OC Ask Game
I was tagged by the amazing @illegalcerebral
I put a Keep Reading link because this is looong.
1) Name (and why you chose it if you like) McKinley Campbell Durand. I named her after McKinley Morganfield, better known as Muddy Waters. However, the âin universe?â reason that will be given - which I havenât written yet - is that McKinley and Campbell are family names from a few generations back.
Campbell comes from the Gaelic words for âcrookedâ and âmouth.â I just like the name. Hereâs a post (that I had to rewrite because Tumblrâs a dick and wouldnât let me edit the typos in the original. The rewrite had typos too! Blargh!) that discusses her first and last names. I thought it would be funny for her full name to consist solely of last names.
2) Fandom and how they fit into the story Criminal Minds. She works at a D.C. museum practically around the corner from the J. Edgar Hoover building (as indicated in âLet It Bleedâ). Thatâs a tiny hint that itâs the National Museum of African American History & Culture, but I donât think Iâll mention it very often, if for no other reason than Iâve never been to the NMAAHC and donât want to describe it inaccurately.
The official story is that Spencer and McKinley met at the museum (again, in âLet It Bleed,â which is probably the least favorite thing of mine that Iâve written). However, theyâd met once before, and texted a few times after that. Because my brain is all over the place, and because Iâm telling the story in non-chronological order, I havenât written their first meeting yet. The only details Iâve revealed thus far are that it was nighttime in a park, McKinley caught Spencer off guard and made him fall to the ground, and whatever they talked about set Spencer straight and lifted his spirits. Also, a swingset was involved. Beyond that, Iâve inserted McKinley into the plotlines and events of the show, with necessary alterations, and thereâs a ton of domestic Spencer and off-duty team stuffs.
3) Do they have any family? Biological family: daughter Sophie and son Jason; her Mom (no name yet); maternal grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins; and her estranged father (no name yet). Chosen/found family: husband Spencer; the BAU.
4) As a child, what did they want to be when they grew up? When she was a toddler, McKinley wanted to be a pediatrician (a doctor just for kids?! Cool!) or an ophthalmologist (sheâs worn glasses practically her whole life). As an older child she aspired to be an entomologist or herpetologist. In her teenage years she considered a career in forensic pathology or criminal psychology. While earning her BA in English, she discovered that Public History was her true calling.
5) Their greatest dream To be a good Mom. To inspire learning in others.
6) Their worst nightmare Losing her family; having to see her father again.
7) Strengths Empathy, insight/self awareness, forgiving nature but knowing when to cut her losses
8) Weaknesses McKinley struggles with imposter syndrome.
She can be very mean. I mean, downright nasty cruel, verbally. This is rare though because, and Iâm paraphrasing a future bit of dialogue here, anyone whose behavior could arguably warrant such a response is beneath her notice and not worth the effort. Sheâs more likely to close the door on someone. When sheâs removed a person from her life, she is done. They become literally nothing to her. McKinley will rightly claim that this is about self-preservation and boundaries, but she really takes it to the next level.
9) What would they chose between: morning and night, sweet and savoury, beaches or meadows, cities or countryside, winter or summer, Christmas or Halloween (sorry, Spencer!), movies or TV shows, action or rom-com, clowns or vampires, stars or the moon (both!), cocktails or pints [Neither. McKinley doesnât care for cocktails or beer. Scotch, brandy, rum, and dry wines are her poisons. Sheâs been known to add KahlĂșah to vanilla ice cream, Baileys Irish Cream to coffee (she wants to try Drambuie next), or make hot toddies when she has a cold (obviously not mixing any alcohol with any medicine)]
10) How do they relax? Reading, or having Spencer read to her; knitting; listening to her records or playing her guitar; exercising with Boogie so sheâs exhausted enough to sleep that night; baking and cooking
11) What makes them angry? Injustice, apathy/indifference, ableism, willful ignorance
12) What makes them afraid? The awful things sheâd possibly do under duress; her family getting hurt or worse; spiders and other bugs that bite and/or sting
13) What is a moment from their childhood that has shaped who they are? Itâs not a single event, but growing up with an abusive parent has certainly had a lifelong impact on McKinley. Youâve heard the expression âonce bitten, twice shy?â Sheâs âonce bitten, thereâs no twice because you no longer exist.â Sheâs working on that. Itâs also cultivated empathy, though, and is part of the reason she volunteers in the hospitalâs rehab wing.
14) Do they have a sense of humour? Intellectual humor, pop culture references, puns/Dad jokes, science jokes. Sometimes morbid.
15) What do they value in their friends/loved ones? Honesty and empathy
16) Do they have any pets? An Aussie Collie/Border Aussie named Boogie-Woogie. Heâs her first child.
