THE WEIRD AL-CANA - 21. THE WORLD- ALBUQUERQUE
---
we made it! and what other card could possibly be the world but Albuquerque? its a quintessential al experience to me. an al-xperience, if you will. albuquerque is full of so many stupid little details there was no way I was gonna get them all in one picture so I just cherrypicked a couple references ;p
thanks for coming on this journey with me to the world-famous albuquerque holiday inn :) but its not QUITE over yet- tomorrow i'll be posting all of these cards in one big ol' post for your reblogging pleasure. and with a more well-written expression of gratitude, to boot. until then, watch out for rabid flesh-eating weasels!

isn't it weird how relics of our past stay with us in our minds and souls long after all else is gone? I still go to make a joke and turn to tell it to my friend who was always next to me, forgetting he isn't there. I still think "oh hey i should ask if they want to join" when i make food that i made with those i used to know. I STILL GO TO SAY GOODNIGHT TO MY MOM IN A SPECIFIC PHRASING THAT HASNT APPLIED SINCE I WAS MAYBE FIVE.
I am a map of every single experience i ever lived.

Sending this again in the event that Tumblr ate it the first time. If you already received it then please disregard this one. But anyway, do you think Hawk's has a height complex cuz he's so much shorter compared to other pros like Endeavor, Best Jeanist, All Might, and even Eraser?
I actually think he doesn't mind! He doesn't think about it too much since it doesn't affect his work or anything, but he's no stranger to the fact that people notice his height.
I can absolutely see him going, "ah, c'mon! I'm just a little guy!" as a joke sometimes when he gets a bit too cheeky, but I don't think his height bothers him.
He does canonically like to perch himself on tall surfaces though! Even in an important emergency meeting with the pro heroes, he climbs up on top of the tallest box in the room and sits on it while he debriefs. This is a comfort thing!

JASICO WEEK DAY 6: CROSSOVER
(OMG Check, Please! Crossover)
A puck ricochets off the boards and, like clockwork, the newbie drops.
“That one didn’t even come close to him,” Percy mutters as he sweeps by on the ice, circling around behind the net. Nico’s shoulder twitches, though he doesn’t look.
The newbie stays down. Coach Brunner squats beside him, putting a hand gingerly on his back. Newbie flinches.
“He shouldn’t be playing if he can’t handle it,” Nico mutters, averting his eyes only when Newbie raises his head back up.
Percy’s side-eye is a physical sensation on the side of his face. “He can get used to it. The season hasn’t even started yet, man, we gotta give him a chance.”
That’s fucking bullshit. Nico tightens his grip on his stick and does not snap, because it’s not Percy’s fault their rookie is inept. Percy doesn’t deserve Nico’s outrage. He’s trying his best.
Newbie’s shaking so bad, Coach has him go sit on the bench to calm back down. The rest of the team have started doing their drills in slow-motion, their heads all turned to stare at the incident.
A distraction. The newbie is a fucking distraction, Nico can’t handle a distraction right now, not when Connor and Chris need to work out their passes, not when Charlie and Mike need to get their shit together in the defensive zones.
Nico slams his stick blade-first into the ice, cracking silence through the dull buzz. Attention, fucking finally, turns back to him.
“Focus on your work,” Nico says, as threatening as he can. “Are you going to be this distracted midgame? No? Didn’t fucking think so.”
Activity resumes. Nico throws his mask back down over his face and does not meet Percy’s eyes, when he starts taking mean, hard-to-block shots.
(Nico also does not look at Newbie, who put his head down again the second Nico’s stick hit the ice. Right now, that's not his fucking problem. If the guy can't get his goddamn head on right, Nico doesn't have the space to give two shits.)
TO BE CONTINUED...
