#and veganism is something I’m really touchy about bc it’s something personal and important to me

[steamgoat]

Feeling kinda disappointed bc I unfollowed someone whose content I usually like but they posted something that really rubbed me the wrong way, but I feel like I’ve also accidentally followed a lot of blogs recently bc scrolling on mobile makes it so easy to hit the follow button next to usernames on posts so. I don’t actually know where I was going with this but sometimes I just need to vent a little paragraph or two out here.

For the domestic meme bc WOW I LOVE DOMESTICITY: tillow, briley, xandrew, lunn, and cangel.

You’re so extra that I have to put this under a readmore. And I already did cangel :)

tillow!

big spoon/little spoon: They switch a lot, even multiple times a night. They’re just super  touchy with each other, they cuddle even when it’s way too warm to be comfortable. 

favorite non-sexual activity: Getting high and watching Steven Universe. Or going to animal shelters and hanging out with old dogs and cats (but especially cats) because they’re so precious and affectionate. 

who uses all the hot water: They both do, because they shower together 90% of the time. it isn’t even always a sexual thing, they just like being around each other and washing each other’s hair and singing along to the radio. 

most trivial thing they fight over: They don’t really fight about trivial things? If they are, it’s because there’s a bigger underlying issue that neither of them want to address. 

who does most of the cleaning: They clean together but they’re so bad at it because they get distracted by random things they find. It takes them hours. 

what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue: They have pretty much the same taste in shows so it’s not usually a problem, but if there’s a conflict then Willow usually gets her way because she’s the better pouter. 

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Willow, because Tara’s got phone anxiety and because she’s bad at price negotiations. Willow’s not great at the later either, but she’s better than Tara is. 

who steals the blankets: Willow. She burritos herself in her sleep and she and Tara wake up all tangled, it’s ridiculous. And also adorable. 

who leaves their stuff around: They both do, but especially Willow. Neither of them mind, though. It gives their space personality. 

who remembers to buy the milk: They’re vegans but Willow remembers to buy the almond milk for herself and the coconut milk for Tara. 

who remembers anniversaries: Tara remembers them first but Willow gets around to it. They do lowkey things most years but they’re fun, like garden picnics and pillow fort movie nights. 

who cooks normally?: They love cooking together and trying out recipes they find on Pintrest, which sometimes end terribly but it’s a good time anyway. They’re not above cliche flour fights. 

how often do they fight?: Not that often, but they do fight. After a little while of being together, they get good at it, though. Like, they learn how to fight without being intentionally hurtful or manipulative or anything like that. (Willow needs more help with this than Tara does.)

what do they do when they’re away from each other?: Text absolutely constantly, and video chat when they can. If they’re sleeping away from each other, sometimes they’ll video chat while falling asleep because it’s easier to sleep when they’re with each other. 

nicknames for each other?: God, they have so many. Obvious ones, like honey, peaches,baby, etc. But they also have a lot of animals (like squirrel and Bambi) and totally random ones that come from inside jokes, it’s ridiculous. 

who is more likely to pay for dinner?: They don’t actually eat out all that much, because of the vegan thing ignore the obvious innuendo there, but when they do it’s just whoever has a better job at the time, unless it’s someone’s birthday or something. 

what would they get each other for gifts?: They’re good at handmade, so they do those pretty often, but Tara has been known to splurge on jewelry for Willow and Willow always finds funky stuff on vacation (which is what she calls going on overseas missions with the scoobies) for Tara.  

who kissed who first?: Willow, and she was so so so nervous and it was just a small peck but it was a thousand times better than any kiss she had ever had with a boy. 

who made the first move?: We pretty much saw this in Hush and it was so perfect I don’t want to change anything. 

who remembers things?: Tara’s better at this because Willow can be such a scatter brain. But they have a (super cramped and messy) whiteboard calendar in their kitchen that helps. 

who started the relationship?: Neither one ever ‘officially’ asked the other out, it just kind of happened because of mutual feelings and understanding of those feelings. 

who cusses more?: Willow, but neither of them cuss very much. Willow is known to make up her own cusses though, like “oh snickerdoodle” and it’s absolutely adorable. 

what would they do if the other one was hurt?: They totally mother hen each other and...Well, we know what Willow does when Tara’s killed so she kind of goes ham if there’s nothing she can do to help. 

briley!

big spoon/little spoon: Riley’s the big spoon when they spoon. Neither of them sleep a lot while Riley’s on the Initiative drugs, but once he’s off of them, they usually sleep facing each other so Buffy doesn’t wake Riley up and because they both have nice faces which are good to look at. 

