Sorry 2 Flyers, Phillies, and Kevin Kurz post in one post (<- the latter is the unforgivable one fuck Kevin Kurz) but this is the most important tweet I have ever read in my life. Matvei Michkov. High draft pick falls far bc no one wants to try to get him out of Russia. Danny Briere works his ass off and gets him out of Russia. Kid walks off the plane in a Phillies hat. Did he have it shipped to Russia? Did he buy it when he was here earlier this summer signing paper work to gtfo out of Russia? Why are you wearing a Phillies hat...how do u know who the Phillies are, you just got here. They are the BEST team. He wants to GET TO KNOW THE PLAYERS. He is going to root for this team bc he wants to get to know them, and will, bc he's out of Russia now and in the loving arms of Sean Couturier. Anyway my point is, I think he (19yo) wants to know the Phillies daycare (26-27yo) carnally. And I think we should let him.

Pls ashley if u want, could you list like the 10 most, to you, telling cockles moments/things that should make anyone think it’s obvious that they are more than friends.

oh dear, do i want to talk about cockles, i don't know...

OKAY.

a while back i answered a "top 3 no hetero explanation" moments ask, so let's count those as the first three to save me from repeating myself. i'll pull the rest from the masterlist, in no particular order.

4: jensen saying he and danneel both refer to misha as their boyfriend. it would take quite an effort to hetero that statement. bonus: my whole jenmisheel tag.

5: misha, possibly unaware he's on camera, casually calls jensen "sweetheart".

6: i don't have documentation of every time, but it's very common for jensen and misha to be significantly late to their panels/ops/autos, to change clothes in the middle of the day at cons, or be seen with... stains. 🤷‍♀️

midday pants change? 🤔 misha’s shirt turned inside out?? 🤔

misha tells fans it’s jensen’s fault he was late for photo ops  

jensen changed his shirt in the middle of the day, around the same time they were both late for their ops

both seen with… um… white… stains… on their clothes…

7: the ten year anniversary post, wherein they went back to the same restaurant they first went to dinner and sat at the same table. i mean, i've been with my qpp for 18 years and it would not even occur to us to do this lmao.

8: misha's "blanky" that he "kept in jensen's spare room", which led to fandom sleuths admitting it had long been covertly known that jensen and misha lived together in vancouver while filming spn from 2017-2020. @theyarebothgunshot did a brilliant post of a timeline of events surrounding their cohabitation.

9: misha wore a ring that jensen gave him during the time they lived together.

10: the casual but incredibly revealing intimacy with which they pose together, both publicly and privately. like, not to go on about body language, but i just can't buy this kind of closeness without something going on. there's a whole section of the masterlist devoted to moments of intimacy like these.

now, if you're new to cockles and i've just blown your mind, that's what the masterlist i've put my blood, sweat, and tears into is for.

And now Lars isn't on the bench?

...Vince sparked his own heat with that fight last night and his "lower body injury" is related, Lars had to see to him, it's the only explanation I will accept

[wiccawrites]

life in shambles (work again! 😣) so I forgot to crosspost but here's a snippet of the mileapo fic I'm working on for mileapo au month!!!

[lunar-years]

someone tagged that swiftie poll "i hate the weird fanfic-ification of her life" and i totally get what they mean by that but my hot take is that both late stage k-ylors and the t-yvis ~marriage and babies incoming!~ crowd would benefit greatly from writing some rpf fanfiction to channel those feelings in a way that is actually significantly less intrusive and more personally healthy for them as fans 🤷‍♀️ Like sure, enjoy your little fantasies but do it through a channel clearly recognized as fictional and imaginary and you all will feel soooo much better I promise. it's the cult-like insistence (on both ends) that everything she does (literally everything) IRL is a hint at or mask for something else that is Definitely Reality or Soon to Be Reality in their heads that is uuuhhh. 1) concerning. 2) creepy.

