Sometimes I just think about how insanely different the lives of all the 2015 draft class players are now and it makes me feel ridiculous. Like, Mitch is a hometown kid on the leafs and they either love him or hate him at all times, he’s doing good personally, is getting married, but professionally he’s in so much limbo. Connor is the most talented player in the world according to most people but he cannot win and the weight of the world is on his shoulders and he’s in a big black and white house in Edmonton. Jack was pretty much held hostage by the team that never wanted him, his bodily autonomy completely denied, and then he finally gets traded to the nhl villain team and he beats the guy who was always better than him. And Dylan isn’t exceptional as a player, he’s decent on an aging team full of dads and he has a wife and a daughter and another on the way and he just seems happy. I wonder if they ever think about each other.

I KNOW RIGHT like each of their stories has just gotten so much More interesting over the course of the past ... coming up on eight years now. Hockey is a fantastic soap opera, you know? The story just keeps on going.

And the crazy part is we're not even halfway through. A hockey player with a shelf life -- Mitch and Connor both seem pretty durable, and Jack seems a lot healthier now after his neck trouble has been resolved -- can last fifteen, twenty years if they're lucky. Who knows where the story will go from here? Dylan's contract extends further into the future than any other Capital -- he'll be a UFA in the summer of 2028, which ironically gives him more job security than any of the other three in the class. Good, for a boy who just wanted to be wanted somewhere. I wonder what the Capitals will look like after Ovi's done. (Assuming Ovi ever retires, although I have a sneaking suspicion he and Sid will go out in the same summer. They have always been entwined, after all.)

I desperately want to know if we'll see any of them on any other teams, too! Hockey is unlike a lot of other sports in that its biggest and brightest superstars tend to stay as put as possible: of what I consider to be the six "generational talents," (Howe, Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby, Ovechkin, McDavid)(IF U HAVE OPINIONS ON THIS SEND THEM TO MEEEEE), only one of them so far has played for more than one NHL team (Howe era Whalers don't count!!!). Mitch isn't generational by any means, but he's far and away enough of a superstar to go just about anywhere he wants, which for my own feeble sanity I beg means #leafsforever. I just hope if they go anywhere else then they keep to the colour scheme! Dylan's three teams have all been red and Jack's have both been yellow/gold. If Connor McDavid becomes a Dallas Star it'll mess with the damn symbolism (plus his TA of mathematics ass could never match the vibe that silly little group of rapscallions has).

And... the eternal question: the Cup. Eichs is obviously still in the hunt right now, but i do dearly want to know who of the four of them wins it and when. Fun fact: both Dylan's and Jack's only playoff appearances to date have involved eliminating Connor. Mitch actually made the playoffs first out of all four of them, but by one measly game Connor has more wins.

In summary: Urgrghghuhuhsgdhkgjhfdghhfgkdjfhjkd the lore... the drama... etc etc

#saw someone ask a blog i follow 'whats the deal with the class of 2015'. COME OVER HERE I WILL GIVE YOU THE *NOVEL*#asks #i do find it achingly sweet how dylan seems to be the Okayest out of all of them. like he has settled into an agreement with the Universe.#the universe said. your team will kinda suck but you will be centring a great player.#and he said. okay that's cool im a nerd #and the universe said. and you will have two daughters #and he said. slay!#dylan strome #connor mcdavid #jack eichel #mitch marner #narrativeposting

ugh colours are HARD

if/when we get this flat. I will need to repaint the bedroom bc it currently looks like this

but I don't know WHAT COLOUR.

I'm leaning towards like. blue with a patterned accent wall. I like reds/pinks/burgundys, I like a light sage green with a darker green accent, I like sunny yellows, but the only one of those that's remotely Me is burgundy colourways and that's a lot more intense than I think suits my bedroom vibe.

but blue is a tricky one because blue walls to me so easily end up feeling super institutional. and as a Guy Who Has Genuine Insanity Problems With Hospital Environments I need to be careful about colourways that activate my fight or flight.

I also like. it's my bedroom. I want it to feel comfortable, so I can't go too cold, and I also don't want to go so muted it looks like a grey minimalist thing.

it's south facing and has this great big window so I feel like I can get away with darker/stronger colours, which could move blues away from that Calming Down The Patients institutional feel. I could go for doing everything quite a dark blue - that's scary though, the only room I've ever had agency to paint was a north-facing 2x2.5m cupboard of a bedroom so I haven't ever dipped a toe in the water of non-pastels.

I have this vision of making a stamp of one of these patterns I designed during my MA and using it to add detail to the feature wall (the one that's currently done with comics covers).

