P, S, W, and X for the shipping ask thing!
P (invent a random AU for any fandom):Ā hockey rpf rowing AU. Ā each team has at least an 8 boat (and like, obviously a 4 or two, maybe some pairs or singles). Ā ovechkin is in the bitch niche (7 seat). Ā backstromās the stroke, mostly bc it would be fucking hilarious. Ā or heās six because of the ability to soak up oviās bullshit. Ā if not backy, then a d-man would be six, because of the pairing with holts. Ā HOLTBY IS FIVE as any goalie should be tbh. Ā four and three are wilson and burky because they are the ones least capable at dealing with life, as are three and four. Ā oshieād be 2 seat. Ā carlsonās bow seat. Ā and i think latts is the cox, because imagine latts being salty about catching strokeās spray, and how choppy the ride is. Ā when he gets chosen to be cox heās allĀ āwhy am i the cox, huh? Ā is it because iām too small? Ā whatāre you trying to say?ā
and itās practically lawĀ that sixes and sevens are made for each other. Ā and that your pair mate is yours for as long as you both shall row.
(ovi and backy totally rowed a pair together at one point. Ā they tipped over a lot, as all pairs do)
(in the space of 5 seconds i have become incredibly dedicated to this au)
S (show us an example of your personal headcanon): where do i even START. Ā so iāve been thinking a lot about paul martin and beau bennett (as one does). Ā and paulieās a caretaker, of course. Ā but heās not overbearing about it. Ā like heāll wait until beau asks for help (or puts himself in danger) to be likeĀ āyeah i cook too much food come over some timeā. Ā and when beau doesnāt take him up on it right away, heās not gonna push it. Ā but then heās ecstaticĀ when beau finally does come over and let paulie take care of him. Ā and then beau actually lets himself be taken care of, lets paulie go the extra little bit to care for him and everything.
W (a trope that you are almost certain to hate in any fandom):Ā there are very few tropes that i hate. Ā there are some that i hate but i love at the same time. Ā like anything that has to do with coercion (so, non-con, and some dub-con) i hate hate hateĀ but sometimes iām in that mood where iām like YES. but it has to be shown as bad, and not the right thing to do, otherwise i nope right out of there.
X (a trope that you are almost certain to love in any fandom): fake dating, both of them pining for each other but they donāt know the other one likes them and they have to start pretending to date for reasonsĀ and then they get to the end of it and it becomesĀ āokay iām sad butā¦okayā and one canāt let them go and theyāre both sad. Ā YUP. another variant is theĀ āi didnāt know we were datingā i LOVE IT
