#omgcp 3.20

(So I already posted this but something happened and it didn’t actually post and I lost it. So hopefully I can remember everything...)

This is now officially one of my favorite panels of the entire series. Just look at all of them!!!

Lardo caught my eye first. She looks like she’s about to cry. (ALSO BABE ALERT HER HAIR IS PERFECTION PLEASE KILL ME LARISSA DUAN) Her mouth’s open in a smile cry and her eyebrows are so expressive. She’s like a big sister, so proud of Bitty (she always knew he could do it) but also sad and nervous. It’s kinda surreal, she couldn’t have asked for a better end of her time at Samewell but now it’s here, everything’s about to change. Didn’t she just meet Bitty in the kitchen, a sometimes shy, confused, closeted Freshman? And now he’s Captain!!!

Chowder just honestly looks like the definition of an gentleman. He’s so happy but calm (still a big kinda goofy grin though). He just looks so grown here. Like this is just a Good Man™. 

Nursey looks like he’s either starting to stand or sitting down after standing. That side smile, with just a little bit of teeth showing, his soft eyes. This is the world’s true Disney Prince.

DEX!!! Like look at this angry boy’s wonderful smile! His eyes are so soft and loving!!

Holster is the Proud Father, fist pumping and cheering way too loud, but it’s endearing. (Also at first I thought he was punching Dex’s ear???)

Ransom could take on the world right now. That’s his victory face, nothing can stop him and his team! That’s the reaction of a man who’s worked his ass off and is watching not only himself, but the people he cares about, succeed. That’s a man confident that his team will be alright without him. 

Ford... JUST FORD Y’ALL. She’s still so new but she just fits in so perfectly! And she’s so genuinely excited, because even in the short time she’s known all of them, she knows Bitty deserves this. And that he’s the right choice. I can only imagine the extra trust and cooperation a Captain and manager need to have to really work well together (I like to think that’s part of why Jack and Lardo are such good friends). But even though she might be a little out of her element, still getting adjusted, she knows that Bitty will help and support her so that she can thrive in her position and as a member of this team. 

TANGO IS AN ACTUAL ANGEL OK! Like this child is Pure! I reallly think he’s leaning in towards Whiskey and asking some cute/funny question about how things might change next year. Also, is he blushing??

Whiskey.... WhISKeY. That soft smile and eyes! He’s watching this teammate, who he’s come to trust and respect even though he didn’t take to him at first, who calls him Connor and gives him advice and acknowledges his talent, become his Captain. He’s really starting to feel like he belongs in this team.

And of course Ollie and Wicks!!! Bitty’s classmates, who’ve literally been there since he first stepped into the Haus (and will soon move in themselves). Fist bumping, all grown up but still them. 

And just... The only other person to have been unanimously chosen was Jack! This team, that Bitty once thought he might not be cut out for, just acknowledged his importance to them. And it could be easy to have have some self doubt when you’re so close to someone as talented and respected as Jack, I mean still in his rookie year and he’s got an A. It wouldn’t be surprising if Bitty saw Jack as being on this whole other level in the hockey world, far above himself. But his team just proved to him that he can be on par with Jack. He’s not just adjacent to greatness, he has it in himself. 

The only way this update could have been any better was in we’d seen Jack and Shitty’s reactions (and Suzanne and Coach and Tater and Bob and Alicia). Maybe in the notes??   🤞

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THESE BOYS they have matching captain t shirts!!!! so i have a couple of questions... why does jack have one?? is he supporting his bf??? maybe he has one from when he was captain of smh??? or??? maybe he's a captain with the falconers??? that'd be nice oh the chirps ps... is that a playoff beard i see on the one and only jack laurent zimmerman??? 👀👀

[omgdexnursey]

crisis anon back at it again!! ur just very approachable and im having fun but i promise to ask less exhaustive questions lmao

on another note starting to read omgcp fanfic led to me rereading the comic, which sent me into a full spiral consisting of literally a full day of crying that i really cannot explain. i kinda pulled a johnson and like contemplated how the comic ending & bitty graduating felt like a real loss, amplified by the sense of family that the smh had which followed me thru the years. maybe it's indicative of my own fears of not only growing up and losing a family like that, but never finding one in the first place?? i promise i'm normally so mentally stable and this was really out of left field for me. okay yes also as im reading this yeah i do work myself up sometimes!! oh lordy

🥺 my life goal is complete

(in all seriousness i totally get it! there’s a specific part that always makes me extremely emotional and it’s from 3.20 where bitty goes: they’ve taught me i can be strong just how i am. exactly how i am. and i’ve learned that i can be strong for them too. 

it gets me EVERY time, and i think that because these characters have a lot of relatability, it’s very easy to get attached to them and experience the same emotions you’d expect to if these events were happening to real people in your life, if that makes sense)