[feddy-34]

don't you want DEs in love? (pt. 2)

part one here!

starting with their time at ohio state, where in 2017 they combined for 52 tackles and 12 sacks and chase wasn't even a full time starter! both likely would have been all conference in 2018 if nick hadn't torn his core muscle 4 games into the season, but chase was named second team all conference.

featuring combining for a sack and combining for a celly vs the other OSU (oregon state) and nick coming back to visit chase during practice after he had surgery and was out for the season

fortunately the niners did not suck in 2019 but we did miss out on drafting chase and got some epic Yearning out of these two

yeah i don't know

they've now been reunited after a midseason trade and provide plenty of Content on the daily, which i definitely could not combine into one post so here's some highlights

post safety celly on christmas versus the ravens

levitating featuring fred doing... whatever that is

on the road in jacksonville, matching cleats of course

and finally combining for a sack in chase's first game as a niner

these two are seriously tight and it shows. sit next to each other on the sideline every single game, always the first to congratulate each other after a big play, constantly competing in practice. chase even said it was a blessing to get traded cuz "nick is here" (actual quote).

and finally... post divisional celly!!

[esmeamesart]

Outing myself as a swiftie, some crimes can never be forgiven etc

[beforewecame]

submitting to the mortifying ordeal of being known or whatever. take my hand. come with me. no I don't know where the fuck this is going

[moregraceful]

kitnita's reblog of the wemby/connor post reminded me that for some reason last night my instagram feed was JUST photos of wemby crying after the basketball finals -- i literally do not know what i liked or stared too long at to see so many photos of him crying. and people were being so mean about it for no reason?? but one was a video of him finding his mom after the game and burying his head in her neck while she hugged him and comforted him...oh he's just a little guy :(

but then I was thinking ok what if swagless akc purse dog connor bedard was stealth wagging it up at the olympics and he had to SIT THERE and WATCH and he COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. sports romance novels love a dramatic coming out at a winning moment mcs overcome by the high of winning that they can't control themselves...but what about the silent grief of not being able to comfort someone you love. not be able to offer yourself, your love, your touch. bc to do so on a truly global stage would more than jeopardize your careers, it would also jeopardize professional and personal relationships that would cushion the landing of a negative fall out. what if he just had to sit there and watch and want to move and want to comfort wemby but he CAN'T, he knows he can't!! and what if wemby didn't read anything into that because he's more sensible and more thoughtful than connor and somehow that makes connor feel worse, that he's predictably never going to make waves or rock the boat in any way that really matters. connor you were put on this earth with sharp teeth and a beating heart now DO SOMETHING

22 f1 fic rec pt. III

Hey there! 

It’s been a while since the last one but finally I’m here for the last fic rec of the year :) 

I’m offering you ten of the best f1 fics I’ve read during the second half of the year (which I think you def cannot miss!!! )

so here we go...

- Sebastian and the Angel by Anonymous (Explicit)

This is a fic with an outstanding plot, an explicit and very detailed narrative that makes you feel like you’re whitnessing the story and all very ingenious characters. The emotional inteligence of the author is definitely something else.

- Every time I think the feelings fading I miss you (I miss you) by TheWiseOne12 (PG)

or a very sweet story about love, heartbreaking and refinding love even when everything is against you. It had me intrigued during all nineteen chapters and the strong point is definitely the hurt/comfort it offers, with a lot of angst but fluff on the same mesure.

- we can live in a world that we design by freed0m98 (T)

I have a soft spot on Carlos/Lando/Charles fic but this one is unexpectedly Carlos centered! I’ve never read one like this and the author definitely nailed it, the building is great (better than my own ficI’ll admit) and the ending is as sweet and you can expect it to be.

-Latibule by VettelMyPretzel (AndroidHeaven) (Explicit)

I’m obssessed with this fic!!! It’s basically Sebchal falling in love in the 20th century and again, the building and the sexual tension is otherworldly. One of my favorites of the 2022.

- I like you.. by formulacherry (T)

Or piarles confessing each other and it’s so godamn goals! they talk their past, their present and their future and the fic has an even bigger meaning if you read the fic before in the saga (a saga I highly recomend as well, but this work is my favorite of them) so go check it out.

- some of the best moments in life are the ones you can never talk about by Quagswagging (Explicit)

Or one of the hottest fics I got to read this year, and a very captivating sexting moment I have in my mind even after days of having read it. Definitely a sebchal ft Lewis jewel.

