assorted thoughts on: how the muses' wrap gifts based on @strangewonderful's muse question of the day

tadashi is very good at wrapping, but he rarely uses wrapping paper. more often than not, a gift from tadashi is wrapped in a paper grocery bag he deconstructed, or paper from sketches he no longer needs. he's an adamant proponent of scratch paper and having a scratch paper bin in his lab so sometimes things come from there. he always manages to make it look nice rather than last minute.

buttercup loves to throw something in a box. if she can put some confetti or pom pom type objects to fill it, all the better, but she's a box girl all the way. no box? gift right into your hand.

romeo has gotten very good at wrapping. he comes from a childhood of building theater sets and making props. he should not be underestimated with a craft. but also, his go to gift for everyone is books which makes his job very easy! he's gotten into more creative means of wrapping too. he does use the weirdest wrapping paper ever though and one year he didn't pay attention and the design was on the inside.

jennifer is decent at wrapping a gift. it is something that takes her time, so usually she will default to a bag with layers of tissue paper and a ribbon on the handle. if it's a gift for the avengers, she buys avenger themed wrapping paper. she thinks its funny. she'll try to get something very direct and on the nose for whoever she's gifting it to.

natasha uses a little bit too much tape but she gets the job done. she's not that fussy, she doesn't really care for a ribbon. if it's oddly shaped, there's more tape. her biggest struggle really is that she keeps using the little tapes that are semi transparent and don't hold anything well.

bob is... he's patient with his wrapping paper but he will fully throw a piece away if it's clear that this might be his 3rd or 4th fold of it and it's starting to get those white rubbed off design creases. it's gonna be sweet though, he likes to do a bow! he's very good at doing bow designs with it.

bradley puts it in a bag. bradley hasn't really done gifts over the years and when he does, he's putting it in a bag. no hassle.

josh needs somebody else to wrap it. if he can get someone else to wrap it he will. he thinks the best addition in consumerism has been the in store gift wrappers. that being said, he's perfectly capable of a decent wrap job.

cj is a box person. sometimes she'll add a very simple ribbon, but usually it's just a box. it's what's fast, and she really doesn't want to deal with the trials of wrapping.

donna is a very simple wrapper. she's very good at it, but she doesn't let it ruin her day. she's wrapped a lot of stuff, and she honestly thinks not everything has to be incredibly sharped and pressed. there's some homey feeling to a little bit of puff and extra love. she loves a very classic paper like a plaid or something with cute drawings

midge knows how to wrap. midge could wrap a bicycle, she could wrap a pony, she would find a way to wrap you a house. she loves a bow and she loves the holidays. the finest gift wrapping you will ever see and experience in your life will come from her.

cathy is going to show you a ribbon so masterful and then call it "just a little 'ol family trick" she knows. she's been making the same full out ribbon on gifts since she was a little girl. the wrapping is alright, but the bow is the masterpiece.

finnick: let me just say. you're lucky if it isn't handed to you wet.

buck is still watching the same youtube video on repeat. actually not the whole video, but just the same 6 seconds where he's not sure what just happened and he needs to see it more, and no it doesn't occur to him to slow down the video. the gift will be wrapped well.

bobby is CLEAN with those folds. the 118 is lined up outside his door when they need something wrapped and he takes a lot of pride in that. he might even host a little santa's workshop to teach everyone to wrap and yes he calls it that.

ellie likes to put a gift right into someone's hands. she's a little too excited about whatever she's gifting because usually she picks something so good or just so cheeky that she doesn't even want to wait through the other person unwrapping it.

elizabeth uses a box for everything. everything needs to be easy to wrap and she just won't do something odd shaped that's hard. she knows how to wrap a box though so things go in a box and she lines that with tissue paper for an added touch. then it's wrapped and it's decent!

trip... for all his engineering… theres like 6 added pieces to that thing bc he hasnt measured correctly. in fact hes so good at engineering that he was like. i fuckin got this. enjoy this surgery job of a wrap

paul tries to wrap things with wrapping paper. he really does try. it's not good though. he should stop trying. he hands the gift over and knows it's not a great job, but it's a job and it's the gift that matters and these are all things he will say to the person too.

gen goes for wrapping but no bow. he also sticks to red or gold wrapping paper usually as a preference! he's pretty good at it and when it comes to an oddly shaped object will commit to finding a way around it that still looks nice. he might do that thing where it's rolled up like a tube with a rubber band or tie on each end.

joann wraps all things with natural materials, or as close to natural as it gets with the replicators and such. she'll use a rope or a twine in place of a ribbon, but ribbons work too. she will forgo paper usually and it's just wrapped with the tie!

adira goes for a box with a ribbon! the ribbon is just your most basic kind, but really the presentation is kept absolutely simple.

spock doesn't wrap gifts usually. he's much more of a hand someone something directly kind of guy. that being said, he's been around humans who do wrap for a while and so sometimes he might put it in a very nice piece of fabric!

mark: bag alert. this one's putting it in a bag. one time, he gave a present directly in the store bag he bought it in.

farrah doesn't wrap things. she's also a put it in your hands directly sort of person, but also she doesn't tend to do big gifts. more often than not it's a small token of something and so it might go into a pouch if anything at all.

neal gives gifts that wrapping is at times not necessary for. a nice bottle of wine comes in a box. beautiful jewelry comes in a pristine box. his gifts speak for themselves. he's never wrapped anything and he might risk a paper cut if he does.

holly wraps it in tissue paper by just folding it over and over but like... sides open. it's weird. it's a mess. she also puts it in a bag.

          “Goddamn it,” Josie cursed as she shoved her phone back into her purse, having just got a call that Rowan had been arrested and she had to end her shopping trip early. She didn’t stop as she put her phone away, taking her eyes off of the store around her, still pushing the trolley. The sound of her trolley crashing into something had her instinctively bringing her hands up to cover her ears with a grimace. They quickly dropped though and her head snapped back up to see the damage that had been done, heart pounding in her ears. 

          “Sorry!” she immediately apologized when she saw that it was someone else’s trolley. “I’m so sorry, my daughter just got arrested and I have to bail her out and- I am so sorry. You really don’t need to hear my life story, do you?” No damage had been done as far as she could tell, but she was more terrified of the embarrassment and possibly getting berated. She was also still on edge from the noise of it all.

INFO.

great-great-great-great grandson of doctor josiah barlett,  who signed the declaration of independence.

watches sports to unwind, massive notre dame fan.

wrote a really boring book on economics.

won a nobel prize in economics.

diagnosed with a relapsing-remitting course of multiple sclerosis in 1991;  something he kept from the public until just prior to announcing he’d seek a second term as president in 2001.

never lost an election.

considers all members (save leo) of his former senior staff + charlie young to be his ‘adopted’ children ok fight me on this.  you need a dad or a grandpa?  he’ll probably ‘adopt’ you too.

scored 1590 on the SAT,  retook it to try to get a perfect score,  got another 1590 rip.

national parks junkie,  don’t let him talk to you about national parks.

generally just really smart and tends to show that off.

his father was a devout protestant,  his mother was roman catholic.  jed elected to follow in his mother’s footsteps and join the catholic church.

attended notre dame university, despite being accepted to harvard and yale, due to a desire to join the clergy --- this changed when he met his future wife.

loves space!!!!  wanted to be an astronaut and (falsely) claims he’d have been a great one!!!!

i’ll add more later as my rewatch progresses <3
