寻觅你最明媚的四月天

US Men's National Team: Hockey! Tomorrow! I don't even care who I get autographs from, but I'll be there for my bag of swag. And possibly to launch myself at David Backes. I mean, there are a ton of players I care about at this thing, but there's just something about David Backes and his perfection and his plaid suits... Hold me back.

So, so excited for hockey to get back into swing. The summer's killing me, although I've had Teen Wolf and Free! to distract me somewhat - and in good ways, mostly, since Free!'s actually got me writing again, which I'd given up as a lost cause. Hallelujah!

Going through my Google Docs makes me laugh/cringe though at how much unfinished/abandoned hockey fic I have lying around. Oh stepmom/French tutor Claude and various college AUs and that frat boy thing, alas, alas. Maybe I'll post bits and pieces as part of a WIP amnesty thing.

At the moment, I am writing cracky pretend-dating fic in Free! and having stupid amounts of fun with it. That's what I missed about writing, really.

Also, NSYNC. OMG. This was a disappointing "reunion", ngl, of Justin Timberlake and friends, but it has set me into a spiral of listening to old NSync songs, which are catchy as hell. Time to venture back into BSB, though, before 12-year-old me dies of despair and judgment.

1. KEVIN RICHARDSON TO REUNITE WITH BACKSTREET BOYS??? My inner twelve-year-old is all aflutter. KTBSPA.

2. My girls. Soshiiii. Thanks to lb_x for bringing this to my attention because I have no idea what's going on with kpop anymore. Look, Soshi apparently has a subgroup!



I did not expect that style given the bubblegum title, but I really like it. It's so catchy, god. And of course TTS are blowing the vocals away. Look how pretty! Look how huge their MV budget is, lolol.

Who are those EXO boys? DON'T KNOW, DON'T CARE. TAEYEON.

3. AHAHA ACCIDENTALLY STUMBLED ACROSS THE PERFECT THEME SONG TO MY RIDICULOUS FRAT WEREWOLF PRETEND BOYFRIENDS AU COMMENTFIC: Neon Trees - Animal.

Here we go again / I kinda wanna be more than friends
So take it easy on me / I'm afraid you're never satisfied
Here we go again / We're sick like animals, we play pretend

and

And I won't be denied by you / the animal inside of you

And other parts are also fitting for bits I haven't written yet. \o/ I'M A BIRD.

So sometimes things happen in chat, by which I mean...every time I chat with either swingingstars or forochel, our brains go off in ridiculous directions and we end up chatficcing at each other.

Two sort of stories, cleaned up a little from chat to be readable...ish. I think.

( The most romantic love story of Andrew Ladd & Ryan Kesler, starring artistic photographer Kevin Bieksa. )

Or then things like this will happen:

i was honestly expecting a Kaner pic
THEREFORE
THERE NEEDS TO BE FIC
WHERE KANER TURNS INTO A KITTEN
AND IS SO ADORABLE TAZER IS TERRIFIED

( A tiny kitten, because Kaner is...wait for it...tiny(?). )

Yeah, apparently I cannot write except when it’s in chat or comment boxes. I wrote some werewolf!Tazer and Stiles!Kaner yesterday! And some other stuff, like Gundam Wing AU Kaner/Tazer and frat AU and a tribute to Jeff Skinner’s thighs.

Maybe one day I’ll produce real fic! Until then I will just keep nudging other people into it. :D

So there's this dude, right? Eric Staal, captain of my Canes, captain of my heart, etc.



( Every time I see him, he makes me feel like this: )

The entirety of hockey just screams GIANT FRATHOUSE to me. ( Here are some other fratty inspirations. )

This is the greatest video in the world.

My favorite part is how Tazer's says, dead seriously the way he does, "It's a nice shirt, it looks good on him," and everyone else is like, "No, god, that's a terrible shirt."

TAZER, YOU HAVE NO TASTE. THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH.

Kaner, for example. I mean, seriously, Tazer is the Most Judgmental. Here he is judging New Yorkers for eating hot dogs (and then running away from pigeons), and when asked if he has any NHL superstitions, he's all, hell no, because they're STUPID. Kaner is like this glaring exception of terrible life choices that Tazer seems unable to see properly. Or maybe he does see all of Kaner's failings, mocks him for them, but is stupidly in love with him anyway because he has no taste.

Tazer, do you judge yourself a little bit? I figure he totally does but he can't help it anyway.

Sharpy's "oh my god" is also pretty glorious as is Soupy being totally dazed with horror. Ugh, I'm sad I got into the Hawks after he left - from all the interviews (especially with Joey the Junior Reporter), he seems like a really great guy and hilarious too.

Whatever. Haters gonna hate but Kaner's gonna just keep shufflin'.

( Other thoughts I have on Mr. Toes and Kaner. )

And then I had another conversation with forochel where I observed that Tazer calls everyone "buddy" all the time and she speculated that he made a special effort to call Kaner "buddy" because otherwise he'd slip up and call him "babe".

( And that spawned a game of drunken gay chicken. Naturally. )

We all dream of the day where we can write actual fic instead of just spinning gleeful scenarios in comments and chat.

BUT YAY UNC WIN, YAY DUKE LOSS, YAY HAWKS WIN. It's been a good sports day. ♥
