NOOOOOOOOOO

"Mr. Vinter wasn't the dad that Mickey wanted he was the dad that stepped up"

I say to the various stuffed animals in my room like a ruler addressing their court.

(the son he never knew he wanted that would never actually be his son.)

Hello! I love Icebreaker soo much! I miss Mickey and Jaysen. Would you Tell us How they are handling distance? How they relationship are going after the end of the book, something about their Future?

Thank you soo much for the amazing book!

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊

I do think the distance would be a struggle, especially because of the uncertainty of professional sports and where a player may end up on any given day, and Mickey's mental health making him doubt things a lot. But they have a lot of people (an entire hockey team and then some) on their side. While Jaysen and his Royals are still at Hartland, Mickey makes it a point to attend every game he possibly can, and the Royals also go to his games when his team plays the Sabres since they're nearby.

It'll be a looooong stretch of years where they have to steal time where they can, cherishing the summers, and maybe there will be some dark stretches where it's uncertain if they'll make it, but I like to think they do. And when Jaysen is in the NHL too, they'll have a hell of a lot of fun playing against each other.

And who knows--superstars always have a lot more say in where they end up in the NHL. Maybe one day they can trade their way onto the same team.

Guys the potential of Jaysen calling Mickey "your grace" as an insult type thing to endearing and like loving would go crazzyyy! trust me!

When the grind never stops: tryna read icebreaker from Al graziadei for like the 6th time but i cant remember how to exit a book on my kindle without finishing it so now im reading poetry instead

Okay but like why does tmnt make my brain itch so much like any thing tmnt i see in a store i imediatly must have it like something on my brain just goes brrrrrrrrr

don’t mind me. just thinking about the fact that mickey canonically gets a tattoo of a crown for the royals. because they gave him hope for the first time in a long time. and allowed him to find joy in his future finally. and maybe he wants their impact permanently etched into his skin to look at for the rest of his career as a reminder. nope don’t mind me. totally normal about this.

HI HERE'S THIS DOODLE OF YOUNG MICKEY UUUH IDK HES JUST CONFUSED

The most relatable thing ive seen

There’s nothing more depressing than realising that your favourite book doesn’t have a fandom. ISTG IM SUFFERING

pd: absolutely not adressing icebreaker and it’s non existent fanbase
