cookies

Peanut butter cookies with mini Reese’s cups decorated like spiders on top, complete with little frosted eyes— that’s Lachlan Summers' plan for dessert this Halloween season. He enjoys the holiday and plans to use it as a time to unwind with his husband Frankie and their beloved dog Addy. He’ll soon become bombarded by offseason activities like the two drafts he’s going to participate in, so he’s going to relish this time off. He decided he’s going to be Anakin Skywalker this year after some urging from Frankie, who planned to dress up as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Nobody told Lachlan that buying a replica lightsaber and Jedi robes would be so expensive, though. At least Frankie was stoked about it. Their house is decorated fairly well (good enough for two people who are extremely busy this time of year, at least), adorned in fake cobwebs and other little knickknacks they managed to pick up at various places. What horrified Lachlan the most, however, was that most stores had Christmas decor displayed already when he was Halloween shopping. He stopped mid-aisle to comprehend the sheer amount of sparkly tinsel and fake snow, with a bemused expression on his face. To him, putting the holiday decorations out so early was a bit of a questionable decision since it’s October. . . but who was he to judge? — Happy Halloween, everyone!

it’s the marlins’ time to shine next season!!

The San Diego Marlins were able to take the Las Vegas Aces to six games in a valiant effort to oust the reigning champs, but fell just short. However, that’s nothing to be ashamed of— many counted the Marlins out before the series even started, predicting they’d be swept and thrown aside. “I still shoulda been better in those last two games, y’know? Maybe things would’ve been different.” Lachlan’s expression was unreadable, his eye twitching. Multiple microphones and cameras were shoved in his face as he stood at his locker during cleanout day. “That being said, the team still played their hearts out. Our squad wasn’t as deep as Vegas’ and we still put up a hell of a fight.” When asked what was next for him, he pondered the thought for a moment. “San Diego’s been my home for two seasons now and I appreciate everything the Marlins organization and the city has done for me and my family. I hope they feel the same way about me. Now it’s time to recharge and get ready for the VHL and VHLE drafts— make a good impression on these general managers.” “Are you nervous about that, Lachlan?” “Do I look nervous?”

Amazing job, y’all! Another stellar edition and a great read.

Review: I love how simple yet eye-catching this graphic is! Fantastic job on the background— the textures were used effectively to emphasize the Team Steel name, but don't take away from the focal point either. Solid job on the color/logo swap on the uniform as well! The only little nitpick I have is that I think you should have only have the player's name written once, and get rid of the one in the bottom right corner, since viewers' eyes will be more drawn to the text above the player's head. Overall, I love this graphic. Amazing job, Masu! GO STEEL! Rating: (9/10)

I hope so!

This season, the prestigious Junior Showcase Tournament announced that there would be a change in eligibility for its players. Instead of allowing only players who were not VHLM-drafted yet, it would expand to those who have not been VHL-drafted. This meant that all S86 and S87 players could participate. Lachlan Summers, John Richards, and Sadie St-Louis— also known as the Legendary Trio— were ecstatic that they had the chance to play in the tournament once more, as they all expressed a desire to take part again by the conclusion of the S84 JST. The draft was underway a mere few days later and at 4th overall, Lachlan was selected by the Steel. Afterwards, the friends sat in wait, wondering if they’d get a chance to reunite once more. At 15th overall, Sadie was selected by the Royals. Then soon after, at the 22nd pick, John was also drafted by the Royals. The trio was dumbfounded and weren't sure how the two of them were always guaranteed to end up on the same team while one was left out. This has already happened on numerous occasions: - During the S84 JST, John and Sadie were both drafted to the Brigade and Lachlan went to Team Clue, but at the expansion draft— John and Lachlan were selected by the Pickles. - At the Pro Am, Sadie and Lachlan were both members of the Arctic Ground Squirrels while John played for the Atlantic City Angus. - Then came the S85 VHLM dispersal draft, and Lachlan returned to the San Diego Marlins, meanwhile John and Sadie were reunited on the Ottawa Lynx. Was this a sequence of mere coincidences or conspiracy? Perhaps we’ll never know, but maybe the trio’s fate will change at the S86 VHL and VHLE drafts.
