01/04/2024 - SEA @ SJS

smoothest Shark alive Willyek bumps the puck free, speeds into the neutral zone to catch our Goonwag's feed, and protects the puck long enough for everyone to get set up. extended thoughts under the cut!

This will never make a highlight reel but it's inchresting TO ME!!! so, expanding gif by gif:

1. Ekky (SJS #72) gets his body in and uses his reach to interrupt the pass from Ryker Evans (SEA #39), giving our Goonwag (SJS #11) a chance! None of this entire sequence happens without Ekky's play here.

2. Goonwag follows up on the loose puck and starts the rush. He passes it up to Ekky as Shane Wright (SEA #51) is applying pressure on the backcheck - and if you go back you’ll that Ekky was already sprinting deep into the neutral zone to receive the pass...!! he even fumbles it a little but his recovery is so good!! he gets low and extends his whole arm, digs deep and catches up even though he's behind. he WANTS that puck...!!

3. auuuhh.... just really good job keeping the puck safe.. (garth baby also keeping such a tight gap on him..!! love you!!). Ekky, he just is the KING of cutting back in that specific corner of the ice... changes direction and gets the puck on his backhand… he is ALWAYS doing this!! he loves to do this!! also what the hell is his trailing leg doing ..! look at it a few times. whys it whipping back and forth like a boat rudder <3 lol!! HOW does he not fall over even once making this play..?

SIDEBAR okay I don't have gifs or clips on hand so sources: trust me bro BUT often in this exact scenario, he will execute a backwards pass to whoever is standing in the slot. the sharks are somehow 9th overall in the league for behind-the-net passes and I fully believe that stat is on Ekky:

4. So Ekky has cut back here, Evans has peeled off and rotated, Wright is back on and hounding him for the puck...! Ekky almost looks bowlegged here (?) skating to keep his body in position.. the puck is protected between him and the boards. As Brian Dumoulin (SEA #8) pushes him up along the boards he sends off a pass with perfect timing to Bails my perfect metroid bounty hunter (SJS #90)!!

Beyond the gifs, I just like how he absorbed all that pressure. Not that I've watched That Much hockey but ...worse players would've passed the puck much earlier feeling that sort of pressure, turning it over with no one else around them in position to receive it (i have seen this happen!!!).

Ekky is growing so much and he's been thrown into the deep-end with this rebuild... he's the remnants of a past regime, he's the first piece in this new one, and he's not quite the "star-material" that the rebuild and the media and the fans are demanding from him. but. god!!! he's done so well given the circumstances!!!!! he's learning and getting better every game, he's so hungry to win and succeed and he remains determined despite being engulfed in a season worth of losses...!!!

in conclusion nobody cares about the Sharks and no one is paying attention to them. i get that. watching a losing team is hard. but in all of this.. Ekky is sooo fun to watch! I love to see his spinoramas, his zone entries, his schmooves!! i am so charmed by his grittiness and tenacity… he’s just fun no matter what is happening!! ekky im ur biggest fan <3

#someone who understands skating better than me please explain how he... moves like that. specifically gif 3???#my boy is tokyo drifting..!! i woulda fallen over 10 times. i have SEEN guys lose their edges and eat shit trying to do that...!!!!#sharks lb #san jose sharks #william eklund #nhl gifs #hockeyedit #my writing #this is a pretty informal piece but i'm very happy w that lol #NEW TAG FOR THIS KIND OF THING! ->#puckpocketed details series #not pictured: bailey (90) passes the puck to addy (33)#who fumbles it from along the blue line ! but #it wouldnt be the 23-24 sharks if we could follow through on things loool <3 LUV you addy!! i am rooting for you so hard!! you WILL succeed #puck!gif

Astro Observations 2.0

Thank you all for 222 followers! <3

Take these observations for what they are: personal observations.

Super duper long because I love you all. :)

Aries moons tend to always be on the move. Often times, these natives have something energetically "off" at home which results in them not even wanting to be there. They're the type to always be at work or at their friend's place. May have parents they want to get away from. At least one of their parents leans toward a more masculine energy.

You cannot be in your feelings when you talk to a Virgo moon. Their love language is literally telling you all the ways you can improve yourself. It's not necessarily that they're trying to make you feel some type of way, they genuinely don't think there's anything offensive about it. They're naturally attracted to "fixer-uppers" and they love a good project. Only problem is, people are not your projects and your loved ones are allowed to be flawed.

On the note of Virgo moons, they also have a tendency to be permanently unimpressed. My mom has this placement and my sister and I always wanted grand reactions to the stuff we did as kids, but we never got them. Even to this day, my mom is the queen of giving absolutely nothing extra energetically lol. They literally look like this emoji --->😐. Unless they have fire placements, they tend to be the definition of stoicism.

I've been studying the relationship between Scorpio moons and their mothers for a while now because it is such an interesting dynamic. I noticed in the past, that Scorpio moon natives may experience a rather controlling mother figure, but I've recently noticed that this controlling nature goes both ways. Yes, their mother has control over them and their actions, but they have just as much control over her too. They're almost like puppets to each other. It's an incredibly intriguing dynamic that honestly leaves me speechless. Makes you wonder, in these specific situations, "Is anyone here truly the victim?"

We've talked about how moon signs can manifest and what your mother may have taught you, but what I have yet to touch on is how your moon sign reflects your mother's pregnancy experience. I've studied this a bit and I think my mom is the perfect example! My sister and I have opposing moon signs: Cancer and Capricorn. I've spoken to my mom in-depth about both her pregnancies and here is how she describes them:

-Pregnancy with Cancer moon: she was overweight, gained 50+ lbs during her pregnancy, used food to cope with her abusive relationship, was on bedrest, too depressed to do or go anywhere, spent most of her days in the house crying.

