some of my favorite jamie+trevor moments from their first season on the Flyers together | 25-26 Season

[spirituallyquinner]

WE ALL NEED TO GET MORE JAMIE PILLED I AM LITERALLY ALWAYS SAYING THIS... please share your jamie thoughts when you have them. i personally am entering my hades march (exam season until mid may) but when i'm done... When I'm Done.....

hello, anon !! i sincerely hope your exams went well :))) i just finished up my first year of grad school, so i am halfway done with my masters (holy fucking shit)

thank you for your ask !! as you may know, (or may not idk how apparent it is on my blog lmao) i am a tried and true jamie pilled bitch !! ughhh my beloved. i have genuinely given a lot of thought to this ask, and that it why i let it sit for so long. i wanted to make sure that i can give you something that i find beautiful and true.

in terms of my current thoughts, it is true that often times, many people fail to think of it what it feels like to be the one who leaves. i have been leaving pretty consistently for the past decade, and no matter how hard i try, something always either pulls me back or catches up to me. to be the one that leaves first is to carry the weight of all you left behind.

it is also beautiful when you are finally allowed to let go of whatever it may be that you left behind. i think that jamie let go far before trevor joined the flyers. i think that jamie found a place that was finally his to traverse on his own. and i think he traversed it with the understanding that when you are no longer in someone's shadow, when you no longer feel that you must wear whatever mask was handed to you by a team that only ever wanted to throw you away once you became a liability - then, and only then, can you finally look to the sky with any sort of certainty of self.

i think that his trade was obviously heartbreaking for many reasons, but i also think that it opened a necessary door to his promised future. coming to the flyers allowed him to finally heal in myriad ways that he simply was not able to do when he was still with the ducks. the level of care and love that he has received with this new team is probably something that 19 year old jamie could never fathom. i think that when trevor finally joined him a year and a half later, jamie was so much more of himself, so much more whole than he had been previously, and i think that is why they continue to work so well. jamie is quiet and understated and sometimes angry but always caring. he is intentional and reserved, but affectionate when he feels he can be.

there is a level of safety and camaraderie and love that is so present with the flyers as a team, organization, and fanbase. every single cog in the beautiful machine is die hard, but we cannot forget that it is still a machine. there is always the chance that something will break, but i think that jamie now has the tools to fix it.

every single player on the flyers this season was born to be a flyer !!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

i sent this in a dm to @flintgirl, but i'm still feeling insane about it, and it is in no way an original thought, but i thought i could share with the class anyways. this convo took place after the playoff goal, and margaret had said "they were boys together...":

the imagery of them sitting on the roof of their shared home talking about their dreams and their future, and of course they always thought it would be together cause how could they not? they're the faces of their franchise, good on the ice and in the room, but they just can't stop getting injured, and how much use are you if you're body is what is for sale, and you cant keep it healthy enough to see your dreams come to fruition? but then you get traded, and it's over, and then a whole year passes, and summer roles around again, and you get to feel hope anew because your boy is back, and dreams feel like they are within reach again. and now you have more than hope because you feel valued in this new space for more than just your physical capabilities, and now you get this whole season together and a new place to call home and new guys to buy in, and you start to get some leadership responsibilities because these people - they trust you and your judgement, and you have life in your eyes again, and your name is jamie drysdale, and you get to go to the playoffs for the first time, and you get to do it with the boy you've grown up with who is now suddenly a man before your eyes, and maybe you're a man now too with real responsibilities and a role to fulfill, and now everything is in reach, but yeah they were boys together once.
