Bitty: Hehlo, everyone, my name is Eric Bittle (imperceptibly smug) and this is my husband Jack.

i think as a fandom we need to discuss what the las vegas aces mascot would be

jack zimmermann in high school was like “i am insane 🤪😡 ” and that made him self destructive and kind of an asshole because he was overwhelmed and didn’t know why his brain was doing the things it was doing to him. And so he drank and he partied and he let kent parson pierce his ears one night after a party neither of them really wanted to be at, and he talked back to coaches because obviously he knew better than everybody. And everyone knew who Jack Zimmermann was in an “oh yeah, that motherfucker’s crazy,” kind of way, in a, “he walked the mile even though he’s a semi-professional athlete because he didn’t want to and he thought it was a waste of time,” way, in a , “did you hear that zimmermann blacked out last night and then scored a hat trick during the game?” kind of way

jack zimmermann in college was like, “i am insane 😔😶” and that made him feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility. He had to be so regimented, so strict with himself to keep anyone from knowing that his brain was doing the things it was doing to him. And so he studied and he didn’t come out of his room all that much and he practiced and went to class and practiced and he went on a couple dates and hung out with a couple friends, but on the whole, he kept it inside. Everyone knew who Jack Zimmermann was because no one else showed up to every single 8am American History lecture for an entire year without even thinking about skipping, no one has such a reliably consistent schedule. When people say he’s insane, it’s with a sense of reverence, he’s insanely disciplined, insanely dedicated, insanely strong. No more impulse, only actions that have been completely and utterly thought through.

jack zimmermann in the NHL is like “i am insane 🤷‍♂️😌” and that makes him play pranks in the locker room and pick bitty up and toss him over his shoulder for no reason, it makes him say, “have you ever thought about how i’d look with frosted tips?” half to see what George would say and half because he’s considering it. It makes him get a dog with more energy than he has. It makes him just say, “I’m getting grumpy, I’m gonna go home now, but this was a fun party,” without feeling bad about it. It makes him a little gentler with himself, it makes him fucking hilarious. It makes him go to therapy pretty regularly. It makes him text Tater at 2 in the morning to tell him that he just bought a “happy birthday” cake even though it’s nobody’s birthday so they can leave it in the player’s lounge to make everybody nervous and think they forgot someone’s birthday. jack zimmermann in the NHL is like, “i am insane, we knew that, let’s move on,” and good for him

i literally only live for ONE ship trope / dynamic and i have made my tastes and loyalty to this dynamic very known

[gay-hockey-hell]

everyone is so valid for the angst im kissing you all on the mouth. however i need to discuss the first time bitty made pot brownies as a gift for lardo for her birthday and was like "well i have to try one to see if they’re good" because he’s a respectable baker and then spent the next couple hours laying on the kitchen floor and making everyone who passed by come lay with him while he showed them pictures he had saved on his phone

KVP, drunk and exiting a club, answering a paparazzo sometime within the week following Jack’s Epic Coming Out™: “Was I ever in a relationship with Jack Zimmermann? That’s a good fucking question, you should ask him.”

[gay-hockey-hell]

i bet when shitty passes the bar smh starts saying “at the advice of my attorney…” in reference to every stupid, but shitty-approved thing they do, including gems like:

“At the advice of my attorney I will be drinking mimosas before 10am.”

“At the advice of my attorney I will be taking another shot.”

“At the advice of my attorney I will be making fourth of july picnic guests uncomfortable with open displays of homosexuality.”

“At the advice of my attorney I will be climbing this tree while drunk.”

“At the advice of my attorney I will be mixing this jungle juice in the tub.”

Where’s the junior year fic set from the POV of one of Jack’s neighbors, an overly tired yet observant doctor wondering about this quiet young professional hockey player and the bubbly young man who visits so often, someone who pieces it together before anyone else and does nothing but smile and nod whenever they pass in the hallway

being a fan of check please is just *reblogs comic update for the 5th time* *cries about the center ice parallels* *makes up another new headcannon about a minor character* *argues about the validity of holster’s knee injury* *reblogs the same 10 pieces of fanart* *sees the worst take about nursey & dex that you could possibly imagine* *get sad over pimms song lyrics edit* *reads meta post about ollie & wicks even though you still can’t tell them apart* *sees jackholtz takes that are so thought out you think they’re canon* *forgets what’s actually canon*
