#stupid little hrrrghrgrhrhrhhhhhh RATTHEW quit that all of it CEASE #the matthew modesty towel strikes again #matthew bridgerton brain positively SCREAMING about matthew in one of those fancy veiled hats the intricate little wraps his modest ass #in as many layers as possible completely covered/buttoned up & weirdly obsessed w/ propriety for someone who couldn’t give a fuck otherwise #matthew flustered after being teased by the boys & he storms off & sits in the carriage to fix his hat & rewrap the tulle tied under his ja #matthew tkachuk #calgary flames #back on my bridgerton train. this one is ALSO from way deep in the drafts and i promise i will continue the thought above once i continue #the thought from the last post which is definitely about something entirely different but anyway as follows cont:#matthew has a singular love (something appropriate for the ladies of the time. charities? justice? i do love the idea of matthew the #organizer hosting charitable balls although i know that’s the wrong place & time frame that was definitely more like. 1900s americas right #anyway. Matthew very nurse nightingale esque (terrible reference that makes no sense i know) but just devoted to a cause and OH I KNOW WHY #MY BRAIN SAID NURSE NIGHTINGALE it’s bc leon is a soldier & subconsciously i was like oh! nurse! support the war effort! leon would like th #efforts to support the medical aid and orphans etc etc all of matthew’s charitable works. i think a fun misunderstanding would be leon #griping about the ball to matthew and how he hates them and matthew very coldly telling him that he’s the one that planned it and then Leon #feels STUPID when he learns it’s for charity… realizes he’s made a terrible mistake… this is the i would get off the ice moment but also i #want the i would get off the ice moment to occur a SECOND time in which it means leon would get out of matthew’s way. of course hed let him #be himself and engage with his charities and his friends and matthew loves to be a host why would leon not want that. he’s not taming him #OKAY ANYWAY. as i was saying ??? months ago (love how i equated the penalty box with a private carriage?) i adore modest and prim matthew #also should mention that like. it’s not gender bend. it’s just matthew in a dress. do i have a logical rhyme or reason for who is a lady of #the tonne and who is not? absolutely not. i will not be addressing it nor explaining it (well. maybe a little depending on the au. if it’s #the quinn one i suppose i have to a little bit) but the reason Matthew is is because it’s solely for the sake of the modesty towel and me #wanting that represented by modest fashion & dresses if I don’t get to have a Matthew ankle flashing wrist exposure moment I’ll simply DIE #do I even know the mechanics of how it works? like the easy way is to make it some kind of dynamics based thing but I really don’t want to #throw that in here and it can’t be the eldest sibling marries off and is presented (that doesn’t work with quinn at university) so maybe #it’s like. the child who will provide for the parents? designated child to be married off?? which makes no sense & I think i’m still going #to stick with my heart which says. matthew will be in dresses and it will be a facet of the universe that is natural and unquestionable.#not everything needs an explanation me @ me!!! if they’re going to suspend disbelief they can suspend it about that too!!! it’s fine #so. who wants to write four (??) separate bridgerton aus with me about various matthew tkachuk plots lmao (i saw with no docs started)#ohh also? matthew cloaked lady whistledown in these gifs. i KNOW i said he doesn’t have the right temperament but i haven’t figured out who

Tired: trick or treat Wired: thirst or accurst

#the matthew modesty towel strikes again #bridgerton season two is out… is everyone ready for my unhinged historical aus to be revived i KNOW i have modest maiden matthew somewhere #yeah i read all the bridgerton novels what do you want me to say i just think that the pk lady danbury parallel is so-#<- LMAOOOO guess who actually finally just started bingeing season 2 so that i could watch season 3 and immediately went #hey remember the matthew bridgerton au(s)-#anyway I don’t think there’s a consistent tag for them besides maybe in my general Matthew but I do remember 2 separate plots one of which #was DEFINITELY more colin/penelope with quinn where quinn returned home from university to find matthew beautiful eldest daughter &#childhood best friend (also I think I gave them the scene from benedict and sophie’s story where he saved her from the pond? mostly because #i wanted Matthew in a sopping wet dress shivering in the carriage) but ALSO there’s the johnny Matthew’s scorned love arc (i think either #he was the villain for quinn or it was his own arc of the love story i just remember misunderstandings ABOUND & actually oh my god now that #i’ve officially said that it’s very colin/penelope can you IMAGINE matthew as lady whistledown. does he have the temperament? I think it’s #more interesting to me as a fic premise to have it be all lady whistledown writings telling the story or at least opening every chapter/brk #to comment on things outside of the purview of the characters and YES you know i would use this to tell you about my elaborate in-universe #matchmaking that was completely irrelevant to the plot (UNLESS IT WASN’T?? use lady whistledown’s info somehow? but you need to have a plot #first to do that [first thing in my head was very pride and prejudice figure out about the terrible dishonorable lord OH THAT’S for the #evil johnny arc!!] but anyway i also didn’t even finish describing all the aus because the one i have been more or less attached to #especially because I’m watching season two is the happy aged-spinster matthew meeting german soldier leon at brady & tim (german prince etc #happy wedding and they enemies to lovers hate each other and fall in love. i think that one was inspired by sense and sensibility? it was #definitely another Austen i was on an austen kick at the time (also a smidge of francesca’s story) but i do love it because it allows also #for the modest matthew he’s wearing dreary spinster clothes (which i KNOW he doesn’t in real life so maybe we have him break out of his #shell? he owns these beautiful gowns he doesn’t wear for proprieties sake (lmaOOOO just turned it horny for myself by having him put them o #for leon 🫡 bro can we chill) but fr idk maybe once brady’s in society and married he doesn’t have to care anymore he doesn’t have that #responsibility anymore yes taryn still needs to be in society but brady can be her supportive presence their future is secure matthew can #just be a governess he always has a home and a place with brady and tim the family fortune is secured and if taryn never finds a match she #will be too and matthew would have paid any price to ensure brady was able to get a love match and what luck that tim was a PRINCE anyway.#grizzled soldier leon looking to settle and have a wife Matthew who’s done playing by the rules of the tonne now that he doesn’t need to?#like the thing is that i think matthew would EXCEL at being at balls :/ and he’d be so social and good :/ maybe he just is a terrific host #and is allowed more independence because brady and tim carry the weight of the family now and matthew would not settle for a man that would #restrain him or make him give up everything he loves i think that’s more likely OHHHH WE CAN MAKE THE SINGLEMINDED LOVE OF HOCKEY HERE WORK #matthew tkachuk

