★ Notes on Year 2, Comics 18 + Comics 19 - Goodbye for the Summer, Parts I + II ★
☆ ☆ ☆ NOTES ☆ ☆ ☆
✓ Hey, you know what *I* like to do when I'm really down and have some time to kill before the Samwell airport shuttle picks me up? I compulsively fold dozens of San Jose Sharks apparel in the vacated room of my former teammate and love interest. And I'll cry, also, listening to some tunes--a toss up between Adele or Beyoncé--but not really a toss up because I got one song in mind and I REALLY NEED TO GET MESSED UP. And I'll think thoughts like, "get a hold of yourself, Bittle! Sobbing like some fool! Why do you always do this? You're never gonna learn and this is what you get. At least he's your friend--why isn't that enough for you? He has his whole career to focus on and THERE'S A HANDSOME MAN BEHIND ME."
✓ Oh man, Bitty was singing “Halo” at the beginning of Year 2. YES! He was! Heads up, I'm going to have to blatantly change the lyrics when Year 2 goes to print. I don't need to change the lyrics in "Goodbye for the Summer", but in the printed book in "Moved In", Bitty will sing a song called "Shiny Light" by Betwicé.
Wherever I look around,
I'm standing in your embrace,
Wow, that's a shiny light
Oops, you're really great
✓ I can't believe Jack and Bitty did the thing! WHAT?! I mean, I guess I didn't want to spoil you, but I feel like I strongly implied at every step of the way that Jack would kiss Bitty and Bitty would get to touch Jack's butt (TBA/TBD/ETC). Well, it's happened. Hoorah!
✓ Jack's terrible boy band bangs appeared out of nowhere. This was caused by racing across campus to kiss Bitty and the subsequent kissing of Bitty.
✓ And Bitty only said "oh" and "okay" during that last comic. Yuuuuup.
✓ Yikes, watch out Bitty. Right? See, Jack can only do things at 0% or 110%
✓ So that's the end of the comic, right? Jack and Bitty are together. Donezo? Hm, well, there are still some things--What did Jack text Bitty? And are Jack and Bitty really together? If not, how do they break up? If so, how will they tell the Boys? Will they even tell the boys? Will Jack keep this a secret from his NHL team? Who are the members of his NHL team? What does this mean for Jack's career--he's only a rookie! (What will happen when the Falconers play the Aces?) How does Bitty deal with the pressure of dating an NHL player--or the sadness of sacrificing a relationship for Jack's NHL career? How does Bitty deal with relationships at all?? When will Mama Bittle and Coach find out? (Will they ever even find out?) How are Ransom and Holster going to be as captains? How will Shitty handle Harvard Law? It's Lardo's last year as manager--how can anyone replace her? Are Ransom, Holster, and Lardo going to get jobs?? Go to grad school? WHO GETS THEIR DIBS? What about the new frogs (the tadpoles?) Who will be captain? WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN?
