I'm Dog, I use she/her pronouns, I'm 20+ years old and this is my yapping account :D
I like coffee, fashion, perfume, dogs (obv), nail design, magical girls and linguistics!
Main fandoms: Mob psycho 100, Lupin III, Ace attorney, Studio Investigrave games, Scott pilgrim, Bojack horseman, Inside job, Solar opposites, Pretty cure (futari wa, wonderful, hirogaru sky especially), Sugar sugar rune, Tokyo mew mew, Madoka magica and some more
This one is going to be a bit different. Usually I try to find a specific breed match for the characters but space dogs have almost always been muts with light fur (so they're more visible on b&w screens) and it's very important for me to stick to that. Moreover, even though I will mention which dog breed(s) were most likely in the mix of a character, this time I tried to match actual dogs' stories more than just appearance and character. Also mind the tags
Ryland Grace
Grace is a very small cream-colored wire-haired terrier mix. Which terrier exactly impossible to find out but you can see it in his face and ears. He's the kind of dog to act awkward around other dogs but be the clingiest creature with humans. He's cautious around strangers but with his family he's always asking for pets. And he loves cobbing and WILL whine for you to cob him back.
Anyway did you know Ryland Grace dog has actually existed irl. Back when they were still experimenting with sending dogs to space, there were two dogs that underwent lots and lots of training. And right before they were about to take them to the launch site, one dog escaped, and they couldn't tell anyone, not even the operation leader, because everyone will immediately be taken to court. So they found literally just a random dog, named him ZIB (Zamena Ischeznuvshego Bobika; Disappeared Pooch's Substitute) and sent him to space with absolutely zero preparation. He wasn't found out until way later, when he successfully landed with his new space dog buddy and the program leader asked who tf that was. In official documents Zib was later renamed into Zib (Zapasnoy Issledovatel Bez podgotovki; Backup Untrained Researcher). He never went to space again and lived happily with a scientist for the rest of his dog life.
Olesya Ilyukhina
She could have been sold as a purebred Russian toy terrier if she wasn't just a bit larger than the standard. She also probably has some discoloration here and there. But her general attitude is very toy terrier-y. She's always there trying to help with a task when the task requires zero dog and she definitely has a happy tail syndrome. She's very loud and yappy and overly enthusiastic, and it's not very beneficial for her relationships with other dogs - she frequently annoys them and accidentally misses their corrections. But she's a great companion and will bring you her favorite toy when you're upset. She's bad with agility courses because she loses focus pretty quickly but she's surprisingly easily trained. She's like a failed therapy dog who still knows how to open drawers and stuff.
To be fair Olesya has always reminded me of Laika. I'm sure she affected Olesya in indescribable ways when she was a kid and she felt very bitter-sweet agreeing to the mission, knowing she's bound to repeat Laika's fate. I think it gave her some comfort.
Laika was the first animal to orbit the Earth. She was extremely loved but wasn't expected to return from her mission, and she never did, dying 5 hours into from hyperthermia due to a building error, even though she was expected to live for a week.
Yáo Li-Jie
He's a descender of Xiasi Quan. A very, VERY distant descender, probably with a mix of other mutts here and there, so his fur is kind of a mix of different textures and he's way smaller, but he managed to preserve the attitude of Xiasi Quan perfectly. He's a natural leader, he's a hunting dog after all, and he probably had some shepherd dogs in his ancestry because he gets really snappy when someone doesn't listen and makes sure to correct all kinds of unwanted behavior. He's not a big fan of strangers but doesn't get aggressive for no reason. With family, though, he is a huge goofball and very very gentle, even when playing rough.
Since I'm assigning everyone a real space dog, I have to talk about Dezik. I believe Yao as the leader of the mission had already had previous experience being in space, and Dezik had been in space twice! He was THE first dog, along with his space dog buddy, to be sent into the outer layers of the atmosphere. The first time was a success but he unfortunately did not survive the second time.
Not assigning a real dog this time since she never went to space but
Eva Stratt
Is a long-haired dutch shepherd. Dutch shepherds are... tough. They're tough to understand, they're tough to control but it's definitely worth it. They are THE herders and HAVE to control your every move. They're also very independent and very smart and have great intuition. While not outright aggressive, they aren't big fans of strangers and will keep their distance. They're very calm and reserved with their family too but don't mind showing their gentler side to those they trust. Dutch shepherds need to work and get miserable without a job because they inherently want to help and service those around them, even if in their own weird independent and controlling way.
