Drawing idea: A goalie support group for goalies who carried their team in the playoffs (Georgie, Sway, Silovs…).

shout out to goalies, they’re my favorite gender

[fiveminutemajorpenalty]

What’s your favourite aspect of the avs-wings rivalry (either now or from the 90s?)

now the rivalry doesn’t really exist between the two teams anymore

But HONESTLY it was just SO GOOD in the 90’s. both teams were MONSTERS with franchise players on both teams, like…. CRAZY good. and that’s what made the rivalry so good. it wasn’t just two teams with personal beef. it was two teams with personal beef that would meet EVERY PLAYOFF RUN. I’ll forever dog on the 90’s redwings, but SHIT they were GOOD.

I’ll always always love fighting in hockey. Just nasty, tough, scrappy hockey has always been my thing. (mostly because i was raised on clips from the 90’a rivalry.) (also that’s how i for both this username and penaltyboxmaster lmao) Patrick Roy fighting Osgood AND Vernon was iconic, that’s the best part.

also you’re not a hockey fan if there’s not one team you absolutely despise so

Gratitude

It has been quite a while since my last post, but I was really happy to receive everyone's messages. Considering the circumstances, it might not be easy for everyone to celebrate birthdays properly, but I am truly grateful for the heartfelt messages each of you sent.

As I've said at the live performance and elsewhere, I want to emphasize it again here: having everyone's support allows us to stand back up and continue moving forward, no matter what happens. The fact that we, the members of The GazettE, have been able to continue our activities up to this point is thanks to everyone's support, and on the stage of 5.27 [SIX GUNS], feeling everyone's heartfelt emotions so directly, made us aware and provided the courage to move forward as a unified group of five.

Continuing our live performances and deepening these feelings further is, in my opinion, the greatest way to give back to you all. Given all that I've received from everyone in my life, how should I repay it through music? I find great joy in thinking about this, so please look forward to it.

Thank you very much, everyone.

Ok, part two of the WIP title ask game! @mystic-mints

Re-Becoming is a canon set wip fic with spiderparents but early days into the relationship. Something happens in Miguel’s lab that reverts him into a five month baby. He’ll slowly be re-aging in increments of five (5 months, 5 years, 10 years, etc). It’s fluff, comedy, whump, angst, drama all in one.

Excerpt:

MJ stared wide eyed as her husband appeared with not just one, but two babies.

“Pete, is there something I need to know about?”

“Yeah but not that way.” Peter handed her Mayday as he went into the nursery. MJ closely followed. “So, funny thing. This is Miguel.”

MJ’s jaw slacked. “He had another kid?”

“No.” Peter huffed as he rummaged around the box of old baby clothes one handed. “It is him, Mr. Tall, Grumpy Spider.”

“No way.”

“Yes way and I’d love it if you could pull out a onesie that’ll fit him.”

MJ put Mayday in her crib. Mayday peeked through the bars to watch. MJ glanced at baby Miguel and he opened his sleepy eyes. MJ put a hand to her heart.

“He’s fricking adorable. Look at those round cheeks!”

“I know and he’s very sleepy.”

“Oh,” MJ tutted. “I told you he wasn’t getting enough sleep.”

“Yeah well, now his baby self is paying the price.”

Whos the dude in your pfp?

I was just going to respond with this image to be silly but then i realized that. I don't think I ever actually gave any description of any specific element of his deal on here (even my "public" description of him was only on artfight) like just completely forgot that everyone doesn't already know this guy in relatively extensive detail

so umm this is frank...you have seen him…he is a rabbit (hence ears) and he lives in an office building and has never left that building for as long as he can remember and has never met another living person because everything/everyone in the building is some kind of robot or something as far as he knows. But that's normal for him so he doesn't question it. And he also has only one eye but he's always only had one eye so that's normal for him as well. And he is the #1 tap water fan in the world.

(obviously the existence of that other guy i was posting about yesterday who is literally just a human person kind of immediately negates the status quo set up by this description. but thats like the normal state of him...before anything particularly wacky happens...ok...)

