#「 inbox 」katherine plumber

[transitofmercury]

Hi Mercury! I hope you’re doing well. This is sort of random but as I was enjoying all your Katherine Plumber posts, I had this thought and wanted to hear your opinion… Do you think that if Atti and Orla were in a Newsies AU, Atti would be Katherine (they’re both clever, academic, & from wealth/well educated but open-minded) and Orla would be Jack (they’re both scrappy, resourceful, passionate about justice & fiercely loyal to “their people”)? Not to mention the whole diplomacy vs. aggression dichotomy. Katherine & Atti are very much “we can talk this out and reason to a solution” whereas Jack & Orla are more “let’s go rough stuff up” 😂

Hi Acacia!! I hope you're doing well too. Honestly, I sprained my ankle when I was running to catch a train yesterday, but seeing this ask in my inbox once I got home cheered me right up. Thank you so much for this ask because you have accidentally given me an opportunity to talk about how I have a real category when it comes to my faves.

The thing about my Newsies obsession and my (current, technically I've been obsessed since it came out) Horrible Histories: The Movie obsession is that they actually started around the same time. Maybe a month apart, but basically the same time almost exactly three years ago. So my interest in both has developed together and I definitely do think that if I were to put Atti and Orla into a direct Newsies AU, Orla would be Jack and Atti would be Katherine, both for the personality traits that you pointed out and where they exist within the power structures each story is about. But I also think that I'm interested in Katherine for a lot of the same reasons I'm interested in Orla - they seem so different on the surface but there are some common themes there. 

Orla and Kath are the basis for a category of characters I've been calling my pseudo-nepo-babies lately, not quite what you imagine when someone says 'nepo-baby' but it still feels like they have a strange distorted form of nepotism behind them. Before this category was expanded to include my medical drama fave, I just called them the historical daughters of powerful men club. Which doesn’t even really cover it. The thing that really draws me into Katherine is her relationship with Pulitzer. While Atti/Orla is the main factor in my obsession with the HH movie, Orla's relationship with Arghus is probably the reason I gravitate more towards her. Ages ago, I made a post saying that Orla & Arghus and Katherine & Pulitzer are on complete opposite ends of my Slipping Through My Fingers by ABBA to Never Love an Anchor by The Crane Wives sliding scale of historical father-daughter relationships, and I stand by that. So there's that element: something about imperfect and complex and even outright unhealthy (in the case of the Pulitzers) family relationships and weird-nepotism is the common denominator across all my faves.

I guess I also think they're both quite a lot like their dads in some ways, as well. I talk about Katherine being like Pulitzer a lot, because my version of her is secretly proud to know that she’s the most like him out of all her siblings (and is a bit doomed by that pride). I don't talk about it nearly as much with Orla and Arghus because it's harder to explain exactly what I think, but some of Orla's best traits are ones you can also see in her dad yet I don't think she is proud of it at all. Orla loves her dad but she wants to be like her mum and I guess the best way to describe what I think is happening there is that Orla knows she is too much like her dad to be able to be enough like her mum, and she doesn’t like that. I don’t have the brain power to expand on it right now, and it would absolutely derail the post into me talking about my headcanons about Orla’s parents, but that’s how I see it. There's also something in there with them both doing the same 'jobs' as their dad's, but Katherine and Pulitzer both chose to go into journalism while Orla and Arghus were both born to rule the tribe. So there's that element of characters being more like parental figures than they would like to admit. 

I think stuff to do with culture is also a big part of how I see them even if canon might not focus on it so much with Katherine - Orla as a part of the first generation to grow up under Roman rule and Katherine as a second generation immigrant. Loyalty and betrayal comes up a lot. This is nowhere near everything I could say, but there are some themes that show up across a lot of my faves in very different ways, and the things I focus on about Orla and Katherine are often the extremes of how those things could show up. They're so different but I like them for similar reasons so they exist in the same category of character in my personal interpretation of them.

