I don’t even know where to start with this 1) Nursey’s hand on Dex’s back 2) the eyes or 3) the fact that Nurse is trying to convince Dex to live with him
About what I see as the biggest moment for Jack and Bitty as individuals as well as a couple?
The newest comic definitely hearkens back to the biggest tension so far this year– Bitty’s breakdown in the previous update over the stress of keeping it secret from everyone– and his doubts over how serious Jack is about this relationship.
But as we saw in that rainy entryway, Jack’s not just thinking about his career. And “team” means something more than just “the people you play ice sport with”.
This isn’t just personal growth for Jack 110% Zimmermann, this whole arc has shown Bitty coming to understand that they’re both in this relationship together, and it’s the motherfuckin’ culmination of communication.
After all of this, Bitty’s coming to accept that he matters to Jack, but it’s also okay to matter to himself. He doesn’t want to meet Jack’s teammates as anything other than his boyfriend, and he says so. And that is what leads to my number one moment that puts a fuckin’ BOW on this whole fear of Bitty’s:
At the end of the day, Jack loves two things.
Hockey: cons include Expectations, Spotlight, Anxiety
Bitty: “a few risks” “it’s scary, but”
Just, the way Jack’s little speech here is weighted is amazing. Their relationship has a few risks, but it’s worth it. Those risks are nothing to him compared to the shit he faces for his other love.

Ransom’s so high strung and Nursey values chill; even though they occasionally share eyerolls over White Nonsense, Nursey honestly wants to be more like Holster–smiling, obviously enjoying himself, confident in his weird interests and strident in his niche opinions. Ransom cares too obviously for Nursey’s comfort.
Dex sees Ransom having a panic attack under a table and crawls in beside him, knees tucked up to his chest. Ransom looks at him. “If I don’t ace this class my parents will be so disappointed in me.”
“Bro,” Dex says, and offers him a fist to bump.
year 1 jack: who are you
year 3 jack: im you but emotionally stable, happy, and in a loving and supportive relationship
okay so there have been a number of dexnursey fics involving nursey and his poetry? but in all of them dex figures out pretty quickly that they are about him, or nursey tells him? and I just like the idea that dex is completely oblivious to the fact that nursey is completely gone on him, and instead thinks that nursey must be crushing on someone else and so constantly chirps him about them. meanwhile poor nursey is doing everything in his power to keep his chill while desperately trying to keep dex from realising who they’re actually about?
just moving along like everyone else
