#. . . tell me you love me and it'll be alright ; lucille &. michael

[bruised-ribbing]

an assortment of lucille and michael hcs

aka the collins parents

they definitely met somewhere in high school, but because of their differences in status, they kept their interactions secret.

like seriously, lucille only ever told maria and james that she was dating a soc bc she trusted them to not tell anyone.

lucille really enjoyed working on cars as a teenager?? although, most car shops didn’t want to hire her bc she was a female.

michael played football for as long as he could remember tbh. it’s one of his favorite sports and continues to be one of his favorites. he was probably sad when alex quit the team at his school.

they claim to not have favorites, but lucille’s favorite is probably jacob and michael’s is definitely elaine.

seriously,, he loves his daughter so much?? she could be thirty, happily married and w/ kids yet he’d still call her his “little girl” or “lainey”

the embodiment of the “did you wash the dishes??” vine

even though she’s technically a soc now, lucille 100% still carries a switchblade with her. she hides it in the make-up pouch in her purse.

when lucille got pregnant w/ elaine, she was super self-conscious about her weight gain, so michael would call her “beautiful” every chance he got skskjsksjks

they probably have so many photos of themselves and their family over the years bc they live for those memories

michael and lucille were both in the first rumble of the town and just weren’t happy to have to fight on opposite sides. like afterwards, they met up in secret and were just sad and patched each other up

their dates in high school consisted of drive in movie theatres, malt shops and going swing dancing tbh

like they are seriously good at lindy hop and rock n roll??

there is a definite height difference between them. lucille’s like 5′6″ ish and then michael just towers over everyone like the 6′1″ giant he is

michael doesn’t hate greasers,, he just doesn’t trust them?? like at all??? its just what he was taught for years and even if his wife use to be one, he still has yet to fully see them as anything but a problem

in a modern au, michael is a shaniac and lucille is a boogara

michael smokes cigars and drinks hard liquor on a daily and i can’t be convinced otherwise. he also knows that alex and elaine smoke, but he isn’t bothered by it

they use to really like andrew,, but he became shitty and so now they kinda just wanna punch him every time they see him tbh

when lucille first referred to vincent and pete as her son in laws, michael literally choked on his drink

seriously,,, he disliked vincent and pete the most at first just bc they were greasers and dating his kids.

“they’re greasers, lucy. i don’t trust them” “you seem to forget?? that i wAS A GREASER TOO???”

michael sometimes helps kyle and alex pull pranks on the Collins women just for the fun of it

lucille is the one that got alex into conspiracy theories
