there are very few things duckie loves in this world than good food. or, honestly, food in general. she is a sucker for the stringray buffet and does not get fancy with it. she is truly not fancy. loves a fancy meal up to a point, but when it actually gets into high-class fine dining, she leaves and gets a pizza. has walked out of many a restaurant with $9 sprites and tiny portions. her best memories have almost all been shared over food with friends.
🤲 for a physical health headcanon
it takes a lot of training to compete on an international level in any sport and surfing is no different. for a couple of years, duckie struggled with her body image due to this obsession with her performance. after leaving los angeles, which was very much part of the problem, she very much started to heal (physically as well as mentally) and she’s taken much better care of herself since boarding the ship.
⛈️ for a sadness headcanon
duckie hates admitting when she’s sad to other people. she would rather pretend everything is okay and let herself fall apart when she’s by herself, despite always being willing to be there for others when they’re at their most vulnerable. she very much pretends she has no problems and them crumbles under the pressure at the worst moments. if duckie lets you be around her when she’s sad, you know you’re in the inner circle.
throughout duckie’s entire life, her dreams have been very abstract. she struggles to write down goals or put them into intelligible words because what she dreams of are vibes and happiness. some of her dreams are very contradictory, like freedom and companionship, but they feel right to her, and that’s what really matters to her.
