Bitty: This story was basically made for us!
Jack: What are you talking about? They’re nothing like us.
Bitty: Well, that’s not what I meant but also, nothing? Sweetpea, come on. One’s gay and one’s bi, they’re hockey players, they’re closeted, they have to sneak around, they don’t live in the same place and they miss each other.
Jack, whose main thought was this would be akin to Bitty hooking up with a guy from Yale and was getting so angry about the situation he made up in his head he was gearing up to drive to Yale to fight the whole team unassisted: Oh. Haha. Yeah.
there was a funny moment in my life where i was really into 9-1-1 the tv show while simultanously being into omgcp (this is actually a constant for me) and i ended up putting together this detailed crossover AU where after uni dex joins the los angeles kings as a free agent and nursey moves with him to LA, where he decides to become a firefighter and joins the 118 station
my concept would be that because dex is not out, they keep the details of their relationship a secret, but obviously nursey can't hide the fact that he's dating his college sweetheart who is a menace and so grumpy and difficult and annoying but also the Love Of His Life. everyone in the 118 is like omg 💖 gay love 🥰 introduce us to your boyfriend! and nursey says i would love to but he's just so busy with his work.........
some funny hijnks in the middle like maybe one time halfway through work they stop at nursey's place to pick up something and he lives in this huge amazing house in manhattan beach. everybody’s like dude... how do you afford this... and nursey says it's because of my boyfriend.... he works in finance..... and then nobody asks any further questions because finance is boring
months passing by and people starting to worry that nursey's boyfriend doesnt actually exist because he never brings him over, he has no photos of him on social media, plus he sounds too good to be true like hot and rich and willing to listen to nursey talk about poetry (the Love is Real y'all)??? yeah very questionable
anyway anyway eventually dex feels bad nursey has to hide his relationship from the world's gayest firestation and makes it to a party at bobby's place where absolutely no one recognises him until one of the kids walks into the room and he's like IS THAT WILLIAM "DEX" POINDEXTER, ALTERNATE CAPTAIN FOR THE LA KINGS AND LEADING DEFENCE MAN IN POINTS IN THE NHL SEASON 2017/2018? and yeah. it is.
it’s kind of hysterical to me that the omgcp fandom has made a meal out of every offhand line and tertiary character and yet. nary a peep on dex’s abundance of uncles. deeply underappreciated gag that dex is basically an expert at just about every form of manual labor under the sun specifically bc he had an uncle to teach him every single one. whatever you need, my man’s got an uncle for that. he’s swimming in uncles that wanna show you what they’re working on out in the garage. every time a fic has dex go home and there’s not at minimum two uncles i am casting judgement! does he have an embarrassment of highly specialized uncles? just a few incredibly handy uncles?? canonically nobody knows how many he has - does DEX even know???? like there is a whole sandbox here we’re not playing in.
been thinking a lot about crossover check please/heated rivalry content and I've gotta say....while I do believe Ilya and Bitty would get on like a house on fire (and i WILL be talking about this later)....I have to disagree that Shane and Jack would be hockey robot besties
like, yes, they both have the hockey autism but as any autistic will tell you, this does not guarantee friendship. and those two are so fucking awkward all the time. no, they would not be besties, they have zero interests in common outside of hockey. they would be relegated to watching games in silence on the couch like two undersocialized dads while their boyfriends are causing chaos together like the gremlins they are
most key thing to remember re: nurseydex is that that is NOT their best friend. bc for both of them their best friend is and always will be Chris ‘Chowder’ Chow, for whom they will not stop fighting but would commit truly any amount of murder. chowder is always and forever the unspoken third person in that relationship. that’s their goalie dude like that’s their favorite fucking guy!!!!
Very niche heated rivalry post but i am a Hayden stan I fear. Ally of all time and i dont mean about the gay thing bc he dont know about that but hayden is a Good Friend to mr undiagnosed autism over there and i really appreciate it. Immediately pushing through the picky eating excuse and accommodating Shane's eating habits unquestioned for years without challenging him on the routine. Inviting him out to chill low stakes social outings with just him and his family doing stuff like going to the aquarium. Allistic people who will just carry your autistic ass around with them while you do a B+ job of keeping up with their banter are so rare but they are so beautiful. This one goes out to Hayden u are so important to me. Yes the ginger ale metaphor about Ilya but did anyone notice Jacki keeps ginger ale in the house for Shane.
#emotional support extrovert who will explicitly invite you to be a weird cat in their space
@iswearimreformed that's it exactly
Jack Zimmermann saw Shane sitting up in the middle of the night stewing over cap space and team rivalries and nodded along. Normal.
Check Please Year 5 announcement immediately after Heated Rivalry finale
holster at his first family weekend: woah, bad bob, more like bad bod! how is he still in such good shape?
jack: i'm begging you never say that again
holster: do you mind if i go talk to your dad?
jack: yes i fucking do
the way ngozi has clearly been thinking about a year 5 for ages and says explicitly that shes been working on it for over a year.......... and how she probably meant to drop the news in 2026 (theres that one con shes supposed to appear at in march that said she had news to announce) BUT!!!!! ☝️ with heated rivalry's success and us talking about omgcp more she was like. call me santa the way im gonna drop the best xmas present my fans could have ever hoped for
HOLY SHIT
GUYS IM UP IM HERE WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK
my friends r sending me heated rivalry clips of a player kissing his bf (?) on national tv after winning the cup and all i can think of was wow that also happened to my close personal friends jack and bitty
