Because we haven't done this since LAST YEAR, and
throughaphase needs entertainment:
Let's hear the minute details of your characters' lives! List 5 absolutely trivial pieces of information that you've made up about what your kids do, whether they have to shower at a certain type of day, or if they've read a certain book more than once, or what their favorite number is. And if you want to list more than 5 things, go for it!

2) Is actually a pretty good seamstress: she's been altering her own clothes all her life, so that her hand-me-downs from her cousins fit comfortably. She's particularly good at reattaching sequins to costumes, letting things out and taking them in, and refurbishing/repairing hats.
2.5) Has two top hats, and she's just constantly changing out the ribbon or adding new feathers or paste gems or a seashell for a day, and then wearing them around town. It helps with her homesickness.
3) Doesn't take baths, but loves scented bath salts. So sometimes she'll just dissolve some in a little dish and uses it to soak her fingers before she does her nail polish.
4) Her comfort drink is hot coco, no matter how hot it is outside.
5) Is now obsessed with trying to learn to cook with tofu, so she can have more food options when the carnival is on the road.
5.5) That said, dry cereal is a legit dinner.

2. If the Cubs had won the World Series while she was in space she would have to go to space again next year because of superstitions.
3. Has not taken her engagement ring off once since she got it.
4. Is grammatically correct in texts and the easiest way to annoy her is to substitute numbers for combinations of letters. L8r? NOPE.
5. (When she's on Earth) she almost always spends at least part of her day getting everything at Caritas in order because she doesn't want to end up on Bar Rescue.
5a. Totally watches Bar Rescue and Restaurant Impossible as "never do these things" inspiration.

2. Sends dirty texts to Zee just to get a rise out of her, and to let her know he's not dead yet. That's what friends are for.
3. Hidden somewhere in his apartment among all his magical tomes is a copy of The Velveteen Rabbit. Shut up. It was his mum's.
4. The Coat has only lasted as long as it has because in a fit of drunken inspiration he once sprayed it heavily with Scotch Guard. Fucking LIFESAVER in keeping blood stains from sticking.
5. Would kill someone to get a decent curry & chips place on the island. It's his go-to Happy Food, and the microwave ones are never as good.
Re: John Constantine
And he still doesn't understand this obsession with greasy chips, no matter how often Jono rhapsodizes about them.

2. Has spent a ridiculous amount of money at Hot Topic. Like, even she thinks so, but she has an image to maintain.
3. Learned a tiny bit of French when she and Aunt May went there, and is disappointed to not have an excuse to embarrass herself speaking it.
4. Calls all squirrels Leroy now, thanks Mara.
5. "What would Aunt May say?" is what she bases most big decisions on.
6. Her favorite item of clothing is her bunny slippers and she will die before admitting that.

1a. Is terrified that she can now qualify that as "bland." IT'S BEEN DONE.
2. Is considering going back to her natural brown hair because apparently her preferred shade of red only existed on one world, which no longer exists.
3. Has never bothered learning the names of any drinks because if she really NEEDS a drink, she's going to have enough to forget the name.
4. Has on more than one occasion considered getting a cat and naming it "Kitty," but that feels way too messed up right now.
5. Has a closet completely dedicated to jackets. Which is impressive since her previous jackets have all been destroyed, along with her world.
There may be a theme there.

2. Most people around her are annoyed that she has to make concessions for a pet but as long as it's an annoyance and not endangering or actively inconveniencing her people, too bad.
3. Feels the need more now to look presentable all the time, being back home.
4. Misses pizza more than she'd admit.
5. Hasn't said a word to people back home about Fandom family weirdness because I mean really.

2. She's actually a talented dancer. It's just not her only, or even primary skill.
3. She doesn't get glitter. At all.
4. She kind of hates squirrels.
5. She has NO IDEA who could possibly finish the Ben Special at the ice cream store and thinks they must be insane.

2. He loves his guitar and listening to and discovering good music and all of that, but his bar-none favourite pastime is just sitting alone and reading n silence with a cat nuzzled against his hip.
3. Has wondered if a person can roast a marshmallow over him, yes. Still too proud to ever let anybody try.
4. Sometimes catches himself saying things the American way. Immediately regrets not being able to wash his mouth out with soap.
5. On the Fourth of July, he makes a point to wear his Union Jack boxers just to be spiteful.
6. Isn't as hopeless with computers and so on as he likes to let on. But he needs to be contrary about something or else people will start to think he's getting comfortable.
7. He's read his copy of Slaughterhouse Five (Meta'd as Schlachthof-fünf) so many times it's falling apart. He has it as an e-book, but he's never once read it that way. It doesn't feel right. The pages about how Billy always felt ashamed to face his mother were the first ones he read to tatters.
8. He checks out the state of his face in the mirror every day. It's about the same as it ever was; most of the progress trying to put himself back together with Hannibal has been millimeters at a time, around his chest. He checks his face because it's an old habit he picked up back when his powers were actively destroying his body a bit more each day, before he picked up enough control to curb that.

2. Really, really misses having a cat. But not as much as he'd hate living on his own again, so he doesn't bring it up to anybody.
3. He's actually really good with little kids. If there were more of them around the island, he might even consider offering babysitting services or something.
4. His favourite food is nerf. Dammit, Atton. His second favourite food is SpaghettiOs. He's not even apologetic about it.
5. He likes playing video games, but the only ones he's really good at are the ones that came out for the older Nintendo systems. Pixels over polys any day of the week, thanks.
6. He loves older musicals not because of some silly stereotype, but because they remind him of his oldest sister, Carla. She'd sing the more upbeat songs to Sparkle and their other siblings whenever they went up to hide on the roof to keep their spirits up.
7. He watches the CBC news almost religiously since moving back to the island. He's never going back to Toronto, but he needs something from home, because he hates that lost floating feeling he's had since the whole arson thing. It's possible he has a crush on Trudeau. Shut up.
