Gameses for the domesticity meme 💖
ty bestie for catering to my need to talk abt the gameses all the time
big spoon/little spoon: the do NOT touch when they fall asleep and they INSIST on not touching when they HAVE to sleep in the same bed... but they always wake up with dickson's arms around cornelius
favorite non-sexual activity: arguing heisting together. they love the thrill of the heist and also sigh. competing with each other so see who can get to the thing they're trying to steal first. but they work REMARKABLY well together and barely even have to speak when they're out on a job because they just Know each other that well
who uses all the hot water: Richardson and he has no shame about it
most trivial thing they fight over: when you're a couple that fights about everything, everything is trivial. but definitely what their best heist was.
who does most of the cleaning: Dix definitely does, like Corn isn't exactly MESSY and he does try to keep things pretty neat just in general because that's what he does but Dix ENJOYS just. vacuum sweep dust mop cleaning the windows type of spotless housework. also they're a freak who changes the sheets every week without fail
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Cornelius because he's not just gonna sit around and wait for things to fix themselves he has to actually Do something
who steals the blankets: Dickson. he's a priss who pouts if they aren't warm enough.
who leaves their stuff around: surprisingly? it's corn. he's definitely way more put together but he just. leaves things places because he knows he'll get back to them eventually.
who remembers to buy the milk: Cornelius. Dix might be the one who does MOST of the home stuff but like Corn is the only one who bothers to check if they still HAVE milk before they start cooking
who remembers anniversaries: CORNELIUS.... he's such a sap about them too like. he's a romantic at heart because he really does just believe in the healing power of queer love and by god has he been denied of it for SO LONG. like he and dix didnt have ANY of this for 40 fucking years and he is going to make a BIG FUCKING DEAL about it for the rest of eternity
Who cooks normally? Richardson for sure. He enjoys it, and sometimes they ALLOW corn to help because frankly they are a nightmare to work with in the kitchen and so very controlling, but on the rare occasion that corn is permitted to help he's very helpful. mostly with making sure things don't get lost, and cutting things up.
How often do they fight? Literally all the time and about EVERYTHING. no couple has ever fought more oh my god. maybe a better question is when DON'T they fight, to which the answer is when someone's taken the last thing they were fighting about too far, or when someone gets hurt.
What do they do when they’re away from each other? well, they basically spent 40+ years "away" from each other, so they've had a lot of time away
Who is more likely to pay for dinner? it's a competition to see who can flag down the server first and get the bill. there is actual fighting involved sometimes, and more than one instance of storming out of a restaurant. they are banned from over 30 restaurants in Charleston.
Who made the first move? Cornelius- when he was younger he had that certain kind of swagger and confidence that rightfully pissed Dix off, and they definitely didn't say NO but they can't believe he got them to go on a date because they LOST the bet on which one of them would get to [insert thing they were stealing] first. They were planning on WINNING and asking him out anyways, he is devastated by his cringe loss.
Who kissed who first? Dickson, to get back at Corn for being the one to make the first move.
Who cusses more? Richardson hands down. Cornelius doesn't curse that much out of SPITE.
What would they do if the other was hurt? Avoid the other person. Like, they do NOT have healthy ways of interacting with each other when the other person gets hurt at ALL and 50 years of blaseball has proven that. It usually starts with the person who gets hurt self isolating, the other one not knowing how to reach them and deal with it and ends up lashing out in public (usually at practice or a game), them getting into a fight, them going back to their separate homes and being upset and sad for the next several months minimum. this is how it's been for decades. they are ATTEMPTING to change that, there is some success. they're trying to "communicate" and "talk to each other" and "not run away from their feelings" or whatever. it's harder than it looks but by god are they stubborn.
Send me a pairing and I'll do this thing for them!
