a secret headcanon of mine is that jack and bittys family are both filled with total wackos so their wedding is just a mess of trying (and failing) to keep the bad ones from interacting. your celeste drabble is really bringing that right back up to the surface for me.
I feel ya on this one, bud. There is crazy on all sides, which makes it time to bust out one of my copious ‘how can i fit this in a fic it’s not relevant’ headcanons: Bob, while arguably the most successful hockey player he could possibly be, comes from a family of highly regarded politicians (ala The Kennedys) and he’s a black sheep for pursuing hockey instead of going to university.
Like, idk, consider Bob’s older brother was the Premier of Quebec at the same time Bob was busting skulls with the Canadiens which honestly didn’t help inter-province relations at all.
Bob’s still a bit touchy about the ribbing he gets from his siblings during the holidays, even the ones who never made much of themselves.
