...That hurt.
But if Zach Aston-Reese had to go, at least it was to a Cali team.
Fun fact: Reeser/Uncle Pits/Sweaty Pits/ZAR/Zachary Glenn Aston-Reese has a tattoo of a palm tree on his arm for his aunt who lives in Cali + he likes Cali a lot!
So Anaheim Ducks fans, here's a primer!
[Video here]
1st off: You/Ducks got him with one of his team besties, Dominik Simon!!
They've been friends since their days in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. In fact, here's Reeser and Dom in their 2017 Barcelona trip with Jamie Oleksiak and other (at the time) Pens!
[Video here]
2nd: He's literally one of the best defensive forwards in hockey.
Like Jfresh said, he seems like a slow skater at first, but he's consistent in breaking up play in the defensive zone, buying time for his team, & keeping the puck away from the goalie.
Reeser's also NOT afraid to throw down and fight!
[Video here]
Reeser's extremely aware that he has more to give on the offensive side of things, so don't worry about that.
Since the 20-21 season, he's been vocal about wanting to have a more offensive-minded game. He certainly wants to top his best of nine goals from that season!Ā
So you can see Reeser in two situations
1: In another third-line Power Line, & create another defensive wall like the Aston-Reese-Blueger-Tanev line
OR
2: Put Reeser in a Boyle-Kapanen-like line and have Reeser score more.
[Video here] [JFresh projections from March 4] [playing highlights]
Anyway, to fun things!
Did you know that Zach Aston-Reese is a single dad (of an Italian greyhound called Carl the Iggy)?
[heās a single dad (of carl)]
No, REALLY, he REALLY loves Carlāthat little Italian greyhound is his kid
He got the idea of getting Carl after meeting gay fashion icon Tika the Iggy!
[Video here]
Reeser is also the 573rd best Fortnite player (in the NA-West server as of 2020, unknown now that he's playing COD again)
(hint hint Anaheim Ducks gaming tourney)
He's also really good friends w/ Teddy Blueger & Brandon Tanev/Uncle Tans, as well as Jake Guentzel, John Marino, & a couple more Pens.
Reeser's well-liked for being straightforward, charming, affable, & giving thoughtful answers during interviews! He's also considerate to fans!
Reeser is also Bryan and Kelsey Rust's adoptive son (not literally, but the Rusts called him that, SO)!
Reeser stayed with the Rust's and Kelsey's brother during the pandemic, and that helped them grow really close.
[Tumblr post]
Reeser really IS kind of a Cali boy at heart. Here's a pic of his tattoo and him hitting the waves (unknown exact location) with the drummer of his brother's band, Hourglass!
[2nd pic]
BTW stream Reeser's brother's band, (http://Hourglass.NYC on Insta)
Reeser didn't do the final design, but he DID try designing the band logo + hosted a watch party for one of their gigs on his Twitch channel!
And yes: Reeser DOES play guitar.
Here's him w his brother šš¤£
[Video here] [other pic]
So as you can see on his chest, Reeser's not afraid to get a tattoo as long as it means a lot to him.
Anaheim Ducks, that's for free too, tattoo feature š
Oh, and Anaheim Ducks, if you need a graphic designer, Reeser literally has a degree for it!
He's also designed the Penguins' St. Patrick's program & their military jersey last year.
As you can see in this drawing, he's been artistic since he was a baby
He also knows how to build tables now, so Reeser: well-rounded artist and craftsman
Oh, and did I mention that Reeser's a Very Ferda kind of dude?
He's a clingy Leo (confirmed via reading him to filth in a Twitch stream) whose main form of communication is through toxic (affectionate) banter, chess, video games, and going on dinner dates
[dinner date with spronger]
Reeser's so FERDA he's still friends with his juniors roommate, Grand Rapid Griffins forward, Dominik Shine!
[photos]
Did You Know: Zach Aston-Reese and Dominik Shine had a fight in juniors one time where Dinger shoved Reeser into a wall, and Reeser's butt left dents into the wall š
[vid on twitter][vid on tumbr]
There's honestly a lot more that could be said about Reeser's playing style and personality, but I'll end it here.
So please, PLEASE, take care of Reeser, Ducks fans!!!

I'm new to Tumblr so idk how it'll happen, BUT I'm a huge fan of the Icemark Chronicles as well and I would love to discuss it with you. You are probably well aware of the shockingly small Fandom that amazing series has. Because of that, I never got to actually have the pleasure of "fangirling", as some would call such actions, over it. Can you let me know if and how that may come along?
Hey there! Welcome to the party. As @madam-du-batty has said, weāre as if five people were headbanging to Norwegian metal in a broom closet.
But actually, there are more of us than you think! This blog currently has 72 followers. The fans of Icemark are devoted, and love this series.
Of course, a good place to start would be on the tumblr tag. Personally, we at this blog trackĀ āicemark,ā so we see anything new that pops up. Thereās also the Icemark forum, as well as the small but delightful section of fanfiction.net. In fact, one of the mods of this very blog has been (very, very, VERY) slowly but surely creating her own fic for it.
Of course, this blog does sort of work as a place to geek out! We always take submissions and questions. We ran a fic giveaway with our 50th follower!
As for devoted individuals with whom to discuss the delightful books we all adore, the mods for this blog (@cryptidappreciator and @thefutureisyellow) are always available. The aforementioned @madam-du-batty is excellent at headcanons and has been known to partake in an informal Icemark con or two. @morriganbia is the most active fanartist on the tag, and I have it under good authority that @whydocowsfall would love to discuss it with someone.
Welcome to tumblr, dear human, and welcome to the five-person-mosh-pit.
