I’ve always wanted this kind of happiness for Jack. And I’ve read so many fics where he decides to come out after winning the cup because it proves he’s a good hockey player and blah blah blah. But it just makes me so happy to watch him be happy. He just won the cup. There is something so incredibly brave, something which he probably doesn’t realize he’s being, by kissing Bitty on national television and saying “who cares?” Those two words are so impactful for me. He knows that nobody that matters cares. All of his teammates, his family. They don’t care. They just love him and are proud of him. And I think he’s finally proud of himself. Sixteen year old Jack is quaking.

↳ As anyone with a half decent data plan already knows, a recent post on this very website declared that I was gay. The delivery left something to be desired, but the message is true. I am gay. For a long time, I was killing myself to hide that fact. I had all these reasons: it was unfair that only gay people had to come out, I was sick of change. But the truth is, I was just scared. First, I thought it was just a gay thing, but then I realised that no matter what, announcing who you are to the world is pretty terrifying, cause what if the world doesn’t like you?
