🍑 — doesn’t like apples / smoothies, prefers spearmint ( BUT WILL DEVOUR A BOX OF JUNIOR MINTS ), and loves miss patsy cline.
🍑 — rarely sees anything higher than a $10 bill in cash; he stands adamant in the belief that it should be a $25 bill instead of a $20.
🍑 — never actually had a birthday cake as a kid [ ice cream connoisseur origin story ] .. and keeps that tradition in adulthood.
scents. tastes. decor. he loves ‘em. tearing them apart. being creative with ‘em. carving. making wine. the SEEDS. he’s constantly trying to perfect his pumpkin flavors on the ice cream truck. ( if you make it a game .. you’ll find all the pumpkin visuals in his lil movies. ) he spent a long time avoiding farm work thru the years but he did work on a number of seasonal pumpkin patches. and eventually makes his own lil patch when he settles. ( the only other thing he plants is watermelon. but those taste better stolen. )
🍑 — if you honk the horn .025 seconds before / after the light turns green, gus will absolutely be staying put .
🍑 — picture it ( because there can’t be actual photo evidence ) .. gus wearing a tacky hawaiian shirt [ two in rotation, at most ] and the oldest and rattiest pair of jeans, topped with a straw hat every night like a uniform when he’s a bartender at some hole in the wall.
🍑 — MILK GUY . the quintessential drink with every meal, — he took that to heart. gus drinks an insane amount of milk. straight out the gallon, too. he’s dressed up as the milk man more than once on HALLOWEEN ( with real props! bc ofcourse he can’t be going into withdrawals ). sort of A Thing to be milk drinkers across media ( including ‘em gotmilk? ads ). sometimes if he’s blowing into a steaming cup, ⸻ yupyouguessedit ! MILK. s’only way he stomachs coffee .. and god forbid you give him hot chocolate.
( drinkroll : [tap]water, milk[shake], pepsi, mountain dew, beer [ regular & root ], wine, and orange gatorade * )
* GUS IS COLORBLIND. THAT’S PROBABLY NOT ORANGE.
🍑 — keeping in mind that he is completely colorblind .. gus Loves cotton candy, which he unironically calls LIL CLOUDS because he never grew outta the belief that he’s eating actual little baby clouds.
🍑 — BIG FAN OF ELVIS. impersonator level.
