Who knows why Victoria had fallen in love with him. She just knows that she did and she was committed. Chris was hers forever and giving up on that wasn't something that Victoria would ever be prepared to do.
Headcanons under the cut.
Victoria always has a knife on her somewhere and Chris is the only one who knows where they are, he'll always know where they are at any point, not needing her to tell him, just knowing by the way she holds herself
Victoria learned how to cook as a child and, though she doesn't really enjoy it, she's good at it
Victoria was a dinosaur kid and Chris had an obsession with bugs
Chris feels safest when he has Victoria's hand in his
Victoria feels safest when she has a knife in her hand
Chris is the big spoon and Victoria is the little spoon, though the two of them don't really enjoy a little spoon and big spoon thing, they usually just sleep back to back
Both of them really enjoy warm weather and love the beach and summer. They are considering getting a beach house because of the amount of time they spend at the beach
They both enjoy travelling and being around new cultures and places. being in a new place is absolutely thrilling for both of them and Chris loves to get to know the people in new towns while Victoria enjoys being able to set up and organize their new home each time
Victoria and I had a bit of a journey. I started disliking her because I was a teenager watching the show and she was one of the baddies. When I really got into Petopher, I started to like her because she was a cool side character in the fics I read. But then I started to create content, and I... started to resent her.
Thing is, I’ve been in fandom for a decade, so I’ve been through the “they get between my ship so I HATE THEM!” thing and it wasn’t impressive at all. I realized what was happening really quick and stopped myself, because I’m not sixteen anymore and I like to think I’ve grown up a bit, xD So I thought in deep about the character and decided that everything pointed to the fact that Chris had really loved her, so I would never write their relationship any other way. With time, I started to appreciate her as a character, even if I disagree with... a lot of her choices. But she has done nothing that Peter and/or Chris haven’t done first, so that isn’t a valid argument.
At this point, she’s one of my favorite characters because she’s a cool, ruthless badass and deserves my respect. I usually make her a bit less specist, though, because she gets sooooo nazi sometimes. So do Chris. And Allison. All hunters are a bit nazi and I have to tone them down to normal bigotry so I can make them grow to be non-horrible people, but that’s part of the course.
All the people I ship romantically with this character:
Chris, of course, and Peter. Sometimes both of them at the same time. I’ve read some Victoria/Melissa and it was good and all but I’m not that excited about it. She’s a hard character to ship because she could and would destroy all the other characters.
My non-romantic OTP for this character:
Allison and Peter. Because I love family dynamics and because Peter and Victoria are similar enough to work well together or kill each other!
My unpopular opinion about this character:
I don’t know if there is any popular opinions about her, to be honest. I believe that Allison and her say some misogonistic things and that the Argent’s matriarchy is some bullshit that they pulled off their ass for plot convinience and “feminist” points, if that counts.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:
I wish she had some more development and we’ve seen her be more of a mother to Allison. That and been Peter’s friend. I’ve said this before but Chris would die if those two become besties.
my OTP:
Christoria, I think. I love Petopheria, but I don’t belive in it the same way I believe in Petopher or Christoria: it’s a fun idea to play with, but it doesn’t ring as true.
my cross over ship:
I’ve been thinking about it for a while... and I can’t think in anyone. Victoria is picky, she wouldn’t give the time of the day to most people, xD
a headcanon fact:
Allison used to pull her hair when she was just born, and Victoria, who is nothing if not pragmatic, went from pretty long hair to her signature haircut. Have I said that she’s ruthless? Because it goes beyond hunting.
This got looooooong so apologies to mobile users if read more things don’t work anymore.
Who’s more dominant: Obviously Victoria.
Who’s the cuddler: Chris has no shame; he’s 1000% an open, proud cuddler. Victoria is also a cuddler except she’ll probably give you a death glare if you accuse her of it. But Chris knows. And he’s smug about it. And her daughter knows too because family cuddle time is very important. Unfortunately for Victoria, family cuddle time also includes Chip and Mr Snuggles. We need to rename that damn cat. :’)
Who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Chris is happy to be either so I like to think they’ll switch it up sometimes, but he definitely mostly enjoys being the little spoon and Victoria seems to enjoy being big spoon so it’s a win/win. Again, Chris has no shame. Being little spoon is awesome.
What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: It’s definitely family time lbr. It doesn’t matter what they’re doing; just spending time together as a family is gonna be the best thing, whether they’re bowling, going for ice cream, going ice skating, taking the dog to the park. Anything. Spending time with their baby girl and watching her grow and learn and become the person she’s meant to be is their absolute favourite.
Who uses all the hot water: I mean they probably use it together so it doesn’t matter.
Most trivial thing they fight over: Lbr they bicker a lot over the most stupid things but fights don’t usually last long because Chris is very much a pushover. He’d rather just stay quiet and let her win and just quietly try to escape and ignore the issue ... which is probably really annoying ... so it probably causes more of a fight. I never said he was perfect. :’)
Who does most of the cleaning: It’ll just be whoever’s home more, but I feel like during the ‘canon s1/2’ era it’s mostly Victoria given the fact he’s out most of the time with his hunter squad or Kate.
What has a season pass on their dvr/Who controls the netflix queue: Chris doesn’t have a whole lot of time for getting into TV shows. Spending hours just sitting there doing nothing other than staring at a screen isn’t really his pace, cause he hates wasting time like that. He’ll only do it if it’s family time and he’s hanging out with his wife, daughter or sister, but he gets too restless. With that in mind, I’d say the dvr / netflix / whatever they have is probably under Allison’s control 90% of the time. Unless Victoria is secretly into trash TV while she has the house to herself in the daytime, in which case her husband is gonna laugh.