[miyakuli]

I tried to comment on the post, but it didn't look like it went through. So I thought I'd just send you an ask instead. But, regarding captions on your posts, this is how they look on my mobile:

I don't get the weird spacing issues, so the original layout looks just fine on my end.

I'm wondering if the issue is based on screen-size; larger screens can view it as intended, but smaller ones might have to shove the text around to make it fit.

Hello!! ohhhhhhhh indeed, it looks perfectly normal on your app :o !! That's a relief then, at least the text caption is not "broken" for everyone x') hmm maybe it's because of the screen size like you said... thank you very much for sharing this info with me :)

Random HC for pbm&m: (cause you asked nicely)

Random thing I've seen is that Peter B and MJ are Jewish, but with Miguel being more Latino, it might be interesting to see that bit of culture clash, but not bad, just,,, learning each other's beliefs and what to do about them. Could be cute (I do not know the comics well, so I am going off of general Latino stuff)

Omg I love this!! Tysm!! Like I can totally see the sharing of foods and culture between them being so genuine. What I've loved as a Jewish person growing up in Los Angeles, where Hispanic and Latino cultures alike are so prominent, is how familial both cultures are? There's a real sense of belonging to both and this really pervasive warmth to both.

One fun parallel between cultures that I can see all three getting emotional about is the prospect of Mayday's Bat Mitzvah and/or her Quinceñera (if Miguel adopts her and co-parents her, which is already canon /nonreality) and it just being back-to-back emotional damage for all three.

Need another goalie support group for this season pls :))

i think i may do this for every division bc this is so fun, but my numbers say the central division is struggling with goal tending rn

EGP and Re-Becoming? 👀

Ooh ho ho two titles eh? Ok @mystic-mints I’ll answer in two parts. This is in response to the WIP titles ask game,

EGP stands for Emergency Girlfriend Program, so modern day au, Miguel/MJ focused but poly end goal (there will be Peter/Miguel interactions and established Peter/MJ as a couple).

Excerpt:

“Who the hell are you?”

“Your girlfriend,” MJ brazenly smiled, flipping a business card in Miguel’s view. “Temporarily of course.”

He took the card. “Emergency Girlfriend Program?”

“EGP for short. Need a plus one for an event? That’s me. Have that one company party you don’t want to attend alone? Hello, handsome.” She tapped the back of the card. “My work number and email are listed. I commonly cover company parties, birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs, engagement parties, and weddings but only if it’s one day.”

He scoffed, handing it back. “Ridiculous.”

“And yet my maneuvering has gotten you free from that pushy guy.” She easily slid the card into his front suit pocket. “Call me sometime.” She winked. “You need me.”

How did frank and attery meet Tell me now (pretty please 😁)

OK so this is sort of a thing that would happen in the [whatever format this would be in] because its sort of inciting so maybe this will change or maybe i do not have all the details fully in place, but for now how i think it would go is:

attery has been stuck in the same building frank lives in but only for a couple years and not his whole life (why? well its a mystery forever unless i manage to say later) Theyve never met before because attery was hiding very well (Why does he have to hide? Umm i dont know if i can say that yet either) but then some wacky coincidence happens. And then due to a silly misunderstanding Attery throws a heavy object directly at Frank's head and gives him a concussion but only a little bit

He's ok. He will regain consciousness eventually. And they are best friends now.

and then something something A Wacky And Nonspecific Storyline Happens unfortunately i have only thought of things that would happen at only hte beginning and end and not the middle so i cannot help you any more than this. Frank is ok don't worry

. . . what are tiger mosquitoes?

