May I submit for consideration, the exact opposite energy of jackholtz: chowder/ransom

You know Jack gives Chris and Caitlin a pair of season’s tickets for the San Jose Sharks as a wedding present.

some of the most important parts of the new update

What are Chowder's quirks? I mean not just that he doesn't touch pucks when he's not playing. I'm not talking about whether or not he puts his left skate on first or not. I mean what are the things that inexplicably make him a goalie (aka always interesting and sometimes seen as weird)?

Thank you so much for the message! Sorry it took a while to get it out, I wanted to think about this and make it good.

Okay so, we all know about Chowder’s aversion to pucks, and his pregame nap on the hell couch, but here’s a few things I think he also does.

1) Chowder is meticulous about cleaning his crease, and has a very particular way of doing it. The team jokes about him wanting to keep the mojo of the goal just right, but it helps him get in the game. Its sort of a simple task that can get him ‘in tune’ with the ice, as it were. It’s when he really goes into his ‘goalie mode’ once his crease is just so.

2) When he gets a puck after a shutout game, he handles it with the catcher glove he was wearing when he got the shut out. He has someone else on the team mark (along with the normal stats on the shutout puck) a number that corresponds to a glove, and if he ever needs to pick it up, he uses that glove. Everyone chirps him about it, but doesn’t dare mess with his superstition

3) This isn’t so much a quirk as it is cute i think. After practice post big win, he pulls the net down over himself like some sort of goalie turtle. The best time it happened was when he was pushed around while still under the net.

4) He has a very specific brand of laces for his skates, and he always cuts them to a specific size, and he won’t lace up with anything else.

5) Before games, he always gives Caitlin a kiss on the nose, forehead, both cheeks, then the lips. When they’re at away games he does it before they get on the bus to leave.

That’s all I can think of for now, but if anyone else has any ideas, feel free to add on! And don’t forget, you can message me any time with writing requests like this!

FANFICTION WRITER CHRIS CHOW Y’ALL

He’s so excited to see somebody else bring up fanfic that he’s willing to overlook that RPF about hockey players (about Jack of all people!) feels weird (because like, how do you look someone in the face after you’ve read porn about them?)

He already went to one fanfic writers’ meetup in September and it was pretty cool but also all the other fans were girls and none of them played sports and only one other was in computer science and it’s one thing to have people in fandom you know, it’s another to have an IRL friend you can sit on the bus during roadies with and talk about the AU you’re working on.  And Ransom and Holster are basically the coolest people on the hockey team, and they read fanfic.  (Well, to be honest, Ransom and Holster more often laugh at fanfic, but they appreciate the stuff that is actually good.)

So as like, the world’s biggest gesture of trust, he shows them his fic, and periodically from then on gets an AO3 comment from “Rans” saying “Good writing ;)” or “Nice stuff”

Late one night he posts to his Tumblr, My hockey team has this epic feud going on with the lacrosse team and sometimes I just want to say LEAVE THE LAX BROS ALONE!!! u don’t know what they hav 2 deal with!!! lacrosse is hard!!! they have to grapple with unholy forces of the supernatural and understanding their burgeoning lycanthropy!!! they get written into bad storylines and can never be with the 1s they luv!!! BE NICER TO THEMMMMMMMM

At a party (not a Kegster, just a couple cases of beer) he sits next to Camilla and April as they talk about their pet peeves of being queer women, and finds himself asking questions, and after April wanders off he finds himself trying to explain to Camilla that he’s not pruriently interested, he’s just writing this story, and she ends up beta-reading his femslash for him.  She gives amazing crit.

His sophomore year he and Nursey take a Creative Writing class together and Nursey is fucking amazed, because Nursey pushes himself to heights of rhetorical elegance but gets lost sometimes in his literary acrobatics, while Chowder picks a topic and just slays with style.

Chris "Chowder" Chow

has yearly passes to disneyland and six flags

his parents have a beach house in huntington that he loves to go to

every year his family takes a week (in the summer) to go to santa monica and have a Jolly Good Time

he has a playlist of songs he listens to when he misses home that include but not limited to:

hotel california 

california gurls (the katy perry one)

beverly hills

california dreamin

californiacation

fuck you, im from california

california girls (the beach boys one)

sometimes he asks bitty to make him orange meringue pie because his grandparents used to make it with fresh oranges from their backyard

he is very opinionated about jerry brown. dont ask him it'll get ugly

arnold schwarzenegger, however, he will laugh and shrug and say "eh he was cool"

jack was visiting one weekend and wanted to say hi to chowder (and look at his old room), when he walked it, he saw chowder wearing a *gasp* la kings jersey, watching season games on his laptop. jack was sworn to secrecy.

the hausmates dont understand the in n out cravings. once he was on the phone with a friend and started talking about a double double animal style and ransom and holster looked at him like he was speaking quebecois

chowder takes short showers, and when shitty asked him why, once, they got in a very heated argument about global warming and the california drought  "MY PARENTS ARE MELTING OVER THERE IT'S BEEN 109 THE WHOLE WEEK" "I FUCKING KNOW MAN IM SO SORRY I WISH I COULD DO SOMETHING" "STOP THE POLAR CAPS FROM MELTING, SHITTY, HOW ABOUT THAT" "WOULD IF I COULD BRO WOULD IF I COULD"
