Being Scotty’s Best Friend Would Include...

Request: I'm so excited you brought up Star Trek! I was wondering if you could do some hcs for having Scotty as a best friend. I'm such a big fan of your writing. I hope you're having a great day!

Oh my gosh I’m always here for a little Scotty love and it’s been far too long since I wrote for Star Trek! Thank you darling :)

Warning: mentions of drinking alcohol, and mentions of injury/needles!

I love my Scottish icon so much but since he takes on literally 100% of the stress for keeping this beautiful old ship afloat, he is on the brink of an exhaustion induced mental breakdown 24/7. Sometimes you have to go down to Sickbay and rope Bones into helping you; the look of panic on Scotty’s face when the two of you step out of the turbo lift and come literally sprinting towards him is something behold. With only minimal squirming, the two of you manage to rope yourselves around his arms and drag him down to his room just to get a few hours of bloody sleep. You stay, flopping down on his sofa because you know Scotty too well, and in two jiffs he’d be making a beeline straight for those sliding doors again. Bones even decides he can finish off his last bits of paperwork in the corridor, helping you keep watch. 

You and Scotty manage to finally come to a halfway point: he’ll stay in his room, but only if he can curl up onto the settee next to you, and fall asleep with his chin smushed against the side of your face. He has a massive crick in his neck when he wakes up the next morning, stretching his arms out past your head while you shake a glob of his slobber off your shoulder, but it’s worth it to see how bouncy he is back down in engineering. 

Sometimes when things are a bit slower on the Enterprise the two of you will have drinking competitions down in his office. Chekov happens to wander past one afternoon, and comes in laughing when he spots you desperately trying to hold back your laughter as Scotty wiggles his eyebrows on you. He nearly jumps out of his seat in a fit of giggles when you accidentally spray half of the whiskey in your mouth out over his uniform, but poor Chekov decides to wander over to your desk right then and gets most of it on the side of his face. 

To be completely honest, the joy the two of you bring to each other is so infectious, that most of the Enterprise’s crew seem to gravitate towards the two of you at one time or another. One night, you and Scotty were sitting in a couple of desk chairs in the recreation room, nothing but the pearls of picked starlight whirling in the open expanse behind your head to keep you company in the dim room. The two of you are trying to speak over each other, gossip and idle chatter passing easily between the two of you as you unwind after a very long week down main engineering. It’s a very chill, warm, and comforting vibe that Jim walks in to: your legs are slung over Scotty’s lap as you nod at whatever topic his mind has jumped onto now, and he stops every so often to over you his whiskey bottle and steal it back once you’ve taken a sip. Jim likes to just sit in the same room as the two of you, because the constant stream of familiar chatter immediately drowns out and calms the storm of anxiety that brews up slowly in his head.

This man has an absolutely abysmal sense of humour, and you adore it. The ship could be in the middle of an intense attack, sweat dripping down both your faces as you make a run to the engine, trying to stop a couple of the blades from spinning off in a fiery blaze that would destroy half the cabins. Despite you literally hauling his ass through a small shaft, your grip on his legs tenuous at best as you try to dangle some equipment out from the loops of your belt, Scotty decides it’s the best time to try and crack terrible jokes to alleviate the tension. Well, he says ‘tension’, but to be completely honest he knows how afraid you are, and it breaks his heart to think that he could die without even trying to help you. 

Well, he tries to crack jokes until the ship lurches sideways, and then you’re dangling from the railings around the engine while Scotty holds onto your shoulders ‘scooby doo’ style.

This man is seriously, genuinely, incredibly protective over you. He sees you as his sibling: the closest thing he has to family (before he gets close to the rest of the crew as well), and so if he finds Spock to be a little too... demeaning towards you, even though he doesn’t mean to be, he will 100% shove you behind his back. The incorrectly filled out paperwork Spock was trying to hand back to you flutters down to the floor, and Spock raises an eyebrow in measured surprise as Scotty’s fingers encircle your wrist. Then the pointer finger comes out wagging, his mouth goes off running, and you’re pretty sure you can hear him yell ‘go ahead, fire me! You bet your arse you won’t be able to find two better engineers in all the universe, laddie!’

