#this friendship specifically is criminally underrated smh

behind the door of the girls' room in fox tower

(because there's an unacceptable deficit of content of my girls)

Allison gives a fashion show for Renee and Dan every time she goes shopping

they all have very different music tastes so you never really know what's going to be blasting on the speaker when you walk in

Dan can get away with wearing both of the others' clothes (Allison is taller than her and Renee always oversizes) and does so shamelessly

(very much " *from in the closet* Dan do you know where my black Dior tank top is?" ".... no..." "...you're wearing it aren't you?")

Dan is banned from making popcorn (after setting off the smoke alarm one too many times)

Renee always gets the bathroom first because the others take much longer

Dan is very much flings-herself-across-people-when-on-the-couch and Allison and Renee have grown very accustomed to being used as a pillow/footrest

I've always liked to believe that Renee has this seemingly uncharacteristic, endearingly chaotic, pleasantly unhinged side to her and that's the Renee that Allison and Dan are most familiar with

like, for example, they have a strict "no bringing pets larger than a shoebox home and for no longer than a week" policy because Renee would just disregard the regular "no pets" rule that all the residents of fox tower are supposed to follow and it had led to Dan and Allison being scared shitless by many an animal, including specifically one memorable tortoise that Allison to this day insists had rabies

Allison cuts Dan and Renee's hair. Dan once caught her watching a bunch of videos on tips for cutting curly hair and promptly tackled Allison in a hug

on that note: Dan is a big hugger (and cuddler)

but she is great at knowing when not to and respecting boundaries

"hey guys look at what I got us for the apartment" "what is that?" "i don't know but it's cute"

all the petnames, all the petnames: babe, sweetie, dude, hoe, honey, darling, bro, etc

also Dan and Allison will randomly just "bitchhhhh" each other

they are foxes and therefore, by nature, little shits and they know all the best ways to mildly annoy each other

for example: Dan will lean over the back of the couch where Allison is studying and read Allison's french ii homework in a horrible french accent just to watch her cringe, Renee will make eye contact with Dan as she pours the milk into her bowl before her cereal, Allison will intentionally turn on inappropriate music when Renee is on the phone with her family just for the satisfaction of receiving a rare Renee Walker glare (though Allison will usually follow it up with a "tell your mom i said hi")

they also know the other parts about each other like their Dunkin orders and allison's least favorite teachers and Dan's favorite sitcoms and what type of tea Renee is currently obsessed with

Dan and Allison are literally Renee's biggest fans and they just hype up every damn thing she does, even if it's completely mundane

(Renee: *transfers her coffee carefully from the counter to the coffee table*. Dan and Allison: talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, totally unique, etc etc)

when Renee and Allison eventually start dating literally nothing changes between the three of them because they were all girlfriends to begin with

but i hc that Dan can be like mildly (and endearingly) oblivious at times, so Matt will come and kidnap her for a bit to give Renee and Allison Alone Time

speaking of Matt, the girls have the most comfortable couch in their living room and my guy can be found sleeping on it at any and all hours of the day

"listen Boyd, you may be dating our girlfriend but that does not give you any claim over or right to OUR couch" "at ease, Reynolds. for your information, me dating our girlfriend has nothing to do with this. and you're gonna have to pry me from this couch if you think you're going to use it at all in the next hour...you should just be thankful I'm such good company"

(*cue Dan walking in on a sulky Allison sitting on the legs of a very smug Matt in a futile attempt at causing him discomfort after unsuccessfully trying to pull/roll/slide/flip him off the couch, all of which was observed (and pointedly unassisted) by a very amused looking Renee who is sat sideways on the neighboring armchair*)

they have loads of inside jokes between themselves and none of the guys get them (Andrew one time asked Renee about one and was given a sly smile and rejection in response)

they rearrange their rooms multiple times a semester for no reason at all

their rooms smell amazing though, due largely to Renee's liking of candles and incense

they genuinely enjoy each other's company

like even when they're not together they are constantly facetiming each other..Renee will go home for an occasion and Dan will FaceTime her for a quick "hey babe" and check in but then they'll start talking and Allison will come over and pop her head in and they'll stay like that for an hour

"hoes before bros" but it's literally hoes before everyone

when they first joined the team they had far more substantial fights but over the years and maturation and inevitable banding together, their fights have mostly become just basic, petty arguments that they forget about before the day is over

Renee is the fox-acclaimed best baker in the state and Dan and Allison will and have laid themselves down for her homemade cinnamon buns

"Dan. sugar. love, babydarlinglightofmylife" "the fuck you want Reynolds?" "would you perhaps consider cancelling practi-" "nO Allison" "but dannn"

(see also: "Dan im terribly sorry but i can't go to practice today" "oh? and why is that?" "oh you know, i think I've come down with something, i feel awful" "aw. what's wrong?" "you know, your usual fever and sore throat" "sore throat... interesting. so that wasn't you in the shower screeching along to one direction an hour ago?" "er, well i-" "get your ass in gear Allison, practice in twenty")

i could go on about these three but imma stop
