hiii kat sending u all my love and the best of luck getting through this week 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I’ve been working on my fic, and I’ve been designing/workshopping what Diego’s house would look like, both in canon and then in a modern setting. and I was curious if you’ve thought about that too? Like if there are certain trinkets he has around, how grand it is or if he keeps it simple? One thing I’ve headcannoned is that he has a specific room especially for his mom, set up in a way he thinks she would’ve liked :’)

also, other question, what kind of British accent do you give diego? I thought I remembered you writing somewhere he’s from Manchester :0

MAVS BELOVED hello 😭🧡 thank you so much.. this month feels like it's never gonna end but i'm doing my best to get through it. i hope the holidays are being kind to you and you're not working yourself too hard!! 🫵🏻

OH YAY that's so exciting... I want to know all about it... thinking about what his house would look like is so fun, i have definitely thought about it a few times :'))) i always imagine him keeping a lot of books, idk why but i imagine him as a huge nonfiction fan in a modern setting, like he's always striving to learn new things? and no matter what au he's in i always picture some sort of horse trinket because in my mind you simply cannot separate diego from horses, no matter what context he's existing in 😭 i think he keeps things fairly simple but he likes his living space to have some flare to it. in canon i think he'd have his initials embroidered on things, or maybe have his sweater pattern carried over into some of his decor, but not to an overwhelming degree? i think he has a good eye for that sort of thing and he strikes me as someone who would be very particular.

A ROOM FOR HIS MOM..... that's so sweet 🥺 i love that idea, what sort of things does he keep in there??? in my modern au i imagine he kept all her recipe books and jewelry but he keeps them kinda tucked away for the most part. the thought of him having a room for her is so lovely though, GAH, he's such a mama's boy it kills me 😭 one of his best character traits tbh

and YES, you're remembering right! in my modern au i wrote him as being born in manchester and having a strong accent to match.. i literally sat down and watched a video of different accents from the UK and that was the one that struck me as the most "him" for some reason :')) i think it's really charming..