Spock, frozen in place and confused with the interaction, just turns his head to you and offers an apology once Scotty finally cools down a little. Once he heads back to the bridge to recount what happened to an incredibly amused Jim, Scotty’s tight grip onto your wrist turns into a bone crushing hug. He mutters his own sincere apologies for letting that happen into the top of your head, hefting your feet off the floor and spinning you around, his face burning red as his chin bumps against your forehead.

He has this little check in he likes to do with you (well, mainly to check in, but also to tease you a little in the proper brotherly fashion.) You know you should probably run away when he starts slinking over to where you’re tinkering with your wrenches, with a sly smile on his face. He’ll come leaning against the wall beside you, running the back of his knuckles down the side of your face fondly, before gently slapping the side of your cheek a couple of times. You always do your best to try and poke him on the shoulder back, but that little bugger is fast as lightening as he ducks away from you and runs down towards the corridor. Sometimes Bones has wandered tiredly into one of the medical supply closets, nearly being knocked down onto his ass as you run past him with a little goblin grin and a big wave. He should have known rightly, as he opens the door, that Scotty would be hiding in here. Scotty, however, is incredibly surprised, and falls down from the pipe he’s hanging onto from the ceiling down onto a stack of shelves. 

Bones just sighs and heaves him up, his tricorder already out and scanning his head as he leads him down to Sickbay. He knows to get on his comms immediately and notify you because: 1) the two of you have this kind of sixth sense where you know when the other is in trouble, so you’re already perched on the edge of Len’s desk, immediately yelling at Scotty before the two of them have hobbled through the door. And 2) Scotty, like Jim, absolutely does his best to escape Sickbay at all costs and it drives Len insane, so he needs your help to keep him in his biobed. Bones does his best to stitch up the gash in Scotty’s leg as you loop your arm around his left and haul him back down. Between muffled swears, Scotty trying to jerk you off, and you patting the beads of sweat away from his forehead gently to comfort him, Scotty begins to ease into it. 

I feel like the two of you would be the type to try and tease Jim any chance you got. Say, if there’s some huge ballroom event held down at base that the crew all go to? You and Scotty are definitely on the dance floor, having a competition to see who can stand on the other’s feet the most, and waltzing terribly back and forth in front of poor Jim and whoever he’s currently trying to hold a conversation with. Eventually he just gives up, and the two of you are beat in your terrible dancing only by Jim and Spock, who he’s managed to coax to the edge of the floor and is currently just doing a slow box step in place around Jim’s arms lmao.

Sometimes you’ll head back to your quarters after a long shift to find Scotty’s bent over behind greeting you. Turns out, once he turns around in surprise with a sheepish grin, that he has spent his break fixing bits and bobs around your room. Eh, there’s a few concerning bolts scattered around your floor, and your shower now has an extra knob that you’re far too terrified to turn, but he’s so sweet bless his heart. He gets this massive, sunshine filled, proud grin on his face when you thank him for helping out, and comes clambering over towards you to engulf you in a bear hug. He has a hard time telling the people that he cares about that he loves him, so acts of devotion are definitely this man’s love language. He’s just trying to show you how much he cares in the only way he knows how, so please squeeze your arms around his waist and grip onto the broad expanse of his back, because it’s the best way for him to understand that you return the sentiment.

The two of you usually spend your shore leave together: either the two of you find a random, deserted planet and do your best to spend the time curled up asleep on the shore of a serene beach, or he takes you back to Glasgow to visit Fran since she loves you so much.

He pretends, fervently, that he’s not incredibly dependent on you being around, but bruh. If the plans ever need to change, or you receive a message on your communication device about an emergency situation back at Starfleet you’re being sent for, Scotty will act really mopey and upset for the rest of the trip because he truly misses your company so much.

I'm a nail technician and here's a big list of headcanons about the kinds of clients the TOS Enterprise crew would be!

Kirk:

-shows up on time for appointment but sometimes has to cancel super last minute.

-doesn't bite his nails but picks at them and his cuticles. not enough to bleed or anything but enough that most of his appointment is cuticle work.

- "Cut them short" my guy there's no free edge.

- holds still, uses arm rest appropriately, doesn't stiffen his hands. no polish, just buffed smooth. jokes every time that next time maybe he'll go with a hot pink.