Back in highschool, Buffy LOVED her perfumes! Probably had a pretty big collection and always had one in her purse. And the sweeter the perfume, the better! Pink Sugar Aquolina was #Her fragrance and she wore it religiously, even though there were some Chanels and Diors on her vanity table. She never really managed to use them completely.
As she got older, her love for sweet fragrances never went away, but she began to prefer less saccharine scents, moving from candy-sweet to floral-sweet, maybe a bit fruity and powdery. She also stopped getting expensive ones because, you know. Bills. But she was forever grateful to Past Buffy who had BEGGED mom and dad to get her Trésor Lancôme. She barely used it as a teen so the bottle was pretty much full. It used to seem too "adult" and not sweet enough but it grew on her.
She never got rid of any of Joyce's perfumes and from time to time she likes to open them and smell the caps. She can never bring herself to actually spray them.
Dawn
Thankfully, Buffy's teenagehood perfumes her parents spent a fortune on didn't go to waste. Dawn loved to play with them as a kid, and Buffy would always get angry at her for stealing them, but with age she stopped caring that much. And oh, HOW Dawn loved them! She didn't even care about the scent itself, she just loved how mature they made her feel. Like yes Dawny Xander totally sees you as a woman now that you wear Coco Mademoiselle Chanel please wipe your mouth you have cookie crumbs all over.
She also used to overspray a lot, thinking it can never be too much since it smells nice. Apparently, spraying Shalimar Guerlain all over your clothes because the top notes are nice and fruity is not a good idea. Poor Dawn ended up smelling like an ashtray for the next month. But it's a mistake every pre-teen has to make. Both Joyce and Buffy never let it go though and kept bringing it up every single time Dawn mentioned perfume around them.
Joyce
The way Joyce wore perfumes really depended on her mood. Her perfumes were really intense, so she would always wear them when she felt great to enhance her confidence. She really forgot how much she loved them when she was going through the stress of divorce. Beauty wasn't the first thing on her mind at that time, let alone perfume. She then rediscovered her love for them when she was at her worst and were trying anything to keep it together. It turned out that wearing perfume activated her "I'm so cool" reflexes and made her feel better about herself, even if just a bit, and she started wearing it more often when feeling sad as well.
Buffy never shared her taste in fragrances. Whenever they would all shop together and Joyce handed her a blotter with a perfume she liked sprayed on it, she would scrunch up her nose and complain about it smelling like an old lady. Well, she wasn't entirely wrong. But it's not Joyce's fault these old ladies have great taste! She really loved her classic spicy and woody stuff from Estée Lauder. Her signature one was definitely Knowing. Buffy remembers hugging her and smelling cardamon and sandalwood and feeling so so warm.
Joyce only had 2 or 3 bottles, but loved all of them. Great quality but not too expensive. She really prefered spoiling her little girls with costly stuff than spending money on herself.
Cordelia
Similarly to Buffy, in her teens she was a fan of sweet fragrances, but her collection was way bigger and more expensive than Buffy's. Her vanity could very well be mistaken for a (messy) museum with how much stuff was on it. And you could definitely find barely touched bottles of Gucci and Dior somewhere between her make-up.
With age, her preference switched to muskier fragrances (and stopped buying so many because bills) but she forever stayed a Carolina Herrera girl! Yes, basic. Whatever, who cares. They're popular for a reason! The absolute GRIP 212 sexy had on her when she was 16. She only stopped using and switched to other stuff when she physically couldn't handle smelling like cotton candy for another few months. She still has a soft spot for it though. As an adult, she began using Carolina (i mean the perfume, not just the brand) just as religiously. Was heartbroken when it was discontinued and kept looking for an exact copy ever since. She made the whole office smell like strawberry candy and it would always make Wesley hungry.
Also#1, she definitely spends all her money on clothes, perfume and make-up. Bills can wait. Also#2, she loves putting on body lotions after showering. She's a body lotion girl. Putting on a body lotion is one of the only constants in her life and keeps her sane.
Willow
She used to think cool perfume was for cool girls, and she kinda... wasn't one. So she never got into all that popular girl perfume scene. But she loved shower gels and shampoo with heavy fragrances, especially the ones smelling of linen and freshness, so her hair always smelled like lemons, green apple and clean laundry.
