i just checked and that extra is before Bitty coming out to Ransom and Holster (it's at page 5 if you look at the blog in chronological order, while Bitty comes out at page 15)
THANK YOU! I knew there was a way to figure that out but Iām working right now (not on tumblr shhhh) so I didnāt have time to do it!
This is actually super interesting because it implies that at least Holster may have suspected (?) Bitty was gay-- or he was thinking Bitty would connect to theĀ āeffeminate boyā part of the ask?
BASICALLY NOW I HAVE QUESTIONS.
Also, Iāve always needed like 100k of Bittyās friendship with Ransom and Holster as it develops... like, what made these huge d-man decided that eric r. bittle was to be taken in and protected at all costs. Where are the other frogs of eric r bittleās year? Why did he start hanging out with the sophomores? Like did Ransom and Holster just see him and think to their collective, shared mind āwe will protect this one. he is our friend now. forever.ā or did bitty gravitate to them for some reason? Was bitty the little awkward freshmen who kind of slid himself into their friendship and then they loved him? LIKE HOW DID THIS DEVELOP??? I NEED TO KNOW!! THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.Ā
Like, seriously, bitty and shitty sorta make sense because shitty is ranting about social justice and bitty has to find that comforting, especially after georgia and being friends (or at least sitting close to) Jack comes with being friends with Shitty and obviously R&H are in the Haus so like that is one avenue of friendship but also Bitty didnāt liveĀ in the Haus freshmen year but by winter screw, Ransom and Holster are His People (tm)so I am going to NEED MORE.Ā Ā Right now there are just too many options bopping around in my brain.
Was Bitty just good enough at hockey that he was automatically put up with the older players in practice and that carried over to his social life? (that happens with athletes!)
Did Bitty first gravitate towards Shitty and then R&H just like... took him in too? Did Shitty tell themĀ āyo this is the cool frogā?
Did they share a class together? Bitty didnāt even realize it but he turns up to some english class and there are the two huge boys from his hockey team and hes going to sit by himself, or maybe with some other freshmen he recognizes from his hall but then--Ā āBITTTSS!! YOUāRE TAKING THIS CLASS TOO- SWAWESOME, CMERE- THIS PERSON WILL MOVEā *holster lifts unsuspecting person from desk to make room*Ā āBITTLE! OVER HEREEE!!āĀ āSeriously, brah, first rule of hockey, we sit next to each other in class. always. in the fucking bylaws.ā
Did Bitty just draw the short stick of the frogs and get forced to sit next to these two huge men? Like wouldnāt he naturally try to avoid them because we all know Bitty is not okay with too much physical contact and i swear in 9/10 panels R&H and all over each other. (Which is because they are in love, yes, but also they just seem like grabby bros! bitty wouldnāt like that-- HOW DID THIS FRIENDSHIP HAPPEN? WHEN DID R&H LEARN TO BE MORE CAREFUL WITH BITTY?)
Did Bitty start out asĀ āthat frog that makes pies in our houseā and then becomeĀ āthat frog we will die defending?ā
Did Bitty secretly impress them with his like crazy funny witty humor? Snark? Sarcasm? Was Bitty the only one who would watch Real Housewive with Holster? Or was that after the friendship was established?
Did Bitty get checked a little in the first game and then R&H DESTROYED the guy and Bitty tried to bake them a thank you pie and R&H were likeĀ āuh, weāre d-men. thatās our job.ā but then ALSO realizeĀ āThis Southern One Needs Usā and commit themselves to defending Bitty Always Without Question?
