Oh absolutely! I just mean like before everyone did a full 180 on him. To be fair I was always on team his family are the same as Ellie’s politically. Same with Emma’s. Everyone in his family and hers all follow republicans/trumpies on twitter. But it makes sense considering I don’t think anyone would marry or be in a serious relationship if you have opposite political views in today’s climate!
Oh definitely like i could not imagine being with someone who didn't have the same views as me
OKAY IK I KEEP GOING MIA BUT I HAVE A VERRRRYYYY IMPORTANT QUESTION
There’s a Matthew tkachuk fic I read on here! It’s 4+1 and it’s like 4 times you took care of matthew and the one time matthew gets to take care of you and idk who it’s by but like one time he gets a concussion another he’s drunk and the one with you is you being sick!!!
Someone pls find this fic for me I will give you my first born child
question: have any popular nhl players dated poc? i swear i only see a sea of blondes
it depends how you define popular. i think one of the more well-known players who used to date a poc was nathan mackinnon, when he was with vanessa morgan. allegedly, matthew tkachuk dated a filipino girl way back too but i think it was more of a situationship. their is probably some others, but those are the only ones that come to mind.
these guys will hook up with people outside their "type," but when it comes to settling down and getting serious, their mold is almost always the cookie-cutter, basic white girl. the annual wag pics are solid proof of this lol... if you're lucky, there might be one poc in the entire group photo, and even then, they're usually mixed rather than fully poc... it still counts but it goes for show too.
Keith tkachuk basically is fond of Ellie, look at how much Ellie looks similar to his wife. Keith has been inviting Ellie to Tkachuk family vactions for 4 years….Ellie and Matthew Tkachuk have NOT even been official for 4 years… inviting her to the lake on weekends, to Europe FAMILY vacations, to the games sitting with their family NOT the wags, inviting her to trips where not even Taryn or Bradys GF was present. Inviting Ellies mom to games very often as well. All while Mathew was with his various hookups, flings, & past girlfriends. Also, Ellie Connell mother and Chantal Tkachuk have been best friends since they were teenagers. The Connell family even has a house in Saint Louis near the Tkachuk home. Ellies mom and Chantal Tkachuk had been pushing for Matt to date Ellie but Matt was never interested hence his various flings throughout the years. Ellie obviously knew Matt was not interested in her but i mean the odds were in her favor since Matts own parents were practically setting up the entire relationship for her, and she herself wanted to be with Matt, so of course she played the game and went along. Once Matt got to florida Keith went overdrive in making sure Matt made it official with Ellie. Did u kno Matt did not want to walk the red carpet at the NHL awards with Ellie, but who do you think invited her anyway without informing Matt until hours before? KEITH. Ellie even had to borrow an item she wore that night from Taryn tkachuk last minute, since she didn’t even kno the color of suit Matt was wearing. Who do u think got Ellie introduced to the Florida wags & wag events even tho Matt had not paid wags fees, or wanted officially introduced to wags? Mr. KEITH himself. Keith liked Ellie for Matthew & was going to get Matthew to date her one way or another, its not necessarily that he has acted “inappropriate” towards HER or wanted her for himself-NO nothing like that, its about CONTROL for Keith. he wants to control every aspect of his sons lives. especially the black sheep of his kids-Mathew. Keith knew Ellies family well, shes blonde, all American persona, lowkey looks like Chantal tkachuk, she was in a sorority, the Connell family have the same political beliefs as Keith. There was no way Keith would approve of anyone besides Ellie Connell who he knew like a book.
i’ll use a prom analogy to better explain.