Anyway, to finally actually answer your ask, despite them being a part of this same category of character I've invented, I do think that Orla has more in common with Jack and Katherine has more in common with Atti in terms of their personalities and how they approach things. Also, with Newsies' focus on class and the HH movie's focus on the Roman Empire, I think they are in more comparable positions within those systems - Jack and Orla are as the people struggling under/against them, while Katherine and Atti unwillingly benefit from the systems. Of course, there are plenty of ways that Katherine (as a woman) and Atti (as an un-Roman Roman) are limited within these system, and ways that Jack (as a man) and Orla (as the daughter of a chief, specifically within Celtic society) have power in them, too. Another thing about Atti and Katherine that I've just thought of: the way they would use writing. I imagine that as Katherine gets older she just gets more and more involved with writing articles about workers' rights and working class struggles. Similarly, the longer Atti spends in Britain, the more he realises that some Roman accounts of Britain aren't quite fair or accurate and he begins to write down his own experiences to try and set the record straight. 

I don't know how to wrap this up now because so many things are in my head: I totally agree with you, I also have a real type of character I like to obsess over, thank you SO MUCH for giving me an opportunity to ramble, and I hope you didn't mind getting such a rambly response too much!

at his words , KATHERINE averted her eyes momentarily. she never asked jack to let go , she just assumed he already did. now it seems like she was the one who let him go , even if that was the furthest from the truth. given her currently ‘ betrothed ’ status , she couldn’t freely admit that tidbit of truth. not in it’s entirety. “ i know , ” she let out with a long sigh. she looked at him , a hint of sorrow in her eyes. “ but i don’t know what we can do , jack ... i don’t know ... i don’t know what’s for the best anymore. ”

( orpheus )

gold: describe what you would call the most perfect meal.

❝ i’m not much of a foodie but... maybe one of my mom’s pasta dishes? she makes a good lasgna, funny enough. it obviously wouldn’t be perfect if it wasn’t with my mom. like a chill night in, no worrying about work, maybe even a chick flick. a dinner and a movie, if you will.  ❞

THE CYBER AU ✧･ﾟ

the world.

set in a dystopian future, most of the human population has been killed off by an artificially-created virus that governments lost control of. now only a select handful of individuals survive, living in a cutting-edge technological society within one gradually expanding city. these individuals are cybernetically enhanced to give them a chance against the odds.

the city is centred around a glass palace, which houses the royalty and those closest to them. from there, rich suburbs splinter off, and these gradually get poorer the further out you go. the poorest members of society live right on the edge, overlooking the dangerous wastelands that exist beyond. dotted around those areas you may encounter rebel bases, as being outside the city is the only place they can consider themselves truly safe.

the royalty established a strict class system within a few months, and colour became the way of determining which class you came from. red, orange and yellow make up the upper class, with green and blue in the middle and pink and purple making up the lower class. black, white and grey make up the “colourless” factions.

movement between classes is extremely rare, with the exception of those who defect to “colourless” classes. once you are given a colour, you will remain in that class for the rest of your life, unless the royalty seems you more suited to a different class. the process to switch classes is extensive, however, and many will not consider class movement an option.

relationships do occur between classes, however most people will try and date/marry within their own class. it is seen as shameful to be involved with a person below your own class, particularly if you are a member of the upper class. relationships between classes, however, do occur — they are just uncommon.

the people.

on their 18th birthday, children are given their colour depending on their personality and suitability for the different roles each class has. prior to this, they are considered “colourless”, as it is not possible to assign a child their colour at birth, and 18 was agreed as the most suitable time to do this. it is not guaranteed that a child will be of the same class of their parent(s), however it is likely due to shared personality traits.

red (spot conlon) — reds are royalty, and those closely associated with them. their main responsibility is ruling over the city and keeping society in check, enforcing the system they created. they are aware of the threat of uprising from the rebellious blacks, and their fierce natures mean they will do anything to keep their power. they are highly respected by the upper classes, but many people in the middle and lower classes harbour a lot of bitterness and resentment towards these people.

orange (katherine plumber, david jacobs, sarah jacobs, les jacobs, specs) — oranges are the next closest to royalty, consisting mostly of lords, ladies, dukes and duchesses. they’re the strategical brains of the city, heading the plans for future development. they’re also heavily involved in the design and development for new enhancements, creating new and experimental modules for potential use. they are similarly fierce to reds, although they have a more underhanded and manipulative nature. they are respected by yellows, although a lot of lower class citizens dislike this class and are wary of their behaviour.

