photos from here, I NEED FOOTAGE OF THIS. also this article is a great read. he’s invited some families who lost their homes in the halifax fires to practice:

By the time you read this, Pittsburgh Penguins players will have munched on the pudding known as haggis, made from the livers, hearts and lungs of sheep. And learned how to shuck oysters, in all their slimy, gooey glory.

All courtesy of Sidney Crosby, the Pittsburgh captain, who brought team building to an entirely new level on Saturday. From the moment months ago that he learned the Penguins would be playing here, Crosby was stoked. A proud native of Cole Harbour, 10 miles from Halifax, the 36-year-old began planning out his transformation from NHL star to tour guide.

“I think just the feel of it, the people, and to see the excitement for the game,” Crosby said Friday. “And just to get around the city a little bit, those types of things.

“It’s somewhere that I’m really proud of, and I hope everyone enjoys themselves there.”

In order to do that, he set something up with a unique Maritime flavor. Welcome to “The Amazing Race: Crosby Edition.”

“When Sidney found out the team was coming here, he wanted to find a fun way to celebrate his hometown with his teammates and educate them on why it’s such a special place,” his father, Troy, said.

He seems to have done exactly that.

After a morning of golf Saturday, the unsuspecting Penguins set out on an “Amazing Race”-like scavenger-hunt competition that would take them through the streets of Cole Harbour, Dartmouth and downtown Halifax, and across Halifax Harbour on a ferry.

Under the format, the players were divided into teams. They were given instructions of where to go, what venues to visit and what tasks they were to do (e.g., eating haggis, shucking oysters), all while going up against the clock.

The instructions came on laminated cards featuring the Penguins logo and a “Welcome to Cole Harbour” greeting.

The message on one of the cards read, “Every player has to shuck two oysters and eat them or have a teammate eat them on their behalf. Careful with that knife, and don’t break any shells!”

Crosby enlisted the help of Paul Mason, one of his baseball and minor hockey coaches, to help plan the event. Mason was paramount in setting up the three Cole Harbour Stanley Cup celebrations in Crosby’s honor, and No. 87 didn’t hesitate when it came to the perfect person to set up this event.

“In organizing this, when he talked to me about it, he wants this entire weekend to be pretty special for the community, for his teammates, for everyone around him,” Mason said. “You can sense how much these few days mean to him. You could sense his anticipation for months.”

Mason said that even though Crosby is the host for his teammates this weekend, he’s going to try to win everything: golf, the scavenger hunt, the preseason game Monday, you name it.

“He’s competitive at everything, even as a little kid when I was coaching him,” Mason said. “And that hasn’t changed.

“When the NHL was shut down during COVID, his dad Troy and I played Sidney and one of his friends in a golf match. They should have won, but somehow we did. He didn’t accept that. He said it was two out of three. When we won the second one he said it was three out of five. We ended up playing seven of them. The seventh one was in December with snow on the ground. They won that one to take the series 4-3. Suddenly that was acceptable because they’d won.

“Once they’d finally won, it was over,” Mason said with a laugh.

During some of those summers, Greenwood has helped organize some of the offseason skates featuring Crosby, MacKinnon and Marchand at a local arena. The competitiveness gets intense at times, something Greenwood said helps all three drive each other.

“Yeah, they’re friends,” he said. “But when they start playing against each other at times, you’d never know it. They want to beat one another at any and all costs.

“You can see how that drive, that determination, that win-at-all-costs attitude rubs off on some of the younger guys.”

Count Drake Batherson as one of them. The 25-year-old Senators forward grew up in New Minas, 50 miles northwest of Halifax, and has been training during the offseason with Crosby, Marchand and MacKinnon since 2019. He calls those workouts “one of my favorite times of the year.”

As such, he’s looking forward to facing Crosby and the Penguins in Halifax on Monday.

“I've still got posters of the Penguins and Sid on my wall at my parents' house, so it's pretty fun now that me and Sid have built a relationship and we're buddies," Batherson said. "It's pretty cool looking back on it.”

It was a tough spring and summer for Nova Scotia.

In late May and early June, wildfires raged through the outskirts of Halifax and throughout the province. More than 16,000 people were forced to evacuate as a result, many eventually returning to find their homes were nothing more than heaps of smoldering ashes.

Less than two months later, the area was hit with record rainfall that caused historic flooding. Water did seep into Crosby’s home, though to nowhere near the extent of some others where people pretty much lost everything.

“The area has been through a lot,” he said. “But the great thing about some of these communities, and the area in general, is that everyone sticks together and everyone’s willing to help each other.

“I think when you’ve seen adverse times here over the years, you’ve seen people come together more and more. And I think we take a lot of pride in that here. The fact that people know they can depend on each other is huge. I think we’ve shown that time and time again, and there’s pride that comes with that.”

