The Bittles have always been quite susceptible to that Zimmermann Charm
Jack goes by “Bittle” when he wants to lay low, so can you imagine idk someone at Bitty’s cookbook publishing house getting introduced to “Jack Bittle” and then later on figuring out that it was actual NHL superstar Jack Zimmermann?
Cringe culture is dead, so will 8tracks be in three days so link me your aesthetic 8tracks playlists so I can save them to Spotify. I don’t give a fuck if you think they’re cringy. I’m personally going to make sure they survive to the next decade.
Bitty asking "Why can't we" has got to be the straightest thing I have ever read. Well I'm done, I'm just going to assume this is all a dream sequence and leave. Let me know if Kent shows up and if he's given some actual depth till then I wish you all well.
You know what no Bitty crying on the floor and saying “It’s just going to be so hard keeping all that to myself, and I just don’t know how long” is the straightest thing I have ever read. The whole update is just like the straightest thing like good lord I don’t know where to begin, like wow this is straight author 101 gay people in the closet are miserable you should pity them. Just throw me on the ice I am soo salty.
Sciiiience fiction. Dooouble feature ahahaha
~closeted tears while on the floor~ I’m still sitting here laughing. I was zero levels of surprised, and I think I’ve ran out of fucks to give anyway.
“But doesn’t any gay person aspire to be out, anyway?” replied some person on a post I made about this several months ago, which, frankly, speaks to how predictable the trajectory of this comic is). The oversimplification of it all astounded me. Because no, actually, I don’t want the whole world knowing what’s basically my business, I don’t owe the world anything. What the question is really asking is, do you want to be out and thriving or closeted and miserable? That’s the false dichotomy engendered by the comics itself, that to be out = to be happy, and to be in the closet = to be repressed/miserable. It’s so wrong on so many levels, but to say the least, this kind of thinking ignores how our environment have very real consequences for many of us, and coming out is not a black-and-white choice for any given circumstance.
For one, I don’t want to see the world magicked away and pretend that the possible hate and shaming that i will get when i declare my sexuality don’t exist, I want to see people around me learning to be accepting and letting go of their prejudices, and then maybe i’ll choose to come out. It’s a process–not only for the people around you but for letting go of the fears and shame you’ve held close to your chest since forever (Bitty used to reflect that well? lol not anymore). But also I want the love and acceptance of my family and peers, but not at the expense of them being replaced by pod persons lol, if that makes sense? It’s super unsatisfying to see this supposedly Big Coming Out hoopla when everyone in this universe seems to have inhaled gas fumes and acting out of bounds of reality anyway, consequence-free and mindlessly cloying.
But that’s me, But as a friend pointed out, they’ve never met a gay person who thinks of being out the way Bitty does. It’s like having big shiny thing to achieve, something to be crossed off a bucket list or something for their relationship to be Truly Happy. Never mind that this something that he should have considered in the first place before entering into a relationship with a pro athlete? As the culture among hockey players is to blend with the team and to avoid drawing attention to one’s self, as good ol’ Canadian boys are told to do from a young age?
Anyway, fans of this comics buy suspension of disbelief in fudging bulk and wholesale lol. It’s (maybe) a good thing I have extremely low expectations of this comic treating any subject matter decently, but I can’t blame you for going tbh.
The only ~closeted tears~ i’ll be crying is over the potential this comic had but lost lmao
I just typed "Jack Bittle" into the search bar on AO3 oh lord what have I become
