Im Invested - Tumblr Posts
twas the night before classes when all through the frat, many a student was stirring...whilst listening to brat
peyton got familiar with a few other students, some being his roommate jalil who he briefly flirted with and a girl named priscilla who he met through his summer fling...kayla flemming. completely ditched cilla after getting her number in t-minus five seconds to flirt with kayla in front of her face. proceeded to sleep with kayla for the last time in the dirty frat hot tub and got rightfully shot down when he suggested a fwb relationship. he blacked out at the end of the night after some rejection drinks by the pool and received a much more...interesting message from priscilla later in the night. (he for sure left it on seen btw) ...semester's off to a great start!
This applies so much to me with S&G, it hurts
Being a classic rock fan is so funny. Why am I invested in the neuroses of some guy from half a century ago
Update time! I just finished episode 17, I told myself that it was the last one I watched before I go to bed, but I need to know what happens!!
Leatherhead went in the portal!! I love him!! Will he be ok?? Will he come back?? I need to know the good gator guy is ok!!
I'll probably give in and watch another if I really can't sleep, or I'll see if I can tomorrow! Work isn't until late afternoon, so I'll have lots of time!
Also, we don't skip the intro in this household. I don't care how tired I am, I'm singing along dammit! Hahaha!
So I'm watching 2012 tmnt for the first time since I was little, and I forgot just how good it is. I also forgot how attached to the turtles I was, because that attachment rushed back.
Anyway, I almost started crying at the first Shredder fight, and I was yelling "MY BOY!!!!! MY OTHER BOY!!!!!! A THIRD BOY!!!!!!!!" When the turtles were knocked down.
Ozzy was very concerned and I'm glad I'm currently home alone.
I didn’t think I would be that invested but now I must know.....who swings their feet on the bench
NHL Bench Theory
AKA: Bench Thoughts With The Bestie
Ok hockey tumblr, buckle up n' here we go.
Summary: I take some time to muse upon the strange height, width and structure of NHL benches, provide photographic evidence and describe ways this might affect players colloquially known as... "short kings."
Disclaimer: I don't know if anyone's made this post before. I am not an NHL player. I am not affiliated with the NHL. I don't own any of the pictures included in this post. This is all conjecture and assumptions. Read at own risk, take with grain of salt, etc.
I was talking to my dad last night about his brief stint playing men's corporate hockey (Yes, people have company leagues and teams with their coworkers, that is a thing apparently) and he mentioned for a work event one time they got to skate at the actual game playin' rink for the NHL team in my city.
Their team signed up, went to the rink, watched a National Hockey League game with thousands of others, waited for the maintenance staff to clear the ice, and then got to skate and scrimmage a bit.
What he said next surprised me quite a bit: He said every guy on his team got to the bench and sat down and their legs were dangling off of the edge. No, really! Everyone was laughing because they felt so short, except for a few of his taller coworkers who were fine.
My dad is average height for a North American adult man, about 5'10", and his buddies are about the same height. So this got me thinking. If my dad couldn't sit properly on this bench, and there are shorter mfs than him in the NHL, then how do they go through day to day life practicing and playing hockey??
A quick google search answered these questions. And then I fell down a rabbit-hole of bench lore.
There had already been a bit of buzz around benches on Hockey Twitter, etc, after this video of Nils Höglander getting his headshot. But anyone who's ever been to a public skating rink or community centre in Canada/North American in general (not sure about rinks in other places) was probably like, what the fuck is that bench. And for good reason! What the fuck IS that bench?
Well apparently (according to reddit at least) they're purpose-built for hockey and fine-tuned to the game's needs, so wobble back and forth a bit. They're a bit taller than normal as well, likely because the average NHL player is taller than the average user of a public or community rink (which are built to cater towards all ages). The fact that they're thin probably helps save space as the players have got a lot of padding on and need to squeeze past each other at times. It all makes sense. However:
This means that players often need to sit or lean more forward on the bench, as seen here by P.K. Subban in the penalty box (yo why does the green guy on the left kinda look like Tyson Barrie ...)
P.K. is about 6 feet tall but we can see his upper legs are still angled slightly down like how you would sit on a chair that's an inch or two too tall. How would this bench height affect a Short King, you ask? Well, someone of PK's height already has to adjust their posture slightly, so someone shorter than him would likely have to sit even further on the edge or with their legs less bent/upper legs angled further down. Idk how those people feel about it, but on a personal level this would hurt my ass.
Here's a shot of the Bruins leaning forward on the bench as well. (Is it just me, or do the boards look thinner lol?) This is where I realize that a lot of the in game shots of players leaning forward on the bench probably make sense, not just because they want to get closer to the action or cheer on their buddies, but... Thin Little Bench.
Here's the Habs on th'bench. Now, back to the beginning. My first thought when my dad mentioned his feet didn't touch the ground on the bench was: could someone swing their feet on that bench? And would that be cute or no.
Okay, I think it would be reasonably cute. But to the first question: Logically, no because it's really wobbly. But when it's weighed down by many other heavy, probably taller people (NHL players are about 200lbs and 6 feet on average) then someone of about 5 feet 10 inches like my dad (... Or travis konecny ...) could probably sit on the back edge and swing their skates a little without falling. Or maybe the bench would shift back and forth and make this past-time even more fun and daredevil-y. They probably don't get bored out there, but. Still.
Here's an article about NHL players under 5'10" for reference (aka, those who are shorter than the queen herself Jojo Siwa)
TL;DR, this whole time, it's likely that at least one hockey player has been sat like this during a game and none of us knew it.
Thank you for reading this obnoxiously long post about a piece of sports furniture.
(and yes, this likely is part of the reason why Nathan Mackinnon fell off the bench that one time)
Having sad hours and listening to music when this pops up! I can’t believe it’s the first time I noticed they use the word firefly in the lyrics as a pet name - anyways, it got me thinking about what ifs. More specifically, what if the moment Mycheal finally became attached to someone, when he loves them as much as he can, when they don’t want to leave and everything is right, his person dies? The creator has said that when he reaches this point on his “affection scale” that his yandere tendencies would only be triggered if you tried to leave. If you left by dying, one way those tendencies could manifest is him being unwilling to bury or stray far from your body and feeling a deep, soul-wrenching upset every time he notices a new aspect of rot set in. In the hours following your death, as a yandere, he’d probably be in shambles - would he be disoriented enough to forget about rigor mortis? Would he reach for your warmth after stepping away for a moment to collect himself, only to return and find you devoid of it?
So many possibilities
