idk about you but I think shruti deserves more hype than some white side character

like I want to know what her major is or what her girlfriend is like or what she and bitty do together outside of school

[poindexterslaboratory]

Nursey: can I walk you home? My moms always said to follow my dreams

Dex: jokes on you, my mom said I’m a fucking nightmare

[poindexterslaboratory]

we’re all mosaics of the people we love and all that. now imagine the look of pure horror on dex’s face when he says chill unironically for the first time

[poindexterslaboratory]

Nursey works very hard at soft launching his relationship with Dex vs. Dex who hard launches it with the first photo of nursey out of uniform that he posts is at their wedding

my texting headcanon for the smh gang, presented without explanations:

bitty uses proper grammar 90% of the time, and proper punctuation+capitalization 100% of the time. he does use basic internet slang (omg, lol, btw), but he capitzalizes that, too. boy takes the quality of his tweeting very seriously. he's also a huge fan of emojis and has a kamoji keyboard on his phone.

jack... could not care less for capitalizing. everything is lowercase. his perspective on texting is that it should take as little time as possible. he'd probably use proper grammar if he ever wrote more than five words in a row. he is a big fan of the ':-)' smiley, however.

holster is a reddit memer meets tumblr white girl. he texts like there's still a character limit to texts ("y u do this 2 me bro"), uses acronyms no one but ransom can translate (holster: "we're just a bogsat" dex: "???" rans: "bunch of guys sitting around talking"), and responds to things with 'KFVHH:+ASKJ!!'. he's never heard of a comma in his life.

ransom keeps everything in lowercase because he thinks it, like, looks better. he turned off autocorrect so his i's and first word in sentences won't be accidentally uppercase. he's an expert at using gifs to convey a message, and is one of those people who breaks every text into five different messages (jack's phone keeps buzzing and he wants to kill him).

shitty abuses capitals, and it always reads like he's screaming things that shouldn't be screamed. he can also text full sentences in emojis sometimes and expects to be understood (shitty: "🎀📝🏃➡️🏠🥧" bitty: "????" lardo: "tied up homework, on my way to the haus, leave me some pie").

lardo is the queen of using embarrassing pictures of the boys as stickers. she refuses to share, and also refuses to tell them how she got some of the pictures (lardo: "it's 2am" lardo: [sticker of nursey sleeping open-mouthed in his dorms, titled 'go the fuck to sleep'] nursey: "how"). she doesn't use exclamation points or question marks, at all. only full stops.

chowder on the other hand tends to use too many exclamation points and not enough full stops. he has the chronic problem of leaving the group chat on read without replying because he laughs at the texts and then forgets to answer, but he actually checks his phone the most other than bitty, and so is always the first to know things.

dex always has autocorrect on because he hates having to go back and correct typos, which makes his sentences the opposite of ransom's (i's and first letters always capitzalized). it also means he has autocorrect incidents a lot, and gets chirped for it, a lot. he's a firm opposer of emojis and cannot be convinced otherwise.

nursey is the only one who learned the bolding/italicizing system on whatsapp, and he uses it often (dex can't figure it out and it drives him insane). he also never checks if he's texting the right person, so the group chat gets an unprecedented amount of embarrassing texts that aren't meant for them. it also works the other way around, which makes several of his classmates even more wary of smh.

since so many people are coming out as exclusionists, lemme just let yall know, my blog is a safe space for all genders and sexualities. asexuality is part of the lgbtq+ community and pansexuality is super fucking valid. we dont support exclusionists here.

Aunt Judy ain't one to brag, but she may have been responsible for the founding of Samwell University, Providence Falconers, and twitter.

aus i have seen: jack and eric didn’t go to samwell together, and they instead meet because bitty works for the falconers in some way. usually in pr/marketing.

au i have not seen: when jack joins the falconers, bitty works specifically for tater, as some sort of personal assistant/social media wrangler/occasional translator/provider of pies. tater and bitty are both pretty upbeat guys who clearly get along very well, and jack can’t quite figure out what the relationship is there. are they flirting? are they already dating? is this chirping? are they like this with everyone? even as he starts getting closer with both of them individually, he can’t figure it out and he’s far too awkward to ask either of them outright. tater has become one of jack’s closest friends in providence, and even if he wasn’t, he doesn’t want to steal his teammate’s boyfriend. but he really likes bitty. meanwhile, bitty is totally into jack and he’s flirting his little ass off every chance he gets. and he gets plenty of chances because tater totally ships them and keeps trying to shove them together. he’s on the brink of locking them in a closet together. both of them are just waiting for jack to get his head out of his ass, and neither of them realize what jack’s problem is. tater is sure that jack likes bitty, but bitty is less sure. jack’s been sending all of these mixed signals and he’s still not sure that jack isn’t straight. eventually all of the misunderstandings are worked out and tater is their #1 fan, as long as he still gets pie.

i may be short but that doesn’t mean you’re not about to experience the wrath of a god

jack zimmermann is one of those people you don’t realize you’re friend friends with until he does something ridiculous like collect all your notes and assignments without being asked when you’re really sick or insists on picking you up from the train station at midnight so you’re not spending money on a cab or stuck there until the buses start running and then when he does these things you realize woah zimmernelly this dude and I are ride-or-die now I gotta officiate his wedding or give him my kidney and that’s how it is between the two of you until the end of time.
