i've seen figure skater sanji and hockey player zoro before. idk if its been explored but i'd love to put it out there:

hockey player sanji (specifically goalie bc he desperately wants to avoid being checked) and then pairs skater zoro.

pairs skater zoro's long time partner has been nami. though many people ship them together a Lot, they just know each other super well. Well enough to try dating and both of them realized they don't swing that way. in fact, it makes them a really good team. they fought long and hard to claim top spots in competitions because they portray a chemistry that's separate from the rest. plus zoro can carry nami like she weighs fucking nothing. so their lifts are so much more dynamic. they even have a whole next to impossible combination that they're trying to get the ISU to name after them officially.

sanji plays for the East Blue Straw Hats in the Grand Line Hockey League – a formidable rookie group that took down lots of big names in the preseason. they want to make it all the way to the postseason playoff finals but always seem to fall short. but theyre so determined. they reignited a lot of old sparks that were no longer there for old fans and brought in new and curious fans. sanji is the starter goalie and a damn good one at that. it makes sense bc goalies are often doing splits on the ice just to make a save. he's perfected the technique that utilizes just his legs to make saves that make the crowd go fuckin insane.

we have the usual "i booked the rink to practice before you did" trope but a little more spice. in actuality, sanji loves watching pairs skating competitions. his favorite pair rn is franky and robin (mostly for robin). and he adamantly does not want to admit to anyone that he watches zoro and nami's routines much more frequently. (and if anyone asks, he always says its bc of nami. its never just bc of nami.) and zoro's besties with luffy so he always watches their matches even if he barely understands the rules. and he definitely does not stare at a certain blond starter goalie most of the match thats fucking ridiculous

one day zoro and sanji are invited to do one of those comparison videos between hockey players and figure skaters. both get to laugh at the other even Attempting to do their sport. zoro frankly looks ridiculous in all of sanji's usual goalie get-up. and sanji couldn't land an euler to save his life. the video producer suggests they try a simple pairs skating routine. sanji is like "oh i couldn't do that–hEY WHAT THE FUCK MOSSHEAD PUT ME DOWN" because zoro lifted sanji and had him sat on his shoulder like it was normal.

zoro smirks, "you might be lighter than nami, actually. wanna be my new partner?"

sanji knees him in the stomach before skating away while blushing so hard he could melt the ice beneath him.

#listen #both figure skating (most especially pairs skating and ice dancing) AND hockey were my hyperfixations at one point #and zoro? built like a pairs skating man #sanji? has the ass of a hockey player #iT MAKES SENSE TO ME ! #but also the dichotomy of zoro doing a graceful sport and sanji in a fast paced brutal game #idk man im too tired to psychoanalyze why i think pairs skating actually works well with zoro's philosophy on strength and balance #and sanji's phobia of being checked tied to many little league games that led him to become a formidable goalie #i COULD GO ON #But i will sleep instead #one piece #sanji #roronoa zoro #zosan #niki's log: op #niki's fics: checks and balances #dO YOU GET THE PUN IN THE TITLE GOD IM SO ANNOYING !!!!! #lowkey my contribution to zosan week even if it might not fit any promprs #i just wanna feel included

call me crazy... but i think hockey belongs in the desert idk

#just like. absolutely gutted that some little kid lost their favorite hockey team today #coolest jerseys in the league... AURA that's just absolutely unmatched on all regards. gone like that #the genuine lack of empathy i've encountered reading comments and what not. these people are actual sickos.... do they even SEE IT? #and ownership ONLY TOLD THE PLAYERS/STAFF BECAUSE THE RELOCATION NEWS GOT LEAKED!!!!!!!!! waht the hell #staff/communities/families/writers/players etc etc are all losing something... like garyb can always Get Bent but these are real ppl! #pouring your heart out into a team for so many years; none of which have been easy just to get this in return #fucking utah.... to play in an arena that is literally not even built for hockey........ like we've lost the plot so incredibly bad esp whe #the top goal scorer in the league is literally from arizona LOL #say all you want abt yotes failing but they knew friendship... they knew love... they knew how to see the world in a grain of sand... #i'm not even a diehard yotes fan but this just blows and az deserves better than this

two teams, both alike in dignity, in fair (furry) midwest canada where we lay our scene (id in alt)

#ocs #furry #furry art #anthro #niksartstuffs #furry hockey league #this is.. far in the future of whatever im writing rn. give em at least a full year of being mutually obsessed idiots b4 dating. #and even then it'll probably take ages b4 blake would ever wear conor's jersey. it's blasphemous dude. #on the flipside conor gets the tooth necklace made like immediately. because he is a little much (endearing)

WILLIAM NYLANDER ✧ 240108 It's nice that it's done and you know, uh, I'm gonna stay for the next eight years. So that's a, that's a very special feeling. I mean, this has been home for me. This is the longest I've stayed in one place in my entire life.