-Pregnancy with Capricorn moon: she was in amazing physical condition, gained less than 20 lbs during pregnancy (10 lbs of that was baby), had endless energy, worked out every day, worked overtime at her job, was broken up from my dad, lived alone, was in her bag.

Opposite moon signs and two completely different pregnancies!! Crazy, right?!

I've heard the theory that Capricorn moons are the eldest child, which is true in many cases. However, in my experience as a Capricorn moon, I'm the youngest and my eldest sister is a Cancer moon. But that doesn't debunk my "big sister" energy lol. My sister has always referred to me as her "big little sister" and when we were younger and my mom left us home alone, she always left me in charge. My Cancer moon sister was known for her big emotions and ability to quickly lose control. This dynamic has always been funny to me. Ex. We had a tornado watch (super rare where I live) and my sister was running around the house screaming and crying. While I was calmly in my bedroom playing dolls keeping it kosher. 🤣

God really did give his toughest battles to Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn moons. No one else is doing it like us! We came equipped with everything we needed to handle ALL the bs in our families.

Don't scorch me fire moons, but where is the personal accountability? I've seen water signs talk their way out of some situations, but the way a fire moon will dance around the truth really needs to be studied. I made this observation before and a Sag moon came for me which is how you know it's true. 😭

Moon sign compatibility is so real y'all. As an earth moon, I mainly form deep connections and bonds with other earth moons and *some* water moons. The other elements just don't do it for me. Even with my fire placements & degrees, I still struggle to understand fire moons.

I've read before that Leo moons have a tendency to be selfish, which I concur depending on the situation. But I think the reason why some of them act like this is because often times, they are either the only child or the favorite child. So they literally don't know what it means to compromise or not get their way. I've only met 2 Leo moons (that I know of) years apart and they both had the same tendencies and personality. Let me know if you've had a more positive experience with this moon sign!

Fixed moons may have mothers who are very controlling over their lives. Their mothers have a “fixed” idea of what their child’s life should look like. They have a tendency to have a puppet & puppeteer relationship. I’ve noticed that because of this, these natives tend to have one area of their lives that their mother can’t control and they spiral out of control in that area. Kinda like a “look mom, you can’t control me in EVERY way” type thing. The most common areas I’ve noticed this in is their sex lives and drugs/alcohol use.

Of course the above note is based on personal experience. I’ve heard quite a few mothers of fixed moons say to other people: “I made them do this” “there was no way I was gonna let them not do this…” like the kid has no choice in the matter.

Okay, enough about moon signs. For now...

This may not be too popular with the astro girlies buttt I believe we have a tendency to attract the versions of signs we speak into existence. For example, when I first started studying astrology, I was sick to my stomach to see that I was a Sagittarius rising because I had back-to-back experiences with Sagittarius suns stabbing me in the back, so I told myself they were the worst. In time, I wanted to accept all of my chart which included my own Sag placements. I had to heal my understanding and perception of them to see them differently. Now, I attract the funniest and kindest Sag suns! It all started with me. This is your sign to heal your trauma with that placement. 🤍 (yes, this is also a message to myself). What you see won't change until you change what you see!

If there's anything a mutable rising is gonna do it's change their physical appearance.

Earth risings, rising at earth degree, or chart ruler in earth house: these people are less likely to take bold chances and risks with their appearances. Not really the type to dye their hair crazy colors, although they are quick to get visible tattoos.

Virgo in big 6 appears naturally put together. They don't really have to get ready because they stay ready. And they expect the same from you, especially if you're their romantic partner. This is amplified if they have Libra or Leo placements.

I’ve noticed Virgo suns and risings are much less likely to wear makeup. I see them with it maybe once a year and even then it’s like one coat of mascara and some highlighter. One thing I have heard a lot of Virgo women say is that they literally don’t know how to do their makeup which may factor into why they don’t wear it. Virgo moons however do tend to wear makeup.

Aries and Scorpio placements are very protective of their loved ones. One wrong look in their direction and they're ready to pounce.

Gemini-Sagittarius axis: if there's one thing these placements are gonna do it's laugh at absolutely nothing for an extended period of time.

Taurus and Libra placements, do you really need that new blouse? Or that new stationary knowing dang well you have more than enough? No, put it back. Aht! PUT IT BACK. And keep your receipts, so when you get home from that impulsive purchase, you can bring it right back where you got it from.

Something about Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn placements in dark academia that really does something to me chile...dark academia was made for us!

Saturn rules teeth. Saturn placements and aspects can describe your teeth’s appearance and health. Saturn aspecting Jupiter may have larger teeth. Aspecting Mercury may result in the native having smaller teeth or possibly getting veneers. Saturn aspecting Venus can manifest as the native receiving many compliments on their teeth/smiles. In the case of harsher aspects, the native can feel their teeth directly hinder their perceived beauty.

I’ve noticed people with prominent Gemini/Virgo/Mercury placements are much more likely to have gaps in between their front teeth. Often times, this is a result of their teeth being on the smaller side.

Virgo placements (esp. moons) can have naturally “perfect” teeth that don’t require braces. But upon closer inspection, you can see their teeth are not perfect, but rather, the imperfections are so minuscule you have to truly look to find them.

Libra Suns typically go for either the relaxed look (very natural appearance, not much makeup) or all the frills (makeup, couture, luxury). I have yet to see an in between. Libras with Scorpio/8th house influence enjoy darker colors and go for a much more relaxed look. More likely to portray a dark feminine embodiment of Venus or a more natural feminine. Especially if they have Virgo placements.

Aries suns (males and females) are the BIGGEST sweethearts and I don’t see enough people praise them for their pure hearts. 🥹
