Description I hope you like me burning your retinas. Actually, no. I don't...

TBH, this was all I felt like working on for a few days, especially after how the Anaheim Ducks are doing. Watch; I'm gonna jinx them tonight. *knocks on wood*

They're my favorite team alongside the Colorado Avalanche. It's funny how I love the Ducks so much, but absolutely cannot stand the Los Angeles Kings. You'd think that living in LA, I'd be more warmed up to the Kings. But hell no. I just do not like them for whatever reason. I think it's the overexposure; about 90% of my family members that live in CA love the Kings, and my dad and I are the outsiders, not really liking or caring about the team as much we loved the Ducks. We used to watch hockey together, but his negative and grumpy attitude towards every single mistake that his supposedly "favorite" team made just smothered my optimism, and I recently decided that it would be best to watch it on my own. Maybe that's where we began to drift apart because he's still not talking to me. But I really don't care. That's not what this is for.

Ever since the beginning of the season, the Ducks were playing... well, awful. It was mind boggling since they were the #1 team in the Western Conference the season before. My dad was all pessimistic and claiming that they cannot make the playoffs and that them in the playoffs felt like "a lifetime ago" (like jfc. It was last year; stop being melodramatic about it). However, I said that I'd rather wait and see; it could be that they're just trying to get into their groove again, or they were still getting over how they lost in the Playoffs. And I was more than willing to give them a chance.
Although I won't lie and say that as the season went on, I was getting worried that maybe my dad was right, but I was too stubborn to admit that. And look at where they are now; at the time of submission, they're third in the western conference (way up from like sixth or seventh) and are on their 5th Winning Streak. I cannot say how amazing it is to see them play so well, especially given how they were playing at the start. And with the recent win against the Kings? Oh yes! They really needed that!

Sorry for that long-ass fantarding. Heh. I'm getting a little too proud with my hockey, aren't I?

Character is Glimmer, my official hockey cat (Cream and Brown she-cat with blue eyes). Well, she's my first; Basile is my second.

I've been drawing her more than ever lately. I had a different version of this, but I ended up liking this one better.

The Ducks logo © NHL  I drew it in this pic... And then saved it as a separate PNG file for multiple uses because, holy crap. That took forever to draw! I know I could have just used the original logo, but I felt like that would have been cheating... sort of? Besides, I wanted to draw it. xD
