coach and suzanne had their first dance to dolly parton’s i will always love you and it’s the first song bitty learned the words to because suzanne would always play it when they baked together. it’s also the only song he’s ever heard coach sing along to, driving to florida for a family vacation in ‘06. suzanne cried. bitty promptly asked for say my name by destiny’s child as soon as the song ended

my cousin just sent me the most bitty-core fucking texts i’ve ever received in my life.

for context: shes baking at midnight, she has a 10am class tomorrow and wants to go to the gym before it

context 2: due to circumstances (dumbassery) the recipe was doubled but there is only one loaf pan, so loaf 1 must bake and cool and be transferred and THEN loaf 2 can be made

the actual texts: “if i can get to bed before 2am, i shall go to the gym. it’s up to fate (and the oven) now”

1. What Were You Gonna Say Before Deflecting Eric Richard Bittle

2. bitty assuming he won't see jack all summer and potentially for longer. jack assuming bitty knew he'd drive up before the season started. there's something here about bitty's abandonment issues and how he assumes jack won't wanna make time to see him but also how jack is so giving with his love (and also so bad at communicating his feelings) that upon hearing this he's just like what? of course i'll come see you. of course of course of course i will.

Summary: 15 year old Eric Bittle felt like he didn't fit in anywhere: the kids in his new high school didn't like him, his parents didn't understand him, and he recently had to give up his beloved figure skating. When his parents decided to rent a beach house at Cape Cod instead of their usual vacation spot, he was sure it would be a painfully boring summer vacation. But when he met the quirky staff of a nearby waterpark and the cute boy next door, the vacation started to seem a bit more promising...

Inspired by The Way Way Back (2013)

Salt Water Hearts (4,318 words)

Featuring: Eric "Bitty" Bittle/Jack Zimmermann

//

Jack is a pro surfer hired to teach Eric Bittle (an upcoming Hollywood talent) to surf for The Breakers, Bittle's next feature film. They do not get off on the right foot.

Dream of the Pale Blue Lobster - Rated T - 3,567 words (Chapter 1/7)

Featuring: Derek "Nursey" Nurse/William "Dex" Poindexter

Summary: Nursey writes a bestselling novel that features a unique pastel-colored lobster that lives in a New England public aquarium. As part of a Netflix series based on the book, Nursey tracks down the lobster boat that caught and provided the specimen to the facility. Captain Dex has no time to spare for all of this artsy nonsense, but Nurse is unexpectedly charmed by Dex. And quite persistent in his quest to know more about him. Why is his boat named that? Why does he always wear this particular hat? How uniform is the distribution pattern of his freckles? What does he look like when he smiles?

These are important questions that Nursey really needs answers to.

out of tune - Rated T - 4.463 words

It’s a remnant from his days playing only these kinds of venues, the sketchy basement clubs with malfunctioning lights and dirt-cheap vodka sodas. The ones where you have to show up on time, or they’ll just shrug and let the next band play instead. The kinds of venues even a scrappy college-dropout kid from Buffalo with too many feelings he didn’t know what to do with except channel into guitar riffs and angry breakup songs got to play in.

you chose 🔴! ship: zimbits, word: road

“You on the run or somethin’?” The guy’s no taller than Jack’s car and is eyeing Jack down with something resembling…intrigue, maybe. Skepticism, more likely. His wayfarers make it hard for Jack to read him, but he hasn’t kicked Jack in the groin and run off with his keys yet, so he’s no more of a threat than the signage saying the next gas station isn’t for another fifty miles. “No,” Jack says, carefully, crossing his arms in some lame attempt to come off threatening himself. He flexes them in the process once or twice, and from the way the guy's eyes linger before skirting away, it must work. “Just going for a drive, is all.” “A drive, huh.” The guy clasps his hands behind his back and leans against the pump, no longer looking at Jack, instead staring off across the prairies to where the looming mountains break the horizon. “Headed anywhere in particular?” Jack peers at him for a long moment, wondering why he’s here, why he’s in the middle of Montana talking to a gas station clerk when he should be in Montreal shaking hands with the Aces’ GM, before he tears his gaze away as well. “No,” he eventually says, again. “Billings was the plan, but now I’m just following the open road. I guess I’ll know it when I get there.” It’s nearing evening, the dying light washing the pavement in a warm orange. A lone truck sputters along the highway, coming and going, and in its echo the guy asks, “Aren’t we all?” It’s a subdued question, really, a far-off voice caught fluttering in diesel smoke and wind. Jack doesn’t give an answer.

