“john has groomed him exactly how he needed to be”
Ryan on growing up with John in his Draft Combine Spittin Chiclets interview.
Ok wait the last anon was also me I cannot read (often to my detriment 😭) BUT will AND leno and older men is very much of interest, not just leno and older men (I love ur theories sm ❤️❤️)
tyyyy anon <3 look, cant talk freely here. my dms are open. but js know leno/spencer carbery has me in a chokehold rn. do i think leno, with his bone-deep older brother issues née sublimated daddy issues, has a weird thing abt authority and pain and being pushed to do better / publicly humiliated that stems from calling john leonard “sir” while said older brother shot pucks at leno in the basement, that has affected every single coaching and also sexual (sometimes, maybe even often, one and the same) relationship in his perfectly pathetic scruffable wet dog life? maybe. (and carbery lowk is... not ugly. for a bald nhl coach.)
as for will. his people pleasing tendencies, documented penchant for tough love, pretty face and big blue eyes, plus his stint in the famously fucked up program all set him up nicely for a pretty loaded backstory and/or fucked up psyche, dont they? @passtheseppie explores the extremes of that beautifully in their latest fic (heavy cw, in case not obvi from this lead-up)
DO YOU FEEL SICK YET!!!
