Bolia infomercials and NightWatch oven and trombone
ooc: wait hold up, imma just go ahead and do the entire list because cute au!Bolia / Nightwatch is real.
Who cries when someone dies in a movie?
Thalia absolutely, though if it’s been an engaging movie with captivating characters then Bo would get swept up in the emotions too. Both Watcher and Nightingale are better at masking that kind of thing.
Who wears the ugly holiday garb?
Bo would wear one of those ugly, light up sweaters and you’ll have to fight me to change my mind. Nightingale would absolutely carry some mistletoe around if only to wind the likes of Pitch up.
Who pays for the meals?
It would become a battle of will, with both parties wanting to pay for different reasons. Usually whoever gets there first.
Who slams the oven door and who plays the trombone?
Bo would do the first, mostly out of eagerness to get the job of cooking done and back to whatever theory he’s working on now. Neither of them would play the trombone.
Who brings home stray animals?
In an interesting case of switching sides; Thalia & Watcher. Both are similar in their kind natured need to help people. Bo would always put together a cute little temporary home for them. Nightingale would check the animal didn’t need healing before making Watcher take it somewhere safe.
Who leaves the bathroom door open?
Neither of them were raised in a barn. They have good manners.
Who tells the ‘dad jokes?’
Thalia steals them from Talon, Watcher steals them from Pitch. The irony of the situation is completely lost on all parties.
Who wants kids more?
By age elimination alone it would be Thalia, though with the passing down of powers between the family she’s always been nervous when thinking about it.
Who travels more?
Perhaps not right now but there’s no doubt Watcher has the capability to join the Guild and go off on adventures saving the world.
Who spends more cash?
Both are sensible enough to never overspend but both also have the tendency to get excited when they see something they truly love or geek out over. It’s a 50/50 split.
Who buys the things in infomercials?
Watcher / Bo will buy anything from infomercials that use Caspian or other well known heroes as ‘spokesmen’ even if they’ve stolen the footage.
Who draws in the dust on their cars?
100% believe this to be a Bo thing to do.
Who starts the snowball fights?
Thalia / Nightingale. Every time. The giggling after she pelts you in the face with one is only cute enough to buy a second of mercy.
Who throws away the directions to things?
Bo would never intentionally throw things away but he’s smart enough to usually figure out a better way to do them anyway. Thalia stands in the corner in horror as a religious follower of all the rules.
Who puts up holiday decor?
They both do together with the same level of enthusiasm.
Who is more likely to forget to bathe?
Neither, again…they weren’t raised in a barn.
Who gets more obsessed about things?
Bo / Watcher, obviously. It’s pretty much part of his superpower.
Who sings in the shower more often?
Probably Thalia, it’s the cute Disney princess kind of thing she’d do.
Send me a ship and I’ll do the same for you because going through the list is fun and yay au!ships.

💭 for Watcher!
Nightingale underestimates Watcher in the same way many criminals and villains underestimate her. He’s young but he’s not overtly reckless, he plans and thinks things through with such detail she can’t help but be impressed. He has no gifts that either of them are aware of at the moment and that worries her. Whilst she’s not completely mothering or over protective, Nightingale does find herself taking things slower whenever they join up for patrol. Just in case.
The fact Watcher seems to know everything about everyone, right down to the slight variation in technique from one evening to the next, freaks her out only slightly. He’s calmed down much more compared to early runs when he would spend a lot of time talking about Spectrum, there are times when she feels guilty that she can’t be his one way ticket to meeting his hero but she also knows Spectrum would be more than impressed with the young hero.
9 for the OTP questions with uhhhh any combo of our characters?
9: Which one drives the car and which one gives them directions?
They’ll switch. Thalia would start by giving directions to Bo but the better combination would ultimately be Bo giving thought out directions, probably better than google maps could suggest, would get them to their destination faster.