Or – Jack doesn’t overdose. Instead, he packs a bag and grabs his keys and starts driving, thinking that if he could just get away for a bit, he’ll be able to come back and handle the pressure, the press, the somewhat damning reality of being Bob Zimmermann’s son. He doesn’t anticipate reaching Detroit, crossing the border, driving past the lakes and across the plains. He doesn’t anticipate shucking his phone into a trash can in Wisconsin after it rings for the three-hundredth time.

He just drives and drives, listening to whatever local radio station he can find and thinking about all the ways he officially, royally fucked up.

Somewhere in Montana, he stops for gas and meets Dicky (read: Eric Richard “Bitty–that ain’t a play on my size, y’know” Bittle). He’s a low-lying, gaudy gas station clerk with big eyes and the tendency to talk with his hands, who drawls his vowels out like he’s supposed to be much further south than where Jack finds him, who grates on every one of Jack’s nerves, who somehow just gets Jack on a fundamental level that no one has ever done before.

On a whim, the two end up driving together to Billings, in part because Dicky has been needing to go to the city and mostly because Jack’s just tired of driving alone. Dicky fills the car with nonsensical chatter, pries into why Jack is taking a cross-country trip outside of his country ("Hon, your accent ain't foolin' no one"), and maybe Jack slowly finds himself wanting to lean over the center console to kiss the toothy grins right off Dicky's face as he gushes over lemon meringue pie.

He doesn't, but he wants to, and that's enough for him to book separate rooms in the tacky motel they stop at that night.

They don’t know it yet, but they need each other, moreso than Jack needs the NHL and Dicky needs…whatever the hell it is he needs in the city (read: a plane ticket home that he can’t afford). It’d be a clichéd fic chronicling their story of acceptance and healing and “finding love on the open road” and whatnot, and if I had the willpower to write it in its entirety, I’d do so in a heartbeat.

sometimes i understand eric richard bittle

bitty? eric richard bittle? twitter user @omgcheckplease is that you?

[forabeatofadrum]

Thank you @facewithoutheart​ and @artsyunderstudy​ for the tag. It is another Sunday. My mother’s birthday is tomorrow.

I still haven’t written a lot, because nowadays when I am writing, I am writing my thesis. Yup, it is time to channel my inner Eric Richard Bittle and yell despayeehaw because it is time to delve deep into the world of qualitative research on the representation of queer women in TV and movies. I was this close to putting down 6 (or 7) sentences of the introduction in this post, just for fun, but unlike my bachelorthesis, my masterthesis will be in Dutch. I mean, technically speaking, the thesis will be my main WIP for the next couple of months.

But uh oh new fandom alert! As y’all may have heard, I read all of the Trials of Apollo last week and sure they were fine I liked them ANYWAY I wanted to attempt a fic on where Nico and Will get together. It’s probably been done so many times, but hey, two cakes principle! I just love Nico. I also wanted to delve a bit into his backstory, because giving him a boyfriend doesn’t immediately get rid of the internalised homophobia so that’s what we have fanfiction for. That aside, I hoped that it would be a mostly cute and fluffly fic but then the fic literally starts with 3 demigods dying and uh...

As ordered, Nico goes to the infirmary, but the moment he steps inside, his insides churn. He isn’t fazed by all the wounded. He’s seen enough gruesome things. A few mangled up demigods unfortunately isn’t the worst thing he’s seen.

No, he feels the aura of death around some of them.

“Ah, there you are!” Will says happily. His happy demeaner is a sharp contrast to what Nico’s feeling.  

Yeah. He’s still the son of Hades.

[jankwritten]

Either I’m way sicker than I thought or I’ve been reading AAY too much OMGCP fic but

I was watching a Tik tok of a person making cookies and she mentioned that she didn’t need salt because her butter was already salty. It made me think of when I did that same thing when I made cookies recently, and how everyone liked the cookies and so I was like “Oh I used land of lakes butter, is that good butter? I should ask Bitty if that’s good butter.” And it took me a second to remember that Bitty is not real. He is in fact a fictional character.

I cannot believe I genuinely thought that I should ask Eric Richard Bittle what the best butter to use is, what he considers “good” butter. I can’t believe I e hit that stage of mental deterioration.

Ooh nice. Thanks for the ask @parvuls

Someone keeps putting yellow flowers inside Suzanne's locked office at her new job. the flowers start as roses, then shift to daffodils and buttercups and daisies. The notes all are signed with R. She goes systematically through every single man in the directory but there aren't any. Eventually it's revealed that it's Eric Richard Bittle Jr. Everyone in the company calls him junior but he prefers Richard. He says the flowers reminded him of her beautiful hair
