here’s a cute and funny story for y’all <3

ship of theseus? no. jockstrap of sidney crosby.

sidney's whole thing around his superstitions and rituals is all around this standard he holds to himself, right, that if everything is the same and there are minimal external variables that even have a chance of influencing the game, then his success or fail is attributed solely to his abilities. the win or the loss comes down to how he plays - no room for excuses....

that's why he his equipment stays as much the same as possible, right - the skate shoes, the underarmour, the freaking jock....repair over and over and over again, keep it the same

but just like the ship of theseus, the paradox is "whether or not a ship that had all of its components replaced one by one would remain the same ship," -> Dana Heinze in 2007 about Sidney's stupid zombie jock telling everyone that "everytime we make an adjustment to this, we have to keep a piece of the original cup"

AT WHAT POINT IS IT NOT THE ORIGINAL CUP ANYMORE. IS THE RITUAL AND SUPERSTITION NOT IN KEEPING THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, BUT IN THE ACT OF REPAIR??? could we not argue that it is not the same pre-rimouski cup anymore that he wanted to keep? did it not stop being the same once every part has been replaced at least once??? is the superstition now simply the act of keeping it for as long as possible and replacing it eternally for as long as possible, like how deep-sea jellyfish are eternal????

let it finally rest, sidney, please god let it rest. it's not about it's weary, physical bones anymore. you can let it rest in wholeness - the spirit of it will not die. your ritual of it is not about its physical presence anymore...your superstition is in the constant, frankenstein-esque revival of its soul......

I have a spinoff story in the pipeline and it's been so funny revisiting an old character and world and was curious if anyone would be interested in me doing that more?

I Have My Own Drawer? – Jeff Skinner

Author’s Note: This is inspired by the ASG making fall in love with this dimpled angel all over again.

Word Count: 1k

You felt the bed shift and you groaned pulling the covers tighter to you.

Then you heard a thud, “Shit”

“Where are you going?” You turned on the lamp to see your boyfriend Jeff rubbing the shin he ran into the dresser.

“I’m going back to my place so I can pack for the road trip, it’s an early one,” he said while putting on his clothes.

“Why?” You started to get comfy in bed again.

“Because I don’t have any clothes here,” Jeff said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“You have all of that stuff in your drawer,” you flipped over in bed.

“My drawer?”

“Yeah, second to the bottom.”

“I… have a drawer? Here?”
