soon (monday lol) the designs i made will be posted with some hcs so im sorry if i repeat some 😭😭
i think they both have naturally VERY LOUD VOICES like Karen constantly tells them to quiet down and they're like " HUH?? IM NOT YELLING--oh. nvm. "
- this cuz of the thing Karen says of missing telling the boys to shut up. they yap a lot and they yap LOUDLY when they're home
- Davey fights it more i think. like if he's feeling like being annoying he'll talk louder just because fuck you. (it makes Mac laugh too)
- Mac's laugh is also just VERY LOUD while Davey wheezes and starts tearing up
they're a bad influence on Sean(?) like Sean is a bit mischievous by himself but together they're a NIGHTMARE because Mac and Davey will literally do whatever the fuck and Sean is like 'i wanna go too!!'
- they're not allowed to go on missions alone because Shit Will Happen and they frustrate the hell out of Arthur.
- one time Arthur almost had a nervous breakdown trying to get them back home. He'd be dragging one to the horses, be like 'alright, stay here', he leaves to get another, comes back...and whoever was there Is No Longer There (at some point Mac got sober enough he helped with Davey) (Davey said in a very sad drunk voice 'you betrayed me' and Mac's heart broke)
i hc Mac was a little shorter than Arthur
Davey is a little shorter than Mac and a lil thinner too (you'll see that tho)
they brawl. give them 5 bucks and they will beat each other up just for funsies (and the money)
- they used to defend it by saying they're just practicing
- it almost worked.
- folk aren't allowed to egg them on anymore. (looking at you, Jenny)
they understand each other in an almost mystical way no one else understands. they'll be in complete opposite sides on a mission and SOMEHOW know what the other is gonna do and how to help
- usually they go together, though. you'd never see one without the other.
Davey doesn't remember much of Scotland so when he can't sleep he'll ask Mac to tell him stories of the place and their parents
- Davey DOES remember the railway and secretly really likes trains
Davey actually hates cheating (unless Mac is playing, but he only cheats with Mac to fuck with him)
- Mac tells him he's cheating when they play poker if he's losing and Davey gives him a silent glare every time
Mac literally keeps literally everything Davey gives him. He once lost a nice rock and was THIS 🤏 CLOSE to start wrecking shit if he didn't find it
- it was in the back pocket of a pair of pants he forgot he used the day before
- Davey cried laughing at him and Mac got really embarrassed
they argue a lot (like brothers do), but they always end up forgiving each other and patting each other on the back
- (really hard, for the record. don't get a pat in the back from them, they'll split your spine in two)
Davey gets really jealous and Mac teases him about it.
Like, if Mac happens to spend 'too much time' with Bill or someone else (more than 10 minutes HJKASGJASG), Davey will go over and give a NASTY glare while tapping his foot on the floor with arms crossed.
- Mac pretends not to notice at first but usually relents
actually, in general they're a bit too codependent (more Davey than Mac, but they both are)
- when they got separated in blackwater they both panicked REALLY BADLY and Davey had to be dragged away because even as he was bleeding out he was kicking and screaming that he couldn't bear the thought that something was happening to Mac and he couldn't help
- while Mac was getting tortured by the Pinkertons he asked if Davey was okay and his last few words were him apologizing to Davey for fucking up
- Davey's last words were also him apologizing to Mac for being so stupid. the whole ride to Colter he blamed himself for being too reckless and getting them split up
on a happier note i think Davey's love language is words of affection
- but they're very passive-aggresive
Mac's love language is gift giving
- but he won't tell it was him