#william nylander #toronto maple leafs #maple leafs #leafs #nhl #hockey #meg.gif #meg.leafs #meg.all #loveliest boy. honestly speaking i can't even address the whole. #oh he grew up as a little nomad playing in locker rooms across the league... #let all those cities shape him bit by bit. #grew up. grew roots in the city that drafted him. decided he wasn't going to transplant himself somewhere else. #the little smile when he says he's going to stay for the next eight years. he wants to play in one jersey for his entire career. #something something sons and fathers that i'm not going to examine TOO too closely at this moment.

[trilliath]

This ESPN interviewer makes me very happy because so far in all the interviews I’ve seen her do she takes the time to say her final thank you to the player in their native language. The surprised little smile she gets from them is so Good.

#trill watches hockey #I've seen her do French and Swedish so far #Like the fucking xenophobic norms around the league of guys who can't even bother to learn how to pronounce a guy's name even halfway right #Her actively showing that respect to put in just a little effort is like #A+ leagues ahead the rest #Emily Kaplan #Finally caught her name nice

1st sentence ask - "It's gameday so you better not knot me"

Zhenya blushes when he says it, but with the way Sid's been following him around all morning, from the weights room to video review and even into the trainer's despite Zhenya's protests, he thinks it needs to be said.

The team is already on tenterhooks, watching them like hawks—with Zhenya's heat approaching like a freight train and the way Sid's been haunting his footsteps, they're ready to pull the plug on the whole experiment if it looks like it's going to negatively impact the on-ice product, and Zhenya thinks both of them missing a game because Sid pinned him down and tied them together would definitely qualify.

"Hmm," Sid says, crowding into Zhenya's space; he's shorter, but the width of his body makes Zhenya feel small, even younger than he is, like he wants to curl up in the protective crush of Sid's arms and let Sid do whatever he wants.

Omega instincts are a real bitch, but Zhenya's made it to the NHL on nothing more than will and grit, and he's determined that he won't be.

Sid's voice is hypnotic when he puts his lips to Zhenya's year and murmurs, "I think you don't mean a word of that," and Zhenya shivers, because it's true.

first line ask game!

#sidgeno #hockey rpf #my writing #a/b/o #god damn it i wanted to keep going with this one #in this world sid is older and zhenya's in his first year in the league #and introducing an unbonded omega had started fights in the locker room #so sid offered to spend time with zhenya and see if they were bond-compatible #and BOY ARE THEY; the team is worried they're going to become a distraction to themselves #and zhenya's still young and worried he'll be shipped back to russia if he somehow interferes with pittsburgh's golden boy's game #but sid is very very persuasive when it comes to getting what he wants #anyway he coaxes zhenya into trying just the tip later #except it's not #and they miss the game #luckily mario has fond indulgent memories of his own sweet little european omega and puts a stop to any serious consequences #but they basically have to get married to make what's obviously happening less scandalous #and there's friction because zhenya doesn't KNOW sid and sid can be overbearing and is used to getting his way #but that just makes the sex even better #and secretly zhenya likes how possessive sid is even though he shouldn't #anyway. when i have time.

what's it like being part of arguably the greatest draft class of all time – greatest dallas draft class of all time – with oettinger and heiskanen? so the stars took heiskanen and oettinger in the first round, you in the second round, so it was a very productive draft. is that lost on you, that class? no, I mean, it's, it's — it's truly a special moment, I mean, we always see it, uh, and think about it when it's ever brought up, how special it is. you know, you don't find a franchise goalie, a franchise d-man, and a player … a forward like me in, uh, one round very often. so, um, very — you look back on it now and uh, we hit all of the spots, and six years later we're all pretty, uh … producing, and being big parts of this team. and hopefully and ideally we're gonna be big parts through these, uh — our carers.