Who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Chris will just fix that kinda thing himself, and if he can’t, he probably knows a guy. They have a huge network of hunter cronies. One of them will help him out.
Who leaves their stuff around: Chris is usually tidy by habit but he definitely has a habit of forgetting where he left things. It might just be a glass he leaves on the coffee table, or boots by the couch, or gun parts on the kitchen counter. I doubt his wife is very happy about it. Sorry honey. :/
Who remembers to buy the milk: Chris will remember if he’s texted about it while he’s out. If that counts. But lbr it’s Victoria who remembers everything like that.
Who remembers anniversaries: Neither of them will ever forget big things like anniversaries / birthdays / etc. They’re both ready every anniversary with gifts and a free day to enjoy some romance. ;)))
Who cooks normally: Victoria is the better cook, hands down. Chris ‘helps’. And by ‘helps’ I mean Chris can wash the ingredients for salad and pour the wine, and maybe hand Victoria things like a spoon or some seasoning or even a butter knife if he’s extra careful. On special days maybe he can even light the stove or like... stir something. He’s a good boy.
How often do they fight: I mentioned it before but it’s more like a lot of bickering about stupid things. The biggest fight would probably be regarding when to train Allison, and that’s gotta come up at least once or twice a year. But like I said, Chris avoids fights. He just won’t engage unless it’s something he really wants to fight for, like waiting another year to train Allison, for example.
What do they do when they’re away from each other: I think they both just get on with it tbh. They’ll text each other throughout the day and call each other cause Chris hates being away and I’m sure she hates when he’s gone too, but they can survive being apart. They’re not children.
Nicknames for each other: Just the usual couple-y pet names like honey; sweetheart; baby; etc. Chris is already a short enough name and Victoria doesn’t strike me as the kinda woman who’d like a silly nickname. Chris would rather just call her something cute and watch her stubbornly try not to smile about it instead.
Who is more likely to pay for dinner: They’re married. They share everything. All the money they have equally belongs to both of them so it doesn’t matter who pays. It’s coming out of the same joint bank account.
Who steals the covers at night: Tbh they snuggle so no one can really steal the covers.
What would they get each other for gifts: Anything and everything. Whatever they’ve seen that the other person has shown an interest in or anything they think the other might like. They know each other better than anyone so gifts are easy but it really depends on the occasion. Chris likes to bring home little things all the time anyway, like some flowers or chocolates or a nice bottle of wine for them to share. She gets at least one little gift per week tbh, and if she goes to the mall she’ll often come home with a nice new jacket for him or a few new shirts. They just bring things for each other as they find them. There doesn’t need to be an occasion for gifts.
Who kissed who first: Victoria kissed him first.
Who made the first move: Depends. Does it count as a first move if he stared at her and forgot how to function every time they were in the same place? He thinks it does. It’s called being charming and attracting her attention. By doing nothing. Other than staring. And forgetting how to speak. If by first move you mean actually doing something, then it was obviously not him. In his defence though, he did marry her so his technique worked in the end.
Who remembers things: I feel like I’ve answered this twice already. Depends on the thing.
Who started the relationship: Chris eventually figured out how to ask her on a date, but she kissed him first, so...... idk it just happened.
Who cusses more: Chris doesn’t really and I’m not sure she does either, so... neither.
What would they do if the other one was hurt: Chris panics and can’t really function. Victoria would worry but she’d be a lot better at keeping calm and doing what needs to be done.
Who is the dirty talker: Lmao I feel like they both are. Chris definitely gets into the dirty talking but Victoria is the dominant one so... it’s a joint effort.
No one is going to convince me that Peter doesn’t despise Jolene for hitting too close to home. You know, with his man (Chris) dumping him to marry some readhead woman (Victoria).
Mit einem Mal schlug sein Herz um ein zehnfaches schneller. Jeder einzelne seiner Muskeln verspannte sich und er hielt den Atem an. Christa kam auf sie zu. Nein, nicht Christa, erinnerte er sich. Historia. Auf ihrem Gesicht strahlte kein sanftes Lächeln mehr und auch ihre engelsgleiche Aura war so gut wie erloschen. So lange war es nicht her, doch als sie sich das erste Mal begegneten, überwältigte ihre Erscheinung ihn so sehr, dass er sich für eine Weile nicht rühren konnte. Sie war gut zu ihm gewesen, als kein anderer es gewesen war. Umso schwerer fiel es ihm nun, zu akzeptieren, dass das alles nur gespielt war. Dass dieses leere, kühle Wesen ihre wahre Persönlichkeit war. Bei allen würde er es glauben. Aber nicht bei ihr.
So, I'm up at 12:20 A.M, throat hurting from walking pneumonia.
I look at Facebook, and who's birthday is it today?
My lovely boyfriend Christien's. This means that not only is he 15 (and celebrating being older than me by a few hundred or so days), it's our one year anniversary!
At this time a year ago, no I did not expect his birthday to lead up to you asking if I wanted to be your girlfriend. But it did, and I couldn't be happier because of it.
We've definitely been put through some struggles, especially with personal life. As I grow up, problems become more serious and I can assume that is the same for him.
But we're still together. God I sound like we're an old married couple, but it's true!
But we both love each other, and we decided to make it work. He's an amazing person overall, and I am so happy to call him my boyfriend. I'm so happy to even call him my friend.
I'm so happy to have even met him, and the thought of never getting the pleasure of doing so is literally bringing tears to my eyes.
He's mine. He's the one I look up to and love so much, even though he can be a /huge/ butt.
I love him.
Happy birthday to an amazing person, and happy anniversary to the two of us.
I'm glad to have you in my life.
