mattmarns:

in times of sadness, remember that auston and mitch

• canonically carpool together
• auston matthews confirmed as that person you don’t wanna bug in the morning unless your name is mitch marner
• canonically own and wear matching suits
• canonically own and wear matching ties
• canonically share a blue jays hat
• you know the one
• consider: you’ve never seen bruce wayne and batman in the same room, or clark kent and superman in the same room, and you’ve also never seen two of those jays hats in the same room as them
• the superhero verdict™ is that it’s the same hat
• you can’t argue sound logic, kids
• sorry, i don’t make up the rules
• canonically wait for each other so they can step out onto the ice together
• remember that time auston matthews’ #34 reflected in the glass right where mitch marner’s heart is (i love dying and being DEAD)
• apparently they also do a warmup together sometimes
• canonically go out of their way to sit together on the bench
• you could argue line changes yada yada
• but i could argue true love because
• *selena gomez voice* the heart wants what it wants
• what soft boys
• canonically go out of their way to sit together in the locker room even though they aren’t stallmates
• not stallmates but apparently soulmates am i right
• canonically sit together at baseball and basketball outings even when they’re there with other teammates
• oh, look, it’s the infamous blue jays hat
• consider: they probably go out of their way to sit together at these outings (*cough* dates *cough*) like everywhere else lbr
• canonically sing along to songs together
• even on the bench
• even in the middle of a game
• sometimes even with the approval of bon jovi himself for their effort to deliver bench karaoke renditions (cyb bon jovi ships the thing too wow #confirmed)
• consider: it’s not a stretch to imagine them partnering up if ever there was a leafs karaoke night
• canonically go to fairs together
• where mitchell literally giggles at auston because of his basketball skills (or lack thereof rip auston “it’s the ball” matthews)
• *cough* more dates *cough* wow
• canonically are each other’s biggest fans
• on auston’s historic four-goal debut, mitch straight up told reporters it came as no surprise to him (b/c his boyf is #talented and obvs he knew that already, jeez, it’s simple math @ hockey media)
• speaking of mitchell “prez of the matthews fan club” marner, he also predicted auston breaking his goal drought literally hours before it happened (and by predicted i mean mitch marner is auston matthews’ good luck charm because what else would i mean)
• canonically have had their parental units mixed up
• by the same network that said “clearly auston matthews loves him” re: mitch marner
• sportsnet: the realest mvp when it comes to these dumbs
• canonically look at each other like this
• and also like this
• and also like this
• i can’t believe they invented love
