I’m breaking my rule about posting Ngozi’s tweets on tumblr just this once because these Jan 26, 2015 tweets were the ones originally cited as sources on the wiki, but appear to no longer be readable.
I’ve been so fixated on why the wiki says Holster has 3 sisters when the source tweets (Jan 26/15) only list two potential names. And FINALLY I found confirmation from the earlier October 5, 2014 that he indeed only has TWO sisters.
So, apologies to Ngozi for screen-capping your tweets. I only intended to use them for fic references but this one issue has been irritating me for absolutely no real reason and I really wanted to show some proof. I promise I won’t do it again.
(also, we know that Chowder at least has one sister, so I’m guessing the “no one else has siblings” was excluding the frogs at this point)
and dex has at least one brother
CORRECTION: I unearthed a tweet last night about the frogs that rocked my entire world. Frog siblings!!!!! (It was a reply to someone that only came up when I searched “Nursey”) Behold!!!
Chowder – 1 sister
Dex – 1 older brother (and that seems to be it!!)
Nursey – 1 older sisterI’m assuming from context that Chowder’s sister is younger, since Ngozi purposely states Dex and Nursey’s siblings are older. Also, we know Chowder was born while his parents were still studying at Samwell, and I think them both getting doctorates while raising two kids might be a little too much.
I always accepted that Dex has a lot of siblings… Where do I go from here? (I’m super psyched that Nursey has a sister tho. Wha~!?)
The only mystery remaining are whether Parson or Duan siblings exist…
I might need to make a separate post that condenses everything I’ve learned from Twitter. Seriously. Amazing. I live for family details.

ok but I’m so in awe of the fact that in this new extra we just saw a misunderstanding with people thinking Dex hates something when in reality he likes it, he’s just kind of puzzled by it because I can’t stop thinking about that one set of tweets with him asking about the “one in four maybe more” thing and everyone thinking he was homophobic.
How often does this happen to him? I think we can infer pretty easily from these two incidents alone that Dex just has a very angry face and on top of that doesn’t know how to respond to things and other people don’t understand him. is the smh starting to get this? They obviously like him now, so they must not think he’s homophobic anymore, but is that because they think they taught him better, or did they realize they misinterpreted his response? They clearly still don’t fully understand his facial expressions because they just thought, again, that he hated something he doesn’t
and what I’m trying to get at here is that to Nursey, who has demonstrated an inability to correctly understand Dex’s reactions on multiple occasions, it’s an established fact that Dex doesn’t like Nursey.
Look at the pattern – Dex seems to have a problem with gay people but the fandom thinks he’s gay. Dex seems to hate fixing things but finds it rewarding.
Dex seems to hate Nursey. Dex loves Nursey?
anyways let’s talk about whiskey
and how his first semester of college has been so, so hard for him.
He comes from a big family, one where he’s never alone but still understands his introversion, and knows that he’s content just sitting in the corner and observing.
His hockey team was his happy place, filled with teammates and nothing more, no complicated friendships.
Now, he’s hundreds of miles away from his family. Now, instead of hockey practices being quiet, filled with only calls to pass the puck and comments from coaches; they’re raucous, filled with laughter and inside jokes he’s always on the outside of.
The team hates him for not hanging out with them, he knows this. He can sense it, their silent judgement and side-eyes even as he raises an eyebrow in return and tries to act strong, like it doesn’t bother him. It does.
He can’t tell them that he’s too busy crying in his room to spend time with them. That he only hangs out with the lax bros because his roommate is one of them, and they don’t mind him sitting in the corner and saying nothing.
Get it together, Whiskey tells himself. Stop crying. Go to the campus counselor, maybe your depression medication needs to be adjusted. Go to the campus ministry meeting, maybe someone there will accept you. Do what you need to so you can hang out with the team, so they don’t hate you more than they do already.
He makes an effort to be at the Haus more, but it’s horrible. Bitty mothers him, which only makes him miss his own mother more. There should be fresh tortillas coming from the kitchen, not pies. Ransom and Holster interrogate him; Dex and Nursey argue; Whiskey shrinks away.
Never has Whiskey been so surrounded by people but felt so alone.
It’s November when Tango finds him in the library, staring at his books, too exhausted and drained to study.
“Can I sit here?” Tango asks, bearing his own textbooks, and Whiskey can only manage a nod yes.
After twenty minutes, Tango looks between Whiskey and the pages he hasn’t touched once. “Todo bien?” he asks. “How can I help you?”
Whiskey feels his eyes well with tears. It’s the first time he’s heard Spanish spoken here. And it’s the first time anyone has asked out of concern how he’s doing.