I'm visualising doing the whole room in one blue and stamping out the pattern on top in a darker, higher-sat blue (maybe with a slightly different finish) but idk how feasible that is or whether I need to choose between that and a dark blue overall.

idk interior design is not my forte I don't know how to choose colours or designs, if you do can you help meeeee?

#red said #the goal is to make it feel interesting cosy and personal to me #but also to not add so much interest to the walls that it makes pictures feel like clutter

got a secret (i can't keep it!)

ffxivwrite2023 #14: clear leaving no doubt; obvious or unambiguous.

Coco & @winduphaurchefant's Reese. Canon-divergent Endwalker, between Alea Iacta Est and In From the Cold. 1087wc. ⮞ There are better places to give your friend a crisis than the ground, you know.

Coco was sitting behind the designated medbay and staring out onto the frozen wastes of Garlemald when a steaming metal mug of hot cocoa suddenly entered his vision, attached to the hand of a worried Reese Farouel.

"You should go inside," his old friend said gently when he looked up at her, but she made no move to force him to stand or to force the mug in his hands. Coco took it anyway, unable to turn down a Haurchefant-signature cocoa, but as he blinked down at the swirling marshmallows in the cup he found his vision swimming and Reese dropped to her knees beside him. "Hey, it's okay, buddy, she's okay."

With a whimper, Coco pawed away the tears running down his face. The last couple of bells had been the scariest of his life, which was bizarre considering how many times he personally came close to dying over the last nine years, but in the building behind him his best friend was trapped in a dreamless sleep. This was nothing at all like their childhood, back when the worst that could happen was she'd run and trip on gravel and they'd stick colourful little bandages on each other and he'd tell her a joke while his uncle disinfected her scrapes so she wouldn't cry. Now she was wrapped in red-stained gauze because when the imperials ambushed the camp she threw herself over him, his Blessing of Light be damned, for reasons he couldn't even ask her about anymore.

All he knew was that it was his fault for encouraging her to come this far and leave the home and life he left behind despite knowing that was where she was safest, and he could do nothing as she lay terrifyingly still on a cot in the medbay while the healers bustled back and forth between the rest of the injured.

Reese continued to murmur words of comfort to him, as ever the older sister he and Melmeltan always wanted growing up. When at last Coco's body stopped shaking he took a tentative sip from the hot cocoa and a deep, rattling breath.

"S'rry," he muttered.

"Why are you apologizing?" Reese asked incredulously. "The love of your life nearly died saving your life and she's unconscious now with no estimate on when she'll wake up—you have every right to be upset! I know I was when Haurchefant did that very same thing!"

Hold on. "The—the what?"

Reese squeaked and immediately rose to her feet, limbs mechanically moving to walk away at maximum speed.

"Nooooo, tell meeeee," Coco wailed, grabbing at her sleeve. He was nowhere near as strong as Lunya was but in the moment he somehow managed to stop Reese and her gangly legs.

Unable to meet his eyes, Reese pulled at her hair and began to speak very fast. "Okay, well, this is more embarrassing for me than it is for you because I really thought you knew. I mean, everyone else does, and it's so obvious, like, I think even Babycorn has some idea of it even if she couldn't name what it is and you've seen what poor Butter's been through lately, so you can't really get mad at me for spilling the beans, even though you don't really have much of a capacity for anger to begin with and like, why would you get mad anyway? Over me telling you that you're in love with your best friend and have been since you were kids? As if I'm wrong. I should probably shut up right now. Have you seen Haurchefant? I should go find Haurchefant. Do you mind if I leave now or—"

Coco shook his head, furiously blinking snow from his eyelashes. His heart was threatening to collapse or burst out of his chest like a pitcher of juice personified. "You think I'm in love with Melmeltan?"

As if a switch were flipped, Reese reached down and grabbed Coco by the shoulders.

"Coco Cocoda," she said severely. "I can't tell you what you feel or how to feel it—but as a long-time observer, I just want you to know this: I know you're in love with Melmeltan."

"H-how could you even—" he stammered, drink forgotten in the snow next to him as he flapped his hands panickedly. "Where did you even get that idea—"

"You wanted to marry her! In all of your silly little live action scenarios where you were feral cats separated into clans in the Sharlayan woods!"

"T-that was roleplay!"

"That was wish fulfillment!" Reese cried, covering her mouth when several Contingent member heads swiveled around to look in their direction. "A-and you even stole from Lunya's bath bomb collection so you'd smell nice the day Melmeltan was set to come to Eorzea!"