In college, when she gained more confidence and started practicing witchcraft more, she began using wax-based dry perfumes. Spicy fresh herbal fragrances are really soothing for her. Dry perfumes aren't intense, and you can't really feel them unless you're standing really close to the person wearing one, but that's pretty much what she's going for. She likes to chant good luck spells above it before applying, and it's comforting. She and Tara always use the same ones too, and they love knowing they're always carrying a part of each other with them.
Tara
She was the one to introduce Willow to wax-based perfumes! She likes anything vegan and eco-friendly and that's how she found them herself. It's important for her to know where her cosmetics come from, how they're made, etc. So dry perfume was the perfect solution.
Her tastes aling with Willow's almost perfectly, but she likes her fragrances a bit more bitter and herbal than fresh. She looooves it when she can see small leftover pieces of herbs in the wax. But, to be fair, she mostly smells like her insence rather than any perfume at all.
Willow gave her a beautiful pendant which was actually a perfume diffuser for her birthday. You could open it and put some dry perfume inside so it would leave a nice trail of scent after you. She loved it so much and cried a little when she ultimately lost it (because she refused to take it off ever).
Spike
Even though France is mostly known as The country of perfume, England was the place where many now-famous brands were established and where many well-known perfume designers studied chemistry. In 19th century perfume became accessible to a wide range of people and soon became almost a necessity. I imagine a person as romantic as William would use some at least for outings. But I don't think it's in his nature to go crazy about perfume and find some unusual scents. Lavender was really popular at that time and citrus fragrances have always been a go-to for masculine perfume, so he probably just had a bottle of something bergamot-ish and floral-ish he would wear when he needed to be extra fancy.
Spike, however, doesn't wear perfume at all. He doesn't have money and he doesn't have a place to store it, and he permanently smells like dry blood anyway.
Well, he's tried wearing it after becoming a vampire. Specifically, after falling for Buffy. He got himself a bottle of whatever at the same place he got that awful blue Versace sweater. He really had no idea what was trendy or good nowadays but he really needed to show he's changed or something. And he saw a pretty bottle of Blonde Versace and thought, he's blond so it should be good.
It wasn't good. His vampire sense of smell is way better than human's so he hated it the second he put it on but went along with it because, maybe, it's OK when you have a regular human's sense of smell? It's expensive so it has to be good for humans, right? No, it doesn't. The night he wore it, Buffy seemed unusually pensive, untill she finally asked Dawn if she bought that goddamn Shalisomething perfume again or if she just forgot to shower. Spike threw that bottle away that very same night.
Giles
He has exactly 2 bottles laying around and he wants to use them but he keeps forgetting every morning.
One was given to him as a corporate gift from the council. It was a unisex perfume, and a very basic one too, so it was literally just given to everyone. It was Rondo by Alen Mak and it was... okay. Giles only wore it to formal events anyway so it wasn't that big of a deal that it was genetic. He couldn't tell, but it ended up smelling really good on his skin specifically. He even got a few compliments for it!
The second one he got himself. Remember when he was preparing to ask Jenny out? He really wanted to impress her and he kept scolding himself in his mind for acting like a stupid teenage boy but he still went to the store to pick out a perfume he'd be sure was actually good. He spent so much time trying to find something good because all of the male perfumes are so similar yet completely different, and it definitely gave him a headache. But he managed to find something that stood out, and it was Acier Aluminium Creed. It's just a perfect mix of amber and fruit and it doesn't have that deodorant-like smell to it. It's warm and refined and not too intense, just like he wanted. He put it on for their game date and Jenny complimented it. After that he wore it every day until. Yk. He still wears that perfume for special occasions but anything that even remotely smells like roses makes him flinch.
Even though he keeps forgetting to wear perfume, smells are very important for him and he needs everything around him to have a nice scent, so he has aroma diffuser all over his condo. They're not intense and you can barely sense them but they make the air feel a lot cleaner. He also loves fragrant laundry detergents. When choosing any interior fragrances, he rarely experiments and sticks to clean linen ones.
Jenny
She's a cool weird girl and she loves cool weird girl stuff. That includes weird perfumes! She's mostly about cool looking bottles, she just gets them to put on her shelf and looks at them from time to time. She spent a fortune but got herself the full Salvador Dali collection but her favorite remains Red Door by Elizabeth Arden. She has no idea what most of them smell like, she got them for the vibes.
