Excessively Detailed Headcanons: Gabrielle - 16, 21, 28, 35, 38 16: Biggest and smallest long term goal? Biggest long term goal is to someday get possibly married and have a chance at a family, since hers too often has been disastrous; smallest long term goal? To line in properly that beautiful fish that got away because she was afraid to reel it in. 21: Turn-ons? Turn-offs? Turn ons definitely would be seduction using one’s voice, a lover/purveyor of the fine arts, a dashing smile (save Gilderoy – that one had too much razzle dazzle), but most of all, a kind heart. Turn offs are pompous, arrogant twitheads (cough Hamilton, even as he’s a good worker and COUGH COUGH Maurice) who believe they’re immortals. 28: Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy? She probably sees quite a few individuals as her best friends, of which would include old classmates from Hogwarts who now some are Ministry workers: Persepolis Zephyr, Francis Pepper, Zora Roh; Marcus Annwyl and Alex Belisario get honorable mentions! Worst enemy? Likely her stepfather of sorts, Jonathan. Or Maurice, depending on the day. 35: What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time? Good inquiry, indeed! Scrapbooking in her younger days, definitely – nowadays? She’s so busy with work, there’s hardly any time to waste. 38: What recharges them when they’re feeling drained? A good strong cup of tea along with either the wireless playing or vintage records that her uncle and a few friends have given to her. Excessively Detailed Headcanons: Rufus - 11, 19, 34, 41, 48 11: Intellectual pursuits? Is it sad to say he hasn’t had many in his lifetime? (whoops.) But I definitely would gander he’s attempted in finding some high intellectual circles to meet up with? 19: What do they think about before falling asleep at night? Whether or not he’s making his mother proud because he misses her terribly.

AWWW That's okay. It's the thought that counts.

I left this sitting here for a little while because when I'm in a really negative headspace it's hard for me to think of things that like have made me happy without also thinking about how they make me sad. 

However, there are three things I can think off that really tie for my most favorite memory. 

It's a sense memory I just sort of recovered late in the summer and it was brought on by the smell of Pond's Cold Cream. It's of my grandmother's nightly ritual taking care of her face and the way the smell of the lotion would wash over me when she held me close after a bad dream, or just because. I can remember the exact weight of her arm draped over me, and how when she slept she always seemed to keep one hand close to her face, and the little puff puff snore noise her mouth made when she'd finally drop off to sleep.

Time I spent with my sister listening to M2M, Robyn, the Spice Girls, and a million other weird bands that seemed to have nothing to do with each other. We would stay up all night, or sleep out under the stars. We watched Dirty Dancing every single day and Katie would always rewind the part where you see Patrick Swayze's ass and try to see if you could ACTUALLY see his dinker or if it was one of those movie roomers like the ghost in 3 Men & a Baby. There is still some hot debate between us about WHAT you could see - though we ALL saw Jennifer Grey's white panties. Also we fought over Abu really saying "Oh Shit" in Aladdin, and what the dandelion seeds spell when Simba flops on them in The Lion King.
