Some platonic Bigtop Stuff with some odder combos of the characters that I don’t see a lot:
Cesare and Frances brainstorm insane silly knit clothes together, Cesare loves Frances’s sweaters dearly, and wears them whenever he can. She made Cesare and Allen matching sweaters that say ‘Love someone so much you use the last of your chili crisp on an egg for them’ where Allen’s sweater is chili crisp and Cesare’s is an egg. Cesare thinks it’s the best thing.
Tim and Frances are plant nerds. Tim convinced Frances to grow mushrooms in her private botanical gardens and she does so with enthusiasm. Tim loves pickling things, he however doesn’t like pickles. Frances love pickles so I just imagine he and Frances have a relationship where she gives him plants he transforms them into pickles or jams or mead or whatever and then he gives most of it back to her
On the subject of fermentation and pickling, Allen teaches Steve and Tim how to make Korean food because I think the three of them cooking together is very sweet.
Conrad Allen and Tim would go to the gym together because Conrad suggested it might help them with dysphoria, and it does for Tim, doesn’t for Allen but Allen’s just happy to do some stretches and light cardio as Tim and Conrad do weights
Billie and Allen go to concerts together cus I feel like they’d have similar taste in music
Obviously. Conrad is pennys go to babysitter, but I think Penny and Frances just have calm days where they just go to Frances mansion and craft together while Penny’s daughter draws. Cesare also comes sometimes, but those days they craft outside because Frances doesn’t wanna clean up wood scraps from the floor.
I feel like Tim and Conrad would do rock climbing together. Or at least like.. steep hiking. Like they’d go on difficult trails and climb to the top of water falls and be nerdy about cool things they find. Conrad would talk about rocks and what mineral they are and like find cool obsidian and talk for an hour about how native Americans would a spear head with antlers and bones and obsidian and then Tim would find invasive plants or something and just start picking them and yapping about their origins and they’re just so fascinated by each others passion.
Billie is the only one Cesare trusts outside of Allen to do his hair. Billie is very indecisive so I feel like her and Cesare would go try places together and she’d just wait for him to order for her because he’s VERY decisive. They get mistaken for grandfather and grand daughter a lot, but I feel like with Billie, cesare is ok with that. Like with any of the rest of the cast of someone thought he was their grandfather he’d punch them but if someone said that he’s Billie’s grandad then he’s like, ‘yep that’s where she gets her sense of style’.
I admit these are very Tim and Frances heavy but I have favorites ok-
