We’re Not Done Yet…

husbands flying back from bye week together

But Draco secretly loves it. He wouldn’t have it any other way.

Edit: I was a bit exhausted. I forgot to mention that this piece was based on @lumoslyra’s drabble that she wrote for my previous work. She mentioned that Draco always sings nursery rhymes to Scorpius.

this is it. this is how we grow the game.

Monaco I love you and hopefully one day you will love me back. 🇲🇨😖

Charles Leclerc, Drive to Survive S04E02

Even more things Bruce has said to his kids:

“Is that a Metropolis Meteors jersey? You had better burn that, this is a Gotham Knights household”

“We don’t wear Superman shirts in this household … I don’t care if your brother was wearing a Wonder Woman shirt, Diana is awesome.”

“It’s not Alfred’s job to take all 20 of the cereal bowls out of your room, if you ate in the dining room like everyone else this wouldn’t be an issue.”

“Don’t stab your siblings, I’m tired of stitching wounds”

“The next person that breaks a chandelier will be paying for it out of their trust fund!”

“Alfred will be having a cooking workshop for everyone … Yes, it’s mandatory … Cereal is not an acceptable dish to make at every meal … You already know how to cook, so you’ll be helping teach … Yes, I’ll also be there. Alfred said it’s mandatory for everyone”

“If I hear Cardi B blaring from the kitchen at 2 in the morning one more time … I don’t know what I’ll do but I’ll figure it out!”

“Stop drawing on your brother’s face with sharpie. If you’re going to do it at least do it with something that’ll wash off easier.”

“How the hell did you and your brother spend $1000 at McDonalds in one visit?”

“Where did the antique vases form the foyer go?”

“Just because you have a balcony does not make it okay for you to pee off of it! You all have attached bathrooms! You’re killing Alfred’s roses”

“Just because you have a balcony does not mean it’s okay for your Super friends to sneak into the house, they still need my permission to be in Gotham”

“I swear if I catch one more unauthorized Kryptonian in this house I’m bringing out the Kryptonite”

“Why would you do this to me? Do you want me to have a heart attack?!”

“We discussed this. No one was supposed to dress up as a clown this Halloween, why the hell are you all dressed up as a clown?”

“Why did I get a call from you teacher today saying you brought your cat to school?”

“Just because you’re saying it in another language doesn’t mean I don’t know what you’re saying. … Yes I know you just swore in Greek, and Mandarin, and French, and wait which one was that? … Gaelic, I didn’t know you knew that one.”

“Complain about one more thing, child, and I’ll send you to boarding school … I don’t care if your 22, I’ll find a way”

“No, I will not let you start an IV full of coffee just to see if you will survive, drink it like a normal person”

“No, I will not put a fridge in the Batcave. If you want a snack you can go upstairs and get one … I did not say you could call Alfred at get it, go get your own damn snack”

“Where did you find a box of cereal that big?”

“Why is there a car in my study? How did you get that through the front door?”

“Why did I adopt so many children?”

“I love you all, but if you don’t leave me alone I think I might go insane. If that what you want? Do you want to have to drive me at Arkham? No? Then please, I just need an hour.”

“Yes, your makeup looks lovely, I just don’t understand why you’re wearing it … I’m not discriminating … I didn’t say you couldn’t wear the makeup! … You know what, you look beautifully handsome, and your eye lashes are on fleek”

“If you want to prank your brothers you’ll be doing it alone. I will miss you when you die”

It’s never only about hockey for Malkin. Never has been. If only it could be.

Instead, there was extortion to keep him playing for his hometown Russia club, Mettalurg Magnitogorsk. There was a clandestine escape to North America so he could pursue his NHL dream. There was learning English, and American/Canadian cultures. There has been playing second star to rival Alex Ovechkin in Russia and friend Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh. There were major injuries. There were down seasons. There was marrying Anna and the birth of Nikita, each of which occurred during the 2016 Stanley Cup Final. There were the stressful negotiations with Penguins management on a four-year, $24.4 million extension that wasn’t finalized until after he decided to test free agency for the first time. There is choosing the best living situation for Nikita (Pittsburgh, Miami or both?). There is getting visas for his parents so they can see his 1,000th NHL game early this season. There is keeping that creaky knee ready for action. There is the war between Russia and Ukraine.

It’s a lot.

It’s a lot more than playing hockey.

