For the domesticity meme: Penelope García & Derek Morgan (Fangirl does not live by slash alone)
ahhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YES
big spoon/little spoon: penelope and derek both prefer derek to be the bigger spoon - what they instead argue over is which side of the bed they sleep on - because penelope is totally a right side of the bed sort of girl, but derek insists on sleeping on the side of the bed where the door is, no matter where they are. this causes some tension usually resolved by sex.
favorite non-sexual activity: hanging out with each other!!! they just genuinely enjoy talking and joking and cooking with each other and watching dumb movies and doing the crossword (they are both tragically terrible at it and spencer despairs of them ever getting past tuesday’s puzzle) and basically just spending time with each other. there isn’t anyone else in their lives who makes them as happy or comfortable or makes them laugh as much as the other.
who uses all the hot water: they do, collectively. because of sex.
most trivial thing they fight over: when dudes hit on penelope at bars, derek feels like he should be able to glare menacingly at them. penelope disagrees. only once has a guy ever put a hand on penelope after she told him she wasn’t interested/was seeing someone and she had him in a choke hold faster than derek could even lurch out of his chair, so he knows that she knows that he knows she can take care of herself, he just wants them to know that they have no fucking chance. penelope suggests that it’s pretty clear considering derek’s status as a Ridiculously Attractive Human Being (TM). no one could ever measure up to him. (derek sees this for the derailing that it is, but his girlfriend’s too cute and gets away with it every time.)
who does most of the cleaning: they split the duties - penelope does most of the laundry and straightens the living room and bedroom and derek cleans the kitchen and bathroom - and depending on who cooks, the other cleans the dishes, though they generally end up helping each other out.
what has a season pass on their dvr/who controls the netflix queue: penelopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! who has excellent taste in everything and loves sci fi and fantasy and geekery - and derek can’t be arsed to do more than occasionally tape a game. (he doesn’t really get doctor who, but he likes game of thrones for sure.)
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: derek because he’s big and bad and strong and intimidating looking though when that doesn’t work, penelope bakes the super a pie and delivers it in a low cut dress and generally gets the whole thing resolved in like… a day.
who steals the blankets: penelope, because her feet get cold. derek is a perfect boyfriend though and lets her tuck them between his calves to warm them up.
who leaves their stuff around: derek! who is way too used to being a bachelor. penelope isn’t NEAT by any means, she tends far more towards the ecletic side of decorating, but still - derek needs to pick up his sweaty ass running clothes and put them in the hamper himself because she is certainly not gonna do it.
who remembers to buy the milk: derek! but he also drinks more milk than should humanly be possible.
who remembers anniversaries: they both do, though derek is just well practiced and penelope sets really good computer calendar reminders for herself.
