reblogged your post “Clues that Ransom and Holster have collected on Bitty’s secret boyfriend”

#OKMGFK #okay but i have a few aus in mind where Bitty actually dates Johnson for a short time first year?? #omgcp #im fucking DEAD tho

“You… you really want to?”

“Oh yeah.  I don’t think you and me are some forever thing, but you’re gonna appreciate having some experience under your belt later in your story arc.”

Things Jack Zimmermann has had to tolerate under his very own roof:

  • Bad enough: Coming back to the Haus with Shitty and Johnson and it’s filled with the aroma of baked goods, and that new freshman, who doesn’t even live there, is taking cookies out of the oven and turns around to say, “Hey there!  I’ve got cherry pie that’s just cool enough to eat, you all want some?”
  • Worse: Johnson winking and saying, “You know, what I really like are those buns you’ve got there,” and Eric Bittle B L U S H I N G
  • Newly-discovered circle of hell: Bitty and Johnson grinding while they dance in the living room
  • Just kill him.  Just kill him now: Hearing sex noises from across the hall, a distinctive tenor voice groaning, “Oh, god,” and then Bitty laughing, giggles turning into a loud and helpless peal of laughter that’s only cut off by a yelp that turns into a moan.  (Jack gives up and flees for the dubious safety of Shitty’s room, where Shits supplies him with earplugs and lifts the blanket for Jack to crawl under.)

#I…… #I LIKE THIS…….. #MORE PLEASE
#specifically more johnson and bitty banging and jack hearing it all night long
and it’s driving him nuts
#and the morning after with bitty in johnson’s big floppy t shirts making them
all breakfast
#jack nearly bends his spoon with his thumb when johnson comes downstairs
shirtless and leans in to kiss bitty
#like johnson is REALLY GETTING IN THERE and handsy with bitty’s ass
#bitty sitting on johnson’s shoulders at spring c
#jack internally screaming like THOSE THIGHS SHOULD BE ON ME I’D LOVE TO DIE
WITH BITTY’S LEGS AROUND MY HEAD
#and then he’s like wait what did i just think
#bitty with gigantic hickeys and bites on his shoulders and inner thighs and
when they change jack gets tunnel vision
#okay im trash i basically just want jack in the hallway to hear johnson’s
muffled voice saying
#‘eric lift your hips up…come on baby you look so good right now’
#and bitty whining and jack is getting IMAGERY AND A BONER #oh boy the
tags got out of hand (by @nomorelonelydays)

Okay, but like Johnson actually falls for Bitty though, even though he knows it’s not how the story is supposed to end. How could he not? Bitty is kind, warm, and laughs at Johnson’s jokes even though he doesn’t always get the context for them.

For once, Johnson wishes he doesn’t know the outcome of this. He wishes he could be selfish for once, and be the hero of this story. It’s hard, but he knows his time is running out. Once he graduates, he’ll be gone, and not even gone somewhere, but he’ll just stop existing until he’s needed again for the narrative.

It’s a terrifying thought.

So, he holds Bitty at night, knowing that in less than a year, this will be Bitty’s room. He even knows the exact spot Bitty’s Beyonce poster will hang.

He also knows Jack is just across the hall with his face shoved into his pillow and his teeth clenched tight because Jack is already in love with Bitty. Jack just doesn’t know it yet.

So, when the time comes, Johnson lets go.

Because he has to.

Because it’s not meant to be.

Because Bitty will be happy with Jack, and the frowns and lines on Jack’s face will soften when Bitty is around.

They are the great love story that everyone has come to see.

And Johnson? Well, Johnson will be around too, and maybe, one day, he’ll have a story of his own.

Okay but now we also need to talk about how Bitty feels about
Johnson. Because if they’re sleeping together for months, or even over a
year, it is unlikely that he’ll stay emotionally unattached

It’s…confusing
though, because there are times when Bitty looks into Johnson’s eyes
and sees something fiery, passionate, in there, but other days Johnson
seems to completely pull himself away from Bitty, like he doesn’t want
to be emotionally attached to Bitty, like he doesn’t want to fall for
him, have an actual relationship, whatever

Bitty asks him
about that, once, and Johnson replies: “I am just not looking for
anything serious right now” and the message seems clear so Bitty is very
confused as to why he sees pain in Johnson’s eyes despite it

when
Johnson graduates, Bitty asks him, carefully, “Will I see you again?”
and Johnson says “I’m afraid your storyline doesn’t need it” and that
baffles Bitty so he says “you don’t think i get to decide on that?” and
johnson shrugs and gestures at jack who is looking at them with the most
constipated look and says, “be good for him” and leaves

he doesn’t respond to bitty’s texts

he doesn’t call

and it takes Bitty months to even start to process how jack acts around him and deal with that because he is actually heartbroken, too

