I imagine like, Bitty finding out that his paternal grandad (the biological one) is the head of this super wealthy and old money southern family. And hes dying and wants to connect with his estranged and outofwedlock son and his family. So Bitty’s invited to this fancy party and he’s feeling kind of uncomfortable until he sees Shitty and yells out loud, in the middle of a sea of American Old Money, “SHITTY!”

Anyway Coach’s side of the family makes him really uncomfortable (even if there were a few cool cousins and aunts) so Bitty doesnt like to interact with them a lot.

When Shitty heads over to join Bitty, Suzanne notices him, too, and when he greets her, she calls him Mr. Crappy. Nowhere near as loud, but still audible to the others around them or paying attention–which her son’s earlier shout had certainly created plenty of.

Shitty preens because he can feel the burning disapproval of his father’s family’s eyes on his back.

at first i read this as Shitty and Bitty being both related to this rich uncle, and believe me, if Shitty discovered that he was Bitty’s cousin? he would hug him and NEVER LET GO.

Omg for a moment there I had a flash of what I’d be like if Shitty and Bitty were cousins and met when Bitty was like 12 or something and Shitty is absolutely 10000000% the biggest fan of the Bittle side of his family.

Like Jack fan levels of enthusiasm for this family.

He basically tries to spend all his summers and holidays with them after meeting them with the excuse of bonding with the distant family etc but really he just wants to spend all his time drinking in the fact he has relatives he can proudly call family.

And the Bittles are a bit confused at first by this kid who basically adopted himself into their family but quickly get over it and Bitty loves listening to his older cousin and his ‘radical’ ideas and hanging out with a cousin who doesn’t look at him weird for liking figure skating and actually is super enthusiastic about it is the best thing ever.

Then of course Bitty and Suzanne go to Samwell during family day to see him, and Shitty tears up and hugs them for a really long time before introducing them to fucking everybody, like seriously everybody.

Jack and Bitty exchange civil nods with each other, while Shitty basically vibrates with excitement. It happens again next year and when Shitty finds out Bitty applied and was accepted to Samwell, he runs across campus twice telling everybody before calmly calling Bitty back and helping him pro-con all the colleges he’s considering.

When Bitty confirms he’ll come to Samwell, they throw a massive party, he gets drunk and then spends an hour crying on Jack’s shoulder about how amazing his little cousin is and how much he wants Bitty to be happy, etc.
