On the subject of Tigers and Pugs

Mar 11, 2011 23:06

For this prompt at bats_and_balls. Of course I didn't complete it in anything close to 48 hours, but I got it out there a lot faster than most of what I've been working on these days, so I'm counting it as a success in that sense ( Read more... )

This is me grinning in demented glee!

BTW, you can throw it up for Weekend Amnesty tomorrow, if you want. I say it's okay, so nyah. :P

OK, I just amnesty'd it! I think I am simply incapable of writing anything in 48 hours these days. I've missed at least half the prompts entirely just because I don't always even see them before the allotted time period is over. :/

oh, my god. i love this os much. i love this forever. i love max's general non-confidence about his business degree and then he finds this other guy who is smarter then him and it is absolutely perfect how nerdy they are together. and then - and then omg, rhymes is like YOUR EYES TURN ME ON and starts throwing all these medical terms out like MID-SEX AHHHH

as usual words can't explain how amazing this is.

Thank you! I figured I may as well have some fun with Rhymes' ridiculous-for-a-ballplayer degree, and who better to play him off of than the guy with a distinctive genetic quirk right out there for everyone to see?

Important to note that Scherzer is a total sabrmetrics nerd himself: proof.

I know! That's why I put in the bit where he's musing about how bad Wins are as a stat for pitchers.

Biology insult!

I am in love with this. So much Scherzer fic lately, but why would I complain about that?

Anyways, I like how comfortable and sure of himself Scherzer is in this. No cognitive dissonance, no awkwardness, no denial... just a dude being a dude who knows himself.

Yay for amnesty weekends!

I know, I have been bad about following what everyone else has been posting (although I did go through last night and read some of it, finally), so I was totally surprised to realize there was so much Scherzer fic being posted. I didn't even realize it while I was writing this one.

'Course I think we all know who to blame for that.

I expect amnesty days are the only way I will get anything posted for this comm, ha ha.

WILL RHYMES REALLY HAS A PUG. I don't know how excitable it is, of course, but it's a pug, so...

I expect there are relatively few baseball players who would actually look good in glossy porn, fewer than in a sport like, say, soccer, where pretty much everyone has to be in amazing shape. There are a lot of ballplayers who are kind of pudgy or are super gangly or whatever. Really picture Will Rhymes in that situation: it would totally be ridiculous, unless you happened to be banging him and were therefore inclined to find it hot. But objectively-- ridic. :D
