The first Falconers game after Bitty and Jack get married, the falconers pull off a big prank on them. In which every player on the starting line (and everyone else) is introduced as [Last Name]-Bittle. Like in that friends episode where Courtney gets married and asked for the opening credits to be changed to CoxArquette to show it and instead they changed everyones last name to Arquette

And they all have jerseys made special for that first game and Jack is laughing the whole game and Bittle’s in the line up just cheering on everyone.

At the end the Falconers social media channel posts a picture with everyone in their Bittle jersey and the caption is like “The Falconers and their husband, food network star and author Eric Bittle”

Been thinking about Bitty getting invited to guest star on some variety competition show where the challenge that week is to bake with those drunk goggles on. They're just making some basic vanilla cupcakes, and he's up against another baking YouTuber and a comedian who appears in every episode to add levity to the competition.

Obviously the comedian isn't doing too great, but that's kind of the whole point of him being there. The other baker isn't doing terribly, just a lot of missing things when he reaches for them or accidentally knocking things over.

Bitty, on the other hand, is absolutely crushing this baking challenge. Not only are his cupcakes fluffy and delicious, he finishes them in like half the time everyone else takes. The channel didn't give them anything to pipe the icing with so he puts his buttercream in a zip lock bag, cuts off one corner, and pipes them to perfection. The whole time he's doing this he's telling a story about how he once made eight pies in one night all between rounds of beer pong. He also talks about the time he made a perfect clafoutis (a type of French fruit tart) on the night the Falconers won the Stanley Cup despite being nearly black out drunk.

Needless to say, Bitty gets invited back three more times to do more drunk baking challenges.

OKAY HI, THOUGHTS @adambirkholtz​ had an excellent post about symbolism and the number that Bitty wears in his flashback and it got me thinking about Bitty’s football position and i went off in the tags (soz about that em) but here’s a post ab it, idk if anyone else has ever said anything about this but here’s what i remembered about that update

 so i don’t know a whole lot about football, it is neither my primary nor my secondary nor my tertiary sport, but i know enough that this is something i just realized. 

So Bitty wears no. 15 in the flashback in Check and yeah it’s a concussion induced flashback so maybe he’s just wearing no. 15 because that’s his number, but I also think it means something

(also sidenote he’s adorable)

and in football you only kind of get to choose your numbers, basically your number correlates to your position and there’s a range you can pick from/be assigned. All that’s important to know here is that quarterbacks wear numbers from 0-19. 

So, Bitty was a quarterback. and here’s the thing about a quarterback. Traditionally it is the safest and most secure position in football. If your teammates are playing the game right, no one should ever lay a hand on you unless it’s part of the play. You should still be able to hold your own, but you’re protected. As a quarterback, your job is to call signals and communicate with your team and guide the play. Quarterback can be small, especially in youth sports because what’s really important is your ability to throw the ball and understand plays. 

So all that being said

This

should almost never happen. 

There are specific members of a football team whose entire job it is to protect the quarterback and for this to have happened, they were either really bad, or they intentionally let Bitty get hurt. 

I don’t think Bitty’s fear of physicality came from simply playing football, it came from being on a team where no one had his back even though positionally, they were absolutely supposed to. It’s not that he’s just afraid of getting hurt or getting hit, he’s afraid of being abandoned and alone and left to fend for himself while he’s playing a team sport. 

It makes SMH’s unofficial motto of “got your back” mean just a little bit more

I would be enchanted to know more about the captains picking up the SMH legacy, Dex, Hops, etc!!

If you love tasty treats and anything delectable, I highly suggest you pre-order Victoria’s debut graphic novel YUMMY: A History of Desserts. If the cover doesn’t have you salivating, I’m not sure you can be helped!

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)

Based off of these tweets by Tony Hawk which gave me BIG Jack Zimmermann vibes…so this was born-

[chirpingbitty]

“No no no, come on, Shits, don’t tell them about that.” “Braaah, if we don’t, who will? Tradition and legacy and goddamn heritage and all that. Seniors gots responsibilities, son.”

[chirpingbitty]

“You know the difference between you and me? I make this look good.” “Whatever you say, Holtzy.”

Firebender! Holster and Jack because my social feeds have been full of Avatar lately. <3

No, but I drew him anyway.