"That's normal though!?" Coco said desperately. "That's normal! That's a normal thing for friends to do! They smell nice for each other!"

"No, it's not! And when you told Lunya you were meeting with Melmeltan she stopped being angry and did that weird three thing with her mouth! That says everything!"

"Nuh-uh?!"

This was admittingly the weirdest imaginable place and time to be having such a conversation in this manner, but Reese and Coco were on a roll and unable to stop.

"And!" Reese exclaimed, gesturing frantically, "and!!! There was that 10 year old who confessed to her after they did one chocobo race together! You got so jealous over it you had to be stopped from stealing the kid's bird!" Oh, yeah, that did happen. Huh. "Who gets platonically jealous over a love confession?! And a love confession from someone who's not even a real threat on account of being a literal child?! You are in LOVE!"

If Coco were standing he would have sunk to his knees.

"I'm in love with Melmeltan?" he wondered, shellshocked.

It was at that moment a familiar head of silver-blue hair peeked his head around the back corner of the medbay, eyes lighting up at the sight of his beloved.

"My dear!" Haurchefant exclaimed, reaching for Reese's hand as he approached before he became visibly confused at the sight of Coco Cocoda folded over in the snow. "Is aught alright? You never came back to the tent after you said you would check on Coco…"

"Haurchefant!" Reese blushed, letting him squeeze her hand in his own. "Forgive me, I got caught up by accidentally telling Coco he's in love with Melmeltan, and—"

The Fortemps knight gaped down at their friend. "You didn't know?!"

"DOES EVERYONE KNOW THIS?!"

IF I HAD TO SEE IT SO DO YOU, SO DO YOU LILE BE SO REAL.

And okay hello i would have fucking DIED, mans wanted to FUCK, you lived the DREAM. Brb while i run to my computer like a sewer rat and write a wren x felix FRIWNDS TO LOVERS TROPE 😭😭😭

And you know what i look like and im gonna be so SO SOS OS SO REAL, 99% of my skz friend group tells me (mich to my genuine shock) im chans type🥹 and it makes me wanna 🤢 IN THE MOST LOVING WAY, THEE MOST LOVING WAY BC IM DELULU ENOIGH DONT TWLL ME HED BE DOWN FOR ME BC ILL💀

And aww, angel, rhats so precious🥹🥺 my little angel baby

OH YOU WANT TO PLAY THAT GAME, I WILL REMEMBER THAT. I WILL COME INTO YOUR INBOX AND WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR MORTAL SOUL.

I think I died, actually I think I died, came back to life with a pinch of a delulu then died again because I thought my skz luck would like die, dead gone. But I managed to get a Hyunjin fanmeet and he said he recognised me from either another fanmeet or at a concert like he deadass was like yeah you I know you.

Did the same Felix trick, age, you're attractive, but then he hit me with a zinger. He was talking about eye colours, and I was like "Yeah you don't like my eyes huh?" I was being dumb I didn't care I was being cocky and he said "I like your eyes because they're brown and pretty like Kkami and I love Kkami's eyes." ............... STILL NOW HUH WHAT WHO HOW WHAT? Then before the thing ended he asked if I was in Korea, which no I was in Australia because I am broke and never leave. And he said "Aww, I could have let you inside" and he said bye like it didn't happen.

I feel so up delulu creek because. I mean. I guess now I can't stop stanning you.

Also I was actually confused how Kkami is a good line to use on anybody. So that is my dead moment and I am still dead, I am ghostwriting everything rn. I gave up on life.

I pretend neither happened because I am in denial because I don't need to be murdered by them. If you wanna write something better make it a love triangle fr. kkssksks.

I get that just 🤢 just really 🤢 But let me add onto it, I am good at reading people so yeah Chan would be down the baddest for you buddy. And yesssss that's meeeee, a little precious angel baby at your service 😇

We're all gossip-y bitches sometimes

this is part two

Janus xey/xem

Roman she/he

Patton he/him

Virgil he/him

See the character intros for more info

TW. Swearing, arguments, alcohol, drunk characters, the word v//mit is used once, characters being characters, past trauma mentioned, tiny tiny tiny sprinkle of angst but just a passing of it at end, and nothing to intense

Again, tell me if I'm being insensitive. Shout at me if I am.

Summary: Patton goes to talk to Janus about Roman. The group opens...'some' bottles. Virgil adds on some...interesting opinions.

Events occur few hours after this.

Janus just finished xeir nightly shift when Patton came bounding up to xem. Janus raised an eyebrow at how ecstatic he looked.

