"Painting relates to both art and life. . . . I try to act in that gap between the two." —Robert Rauschenberg, born on this day in 1925.

Hola friend! have any new Malcolm headcanon's?

hello! 

his mom gets married when he’s 5 to McKenzie, a professor of Art History at G.W. and he adores her 

he was hesitant at first, but he was sold when she killed a spider for him 

Malcolm’s grandfather Walter who he is close to is clear sighted 

he attends a Quaker school with the kids of politicians and diplomats during the school year 

when the spiders get really bad his mom sleeps in his room with him for a few days and then they make the decision that he should start going to Camp 

he’s asexual

Malcolm headcanons

his last name is Bailey (inside joke w/ Annabeth: “you’re the A to my B and I’m the B to your C”) 

his mom, Sarah, is a curator for the Smithsonian and met Athena while on an archeological dig in South America the summer after college 

he went to Camp when he was 11

he’s really close to his grandfather Walter 

his mom has met Annabeth and absolutely adores her and gives her an open invitation to visit them in D.C. anytime 

he’s a major history nerd but his real passion is city planning and when they’re kids him and Annabeth makes plans for the cities they will build together
