Howdy. 👋

Not only will there be a new volume of CHECK, PLEASE! in the works...

But CHECK, PLEASE!: YEAR FIVE will be...

…THE YEAR OF THE FROG. 🐸 🏒 ✨

Below, find a summary of what the newest volume of CHECK, PLEASE! will have to offer… highs, lows, and a whole new SMH!!

Samwell mens hockey’s favorite baker—and championship-winning senior captain—has graduated! How will the team survive? Problems abound as their new captain, Dex, learns that the effortless balance Bitty maintained on the team isn’t as easy as it looks. Then, ultra-aloof Nursey must finally drop his “chill” and get vulnerable in a senior poetry seminar. And to make matters worse, Chowder faces the dreaded ‘SSGS’ and is having the worst season of his college career. But when change arrives at Samwell hockey, it not only threatens to rip the team apart, but could destroy Dex, Nursey, and Chowder’s friendship forever. Before they graduate, to save their team and themselves, the three seniors must come together and ask the question: ‘What does Samwell hockey mean to you?’

I can’t reveal any more spoilers, but I’ll leave you with that question—what does Samwell hockey mean to you? Look out for more Check, Please! news in the months to come!

I think part of why nurseydex is so fun is like. they’re both a) SO guarded. walls fucking UP with these two baby, and b) oblivious/repressed as hell!!! how can you be perceived when you’re a mystery even to yourself. check AND mate motherfucker. and in this context a big part of the threat they initially pose to each other is in their shared ability to cut through all of that; they can both almost unfailingly provoke an honest emotional reaction in each other, can jab barbs right past all those walls and false composure to the things they most want to pretend they don’t care about. for both of them, the idea of being Seen to care about these things so much that they’ll react to it is terrifying. a reaction shows a weak spot, that this is a place where if you drive the knife in it’ll really fucking hurt. and so to have someone up in your business who can both reliably press on those weak spots and does not seem to like you enough as a person to care whether it hurts is a Bad Time!!!

but of course, this is where the real fun part comes in - with time and effort they get to a point where they know each other well enough to better know that the other person does in fact care if it hurts, and when to ease off before it does. which means now they’re stuck with someone who can bypass all their walls and protections the same as always, but who is doing their best to handle what they find there with care. this is still big and scary and makes dex want to bite nursey like a poorly trained dog, but in a way where they’re kind of falling in love with each other? this will of course take them a million bajillion years to even internally accept bc. to be frank. just bc someone else can maybe see what’s going on down there doesn’t mean THEY wanna see what’s going on down there. but it’s a bruise they can’t stop pressing, a loose tooth they just can’t leave alone; one thing about nurseydex is that they really can never leave well enough alone. and then they have really intense emotionally charged makeouts that they can’t talk about without keeling over <333 YAY ROMANCE!!!

The whole “queer actors playing queer roles” discussion is the reason check please hasn’t been live actioned yet btw they’re trying to hire queer actors but they can’t find an authentic twink to play Eric Bittle who wouldn’t shatter like glass after the first choreographed check. Heard they might get a skinny butch from Portland to cross dress for the role.

[ivecarvedawoodenheart]

literally an act of complete & open aggression

[dykeseinfeld]

a holster who almost ruined the surprise proposal bc he cornered bitty for an hour the night and looked him dead in the eyes to try to give him a genuinely concerned "you know you can do better right? plenty of fish in the sea" talk

[ivecarvedawoodenheart]

holster: if he's got dirt on you blink twice. blink twice. okay blink — blink twice now. or right now. bitty blink twice now

[virgoscringe]

hi guys hope it’s chill i hopped on this post but it was genuinely just. too funny not to <3

[jtl-fics]

In light of the news that we're getting a new year of OMG! Check Please by Ngozi I have decided to build my Bingo Card Early.

The only thing I know will happen for sure is that there will be pie.

No matter what I am very excited to see how it goes!