It's a a species of mosquito originally from Asia and it's sooooo much more annoying than a common mosquito. It's little, it has white bands and it's super fast and so quiet!!! and their venom is much more agressive ><

TM GAME TOURNAMENT MAGAZINE ANNOUNCEMENT 14 PART 01

Written By: Neng Hong Lam Date Written: May 28, 2025

Table of Contents: Book 1 Book 2 Introduction Chapter 01: 1992-1994 Chapter 02: 1992-1994 Chapter 03: 1993-1995 Step By Step Long Journey To Acceptance And Forgiveness Part 28 Chapter 04 [1.] Dirge For the Immigrants A. Achieving the San Diego Family Life B. Effective Transition To Education Step By Step Long Journey To Acceptance And Forgiveness Part 29 Chapter 04 Continue [Important Note 12 (Yearbook)] B. Effective Transition To Education (Continue)

Important Note 12 (Yearbook)

In Book 1 and Book 2 (to this point), I didn't point out the description of the people in those books. I only point out their age and how they are related to me. And, some time I would point out their occupation.

Since it is written like an autobiography. This mean because I was living with my family during those years took place in those books. So, the huge amount of information about my family is equivalent to description about my family.

What I wanted to says is there are people who I wrote about. Look at those information is equivalent to description about them. There are people I just mention and didn't write a lot about them. So, starting now I will add more description to those people who I just mention and didn't write a lot about them. Example: I would add description of the way they dress. Their overall appearances. And, their nationalities.

In the later on chapters, I would write about the Yearbook Department in Pacific Beach Middle School (PBMS) and Mission Bay High School (MSHS). For now, I would keep it at, it would be useful to me to have the yearbooks with me while I'm writing this healing process.

I only have the 1996 CPES Yearbook. Many years ago, I asked my mother, Sok Nghim Hoi have she sees my 2003 MBHS Yearbook. Her answer is no. I think while she did some house keeping in the house she misplace it some where.

Lucky: The Yearbook Department. Staffs and students who still have their yearbooks. And/or, accessible and retrievable archive (database and library). Would help me out by providing me with the 1999 PBMS Yearbook and 2003 MBHS Yearbook. So, I could have pictures of the staffs and students. Also, knowing how to spell their names correctly.

Bad Luck: People who are creating arguments against me to stop me from continue to write this healing process.

I'm not going to dwell about being "Lucky" or being "Bad Luck".

I'm going with what I have. The following is what I have:

Championship: I have accumulated 199 First Places in the weekly and annually TM Game Tournaments (1999-2006. 2004, 2010, 2012, & 2014). All the TM Game Tournament locations I participated is in San Diego, California USA. Exception is on 2004, I got 8 First Places in Indiana TM Game Tournaments. After book 1, this healing process take place in San Diego.

Journalism: I have the reporter position of the Mission Bay High School (MBHS) Journalism for 2 years (2002-2003). MBHS Journalism Newspaper is called the "Beachcomber".

College Multimedia Student: I have took many college multimedia classes in San Diego Mesa College starting on 2005 (my college years start on 2003). Also, I served as club president of Mesa Multimedia Club for 4 years from 2008-2011.

Effective Transition To Education (Continue)

When I look at my life and my situation it is very mess up. But, if I cry about it only make it more mess up.

Just deny it. If you are into Empty Handed Combat like me. Then, you could bruise yourself.

The argument is when a person keep denying it so much. He or she might forget that he or she been denying it.

"Is that you? Taking care of your family? You don't even know how to read, how did you translate those English language documents to your parents?" God making judgement on me.

The argument is you are a nobody. Not important country-side boy. A troublemaker to your school. A drag to your family and your parents. In addition, it is not you when you are being responsible. When you are managing your life. When you are taking care of your family.

DENY IT!!!

I would argues I know my parents care about me. If I was lost in the Sand Be forest, then my parents would get a search team to search for me in the forest.

"Says it to your parents who adopted other children. Yet, how much you wished if only your parents was there for you just one time." God making judgement on me.

I rather deny the fact about how much times my parents have for me. Now my parents adopted other children. This mean my parents would have lesser time for me.

At this point of time, I just hope my parents have more time for me. I rather not question about my parents' parenting.

So, I didn't think about why my parents is watching over Marco and her 2 sisters. But, it is hard to deny that Marco is a reflection of my family. Example: Marco is only 7 years old. She is watching over her baby sister who is only a few years old. And, her younger sister who is 1 year younger than her. (I forgot the younger sister name. I'm going to give her a nickname, BT.)