Because everything isn’t good. But with Tango’s hand on his back, his face full of concern and support, Whiskey thinks that he might have his first friend at college.
He might have a chance at things getting better.
Everyone in the Haus eventually get sick of Tango’s questions, so they give him a ouija board and tell him to ask the ghosts instead
Contrary to popular belief it actually works and before they know it Tango has solved seven of the ten weird shity mysteries™ of the Haus, as most of them involved Jenny and Mandy getting bored in some way or another
tango is honestly the most effective at chirping on the team and he isn’t even trying?? but like anytime the other team screws up it’s “were you actually aiming for the goal?” or “who were you trying to pass to anyway?” or just “did you do that on purpose or…??”
once he asked one of the opposing d-men “what position do you play?” mid-game and the dude just. lost it.
literally so here for nursey losing his chill this year. im so here for him to become the dramatic nerd child he his on the inside. i want him to get jealous of dex being better friends with whiskey right off the bat and i want him to write twenty poems about it and grumpily stare at dex at breakfast and i want dex to be like “whats ur deal nurse maybe you should just. like–” “don’t finish that sentence dex.”
Prompt: Dex gets hit. Hard. As in he goes unconscious for a few minutes. Nursey is not ok
It happens in slow motion, and every single fucking detail
is burned into Nursey’s mind. He doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to forget the
sound Dex made as he crashed into the boards, or the lurching in his stomach
when the ref blew the whistle and Dex wasn’t
getting up, why isn’t he getting up, Jesus Christ Dex please get up.
I was thinking about the sexual orientations of all the check please characters and like what if tango is questioning?
He could spend the WHOLE year researching different sexualities and terms, trying out different identities. Everyone in the Haus kind of gets in on it too – Ransom gets out the Excel spreadsheet to make sure they’re not missing any possibilities, Holster prepares a few power point presentations and the team learns a bunch of stuff along the way.
They devote like, a fortnight to the Kinsey scale, which is very enlightening.
And sometime around Christmas, Dex is all – oh, demisexual, that’s a thing? and has a considering face every time Nursey is around.
When Shitty finally gets a long enough break to come visit, Ransom and Holster introduce him to Tango with a look of trepidation and glee. “Shits, you have to meet Tango, he has so many questions.”
Bitty nervously gathers his friends one afternoon in the late winter to tell them that he and Jack are dating. Jack is planning on coming out at the end of the season, so Bitty wants to give them all some warning. They’re all happy for them of course, but a few are a little hurt Jack and Bitty had kept it from them for so long.
“I’m sorry, y’all. I hated lying to you, but it just wasn’t the time yet. I feel so bad about not telling you– something as big and as important as that!” Bitty wrings his hands and apologizes again. The rest of the team is nodding their forgiveness, but Dex looks more and more uncomfortable with each word.
“Anything you’d like to share with the class?” Lardo asks casually. Dex looks like he’s about to faint. She loves the kid, but heaven help her if he has a problem with Bitty and Jack…..
Dex blurts out, “I’m sleeping with Nursey!”
“Bruh,” Nursey says, sounding vaguely hurt. “There’s also, like, dates and shit, too.”
“Bitty’s right. It’s not something we should hide. And I’m sick of lying about it.”
“Wait, when did this happen?” Chowder asks, caught between astonishment and excitement (his natural state of being, but just stronger in this particular moment).
Dex flushes. “Like…..last year? After we lost the playoffs?”
“Right after,” Nursey confirms.
“Ah,” Holster says sagely. “Roadie magic. That’s when me and Rans first started hooking up.”
“WHAT?” squawks Bitty. Rans claps a hand on Holster’s shoulder. “Shit, bro, I think we forgot to tell them.”
“What else haven’t y’all been telling me?” Bitty demands, and after that, confessions start rolling in.
“I’ve had at least two drunken sexcapades with Shitty.”
“Lards, bro! Same!”
“Didn’t Johnson get it on with the other goalie that one time? Goalies are weird, man.”
“Hey, Ollie and Wicks are totally doing it, right?”
Then, amidst the increasingly loud and colorful tales of sexual exploits, Tango shouts, “I’ve thought about kissing Whiskey!”
The rest of the Haus falls silent, Ransom and Holster smothering giggles. Whiskey calmly looks Tango up and down. “Huh. Cool. Let’s do that sometime.”
–
That night when Jack asks Bitty how it went telling the team, Bitty sighs helplessly. “Honey, I don’t know where to begin.”
my first try at nursey and dex
*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
edit: I forgot nursey’s tattoo and nobody called me out on it
just moving along like everyone else