- e forse il mare è dentro di lui by DuquesaDeMiel (T)

One of the most well thought plots I got to read, where Pierre is a scientist and Charles is a lifeguard and the sea is.... well, the sea conects them and It’s all I can say without spoiling because I really want people to read this. It’s wonderful.

- First Love/Late Spring by blackest_eyes (Explicit)

Or my favorite Piarles fic of the 2022. It’s sweet, sexy, sad, and all the good S in there ;) (sorry for the bad pun). I love the nostalgia and how you can reflect on the characters’ feelings, fears and decisions. An emotional story with a hopeful ending that will leave you smiling for days.

- we do not perish. by Laeana (T)

Or the fic where Pierre and Charles live and die again and again untill they get their happy ending. There’s a lot to outstand in this fic; the originality of the idea, the narration, how it comes and goes in time, how sentimental it gets... It’s beautiful not just the plot but the whole aesthetic you get from it.

- it's better than regretting by FunkyinFishnet (M)

Or Lando and Charles get drunk and married in Vegas. Charles panics about it but everyone reassures him so he doesn’t fuck it up. Everyone in this fic has a role, and no detail is left hanging. I love that it shows the path of someone realizing that even when things look bad, there’s always something good in it and you have to make the most of it. My favorite Charlando fic so far.

This is it! Of course that if you’ve read these already and you’re looking for something new, you can go and check my stuff :)

Happy Holidays, Julie.

quick plug: i wrote a lil phillies fic (trea/bryson) for @timebegins-onopeningday! i think it's my first time pioneering a ship tag on ao3 LMAO give it a read if you feel so inclined

[msmargaretmurry]

something i'm curious about, apart from hrpf have you ever read any published hockey romance books? i was looking through some lists on goodreads and there's more than i expected both mlm and hetero (didn't seem to find any wlw hockey romances)

i have read exactly one published hockey romance (mlm) and i absolutely hated it. one of the least enjoyable reading experiences i have ever had. it has over 4 stars on goodreads and that haunts me every day because i hated it so much.

now i know that one book is not a good sample size for the overall subgenre, but it has made me wary of diving in further 😂 i have some recs i might try eventually for mlm hockey romances both from hrpf friends whom i trust to have higher standards for hockey content, and from a coworker who loves romance novels and found out that i love hockey and was like, oh there's this gay hockey romance novel series that i love— (me smiling and nodding along like i don't log onto al gore's internet every day to read about real hockey players fucking raw)

the thing is, i'm not an avid romance reader. i like romance but i don't love romance, you know? i love a love story, but there are things that are inherent to or popular in the romance novel genre that i generally find tolerable at best. and i'm so aware this is a me problem and not a genre problem, but it does mean that i'm not quite the target audience for hockey romance novels anyway.

HOWEVER. my big hangups when it comes to published hockey romances (and sports romances in general) are

and b) if it's really obvious that the characters are just hrpf characters with their names changed, i cannot read it. i would rather just read the fic. writing fanfic and writing original fiction are two separate skills — that, yes, overlap in may places, but making the switch is way harder to do well than people anticipate, i think. if you just file the serial numbers off a hrpf fic, it is going to be so obvious and distracting to me and probably fall flat in the characterization department.

a) lack of knowledge and accuracy about the sport itself. obviously we all make stuff up and bend reality a bit for our horny fanfictions, but i have more patience for that stuff when you're posting stories for free on the internet, and also to be honest i've read so many inpeccably researched fics, published authors have no excuse. i feel like a lot of romance readers pick up a hockey romance for the romance and don't really care about the setting so much, but if i'm picking up a hockey romance it's because i'm a casual romance enjoyer who loves hockey, so if they hockey aspects of the book aren't strong or are blatantly wrong it's gonna get on my nerves so much. i don't need 100% accuracy, but i do need it to feel like the author understands the game and has a basic understanding of how hockey teams and leagues work

all of that being said, i would happily accept recommendations, for straight or gay hockey romance novels! i hope there are some really good ones out there!
