1. What Were You Gonna Say Before Deflecting Eric Richard Bittle

2. bitty assuming he won't see jack all summer and potentially for longer. jack assuming bitty knew he'd drive up before the season started. there's something here about bitty's abandonment issues and how he assumes jack won't wanna make time to see him but also how jack is so giving with his love (and also so bad at communicating his feelings) that upon hearing this he's just like what? of course i'll come see you. of course of course of course i will.

eric "who could love me" bittle versus jack "i love him on purpose" zimmermann and jack "i am unworthy" zimmermann versus eric "i love him on purpose" bittle

I know we already have tons of great fic about Jack’s 4th of July visit to Madison, but now that we know what bitty’s childhood room actually looks like, I’m gonna need someone to write one where they finally get alone in bitty’s room…only to have Jack get totally distracted by bitty’s trophy shelf and ask tons of highly detailed questions

after ten minutes bitty’s like ‘ok, sweetheart, I’m so glad you’re taking an interest, but can we make out now?’

but Jack is like ‘wait, go over the scoring system with me again? because you got second place in this one, and I feel like we need to examine the possibility of bias in the judges’

Had a dream last night that my town was putting on a parade for Jack Zimmermann because he was a real person and in town. Basically the whole town was there.

Ollie and Wicky's love language being fist bumps and neck touches is actually really important to me.

bad bob zimmermann cried when his son graduated and if you ask him about it he wholeheartedly admits to crying and starts telling you about how much he loves is son and how proud he is & he might even start showing you some pictures of jack again and honestly if you don’t walk away too soon he might get choked up a lil bit and tons of people thinks it’s ridiculous but what bad bob doesn’t tell them is that the worst feeling he ever experienced was the way his heart seemed to ice over when he had to face the reality that he might not be a father anymore and he is just so gosh darn happy he doesn’t feel that way anymore because his son was so strong and he pulled through and he got better and bob loves him so much and he’s so proud and did he tell you about the one time one of jacks grade 11 history essays was published in an academic journal his son is so smart and

dex pining after openly out nursey, it's a classic we all love it okay BUT!!!!!!!! have we considered the far superior nursey pining after an openly queer dex??? will comes to Samwell after growing up in small town conservative Maine and dealing with homophobia on his Jr hockey teams and he decides he's not gonna hide at college he wants to be the role model he needed as a kid. and he absolutely Thrives!!! he's open and out and Radiant and he makes casual queer jokes with bitty and nursey (who is either closeted or hasn't realized his own identity yet) is just obsessed with him but doesn't understand Why so he just continues sulking and maybe staring a dex a bit too long during practice......

love william "what? this is gay? im gay??" poindexter as much as the next guy but i much prefer william "ive known im gay so long i forget to bring it up" poindexter vs a derek "i mean whos never had gay thoughts??" nurse & a denice "as a lesbian ally" ford

like if dex is confused abt queerness it's in the same vein as whiskey where they either dont even know it exists or do know but haven't connected it to themselves... and once they do it's like "well! thats a crisis for another day! got other shit to worry abt!!"

vs nursey & ford whos sexuality crisis takes up 54% of their anxious thoughts n they're just like "oh but everyone feels this way" and it's like... bestie... ur not gonna want to hear this one but.........

meanwhile tango is like "lady gaga was actually inspired to write born this way after she met me & my friends in elementary school" snsjsjsj

#special place in my heart for a dex whos not NOT closeted every1 just assumes hes straight #and he lets them #i have a headcanon that dex jokes abt gay stuff all the time ppl just think hes one of those straight bros who thinks acting gay is funny #u kno the old saying. nothing is gayer than a group of straight guys via @coachzimms

naur exactly exactly like dex is def anti-vulnerability and just... will not say it head on bc he doesnt think ppl need to know abt his sexuality BUT he slips and makes a self deprecating gay joke which begins derek "everyone has gay thoughts" nursey's theory that dex is a homophobe and instead of asking him head on abt it hes passive agressive (as an Ally!) and dex thinks nursey is being a performative ally to hide his discomfort w/ dex's gayness (or WORSE an elaborate attempt at annoying dex into coming out) which gets worse when dex realizes nursey hasn't realized he's queer yet and ok let me stop before i get too carried away

(the gag is bitty knows dex is gay bc he asked him after a fight w/ nursey and ransom knows nursey is def queer/bi bc he drunkenly complains abt his queer crisis sm [and ransom has been thru that same crisis] & bits + rans r both Very Aware their shit is just misplaced attraction and they're here for the ride!!)

If you’re still doing rarepairs, Jack/Tater is an absolute guilty pleasure of mine, and I’d love to see what you could come up with for them because your rarepairs are always just *hearteyes*

well FIRST of all here is a link to the last potatomann request i did in case you haven’t seen that yet! (my potatomann tag is,, unfortunately,, small)

jack 100% zimmermann learns russian as a surprise. there’s def at least 1 other russian guy on the falcs i mean this is the nhl we’re talking about??? so he practices w that guy on the dl and then surprises tater with it and tater almost LOSES HIS MIND

(he then immediately calls his mother whose english is quite minimal and whose french is nonexistent like MOM THE GUY I TOLD YOU ABOUT CAN TALK TO YOU NOW but in russian. jack absolutely charms her by being an absolute dork)

tater thinks jack’s neon yellow running shoes are like. amusingly ugly. so he buys himself a pair. they go jogging together in the morning with their matching ugly shoes and the potatomann shippers are both delighted and horrified

between the two of them they are the MOST popular people at family skate, kids gravitate to jack bc he talks to them like they’re actual people and tater is a tour de force of sociability and extroversion that takes all the adults by storm

they both dress like falcs gear is their uniform and the rest of the team hates it

you know how cats just kind of like,, sprawl on top of each other for no fucking reason? that. all the time

they both get into fights occasionally on the ice and they’re generally immune to most chirps about each of them as a person, but if someone chirps jack within tater’s earshot or vice versa they had better Watch The Fuck Out

however, also once jack dropped gloves because someone insulted tater’s mother. tater didn’t even drop gloves jack was just like SHE IS A LOVELY WOMAN GET HER NAME OUT OF YOUR FILTHY MOUTH

I really love the way RWRB cast an actor that was a lot taller than Alex's canonical height and played it completely straight, but if we get a Check Please show I want the actor who plays Bitty to be even shorter. Make that man 5'2" and surrounded by giants. I want him to have to stand on a box just to be seen in close up shots. This role is for short kings only
