THE MARVEL HOLE

• natasha is actually scared to death of spiders despite being nicknamed after one and so is alexei because the apple never falls too far from the tree

• yelena and melina aren't because they're curious instead of afraid and yelena gives nat so much shit for it

• melina had the time to teach natasha how to braid, but yelena was too young and to this day she hasn't learned how to, the braids she had at the beggining were made by a fellow widow and the ones she got when they went to release alexei from prison were braided by natasha

• yelena totally stole fanny from some rich asshole that didn't knew how to take care proper care of her (don't ask me how, i just know)

• alexei and melina would write back and forth while he was in the prison and that's how he knew exactly where she lived

• by extension, melina would've loved folklore because this while isolated cabin at the outskirts of saint petersburg shit just screams the lakes for me

• natasha was absolutely obsessed with nirvana since alexei blasted smells like teen spirit when they were riding back home from picking up some groceries

• yelena is a big time blanket hogger and she would totally dance around in her pj's before going to bed

• alexei is a completely useless cook, everytime he was in charge of any meal it would be take out or pb and jelly sandwiches (and nat secretly loved it)

• melina didn't had a job at first when they got to ohio because she was supposed to set the girls a steady routine, but then she gave up after six months because not only she couldn't trust a stranger to look after them but also because she didn't wanted them to be raised by nannies like she had been due to her parents being too busy with their jobs at KGB

• she also would've been a veterinarian or a botanist (or both because she's a badass that could totally do it)

Alexei had his wedding band melted down to cap his teeth (if you look closely he has two or three gold teeth) because the prison wouldn’t let him keep his ring, but he found a way to convince them after he (purposely) knocked out a few teeth and requested to have replacements put in.

Melina, on the other hand, kept hers at her farm house on a small jewelry dish on her book shelves and would try it on from time to time.

THAT or he got it when they still lived in Ohio as a joke and she hated it.