favorite non-sexual activity: Riley convinced Buffy to try one of those escape the room things, and they both loved it so much that they do it like once a month. By now they know all the tropes so it isn’t as challenging, and they’re considering making their own but they know it would be impossible for anyone besides them to solve it. (The first time they did one, though, Riley had to talk Buffy out of just punching the door open when she couldn’t figure out a riddle)

who uses all the hot water: Buffy when she takes baths, which she likes because she makes them rose scented and they’re relaxing, but they both generally take quick showers. 

most trivial thing they fight over: Buffy talking so much during vampire movies annoys Riley, but she was right and he does the same thing when watching military movies and she jokingly picks fights about that. 

who does most of the cleaning: Riley, mostly because Buffy’s busy with slayer stuff and he likes making her life easier, but also because in the military you learn how to be all clean and organized and Buffy and Dawn don’t excel at that. 

what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue: Buffy, she’s good at talking Riley into watching objectively terrible tv. They both really like Community, though. 

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Neither of them because Riley can generally fix it himself, and if not he’s got an army buddy who can. They don’t love spending money when they don’t have to. 

who steals the blankets: Neither of them, but mostly because Buffy has a bad habit of kicking the blankets off both of them while they’re asleep. It’s not that bad, though, because then she gets cold and cuddles up to Riley more. Neither of them mind.

who leaves their stuff around: Buffy does. She isn’t super bad about it, but Riley has been known to trip over her boots in the middle of the living room. 

who remembers to buy the milk: Riley all the way. In my ideal universe, he moves in with Buffy and Dawn, and Dawn will say how funny it is that they never seem to run out of tampons since he moved in. 

who remembers anniversaries: Only Riley the first year and it’s kind of sad, so Buffy makes a point to remember after that. 

who cooks normally?: Riley because he’s got a bit more time, but it’s fancier when Buffy cooks. I know fanon is that she sucks at cooking but I think she tries hard. 

how often do they fight?: They argue when they’re both tired and stressed out, but they’re good at realizing that it was because they’re tired and stressed out come morning. 

what do they do when they’re away from each other?: They’re both pretty good at being separated, but Buffy likes to send Riley goofy selfies and he smiles so huge when he gets them. He loves his tiny strange girlfriend. 

nicknames for each other?: Not very many, besides ‘Buff’ and ‘Riles.’

who is more likely to pay for dinner?: Riley, as a southern (ish) gentleman thing. Buffy thinks it’s pretty silly and kind of oldfashioned but it doesn’t bother her as much as it would bother... I was gonna say me or Willow, because we’d both think it’s kinda sexist, but we’re both gay so we wouldn’t be in that situation.  

what would they get each other for gifts?: Riley likes getting Buffy a ton of little presents, like jewelry or trinkets (and so many flowers, he’s always bringing her flowers) he sees when he’s shopping. Buffy finds it hard to shop for boys but she puts a lot of thought into his birthday presents. 

who kissed who first?: God I feel like this is canon but I completely forget what happened, I’m a terrible person. I love briley. I’m sorry, briley gods. But in my head, it’s Buffy. Although if she didn’t, Riley was going to about a half second later. 

who made the first move?: Riley, if holding hands counts as a “move.”

who remembers things?: Riley is better at this and he ‘subtly’ reminds Buffy a few days before Important Things so she doesn’t feel like she’s being told what to do. 

who started the relationship?: Riley definitely ‘officially’ asked Buffy to go steady even though it was already understood that they were boyfriend and girlfriend because he’s a fucking nerd. 

who cusses more?: Buffy, especially during patrolling. 

what would they do if the other one was hurt?: Generally, kick the enemies ass. Stick to your strengths. 

Xandrew!

big spoon/little spoon: Xander’s the big spoon, and Andrew’s such a cuddly person it’s impossible to get up some mornings. 

favorite non-sexual activity: Comiccon. But for everyday stuff, they like watching Star Trek on Netflix and having “”debates”” over spock/bones vs spock/kirk 

who uses all the hot water: Andrew is terrible at this because he likes trying out fancy soaps and he wants to get the most out of them. 

most trivial thing they fight over: Star Trek ships. Actually anything tv related they just go at it. 

who does most of the cleaning: neither of them. They live in filth until Andrew’s best friend Anya visits, she’ll kick them out and do it all herself. 

what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue: They fight over this. They have the same taste but one of them will be in a Vampire Dairies mood and one will be in a Supergirl mood and it’s a disaster. 