Not to say she doesn't use perfume on herself! Collecting bottles is just a quirk of hers but she still likes to smell nice. Her collection of actually usable perfumes is not too big but there certainly are a few for daily wear and a few for going out. She does prefer fragrances on the more unusual side but, working at school, there isn't much space for experimenting, so she mostly chooses ones with blue and purple flower notes. One of her favorites, Liz Claiborne, wasn't bought for it's scent at first, actually! She got it because it looked cool. But then she tried it on herself and realised it smelled like eating fruit in the flower field. It was pobably exactly what she needed at that time, and she instantly fell in love with it, so it instantly became her signature scent.
The one she uses the most for events is Dalini Anucci. It's a bit straightforward for her liking but it's heavier and more intense than most other perfumes she has but still very pleasant.
Buffy is totally a sheltie!! Look at that face!! Not only are they literal lookalikes but they're also very similar in character. Shelties are so so active and so so smart, they love friends they love family they're the opposite of phlegmatic!! They're very curious and they're not exactly looking for trouble but you know. They'll bite if/when they have to. Also, being a shepherd, being a leader is literally in their blood and if you don't listen to them they will show you how dissatisfied they are by barking SO loud.
Cordelia
Cordelia is a rough collie! Specifically this ↑ color. She and Buffy are basically the same, when you think about it. Which makes sense as they are foils of each other. So it would make sense for Cordeliadog to be pretty much exactly the same as Buffydog (her name would be Ruffy btw) but sized up. Also! Collie is the breed of a dog who was [one of] the first dog to play a main character in a movie ("Rescued by Rover") so I think it's a nice tribute to Cordi being an actress. Oh how I love you Cordelia
Spike
That's another lookalike in my opinion. Look at that jawline!! Doberman pinschers have the reputation of fearsome aggressive creatures for a reason (kinda). They're THE loyal dogs. They take ZERO shit when it comes to protecting their person and they will do anything they can to keep said person safe. But guarding aside, with their family they're very gentle and goofy and loving and get along with kids! Just please don't touch The Person if you don't want your head bitten off.
I think Spike is specifically a white doberman, even though it's not recognized as The breed color. I think it's neat that they can get sunburnt in the context of Spike being a vampire. Also Spike and Pinscher sound very similar to me. And I think he has his tail cropped and ears docked.
Giles
Norfolk terriers are probably the calmest of all Terrier breeds. They don't think as much of themselves as other terriers but still can show their character. They're naturally smart and love to work. And by "love" I mean they're OBSESSED with whatever they enjoy doing and there's a high chance they'll forget where they are and who they're with if they find something interesting.
Normally they're not yappy and won't bark for no reason but they can be really really loud if they don't like something.
Additionally, they are very patient with kids and get along with them very well.
Willow
The silliest American Cocker Spaniel! They're fun to be around, they're so gentle and goofy. Very smart and curious creatures, they learn new things with ease but they can be a bit childish and naive at times. Also can be stubborn and get carried away but they're very lovable nevertheless.
Tara
A beautiful Clumber Spaniel with gorgeous downturned eyes. They're the calmest and the softest dogs! Very big and perfect for snuggles. You'd think they're way more popular than they actually are. They have a very gentle demeanor, express no interest in dominating and being a leader, and are very patient and loving and peaceful. But it's also kinda hard to gain their trust - they're very cautious around strangers. They won't be agressive towards you if they don't like you, they'll just leave.
Oz
No, he's not an Irish wolfhound because he's a werewolf, it's just a coincidence. The real reason is that Irish wolfhounds are probably the most phlegmatic dogs ever. Sure, they can get agressive if you attack their person or something like that, but generally? They're just chill. They barely speak and they're just... there... Scarily quiet creatures full of love... Also very smart, well-behaved and that leader instinct thing shepherds have. Kinda just stay away from the drama. But if you hurt them, it's PERSONAL. They can and will throw a tantrum if you did something (in their point of view) unjust. But just don't do that so they'll be your barely emotional fluffy blob of love forever, OK?

As in what perfume they remind me of/smell like, not what they would wear. Check tags for characters included
Waterboy
Obviously, he smells like water. You know that smell, fresh and clean and airy, but not exactly petrichor. Well, that's what you notice at first.
But then you catch other, less pleasant notes, synthetic, heavy, almost dark - the smell of sweat (he's an anxious guy after all!) and his damp suit.
Parasite by Moth and Rabbit is a perfect comparison! Aldehydic, but not quite; fresh, yet metallic. Some may not understand it but those who love it really see a story.