yellow (hotshot, myron, graves, york) — yellow are the lowest of the upper class, mostly consisting of bodyguards for those in the red and orange classes. they’re the most enhanced individuals in society. they’re often strong leaders, and have very forceful, dominant personalities. in the yellows, it’s all about who you know — those who have the honour of guarding the royalty are the most respected within their class. more than anything, they’re feared by lower classes, and are typically ones to avoid.

green (racetrack higgins, romeo, jojo de la guerra) — green are natural-born creators. they’re typically actors, dancers, artists, writers, musicians and comedians. they’re the top of the middle class, although there’s always a sense of jealousy within this class for not being part of the upper class. they’re extremely intelligent, although this typically overlooked. they are typically extremely easy to get along with due to their funny, easygoing personalities. greens are something of a neutral ground to every class, although some will work as informants for both the royalty and rebels at a price.

light blue (jack kelly, kid blink, finch cortes, sniper) — light blues are adventurers first and foremost. they’re typically used to explore the surrounding wastelands and report back any potential hazards — although who they choose to report to depends on their loyalties. some will report to royalty for the city’s expansion, whilst others will report to the rebels for new potential hideouts. they get along well with greens, due to their lively and outgoing personalities. most of the middle class like light blues, and the lower class typically don’t have much of an opinion.

dark blue (tommy boy, mush meyers, mike, ike) — dark blues are survivors and warriors. the middle class fighters, rather than bodyguards they act as protectors for the city’s edges. the wastelands are full of dangerous creatures, and the dark blues primarily defend against these threats. they’re also greatly enhanced, similar to yellows. they’re typically reserved and stoic, and get along with yellows despite the class difference. most people are afraid to start conflict with these, and lower classes tend to respect them for the protection.

purple (albert dasilva, elmer kasprzak, henry butler, kenny) — purples were once the slaves of the reds and oranges, although they eventually rose up and claimed their own independence. they now make up the lower class, acting as merchants and servicepeople. they’re somewhat wary of anyone from the upper classes due to their tumultuous past, and have a fierce nature that rivals that of reds in some ways. they tend to be slightly more placid once they’ve grown comfortable. most purples dislike any of the upper classes.

pink (smalls, crutchie morris, buttons davenport) — pinks are the lowest of low. this class is mostly made up of petty criminals, prostitutes and invalids, and is frequently used by the upper class for experimentation of new enhancement modules. they do, however, share similarities with greens in that many of them have extremely creative natures. some of the more successful pinks may become marketplace traders, although they are frequently discriminated against due to their status. they’re usually sweet and enthusiastic, although they are extremely easy to manipulate — some people will use this to their advantage. most classes look down on pinks, although greens and purples have some sympathy towards them.

white — whites are the first of the defected groups. these people don’t fit into the normal colour system, and instead work outside of it as medical professionals. they’re very kindhearted and gentle, mostly working for the upper and middle classes — although they will work with lower class as well, due to their need to provide for anyone who needs their work and their dislike of the current system. all whites are pacifists, although they do support the rebels in nonviolent ways. they’re universally respected due to the necessity of their work.

grey — greys are the middle ground between whites and blacks. they’re not pacifists, but have the healing qualities of whites. they’re typically involved in organising protests and boycotts, as well as caring for injured rebels and lower class members. they’re very kind and understanding, with a passion to change the current system. they typically avoid upper and middle classes, although they get along with other rebels and the lower class.

black — blacks make up the rebel group who are preparing to overthrow the system. made up of defected colours who broke away from the current system. most blacks are sympathetic and gentle towards lower classes, although they have a lot of aggression and bitterness towards upper classes. they’re fiercely protectively of the lower classes and the other rebel groups, with a strong hatred towards the upper and middle classes — although they have been known to pay greens and light blues for information.

masterlist

“I’m going to be on Broadway.”

The words tumble out of your mouth faster than you prefer, faster than you wish they had.

