For the asks, could you do Marajanon?
Gives nose/forehead kisses:
Aja. She’s the most physically affectionate and forward with giving said affection.
Gets jealous the most:
None. They’re all really open about communicating with each other and also respect that they have friendships outside of their relationship too.
Takes care of on sick days:
Shannon is the most responsible. Mary will just pretend that she’s totally not sick so she can continue whatever it is she’s doing (and has to be gently prodded into resting). Aja doesn’t believe she can get sick like humans do, so goes into denial about it when she does get sick.
Shannon was always taught to listen to what her body needs and to take care of herself, and she imparts this wisdom to Mary and Aja, who slowly learn how to take care of themselves better (and each other). Shannon’s also really good at making chicken noodle soup.
Off-topic, but Shannon’s also one of the few people Jim will cook with, as she actually knows what she’s doing.
Drags the other person out into the water on beach day:
Mary. Sunbathing is nice and all that, but she is The Queen of Splash Fights and her girlfriends must learn and accept that truth.
Brings the other lunch at work:
Every day, they each bring a food/dish and share them between themselves.
Mary’s tend to be the healthiest and simplest. Veggies with ranch dip, chips, that kind of snacky thing.
Shannon are the most experimental. She likes trying out different cuisines and dishes, especially after she finds an old recipe book of her grandmother’s.
For a while, Aja’s contributions confuse Mary and Shannon greatly, as they all seem to be exact replications of dishes from the 1950s/1960s. Though, once Aja explains about the Blanks, they have an ‘aha’ moment.
Tries to start role-playing in bed:
The first time the three of them have a sleepover, Shannon enthusiastically brings out her Dungeons & Dragons stuff. She easily gets Aja hooked on the role-playing game, but it takes a little longer for Mary (who has to be influenced, in part, by Aja’s enthusiasm to try the ‘nerdy’ game).
They end up staying up all night playing through their first campaign, crash on some nearby couches in Mary’s basement, and start playing again in the morning.
Embarrassingly drunk dancer:
They don’t get drunk, but they are known to shamelessly take over the dance floor at every opportunity.
Firmly believes in couples costumes:
Mary. She takes charge in planning all their costumes, as it allows her to express her love of fashion.
Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas:
Mary always purchases things she knows her girlfriends will love. She observes extensively and then always plans out what she’s getting to maximize their happiness.
Shannon leans toward doing homemade gifts. She loves to make things and then sharing them with those she cares about the most. Each year she’ll pick something (ceramic mugs, knitted hats.. she’s talented across many mediums), be careful to make it in secret, and then happily reveal it when gifts are exchanged.
Aja’s are the most expensive, by virtue of being Akiridion in origin. Technically, the gifts she gives aren’t of much value on her home planet, but on Earth, they’re practically priceless. She gives small trinkets that reflect her girlfriends’ interests, but are combined with her own origin, as a way of connecting them.
Makes the other eat breakfast:
Shannon. She brings morning snacks to school just in case the other two haven’t eaten yet.
Remembers anniversaries:
Mary. She keeps a calendar and always plans extravagant dates for their anniversaries.
Brings up having kids first:
I honestly don’t see them talking about it? They see it as a far off thing that they’ll get to (maybe) when they want to. Right now, they just want to live their lives.
Kills the bugs:
Mary doesn’t want to touch them.
Shannon gently picks them up and puts them outside.
Aja gets excited and observes them, bc she really likes bugs (and all strange creatures).
First to define them as a couple:
Mary, as she tends to be quick in announcing her relationships. Although it’s Aja who comes up with ‘marajanon’ as their relationship name. Shannon is the shyest about these things, and so gets really self-conscious when the other two’s enthusiasm gets a little out of hand. Thus, they spend their first day as an official relationship just hanging out together, until Shannon’s ready to be more public.
Who hides their guilty pleasures longer:
Shannon has the hardest time opening up. She was also closeted for the longest time of the three and still isn’t completely comfortable being Out. It takes her a while to share her interests with Mary and Aja, but she slowly does. The first time Shannon plays her guitar and sings for them is a really big moment.
*unrelated, but Shannon also becomes friends with Krel when she takes him to the music store to get his own guitar (as she would, in fact, like hers back). They bond over being music buddies.
Snorts while laughing:
Aja. Out of the three of them, she has the most infectious laugh.