#meeEEEEEEEE 😭#gritty voice: it me #had to scroll back years in my drafts because i’m having like. zero inspiration & want something to spark joy for me bc i feel this so bad #having my semi-regular ‘i’m going to die and never write anything ever again’ struggle which will be fine in like. a week #and means i need to go eat and do something with people and or rot my brain with literature and tv #anyway. serenity prayer i know this fact (i write so slowly) about myself and just because i may have the time rn to write does not mean #i need to guilt myself into doing it or feel bad when i cannot accomplish it #i want to finish dewey^2 p2 so bad you guys i really do. unfortunately for myself i am a) slow and b) dicking around with having a plot #and compensating by letting my brain play in the sandbox of one of my other eight million unfinished wips but it doesn’t even wanna do that #i did organize all my random snippets for d^2 p2 chronologically today though so. small victories

BERGGY HAT TRICK NIGHT 🚨🚨🚨

#liv in the replies #the third period was absolutely off the rails and i’m so happy i ended up going to the game #bonus gratitude for having someone come with me so that i didn’t have to go alone which i am very good at but sometimes you like to share #sat next to very cute baby and very enthusiastic nice older lady who was a season ticket holder vibes all around were good 🥹#EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE ADS SAT WADE ALLISON AND WEATHERBY?? NO SHAI BUIUM FOR ME EITHER???#should clarify that i am detroit ride or die and this includes Grand Rapids but Milwaukee does have a special place in my heart #so i really wanted to go to this game to see my Teams (even if ratty isn’t on the ads anymore he’s in chicago)#AND as i knew. the ads play super physical so for the first 2 periods we chose violence not goals & then berggy said FINE i’ll do it myself #also i LOVE how feisty cossa gets when the boys won’t score or do what he wants. angry stick slams all day on the ice ohhh he menaces them #grand rapids griffins #okay i am so sleepy now i will check my notifs tomorrow but. committing to the bit of being less mysterious and telling u guys about stuff #neither of these pictures are particularly good i think but i was there and that counts for something

what are your opinions on fake grass?

I gotta say this with no disrespect at all, but I’ve noticed me and Luna have gotten this ask once a year for the past few years. Is there a conspiracy in uncovering? Is this FIFA canvassing for the 2026 World Cup? Let me know. Anyway I’m real grass all the way. Fake grass just doesn’t hit

#to completely digress into a different sport on this blog: god EYE have opinions about fake grass. coming from [redacted]#with one of the best turf management programs (we just [REDACTED!! sorry not doxxing myself just know it’s a cool thing. with turf.])#i have learned about this against my will. also from having to work with IPF & maintenance for our fields &the use of [redacted fancy turf]#fake grass is straight up not it bro. ‘it’s more even you don’t twist an ankle’ oh such bs. unless you have the world’s most beautifully #maintained soft turf turf hurts your shins!! it’s bad for your joints!! you’re running on pulverized rubber basically!! it gets hot as FUCK #like. five to ten degree difference depending on the weather and sun conditions & it never goes away. it is the glitter of the sports world #AND there is no breeding ground for infection like turf. i don’t care how well you clean it!! she’s plastic!! she’s fake!! it’s bad!!!#like yeah a monoculture of grass is bad for the environment but arguable it’s better to have grass (again. depending on the pest management)#and 1000% all of this is also because i hate turf burn turf burn sucks turf burn is the WORST & it never heals & i have so many turf scars #fuck contact sports on turf all my homies hate contact sports on turf there’s a conspiracy between Vaseline and big turf i swear to you.#anyway do you think this is how nhlers feel about different kinds of synthetic ice because i certainly do lmao #and knowing that i AM going to give this trait to someone because i’ve never had a personality trait i couldn’t imprint on a hockey player #deep cuts from the draft dumpster dives #the reblog timing of this post is personally funny to me & will not risk doxxing myself about it but: lol i hope we’re on grass tomorrow
