electrified

 today has been electric!! first of all USA HOCKEY DO OR DIE!!!! they won gold and of course it was jhuges’ goal!! which he sacrificed teeth for… i’m mad at myself for not waking up at 5am and instead waking up at 1pm (yeah… but in my defense everyone in the house was up till like 3 bc we had a bbq) and so i had to just live vicariously off people celebrating in real time on the tl. but still oh my god so happy and i of course missed txt dream week content. MY FAMILIES

i’m really so happy and pumped and low-key feeling some semblance of patriotism for the first time. it just shows how much of a melting pot this country is and how that’s our biggest strength...as the captain of the us team is mexican american, the game-winning ot scorer is jewish american, and the goaltender is slavic american. like how cool is that? 

how much of a goosebump feeling must it have been for jack and quinn hughes?? to achieve this with your brother. there’s this letter going around from before j hughes was even on the devils where they asked him to write to his future self and like… just read it!? the fact he’s achieved all of this… the pictures and videos of them hugging, draped under one flag, and quinn using this as an excuse to be real about his thoughts on all the scrutiny jack has been under this year from the beat reporters. like that’s big brother!!

i’m just so happy and feel electrified. also they are both so white girl wasted but esp quinn, spamming his insta stories the entire day and night, and i feel like again i’m living vicariously through him as i don’t drink but the feeling is the same!


    

(edit: ok i wrote all of this earlier in the day when i was still running on adrenaline from finding out we won but now all the clips of them partying it up with patel have surfaced…i am no longer feeling patriotic or proud...idk why i'm even surprised, or thought they might be different, when they've proved that they really are just rich white men at the end of the day (even if they are more progressive on other stances)...i kinda wanna delete the prev paragraphs as that's embarrassing...i only feel proud of the women's us team and alysa liu )

now onto txt content… the letters to each other. yeonjun’s to kai’s… that’s his bby! like actually i’m not even being parasocial and looking too much into things for once as yj said it himself!! me and him are never putting that grown ass man down.

and the tyunningism!! love that taehyun says he observes and studies kai like it’s national geographic bc same. i too look at all his mannerisms and catalogue them in my kai-obsessed brain.

and his letter to kai… it has the same parallels to the 2021 birthday letter which low-key made me cry. he loves his best friend so much and just wants kai to be happy. and he is so sweet that it even made my self-proclaimed tyun disliker sister like him! obviously a joke but i think she was just put off by his interview responses in 2020 and it’s just like an inside running joke that she has beef with him. but even she can’t deny how sweet and cutiepie he is.

 
also sorry, i generally try to take a more professional(?) approach on here for whatever psychological reasons and not talk like the average stan twt acc, but i’m (or should say was) so happy and ecstatic that i can’t help but gush.

i also wanna say a lot more and go more into detail about all the letters to each other, but to be honest my mood has soured a lot since i first started working on this. i’ve been interrupted every single time my fingers started dancing on the keyboard, and this is starting to feel like a chore i just wanna check off yk. i think i’ll just make a separate continuation  post about tubatu as moa week progresses and when i’m in a better mood like i was at the beginning of this post :)

anyways i love my tubatus…