You’re not sure what to expect from your friends. Yes, they all knew your time on Spider-Man would be short. A small part of Homecoming, that was set in stone from the beginning. They knew that all along. However, they did believe they’d have a little more time then a month or two.

And they also knew that, while you love screen acting, Broadway was and is your dream. It’s everything you love — dancing, singing, acting, live audiences — and they knew they should be happy for you. Most of them are.

“Oh my god,” squeals Zendaya as she wraps her arms around you. “What show? What part? When did you even audition? Answer me!”

“Well uh, I went when I told you guys I was seeing my parents,” you admit, twiddling with your fingers shyly.

“What?” Laura replies, shocked. “Why?”

Your voice comes out gentle and timid. “Well I, I just didn’t want to get my hopes up by letting other people know, so I kept it to myself.”

“Okay, so,” Jacob says excitedly. “What role? Show? When do you leave?”

“Well,” your cheeks turn red with excitement and happiness. “Katherine Plumber in Newsies!” You scream, unable to hold your excitement and eagerness in for much longer.

“Oh my god!” Zendaya puts her hands on your shoulders. “Isn’t that like, your favorite musical?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” You jump up and down, a hyper feeling filling your body.

“I’m so proud of you!” Laura giggles as she pulls you into a tight hug, rocking you back and forth.

Jacob pipes up from next to her. “Seriously, me too.”

“Tom?” You ask as you pull away nervously, pulling your sweater over your hands and onto your palms. “What do you think?”

You know you should be happy with your accomplishments, with what you’ve done. And the reactions of your other friends, the support they’ve shown you and are currently showing you. But you can’t help but wonder what Tom thinks, what’s going on in that beautiful and complex head of his, why he isn’t happy for you, or so it seems.

“It’s great,” he mutters dejectedly before standing up, turning away, and walking out the door.

You don’t say goodbye to Tom before you leave for New York. You try to, you really do, but he avoids you. When you walk into a room, he walks out. When you say hello, he mutters a quiet and short response before leaving.

You text him the day you leave. Standing in the Atlanta Airport, waiting for your flight.

To: Tom Holland

hey. am boarding soon. just wanted to say goodbye.

You sit send with a quiet sigh caught in your throat, by the lump that’s taken it’s place.

It’s a lively and lovely night at the Nederlander Theatre. Three months into your run of the show, three months of fulfilled dreams and happiness. Three months of little to no Tom.

You miss him. That much you can admit to yourself. Because as much as you don’t want to, as big of a dick he was before you left, your heart hurts and is heavy for the boy who’d become your best friend. You’re not sure what the two of you are anymore.

“Y/N,” Ben knocks on your dressing room door. “Five minutes,” he reminds you before shutting the door.

“Okay, thanks, Ben!” You call after him.

There are benefits to not being in the first couple of scenes of the show. You can listen to the audience and how they’re doing, what they’re reacting you. You can take your time getting ready. You can do extensive warm ups. You can long for a text from your best friend. The last one might be exclusive to you.

“Katherine, those boys are counting on you,” you recite, pushing yourself into your fake set chair. You can barely see the crowd, too blinded by the bright lights of the stage and the fourth wall, but you can feel them. You can feel their heat and their energy as you belt out your last notes before stomping off stage.

The rest of the show goes perfectly. Often, there are problems, like the splitting of the boys’ pants, or dropping of the newspaper. But it goes perfectly tonight, a rarity. You feel pride swell in your chest.

“Knock knock,” Ben says happily, opening the door to your dressing room. “Did you already go to the stage door?”

“Yeah,” you pull an earring from your ear. “Really nice audience tonight. Met a real cute little girl at the stage door, dressed as Katherine.”

He takes a seat on the little couch in the corner. “Think I saw her too. Simply adorable. Anyway, there are people waiting for you in the hallway. Also, stage manager got flowers for you. Someone dropped them off. Spider-Man?” He says, voice layed in confusion

“Really?” You stand up excitedly. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Calm down,” Ben laughs. “They’re not going anywhere.”

