people write sports rpf because ultimately sports are heartbreaking. it does not care for the narratives it itself has set up. and one writes rpf because they try to say that, well, there was love. love will always be there. maybe the team failed, and maybe they’ll never see each other again but there was love in the meantime

I think part of what people who don’t like sports don’t get about it is the permanence of it, I can say this bc it used to be me lol. You’re a fan of a tv show, it’s a huge part of your life, you’ve met all your friends in that fandom- five years later it ends, your interest wanes bc there’ll never be another episode and you're running out of things to talk about it. You’re a massive fan of a band, ten years later they split up, you still listen to them but they’ll never make new music again, there's no concerts to go to. The youngest player on my team is 17. He’s got probably 15 or so years before he retires and no one who’s on the team right now is still playing football. Players all gone, manager’s gone, full ship of Theseus. The club will still be there. Stadium's still in the same place on the high road, they're still playing every week, local lads are still coming through the academy, the same fans who have been going to games since they were little kids are still there. And in fifty years time it'll still be there. It's not the same as loving something that ends

OHHHHH FUCK YEA OCTOBER 4!!!

"That’s the most fun part about the hockey world, I think. You know, there’s so many guys you battle against, and you just can’t stand and you, in a way, get aggravated just looking at their face and then you get to meet them and you’re like, 'Wow, this is the best guy in the world and I would do anything for him.'"

- Leon Draisaitl when asked about guys everyone hates to play against but would love to have on their team anyway -

he’s talking about Corey Perry but the wording guyyyysss, like tell us more Leon about how you would anything for him 👀

i’m sorry say WHAT leon baby

my fave is when dean finally decides to actually flirt with cas for real and it flopsbc he’s literally not acting any different and they’re all so used to his bs. he outright tells cas he wants to get in his pants and cas is like fine as long as you get in a pair of pants because you’re still not dressed and we’re running late. sam yells hey stop flirting we’re gonna be late. and dean is like i was flirting with cas thank you for noticing. and sam is like wow dropping rare trivia now huh? what’s next, you’re gonna reveal to us how you drive an impala? and dean is like no i just — if you could just let me talk to cas privately for a sec — and sam is like you’re with him day and night i promise it can wait. and cas is like please dean. let’s go. and dean is like you look great, cas. you really do. and cas is like thank you will you get in the car now.
