i’m reading a fic where bitty is NONCHALANT???? ooc baddddd
You know, I love all the characters from the Game Changers Universe, but for some reason, even if I think they are really cute, Skip is my least favorite of them all.
At least a little of that is the fact that they feel like they are the Most Written For the Straight Gaze couple by far, but there was something else I couldn't put my finger on.
I was thinking about it just now, and I realized that its because I already have one set of queer hockey boys who break the internet by kissing on the ice after one of them has just won the Stanley Cup, and that is my perennial favorite boys Jack Zimmermann and Eric "Bitty" Bittle. I just think there is a little more situational tension in the Check Please! verse because the tension is not about staying closeted killing their relationship, its Bitty's family, Jack's past with anxiety/meds/Parse/his father's legacy that makes it more cathartic when the kiss.
Like, I'm not complaining here, this is very much a 'wow two cakes!' type situation. I just really love the Check Please verse more for this specific storyline.
Also it makes it really hard to do a crossover, bc now you gotta remove one of them from being the first, and that kinda makes it not fun to do a crossover.
i’ve been re-reading check please just thinking about how a tv show would work.
a’s thoughts about a check, please! screen adaptation
since it starts when bitty is 18, the vibe has to be a cross between the innocence of heartstopper and the risqué-ness of heated rivalry
we obviously divide the seasons the way ngozi does the books, where we get the first kiss at the end of s1
but i need to see bitty and jack falling, i want andi mack levels of look backs (I've never seen that show)
but do we adapt to in the current year? or keep it in the 2010s? - i think the vibe of overcompensating is perfect where you’re not sure what decade it is but there’s a LOT of nostalgia
how serious do we want it to be, in terms of the realities of frat life with hockey boys
IT NEEDS TO BE FUNNY. and very campy. check, please! is so good because it is pure camp
bitty as a vlogger
And if I said every single song from the great divide is about Kent and Jack
Beyoncé surprise released a song today, how is my good friend Eric “Bitty” Bittle doing today?
ok so I couldn't find any Jack/Bitty or general @omgcheckplease playlists on spotify and this simply won't do if I'm gonna reread it all to get ready for year five so! I made my own
if you have a playlist or song recs send them my way <3
Words of wisdom from our favorite Southern hockey player:
"Crushes are stressful. Dating is disappointing. Every relationship you either breakup or get married then divorced. Pies can't hurt you."
-Eric Bittle, 2015