-asks a lot of questions and chats at the beginning of the appointment but ends up getting a little bored by the end.

-always tips very well but doesn't rebook, he'll call you.

Spock:

-doesn't make appointments, just shows up sometimes on slow days and asks to use certain supplies.

-does his own nails and keeps them very nice and neat. nail beds to die for. Nails grow very fast.

-On occasion has been talked into a dark polish and will let someone else do that for him (he's not very good at the application).

-sits a little too stiffly like he's concentrating. speaks when spoken to. doesn't linger long, the smell gives him a headache.

-doesn't tip but you’re not sure if he knows he’s supposed to.

McCoy:

-calls and asks if there’s time for a walk in then shows up later than he tells you but usually has a good excuse.

-Hands are dry as hell from washing them a lot. Worst, driest cuticles. Always gets a split on the edge of his pointer finger.

-Sits too far away from the table, at an angle, hunched, wrists on the armrest and elbows locked. Has to be asked to scoot arms forward a million times.

-Is annoying to work on technically, but fun to chat with. Always turns into a complaint session but in the best way. Wants to know the drama in your life and gives opinions.

- Closes eyes and tries not to doze off during the hand massage. Wipes off all the lotion that he desperately needs.

-Tips alright and always says he’ll come back soon but you know it’ll be another 4 months.

Uhura:

-has a standing appointment every 3 weeks and is never late, sometimes she’ll bring you a drink and apologizes when she doesn’t.

-Did her own nails for a long time and keeps them well manicured between appointments.

-Will (properly!) remove her own gel polish before appointments to save you the trouble.

- Tends to go for lighter, pearlescent shades. Always asks what you have that’s new but then picks one of her go-tos.

- Loves to look at nail art but doesn’t usually get it.

-Super bubbly during appointments, very patient, sits perfectly. Always enthusiastic about the result and gives lots of praise.

-Tips well and takes business cards to give to people.

Chapel:

-Not really supposed to get her nails done but does anyways. Doesn’t have super regular appointments but usually books with Uhura when she does.

-Usually shows up with chipped polish from last time that desperately needed removed 3 weeks ago.

-Gets light/sheer colors.

-Sometimes will book for a gel manicure and then tell you she doesn’t actually want polish this time even tho she needs it. Nice nails beds but they are thin and peel a bit without anything on them.

-Apologizes for no reason multiple times. Thanks you as if it were an inconvenience to do her nails? 

-After a few appointments, she loosens up a bit. Tips decent.

Sulu:

-has gotten his nails done like five times just for fun.

-Keeps them short, not much cuticle work. Why are you here??

- Will get a couple “masculine” designs and isn’t picky about them. “You just do whatever you think will look best :) “

-genuinely fun to have as a client but needs some direction on how to sit etc. can talk about anything.

-Didn’t tip the first time bc he didn’t know and felt bad so he always does, but it’s not much.

Scotty:

-how can one man have so much grease under his nails?

-Has a standing appointment once a month for just a nail trim but should be more like every two weeks.

-Asks questions about nail equipment (UV lamp, e-file, etc).

-Talks a bit during the appointment and then stands around after chatting. Always tips like 2$ but sometimes brings baked goods, etc.

Chekov:

-wanders in with a bruised nail and is like “what can you do for this” nothing dude.

-Leaves and comes back later to buy a gift certificate to give to a girl.

Make-up styles the TOS men would wear ^_^

(just my lil silly headcanons even though they already do wear it but whatever-)

Kirk- He loves to wear eyeliner (like in Enemy within), not to heavy but definitely noticeable so he'd definitely gravitate towards more grungey make up looks, though he would also definitely wear some yellow eyeliner to match his uniform and put some yellow stars on his face (credit to @wackywest for the second hc :3)

Spock- DRAG MAKE UP!!! Like come on, Spock already wears heavy purple eyeshadow so he would definitely do his make up very drag like, a big emphasise on the eyes and bold colours because Spock is one dramatic mf

Bones- That man loves blue eyeshadow and 60s make up, similar to the styles of Twiggy and Shelly Duvall, alot of emphasis on the eyelashes (since his eyelashes are always on point and just pretty) especially on the bottom lash and bold colours soild colours

