CALL YOUR MOTHER.

It won't be as bad as you think it will. She used to sew your ice skating costumes, you are probably not blindsiding her with this. The kissing your boyfriend on TV part is likely a bit of a shock; having a boyfriend, somewhat less shocking.


As always, mods, if this needs to go away until a decent spoiler period, I completely understand.

ehhh idk, I feel like she's already being pretty intrusive -- it's not like she's written him a text for him to read in his own time, and it's not like his dad did anything so useful as "we're proud of you" rather than... telling him off about how WORRIED his mother is at 3am, you know?

like. I recently had top surgery. I very deliberately did not tell my mother until *afterwards* (she knew it was going to happen, just not... when) and when I did I told her via e-mail so she could get her initial panic out of the way and e-mail me back something loving and supportive, which, to her credit, she did.

So, yeah, the bit where Coach doesn't say *anything* supportive, his mother doesn't give him any option other than a phone call (and doesn't back off when he's clearly scared and upset), and he's scared... means I'm kind of worried.

(CAPITAINES, though. And RANSOM'S UNSUBTLE LIP-BITE.)

(I was also kinda surprised by everyone touching the cup, but hey, I know very little about these superstitions apart from what I've osmosed via the fandom. :-p)
