grayson and blow the internet up with their combined beauty

Even the jeering haters get mocked because, yeah, he may be a circus performer (derogatory for some people unfortunately) but he is undeniably gorgeous and charming

Kory Anders and Starfire are separate entities in the public eye but Kory doesn't like keeping her hero work secret from Dick now that they're officially together

When she tells him, she brings him to the tower after to meet her friends

It's like something clicks into place

The Titans family had found their missing link in Dick

A few years after they first started dating, a part-time Titan, with a name that honors Kory and Tamaran, debuts
