Oh, sorry, I'm a na. It's something like 2 am.

No, it's never tasted like soap to me? But I'm part one of the ethnic populations that eats cilantro all the time. It just smells like soap. Eating it is just kinda crisp.

** pinches bridge of nose **

Let's just focus on the times you want him to shut up. We're in agreement during those times. God, nonnie.

ayrt

It's not strongly of soap. But there's definitely a slightly soapy element.

YOU'RE TEARING THIS FAMILY APART, NONNIE

(but not really, I too find him kind of endearing while also wanting him to shut up a lot of the time, they're not mutually exclusive feelings for me. In my perfect world he would still have a prominent job in the hockey world, it would just be one that didn't involve interviewing real live human beings.)

Wow, did I not expect this to turn into wank, but it did. The fandom is currently having issues where a small subset of fans are ship warring Lams vs. Whamilton by calling the Whamilton shippers members of the Klan, pedos, and saying they should be shot. FFA's been tracking it pretty closely. Like, regardless of the historicity of the show, casting politics, or differences in characterization interpretation, I don't really want to engage with that kind of bullshit.

Not going to lie, I really didn't expect to see Hamilton wank on deke when I got back from work. I wouldn't mind if meme wanted to talk more about Hamilton or Star Wars or anything else (maybe an 'not hockey' thread?) because I love the Hamilton soundtrack (and a lot of the fics) but yeah, really wasn't expecting to see the same wank from the fandom here.

TBH since the Pens got into the finals I've been rereading all the old S/G fic I first read in 2012, when I was getting into the fandom. Lots of tropes, concussion angst, lockout angst, Sid's dad is an ass angst, etc but it's just nice to reread old faves and get nostalgic lol. The old thehoyden/oflights/HK/etc days. It's been fun.

As the OP of the relaxed pregnant Phil Kessel prompt, I also really want a fill of it :D

Pls link to that post, I wanna read the fic even if I don't understand anything about baseball lol.

I did go through a stage of reading baseball fic a looong, looooooooong time ago, like it feels like ten years ago. Does anyone remember a super long Andy Pettite/Roger Clemens fic (this is a clue that it was a long, long time ago lol)? Where someone got hit in the head and had a coma? And maybe someone cheated on someone else? I remember really liking it even if I had no idea who these people where and what was happening.

Animals in a triangle, holding a stick! lol.

The Sharks should win because it will inspire more teams to have teal jerseys.

Or Penguins will win because it will inspire more teams with boring/ugly jerseys to improve?

That was the inspiration for the prompt, yes :)

Who could Matthews potentially be shipped with on the Leafs? Marner?

na

I really did not expect to wake up to 100 comments of Hamilton wank, but knowing how deke works, a "not hockey" fandom thread seems like inviting that to happen more often.

(This thread has also reinforced my total lack of desire to ever know anything about either the canon or the fandom.)

Good work nonny! Wasn't Scott called up by Pens around the time they announced Olli need thyroid surgery for his tumor and never actually dressed, leading to speculation that Pens had partly called him up for support?

As someone who follows multiple sports and sports rpf fandoms (like 8 or 9 different ones), I'd love for baseball and some of the other sports rpf fandoms outside of the "big" ones (eg, hockey, football, tennis) to take off and become more active.

I really wish there was some sort of sports rpf fanwork exchange (maybe something like the sports equivalent of spaceswap, which would allow sports rpf/sports-related canons/crossover sports ships), but I don't think one exists.

Is football rpf still big or do I just pretend it isn't because my OTP doesn't have much of a fic presence anymore, and that's why I tend to ignore football rpf nowadays?

It's still big on AO3 (quality is terrible though; lots of reader insert fics and English doesn't seem the first language of the majority of writers).

I think on the whole football fandom on tumblr is way bigger than hockey, but the rpf side is smaller than hockey rpf purely in terms of fic/shipping fandom. It seems to me that most hockey fans on tumblr tend to be rpf fans as well, which isn't necessarily the case with football tumblr fans.

Yes!! He was called up and sent down three times without playing his first NHL game, including a call-up right before Olli's thyroid surgery. Later in the year he was in Pittsburgh when Olli had the mumps, and he was also called up right after Olli's shoulder surgery (what a year for poor Olli.)

Everything he's been through, I was shocked to see that even with the (ex)WBS kids on the team, Olli is still the youngest Pen.

Also, I was just looking for something else & found an article on Pens official site from 2012 about Olli and Scott, titled (seriously) A Special Bond http://penguins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=643698

ayrt

There you go:

I don't understand anything about baseball either (like, I don't know the rules... I still don't), but I still enjoyed these (or the ones I read anyway).

Kadri? Nylander? IDK, but definitely title the fic 'depth at center.'

I mean, if I want to talk about other fandoms (Hamilton included), I do that at FFA, and if I want to talk about baseball, I do that on FFA generally and about my team on tumblr, since there's someone on FFA who's an asshole about my team in particular. I do think a 'crossover rpf' thread would be interesting, give that more than one anon wants Crosby/Rodgers and I've been thinking about doing a sin bin fill that's also a crossover.

+1 Someone was venting that Hamilton fandom was exhausting, and while another anon was trying to explain that it's not exhausting it turned... into a pretty exhausting wank ugh. Makes me very happy I am nowhere near the Hamilton fandom.
