aight I've got a HILARIOUS au idea.
everything is the same except Wicky is a prince and nobody has any idea.
He's not first in line, and when asked, he says he's the "throwaway sibling". He's pretty well known in his home country as the second born prince, and he's kind, loves hockey, and pretty smart, even if he's not as smart as his older sibling.
The only people at Samwell who know the truth are the dean, the coaches, Ollie, Nursey, and Shitty (Ollie was voluntarily told during Year 1 after Ollie asked Wicky out, and the other two straight up knew from their parents, and knew his name and face before even meeting him).
SMH finds out in 1 of 2 ways:
- Option 1: Graduation comes, and Jack's mom recognizes Wicky's grandmother or parents (whoever the monarch is), and is flabbergasted they're there, and they're just like "Yeah, we came to see our little boy graduate!" and the rest of SMH stares as Wicky jumps on his brother in excitement.
- Option 2: the Newsletter literally says it, and Foxtrot goes "Wait, Wicky's a prince??" and Nursey goes "Yep" while the rest of SMH stare at her and then him like "what the fuck are you talking about?"
- In Option 2: Bitty specifically finds out because he has Ollie and Wicky on the channel before they leave on their honeymoon, and MULTIPLE people send messages asking how he knows a prince and his new husband and Bitty is entirely baffled, and then horrified.

Nobody ever talks about Johnson but I wanna talk about him so bad
Ngozi made like such a complex character and just like rarely ever talks about him! But I wanna know more about our 4th wall breaking, weirdly philosophical goalie!! I have so many questions!!!
I wanna know how he feels about his situation! Like does he love it, hate it, or just view it as a natural part of his life that he can’t run away from??
How does he feel about the main characters? Like does he mentally view them as his best bros because he knows everything that has happened or will ever happen to them? Or does he resent them because they all have the spotlight and he’ll never be the main character?
Has he known since he was born that he was just a side character in a story surrounding someone that doesn’t even exist yet? OR does he recognize that his backstory never really happened and he was only truly “born” when Bitty came to Samwell?! But even then, did he always know or did he have to meet Bitty and learn that?
Did he feel the end of the comic coming??? Did he try to stop it or did he just realize that he was powerless and let it end?? Does the fact that the comic is done mean that he’s dead or frozen in time???? I NEED ANSWERS.
#johnson#john johnson#prev tags#are so good#i also remember i think i did a post for peps about my thoughts on him (and ship fic? with him?)#also something i love about his character is the fact his awareness of how fictional things are directly tied to the reader#as they need to read/see him to understand what hes thinking or saying#hes like the voice in our head but in the comic.

I can’t draw so imagine it in your brain but kent in oversized clothes circa 2012 faux fur trenchcoat STORMING down the vegas strip listening to “now that we don’t talk.”
Just absolutely fucking PISSED at the “did you get anxious though? On the way home? Guess that I will never know… NOW THAT WE DON’T TALK” line on his way to the arena and slapshot hitting a puck into the wall that bounces back directly into his own kneecap.

Jack: wow. Samwell after Samwell. I’m kinda jealous
Haus 2.0: *Shitty’s shirtless and loud bc his & Rans’ open beer can experiment (to see what mold forms) has been disrupted while Lardo’s teaching Rans how to tweeze Holster’s eyebrows and Holster has a hickey and so does Lardo and Rans is wearing what looks like everyone’s wardrobe and Shitty’s lighting a bong and it’s chaos, kegster music’s blaring in the background, Bill Nye the Science Guy is there,*
Jack: …okay, euh. Bye
#Jack is doing the equivalent of shutting his terrarium to keep his bugs inside but he doesn’t know how to study them properly bc they keep #smashing cymbals together and disrupting his patterns

i didn’t want to give this 47 options but would also welcome tagged thoughts on whether or not emojis have a place in jack’s contacts. thanks love y’all
summary from the notes so far:
- full name capitalized is poised to sweep with the following caveats.
- bitty either breaks into jack's phone to put emojis in his own name, teaches jack how to do it, or a combination of both. once they get married the cuteness factor becomes... exponentially worse.
- (@cricketnationrise somewhere down the line he is totally in there as "Lapin 🥧🤍" oops haha my eyes are wet)
- shitty starts out as "Knight 42" but also breaks into jack's phone to change it to "MY BEST BRO AND LOVE ❤️😩😛😤💖💕" (thank you @lizards-online). he also changes his contact picture to something clinically insane. jack either cannot figure out how to change it back or doesn't want to. dork.
- people jack meets for the first time are in there as first name-place he met them, e.g. Dave Zamboni Driver or Eric Starbucks. if he met them again he'd probably ask for their last name.
- @omgcheckkiki introduced the idea that jack not only correctly capitalizes everyone's name but also fills out the whole contact form that apple gives you. like, includes people's addresses and emails and birthdays. this is insane i love it thank you
- Adam Birkholtz.

