The abyss looks back

Also, I cannot tell one Staal from another and can only assume that they have bar codes on the backs of their necks courtesy of the cloning process so that whoever is fighting and/or fucking them can tell the difference.

I can tell them apart when they are all together, but separately they look like The One Staal.

Sometimes I can tell if it's Marc or not.

I feel like Ulysses S. Grant, who said he only knew two songs. One was "Yankee Doodle" and the other one wasn't.

I was doing just fine treating it as original fic in a shared universe but I'm getting sucked in and starting to recognize faces. I DO NOT NEED THEIR STUPID FACES. GENO TAKE YOUR FACE OFF THAT PUPPY.

And in my other post, derryderrydown is throwing rappin' Ovechkin at me. Godammit.

This is what hockey fandom does: it destroys people from within. And without. And with faces and butts.

When you recognise a hockey player from his butt, you know hockey fandom has won.

I'm a bit face-blind. There is every likelihood, given shapeless pants and pads, that I am also butt-blind.

HOCKEY WILL NOT PREVAIL!

(I cling to hope....)

I'm pretty face-blind myself, but you will find that two butts in particular get shared a lot by fandom, and soon you will find yourself going "Oh, look, a new pic of Tazer's ass."

It's inevitable, unfortunately.

Just one more reason why hockey is such a cracktastic fandom.

IT IS IN NO WAY A GOOD LIVE CHOICE, OKAY?

[nagasvoice]

Which must lead inevitably on a downward slope to the fic where somebody official says solemnly, "Do you recognize this butt?" in a whole lineup of same.

[ladyvyola]

Shhhhh!

You'll give them ideas!