17) Worst memory? Probably the day Meadows shot her and she thought sheâd never see Spencer and Penny again.
18) Best memory? The days Sophie and Jason were born. Minus, yâknow, the agonizing pain of labor and delivery.
19) Do they have any tattoos? (If no would they get one?) Nope and nope
20) If you could write them into another fandom, which one would you choose? If I knew the MCU better, Iâd love to write her in as a Stark Tower employee! Sheâd be an anthropologist and would study alien societies the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. have encountered. Sheâd naturally be drawn to Loki, initially in a professional capacity (they quickly discover they relate to each other on a personal level as well).
Heâd first find her annoying: âWhy are you pestering me, Mortal? Surely youâd rather interview my oaf of a brother?â
âNo, not even remotely. He only ever wants to discuss battles heâs won. Thereâs so much more to Asgard and the other realms than that. I want - I need - to learn your literature, your science, your culture and history. Youâre well versed in all of these subjects and youâre an excellent teacher.â
He stares at her impassively over his mug of tea, but his heart - that Judas of an organ - flutters slightly at the compliment. And how can he say no to a fellow scholar?
âI prefer your company to Thorâs too. You have this calming presence. Thorâs sweet but heâs also obnoxiously loud and brash and he always hugs me even though I keep telling him I donât like it. And heâs constantly swinging his hammer around, which makes me think heâs overcompensating for something.â
Loki nearly chokes on his tea. Yes, this mortal is considerably more tolerable than others.
âVery well. Friday evenings at 6:00, my chambers. Arrive late and suffer my wrath.â
From that day forward, whenever Thor tries to hug her, he gets mildly electrocuted.
Did I accidentally sorta kinda write a drabble? Would anyone be interested in making this a collab? Thatâs what theyâre called, right? (Can you tell Iâve given this some thought? Haha! I have even more details in my head.)
21) Do they like their job? (What else would they do if they could?) She loves it! Hmmm, what else� A librarian maybe. Or animate and produce an educational cartoon series.
22) What is their sexuality? Demisexual
23) Do they believe in love at first sight? Soulmates? One true love? McKinley believes in âseeing the potential for a good relationship at first conversation.â
Yes, although she feels that term has become overused and poorly redefined.
People can find love again after itâs been lost.
24) What music do they listen to? Has that changed over time? I actually recently answered an ask about this. Yes, she grew up on what passed for country in the â90s. God help her, she had a boyband phase in junior high.
25) Can they cook? What food do they love? McKinley does pretty well in the kitchen. She loves a wide variety of food. She grew up in the south, so tons of carbs/comfort foods. She loves Thai, Japanese, and Indian food. She cooks up Middle Earth-inspired dishes (ha! nerd). Sheâs especially proud of a seed cake she bakes.
26) What are their hopes for the future? For her family to be healthy, safe and happy. To be debt free.
27) How do they react to being threatened? Itâs a coin flip. McKinley might curl up like an armadillo and hope the predator gets bored and leaves, or she might kick the stool out from under them and cause their chin to slam into the bar and crack several teeth.
28) What is their love language? McKinley and Spencer both exhibit the Acts of Service love language, because just saying âI love youâ isnât enough. You ought to show it. Sheâll randomly bake doughnuts for Spencer or play guitar for him in bed, and heâll take care of laundry, dishes, and any other chores he sees need doing.
Quality Time is important for them too. Once a month, Luke and Penny babysit so Spencer and McKinley have a day alone together. It doesnât really matter what they do. The point is itâs just them.
It caught McKinley by surprise how much she enjoys physical affection, given that she can be touch averse but holy moly she was more touch starved than she realized. She lives for snuggles and makeout sessions and playing with each othersâ hair. When one of them doesnât want to be touched, they hook their pinkies together.
29) What do they find most challenging in relationships? At work? In general? At work she struggles to gain her colleaguesâ respect (think âBoy Geniusâ treatment except she has lady bits). In general, she struggles with trusting people.
30) What do you as a creator love best about writing this character? Giving her everything I wish I had but donât.
Bonus: Include a link to your favourite work with this OC or write a small drabble.
October 12, 2021
Warm sunlight filtered through the curtains, gently rousing Spencer from a pleasant sleep. Just when heâd decided to get up, he felt the mattress dip behind him and his wifeâs breath fanning over his ear.
âWhoâs the birthday boy?â whispered McKinley.
Spencer smiled softly but feigned being asleep.
âWhoâs the birthdaaay boooy?â she repeated, bouncing slightly.
âThe good-looking guy to your left?â
âHappy Birthday!â she laughed, pressing kisses along his neck, suddenly shifting the mood from playful to sexy.
âWould the birthday boy like his birthday present?â she asked as she lifted the covers.
âWell, look at that - itâs already unwrapped!â
