หโง โหส FUN FACTS !
โ โฅ While Ben would never classify himself as a bookworm - he doesnโt really have enough time to read a lot because of his career - he does like to read, and always makes it a mission to read three books during the off-season.
โ โฅ Benโs favorite form of physical affection is holding hands with someone, or even just linking pinkies with them - he loves having that feeling of connection and not being able to be separated from someone in public.
โ โฅ He is, unsurprisingly, very popular with queer hockey fans. There are plenty of edits floating around on the Internet calling him a queer icon and highlighting moments during games and media that the creators think showcase that, and honestly, he kind of loves it.
โ โฅ Ben is also a proud feminist, and a huge supporter of women in professional hockey. He attends all the PWHL games he can get to, often bringing Matty and Joey with him, and consistently posts in support of women in professional sports and praises womenโs hockey teams in interviews when he can. (Quinn is a very proud captain for him because of this.)
โ โฅ Despite mainly being a student athlete, he really liked his classes in college, especially the Creative Writing course he took - Matty always jokes that heโll have to become an author after retiring from hockey.
@justabigassnerd Since Tumblr wouldn't let me edit the ask after I saved it as a draft and then promptly ate the ask here it is. Also, it's a good thing I screenshotted the ask for some reason.
๐ CONFOUNDED FACE โ is your oc an introvert, an extrovert, or an ambivert? do they let people in easily, or are they more reserved?
Benjamin Bradshaw is an extrovert. He's a Bradshaw after all and so much like Goose and Carole like it's almost scary how similar he is to them.
Before he met Natasha and before they had Y/N he would let people in easily but when they came into his life he became a little bit more reserved. He wants to keep them safe.
โค๏ธ RED HEART โ what are three of your oc's positive traits?
1. He respects people especially the military, first responders, elderly people, his friends, and family, well just everybody. His momma taught him how to be respectful and again he's just like his daddy.
2. He's very trustworthy especially when it comes to secrets, unless it's gonna hurt the person that asked him to keep the secret.
3. He's so caring. He's a person that will just listen to problems especially, his daughter's. He's a person that will gossip back with and get really into it. He's just in all honesty a good husband, father, son, brother, and friend.
๐๏ธ BALLPOINT PEN โ does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?
At first he doesn't but when he meets and gets married to Natasha he first gets two wedding bands intertwined and then their marriage date underneath it. He would have that on his ribcage close to his heart. No names just the date for safety for when he gets captured plus it's a conversation starter.
When their daughter, Y/N, is born he gets her footprints done and then has them turned into a tattoo and her birthday underneath it, maybe right above his heart. Again no names just the date for safety for when he gets captured and it's a conversation starter.
I don't think he would want any more tattoos. I would think two would be his limit plus they're two that means the most to him. This is his way to keep the two he loves close to him.
Ask about any of my OCs!
OCs: Mason Floyd (Our Little Girl), Benjamin Bradshaw (Whisper in the Wind), Elizabeth Taylor (My Daughter, My Heart)