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Andrew, because Xander has a wee bit too much pride. 

who steals the blankets: Andrew, he likes to be a burrito, especially in his space sheets because then he wakes up and he’s in space. 

who leaves their stuff around: They both do, the messy nerds. Disaster. 

who remembers to buy the milk: Andrew’s good at shopping because he bakes, so he’s always going out to buy things. They’re never in need of food. 

who remembers anniversaries: Andrew’s better at this than Xander, he also is better at big anniversary gestures. 

who cooks normally?: Andrew! He enjoys it and he’s a lot better at it. 

how often do they fight?: They bicker all the damn time, it’s most of their communication. A lot of lovingly making fun of each other. They have a few huge blowout fights, but they’re not often enough to be a big problem. 

what do they do when they’re away from each other?: They send each other memes. It’s dumb but it makes them laugh and they like feeling close to each other. 

nicknames for each other?: Not to be totally cheesy but... Bruce and Clarke. 

who is more likely to pay for dinner?: Xander because he likes to feel like a gentleman and provider but Andrew always offers five or six times. 

what would they get each other for gifts?: Andrew has a way too big collection of Pop Funko figures, so Xander picks those up when he sees them. They usually end up being ones that he already has but he just loves feeling like Xander cares. Andrew bakes for Xander. A lot. He gains like 15lbs in the relationship.  

who kissed who first?: Xander kissed Andrew first but it took a lot of Willow talking up his confidence. 

who made the first move?: The kiss was the first move. Willow was so exhausted by the endless conversations about the exact right way to do it. 

who remembers things?: Neither of them, tbh. They’ll be having sex when the plumber shows up. Dumbasses. 

who started the relationship?: Xander technically, but Andrew had a crush first. 

who cusses more?: Xander. Andrew isn’t a huge fan of cursing but he thinks it’s kind of hot when other guys do it. 

what would they do if the other one was hurt?: Andrew turns into a expert nurse. Xander panics but tries to save face. 

Lunn!

big spoon/little spoon: Gunn is the big spoon. Lorne smiles himself to sleep a lot because Gunn is so comfortable. 

favorite non-sexual activity: I mean...karaoke. They sing to each other constantly, it’s so fun. But they also really like going to fancy operas and ballets and watching silent movies. They’re classy. 

who uses all the hot water: Lorne! But they like to take baths together (Lorne is the worst at apartment hunting because he Needs a place with a huge bath) and those last for hours. 

most trivial thing they fight over: Lorne takes so long to get ready for everything, so they show up late a lot and Gunn is a polite guy so he tries to avoid that, which they fight about. It isn’t serious, though. 

who does most of the cleaning: Both of them are pretty good about this but Lorne likes to find Pintrest organization hacks and reorganize their entire place while Gunn is out for the weekend.

what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue: Neither of them watch a ton of tv, besides artsy HBO stuff I guess. So they just watch their shows together. 

who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Lorne calls at the first sight of any trouble, which Gunn thinks is silly but not worth arguing about. 

who steals the blankets: Neither of them, but it should be mentioned that Lorne has stupidly fancy sheets and fuzzy blankets and pillows and Gunn thinks it’s totally unneeded at first but then he gets used to it and gets annoyed when he has to sleep like a normal person. 

who leaves their stuff around: Neither of them because they’re sweet people who respect the shared space. 

who remembers to buy the milk: Gunn, mostly. He’s good at household stuff. 

who remembers anniversaries: Both of them! And Lorne loves making a big deal out of it. Gunn pretends to be embarrassed by it but he loves it a lot. 

who cooks normally?: Gunn really likes cooking. Lorne mixes the drinks and Gunn does the meal, eating together always feels like an event. 

how often do they fight?: Not very often, they both have good temperaments. And it helps that Lorne can read when Gunn wants to be left alone or needs to vent about something. 

what do they do when they’re away from each other?: Lorne sends Gunn Edible Arrangements and pretends that they totally aren’t from him.  

nicknames for each other?: Gunn just calls Lorne ‘Lorne’ but Gunn gets Gunny, bang bang,Charlie, Charlie Chaplin...there’s a lot. 

who is more likely to pay for dinner?: Gunn offers but a lot of the time, Lorne knows the owner because he’s so connected so the meal is free. 

what would they get each other for gifts?: Lorne loves spoiling Gunn but Gunn doesn’t know what tf to do with all these fancy ties and the odd gold watch. Gunn gets Lorne small but meaningful things, like cologne that Lorne likes but they don’t make anymore. 

who kissed who first?: Lorne kissed Gunn first, because Gunn’s aura was screaming that he wanted him to. 

who made the first move?: In this instance, humming while thinking about how cute Lorne is is making the first move so...

who remembers things?: They both do, but Lorne is better at little details because of managing his own bar. 

who cusses more?: Gunn in everyday situations but Lorne in bed. 

what would they do if the other one was hurt?: Gunn is unfortunately used to having people he cares about getting hurt, so he’s good at helping Lorne and staying a little bit calm and patching him up. Lorne freaks out more and is Extra about taking care of him.