#hockey #stars #dallas stars #jason robertson #he is sitting like the world's sweetest & most polite babygirl #but also his thighs are just Out There #something something the duality of man #i will literally never get tired of the 2017 draft class getting asked about each other btw. keep doing it for the next ten years even. #make the special boys talk about how special it is to be in a special little group together! #though to get slightly real about it. i do think it's interesting how much it happens more specifically with jason and jake #& i wonder how much is it that miro came into the league earlier than them so media members had time to see him apart from his matched set #& how much of it is jason and jake having north america specific media training #and being seen specifically by media members as Guys Who Are Good With Media #z:edit

folks tonight we discovered what hitting my breaking point looks like and it is: impulse three day vacation in palm desert for ahl hockey in february by myself. does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to do in coachella valley?? like restaurants or hikes or museums or anything. i don't drink and i love museums and i will have a car and my only two commitments are evening hockey games. i should probably buy my lesbian parents alcohol, snacks, and/or spices for looking after my dog and i would like to buy local. also love a local ice cream shop or creamery. literally any recs you have would be great!! no recommendation too great or too small!!

(also podcast recs that aren't true crime or horror since i have two 7+ hour drives and if i listen to my sports podcasts the entire time i will become a worse version of myself than we started with, which is already bad lmfao)

#i'm so excited i have not been on vacation since 2021 and i have never been on vacation by myself ever #we will not discuss the circumstances that led to me making this decision in 15 mins and having a room booked and the tickets bought #within an hour and a half tonight but. know that it has been very very very bad for at least a month. lol. lmao #also i am so sorry to firebirds fans where the fresh hell does your team get off charging you $30+ dollars for ahl hockey #obviously i went apeshit and bought $80 tickets close to the bench for observation purposes but like. $30 for ahl hockey?? #not even sitting close to the glass??? that's insane. i hope i get to see someone beat brisson's ass for no reason #OH FIREBIRDS FANS ALSO. WHICH LITTLE GUY SHOULD I ROOT FOR #big fan of going to minor leagues games choosing a guy at random and throwing all my emotional energy in to his game narrative #but i feel like i have. at least two firebirds fans following me maybe one of you can choose a guy for me #fresno oilers.txt #IS THE BOTANICAL GARDEN FUN

I'm so excited about the PWHL and the Minnesota team color is purple which is correct and right. I can't wait to become obsessed with Hockey again like I was when I was a kid ;-----;

#pwhl #if you like hockey and you want to support the new woman's league please get in on this!!!! #they stream on Youtube for free and there are only 6 teams right now so it's super easy to pick a fav!!! #(You should pick MN) #as soon as their jersey's come back i'm buying one #IF it comes back as just the Minnesota one but also whenever they're able to fully brand the teams #(this is the pwhl's first season) #(There was a game on Saturday in MN at the excel center and it broke records for attendance) #(And therer were so many little girls there looking so so so thrilled) #(AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) #editing tags to add: SCREAMS #this was meant for the main blog but i was excited!!!!!

Super rough sketches for the Flying Fish coaches & Sky!!!

Bowie wants to be just like Sky when he grows up!! He thinks she’s so cool (and she inspires him to wear jewelry like hers when he gets older)

Holy SHIT dude the PWHL team merch they have so far is so Minimalist Beige Grey Black And White. Like i get they don't have team names or logos yet but can we get some like, cool colors or maybe even a skyline photo for the city they're playing for or something? Just in general fun stuff about the cities? The best stuff that's team-specific is the replica jerseys and even those i don't see any options to customize or add players' names and numbers to them. At least THAT'S probably because they only just finalized the rosters and want the players whose jerseys people want to be able to benefit financially from that. I'm still bored as hell though. (Plus i saw someone point out everything (except the jerseys) only goes up to an XL which is pretty shitty.) The general league stuff at least looks a little more interesting, I can see myself buying some of those, like the mug and the coasters and souvenir puck all look cool. But like, dude i physically can't go to your games, at least give me something cool to buy. I'm so fucking bored. At least they had SOMETHING out in time for the holidays but ugh. Ugh

#i managed to get a little phf merch before it vanished forever #I'm still SO pissed i didn't get any of the league stuff. the league merch was sick as hell. #like they had iridescent logos on black which is SO my jam #but i did get a couple Minnesota things before everything vanished #i have a hat and i got their EXTREMELY COOL pride jersey from 2023 #the Boston Pride had the market cornered on the ombre but the Whitecaps had some pretty ombres on theirs too #anyway. sigh #hockey tag
