This fic gives me weird feelings because you made him a Blackhawks fan, and I am a Canucks fan through and through, so it's a weird mix of schadenfreude, ego, commiseration, love of the porn, and just giddy glee at hockey. :D

[anamuan]

Somehow Arthur just strikes me as a Blackhawks fan, I don't know. But even with the Pens out of the playoffs, i really love this sport. this was a fun prompt. i loved it :D

[mesmorizee]

Hockey fans are definitely not like other fans. Because they are just that bit more awesome! ;p

I love this! :D

I am a hockey fan, although I'm Swedish and more invested in the Swedish hockey league and not so much NHL (my tactic for whenever I happen to cath an NHL game on TV is to root for whichever team has the most Swedish players. XD). So I suppose fan culture isn't exactly the same. But similar enough definitely. ;p

And now Arthur being a hockey fan is going to be my head canon. XD

[anamuan]

We are definitely the most awesome! I think most of the different teams have different fan cultures, even in the NHL. I'm a Pens fan, and I wouldn't say that we're the same as the other teams, even if we have a lot of similarities. some things just transcend leagues and teams, like Arthur the hockey fan. ♥

I have [ recced] this at my recs comm, fish-recs :D

[anamuan]

oh, i don't know what to say! thank you so much!

[fish_echo]

:D you are quite welcome! And thank you for writing it! You might appreciate this-- one of my friends skipped watching a game several weeks ago and they won. The next game, he watched and they lost badly. Thus, he's been on this 'no watching important games or they loose' kick. :( It makes him very annoying to watch games with.... I'm hoping that this superstition gets reset during the off season :(

[anamuan]

oh, man, i totally know the feeling! hockey is a hard sport to be a fan of. we have as many superstitions as the players XDD

[last01standing]

Here via fish_echo to say I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Seriously, I don't even read this fandom and it's still giving me the flaily hands of glee. And of course hockey fans aren't like other fans still makes me think of this.

I'd say more but the Canucks/Sharks game is starting. =)

[anamuan]

YES!!!! Yes! That is exactly the commercial I think of every time. Loser, loser, BEST BABY IN THE WORLD.

I hope you were rooting for the Canucks, since they won! If you're a Sharks fan, don't worry--you'll cream them next game!

[last01standing]

...I'm a capitals fan. I kind of want the Sharks to win because I think the Sedin twins are creepy but I've spent most of this round moaning why, Tampa Bay, whhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy. But I'm still watching all the games I can. I just like watching hockey. =)

(That commercial is my all-time favorite. Hands down.)

[anamuan]

oh now i notice the icon. i stopped watching when the pens got knocked out because the playoffs made me sad XD

[lezzerlee]

OMG I LOVE THIS FIC MORE THAN ANYTHING! THIS ARTHUR FOREVER!

ALSO, NOBODY SHOULD BE A REDWINGS FAN. NOBODY.

I am filled with the squee over this fic.

[anamuan]

Can you just see Arthur as a hockey fan? It lurks, under the surface.

ALSO, NOBODY SHOULD BE A REDWINGS FAN. NOBODY.
personally, I can't agree more. but if anyone were to be a redwings fan and have me forgive them for it, it would be Arthur.

Thank you for reading, darling!
