Some Extra Thoughts About Check Please

Sooooo I didn't mention it in my video essay about Check Please, but I have some further thoughts about the different depictions of coming out shown in the comic.

First off, if you haven't already, check out my video essay on the comic. it was the last full-length essay I made before I retired from video essays & I highly recommend it. You can watch it HERE.

Now onto my extra thoughts!

I failed to mention it in the video but I absolutely loved the mini arc between Bitty & Whiskey. It was honestly such a nice subtle way to depict the idea that folks aren't ready or even want to come out publicly and how that's totally fine. At that point in the story, Bitty & Jack are already public knowledge, putting them both in the spotlight at every turn. Naturally Whiskey notices this and realizes that he's not quite ready to be open about his sexuality. He says as much near the end of the story.

I bring all of this up cuz it reminds me of how people are trying to force celebs aka REAL LIFE PEOPLE to come out or give them grief for "queerbaiting" even tho that can't be the case. I always go back to the biggest example via Kit Connor (of Heartstopper fame) being forced to out himself cuz a couple of biphobes couldn't handle a man holding a woman's hand. Oh no, the horrors.

In the moments that Bitty saw Whiskey fooling around with a fella at that party, he could've said something. But instead, he kept it to himself and made it clear that it's Whiskey's business if they choose to be open about it or not. And just that small moment alone warms my heart & gives me hope.

It's unclear if Whiskey ever truly came out or not. IDK if we'll ever know. and the gag is we don't have to. But the fact that he has that choice is even better. Cuz irl nowadays, there are many folks out there who have to remain closeted for their safety or simply have no interest in ever being public about it. And they deserve that privacy just as much as someone who's out & proud deserves to be treated with respect for how they choose to identify.

I can admit that I was one of those "if they're not queer, they shouldn't play a queer character" folks all those years ago. But as I came out in 2016, further explored my own sexuality & actually took a deep dive into more queer media...my whole view on that completely changed. It's a very nuanced convo and honestly, how one feels about it will vary & that's ok.

I just find it fascinating that a quirky sports comic about a couple of gay hockey players managed to depict 3 different ways queer folks deal with their identities while living their lives. I adore Check Please for managing to do that, among other things.

Anyway, these are some extra thoughts I had about the comic that, for some reason, I didn't mention in my video essay back in May. But hey, it's out now so here ya go lol

sometimes to practice your comic skills you spend too much time imagining a random conversation that could happen in omgcp year 5.

in which nursey needs sleep, dex should relax, whiskey reconsiders his choices and chowder gets his lick in.

If I had a nickel for everytime a Knives Out character had the same name as one of the Samwell Men’s Hockey team players, I would have two nickles. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

So it confuses him, wrapping his legs around Chad's waist, pulling him in, the bedframe creaking underneath slow-rolling hips, why he's thinking about Haus bylaws right now.

👀 Whiskey gets adopted by the LAX bros?

HECK YEAH I love this wip!!!!! HAVE YOUR SNIPPET IN GLORIOUS JOY

The situation boils down to this: there's a kid (wearing an SMH shirt) standing on Chad's front porch, escorted by a men's rugby player and one of his own teammates (sophomore, attack and occasional middie) and looking like he'd like the ground to swallow him whole. "He's having issues with his team and needs to avoid them tonight," Dylan says without preamble, and shoves the hockey kid closer to Chad before sliding through he door with the rugby boy in tow. "Hey," Chad says softly, directing his voice at the hockey kid. "I'm Chad L. You can call me L or Chad, but yelling Chad will get you a whole bunch of answers in this house." The hockey boy nods. Chad realizes, suddenly, that he's blocking the door and that he's left an uncomfortable student - who's trying to hide from his team, no less - on his porch, and feels like an idiot.
