I’ve been seeing this #valentinesDayChallenge❤️ going around Facebook and I don’t really feel like blasting all the details of my IRL relationship to the internet, so... I’m bringing it here for the OTP headcanons edition! (Feel free to copy and paste for your own ships)
OTP: Gyro Gearloose and Mark Beaks
How’d they meet: They were at the same university for a bit- Gyro was finishing his PhD and Mark was in undergrad. They were at some engineering department social event and ended up playing chess together.
How long have they been together: Depends on what timeline were in.
Married: Idk, I might do a wedding fic eventually? Mark’s mom would plan the whole event.
Kids: One Definitely Real Boy, and some other assorted robots.
Age difference: Gyro’s about 3 or 4 years older, at least going by straight years from birth to present . If you factor in time-tub adventures, Gyro’s racked up a couple extra.
Who was interested first: Mark.
Who is taller: Gyro, but only by a little bit
Who said I love you first: Mark, he throws the phrase around pretty casually. Gyro took several years to say it back.
Favorite tv show to watch together: Major Courage? 😉
Most impatient: Definitely Mark
Most sensitive: Probably Mark again
Most stubborn: Both? But Gyro probably wins by a bit
Falls asleep first: Neither are great at going to bed on time, but, since Mark can’t put his dang phone down for more than 60 seconds, Gyro probably sleeps a little better.
Cooks better: Lol, they’re both disasters in the kitchen. Boyd loves to cook, though.
Better morning person: Gyro. He’s pretty set in his routine and gets up at the same time every day. Marks sleep schedule is all over the place.
Better driver: Gyro. I’m pretty sure Mark Beaks is the embodiment of the “gays who can’t drive “ stereotype.
Most competitive: Ooooo tough call, but probably Mark.
Who is the neat freak? They’re both messy, but Gyro at least tries to keep things tidy
Where was their first kiss? According to my main fic-verse, in Mark’s college dorm room. Alt fics have them in Mark’s office at Waddle, and the Duckburg Museum of Natural History.
How long did it take to get serious? In my main fic-verse? 13 years.
Who plans date night? Mark
Who picks where you go to dinner? Mark again
Who’s the first one to admit when they’re wrong? Lol neither. They just devolve into petty bickering forever
Who has more tattoos? Gyro has none. I’ve joked about Mark having the Waddle logo on his buttock, but I’m not sure it’s actually part of my canon.
Who sings better? Probably Mark? He’s not great but Gyro doesn’t even bother.
Hogs the remote? Mark for sure
Spends the most? Billionaire Beaks
Did they go to the same school? University of Hamsterdam for a bit.
