[spacestationstorybook]

cute little comedic scenario floating around in my head about post-canon‏‏‎ ‎maxdecai‏‏‎ ‎in a relationship where‏‏‎ ‎mordecai‏‏‎ ‎confesses some Gender Feelings to max‏‏‎ ‎(who he well knows has Gender Feelings of their own) and they decide to buy a dress for her but since they can't very well say it's for her in the 1920s‏‏‎ ‎(i‏‏‎ ‎portray‏‏‎ ‎the‏‏‎ ‎lackadaisy‏‏‎ ‎and‏‏‎ ‎associates‏‏‎ ‎as‏‏‎ ‎verrrry forward thinking for the times ‎but the average person would still be the average person) max‏‏‎ ‎has to dig through the back of their closet to find an old dress their mom sent them and put on a deeply unenthusiastic show of gender conformity (they make a valiant effort to let‏‏‎ ‎mordecai‏‏‎ ‎apply‏‏‎ ‎makeu‏‏‎p‏‏‎ ‎to them‏‏‎ ‎but they chicken‏‏‎ ‎out as soon as the mascara‏‏‎ ‎brush gets a little too close to their eyeball) and be really really awkward in a conversation at a dress shop since they know next to nothing about clothing period particularly women's clothing. but‏‏‎ ‎in‏‏‎ ‎the‏‏‎ ‎end‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎mordecai‏‏‎ ‎gets‏‏‎ ‎his‏‏‎ ‎dress‏‏‎ ‎and she looks almost Happy (almost....) in it so hey maybe it was all worth it after all.
