man can't believe i drop my characters and then this event gave me ideas for All Of Them

anyway hawkeye's snowglobe is still going to be of crabapple cove and his dad
spiteologist
he's had some happy moments in Ryslig, but Maine is still the last place he was just uncomplicatedly happy
spiteologist
and it's going to be a bit bittersweet because, well. his dad.
spiteologist
but I'm thinking it's going to be either the woods in the fall (because aside from anything else he's always wanted to show Lust Crabapple Cove with the autumn colours) or an interior scene of his dad burning the turkey at Thanksgiving
spiteologist
I did think about having it be his graduation from medical school, but I feel like something homey and simple and cosy fits more with how his arc and character have gone thus far
spiteologist
(for the record: Regulus' would have been Bert's wedding; Bethan's would have been something to do with her family; and Casimir would have been real fun to tangle with because he's literally never been happy)
spiteologist
so i guess i lied about ideas for All Of Them but to be fair while casimir did not give me ideas he did give me a Feeling
spiteologist
the feeling is "oh no i made myself sad about the horrible sadistic villain man again"
Haunted Boobs
Oh this plurk is giving me feelings
spiteologist
I like the Thanksgiving one best, I think, but like... I don't know if it would be his happiest memory, because I feel like it would have been either the first or second Thankgiving after his mom died, so they did laugh like hell but they definitely cried as well
spiteologist
but I just really like the idea of his snowglobe being this blackened mess of a Thanksgiving dinner interspersed with takeout containers?
spiteologist
i don't know what kind of takeout would have been available in Maine in the 1930s but
spiteologist
you get the point
spiteologist
but part of why i like it is that it would look awful, like. a kid and his dad with a terrible, inedible meal, tears running down their faces

but it was also the day that hawk realised just how much his dad loved him and that they were going to get past the grief T-T
Haunted Boobs
Sadly takeout wasn't actually a thing in the US till the mid-40s
spiteologist
yeah, i realised that as soon as i said it
spiteologist
POINT STANDS THOUGH
spiteologist
...the other thought that just occurred to me that would be super cute is

remember in felfri when lust brought him ribs and some booze and they just hung out and banged as humans?
he liked that
Haunted Boobs
That was a good time
spiteologist
but I feel like one of the things I keep coming back to with Hawk is that, while he's made a life in Ryslig and he can accept that now, his heart is always somewhere else

and not just because it's literally in a drawer in his office
Haunted Boobs
Maine will always be home, no matter how long he is in Ryslig
spiteologist
exactly
spiteologist
also unrelated but hawkeye is so irritated with the bugs he sPECIFICALLY SAID NOT TO KIDNAP PEOPLE TO VACATION
Haunted Boobs
Hawkeye is valid
Haunted Boobs
...I just realized this is Hawk and Lust's first holiday as Officially Together. I hope he is prepared to be spoiled with gifts and whatnot, because that is something she does.
spiteologist
he doesn't even mind this place as much as some, he's just. come ON, parasites, people were VERY CLEAR THIS TIME.
