My NEW Obsession--an African American Yalie cartoonist named Ngozi Ukazu from Houston, Texas (daughter of Nigerian immigrants) who writes/draws obsessionally about a collegiate hockey team (hockey team???) at a small (fictional) undergraduate college ("Samwell") in Massachusetts--





Oh yeah--May 20, 2015, her Kickstarter campaign (original $15,000 goal) successfully raised $74,290 USD with 1,577 backers. Ah-hem!



This is Eric Richard Bittle.
'Dickie' to his Mom.
'Bitty' or 'Bits' to his teammates.



Eric Bittle (known as 'Bitty') is a slight 5'-6" Frosh (then Sophomore) gay figure skater (and master baker and pie maker!) from the South (Madison, GA) who joins the Samwell hockey team (AND hockey frat) and--at the end of the second year--is

SHOCKED TO DISCOVER  :o :o :o

that Jack Zimmermann, the graduating 6'-1" hunk Senior hockey captain (graduating and going pro) from Quebec (French bilingual, son of a famous Canadian hockey star)

HAS FALLEN LOVE WITH HIM.

(Now I'm totally certifiable, right?? Or does this mean I have been a Fangurl ALL ALONG without never knowing it???)


This is Jack.






THIS guy ('Parse') is bad news!



Fratmates/Teammates (and, after Jack graduates, now apparently boyfriends)



Teammate Jack visiting with the boyfriend's mom in GA during the 4th of July weekend--

Jack Zimmermann visiting Madison, GA for the 4th of July, Summer 2015.



Hmm. Doesn't this look FAMILIAR? (Only a lot more--friendlier??)

This has been my lock screen for a week and I might have to change it because I keep getting distracted at
how beautiful it is and how much I love these two nerds that @pawspaintsnthings has captured so vividly.

http://pawspaintsnthings.tumblr.com/image/140432886471

Bitty’s watching the Falconers game at the Haus when Jack gets checked hard. He skates off the ice but Bitty doesn’t even see it; he’s already out the door. His heart feels like it’s going to pound out of his chest all the way to Providence. When Jack gets home much later, after the game ends, Bitty’s paced himself into a worried mess. Cuddles ensue.
