Bits Please

Shitty: FUCK the Lax team

Whiskey:

Whiskey:

Jack says “finally.” They’re “finally” able to live together after Bitty graduates. That makes me think - how long exactly has Jack been waiting to live with Bitty? They’ve been together about a year and a half at this point, which is actually right around when my husband and I started living together. But he says finally, like he’s been waiting ages.

My guess is sometime between here and here:

#me remembering that as soon as jack realized he loves bitty he had to immediately start getting used to NOT living with him anymore#😩😩😩😭😭😭💖💖💖#finally. FINALLY

Katara: BOY???? HOT BOY?????? HOT TEENAGE BOY?????????

Zuko: *speaks*

And then it hit me.

Iroh: *sitting in a teahouse at a paisho table* Iroh, deadpan: I must capture the last airbender.  Iroh: It is the only way to make sure the powe rof the Avatar won’t be turned on the Fire Nation. Iroh: Only then will I be redeemed in the eyes of the Fire Lord for my failure at Ba Sing Se. Iroh: … Iroh: Anyway, it’s your turn.

‘The prince in the iceberg’

‘Avatar Zuko’

‘The Old Master’

‘Imprisoned’

‘Zuko’s Master’

Enter Bob. Hockey-mad Bob who meets Alicia at a party where he’s being introduced to one of her friends and who is just… floored… by this woman. It’s obvious. He’s head over heels before he even knows it - Alicia? Not so much. 

I mean, sure, he’s cute and he’s got a butt that just will not quit, but he’s also clueless about the things she’s interested in. He knows nothing about clothes, designers, photographers - nothing. He wears what he’s told. Jesus - he’s got a mullet. She’s not interested. 

I want Bob being very aware that Alicia is out of his league. He makes an effort. He gets his hair cut into something more fashionable - he thinks he looks a little like Tom Selleck, and suddenly he’s ‘the good looking one’ on the team. He starts to look at what famous pop stars and actors wear. 

Bad Bob is learning that he’s not going to be David Bowie but maybe he can get a suit that’s a little different, right? 

He learns about what's ‘hot’ and not from his sister, his friends girlfriends and wives - he has a few well meaning 80′s disaster fashion moments, but he gets through it. He reads fashion magazines and rolls his eyes at the chirps. He tries to remember who took the photograph. He may have a notebook. Jack gets his dorky nature from somewhere. 

The next time he meets Alicia he’s able to hold a decent conversation about her time in Milan. He knows who she worked with, he’s able to ask about things SHE LIKES.

She’s impressed. And after they’ve been dating a few months, she stays the night. 

Only to find that Bob has converted the bedroom next to his into a walk in closet fit for a queen.

“Well, I just thought… you know…” He shrugs. “You might want to hang some of your things up if you come over.”

So when she’s standing in Jack’s new apartment and sees the state of the art kitchen, the brand new appliances… 

“Who cooks, Bob?”

“Hm?”

“Who does Jack know that cooks?”

“No one.” He says, stretching out on the couch so that his arm falls over her shoulders. “I think that the Bittle kid bakes - remember the cookies?” He kisses her on the cheek because he can. God, she does love this man. “Why?”

- listen there’s no way Whiskey is cheating on his “high school girlfriend.” First off, the phrasing of “high school girlfriend” pretty much implies they’re not still together, otherwise Bitty would have just said “his girlfriend.” Honestly, we don’t know anything about this girl. Maybe Whiskey is bi and he truly dated her in high school! Maybe he’s gay and he dated her when he was still figuring out his sexuality and didn’t know whether he liked girls or not! Maybe she was a beard! Heck maybe she’s gay too and Whiskey was also HER beard!! Point is we don’t know but I guarantee Whiskey’s not a cheater. MY BOY WOULD NEVER

- speaking of I kind of wish the whole “high school girlfriend” thing is a miscommunication/misunderstanding rooted in heteronormativity. It would be really cool to see if Whiskey/his “high school girlfriend” never explicitly said they were dating/dated and the boys/Bitty’s assumption was based in heteronormativity! It would be a great reminder that even allies and queer people themselves can fall prey to heteronormativity once in a while simply because of how ingrained in society it is!!!
