#ares3

Annabeth: ok, since you're an ares kid, this should come naturally to you, so just tell what you would do when an opponent comes at you with a sword.

The ares kid: I'll take my spear, aND IMPALE THEIR HEAD WITH IT!!!

Annabeth, not even slightly disturbed because that is actually pretty tame for an ares kid: yes, but what technique would you use?

The ares kid: the onE WHERE I IMPALE THEIR HEAD WITH MY SPEAR!!!

Hii! thank you so much! The inspo for Aryas outfit actually came from one of my very early asoiaf drawings that I stumbled over recently. I changed some things and added a few mongolian pieces of clothing (tunic and shoes), and the whole wolfmask/headdress thing is very princess mononoke now that I look at it 😅 As for Sansa, I didn't really have a special inspiration, I tried to lift some elements from Aryas outfit, like the shoulder pads, to tie them together somehow. Ah! maybe a bit of scandinavian design in the jewelry!

okay so i have many headcanons for ALL the characters in The Martian, it’s my favourite book, and i love the entire ares3 crew very much, but Beth is my favourite so i’m starting with her

She’s not the space nerd you’d expect 

Like you really want her to, but her first love was computers, and she never had a space phase (no pun intended) as a kid, so she doesn’t know that much about the history of spaceflight or other planets 

obviously she knows a lot about space, she’s an astronaut but she only knows what she NEEDS to know

She is a true crime nerd tho 

She ADORES Agatha Christie, and that brought her into the true crime community

 Podcasts are her BITCH and she will listen to them all the time, but especially when she’s on runs 

she got into them in college but they really carried her through astronaut training 

Anglophile 

This girl FUCKING loves England. The Beatles are just one example of her weird obsession with that country

She wanted so badly to meet the queen when she was younger

 She specifically asked NASA for royalty news while she was up in space, but they said no 

VERY attached to her tech

Like gives a name to every computer or gaming system she owns.

 Her in-space computer was Candice, her work laptop is Johnathan, her gaming computer is Sam and her personal is Kyle. (yes she does have three) and her pc is COVERED in stickers. 

When her last laptop died (Gregory) she cried. Like literally cried. That computer got her undergrad and had been with her for too long not to. 

Coffee snob 

She won’t buy it from Dunkin, it has to be at least Starbucks but she actually prefers local, and will spend at least 15 minutes searching for an independent before resorting to a chain. 

She got a premium coffee maker (with all the bells and whistles) for her birthday one year and it is one of her most prized possessions 

Is definitely addicted to caffeine and got headaches if she didn’t get her fix, but when NASA found out they made her detox on decaf for three weeks, and was confined to two cups a day for the remainder of time as an astronaut 

Once she got back tho, she was right back to her old ways. 

Night owl

Obviously not a morning person, she HATES waking up, but she also loves staying up. 

It’s something about being awake while the rest of the world sleeps

Also it’s just fun to stay awake 

She’d work for hours into the night before she became an astronaut 

let’s be honest, she still does even after she’s back from space

Chris hates when she does this, because “sleep is vital to good health” 

she gradually stops for Chris’ sake, but when he’s gone for whatever reason, she’s up until 3am

She has an extreme morning routine

Will not be productive if she does not follow this routine to T 

It goes: hit snooze at least three times, drag herself out of bed, make coffee, drink coffee, 20 minute workout,  shower, get ready for the day, stop for coffee on the way to work, go to work. 

It takes her like 2 hours to get fully awake. 

No one can talk to her until at least her second cup of coffee 

You are most kind, goodness me! Thank you so much!