Sonar
I could go the easy way and say Bat by Zoologist but it wouldn't do Sonar justice. He doesn't smell like piss!
Well.
He doesn't smell like just piss?
He loves clubbing and coke, he wouldn't smell like fresh laundry. I think he'd rather smell like fur and leather and, well, coke. Depending on the timeline, the coke smell is more or less noticable.
And what I'm talking about is Red for filth by Alaska thunderfuck. As one of the reviews put it, "this is all leather and latex and a bad hook up", and I think it's beautiful. Very sexy, very deep, so dirty it gives you a headache. Maybe you'll get tired of it after a while but you can't deny it's addictiveness.
Prism
I'll just say it right away, she's Neon by Criminal elements. When you walk into a room wearing it, all attention is on YOU. You are the moment, you are the icon. There's nobody else like you. Maybe someone doesn't like you, but how is it your problem?
Such a fun and bright fragrance, it starts with almost candy-like citrus notes and warms down to sexy, boozy notes. Smells like leaving a nightclub after getting bought a cocktail by some random guy you're gonna ghost just to go get high at another one.
Flambae
He just constantly smells like smoke. Or coal, depending on when was the last time he set something on fire. There's maybe some sweat smell going on as well but it's not as prominent, whether it's because he showers just enough or the smell of burning covers it for the most part.
If you're a freak and want to smell Flambae, get After burn by Veneno parfums. You're welcome.
Coupé
Hearts silver by KKW fragrance. Somehow many people don't like it? I find it beautiful though. It's so interesting and unusual. Generally masculine notes of metal and moss and leather are combined resulting in a very feminine and elegant fragrance. It has an edge to it, it's strong but at the same time it's floral and fresh with rose water and pear blossom notes.
Now this one is about what perfume the characters remind me of! But remember this is just my vision and it's not that serious 💔
Part 1 aka What They Would Wear
Curly
Curly reminds me a lot of French Lover by Frederic Malle. At its core, it's your usual male fragrance - Woody notes, pepper, vetiver and musk. And it's not bad at all! It smells nice but... that's pretty much it? The price, the packaging, the notes make you expect so much more but in reality it's just a generic scent that most people would like but it would hardly ever become someone's favorite. It's made to please everyone, nothing more.
Anya
Not biased at all. For me, Anya is Annacamento by Toskovat'. It's a complex fragrance and it makes you THINK. It has both a great story and a great smell - it starts off as citrusy, later becomes sweet and almost gourmand, and finishes with oak notes, making it a cozy summer fragrance that makes you feel like home. You don't have to LOVE it but if you HATE it... I have questions but I don't wanna ask them.
Unfortunately, every single perfume by Toskovat' is greatly misunderstood. People see unusual notes and try it for the fun of it and get dissapointed when it doesn't smell like their usual Moschino Cheap&Chick. This one should never be seen just for one thing in it's composition. It's a story that you failed to understand.
Daisuke
When I think of Daisuke, I think of chocolate candy with orange bits, and it's exactly Amour De Cacao by Comptoir Sud Pacifique. It's very open, it doesn't have a weird bitter note hidden under all this sweetness, it's exactly what it says to be - orange and chocolate. It's so sweet and cozy and warm, so easy to love. It could be too saccharine or too straightforward to some but man let people have fun!
Swansea
Swansea to me feels a lot like Tiger by Zoologist. It's not for everyone but it doesn't try to appeal to the masses. It's woody, aromatic, very masculine and could be very harsh to some. It does have it's sweeter notes but it won't show them. Surprisingly, there isn't a drop of boozy stuff in it.
Jimmy
Well. This one is very personal but hear me out. Baccarat Rouge 540. When I first tried it myself, it gave me the WORST headache in my life. Searching for it's notes online, I couldn't imagine people liking it, let alone LOVING it but. There I was, looking at probably the most mixed reviews ever.
It's definitely very specific. It's rare to see people actually enjoying it, most (like me) just don't get how it's appealing in any shape or form. But those who enjoy don't just like it, they get OBSESSED with it. And I honestly respect those who go "yeah this thing smells like literal shit but I love it so much I want to shower in it" and not try to gaslight everyone (including themselves) by saying it's just a unique floral composition. I am incredible biased about this one. And I'm also incredibly impressed by those who understand the complexity of it all.
