What are Aberdeen and Whitney’s thoughts on tonight?

(user made a correction from Aberdeen to Bee in another ask)

Bee and Whitney:

Any chance when you come back you'll do a little blurb on all of our favorite couples and how they would do a one month European vaca??

I can do this now!!! I still have the night free lol

Morgan and Bee: Morgan brings Bee honeymoon in Italy. They start in Lake Como and then down to southern Italy so she can see the giant lemons. Sorrento, Positano, Capri etc. Their honeymoon is roughly a month so that's how they'd spend it!

Fred and Aleida: usually when Fred and Aleida go to Europe for a month or more they stay in Denmark, but there is one summer where they spend it in Spain; another year they spend it in the French Riviera; another in the Italian Riviera...Fred and Aleida are the type of people to rent a house as a base and then live like the locals, doing day trips here and there to other little towns or beaches around.

William and Aberdeen: again, usually when Willy and Aberdeen go to Europe for a month or more, they're in Sweden. However, due to Aberdeen's family's roots in Northern Ireland/Scotland, they definitely do a British Isles trip one year, spending an extended amount of time there. They start in London and work their way north before taking a ferry over to Belfast, visiting Derry, and ending off in Dublin.

Elias and Svea: their honeymoon is in Vienna and Austria -- Svea could easily spend a month somewhere like that. Svea, Elias, Brock, and Grace also island hop in Greece, especially before the Boeser Bouquet is born.

Brock and Grace: island hopping in Greece. They could easily, easily do that for an entire month.

Tyler and Tehilah: I could definitely see them island hopping in Greece too, but I also think I could see them somewhere fun like Amsterdam!

Matthew and Effie: lol.....Effie. Oh Effie. She wants to do the off-the-beaten-path things in Europe. She would take a month-long Norwegian fjord cruise and see the midnight sun (which she and Matthew do). She would want to visit Belgium for an entire month (which she and Matthew do). When she learns more about World War Two she wants to spend time in Northern France and visit all the cold, windy D-Day beaches (which she and Matthew do). See the theme in the brackets? Matthew indulges her with whatever she wants while all his buddies are galavanting in the hotter climates because the smile on Effie's face is better than any of that.

Jacob and Geneviève: they could easily spend a month in France, or England (especially considering Geneviève's history in those places), or of course Sweden, but surprise surprise: they also both love Switzerland!

Rasmus and Lusine: Sweden is an obvious one. They go back to Germany a lot because Lusine does really fall in love with the country after her summer abroad. They also really love having hot boy and hot girl summers in Portugal!

Which Taylor Swift song do you think best fits each SBU couple?

OOOOOOOOOOOOF

Morgan and Bee: "Lover"

Fred and Aleida: "Wildest Dreams"

William and Aberdeen: "Style" obviously, no question, thank u next

Elias and Svea: "invisible string"

Brock and Grace: "Jump Then Fall"

Tyler and Tehilah: ME!

Matthew and Effie: "State of Grace"

Jacob and Geneviève: "ivy"

Rasmus and Lusine: "You Are in Love"

what does Bee think of Morgan’s pizzaville ads?

"Does this mean we get free pizza?"

"Yes, Bumblebee."

"Why couldn't you have been sponsored by Terroni?"

"Briony."

Did Morgan ever get sassy with Matt Martin on the ice due to the issue between Sydney and Bee?

No, he sort of left it, mostly because what Sydney says/does is not Matt's fault, but also because he knows Bee can handle herself.

how do all of our favorite couples get ready for a new season?

Let's do a "how they get ready for fall" since that's what we're entering in to! Most are intertwined.

Morgan and Bee: Bee buys a pumpkin spice latte, switches out some of her wardrobe, and calls Aryne, Aleida, Aberdeen, etc. to see when they can all go apple picking and a pumpkin patch.

Fred and Aleida: fall wreath goes on the front door, gets out her fall wardrobe, watches all the fall fashion week shows, tells Fred which weekends they're going apple picking with Bee and Morgan

William and Aberdeen: buys some extra leave-in conditioner since the dryer air affects her hair, puts in William's phone with a one week, three day, two day, one day, six hours, three hours, two hours, and one hour alarms to notify him when they're going apple picking with Morgan and Bee.

Elias and Svea: fuck like rabbits, Svea prepares for the new semester, Elias makes sure to get extra training in, even before training camp

Brock and Grace: Grace opens up registration for her dance classes, organizes all her students, and preps a dance curriculum fit for little kids!

Tyler and Tehilah: Tehilah will prepare for the High Holidays, Tyler doesn't do much besides support Tehilah in the preparations

Matthew and Effie: Effie breaks out the nutmeg and cinnamon and pumpkin and apple, Matthew asks, "Are you going to bake fall-inspired stuff?" and Effie says "Yes" and Matthew pats his stomach in appreciation and says, "I better make more room"

Jacob and Geneviève: fall is always busy for Geneviève because she deals with the afterward of her September issue of her magazine Atomic

Rasmus and Lusine: fuck like rabbits, Lusine prepares for the new semester, Rasmus asks when they can fuck again

Where do all the SBU couples go when they decide to retire from the NHL? Would Elias and Svea or William and Aberdeen consider moving to Sweden full time or doing more of a 50/50 split?

