Riiight. Because when you marry someone, you're going to be adjacent to their kid. Not involved in their daily life or anything.

Oh MAN. You actually just made me think of something else that should have pinged when I read the first fic but didn't. I was so caught up in hating how horrible she made Claude that I didn't even think about how much it does not jibe with his entire interaction with the Briere family. It's not fanon to say that Claude loves the Briere irl and irl he probably wasn't in love with Danny. So we have a person with the capacity to love his friend's kids like family and she's written him as actively being gross and neglectful towards his own kid because he's in love with Sid. But he really wants to raise Sid's adoptive kid because they're together? I get more angry at downjune the more I think about how badly she's dealt with Claude.

*the Briere kids

I'm loling.

He's marrying Sid, and presumably they will share a house, but Claude will remain so very adjacent to Sidney Crosby's Enlightened adoptive son.

Ah yes. I can just imagine it.

Kid: So Claude. Let's discuss the grossness of the incident where you laid hands on another person without their permission.

Claude: Be quiet. Can't you see I'm adjacent to you?

Kid: Okay. *turns to Sid* Dad, why have you never spoken out against the homophobia, sexism and racism in the NHL despite being apparently Determined to teach me to stand against these things that are so endemic in Junior?

Sid: new phone, who dis?

Claude: *is adjacent*

I'm wheezing. /thinks this is still a better fic than downjune's

We mentioned the stupidity of the idea that Sidney Crosby is somehow better than his fellow jocks on Issues when he has never been so in reality, but no one has mentioned downjune having him say that he wants adoptive kids because any biological kids will....what, exactly? Get more attention for having his DNA?

It seems like that's what downjune is saying, considering that Sid proceeds as if the adoptive kid will definitely play hockey. Which was followed by my personal favorite line - Sid would be happy to have a female child since there's now a paying women's league. A women's league where salaries are a pittance and many players can't live off them. Awesome.

*probably* play hockey

just finished both parts. now i'm thinking back to the anons who said downjune balanced out the unbearable twitcew sid/claude fic. this series is way worse than anything twitcrew came up with imo. no wrists, sure. but was it really worth it?

That actually struck me as one of the more reasonable fears to have - kids and siblings of famous players absolutely do receive more scrutiny and get labeled as 'disappointments' for not living up to the incredibly high standards set by their family members.

Amazing.

fic of the year

ayrt

Yeah, I was seriously side-eyeing that. It all just seems so utterly dismissive of Claude's existing kid and his responsibility to her. No one is obligated to want or have kids, but if you do have them, you need to treat them right, regardless of your own feelings about parenthood. You don't get to just disclaim that because you don't love their other parent.

da

Tbh I never understood why she even felt the need to include Claude's potential future kid, then have him be a terrible dad to her because he's not in love with the mom (who's also named after his irl gf, which doesn't sit exactly right with me either) in the first place.
