♦ for Duke (i think that's his name?, the dude from that one show, who was in the thing, the one i always ask about) and ൠ for whoever is your favorite character from Preacher
(I reblogged this post like right before I went to bed last night because I’m an idiot but YAY THINGS TO ANSWER)
Quirks/Hobbies headcanon for Duke Crocker:
I’m going to start with hobbies. We already know that he plays (or at least wants people to think he does) the ukelele, and plays poker from time to time (something I believe he only really does casually when there’s beer involved, and has probably played strip poker many times in his life). But in general I think he really just likes exploring new hobbies. Whether it’s learning a new language (okay, the fact that he knows Japanese would come in handy for the whole smuggling thing, but tbh he would also want to learn languages just so he can surprise people by whipping out some Arabic or Mandarin), learning a new instrument (Eric has been in two different bands so I choose to believe that Duke, little beknownst to the citizens of Haven, is also musically inclined), or learning a new recipe. And I wouldn’t call it a hobby, seeing as he owns a bar, but he definitely enjoys mixing drinks, and predicting the drinks people will order, etc. And honing any skill that will theoretically impress Audrey, or even just bring a smile to his face is something he’ll do.
Also, not sure if it counts as a quirk, but my boy celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah. With Christmas, it’s less about the religious aspect and more the American cultural practice with the presents and the lights and the myriad of symbols taken from pagan practices. With Hanukkah, it’s more about connecting with his mother and her family’s heritage that he never really got to experience much when he was younger. (He stumbles through some of the traditions for the various holidays, but he’s working on it.)
Random Headcanon for Tulip O’Hare:
At a very young age, she was super into everything stereotypically girly. If it was pink or glittery or had princesses in/on it, it was her jam. Then she got older and started rejecting all the things that society thought she needed to like in order to be feminine enough. She hated being thought of as girly, and would go so far as to say girly shit was stupid, and so were girls who bought into that shit. Then she became an adult and settled somewhere in the middle. She learned that she could reject society’s expectations, while still embracing feminine things, or at least not pushing them aside strictly because they’re considered for girls. She decided she was going to defend a woman’s right to be as feminine as she damn well pleased, or as masculine, or anywhere on that scale. That societally imposed gender roles are some fucked up shit that either force girls into little molds, or push them into rejecting anything perceived as feminine, because to be feminine is to be weak. She learned that she could be whatever and whomever she wanted to be, regardless of anyone’s expectations of her, and that every woman should be shown that their life is their own.
