for the rest of their lives any person who has been a member of SMH has gotten the same confusion squinting thrown in their direction: "Wait. Justin. You baked these cookies?" "Who made this pie—Anthony?" "Will, these are the most perfect pancakes I've ever—" "Larissa, you could enter these into a contest. Holy shit." "Okay, Alexei, where did you buy these?" And everyone is like: "Oh, yeah, I had this friend in college—" "Yeah, I got really good at baking in college—" "A friend taught me how to make two dozen pancakes while hungover—" "Yeah. It's an award-winning recipe. I learned it from a friend—" "Not store bought; I made them!!"

i love how this fandom throws our boys into the nhl after college but please consider the comedy potential of post-bitty graduates either being refs or commentators and having to rein back their absolute adoration for one jack zimmermann

[randomnoteforfuturereference]

Okay but Dex not only being competant but absolutely dreaded as a ref/lineman.

We already know that he’s a control freak and rules-obsessed, and his ears hear everything.

Jack and Chowder would scoff at anyone who thinks that Dex is gonna be lenient on them.

"You haven't seem him with a sin bin."

[zimmerdouche]

facts facts facts

particularly rowdy players try to get in his face as a ref and he’s reciting “do not hit them do not hit them” as if they’re affirmations

any chance he gets to eject he does. it’s like a high

[exhuastedpigeon]

I think my favorite NurseyDex headcanon is Dex accidentally yelling that he’s gay when Nursey mentions that Dex is straight or that he didn’t mean to weird Dex out with his crush. 

[demheter-deactivated20181130]

not even in a heated argument or anything. like. theyre watching a movie and dex is like “i dont understand, why would he do that?” and nurse is like “of course you don’t get it, you’re straight” and they go back to watching the movie and a few minutes later, when nurse has completely forgotten the exchange and is now thinking about lunch, dex just goes “iM GaY” in the weirdest, loudest voice ever

[frogbaker]

thinkin about Chowder and Dex's friendship

dex: *about to boil over with rage about an assignment for class*

chowder: *tosses a fluffly blanket over Dex's head* maybe you should watch some kittens named after foods get adopted into their furrever homes and maybe you'll calm down

dex:*muffled* thank you

[jackzimmermemes]

No but I absolutely love this. Dex encouraging Chow to get mad when he needs to is great.

[a-very-gay-disaster]

on a sunny day the frogs' senior year

nursey: so we all had a crush on bitty right

chowder: little bit yea

dex: had?

[a-very-gay-disaster]

some of my favorite tags to come from this gaining far more traction than i thought it would: #dex’s bitty crush just takes on different forms #it looks different but it’s always there

#bitty will always be dex’s unattainable catch #the lobster that got away😔✋🏻

#dex is actively campaigning to be jack and bitty’s third

#wait prev prev hdjdjdndns dex after fixing betty the 23rd time 'uk if u ever need a helping hand in... other depts im here' #bitty thinks dex is being a good considerate friend. dex is talking abt handjobs.

#Dex: He was my gay awakening #Dex: Okay i lied Jack was #Dex: The fact they are together was a confusing time for me #Chowder: How about now? #Dex: No still confusing

[incorrect-omgcp-frogs]

Nursey, reading: hmm queer coding

Dex, working on his programming: ayuh. Trying to.

[decaf-draws-deactivated20230923]

saw this screenshot quote from Ngozi on my dash awhile back and it made me laugh, so it’s tonight’s kissing practice prompt (ignore the hat, it was a whole thing)

(promise to make the next art post not nurseydex lmao)

[omgcheckplease]

Dex: (instigating) Chowder: touch the lobster, nursey!!! Nursey: i can’t believe my friends to whom i’ve only shown love and kindness would treat me this way A knock out illustration by @mynameismad for the Check, Please!: Year Four Kickstarter!

“All right, I’m just gonna start reading it out loud.” “I’m not helping you.” “’However, it’s interesting—’” “—Dex, you can’t start an essay with however. What? Contractions? Why?”

It really is the end of an era for me, omg check please and the fandom surrounding it got me through so much. Having such beautiful and heartfelt and fun queer media to look up to helped me love myself, and I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for these characters. I’ve grown so much as an artist and as a person since I started drawing these dumb sport boys. Thank u ngozi for all your hard work, and I hope y’all enjoy this dramatic dexy portrait for the occasion.
