hi guys phillipadam + rosemary themed graves headcanons in no particular order :3
1.) graves and retirement adam's retirement, while a little sudden, wasn't all that much of a surprise. he had always been a family man- always wanted that kind of life- so while the adjustment was a little difficult at first, adam eventually settled just fine. graves, on the other hand, handles his retirement a little differently. it's harder for him to get used to because this kind of lifestyle had been one he carried with him for so long. being the ceo of a whole pmc, having the ambitions he did, his life was extremely chaotic for the longest time and his work required basically all of his attention. he never thought he'd get to retire, hell, he doesn't even like the idea of it because he hates doing nothing... but with that in mind, here he is now, with his husband and their daughter... and for the first time in a while, graves has never enjoyed doing "nothing" more. now that he has things to focus on other than work, the idea of retiring is a little more appealing. 2.) adam and graves: wedding ring edition i'll get into their actual wedding some other day, but that's beside the point. when it comes to their wedding rings, they both got matching gold bands that are on the simpler side. they keep their rings on their dogtags due to a fear of somehow losing it (adam) or a fear that it would get messed up during like... combat (graves), but they also have silicone ring that they wear on their ring fingers instead
3.) graves as a father i think, as a father, graves is a little clueless. it kinda goes back to his general inexperience with life outside of the military... but sometimes it feels like operating a pmc is leagues more easier than caring for a baby (especially one that requires as much care as rosemary). he seems a little awkward as a parent, though well meaning. to me, i think he'd do the best with teenagers- something about being able to appeal to their want to be seen as an adult and also being used to putting up with stubborn and slightly stupid recruits. also, i think that while he certainly likes having a daughter, he always imagined himself having a son if he would have kids at all.
4.) random bullshit go - graves gossips about work to rosemary. by the time shes five she knows the ins and outs of top secret government contracts /silly - graves suddenly has bursts of "holy shit i have a family" and immediately goes to adam and/or rosemary (whoevers closer) and just holds them - graves can and will be obnoxiously loud in support of rosemary - rosemary has a gaggle of uncles from shadow company (or a whole lot of grown siblings from adam constantly becoming the father figure of people)