You bolt out the door, quickly pushing yourself through waves of cast members and friends. “Oof, sorry Josh, yeah, okay, sorry!” You scream in apology over your shoulder.

Laura is the first one you see. She’s got a bright smile spread over her face, her arms crossed as she checks her phone. Zendaya, Jacob, and Angourie stand next to her, basically doing the same.

“Guys!”

Their heads snap up. “Y/N?”

You squeeze Jacob, holding him tightly. “I didn’t know you guys were coming!”

“Well,” Laura starts. “We were in New York for a few scenes and couldn’t pass up surprising our favorite Broadway star! You were great!”

“Yeah, really amazing,” agreed Zendaya. “Now I see why Newsies is your favorite.”

“It really is the best, huh?” You joke, hands on your hips.

And then you hear it. A soft voice, laced underneath a British accent and a layer of light. Tom.

“Guys, the bathroom is— Y/N, hi.”

“Hi?” You reply awkwardly.

“We’re gonna give you guys some space. Meet some of your friends,” Jacob says as he pulls the girls away.

“So,” you rock back and forth on the heels on your feet. “Hi.”

Tom stuffs his hands into his pocket. “Hey.”

“What are— what are you doing here?” You motion to the room around you.

“I missed you,” admits Tom. “So much.”

The lump in your throat gets bigger. “We would’ve stayed in touch, if not for you.”

He looks down at his shoes, voice caught in his throat.

“Why do you do it, huh?” You press, pushing his chest with your finger. “Do you know how much it hurt? I thought you hated me! I still do. You were my best friend and you broke me. Didn’t even say goodbye.”

His voice cracks. “Were?”

“That’s all you got of that whole spiel, really? Selective hearing.”

You’re angry. Red hot, white hot. It’s clouding your vision and and your senses and your judgement. You can’t listen to a word that’s coming out of his mouth, too upset and too hurt. Sadness and anger were always something that went hand in hand with you.

“I—,” Tom moves his feet awkwardly. “Was scared. Am scared. Because, well I was losing you.”

“So you chose to lose me even more?”

“I’m stupid, I know,” he runs his hands through his hair. “But I’m just so goddamn in love with you, the thought of you leaving hurt me so bad. Because I thought if I pushed you away, it would hurt less, but God, Y/N, it still hurt so bad. Even more, I guess.”

“You’re so fucking stupid, Tom,” you cross your arms. “So fucking stupid.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“But I fucking love you, you fucking dumbass.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah,” you mutter as you pull his lips closer to yours. “So much.”

Newsies

Put a musical in my inbox and I'll answer... have i listened: yes
seen it live: (sadly) no
fave number: Watch What Happens or Santa Fe 
fave character: Jack Kelly or Katherine Plumber (that's kinda obvious by this blog)

[autism-asks]

is it possible to have an si inside of an si? my special interest is newsies but i think the character katherine plumber from newsies might be a separate special interest too?

It is very possible! Nearly anything can be a SpIn, and it is possible to have multiple SpIns at a time!

I have had SpIns within SpIns before, and also Newsies isn’t one, but I love all musicals, and if you ever wish to infodump, please do so in my inbox @kcomplexes.

(Also, we ask our followers to avoid using SI as an abbreviation for Special Interest, as SI has been used to mean self-injury, and may be triggering for those with a history of self-injury. Please use the abbreviations SpIn or spin.)

Enjoy your SpIns!-Cogs

@stxrlightrph​​ / @fromtoystory​​ 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 “ only YOU could convince me to do something like this! ” any characters!! [ [ still accepting ] ]

an almost mischievous smirk painted KATHERINE’s lips. she was almost proud of forcing her friend to join her during her latest assignment: a new escape room. “ you are surprisingly easy to persuade , ” she said with a smirk as she looked around the room. it was just the two of them , and they were maybe 20 minutes into the hour. “ you’re just frustrated , ” the journalist commented as she started to shuffle through the papers on the desk. she looked for clues on how to unlock the safe they recently uncovered. “ just keep looking for ... random numbers or something. ”

[musicalmumu]

@mxrrorbcll​ 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 “ you deserve more than i could ever give you. ” (jatherine 😬)

