Some of you have heard this story before, but I’m going to tell a variation of it again, for those who haven’t and those who may have forgotten.

When I got into hockey, it was the off-season and I had been lured in largely by friends sharing links to YouTube videos of Sid skating or scoring an incredible goal, links to articles about Geno and how desperately he wanted to play hockey as a Pen that he gave up everything and fled Russia, not knowing what it would mean for every aspect of his life outside of hockey. They were super-talented and loved each other and hockey and made this rather violent game something beautiful.

Cue that preseason, when they lost 5 of 8 exhibitions and my friends assured me that the preseason didn’t matter, that they weren’t playing with the usual rosters and it would be OK.

Cue that regular season and opening losses to Dallas, Arizona and Montreal.

At the end of that October, the Pens had won 7 of 11 games, but they were struggling, with 2 of those 7 wins requiring OT to finish the job.

That November, the Pens won only 5 of 12 games.

The Pens won only 5 of 14 games that December, a month that included losing 5 in a row – 4 of them at home – and 7 of 9 during one stretch.

This is the season in which the headlines those first few months were a near-daily question along the lines of “Is Sid OK?” because he was scoring well below his usual point-per-game pace. Those lacking anything better to write opted for discussing how Sid might be slowing down, losing a step, showing signs of his “advanced age”.

I, too, was wondering. My friends – and media documentation of Sid and Geno’s careers – had convinced me that they were the best of the best, that Sid was top 5 of all time. Yet, those claims didn’t match what I was seeing and reading.

Thankfully, I had my friends to talk me down off of the cliff during those long months that also saw Duper – a beloved player and favorite Sid winger – retire early because of health issues. It was harsh all the way around.

Fast-forward a few months, to when the Pens squeaked into the playoffs, only to knock out the Rangers in five games, knock out the Capitals in six games, knock out the Lightning in seven games, and take home the Cup after knocking out the Sharks in six games.

I get it. The Pens’ current losing streak is painful to watch. Even more so when you’re invested not just in the wins/losses of the collective team but in the players also suffering through it.

But ... it’s early yet. Only 11 games into the season. For all that the core remains, they have a lot of new guys settling in. And I know for a fact that a few rough months to start the season does not a bad season make. Sometimes, they make for the start of a truly amazing season.

Cass and Jason dynamic, but because their morals are so conflicting they pretend not to know each other’s secret identites for the family’s sake

Harper: How can you just talk to Jason when you beat the shit out of him just last night?

Cass: What do you mean?

Harper: C’mon, Cass! You literally broke his helmet!

Cass: No, I broke Red Hood’s helmet.

Harper:

Cass:

Jason: Mornin’. Y’all doing alright?

Cass: Good morning, Jay.

Harper: I-

Harper: Forget it. I’d rather not ask.

Or even them in the batcave getting ready for patrol:

Jason: See you later, Cass.

Cass: Later.

Cass: [Looks away and puts her Batgirl mask]

Jason: [Puts his helmet on and turns to face her]

Cass: Red Hood.

Jason: Batgirl.

f/o who doesn’t know they’re touchstarved until they meet you.

the heavy want grows in their chest and is absolutely undeniably there whenever you two even just briefly touch. when you’re so close that they’re so desperate have you closer, wanting to feel their body pressed against yours in a tight embrace, that the thought of your hand in theirs is barely enough. when you two finally hug, or whenever you do, they sink into your embrace almost immediately, a deep sigh of content heard as they wrap their arms around you to return the tender hug. it’s a little hard to get their arms off you afterward, with those small mumbles of “just a little longer” and “i don’t want to let go yet.”

maybe they’re super embarrassed about feeling so at first and are so glad whenever you indulge in their desire to have you, to feel your warmth. or they’re incredibly stubborn about it but their actions always say otherwise, finding every little chance to have their skin touch yours, to quietly tug on your sleeve or any other sign that you immediately know what they want with it.

eitherway they’re forever thankful that you’re so understanding. with the little touches you guys end up doing like from simply pushing a strand of hair behind an ear or running fingers through each other’s hair, they’re absolutely addicted. smitten, even, so incredibly much that they can’t put their love for this, for you into words.

I hope paradoxes are like quicksand to a future generation, everyone is worried about them as a kid and then they realize they will never encounter it