Crosby is doing his part to teach local kids exactly that.

On Sunday, the Penguins will hold a practice at Cole Harbour Place. Hundreds of children from the local minor hockey systems have been invited to attend and take part in a Q&A session with some Pittsburgh players and, with a select few kids getting to go on the ice with them.

Part of that group will be kids from minor hockey whose families lost their homes in the fires. Crosby specifically wanted them to attend, with Mason helping to make it happen. Given the trauma they and their families have gone through, it is Crosby’s way of trying to brighten up their lives, even if it’s just for one afternoon.

“That’s Sid, right?” Greenwood said. “He’s going to have an impact on these kids, both on the ice and off.”

He already has.

In 2009, Crosby established the Sidney Crosby Foundation, an organization that improves the lives of children who are sick or struggling. More recently, Crosby and several foundation board members created Nova Scotia Showdown T-shirts heading into the game Monday, with proceeds going to his foundation.

“He’s helping young kids who are going through hard times, and he’s being a role model for young hockey players in the province,” Mason said. “He’s going out of his way to show his Penguins a good time here, and he’s being a great ambassador for the community.”

Greenwood agrees.

“It’s a privilege,” he said, “to say you live in the same place as someone like that.”

May 28, 2024

Cameron hurried into her home in Nova Scotia and paused in the doorway hearing laughing, she smiled as she walked into the kitchen seeing her dad, Nate and Fraser sitting around the island eating her dad’s famous banana bread.

Sidney had offered to go pick Fraser up because she had a training session at the same time. Cameron was still surprised how much her dad seemed to like Fraser since he met in him in the hospital.

Cameron smiled even softer seeing Mr. Mack sitting right next to Fraser.

Cameron quietly walked over to them and leaned over Fraser grabbing a small piece of the banana bread and eating it.

Fraser froze as he knew immediately who that was and beamed spinning around and seeing Cameron standing there, “Cam.” Fraser was beaming as he pulled her into a gentle hug.

“Hi Fras.” Cameron whispered softly hugging his back.

Sidney raised an eyebrow at Nate as the scene in front of him proved his point, Nate didn’t believe Sidney at all when he said Cameron had a crush on someone.

Nate titled his head still looking shocked.

They pulled away from their hug and Cameron turned to her dad and uncle “Were you nice Uncle Nate.” Cameron narrowed her eyes at Nate, she knew better than anyone that Nate likes to tease but she wanted to make sure he was nice to Fraser.

Nate gasped dramatically putting a hand over his heart looking offended, “I was so nice Cammie!”

Cameron hummed in response not believing him for a second and grabbed Fraser’s hand and pulled him out of the kitchen.

“Hey!” Nate called out offended making her giggled as she continued to walked away with Fraser.

“Come on i’ll show you my favorite spot.” Cameron softly spoke to Fraser and she guided him through her house and to the back yard.

Fraser looked around realizing the Crosby’s house is right on the water.

Cameron brought him to the hammock and she plopped down on it patting the spot next to her making Fraser quickly sit down next to her.

The hammock has always been Cameron’s favorite place to be and she is always found sitting there.

Cameron set her head on Fraser shoulder and closed her eyes listening to the peaceful silence.

Fraser set his head on top of Cameron’s head and happily relaxed next to her.

“Thank you for coming.” Cameron softly whispered, she fiddled with Fraser’s hand.

“Thank you for inviting me.” Fraser whispered just as softly back as he gently squeezed her hand.

Fraser stayed for a few days and Cameron showed him around her home town, bringing him to all of her favorite places. He met a lot of her family not all of them yet but the ones that met him could all tell why Cameron adores him.

Fraser really enjoyed being able to see more parts of Cameron and got to see more sides of her, he loved getting to see all the things that are important to her.

He also found it very sweet how close Cameron is to all of her family and how much all of her little cousins look up at her.

It was the first of many times that Fraser came to the Crosby’s house in Nova Scotia.

Who should I write about?

I tallied the votes of round one and it's time for round 2 (also the final round) of you deciding who this story should be about. Below are the top eight vote receivers.

I made one minor tweak because as I worked on the story more the age of Crosby didn't work, sorry! I am planning on writing a short smutty blurb for him just to compensate everyone who voted for him though!

Quick fic summary:

Reader insert. Reader and player grew up together but an unlikely friendship (he was a jock and she was a socially awkward band member)

Smut, smut, and even more smut! (I may mix in a sliver of plot, but its basically all smut)

Player will be readers teacher, coaching her on everything in the bedroom 🥵

Could have multiple parts but they will all be stand-alone pieces. May also be months between them (I long ago gave up the idea of committing to writing schedules)

Good Omens Book Club

POSSIBLE GOOD OMENS SPOILERS

You have been warned, please don’t spoil yourself. This refers to books referenced in S2 of Good Omens, but I am not relating them to events or plot.

