❀ He’s so shy at first. Like, you have to initiate the first few moves until he feels safe and starts opening up more.
❀ constantly blushes when you compliment him. Tell him he looks good in his Blackhawks gear and he’ll literally duck his head and smile to himself for 10 minutes straight.
❀ Big on forehead kisses. Always gives you one when you’re tired or sad. Quiet, comforting type of affection.
❀ Loves when you wear his hoodies—he’ll just smile softly and tug the hood over your head like “You look better in it anyway.”
❀ Not huge on PDA in public, but at home? He’s glued to you. Lays on your lap, buries his face in your neck, and just holds you quietly while scrolling through his phone.
❀ He won’t admit it, but he hates when other guys make you laugh. He gets all quiet and sulky afterward.
❀ if you’re texting someone too long and smiling, he definitely peeks over your shoulder like “who’s that?”
❀ When he’s jealous, he doesn’t argue—he gets weirdly competitive. Random hockey flex. Random “you like me better though, right?” Vibes.
❀ Will 100% pout if you hang out with your friends more than him. He’s not proud of it, but he wants your attention, always.
❀ Obsessed with movie nights. He lets you pick the movie even if it’s super cheesy, and will pull you onto his chest halfway through.
❀ Buys your favourite snacks without asking—like he just remembers every single detail you tell him and stores it forever.
❀ Learns how to make your coffee order and starts doing it every morning when he’s home.
❀ You’ll find his gear randomly in the living room because he gets home, drops everything, and immediately finds you to cuddle.
❀ He has an album of you on his phone. He thinks you look so peaceful and pretty, and it calms him down on a stressful days.
❀ He lowkey doesn’t know what he did to deserve you. Like he’ll just stare at you getting ready and say “How are you mine?”
❀ Always asking for reassurance in quiet ways. “You’re not sick of me, right?” / “Do I annoy you?” / “You still like me, yeah?”
❀ Sometimes he overthinks how much you have to deal with, like the media or fans knowing about your relationship, and it makes him want to protect you even more.
❀ But if you ever reassure him? Like tell him how proud you are, or how much you love him? He’ll go silent and then tackle you into a long hug and not let go for a while.
❀ If you’re sitting in his lap, he’s always tilting his chin up like “…you’re not gonna kiss me?” and he won’t stop until you do. Every time. Spoiled boy behavior.
❀ When he’s clingy, he kisses you over and over, like little pecks—your temple, your shoulder, your cheek, your lips, your jaw. Just a whole soft, whiny trail of affection.
england have been stockpiling their excuses for days now hoping they can use them to bolster their little underdog story with how much they've overcome. me personally i hope their penises explode
no offense to the english but i just found out england has only ever won the world cup once.. wtf do you mean “it’s coming home” she doesn’t even know you omg
yeah the human condition is to feel extreme positive emotion when seeing athletes win the thing they've worked their entire lives for even if it's not your team. how can you not be moved by the raw facial expressions and how all of them don't know what to do with all the emotions in their bodies..
i would care more about the world cup if there were less players on the pitch and the pitch was smaller and made of ice adn the players wore skates on their feet and the goal net was way smaller and they all had stiicks and if the ball was a puck and also they could fist fight
I have so much love and respect for women who are honest about their own loneliness but also find the good in it like when audrey hepburn said “I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel” and when charlotte bronte said “I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself” and when jenny slate said “I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that there will always be a ribbon of loneliness running through who I am. But that’s why I want to do comedy, and why I want to connect with people. You can use that ribbon to be a part of a finer tapestry, or you can choke yourself out with it! Your choice!” and when mary oliver said “whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh & exciting - over & over announcing your place in the family of things”
without fail every technological advancement collects women and children as its first victims. it’s inevitable and cyclical and it makes me crazy like are we gonna do anything about it ever
i have yet to hear of any use for meta glasses that isn’t harassing women in the streets and posting it for other men to join like it’s the digital version of a woman being mobbed on the street by a group of creepy men with a desire to violate them and humiliate them
The first two rows are all Dundons. Tom's wife, Veruschka Dundon, gets second billing. Then come their five kids: Caden Dundon, Dax Dundon, Drew Dundon, Blake Dundon, and of course, who could forget Tagan Dundon? That's more Dundons than an episode of Law & Order.
There are rules about who gets to be on the Cup. Ownership proposes the engraving, but it must be approved by the Hockey Hall of Fame and the NHL. There is a maximum of 55 names per team, and players must play 45 games to automatically qualify; teams can petition to include players with fewer. Nicolas Deslauriers, who came over in a late-season trade and played seven games, made the cut. Joel Nystrom, who played 38 games for the Canes while splitting his time in the AHL, did not. Possibly Nystrom's space was needed for Tagan Dundon.
That there's any approval process at all is thanks to Edmonton Oilers owner Peter Pocklington, who after winning the title in 1984 had his father Basil's name engraved on the Cup, despite Basil having nothing to do with the team. NHL executives forced the HHOF to institute a damnatio memoriae on Basil Pocklington, covering up his name with a bunch of Xs.
On the dynasty-era Red Wings Cups, there are three rows of Ilitches, but all of Mike Ilitch's seven kids did co-own and work for the organization in one capacity or other. The various Dundon spawn do not work for the Hurricanes, possibly because, among other reasons, one of them is 7 years old.
Panthers owner Vincent Viola put his wife and three sons on the Cup in 2024 and 2025, but at least all four are listed as alternate governors of the team. The Dundon clan are not co-owners or governors, again, probably because they are children.