@gadelingsofthegalaxy help me

okay but like. Johnson came back for senior graduation when jack and shitty graduated. he knew that bitty had moved on at that point and was planning on CONFESSSING THAT VERY AFTERNOON. help me im an emotional mess

HE WANTED TO BE SURE HIS SACRIFICE WAS WORTH IT

Thank you all for making me cry about John Johnson and his beautiful, self sacrificing soul.

My poor, mostly gay little heart!

What if when Johnson comes back for a visit/to reassure and torture himself a little, he meets Tango, who, like him, Knows Things. He asks a lot of questions, sure, but he’s <i>leading the conversation</i>.

So Tango asks him something like, “Have you ever been to that little karaoke bar off Lake Street? How do you feel about the song “Wonderwall”? Do you sing much? Are you free tonight at 7.45, exactly?“ And Johnson just has a feeling that he’s finally getting a starring role in the storyline.

So he shows up a little early, and scopes out the crowd, and signs up to sing “Wonderwall”, and then at 7.43, the deejay says “Folks, we had two of you sign up for that Oasis track, how about a duet? Come on up guys!” So he makes his way to the booth and finds a slightly shorter man, with grey eyes, and a strong looking back, and a honey blonde undercut. He doesn’t look like Bitty, exactly, but his smile and his bearing exude the same warm and kind vibe, and when he offers his hand and says “Hey, I’m Aaron,” his voice is lightly accented in a pleasantly familiar way that makes Johnson shiver.

As they sing, voices melding harmoniously and sharing shy, hopeful smiles, Johnson notices the table of SMH boys, and Tango and Bitty especially, looking at him. Bitty is wistful and fond, Tango looks pleased, and Johnson feels both like a soft embrace.

‘This is it,’ he thinks. ‘This is where my story really starts.’

HIS STORY BEGINS WHEN CANON ENDS AND IT’S BEAUTIFUL TO CONTEMPLATE

(Also I read this and had to get up and walk away and breath because it’s unfair to have this many feelings about a metaphysical goalie)

livestream tidbits, vol. 4

ziimbits:

  • the most important thing to remember about jack: he thinks about hockey 90% of the time. he has a laser focus on what he needs to do
  • because of this, jack has historically been a terrible boyfriend. it would take a special person to help coax him out of the idea that he needs to live and breathe hockey all the time to prove himself
  • chowder is second generation chinese. his father immigrated when he was a teen and his mother was born in the us. they met at samwell. he has an older sister
  • ngozi has said before that jack is loosely based on sidney crosby, but he’s also based in part on jonathan toews and other intense hockey captains
  • people think lardo is totally cool and perfectly badass all the time, but she has weaknesses, things that she hides. she puts on a mask of being always chill, but she worries about things like looking cool, whether or not someone she likes likes her back. she does have some problems communicating so that’s why, like jack, she befriends outgoing people. she communicates with art
  • no one was managing the team when lardo was abroad in kenya
  • ngozi reminded us that we don’t really know anything about parse (but he will become more important in year four). there is a short storyline about jack’s time in juniors (so parse shows up in flashbacks) in bitty’s junior year
  • bitty has problems with agency and confrontation; he needs to learn to stand up for himself and other people. he is passive aggressive
  • bitty isn’t a good student and isn’t the most responsible person. he procrastinates and doesn’t study
  • being the son of a southern football coach meant bitty grew up as something of a minor celebrity child
  • when jack was born, everyone said ‘oh alicia is a model and bob is a hot hockey player, their child is going to be perfect’ and then jack “oozed” out and everyone was like ‘ooooh… that… did not go as expected’. but then puberty hit and he became a beautiful young man lolol
  • shitty has a huge amount of white guilt and/but will dominate a conversation
  • shitty does not know everything about jack (including, perhaps, his sexuality, whatever that may be…) and would not be that cliche character to orchestrate jack and bitty
  • the team probably has no idea about the thing with jack and bitty – if guys like that see two guys hanging out together a lot, they don’t automatically think “oh they like each other”. they might think bitty has a crush (and maaaaybe think jack is being a bit mean by indulging him with no intention of reciprocation?), but they don’t see where this is going
  • ransom and holster are the bro-trope: they really are the definition of a bromance, with all the implied making fun of two dudes being hetero life partners. humor and serious friend-love
  • chowder is infantilized by bitty, but is also the first person to have a girlfriend (n: “so take that”)
  • jack has dated people; he dated (?? even n says he was cagey about it and weaseled out of the question) camilla collins (who now is captain of the women’s tennis team). it was probably like him saying hi, her suggesting they go out, him saying okay, and her eventually saying “we’re both busy, we should focus on the things we have to do” and him saying “oh, you’re right” and not realizing she was breaking up with him. he might not have even known they were actually dating. he’d walk away going “oh, that was a nice person i knew” 
  • jack on a date: “what are you interested in? how’s your team doing? did they win their last game? what are the weaknesses you’re trying to address?”
  • he would have to date an athlete or someone involved in something consuming; he could, however, be in a successful relationship with someone not into hockey
  • shitty can be very chivalrous if the girl doesn’t mind, but not in a “milady” way, he just really likes taking care of people