Keith =mom dress shopping with daughter. Mathew=daughter dress shopping for prom. Prom=life. Dresses=Girls Classmates=teammates
For Example:
mom likes a dress for u to wear to prom & u don’t think its ugly or anything is necessarily wrong with it-it’s actually a nice dress but its just not the type of dress YOU want for yourself. but ur mom keeps pushing it & saying how good it’d be if u chose the dress she liked (almost as if she’s living vicariously through u). U don’t give into her pressured, instead u got out on ur own and find a few dresses that are your type. U hide it from ur mom knowing she won’t approve, but when she finds out about the dresses you’ve been trying on she is FURIOUS. Now, when she see’s u she makes rude comments about the dresses u chose & acts passive aggressive making sure u know she disapproves. she tells u none of your classmates buy dresses that are colorful or that aren’t made in America & u’ll be the only one with a colorful dress & u’ll look ridiculous & she’s worked too hard for u to embarrass her. she tells u flat out that she doesn’t want u to get the Beige dress, or the brown dress, or the mixed Black black & white dress, or the yellow dress not even the Tan dress, she wants you to get the WHITE dress. U want her approval bc she’s always been hyper critical of u, so even tho the white dress is not ur type -it is a pretty dress & there’s nothing wrong with it, so to make ur parent happy and get her off ur case u pick the dress thinking to yourself well maybe it won’t be so bad after all….but remember you can LOOK good with the dress, ur parent can be pleased that u finally chose the dress THEY APPROVED, but if u don’t FEEL good u won’t be happy……at prom….

“Okay, I think that’s the last of it,” you said, glancing around the front closet one last time to ensure that all the gifts you’d hidden from your four-year-old son Aedan had been retrieved from your secret stash.
Matthew smiled, tucking the final presents beneath the Christmas tree just yards away in the living room.
“I can’t wait for tomorrow,” he said, the excitement in his voice sounding as childlike as your son’s, which warmed you from head to toe. “Seeing his face opening all of this tomorrow… it’s just gonna be so cool,” Matthew continued as you approached, wrapping your arms around his waist. “And, as usual, you’ve done the bulk of the work to get it all ready, so thank you for making this another amazing Christmas for our boy,” he said, pecking your lips before sliding his hand down to your newly-formed baby bump, “and our girl, too,” he said soberly.
You beamed, hugging him close. “The pleasure is all mine,” you insisted, immediately followed by a yawn.
Matthew smirked. “And now it’s time to get to bed, Mrs. Claus,” he insisted, tapping your nose with the pad of his finger. “You and our newest little snow angel need to get some rest before the wild man wakes us all up at the crack of dawn.”
You nodded, laughing. “You’re not wrong,” you admitted, smoothing your hand over his red pajama shirt.
“Oops, I almost forgot…” Matthew said abruptly, squeezing your elbows before scooting around you. You turned to find him reaching for the cookie on the plate Aedan had carefully placed on the coffee table hours ago “for Santa.”
“There are lots of things I love about being a dad at Christmastime,” Matthew mused, inspecting the red and green sugary crystals atop the cookie. “But this… this is right up there.”
You giggled, then realized something was just a bit off.
“Wait!” you gasped. “You’ve gotta do this right – it’s tradition,” you said, holding up a pointer finger as you grabbed a spare Santa hat from the nearby box of ribbon and wrapping paper. Matthew chuckled, taking the cap from your grasp and placing it onto his head, winking at you before taking an enormous bite of cookie, humming a dramatic “mmmm” as he smacked his lips.
“Your cookies are the best,” he groaned, sipping some milk from the glass accompanying the plate before diving in for another bite as you stepped closer. “You wan’ a bite?” he offered, holding the cookie to your lips. You shook your head.
“Nah, that’s Santa’s job,” you said playfully.
Matthew breathed a laugh and leaned down to capture your lips in a slow kiss.
“Mmmmm,” you sighed. “That does taste good.”
Matthew smiled against your mouth, gently continuing the kiss…
Until…
Your little boy caught you in the act and immediately, you could tell what he was thinking, seeing you kissing this man dressed in red and wearing a cap. Thankfully, Matthew’s back was to the staircase where your son stood frozen, little hand stiff at his side, his favorite blanket clutched between his fingers. You did your best not to panic, and in an instant, your mom brain sprung into action.
You smiled tersely over Matthew’s shoulder and whispered almost inaudibly in his ear, “Don’t turn around,” then put a finger to your lips dramatically as Aedan’s eyes went wide, traveling from the empty cookie plate, to the back of “Santa’s” head, then back again.
You stealthily slid past Matthew as he slowly tiptoed around the corner to hide in the hallway, then you took Aedan’s little hand to quietly lead him back upstairs. Neither of you said a word as you shuffled down the dim corridor.
“Mommy… why were you kissing Santa C’aus?” your son asked in a whisper when you reached his bedroom. As you glanced down at him, you could see his little mind working a mile a minute.
