mattdrai and mceichel being the top two worst rated ships on that fuckass poll because they are "queerbait".......my brother in christ it's all queerbait. these men are all married to or in serious long term relationships with women.
also people are using it as an excuse to shit on people who still like mattdrai. if you don't get the narratives then don't read them; but don't shit on people who do. "the people have always hated mattdrai!" you will never understand the lasting impact and legacy of mattdrai on the hrpf sphere. newgen hockey fans piss me the fuck off.
saying "they hardly interact!" and "there's no foundational basis to them!" there was enough for me to make a 30+ page slideshow with citations but that's unrelated. some of us like the idea of two players trying so desperately to keep whatever is between them under wraps and failing miserably at it. also yes they do hate each other, that's literally the whole fucking point bro. the entire mattdrai premise is "hate and love are actually not that different of feelings".
i know this post is mainly about mattdrai but a lot of these things also apply to mceichel. just say you dislike enemies to lovers tropes and move on with your life.
nothing this good ever lasts this long for me
2015 top 3 picks x aperture by jennifer tonge
2026.03.08 EDM vs VEG
After all this time? — Always
which f1 and hockey ship(s) do you think that could be fun to write or read about them in a soulmate goose au?
ooh, I am so sorry for like the really late reply anon, I uh, literally moved countries, started my Master's degree, and got lost down the rabbit hole of research for potential dissertation topics, but I'm here now! 😅
so, for F1 ships, I'd have to go:
my goats: Loscar (I even made up an AU for this idea once upon a time with the ever-lovely @tynedtime and yeah, I might just have to revisit that one day 😉)
uh, Sewis for sure, whether that happens when Seb was still on the grid or when he appears at the occasional race remains to be seen
Princess Cake would be hilarious, especially if it like happened at like AD '16 or sometime a bit more recently (perhaps at one of the many races that they both can be seen commentating for?)
Galex for sure, the accompanying birds have just become another part of the paddock 😂
Maxiel is another pairing that would have permanent birds, Max's has just become fed up with him and doesn't try as much just because of how vehemently Max chooses to ignore them 😌
Piarles probably either have solved their issues very early on or are deep in denial regarding what exactly their birds mean (they think they are friendship birds)
Bearnelli too are deep in denial and ignore their birds week in and week out
Strollonso probably solved the birds very quickly and now Fernando spends his free time trying to weaponize his and Lance's birds
But, Webbonso can be seen being chased down the paddock lane every time poor Mark deigns to visit his client (he screams about how he really should've stayed away!), and every time, they end up running and crashing into each other.
While I don't ship them, I guess Brocedes might have the potential for also having soulmate geese? 🤷🏽♀️ All in all, F1 has a lot of potential for soulmate geese and all kinds of shenanigans😂 Okay, for Hockey, can I say all of my ships? 🤣 no? okay. guess I'll have to list them out 🤷🏽♀️
McEichel: It would be chaos, and Jack would be pissed, while Connor would be confused till someone explained it to him, and then he'd try to talk to Jack, who would straight up start avoiding him. Literally, would get up and leave if Connor were to enter the room or U-turn if he spotted Connor out of the corner of his eye. It takes many months, countless phone calls between their friends, and a lot of begging from Mitchy and "just give him a chance, man" from Hanny for Jack to even entertain the idea. Meanwhile, Connor hasn't given up trying to reach him, and eventually Jack is worn down and agrees to a face-to-face meeting (his bird has been straight up RUINING his life in the meantime).
MattDrai: Matty's miserable, Leon has tried (and failed) to kill his bird, and everyone else just wants it to end! There's an honest to god support group for those personally victimised by these two idiots; it has quite the membership.
Marntthews: Yeah, no, it's depressing how bad these two are, their birds even give up after a point, because they're just so SAD. But, they are the quickest to sort out their shit, and by the Olympics, they're madly, disgustingly in love (everyone wants to kill them😂).
TrevorJamie: Trevor hides his goose scarily well, like if you didn't see it with your own eyes, then you'd never know it even existed (he doesn't want to be a homewrecker!), while Jamie just thinks that his goose is actually someone else's.
NicoJack: They both are idiots and think that the other's goose is for someone else and not them (the entire team wants to strangle both of them!) .
Marcheron: I could see this going two ways: they either figure it out a few years into being Bruins, or it's when Bergy retires/ Marchy gets traded, either way, they either hide it for a bit (if the former happens) or sort their shit out relatively quickly (for the latter) I have a few more ships and a few in mind for Indy as well, but because of constraints on this post, I can't add them here, but I'd love to talk about them in another post!
the narrative of mceichel and the 2015 draft class haunts everyone