"Yes?" Xey managed out, forcing back the hundreds of snarky comments xey could of said right then.

"Can you hang out at My house later?" Patton practically beamed out.

"why would I want to 'hang out'? It's just a social construct created to give people a higher sense of being." Janus remarked, flipping to closed/open side to closed.

"So you'll be there?"

"hmm. Will doom-and-gloom be there?

"doom and---ohhh, Virge. Yeah, probably," Patton realised now that this was a bad mix of people to invite "probably-probably not for long though!"

"Fine" Janus replied, taking off xeir apron. Xey ignored the obvious lie. "I'll be there in an hour." Xey knew one way or another xey would end up there due to Patton's... effective persuading.

"Great!" Patton exclaimed "oh yeah, and...um...it's raining outside so..take my umbrella, kay?"

His tone more serious all of a sudden, Patton nodded to Janus' heavily made up face, so well done an ignorant bystander wouldn't of noticed the thick layers of foundation on xeir face.

Patton handed xem a translucent umbrella, patterned with cute frogs and flowers, to Janus. Ignoring the distasteful cartoons, Janus nodded and took the umbrella.

"See you soon, Jan!" Patton cheerily waved as he bounced off.

Janus folded xeir apron, opened Patton's umbrella and braved the outdoors.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Janus arrived at Patton's house exactly on time, bone dry, despite the heavily flowing rain. Patton expected nothing less of his friend. He invited xem inside, amazed as always by his friend's everyday fashion.

Jan was wearing a casual yellow shirt over a long sleeved black shirt. Fishnet gloves adorned xeir hands, and xeir ruffled hair was let lose.

Xeir fashionably messy hair was topped with a neatly placed black fedora, which of xey never took off. Xey even scarred persuaded Thomas to let xem wear it to work.

Patton offered xem a smile, and walked xem upstairs. "Hi Jan!" He grinned.

"Hello" xey replied mundanely.

Xey absent-mindedly glanced at Patton's outfit, which contained a violet cashmere sweater, bell bottomed jeans, circular silver glasses and a sunflower clip in his perfect curls.

It was a good look, xey had to admit.

When they both reached Patton's room, Janus stood still, taking in xeir surroundings.

Patton's room was covered with things from the 2000's; Tamagotchi's, stickers pressed up against the pastel wall, stuffed animals, wristbands, old CD's, care bears posters and butterfly clips littering the floor in a deadly trap.

A trans flag was pinned above the single bed with blue tack, right next to some inspirational and motivational quotes.

The whole place looked like it had been puked on by unicorns.

It hurt Janus' eyes.

Xey was a little overwhelmed by all the spiraling colours and nostalgia-inducing objects, so xey sat cross-legged in the middle of the pink carpet. The world slowed down.

Janus wondered, not for the first time, how a 29 year old could be this cheerful.

Or appear this cheerful.

"Jan?"

Janus gave a small twitch of xeir head, realising that xey had spaced out. "Hmm?" Xey replied.

"Hey, you were up with the clouds! I was just saying, I think Virge is here" Patton chirped.

"oh"

"he...might be staying for a little longer then i said"

"How wonderful." Janus muttered, knowing this would happen but hating it anyway.

"oh, don't be like that! I'm sure you guys could become friends!" Janus snorted. "Or...at least not kill at each other whenever you're in the same general area" Patton corrected.

"Anyway! I'm going to greet him at the door!" He suddenly proclaimed, skipping downstairs.

Janus was disgusted at how naïve this man was.

But that was a lie.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Patton slowed his happy skip to a casual walk. His grin slipped into a content smile as he reached the end of the stairs. Being so happy takes its toll on people, he thought. Soft tapping of the door interrupted his thoughts as he opened the door to reveal Virgil.

The first thing you notice about this man was his unfair tall-ness. He nearly had to duck to get inside; being too skinny didn't help. Virgil was wearing a plain black hoodie over a mcr top, completing the look with a short, pleated skirt and docs. His face was slathered in white foundation, accompanied with dark eyeshadow under his eyes.

"Virge!! I'm glad you could make it, even if you are late!!Again!" Patton hugged his friend, genuinely glad for his presence. The taller man patted Patton's curls awkwardly.

"Heyyyy Pat-" Virgil did the awkward pats on the back everyone does when they want to get out of a hug but don't want to say it in fear of hurting ones feelings. "Traffic-"

Patton withdrew from the hug and smiled. "okay! at least you're here safe! Can't control the traffic"

"Janus is waiting for us upstairs" Patton continued. He hurriedly carried on speaking before Virgil could spit out an insult about xem "say, you know what I hate about stairs? They're always up to something!" Patton laughed at his own joke, whilst Virgil pretended to face-palm, hiding a snigger.

