Mr. Fibb (full name Timothy “Fibb” Angusínâĸ) : He/him, trans bisexual t4t, Kalaallit/Native Greenlander American, 2nd gen immigrant, 62 yrs old.

Mr. Wink (full name Jonathan "Wink" Wiklund): he/him, trans gay t4t, Afro Swedish American, 62 yrs old.

"Fibb" and "Wink" are codenames for their job (which goes for most villains in EAI. Inc), but the names do have a little history to them. "Wink" is basically just a shortened version of "Wiklund", but "Fibb" is a family nickname given to Timothy since he was very young. An old vocal stim that Timothy used to have as a small child was overpronouncing the letter F and holding the sound as long as he could. It started out as "Fibbothy", but it eventually got shortened to "Fibb".

They're both autistic as shit. Fork found in kitchen but whatever. They're pretty alright at masking and most of the time their autism makes them really reserved outside of the house. They're very flat and monotone, even behind closed doors.

They hate showing PDA but it's still really obvious they love eachother. Whenever they get separated by one singular lunch table during the EAI Inc. lunch break they will do nothing but stare at eachother blankly but wistfully. Get a room you two.

They're friends with Crazy Old Cat Lady, and they're pretty much their only friend (she's a massive shut-in due to her schizophrenia and autism). The two of them are pretty unobtrusive so she finds their company pleasant.

Routines. They are obsessed with routine. They love routine so much it's in their blood. They have a structure for every day, every month, and every year. It's pretty much a special interest for them at this point. They love love loveeeee planning and organizing things it's not even funny. One day I will lay out their entire routine. One day.

Their love of routine has leaked into them finding joy in the suburbia aesthetic. You're technically next to other people, but you got a whole wall surrounding yourself and your loved ones and protecting you from any... untrustworthy figures. In some aspects, this love is rather innocuous and endearing, but at the end of the day, it's tearing both of them apart.

The both of them lived in pretty white dominant communities and have a difficult relationship with their race in general. They whitewash themselves a ton. Being indigenous and a immigrant has not fared well for Fibb, giving him some particularly bad diaspora throughout his entire life. He certainly was exposed to some parts of Kalaallit culture through his mother and grandparents, which he was educated fairly extensively on the topic. It was all done in good faith, but it ended up making Fibb feel like a fraud for not setting foot and residing on a homeland that he belongs to (spare a couple family vacations). Additionally, not a lot of the people around him recognize him as Inuit, usually mistaking him for being Asian (for his monolids) or even white. Of course, being surrounded by people who literally don't share his culture and are the majority in the country he was born in adds onto the shame. Most of Wink's whitewashing comes from stereotyping and labels he often got assigned for being Black. He's always been very reserved and his peers would often comment on things about his appearance when he more just wanted to blend in with the crowd. His hair often got the most comments, and he hates his hair as a result. He also stays reserved and mellow out of fear of being labeled as "aggressive".

Between the two of them, Fibb is the one who's yearning a tad more to leave their current lifestyle. He has an idea of what his culture practices, and he yearns for that strongly. Even then, he often stays pretty private about it out of embarrassment. Wink certainly has an idea of Black culture--he has some idea of how to tend to his hair texture (though his memory for it isn't great), he knows the history and whatnot--but he really doesn't know much. And reaching out feels pretty embarrassing for him. Both of them feel like they should "know better" and therefore have a hard time gaining confidence to reach out and get more in touch with their racial identity. They certainly want to make the change, but the idea of making that transition and embracing that change is daunting to them (due to being autistic).

Fibb's an overthinker, and has a strong fear of mortality/the passage of time as a result of balding at 14. This also feeds into his racial identity, as preserving culture is heavily emphasized in indigenous communities. It's a big motivator for why he keeps in touch with his racial identity despite being so whitewashed. Despite the crippling fear, it does encourage him to do better everyday, but... it sure makes failure hurt and hiding enticing.

Lightening things up a tad, I like to think Fibb hates going to the dentist and Wink hates going to the barber, especially after being turned into animal hybrids. In order to combat this, Fibb cuts Wink's hair and Wink cleans Fibb's teeth, both of them formerly having careers in hair grooming and dentistry. Very very tender all around.

Ironically, their former careers in question were a horse groomer (Fibb) and a dentist for zoo animals (Wink). They can overlook/ignore that detail most of the time when tending to one another, but when they do... it hurts to feel like you're technically treating your lover like an animal rather than a person, tending to their traits for the sake of functionality rather than expression.

They have very very difficult feelings about being part animal. They certainly hate it, oh lord do they hate it sometimes. It's made their bodies more demanding, makes them essentially physically disabled, and makes them look ridiculous. It also pressures them to whitewash themselves even more out of fear of being seen as any more "inhuman" than they already are. At the same time... it's a little fun. Sometimes. Fibb finds it fun to clap his hands sometimes, and Wink always had a fondness for walking on his tippy toes like a horse, and the two of them always find it cute when their partner's tail wags with enthusiasm at the sight of their lover. Despite all the trials and misery that comes from it, there's something nice about having your own little love language. Perhaps they are furries in denial.

Wink's hair/fur sheds and grows like crazy, so Wink needs to get haircuts more often than the average Joe. But what to do with all this hair? Fibb makes clothes out of them! He's been fond of sewing since he was a child (his mother got him into it) and it's a big special interest for him. It was one of the few things that Fibb was interested in relearning after gaining flippers for hands. Most of the clothes don't leave the house though, as per many traits of Fibb and Wink. Wink finds it cute.

They both like doing puzzles: fibb likes Sudoku and Wink likes crosswords. But Wink is the bigger puzzle guy of the two, specifically being fond of brainteasers and riddles. Wink enjoys a good challenge and it's quite the double edged motivator for him.

Despite being a walrus, Fibb hates the cold. Conversely, Wink hates being hot. Theyre both very sensitive to temperature. When they go to sleep, Fibb has a bunch of blankets over him while Wink has at most a sheet or two covering him. It makes Fibb look like he hates Wink when the opposite is true.

They've been together for decades and they still act like they just started dating. They're lovey dovey in their own weird little way and love each other more than anything else in the world. They get coy and sheepish and giggle like high school girls over the mildest and unremarkable thing their lover does. They're so vanilla that it warps into being nutty. They make love to each other in a Hank and Peggy Hill kind of way where they're acting like unbuttoning a shirt is super risque.

They both have some alexithymia and like to validate one another on emotions they're having. When they're kissing or cuddling or whatever they're both pointing out how gay they're both being to an obnoxious degree to make each other happy.
