#but eiffel is an analog guy i think he's like. yeah well it sounds better on vinyl you'll see. er. hear.

i love to think about the ways eiffel is willing/able to take up physical space for hera when she can’t. i think... with eiffel and hera and minkowski staying together post-canon, one thing that might start to really bother hera is that, like. she doesn’t have any stuff. she doesn’t even have herself to be there in the house, really, not physically. and unlike with the hephaestus, a house that is actually meant to be a home, a place that is designed for human life, is always full of reminders of the people who live there. so i want to think that she expresses this to eiffel and he starts picking up stuff he thinks she’ll like just to put it on the shelves and around the house, so it’s her house too. and she thinks it’s kind of silly at first because it’s not like she can really interact with most of it, but. then she sees all of her stuff mixed together with eiffel’s on the shelves and it’s like this constant reminder that she exists in the world, that she has an impact on it and a place in it. and that does make her feel a little better.

Adding @commsroom 's tags because they are Excellent: #when she finds some favorite albums he buys records#and she's like you know i can listen to this whenever i want to right you don't have to do that#but eiffel is an analog guy i think he's like. yeah well it sounds better on vinyl you'll see. er. hear.#and maybe she kinda agrees with him. a little bit#i think she'd like to have Stuff of her own even if she thinks the idea is a little silly at first#she likes used books specifically because she wants them to look worn and loved. it's not satisfying to have a brand new book#untouched on the shelf.#she likes sea shells and sand dollars and sea glass even though she knows it's just litter and various. maritime trinkets.#i want to say she likes kinda tacky painted statues you might find at a thrift shop because the idea is funny to me#like dragons and fairies and assorted mythical creatures#eiffel gets her flowers because well. no one's ever gotten her flowers before.