Deny it. Or, I'm going to have to says I could barely take care of myself, how do I have time to watch Marco?

Deny it. Or, I'm going to have the following thought: My family been beating the odds. Why can Marco beat the odds too like my family and take care of her 2 younger sisters?

Beside #1 and #2, she got First Place in the spelling bee competition.

Somehow my parents could talk with Marco as though she is part of the family.

"So, BT, it is when your parents is not around, Marco would watch over you and your baby sister?" I would ask BT.

"I some time help Marco watch over our baby sister." BT would answered.

As for me, somehow I could talk with BT.

Anyway, each time I hear my family members saying, "Marco, your baby sister is crying?". I can't help it, but I want to says, "But, Marco is only 7 years old."

The way I sees it: If my family can't stop thinking about it. Then, my family would deny it.

Even though, I didn't asked my parents why Marco, BT, and their baby sister is in our apartment. But, I think my family are babysitting them. In addition, because my family been beating the odds, so to my family Marco watching over her 2 younger sisters seem normal.

As for me, I would watch Marco, BT, and their baby sister living with my family from a distance.

Whenever Marco and BT see me in the CPES campus, they recognize me and they would greet me. I would greets them back.

If I think about Marco, then I would come up with the following:

The Brain In Her Family: Since Marco got First Place in the spelling bee competition, I could picture her explaining about her situation. She is the brain in her family. As the brain, she would manage her family. She would explain that BT is the more beautiful sister. Also, a more quiet sister.

She Have Choice: Even though, I think my family doesn't think about why Marco, BT, and their baby sister is living with us. But, the argument is my family have no choice but to beat the odds against our family. As for Marco, she could be argued as she have choice such as she don't have to watch over her 2 younger sisters. And, she don't have to get first place in the spelling bee competition.

So, I go with my family and don't think about why Marco, BT, and their baby sister some time would stay in our apartment.

Some time ago, right afterschool, I was chasing Tony Quintero because he snatched my backpack. I placed my backpack in front of a classroom, so I could play some playground activities.

After about 2-3 streets, I caught him. But, he already ran inside a huge apartment complex.

At that point of time, I didn't know that apartment complex is where Marco's family live. Also, Todd, Jill, and their children live in that apartment complex.

After I punched Tony a few times and took back my backpack. I think I would ask him about why he ran into this place. I think he would replied that I was lucky I was able to get my backpack back.

Anyway, as I was walking out that apartment complex, I saw elevator. I have never seen an elevator up close before. My thought are if I know anyone living in this apartment complex, then I could get in the elevator.

Back to Marco. There are a few times, me and my siblings escorting Marco, BT, and their baby sister to their apartment complex.

My child thoughts are this huge apartment complex would be a perfect place to play hide and seek. Or, tag. The elevators and stairways would add more fun to it.

But, seeing Marco taking care of her 2 younger sisters, I try not to have those child thoughts around her.

This mean me and my siblings would wait until Marco is out of sight, then we talk about playing hide and seek or tag in Marco's apartment complex.

We decided if we were to play, then we would play in the parking long. Not to play in the apartment complex.

One time, in the parking log. Our 2 older sisters, Bun and Lieng is in a car. Bun is in the driver seat. Bun told me and our 2 brothers, Ho and Du to get in the car. It is time to go home.

Me, Ho, and Du would told her. "Come on. Stay a little bit longer."

She started her car engine. We were children playing around. So, me, Ho, and Du hope on top of the car to get her to stay longer. As the car started moving, Ho and Du decided to get off hanging on the car. I still hanging on on top of the car.

I recalled that Starr's older brother, Leon Barrowclough injured himself badly jumping off a moving truck. So, I decided to jump off the moving car before I get into severe injuries. While jumping off the moving car, I scraped my hand and knee.

The argument is no matter what I do. Nothing will ever change. I will always be that person who get eliminated right at the beginning of the spelling be competition. Marc and Marco will always be the ones who got First Place in the spelling bee competition.

Coincidentally, Marc became my friend. Marco occasionally would live in our apartment.