You smoothed his curls and crouched to meet him at eye level.
“Well, you know some of my favorite things in the world are Daddy’s kisses, so that’s what I asked Santa for this year,” you explained hesitantly, hoping you wouldn’t scar this poor boy for life. “So Santa was just giving me my gift a few hours early, on Daddy's behalf.” You held your breath as you awaited his reaction.
The confusion in Aedan’s brow finally melted after a few seconds, a soft smile forming on his little face which so mirrored Matthew’s.
“Dat’s nice, Mommy,” he said, rubbing his sleepy eyes with one hand. “Then I-I not tell Daddy you were kissing Santa C’aus.”
You tried your hardest to keep the smile from your face, pressing your lips together tightly.
“Thanks, baby,” you said softly, squeezing his hands. “Now, c’mon, time to get back in bed. Santa said you can’t open your presents until you get a good night’s sleep.”
Aedan nodded happily and flung himself back into his bed, immediately stretching out his arms for another hug and kiss from you, which you gladly granted.
“I love you, my sweet boy. Good night,” you whispered, tucking his blanket up under his chin. “Merry Christmas,” you added, Aedan’s eyes (thankfully) already fluttering closed.
You crept slowly backwards out of the room, only to be met by Matthew’s hands coming to grasp your hips.
“Heard your explanation,” he whispered. “Nice save, Mom.”
You scoffed. “I am so gonna get you back for this one, Santa.”
there is... alcohol at this party and it kind of gets to you
Next thing you know you and Matt are making out
And you hook up
you wake up at dawn pretty hungover
Walk of shame out
He doesn’t confront you about it or anything but at the next party he comes up to you and next thing you know you’re hooking up again
It kind of becomes a summer fling?
With more?????
He teaches you how to skate
Holds your hands while he skates backwards
Only laughs a lot when you wobble
but doesn’t let you fall
you think something might be up when he invites you for pizza and movies and you don’t go any further
you’re sleeping over most nights even when you aren’t drunk
But eventually you head back to school and he heads back to Calgary
he texts you but it’s not much since you’re literally in different countries
you really don’t think much of it
sometimes he’ll FaceTime you after practice or before a game
“are you going to cheer for me?”
He invites you to fly out to Calgary and you’re like ?? but it’s a free trip and you always have a good time with Matthew so you go
When you get there you meet the guys and some of the WAGs
“matty talks about you all the time”
????????¿???¿????
one of the girls asks how long you’ve been together
you get back to his place and try to be super chill about it
“so ummm people seemed to think we were, like, together”
“what?”
“(y/n) we’re dating.”
“we’re what???????”
he gets this incredulous look on his face, “are you seeing other people???”
“um no but you’ve literally never asked me out”
“i flew you out to calgary”
the pieces kind of start to click together
like the lunches
and the skating
and the laser tag
you feel kinda dumb but also how were you supposed to know
you WANT to be dating
so you tell him and
y’all are dating now
for real
and you both know about it
he’ll do something stupid on the ice and you’ll yell at him really loud through the glass
you can see him say “love you too”
he sends you flowers
and when they show up the delivery person goes “(Y/N) Tkachuk?”
and you just sigh and nod
you try to be mad but Matt sees right through you
if he’s talking to someone at an event, you do that thing where you don’t want to intrude on the conversation so you awkwardly stand just outside of the circle and he’ll wrap his arm around your waist and pull you in
“have you met my girlfriend?”
keeps his arm around you and squeezes your hip
eventually he proposes to you
he has a recognition thing at a game and he gets down on one knee in front of the whole c of red
you’ve talked about it first so you didn’t feel ambushed
when you get married you caption the wedding pic something dumb like “legally good pals” because you’ve always had a really playful, teasing relationship
he posts his own wedding picture but the caption is really long
“Can’t believe I get to marry my best friend.”
“So excited for forever with you.”
you feel very uwu
he really wants you guys to start trying for a baby
you’re like “hold your horses we need to know that we can handle a dog or something before we go all in on a tiny human”
he laughs
next thing you know you guys are getting a dog at the shelter
the two of you bundle up in hats and coats because Canada is coooooold and take your dog for walks