Aka my fav thing to do. Also worth mentioning, it's what I think they would wear, not what they remind me of 💔
Part 2 aka What They Remind Me Of
Curly
Curly definitely wears perfume if he doesn't forget to put it on. He doesn't think it's that important and he doesn't love it, it's just a thing he does because everyone else seems to do it. And it makes him feel fancy. However, he's not willing to spend too much on something he doesn't even know the name of. He bought a bottle of Lacoste L.12.12 White while shopping for gym clothes once and has been using it ever since. It doesn't last on him for too long though, so most of the time he just smells like his shampoo or deodorant.
Anya
Anya likes perfume! Not super into niche stuff and definitely doesn't buy ultra expensive ones but has Olympéa, Good Girl and La Vie Est Belle in her collection and wears them on special occasions. For everyday use she preferes body mists with soft, floral, powdery fragrances. They may not last as long but they still make her feel nice. She would want to get into niche perfumes but it's too time (and money) consuming.
Daisuke
Has the biggest collection out of everyone on this list but in reality doesn't know shit about perfumes. He just buys whatever smells the sweetest and looks the shiniest which leads to him having a weird amount of female fragrances. It's not his problem they don't make good stuff for men!
He definitely has everything by Anna Sui because, hello, have you seen the bottles? And it makes him smell like fruit too! Mellow Yellow is, like, so totally awesome.
Swansea
Doesn't like perfume. Doesn't understand why he needs to wear it. Why would you want to smell musky on purpose? And pay for it too? He could just stop showering for a week and get the same result- no? It still doesn't make any sense. But when your wife tells you to wear it for something special, you have no choice but to comply. Especially since it's your kids who gave you this, allegedly expensive but it smells like gasoline and sweat, perfume.
The perfume in question is Fahrenheit by Dior and it actually was expensive, which is the second reason why Swansea doesn't wear it often and smells like car service station at best. He probably has some more gifted perfume bottles but frankly he forgot about them the moment he put them on the shelf.
Jimmy
Doesn't wear perfume at all, doesn't have a single bottle. He could be too insecure in his masculinity to do it. He could also not want to waste money on something that stupid. Yet somehow he manages to overdo his deodorant, which is Axe Instinct by the way, so bad that it feels like it's impossible to get that smell off his clothes at this point. And this one is NOT a crowd pleaser.
Because I'm feeling ill about them. Please keep in mind those are just headcanons and if they don't align with how you view the characters idk what to tell you
Curly
Curly is not the biggest coffee person but he doesn't mind it. He makes it in the morning, not because he necessarily enjoys it, but because it's pretty much a habit and breakfast without it feels incomplete. He also makes it if he has to work late at night, for obvious reasons. It's nothing special, just a black coffee made with good quality beans and some sugar, maybe a creamer if he's feeling like it. If he's out with friends, he may get a Latte but normally he won't go out of his way to get it.
Anya
She wouldn't say coffee is her all-time favorite drink, I see her more as a tea person. Nevertheless, she likes it from time to time. If her friends are getting it too, she'd take a Latte or a Cappuccino, maybe with some funky topping (salted caramel is her favorite), she can't really tell the difference between the two.
She tried her best to like black coffee to get her through all-nighters but she hated the bitterness. If she needs caffeine, she'd rather go for an energy drink or coffee with ungodly amount of cream. She loves the smell of it though and keeps a small bowl of coffee beans in her room.
Daisuke
Now THAT'S the person everyone makes fun of for super long and weird coffee orders. Can they even be considered coffee at this point? Uuuhhhh yeah can he get a grande pink matcha raf coffee with extra cream, almond milk, strawberry topping, coconut flakes and whipped cream on top? Yes, of course he will need a sugar packet.
Unfortunately his preference for creamy coffee doesn't align with his lactose intolerance.
Swansea
His coffee preferences are a bit like Curly's, except he actually does like the taste but can't afford good beans so he just makes instant coffee every morning. He's pretty much content with it, he doesn't really know to make any other coffee anyway. Also doesn't understand any coffee other than black, when his kids try to make him taste a latte he acts as if they said something SO outrageous, and nobody really knows why he hates it so much. Most likely he doesn't know it himself as well.
Jimmy
He acts as if he knows everything about good coffee and no coffeeshop can make good americano, that's why he doesn't go there. In reality, just like Swansea, he can't really afford it, or just doesn't want to spend money on it. So he sticks to cheap instant coffee packets at least 3 times a days and pretends it's the best thing in the world. He probably spends on it more than he would spend on normal quality coffee beans but oh well.