It is hard for me to argues that I'm not jealous of Marc and Marco. I sees them like my brother and sister. Vice-versa, I think they see me like their brother also.

Because no one care about the loser who got eliminated right away. People only care about the champions who got First Place.

The argument it is a hard learning lesson. On 1993, when my third grade teacher, Mrs. Garrey sign me up in the spelling bee competition. I should of tells her I don't want to be in the competition. Because I'm still learning how to speak the English language, so I can't be in the competition. This mean it is a hard lessor on self-confident, self-esteem, and standing up for myself.

The reason Mrs. Garrey did that to me, because I was lacking confidence. She want to teach me the lesson on lacking confidence consequence.

Dwelling about it. Would lead to ruin the relationship with Marc and Marco. Also, creating hatred and jealousy toward Marc and Marco.

To stop dwelling about it, I have to see it as the following outcomes:

Redemption: I will constantly redeem myself. One day, people will give me a chance on redemption.

Nothing Will Ever Change: I'm making the same mistake. Like the argument above, because no matter what I do. Nothing will ever change. I will always be the loser. Marc and Marco will always be the champions.

To redeem myself I have to find an effective transition to education.

The playground activities and grass field activities are consider as physical activities.

For an effective transition to the education I need activities for my brain to make me smarter.

But, I could hear the voice inside me crying out, what about the fame and people involved with those playground activities and grass activities. I compete very hard to becomes champion on those competitions.

I became a champion because of the tough struggles. The barren and harsh environment. And, the poverty and famine third world countries.

Other ways to become a champion: Training programs. Obstacle courses. Laboratory's experiments. And/or, survival of the fittest selection.

I'm being unfair to myself by not caring about my history. In addition, what if this transition to education is Nothing Will Ever Change argument. This mean I sacrifice what I have in my history. For nothing. Because not matter what I do nothing will ever change.

I put it at there is no easy way. Example: The tough struggles. The barren and harsh environment. And, the poverty and famine third world countries. Made me a champion. Instead of destroying me.

Even though, I'm not leaving behind my physical activities. But, being destroy by Nothing Will Ever Change Argument is the same as I have left behind my physical activities.

The argument is if people know I'm constantly searching for activities for my brain to make me smarter. Then, people would criticize.

If I go through a lot of struggles for nothing, because nothing will ever change, then I would hate myself and upset at myself for going through those struggles. But, could I live with because I'm inferior to Marc and Marco all the time, so I became jealous of them. The jealousy became hatred.

Make the sacrifice and become smarter versus hatred and jealousy over Marc and Marco.

Whenever Marco come over to my apartment, I would hear my family members saying, "Marco, your baby sister is crying." Why didn't I hate her? Why do I felt she is carrying a heavy burden?

One day, during lunch break, me and Marc is playing shooting hoop together at the basketball court. As usually, Marc would talk about how smart he is. How intelligence the human's intelligence are. By explaining about anything he see that needed explanation.

There are times, I wanted to says, "Marc, I get it. You are really smart."

Anyway, during the basketball game, it started raining. Me and him stop playing basketball and hurried to the auditorium. The auditorium is connected to the cafeteria. The wall separate the auditorium and cafeteria are 2 foldable walls. Pushing both foldable walls to the side make the auditorium almost 2 times bigger.

Me and him know the routine on rainy day to come to the auditorium. So, me and him watching the CPES staffs taking control of the auditorium by getting the students inside the auditorium to quiet down.

Then, all of a sudden the students quiet down as the staffs turn on the TV inside the auditorium.

"Marc, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" I would asked him excitingly. Since he is a spelling bee champion, so he is the smartest person in the class. As the smartest person, he usually notice things before people. That is why he keep explaining things.

But, this time, I noticed something before him.

"Same routine. Rainy day. The auditorium play movie." He would answered.

The TV got the whole auditorium to quiet down. Since he is the smartest person in the class, so left out the explanation. The following is the explanation: The whole package. The rainy day. The many talks among the students. The TV in the auditorium. The movie that students like to watch.