EDIT: @ineffable-romantics​​ gave some really excellent suggestions. Having rewatched and looked up their starting sentences, I think these are right. I suppose only Neil Gaiman or Douglas Mackinnon could confirm 100%. More below.

In episode 2 we get a shot of a book shelf. I have compiled the titles, though two are illegible. For one you can make out the publisher mark, the other is too far back in the shadows. I have listed them in order on the shelf, plus the books that Gabriel picked up.

-

The Books:

I Capture the Castle - Dodie Smith

No Woman No Cry - Rita Marley

A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens (Mystery book, in the shadows)

The Crow Road - Iain Banks

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - Mark Haddon

Catch-22 - Joseph Heller

Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Gracia Marquez

The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath (Mystery book, publisher mark visible but I can't make it out)

Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell

The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler

The Bible

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger

A Series of Unfortunate Events - Lemony Snicket

Herzog - Saul Bellow

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

-

Here’s the opening line for The Bell Jar:

‘It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn’t know what I was doing in New York.”

And for A Tale of Two Cities:

‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...”

Gabriel reads this aloud in the bookshop (07:14), and shelves it near the Crow Road! Mystery solved? Perhaps. (Wait and see?)

“X-Ray Trivia” from Amazon Prime states “The Good Omens Book Club - Co-showrunners Neil Gaiman and Douglas Mackinnon would love for everyone to read these books. Douglas Mackinnon put these books in alphabetical order, starting with their first sentence.

All the books ‘Jim’ has reshelved so far by alphabetical order of ... the first line in each. Each book’s first line begins with ‘I’.

Gabriel shelving a book near Iain Banks’ ‘The Crow Road.’

April 19, 2024

Cameron was curled up in a little ball on her couch laying next to Fraser, they were taking a break after having been packing up her apartment as she is going home in a few days and would most likely not be coming back next season.

Mr. Mack was curled against Fraser’s other side fast asleep agonist Fraser. Fraser was playing with Camron’s hair as they just relaxed in silence.

“Will you come visit in the summer?” Cameron nervously and softly asked Fraser looking up at Fraser.

Fraser’s eyes widen in shock and surprise, “You want me to visit?” Fraser questioned suprised she wanted him to visit her but he would gladly visit the girl who has stolen his heart.

“Yeah,” Cameron nervously nodded, “If you want to.” Cameron bit her lip looking hopeful, Fraser is very important to her and she wants him to see her home.

“Of course, i would love to Cam.” Fraser softly spoke smiling softly at her.

“Cool.” Cameron beamed at him, looking very happy that he would be coming out to Nova Scotia.

Cameron took a deep breath and lifted her head off the couch and rested her head gently down on to Fraser’s lap, “Is this okay?” Cameron hopefully whispered hoping he would not ask her to move.

Fraser swallowed nervously at her laying on his lap and he gently brushed her hair away from her face and softly tucked her hair behind her ear, “It’s perfectly okay.” Fraser watched as she smiled and she looked pleased making him looked pleased.

“When do you want me to come out?” Fraser quietly questioned after a few moments of comfortable silence, he wanted to make sure he left time in his summer so he come see her.

“Well how about the end of May?” Cameron asked and Fraser nodded in agreement not seeing why that wouldn’t work.

“Okay. Good. I should be back from worlds the latest the 27th.” Cameron added, the best case scenario is that she gets to the medal games and even then she would be back by the 27th.

“You’re going to worlds?” Fraser asked in surprise, he did not know she was going to be playing in Worlds.

“Yeah, i thought it would be good before my draft since i missed Juniors.” Cameron explained, “And Con is going to be playing so i’ll get to play with him as well.” Cameron added softly, one of the many reasons she was most excited to play at Worlds was being able to play with best friend again.

“That makes sense.” Fraser nodded his head in agreement, he was not surprised a reason she wanted to play was to play with Connor. Fraser has seen first hand how close the two best friends are.

“So i will come the 28th?” Fraser double checked as he gently twirled the ends of her chestnut brown hair around his fingers.

“Mhm.” Cameron softly agreed and closed her eyes contently.

Bold = Top Ten

Some notes: I’ve been going through one of those periods where I just wasn’t feeling it maaaan with regards to films and tumblr. Other things consumed my attention (Auriel's Bow isn't going to fetch itself from the Forgotten Vale) and at times it felt a struggle to watch and post. Still...

Anyway here’s one of those fancy two month Film Logs last seen in August/September 2022 only this time there’s a Top Ten compiled from both months. A few TV things make it into the list. I’m sometimes unsure about putting TV in the *Film* Log but The End of the F***ing World is great and I was very taken with Behind Her Eyes because it actually surprised me in the direction it took, such an unusual experience nowadays, plus the two female leads were very attractive. Hey, I’m only human, like Phil Oakey.
