Im glad you enjoyed this my brain is constantly throwing me threads so hc and aus pop into life very often :D
A few more bits in no particular order:
Pete and Danny make all the decorations for the craft fairs! And also they go out of their way to make extra pretty and colourful bits for the pride march in their town because where else can you choose to get little carved and hand painted dioramas with your prefred colours of pride?
And yes. They started off as rivals but now they are best friends and he often watches the kids and helps them paint and bake shitty cookies but he loves them like his own.
Cheeky also feeds the strays in the town but his main focus is his cats: The Nipple Crew. Visitors think hes insane as hes sometimes seen asking people "have you seen my nipples?" When one of them inevitably runs off and he needs to go find them. He knows each of them by heart and they have very silly variations of the name John Nipples. (Some examples my good friend @rosie-maybe offered: John Nipples Jr, John Nipples the third and Jop Ninnles)
His garage is called Magpies Roost.
Which brings me to an addition that slipped my mind: Magpie.
He is indeed here too. Its a little confusing because he popped up one day and no one remembers when he appeared just he wasn't there one day and now is a constant in the town with his shop, Caravan of Curiosities.
Alas it is not a caravan but its one of those charity shops/antique shops (Props to Rosie again for this idea, I love collaborative aus and hc) that you arent sure how theyre still open but somehow ALWAYS manages to have the thing you need. Magpie just smiles whenever hes asked how he manages to find these things. He's a strange fellow but everyone likes him and he is second in line for karaoke you best believe!
Maureen and Chlorine 10000% keep their matching colours ofc! Most of the time its clothes but during pride they make it a point to have highlights of each others colours as a beacon for their love.
Maureen loves braiding Chlorines hair too. Chlorine does Maureen's make up.
Pete loves teaching others how to press flowers and make flower crowns! He is also the florist at Maureen and Chlorines wedding because of course he is! He is their biggest stan!!!!
That bar is very busy yes yes! Karaoke, poetry nights, quiz nights and they've just gotten interest about stand up and improv shows and are trying to work that into their busy schedules.
CARLOS AS A LIFEGUARD?! YES. YES. 10000%!!!
Thats where Carlos meets Alejandra and a whirlwind summer romance happens where they adopt two rat friends as pets (this isnt self indulgent fuck you <said with affection)
Danny and Susie deserve everything. Susie helps Pete with his gardening and maybe even open up a small garden shop where they offer to teach people as long as they help tend to the plants and cacti a day a week.
Danny would collect those model cars and he and Pete spend many a weekend sitting together, Danny making his cars and Pete his dioramas.
Pete offers his services to repair anything with gold and his expertise in dioramas has saved many an heirloom and sentimental object.
Magpie is called Magpie because he likes jewellery that shines and can be seen walking around wearing stupid amounts of glimmering jewels, necklaces and the like on his person.
Oh and Pete has both arms tattooed in floral and nature tattoos.
Cheeky has a nose ring because I say so
Ive rambled on long enough.
