okay so you know the video of the guy who forgot he was married to his wife? that but with Nursey as the guy and Dex as the wife but instead of Dex responding with “I’m your husband” when Nursey asks if he’s an angel he says “Close. I’m actually a Nurse.”
and Nursey doesn’t understand for a sec what that means he’s just like “oh. that’s chill.” and Dex laughs and then the doctor comes in like “is everything alright Mr. Nurse?” and Nursey realizes the doctor is referring to him and then he looks at Dex and then at the doctor and his eyes go wide and he’s like “you’re my husband?!”
and honestly Dex would give both his kidneys and half a lung to see Nursey’s face light up like that again god i love these boys
This has been weighing on me a while and I KNOW most people would have no reason to know this and it really doesn’t matter in the long run!!!
but
okay if you happen to write a Check Please fic from this day forward please know that you cannot eat a pie right out of the oven. You just can’t. Literally you cAN’T.
I don’t mean “oh it’ll be a little hot” or “oh it won’t taste as good” like literally you’d cut into a fruit pie and it would fall the fuck apart and then it would burn the roof of your mouth OFF. You’d have to go to the HOSPITAL. IT IS BOILING SUGAR SYRUP.
Fruit pie needs like three hours, two MINIMUM. Custard won’t set right unless it cools entirely which takes even longer. And also, yes! it won’t taste as good. I’ve found that pecan pie especially loses something if you lose patience and eat it warm. The only pie you could eat right out of the oven is a par-baked shell filled with some kind of no-bake pudding and I feel like most days Bitty’s standards are higher than that.
(I realize this is a comic where, in the first chapter, Bitty baked and presented an entire pie in five minutes using nothing but sriracha but I CANNOT EXCEPT THAT. MY SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF ONLY GOES SO FAR YOU GUYS)
I feel like this icon perfectly captures the emotion here.
My icon is very versatile and captures a lot of emotions u.u
so I’ve seen about a gazillion headcanons about how exactly shitty got his nickname—whether it was in fic or just a random post floating around on tumblr dot com—and I have a lot of thoughts on this subject so we’re gonna talk about it.
a lot of the theories I have seen involve a very long, complicated backstory that was super hilarious, but also very specific. those headcanons are very fun and I enjoy them immensely, but consider this:
shitty got his nickname in the dumbest, most obvious way possible.
so we know that shitty comes from a wealthy, almost definitely conservative family (at least on his dad’s side). his mom is a professor and his dad was a higher up for a hedge fund. his paternal grandparents forced him to cut off his flow, were angry he chose to go to samwell (probs because it’s super liberal and not ivy league), and basically that whole side of the family are all uptight, pretentious assholes who go to smart people schools to become doctors and lawyers and whatever.
and we don’t know shitty’s first name either. we know it starts with a b. but that’s it. and based on what we know about his family, his name could very well be something stupid and pompous like barrington or bernard.
so shitty shows up at samwell, ready to start anew and not be confined by the restrictions his family put on him growing up. he’s gonna do whatever the fuck he wants. he’s gonna grow a mustache and swear and smoke a shit ton of weed and kick ass at hockey and also wear crop tops and be a floral feminist bro and befriend the art kids because why the hell not?
and then some upperclassman on the hockey team asks him for his name, and giving away his pretentious ivy league-sounding first name totally ruins the effect shitty was going for, so their conversation goes something like this:
“yo, what’s your name again?”
“it’s knight.”
“nah, man. like, your first name.”
“oh, it’s shitty, man. don’t worry about it.”
“…what?”
“just call me knight. my first name is shitty so like, don’t worry about it.”
and the upperclassman just starts cracking up because he realizes that this guy’s name isn’t actually “Shitty” and that he’s is using the word as an adjective, but it sounded like that was what this guy was saying his first name was.
and that’s how shitty got his name. and somehow they never got his real name out of him and upon graduation he learns all his closest friends don’t even know what his real given name is.
This little bit will *always* make me emotional. Like, Chowder has obviously been feeling guilty about the fact that they lost in the playoffs and he was telling Jack that it’s not Jack’s fault, it’s his. Cause he’s the goalie, and that’s a lot of pressure. And then Jack, his idol, tells him all these things. I don’t think Jack hands out strong compliments super often, so this probably just meant so much to him, to see that Jack isn’t mad at him and that he thinks so highly of Chowder.
I just wanna hug my son, look at how happy/sad he is!
hi i’m very emotional about tango looking up to chowder as a role model??? like??? tango’s look of adoration in that extra??? chowder’s friendly dad-hand on his back??? chowder showing the tadpoles the ropes of the smh and helping them adjust and encouraging them and them being super comfortable talking to chowder about everything, their problems but also their little victories and things they’re happy about??? i have Emotions
just moving along like everyone else
