🧸😈🦧

thanks for the ask bud ♥️ (from this ask game)

🧸 Do you have any object that you like a little too much or can’t seem to get rid of? What is it and why?

oh I have big time object attachment disease. I’m really big on sentimental value, especially if it’s a gift or attached to a special memory. i think the most prevalent of these objects is probably my first stuffed animal, which is this tiny stuffed giraffe that’s about as big as my hand from top to tail and looks almost nothing like a giraffe. i still have it, my favourite animal is still the giraffe, and my favourite colour is still yellow (which is part of why i got attached to the pens as a team so fast, no joke)

found a pic of it online and this is the most saturated I’ve ever seen this toy. cannot stress enough that I thought giraffes had green cthulhu-esque eldritch tentacle mouths as a child.

😈 What is your weirdest head canon about an NHL player?

Sid is secretly married to Mike Chiasson, don’t at me.

jokes aside i’m actually deeply convinced that Nate has a super gnarly looking extremely veiny dick. that’s probably the weirdest one tbh. most of my headcanons amount to shit that’s borderline factual (every nhl player born after 1994 has jacked off to sidney crosby at least once) or shit i choose to believe because it’d be funny (steve yzerman smokes weed)

🦧 What cryptid do you think is real? Why? (If you don’t have one, make one up).

apart from cthulhu-mouthed-giraffe? i’m not big on ghosts, ghouls and cryptids tbh. i don’t believe in supernatural beings unless they’re my annoyed elderly neighbour that has an all-seeing eye and always knows when i fuck up my recycling. that shit is spooky

8 and 17 for the fic questions!

8. What project(s) are you currently working on?

here’s a list of doc titles in the purgatory that is my WIP folder:

tkachuks

call me nobody — 2987

life after — 0871 (larkin/werenski)

lake water — 2987

mr and mrs smith au — 2987

kink negotiations parts 3& 4 —2987

17. What’s something you’ve learned about while doing research for a fic?

oh, the most eccentric one is probably the history of dachas in soviet russia (in a lot of detail), which i researched for nuts and bolts.

i actually learn a shitload all the time because i’m a research monster who can’t fucking stop himself from wanting to be Accuracy Georg. a lot of the time, figuring out how things work irl actually helps me write too, cause it motivates me to find workarounds or provides solutions to the circumstances in the fic. (thinking about flight paths, season schedules, weather reports, travel times, etc. not joking about the research monster thing). i’m the type of fucker who reads the fine print in a D&D spell mechanic. but since it inspires me, it works, tbh.

for a long-time WIP idea i’m still shuffling around my docs, I actually did a lot of research into electroreception. did you know sharks have a sixth sense that lets them pick up electrical signals and fields produced by heartbeats and muscle movements? in platypuses it’s present in the mucous area of the snout, and innervated by the trigeminal nerve (which does sensory and pain reception in the facial area in humans). so if humans had this gland in some sort of an au, i wanted to put it adjacent to where the parotid gland is (salivary gland in the jaw area, in front of your ears), since that would make some sort of analogous anatomical sense. anyway. this WIP is (more or less) a magical realism au.