Sulu- (probably) Loveees Y2k make up (cyber face), a dewy foundation with some blush but no contour, metallic and glittery eyeshadow (preferably blue) just all over his eyelids and probably plucks his eyebrows just to seal the whole futuristic y2k look

Chekov- He would probably do a clean girl make up,mainly focusing on his eyebrows and eyelashes (omg him and Bones have the most pretty eyelashes ever) just trying to make them as perfect as possible and blush, not really putting that much make up over all,however when Chekov feels fancy he probably does Douyin make up focusing on his eyes and cheeks (since imo, Douyin make up is very soft and would honestly fit his face shape and features)

Scotty- Would probably wear the least amount of make up compared to the rest since he works day and night however he would definitely gell up his eyebrows and but some brown mascara (again crecit to @wackywest for this hc :3) and honestly Scotty would do a no make up, make up look since it isn't time consuming but still looks pretty

(Hope you enjoyed this hehe)

⊹ ࣪ ˖ HEADCANON TIME ⊹ ࣪ ˖

Bones is the best at baking, Spock is the best at cooking, and Jim burns microwave ramen.

We all know Jim is a history geek and I like to think he has random artifacts just lying around that he nonchalantly comments on, like "hey don't sit there, that's where my brick from the old United States Whitehouse sits" or "oh sorry, excuse the British military uniform circa 1960s, I really need to get it dry cleaned."

I also like to think as they get older they form a little book club. They deny it's a book club, Spock makes a smartass comment about parallel play and how important literature is while refusing to admit it's a book club. Even Bones comes around and teases him for it. They spend every week reading a different type of classic literature, from Shakespeare to Dickens, Jim is determined to read it all.

Jim isn't much of a fan of the dark. He can cope, he has to because of his job, but hiding during Tarsus IV made long periods of complete darkness absolutely unbearable for him. Bones gave him a cheesy earth keychain with a flashlight on it from a crappy Midwest gas station.

Spock loves sweaters. Refuses to admit it, but lives in them when off duty, especially when he's on earth in the colder months. Bones learned how to knit from his mama so he always knits Spock new sweaters.

Jim and Spock tried to play other boardgames aside from chess and found that while they enjoyed the others, chess will forever be their all-time favorite. Plus monopoly with the crew got way too hectic. Between Scotty somehow taking over all the railroads, Uhura bankrupting Spock (who was silently outraged) and Chekov (who was a good sport), Sulu trading properties with people, and Jim trying to form alliances while Bones yelled at him for cheating and breaking the rules, monopoly quickly got banned.

It was reinstated soon after when the crew got bored between missions.

I'm just saying, no neurotypical gets that excited about reading technical manuals

[mushr00m-collective]

TOS HC’s

Vulcans don’t have sweat glands (it’s humid on Vulcan and that would only make it worse) however because spock is half human he has sweat glands only on his back, he got teased for this as a kid

Kirk was the kid that ate mulch on the playground, I can actually see Kirk as also having BPD but that’s just my own projection

Mccoy constantly looks like he’s on the verge of a breakthrough or a breakdown, no in between

On top of that Mccoy doesn’t use sunscreen, I get that he’s a doctor and he would but DAMMIT JIM HES A DOCTOR NOT A DERMATOLOGIST

Jim’s skin is rlly good tho

Spock had a gender crisis when he was 15 and clawed at his arms hard enough to leave scars (like - literally clawed) after wards he realized that gender was stupid and decided that he doesn’t need that shit (he/him Agender)

Jim looks vaguely like Rocky from Rocky horror and Mccoy teases him about this

Chekhov is the type of guy that’ll doubt compliments cause he would get told “my friend likes you” as a joke when he was a kid

NURSE CHAPEL IS LEBANESE THIS IS NON DEBATABLE

Scotty seems like he’d be into drag, not doing it but he admires it

Spock does drag (it’s logical to find enjoyment in activities)

(I know someone asked for these a while back but I didn't get a chance to do them last time ❤️ Hope you enjoy them ❤️:) And let me know if I missed anything ❤️ :))

Star Trek Tickle Headcannons (TOS/2009 trilogy)

Captain James T. Kirk

Lee:

Definitely more Ler than Lee.

