1: most vivid/favorite memory with them

my most vivid memory of tommy is just like. being in my safe house with the vague knowledge of tommy being upstairs/in the house somewhere. it’s more…feeling than visuals? just an intense familiarity with the situation at hand

i actually. do not have a very vivid memory of billy. i have just snatches of stuff or Knowledge of how we interacted…that isn’t to say i wasn’t close to billy just. nothing is very clear

5: what your first impression of them was in canon

i cant remember the exact meeting but i know i noted how much tommy & billy looked me/wanda/pietro and how the two were obviously Twins

i also mentally noted billy’s feats when i heard about his Magic Accident and how his powers were, somewhat, on par with wanda’s & noticed that with tommy too

beyond jotting down Evidence it was. i don’t know. Something. seeing my small grandchildren that are so much like my children. it was like looking into some kind of looking glass into a past that could’ve been or something like that. kind of oddly painful & also flashes of Big Fear that i could mess up horribly as i had before

6: what you thought of them after you’d talked/interacted more

tommy was important to me and i could recognize why he acted like he did and tried to help best i could. i wasn’t very deterred by his deflection or him periodically emotionally withdrawing or running away….i Understood that just the prospect of family was scary considering what had happened to him, much less getting Emotionally Entrenched in one. he just needed time, and someone to come after him

billy was also important to me even though i wasn’t able to, initially, connect with him very well. i understood why he wasn’t immediately accepting of The Soul Family which….didn’t mean it wasn’t kind of Pain but i was Patient about it