Keep It Organized

Sequel to Keep It Small (you don’t have to read that one but it would probably help!); 12k; RansomxHolster

Keep It Organized

Ransom knows that, to most people, his Excel sheets are a joke.

Well, maybe not a joke, but they aren’t meant to be taken seriously. They are just a thing that Ransom does to help plan events (mostly kegsters) or if someone has a particularly big life decision and most people assume that about half the time he informs them “Excel says,” he is making it up.

He’s not though.

Not ever.

Because he knows that people think he is bad at managing stress and, to be fair to them, he does tend to miscalculate and break down at least twice a year (finals) but, really, for how anxious he is all the time, he thinks he does a pretty good job.

The lists help. He keeps track of things. He might have too much to do, but at least he keeps it organized.

In middle school, before he has his own computer, his room is a mess of post-its and lists and his family is happy chaos, always has been, but for Ransom that means his parents aren’t the type to keep track of things, are content to go with the flow and Ransom…

Ransom needs structure. So the lists become a whiteboard calendar and when he gets a laptop for high school, Ransom goes digital.

He picks Excel for many reasons. Primarily because Microsoft Word is too unpredictable (especially with bullet points) and, once he gets more advanced (figuring out his average in each class before his report cards come out, keeping track of his summer workouts so he is in shape for fall, etc), he needs the math that Excel offers him.

But also because no one in his family uses Excel. So when one of his sisters borrows his laptop (Excel says Kels borrows it the most), there is no chance they will look in the “Recent” files and see just how much Ransom relies on Excel sheets. For everything.

Keep It Small

petals42:

I blame the fact that it has rained here for like 3 weeks straight for this one. Ransom/Holster ~3K; TW: Panic attack, canon-level alcohol use, unrequited love

Keep It Small

People don’t know as much as they think they do.

Throughout this whole thing, that’s the primary fact that Holster has learned for himself: People don’t know. And they aren’t good at guessing much either.

Freshmen year, everyone “knows” that Ransom and Holster have been friends for years (not true, they’d met first day of hockey pre-season, same as the rest of the team) and everyone “knows” by sophomore year that they are always down for a threesome (they’d only done it twice actually; twice before it got to be too much) and, when Junior year comes around, everyone “knows” that Ransom and Holster are “best friends for life.”

“The closest bros,” people say. “On the same wavelength.” “Downright freaky.” “Always thinking the exact same thing.”

Also not true. Well, partly true. Most of it could be true.

If it weren’t for the other thing.

Of course, that’s where people are the most incorrect. Not even just the other guys on the team. Everyone, from what Holster can tell. The entire human race.

Because people think being in love is this huge, all-encompassing thing. They think it takes over and colors all it touches and it’s a constant stabbing, shooting pain that makes the friendship not worth it.

That’s not how it is, though. Not for Holster.

And a sketch dump! 

Everyone pays pie taxes, except for tango. Why? That’s a mystery. Everyone has to wash dishes, go grocery shopping, lower thing from the top shelf and even compulsory participate in Beyonce jams as taxes. Except for tango.

The mystery prevails until careful observation in the bitty-tango relationship sheds new lights to the investigation. In order to write essays, bitty who suffers from severe procrastination, just tells tango a few details about what his essay is on, and then answers all subsequent questions. He records himself, and then just copies down what he has said and hands it down as an essay. The tango-prompt method has result in a sharp increase in Bitty’s work quality, and thus tango gets rewarded with being exempt from pie taxes.