However, I feel like McCoy uses his ticklishness to his advantage when the captain avoids his physicals.

And Spock definitely uses it from time to time (even though he claims it's illogical :))

Very much a runner and a hider so tickle chases and tickle hide and seek are big things for him.

His most ticklish spots make him squeal and squirm.

However, his favorite spots make him collapse on contact.

His ribs are definitely his sweet spot.

While his neck is definitely a favorite spot and one that gets him turtling and snorting.

Ler

He's a very playful Ler.

He may not be a Lee very often, but boy is he a good Ler!

He definitely leans into the tickle monster role.

Arms above his head, stomping around, growling, bear hugs to "catch" his prey, and nuzzling into spots while growling and snarling.

If he's being very playful with someone, he breaks out the teases and nuzzles.

However, very few get to see this playful side of the captain.

Spock

Lee

Not sure if he would be more Lee or more Ler.

Living on Vulcan, his Mom is probably the only one to try tickling him as a kid.

Jim Kirk was the first one to try as an adult.

It was just a poke to the side, but Spock still squeaked.

When Kirk smirked and pressed further, Spock tried to cover it with an it's an illogical since he's a Vulcan and can't feel human emotions.

However, the captain pokes his side from time to time just to annoy him.

He does laugh and curl up if someone were to tickle him.

However, no one has tried enough to hear many other responses.

His worst spots are definitely his ears.

But I don't know if he has a favorite spot.

Ler

He's a very "logical" Ler.

Like very cold and calculated.

Aims for more ticklish spots if he needs an immediate response.

Then he would hit less ticklish spots if he's drawing out the process.

And he can do it all without a hint of a smile (even if he does find it enjoyable 😁)

He could use his Vulcan nerve pinch to catch someone if he really wants to.

Otherwise, he just walks after the person running away from him until they run out of energy.

He then scoops them over his shoulders and takes them away.

Or gets them down on the floor and tickles them there.

Leonard "Bones" McCoy

Lee

Definitely a switch.

He's good as a Ler, but that face figuratively begs to be tickled.

He can just be such a grump sometimes and what better way to get rid of the grumps than tickling.

If you get a good spot, he will jump and try not to laugh.

But if someone really gets him laughing, he will curse at them.

Guarantee Kirk wass the one to attack him the most.

And McCoy gives it right back to him (even if Kirk is the captain 😁)

Definitely ticklish all over but his ribs are his worst spot.

Meanwhile his back and shoulder blades are his favorite spot.

Though he acts angry when he has to admit either one.

Ler

He's a calculated and warm Ler.

He is a doctor so he knows where the most sensitive spots would be.

He has also used his Doctor title to claim he's "just testing" the sensitivity on a person.

We all know what he's really looking for though.

However, he does tease the person he's tickling a little for being so "sensitive" as he searches.

And gives affection afterwards like hair ruffles or pats or even hugs depending on the person.

I can also see him being like Kirk with leaning into the whole tickle monster bit, but not very often.

Nyota Uhura

Lee

Definitely a Switch.

She can be a great Ler but also enjoys being a Lee.

Spock was definitely the first to try tickling her and she doesn't mind.

I feel like the rest of the crew have tried to even though they know she will get them back.

Except for Kirk.

She will punch Kirk if he tries.

Her worst spots are her knees and thighs.

While her scalp would be her favorite spot.

Ler

She's a very teasy and loving Ler.

She's very sweet, but she also comes up with the worst teases.

Plus, she has the use of her nails too.

I also don't know why, but I can see her using kisses as a tickle tactic with those she's close with.

She's also extremely strong so do not underestimate her if you get pinned by her.

Montgomery "Scotty" Scott

Lee

Definitely more Ler than Lee.

Not sure who in the crew was the first to try tickling him.

But, if anyone has tried going forward, he will turn the tables on them extremely fast.

He will try to hold in his laughter if someone's try to tickle him.

But, if someone does get him going, he does yell at them through his laughter.

However, his favorite spots will have him melting into a giggly pile.

His hips are his worst spot.

While his shoulders and neck are his favorite spots.

Ler

He is a playful Ler who loves rough housing when he tickles.

Like tackling or wrestling with the person he's tickling.

Or playfully shoving the person.

Or giving noogies and hair ruffles.

