It's been a hot second since I've logged onto Tumblr, but even during that downtime I'd look through your blog on the side just for how much joy and inspiration it gives me. I've been a fan for years, but especially now; thank you for everything you do, and for making lovely works of art that'll motivate me for ages to come. 💞

I've been so busy with NDA work recently I haven't had much time for personal art ( hence the radio silence on that front ). It can get me a little down sometimes but your message made me smile. I read it once, and then I read it again.

Thank you for sticking around, even during these long stretches of silence.

30, 17, and 25 for Maverick; 10, 7, and 2 for Nancy!

WOOOO YESS

Starting off with the worst man you've ever met Maverick here:

30. Do they smell like anything notable?

For him, I'd figure he'd smell a bit like the cigarettes/cigars he's typically seen smoking; musty with a hint of cedar. Although, I imagine him using some kind of cologne semi-regularly, perhaps one that smells of leather? Nothing that smells much like wood, he doesn't like the association most wooden-based scents have with his early life.

17. How did they spend their summers/free time as a child?

I imagine that during vacations within the long, arduous summer months, his parents never thought too much about ensuring he socialized with other kids his age, and so they'd drag him along with them to the lakeside vacation home where his father liked to spend those months away hunting for sport while his mother tried to make the most of her time away from the bustling city and her husband being occupied with matters that didn't concern her for the most part. Maverick would usually just entertain himself along the lakeshore, poking around with a stick at the various flora and fauna—usually skewering whatever he found of the latter when his mother wasn't watching.

Something Maverick also did frequently was bring a mason jar out with him to the lake, scanning around for bugs or any other creepy crawly he could pick up and encase to examine. Sometimes he'd let them go afterwards, other times he'd attempt some pseudo dissection of whatever insect he caught in his little glass prison. In some instances, he'd put two live animals in at the same time to see what would happen. Most of the time, one would end up killing and eating the other, yet it fascinated him all the same. When he wasn't terrorizing whatever small critters he stumbled upon, he'd reside to reading on his own, feeding into his ever-growing love for literature that would continue to follow into adulthood.

25. How good/bad is their hearing? What about their eyesight?

His hearing is generally okay, though probably has deteriorated a bit with age. Same deal with eyesight, and I imagine he employs the use of reading glasses from time to time.

AND NOW Nancy, everyone's fav sad girl muppet moth xoxo

10. If they wear jewelry, what kind? Do they prefer silver or gold? Do they have a favorite gem?

Nancy isn't the type to accessorize a bunch, though I'd like to think she'll sometimes wear jewelry whenever she's gifted with any. For instance, during college, Felicity gave her a gold necklace for her birthday that had a lil ruby pendant—Nancy's birthstone. In turn, Nancy ended up wearing it almost everyday up until around the time she and Felicity started to gradually drift apart and Nancy's initial insecurities surrounding her own future and success in comparison to her friend's shifted towards envy.

7. Favorite Animal? Why?

Had the sudden thought of Nancy really, really liking opossums for whatever reason and I just think that's very characteristic of her to love what would be considered an unorthodox animal to find cute by most. Like when she was really little, she’d look around her father’s old shed, and once came across this full grown opossum that she then proceeded to take and bring inside, much to Elena’s eventual horror.

Little Nancy when her mother comes home and, completely astonished, asks her why on God’s EARTH she thought to bring in a possibly rabies-infested animal as the latter stumbles upon her running a bath for it:

2. What sort of music would they like? Have you thought about what genres or bands do they lean towards? Do they have a favorite song?

In canon, Nancy would have a preference for softer, orchestral music—a record she can put on while she's on her own, either writing or even during a lowkey read if she's feeling particularly antsy. I can see her really liking music by Leo Reisman and his orchestra, particularly stuff ranging from the late 1920s to the early 40s. In terms of singers, she'd probably be a fan of Elizabeth Welch, especially for her song "The Girl I Knew" (1935).

If this were the 21st century, Nancy would 1000% be a Mitski and even Crane Wives fan for Reasons.