no, because - famous person starts dating less famous person and is then gradually overshadowed is a trope. a trope often used to bring external conflict into stories. but jack and bitty are carefully constructed as the opposite of that, and I'm fucking feral over it.
we joke about how jack will eventually be bitty's trophy husband and be thrilled about it, but it definitely has a giant grain of truth in it. it's how they're characterized. bitty is an extrovert; jack is an introvert. bitty reached out and built himself an online audience to deal with his trauma; jack shut himself out and started avoiding the public to deal with his.
bitty finds comfort in being able to talk to others and (as seen in spotlight on eric bittle) considers being a public figure a sort of healing experience: coming out and being a public person (in every manner of speaking, not just sexuality wise) and putting himself in the limelight is such an important part of his journey because he sees it as a way of helping others who were in his situation.
jack grew up in the spotlight as the only son of two prominent figures. he grew up as a child with anxiety with the media's eyes on him as he was compared to his father. he grew up as an overweight teen featuring in trashy gossip columns as he was compared to his mother. he got into rehab in part because of this attention and it only attracted more attention to him. a lot of jack's anxiety stems from the notion of people looking at him and thinking about him and talking about him and judging him, and it's unfortunate because jack's dream is to play hockey, and that comes with even more attention.
but that's the thing: jack and bitty's story is (once again) a demonstration of two people making each other's lives better.
jack's fame thrusts bitty into the spotlight post-cup, and it's a giant push forward in helping him reach a bigger audience and thus grow his independent fame. bitty's growing fame slowly overshadows jack, to the point where ngozi says they'll one day be Eric Bittle and his Athlete Husband. and that means jack gets to play hockey, and win cups, and achieve fame in his own field, but the media's attention slides off him to his husband, and the fans on the street gradually approach bitty more than him, and jack is free to have his success with less of the personal scrutiny.
it's not that jack becomes less important than bitty. it's that bitty gets to stand in front of the direct sun and flourish as a result, while jack gets to stand in the shade bitty creates and flourish as a result. it's symbiosis. it's beautiful.

tingo-tango reblogged
WILLIAM J. POINDEXTER WENT FROM BEING A TINY FROG BALL OF RAGE CAUSING INTERPERSONAL PROBLEMS TO:
A) FIXING THE ENTIRE HAUS SINGLEHANDEDLY
B) LEARNING HOW TO CARRY ON BITTY’S BAKING TRADITION
C) UPHOLDING SMH FINES SO HE CAN REDIRECT THEM INTO IMPROVING THE HAUS BEYOND JUST PATCHING THINGS BACK TOGETHER
D) CREATING MORE LIVING SPACES IN THE HAUS
E) ACTUALLY BECOMING FRIENDS WITH NURSEY (GOOD ENOUGH FRIENDS THAT NURSEY BELIEVES HE WOULD BE A GOOD CAPTAIN!!)
F) STILL BEING A FROG BALL OF RAGE CAUSING INTERPERSONAL PROBLEMS BUT A BIGGER FROG AND THE PROBLEMS ARE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BITTY
G) BECOMING AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SAMWELL MEN’S HOCKEY TEAM WHEN AT FIRST HE WASN’T EVEN SURE HE WAS GOING TO GO TO SAMWELL
H) B E I N G V O T E D C A P T A I N !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#prev tags#yes!!!#dex is so fun also since hes one of the first characters in the comic we see thats not necessarily as accepting as the rest of SMH#and were reminded of the fact that the story is set where people can be people and can and will have flaws and prejudices#and it tis satisfying to see the progression#dex

bc Parse really thought they'd fall back into their old pattern with each other but when someone grows past you it hurts & there's no coming back from that when you're stuck 10 leagues behind them!
We had a hungry hope Now you can't let go All these excuses Scared to be losing Something that's already gone
