Darlin is a couple years younger than The Boys(tm) so they were coddled a lot (most of it just annoying brotherly teasing more than coddling)

Milo and Darlin are cousins! Milo played the good kid around their parents growing up and it peeved them off so bad LMFAO

Asher was sooo a skater kid and Darlin definitely picked up skating because of him (as you can imagine, they had a knack for bruises and sprains trying to do tricks wayy out of their paygrade LOL)

Of the three boys, David was the most protective of Darlin so if they ever got hurt he was the one walking them back home

Milo’s growth spurt hit before any of the other boys, David was the last one to hit his (we all know how this plays out for them LOL)

When he was younger, David looked more like his mom than his dad, but as he got older he began to look more and more like Gabe

David has a freckle on his wrist that matched one his mother had

Milo and Marie are damn near identical but he has Colm’s eyes and it’s enough to tick him off on a bad day

Asher and his sister, Madelyn, have vitiligo. Asher’s reaches up all the way to his scalp so he’s got splotches of white hair from the lack of pigment

All of the listeners are a very good group of friends, but between the four, Babe and Angel are besties while Darlin and Sweetheart are besties

Look at me. The listeners flirt with each other all the time IDC argue with the wall!! Babe is more in the lane of cute, sweet compliments, Sweetheart is a step above that being a little more overt with pet names while Angel is like shameless about it. Darlin doesn’t usually initiate but whenever Angel cracks a joke about them looking good Darlin will start flexing their muscles very obviously and go “Who me? 💪🏽💪🏽” LMFAOOO

Sam is constantly bringing a small gift whenever he’s invited to someone’s home “Its the polite thing to do” he says

Angel knows how to cook just fine they just haaaaaaaate doing it. It stresses them out so badly because its a lot to focus on if it isn’t a simple recipe, and they usually move to make something to eat while they’re hungry instead of planning ahead for whatever meal of the day it is.

I like to think Gabe had a soft spot for Darlin when he was alive, he was pretty similar to how they were when he was younger

Sam doesn’t usually participate too much in the Mates group chat outside of confirming plans. The first time he sends a funny image the others lose their minds

Sam is a sucker for all kinds of animals and actively has to fight the instinct to bring one home with him. When he was a kid he loved looking around for bugs and occasionally he’ll record a video of him holding one and send them to Darlin

Babe grew up with reptiles as a kid! They want to get a snake but haven’t gotten around to it yet

Darlin was a crybaby as a kid but they always tried their best to contain it. Living embodiment of the ☹️ emoji from trying to bite back tears

After getting married, Angel’s knack for taking David’s work shirts/hoodies increases tenfold “its got my name on it now >:]”

Babe is a bit of a picky eater, Asher orders pizza so often that they’ve gotten sick of it but they won’t stop him from ordering anyway

Sweetheart will occasionally phase cloak through a hug to mess with Milo (the sensation freaks him out)

Gabe’s wolf form is almost pitch black with a white spot on his chest, his wife’s was a dark rusty color

Gabe and his generation of pack members were certainly big but the kids ended up much larger than any of them anticipated. Even Milo, who’s smaller than his peers ended up a little bigger than his parent’s forms.

Gabe ADORED Sweetheart, they got along like old friends. Sweetheart was the type to chat up their friend’s parents growing up to make a good impression (it stressed Milo out like no other to see his mate act buddy buddy with his Alpha of all people)

Darlin’s wolf form is riddled in scarred scratches and bite marks. Their lip and eyebrow are scarred, one of their ears was ripped to shreds, and their tail was damaged so badly most of it became necrotic and fell off, they’ve just got a little bobtail. After the inversion, David’s wolf form loses a good chunk of his ear opposite to Darlin’s. “We kinda match now lol”

Darlin’s first pack run after returning to Dahlia is cathartic for them. They stay outside in their wolf form for hours after the run.

Sam dyed his hair brown after running from Mont Blanc. He grows it out a little around the time he meets Alexis but goes back to brown after his turning. He’s now fully back to his dirty blond :]

Sam has a small photo of his grandmother on his nightstand with a small candle burning next to it. Darlin makes sure to light it for him if they’re awake before he is

Angel has a tattoo on their ankle for their cat from when they were still with Michael. Its of the M pattern on their cat’s forehead

Milo is the type to avoid a show or game if people bug him enough about starting it. He doesn’t even think he wouldn’t enjoy the contents, but it triggers something in him to be defiant about it unless Sweetheart sits him down to watch it

Darlin will steal bites off of the boys’ plates if they’re out eating with each other. Asher does it back with a smile, Milo will whine like a baby about it, and David will just smack their hand away (they just laugh when it happens)

his mum is like a plant mum and swears by talking to her plants because it helps them grow, and she goes out for "wild flower walks" where she picks specific flowers based on a bouquet she wants to make and then use in tea or her cooking/baking, and she collects mugs and uses them for everything she can (plant pots, paint pots, for her jewellery, storing medicine, "temporary" piggy bank that is never temporary, some open-concept tool box that holds woodworking tools), maybe she's a painter, or a carver, or a knitter - that depends on whatever medium catches her attention first and then becomes her craft hobby for the next half-year, she's very sporadic with her current fixations

and his dad probably collects stuff like seashells or postcards or maybe something more bizarre like bird art in state national park brochures, and they're displayed EVERYWHERE, or clocks and watches and has a "tinkering station" in their shed where he pulls up those magnifying glasses that jewellers use to take apart old clocks and makes animal art from it (and they're all of mrs. talbot's favourite animals)

((wait I kinda see them as kusuo saiki's mum and dad coded yes.))

they're very eclectic magpie-type people who collect trinkets and little things that remind them of each other, or of asher and madelyn and these little things are scattered all over the house, and their walls are FULL of paintings and prints and photographs of all styles and mediums and of themselves and the people/animals they love, put in all sorts of frames (nothing is taped up raw, if it will be hung up it WILL be in a frame - a thrifted or handmade (by asher's mum) one)

and there's always holiday or seasonal decorations up SOMEWHERE, could be a small string of Christmas lights or fake jack-o-lanterns in the hallway or going up the stairs, an easter basket with fake painted eggs in the living room, dried fruits and leaves in a decorative bowl in the kitchen... you'll find practically every major and some cultural holiday decor in their house

i feel like these traits were something asher and maddie were both embarrassed about as kids/preteens, wishing their parents could be "normal" for once whenever their friends would come over and they'd hear people in their schools say that their parents were kooky, but then grew to love their quirky parents who let them be whoever they wanted and encouraged them to indulge in their hobbies and interests so passionately and without a single care in the world about what others think... they're so supportive and open and want their children to be unapologetically themselves

so you KNOW asher and his mum bond over and watch star trek together, or he would play video games with his whole family growing up (the just dance competitions were intense I fear), and he and his dad would go hunting for whatever his dad was collecting and they'd make games out of it like judging stuff as if they're art critics
