#that i thought were tumblr being tumblr

scoobhead:

ok so the suitor squad (1) proposed on the same day to the same woman and (2) are literally best friends who almost certainly have known each other longer than any of them have known lucy. this leaves us with a few possibilities:

1. the fact that they all proposed on the same day was completely by coincidence. funny in terms of them all reaching the same conclusion that may 25 was The Day, but otherwise kind of a boring option. also very unrealistic. next please
2. they all decided to just Wing It on the same day. all’s fair in love and war. whoever got there first and got a yes was going to marry lucy. good luck boys. let the hunger games begin
3. they planned this VERY deliberately. they knew jack would go first, then quincey, then arthur, assuming she didn’t say yes to a proposal before all three men had a chance to propose. this option implies that they themselves, The Boyfriends, knew that jack had the least chance of success and arthur had the most likely positive outcome. (which is the correct assessment, but also…. sorry jack.) also implies that both jack and quincey had to send a message to the group chat along the lines of “no dice. good luck art let’s go buddy”
4. my personal favorite: they did not realize that all three of them were courting the same woman, and in Bro Solidarity decided to propose on the same day to their three individual girlfriends. unfortunately there was only one collective girlfriend. c'est la vie