I feel like if any of the crew members use nuzzles and raspberries, it's definitely him.

Also, he definitely does the 'gootchie goo' and 'tickle tickle tickle' teases the most.

Hikaru Sulu

Lee

Definitely a switch when it comes to tickling.

He's a great Ler and still enjoyd being the Lee.

The only people who have gotten close enough to try tickling him is Chekov and his husband.

Granted, Sulu tickled Chekov first so it was in retaliation.

He squeaks in surprise when someone first tickles him.

Then he breaks into loud laughter.

The man does not have any sort of quiet laugh.

All of his laughter is loud enough for the entire ship to hear.

His worst spots are his sides and the backs of his his ears.

While his favorite spots are his ears (even if they tickle like crazy).

Ler

He's the kind of Ler to point out the ticklishness of someone while he tickles them.

He likes to work up the tickles by starting with pokes then onto light scribbles before digging into spots.

He likes the build up by going in that order.

Sulu would be really good at tickle chases too if someone were to try to escape his tickles.

If someone is running and thinks they're safe, they had better think again.

He has the ability to sneak up on someone and surprise them with no problems.

Pavel Chekov

Lee

Definitely more Lee than Ler.

The type of Lee to shout things in Russian while being tickled.

Breaks into wheezes and cackles when you hit a sensitive spot.

His favorite spots make him curl into a ball and squeal.

Everyone in the crew has tickled him at some point.

However, Sulu was the first to do so.

His worst spot is his armpits.

While his favorite spots are his sides and stomach.

Ler

He's the type of Ler to do sassy banter with the person he's tickling.

He's usually pretty gentle with tickling unless he's out for something (secret, revenge, etc)

Then he's usually rougher with his tickles.

He's pretty good at teases too.

Not the best teaser, but he knows how to do them well.

To "catch" someone, he will jump on their back and tackle them to the ground.

He may not to be the best at pinning, but he's pretty good at sneaking and tackling.

[thedreammweaver]

I have a headcanon that in any form of education Scotty’s grades have always been shit and barely passing. Some of his teachers or something hear about his miracle working on enterprise later and are like that kid? Really? Cause based on old grade reports it looks like he should only know how to accidentally blow the ship up.

Scotty seems like the type of person where his learning style and intelligence are best shown in the actual situation rather than practice and worksheets and reading comprehension/memory tests and quizzes.

[spocks-husband]

i never noticed you posting star trek head cannons?????!!!!!! you gotta give me a Scotty one pls jus bc... *states at you with sad pathetic puppy eyes so you feel more inclined to do it*

WAHHH I LOVE SCOTTY I HAVE SO MANY SCOTTY HEADCANONS

Also you're literally one of the coolest mutuals I have in literally blushing and kicking my feet cause you sent me an ask

•He speaks fluent Gaelic and a little bit of Welsh because his parents taught him as a child and he works REALLY hard to make sure he doesn't lose his ability to speak the languages

•He's the youngest of six siblings and when the Enterprise crew found out they all collectively went "OOOH yeah that makes sense" and he's still mildly offended by that

•Scotty is incredibly protective of his friends-- especially McCoy and Uhura (his bf and his gf who he's obsessed with)

•He fucking hates replicator food and cooks for himself (and typically everyone else too) whenever possible

•He had two massive, cats and a terrier dog in his quarters for the entirety of the five year mission and no one realized until they got back to Earth. He wasn't even really hiding it they just never realized 😭 anyways the cats are called Kelvin and Tesla and the dog is named Archimedes

I love Scotty sm sm sm

[rickybutlersays]

when i look at the tag #scones i don't want the baked good, i want two middle aged men flirting on a grey scale space ship, i want a ball of fury and a bundle of joy having a laugh together, i want two alcoholics looking at each other like they each hung the stars in the sky, i want one man whose love language is absolutely not physical touch being hugged and kissed at will by a man whose love language is absolutely physical touch, i want a scottish man and an american man kissing in the most claustrophobic and hidden tunnels in the ship, i want two men sharing each others special interests and job roles when required, i want Montgomery Scott and Leonard Horatio McCoy on the Starship Enterprise being in love. fuck your british pastries.

