Hey bud.

Old memes! Old memes!

Reclamation

Holsom is about loving someone who is your true other half, almost exactly like you but also balances you out when need be, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt they're your soulmate.

Shardo is about loving someone without knowing if they love you the same way, but still knowing they love you, and being perfectly okay with that.

10 years into his NHL career, PR finally convinces Jack to make a Twitter and absolutely no one was prepared for how good he’d be at it (Bitty takes all the credit)

I want to talk about this panel from Sticks and Scones real quick:

I have seen so many movies and tv shows where the main couple is trying to hide their relationship and something like what Jack and Bitty do in the first three panels happens. Usually, though, after that, everything is awkward and the couple gets into a fight or something or feelings are hurt. Basically, when a couple is trying to hide their relationship and they are in public, almost always, the relationship subsequently gets strained.

 But instead of that happening, Jack being an S tier boyfriend (and Ngozi a good writer), makes sure Bits understands that despite hiding, he still loves and cares about him and wants to “take the long way back to campus, eh?”

“Bitty.”

he already had a built in fanbase that would have increased with national exposure, and considering it’s been 3 in-world years by 2020 he’s already an established brand. 

- Holsom is the “oh my god I’ve loved you forever I can’t believe you’re in love with me too” trope

- and Zimbits is the “oh” slash “of course it’s you” trope
