#and nick is a little b*tch alright but coach is nice to him

[itsmeglycine]

why do you ship nick and coach? 👀

I figured this is a really unpopular ship so I'll put my rant below the cut!

I mean, look at their in-game dialogue!! They have this... classic "complainer & problem solver" dynamic?? And Coach is the only person who's earned Nick's genuine respect, to the point that he gets to scold Nick / poke fun at him/ tell him what to do without Nick talking back- and that's like, half of Nick's character development???? Nick attitude goes from provocative egotistic bravado to silently acknowledging Coach as their team leader- it's just 👌👌👌?? Looking at how these two interact is like watching episodes of Dog Whisperer wow I'm so normal about it

(BTW, Nick's defibrillator line for Coach "You're not leaving me with those two" I'm sO NoRMal ABouT iT

I shipped them back before I even played the game, and I seriously could not believe the fact that there's almost no content about this ship???? 😭😭 (There's ONE writer who wrote about them and that's it! Where's my sustenance??? Am I living in the false timeline???)

((P.S. I'm probably projecting because I'M that person who complains about everything all the time just for the sake of complaining... Like, I don't expect people to console me, I just want to let it out and move on. And I have this friend who would actually listen and always come back later to tell me "Here, I've solved it for you. How are you feeling?" That moment of realization, mad respect and self-reflection is just... Do you get me??? Ougghhhh yeah I'm definitely projecting.))