"Alright, Alright dAd, didn't you say snake face was waiting for us?" Virgil mocked. Patton chuckled uncomfortably at the nickname, but nodded nonetheless.

"Yeah, we shouldn't leave xem waiting"

They both entered his room, having walked the short journey there in a comfortable silence. Patton noted Janus had not moved from were he left xem; xey had just shifted to read a book xey most likely found lying around. Janus looked up upon their arrival, xeir face immediately twisting into a mocking grimace upon seeing Virgil. "ah, you brought the racoon"

"Janus play nice--"

"you're one to talk, you participated in 2012 Tumblr" Virgil threw back

"must you be so wounding" Janus dramatically threw xeir hand against xeir forehead.

"okAY, that's enough guys." Patton firmly said. Janus pulled a face in reply, and Virgil returned the favour. Patton sighed. He just wanted them to get along, which was probably a high expectation by itself.

Perhaps he had booze leftover somewhere.

--------------------------------

Twelve near fist fights, two crying sessions and many, many, many bottles of alcohol later, it was nearing eleven pm and the group was drunker than a litter of catnip high kittens.

They all crowded into a close-knit circle on the bed, nearly falling off but not caring.

"ssso your telling me that flashy asss hhimbo sssssaid I wasss hot but then rude and that I wore too muchh makeup? What a *hic* bitchh" Janus hissed.

Patton giggled. "yeeeeee, be nice though! She was kindaaaa alllllllll over the place!" Patton continued bluntly, "But how would you feel if I set you guys up????~"

"oh pleassssse do, I would just love that" Janus may be trashed but xey still knew sarcasm. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending who you are, Patton did not.

"yayyy! This is gonna be great!!"

Virgil butted in then, waving around the bottle he was holding "hold on, just holllld on a minute there, you're planning to set up that" he vaugly gestured in Janus' direction "with Princy??? Xey've known her for what, 4 minutes? Life isn't a disney movie"

"Dare I detect a hint of jealousy there emo?" Janus purred "am I that lovable?" Xey hiccuped.

"ooooooooh" Patton leaned into the circle, loving the drunk drama.

"wouldn't you like to know weather boy" Virgil droned back, finishing off the bottle.

"Honey, I would dare ssay that was a yesss"

"nO"

"oooooo, you liiiiike meeeEe"

"you disgust me"

"kinky"

Patton shook his hands excitingly at them, nearly hitting Virgil, causing them to shut up. "I can't believe you're finally open to a relationship after what happened! With my best friend no least! Boy did I try to get you to go on more dat--" Patton suddenly clasped his hands over his mouth as if he just said something nasty.

Everyone went silent. Janus stared at Patron, xeir mouth slightly parted. Virgil laughed nervously to try and break the tension. It sounded strained.

Janus began to speak to stop Patton from starting to spout drunken apologies. "Well thatssss jusst a liee, I've dated pleeenty of people over..well...that...period..of time."

Everyone went silent again, not quite sure on what to say.

Virgil's anxiety was heightening due to the social awkwardness and the influence of the alcohol.

Patton was fidgeting in his lap.

It was Janus yet again who broke the uncomfortable atmosphere.

"Sssso, *hic* you ssaid you wanted me to go out with thisss idiot?"

My Top Posts in 2021

You know, a lot of other fandoms I know would have just demonized Vicky, or claimed she was "getting in the way" of Ches and Glam being together, or just plain decided she wasn't right for Glam because he has more in common with Ches.

I love--with all my heart--the fact that we instead looked at the three of them and went "Aw, look, they're all married to each other :D "

I think what really sets Ghosts apart is how the Idiots (sorry, but they started it lol) really turn these characters into people.

All of their prior projects--even Bill!--you really just feel like they're playing Characters. They do it all so wonderfully, don't get me wrong, but all of the roles are Wacky in some way. Caligula has his "Better than meeeee?!" schtick, Shakespeare peddles veg in a tomato suit, and Yonderland is almost overflowed with whimsy and crazy, colourful characters (Bombero comes to mind first and foremost). These are just some examples, but you get it.

Which is why Ghosts really stands out to me. Everyone still has their quirks, but at the end of the day they're still grounded and real. They have regrets, they miss people they remember, and even the arguments they get into are very real and relatable (who hasn't argued with a sibling over what to watch on tv??).

No approach is better than the other, I'm just glad I figured out what makes this show so unique to me.