KATHERINE swore she could hear her own heart breaking at his words. “ do not say that , ” she retorted almost immediately. she never wanted jack to feel less than her for whatever reason. it didn’t matter what fights they had , what harsh words were exchanged ; she never saw jack kelly as less than. if anything , she didn’t deserve him for all he was. she didn’t deserve the way he looked at her , the faith he had put in her , and never mind his heart. “ i didn’t deserve what you did give me. don’t think i ever wanted more. ”

[musicalmumu]

@hxwboutadance​ 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 “ please, let me help you. ” [ kat + sarah ]

“ i don’t need your help. ” the words came out harsher than KATHERINE intended. she was stressed , which was only worsened by recent events. she was never the nicest when she was stressed. she closed her eyes and paused before looking up at her best friend. “ i’m fine. i don’t need any help. ” her tone kinder this time. “ thank you though. ” she offered a quick smile before returning to the pile of newspapers in front of her. she was attempting to do research for her article ; but she just couldn’t seem to focus. “ as soon as this is done , i can move onto the next thing ... ”

[musicalmumu]

@mxrrorbcll​​ 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 “ why do you walk around as if you’re somehow less valuable than the rest of the world? ” (deja vu verse jatherine)

“ i do not ! ” KATHERINE insisted , shocked by the question. she was the type who tried to never think herself better than anyone else , but this did not go hand - in - hand with how she constantly compared herself to her peers. she was confident in her work , claiming she deserved better , but sometimes she wondered if there was some justification to her position or lack there of. her work was her life ; if she wasn’t good at that , then was was her purpose ?? still , she always maintained a constant air of confidence , but perhaps jack was just able to see through it all. “ what even makes you say that , huh ?? ”

[musicalmumu]

@ownfilm​ 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 ' talk to me ' (mark to kat) :) 

KATHERINE constantly tried to prevent her personal life from seeping into her professional one. it proved difficult when they seemed to exist in the same realm. earlier that morning , she received a call from her father , offering her yet another position at his company ; a much better position in comparison to the one she currently held. no one was crazy enough to turn down such an offer ; no one but her. 

she wasn’t about to let her father get in her head again , thus she attempted to work on her assignments best she could. she was working with mark once again , which eased some of the tension. still , she wanted to get through the day as smoothly as possible. she followed the director’s instruction today without her usual fuss. he seemed to catch on after only a handful of takes.

“ and what are you talking about ?? ” she feigned ignorance in response. she was never quick to talk about herself. after all , as a journalist , she much preferred reporting on other’s peoples lives than her own. she shot mark a look , once to match the one he was giving her. “ i know we aren’t done , so why are we wasting time right now ?? can we just continue , hm ? ”

@mxrrorbcll 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 ღ for jack and kath AND sky and sophie bc i love them too much

𝑱𝑨𝑪𝑲 && 𝑲𝑨𝑻𝑯

Who’s the first to wake up in the morning: JACK. i bet he wakes up with the sun , while katherine is a bit more capable of sleeping in.

Who’s the one to make breakfast: JACK. katherine can’t cook , but she’s attempted ... she just prefers when jack does.

Who’s the one to serve the other breakfast in bed: JACK. see above / katherine isn’t one to typically serve anyone

Who would suggest a quickie in the morning before work: JACK and the only reason kath doesn’t immediately give in is cause it’s fun to watch him try.

Who suggests they both ditch work to lay around all day: KATH. while yes , katherine takes her work extremely seriously , she has a lot less to risk missing a day of work than jack typically does.

Who chooses the movies: KATH but only because she has strong opinions on what she won’t watch... 

Who initiates kissing during the movie, thus distracting the other from the movie all together: JACK. even when he’s the one to pick the movie , i doubt they ever get past the first act. safe to say they have to watch the same movie(s) multiple times to truly grasp the plot.

Who orders lunch: JACK because kath always orders the same thing , and also he uses it as an excuse to make her try new things.

Who steals food from the other’s plate without asking: BOTH. kath always gives him a look when he does it , while jack almost pretends not to notice.