[z-socks]

My love of fictional engineers got me thinking about if Scotty (AOS Star Trek) and Tech (The Bad Batch) met up and what absolute bonkers inventions the two would get up to with the united forces of their ADHD and Autism. 

And then I realized that’s just Phineas and Ferb.

The Guild and Music!! ♬

╰─▸ Fitzgerald, Alcott, Lucy, Poe, Steinbeck, Hawthorne

CW: None besides probably slightly poor explanations.

Description: The Guild and music I think some of the characters would like.

F. Scott Key Fitzgerald $

╰─▸ Classical & Jazz ☑

I really want to say he likes country, but I don't really see him regularly listening to it. We know Fitzgerald is rich and stuck up, which is why I think he prefers "classier" music. Classical piano music was the first genre that came to mind. He likes how elegant it sounds, and he would probably get some sort of superiority complex for liking it.

"Hmm, I couldn't imagine listening to pop music, it's all the same. Classical music, however-"

For the exact same reason, he definetly likes Jazz. He would most likely avoid music he finds fake or electronic. The sounds of saxophones and pianos are literally and metaphorically music to his ears.

Ex; Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Bach, Mozart.

Louisa May Alcott $

╰─▸ Folk & Classical ☑

I don't want to sound repetitive but I really do think Alcott would like classical music, too. She would play some on vinyl as soft background music while she strategizes for the guild, preferring instrumental music as it's less distracting than music with lyrics.

She seems like she would enjoy the softness of folk music, matching her timid personality we often see in the show/manga. There's something, to me at least, that makes folk music seem more hollow than pop or rock. That's definitely something I can see her enjoying when it comes to music.

Ex; Mozart, The Highwaymen

Lucy Maud Montgomery $

╰─▸ Pop Punk & Indie ☑

Look at me and look at Montgomery and tell me she wouldn't like Avril Lavigne. She definitely likes pop punk love songs. She longs to feel that kind of connection with someone, especially after leaving the guild thinking she had absolutely nowhere to go.

On a different note, her softer side of that desire would probably be the reason she would enjoy indie music. She likes the softer vibe that contrast her strong emotions, but put those feelings into words as well.

Ex; Avril Lavigne, Blink-182, Bon Iver, The Neighbourhood

Edgar Allan Poe $

╰─▸ Goth & Horrorcore ☑

I think these two are pretty connected to Edgar Allan Poe's real world writing and the aesthetic of the bsd Poe. I think he would like romantic Goth music, songs that go into detail on emotion. He also really enjoys the unique style of instrumentals, lyricism is probably the most important thing in a gothic song to him, though.

However, I think he would enjoy horrorcore, too. This one is specifically because of his writings (real world), and also his seven-year obsession with killing Ranpo. On the contrary to softer goth music, I think he wouldn't mind horrorcore rap/hip-hop. (?) He would like the intensity and boldness of the lyrics.

Ex; London After Midnight, Bloody Dead and Sexy, Twiztid, Insane Clown Posse

John Steinbeck $

╰─▸ Old Country ☑

There's not much to say about him, but I think old country would remind him of his family back home. He would listen to it whenever feeling spiteful towards Fitzgerald because of his greed.

Ex; Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Dolly Parton

Nathaniel Hawthorne $

╰─▸ Gospel Music, Christian Rock ☑

Obviously because Hawthorne is quite religious, he definitely listens to gospel music. When he's not and he's angry or upset over something (probably Mitchell) he would listen to Christian rock. Even while upset or mourning, his religion is still important to him and his music taste highly reflects that.

·˚ ₊·› ͟͟͞͞꒰➳ A/N - Thank you so much for reading! I'm so sorry if I poorly described any of the genres i mentioned or used incorrectly labelled artists as examples. I'm gonna be completely honest, I didn't put much research into this and I don't really know all too much about some of the genres, so I hope I did them remote justice lol

Ex; Shirley Caesar, Skillet

Who's the little spoon out of Scotty and Bones?

Ooo…

You’d think McCoy cause he’s the few inches taller, but I think it’s either, depending on who needs the comfort. I think for the most part they face each other when sleeping, arms wrapped around, or one is a back sleeper and the other asleep on their chest. I think when they’re asleep, they are out and don’t move much. Where they fall asleep is where they stay asleep.