Even when it’s only playing hockey, it’s more than that because Malkin can’t merely play hockey. An alternate captain with the Penguins, he wants to help his buddies Kris Letang, also an alternate, and Crosby, the Penguins captain, lead another Cup run. They are tied for the longest-tenured teammates in major North American sports history, according to Elias Sports Bureau. Their legacy is secure, but they want more, and they need each other at their best.

“Yes, it’s about team,” Malkin said. “I need to be a leader. I need to score points to be the best leader — the team needs me to score, of course, play the right way, for us to win.

“I know I’m still a good player. Last year was rough; I wasn’t strong. I had a good summer to train. I feel like myself for the first (time) in a long time. We have a good team in Pittsburgh. I want to win. I want to show I’m still a good player, show teammates we still can win.”

Crosby wants what Malkin wants, too.

They share a need to compete, as individuals and as centerpieces for a franchise that will one day retire their respective numbers. Since they teamed up in 2006-07, Crosby and Malkin have guided the Penguins to the most team points, playoff appearances and titles in the NHL. They’re Superman and Batman to their hockey generation and French fries and coleslaw on a sandwich in Pittsburgh. Sid and Geno are a modern-classic pairing as much as they were a smash-success duo. Also, they’ve become close — “like a brother,” Malkin said of Crosby.

Like a brother, Crosby can be protective of Malkin, and, like a brother, he supported Malkin this summer when negotiations with the Penguins had Malkin feeling as though he was becoming the odd man out in Pittsburgh. It’s likely why Crosby downplayed Malkin’s assertion that he must score like he did when he was younger to provide worth to their team.

“He puts a lot of pressure on himself like that, and it’s not easy,” Crosby said. “The thing about G is he doesn’t need to always put up big numbers to help us. When he’s best, it’s not always him getting points — he’s hunting the puck, and when he gets it you can’t get it off him. When he’s playing like that, it’s helping us even if he doesn’t get any points.

“But that’s tough to balance. When he scores, that’s obviously helping us. Goals aren’t easy to come by in this league, and not a lot of guys anywhere create chances for himself or people he plays with better than G. But a lot of times, people only look at your points, so I get why he might feel that pressure.

“He means more to us than that.”

ohhhh 🥺🥺🥺

i'm so confused rn, can you explain the goncharov thing?? i get off tumblr for five minutes

(This post will be kept pinned & periodically updated until 28 Nov)

Lmaoooo

Nah I getchu. So this post has been circulating for like a year:

Link to post.

But yesterday, it had inspired someone to do this:

Link to post.

Next thing I knew there were fake Letterboxed reviews.

Goncharov moodboards. Really good ones.

Link to post.

Meta analysis. So many fake meta essays. Disturbingly good ones. And of course the memes. (Edit: HAVE I SAID THIS SHIT IS DISTURBING)

As you can see, the myth just started to grow, characters and ships and tropes being added one after the other, almost bizzarely without contradiction, until there was enough of shape to the whole thing for people to start posting fanfic about it on AO3. "No beta we die like ice-pick Joe" is already a tag.

Link to post.

It was hilarious in the beginning, but the way it's developed within less than a day, kind of like it's being willed into existence, is freaking me out a bit. We're toying with powers beyond our comprehension. 😂😂😂

Link to post.

Of course, there could be an ulterior motive as well.

Link to post (tags mine).

Edit: guys, please tag these posts "unreality" so people with disassociation issues can filter them out (not this one, this is an explainer). <3

----------------------------------------------

Edit 2: Aparently the boots in the original post are actually referring to a movie called Gomorrah that came out in 2008, directed by Mateo Garrone, based on the Scampia Feud. And other people had also been making posts about the fake movie for a while before the poster took off.

found by @thepotch

Edit 3: Explainer: why did those boots have this movie on them anyway?

Edit 4: Alt text added to all images courtesy of @valentineish ❤️

Edit 5: Turns out tumblr has done this kind of thing before. Nine years in this hell place and I had to have "Squiddles" and penis smp explained in the replies.

Edit 6: This post collects the Lore so far.

Edit 7: Lynda Carter (real one)/ earns more/ Tumblr cred.

Edit 8: Holy shit y'all we have the theme music. With sheet music. And it's on Spotify!

Edit 9: THERE IS A TRAILER WITH THE THEME MUSIC

----------------------------------------------

I made this post 18 hours after the movie poster went up. Closed edits 27 hours after first posting. So all of the above happened within 45 hours of the movie poster going up.

Edit 10: Google document live-compiling all the lore so far (Day 3)

Edit 11: Masterpost of Goncharov soundtracks (Day 3)

Edit 12: Entertainment news articles covering the Gonch-posting (real) (Contd from yday)