This is a great question, especially for the couples that are dual citizens. I'll go through them all, but in reality, you have to think of it this way: most of the guys retire while their kids are still in school, and most of them have an established life / group of friends etc. in whatever city they're in.

Morgan and Bee: always stay in Toronto / spend summers in Vancouver

Fred and Aleida: stay in Toronto / summers in Denmark and/or Cuba

William and Aberdeen: stay in Toronto / summers in Sweden. When the kids are grown they do more of a 50/50 in Toronto/Sweden

Elias and Svea: stay in Vancouver / summers in Sweden. When Margot is attending university they do a 50/50 split in Vancouver and Sweden.

Brock and Grace: stay in Vancouver / summers in Minnesota.

Tyler and Tehilah: Edmonton!!! With frequent visits to Toronto to see Tehilah's family, but most of their time is in Edmonton

Matthew and Effie: Calgary, with lots of travel to St. Louis

Jacob and Geneviève: Calgary / summers in Sweden

Rasmus and Lusine: Toronto / summers in Sweden

I went nuts in Indigo because they were having a sale and all I could picture was Bee doing the same 😂. Would Morgan wait outside or just leave her be?

Morgan would be a step behind her carrying everything she wanted to buy!!! This is the man that let her go ham in Indigo so she could build her library, of course he's gonna be in there with her LOL

Does Bee ever step in if she thinks Morgan is spoiling the kids too much or are they always on the same page with giving them everything they want vs learning when to say no

Morgan and Bee are very much on the same page with this sort of stuff. They don't spoil Andy and Maia at all despite having the wealth and privilege, and they make a conscious effort not to. In a way, Andy and Maia know they're spoiled solely based on the fact they both go to private school. And with Bee being open about how she grew up, they just know they're in a lucky position.

Just as an example, Bee and Morgan don't buy them a car when they get of age. They have to ask permission to use one of the family cars, and they make it known that if Andy or Maia want a car they need to save up for it and pay for gas, insurance, financing payments etc. This is a stark contrast to many of their friends and classmates.

Is Effir Andy's favorite "Aunt"?? Because she must be so kind and patient and unstanding with him and I feel like they would have a very special bond, even though they don't see each other often.

I don't want to sound rude when I say this (but like I created the character so...whatever lol)...but not at all. Effie isn't any of the kids' favourite "aunt". While she's good with them, and definitely kind, patient, and understanding with them, when they see each other, she loves them in her own way, and the kids love her in their own way too. Because of her "relationship" (or lack thereof) with children, she's not exactly the "fun" aunt besides any baking adventures that happen. Bee wouldn't leave Andy alone with Effie unprompted or for an extended period of time -- not because she doesn't trust her, but out of respect for Effie, knowing her story and not wanting to cause her stress or anxiety.

I was just reading through the Bee/Morgan canon since I miss them so much and found the ask where you said Bee and Kyle Dubas exchange book recommendations. How does Morgan find out his GM and his girl talk? Like one day Kyle tells Morgan to thank bee for the great rec and the tram gives him hell for it?

It’s more like at a Christmas party, Bee and Kyle talk books and Morgan is kind of there like 🧍🏻‍♂️and then yes, then periodically Kyle will tell Morgan to thank Bee for the recs!

I just KNOW both Bee and Morgan were howling when Naz called the ice in Tampa garbage 🗣🗣

I LOVE HIM YOUR HONOR

They are extremely happy for him! And Bee has been texting Ashley almost non-stop during the series!

Whomst in the SBU is getting their Hot Italian Summer on like Morgan is? Because I love the idea of a meetup abroad (also, knowing that Morgan is currently with Mitch, JVR and Justin Holl I am DYING to know what’s being said about the attack on Naz, since they’re all usually texting)

In the Alone, Together canon, Morgan and Bee are like a week-ish away from getting engaged sooooooo.....!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone in the SBU is getting their Hot Italian Summer on, it's Elias and Svea. However, they cut it short to head back to Minnesota, where they are needed much, much more.

Apparently, I'm a Toronto corporate girly now after being WFH for three years. ANYWAYS, I can't help but think. Does Bee live close enough to her office to walk or take the street car or is she cool and take the PATH to her office? I just mastered the PATH this week and I feel victorious haha

Bee ends up living in Forest Hill, and so she has options. Before kids, she usually takes the subway. But once Andy and Maia are born, particularly after the school run, she drives into work. She can definitely navigate the PATH although it takes her a while to learn LOL

Do any of the SBU couples take in a rookie at some point?

I can see Morgan and Bee letting a new draftee live in their basement for a few weeks, but nobody else!

Does Tyler ever take his lil Andy for some bonding time together? Like maybe to treat him for a donut or a park date?

Literally all the time. Like, it is a non-negotiable. Whenever Tyler is in Toronto he sees Andy at least seventeen different times. He takes him for bike rides, go-karting, to the park, to hockey, he'll pick Andy up from school as a surprise and take him for ice cream, etc.