Who curls up next to the other and falls asleep due to a full tummy:  JACK. when they go out for a good meal , and he falls asleep in her lap , kath feels it was a successful evening at the very least.

Who distracts the other from trying to work at home: JACK mostly , but katherine likes to distract him when he’s been painting for too long ( in her humble opinion )

Who asks to go get ice cream like a five year old: KATH. it’s the puppy dog eyes as they pass the ice parlor , though since she’s the one to ask , she usually insists on paying for it.

Who takes pictures of their partner eating ice cream: BOTH ? kath will snap random pictures , but jack draws random sketches. 

Who makes a sexual joke about the dripping ice cream on their partner’s face: JACK. kath quickly turns red as she attempts to wipe it off her face and pretends to be offended by such jokes. however , he’s the one that actually manages to wipe it off for her.

Who cooks dinner: JACK. kath tries to help , learning more and more ways to help , but jack is just much better.

Who cleans up the kitchen afterwards: BOTH. kath insists on doing the cleaning up , but they end up just doing it together. one of them always gets sprayed with the sink , it seems ...

Who stays up until 2 reading: KATH. she’s probably actually writing , working on her next article , but she’s re - reading the same paragraphy over and over again.

Who stares at their partner while their sleeping: KATH. jack just seems so peaceful in his sleep. she denies ever watching him when she’s get caught , though.

Who kisses their partner while they sleep: JACK. i bet , at some point , he’s basically her alarm clock , kissing her awake in the morning. she tries to push him away , but it rarely works.

𝑺𝑲𝒀 && 𝑺𝑶𝑷𝑯𝑰𝑬

Who’s the first to wake up in the morning: SOPHIE. she doesn’t like donna working alone in the morning for too long.

Who’s the one to make breakfast: SKY. sophie’s always in a rush in the morning , it seems , but sky likes to make sure she’s fed.

Who’s the one to serve the other breakfast in bed: SOPHIE. if it’s a special occasion , or she’s just up with time to spare , she makes a mean breakfast in bed.

Who would suggest a quickie in the morning before work: SKY and it’s rare that she doesn’t give in.

Who suggests they both ditch work to lay around all day: SKY.  it’s not like sophie can get fired for being a little late after all ...

Who chooses the movies: SKY cause sophie has a terrible taste in movies.

Who initiates kissing during the movie, thus distracting the other from the movie all together: BOTH. if one of them doesn’t care for the movie , they are constantly trying to distract the other. however , it’s not uncommon for one to pick a movie knowing they aren’t going to watch it at all.

Who orders lunch: SOPHIE if at the inn , SKY anywhere else. he just has a wider expertise in food , considering his travels.

Who steals food from the other’s plate without asking: SOPHIE , but only cause sky always seems to be ordering whatever she seems to be craving. 

Who curls up next to the other and falls asleep due to a full tummy: SOPHIE but she always curls up and falls asleep on him almost any given night.

Who distracts the other from trying to work at home: SOPHIE whenever sky is trying to focus on anything business - y related. it’s boring and she knows she is more fun.

Who asks to go get ice cream like a five year old: SOPHIE. she’s gets so excited and practically begs. he can’t say no.

Who takes pictures of their partner eating ice cream: SKY , purely cause sophie refuses to live through her screen. 

Who makes a sexual joke about the dripping ice cream on their partner’s face: SOPHIE , but only if pepper isn’t around to make it first.

Who cooks dinner: BOTH. if they’re making dinner , they’re making it together. the only argument if one if trying to cook for the other for some special occastion.

Who cleans up the kitchen afterwards: BOTH / NEITHER ? they are horrible at cleaning up. they only clean up when they realize how much of a mess they made ...

Who stays up until 2 reading: SKY. especially if he’s reading something business related , soph will joking ask him to read it to her to help her fall asleep.

Who stares at their partner while their sleeping: SKY. it’s the only time soph isn’t a ball of energy.

Who kisses their partner while they sleep: BOTH. if he’s asleep when she gets up in the morning , she always gives him a little kiss before jumping out of bed. he always kisses her good night , even if she’s fully asleep , and wake her up with a kiss on the rare occasion he’s up first.
