🍏🍌🍉 for... Mac 👀

🍏 about my f/o’s fears:

I think bro’s #1 fear is not being a good person tbh. Which is absolutely insane, because to this day, I’ve yet to meet another character or human being with the same grace and compassion and resolute moral compass. But when you grow up like we did, not only do you learn you are not good, you’re not good enough. He is so terrified of not being enough for his loved ones, particularly his partner. Luckily, I think we’re both past that fear being crippling. It was definitely was, mutually, for the first year or so. Or three.

That being said, there IS the unfortunate other side of the coin: fear that, once you’ve found the “one” person (there’s never just one) who would never ever voluntarily leave, they will be taken from you. Mac has biiiig abandonment issues (same), but he’s also had a lot of grief and loss in his life consistently, from a early age. His mom dying of cancer when he was 5, his grandpa who became his guardian after passing away when he was barely out of his teens, his dad coming back into his life after two decades only to die of cancer (bro really got nerfed with both parents huh). He’s had to work insanely hard to fight the fear of loss, and so have I. We’ve done it together and I think our lives could actually go on if it were to happen, which is huge and makes what we have now all the more beautiful. Either way, we’re never going to “leave” the other. Our love is so much bigger than space and time and life or death.

On a MUCH tamer note, he’s severely acrophobic and has had to fight through this a lot for his job. So. We’re both very glad the lost he had to do now is, like, get on a ladder 😂

🍌 about my f/o’s flaws:

I used to think Mac was absolutely perfect lol I sincerely would not have been able to answer this question in our first couple years of marriage. Now I can confidently say his fears play into his handful of flaws, because he does tend to bottle things up til he implodes and take on a lot of responsibility all on his own, which pushes his loved ones away and does hurt us!! I know him well enough to know when he’s doing this, thank god, and I do it, too. Seriously, we’re just mirrors of one another. I also think his inability to accept any sort of “grey” area morally can be a flaw; like, it’s great that he’s a pacifist and has done whatever he can to save and lives in the field, but his viewpoint was a hindrance at times, and I think it still could/can be! If he ever had to make a split second, emergency decision between me and our kid(s), for example, I do NOT know what he would do. Also, we have been known to fight about his anti-gun stance and the like. ONE MORE THING: he can come across as such a know-it-all sometimes and be easily frustrated when people don’t understand what he’s saying in tense situations. He’s especially spoiled now that he’s had the luxury of spending most of his time around someone who speaks his language and is in a similar field STEM-wise. He’s very good about taking a breath and apologizing and remembering to be patient, but the “translational” issues have gotten him and some important people in our life in a pickle before, in canon!!

Also, he’s so spur of the moment/fly by the seat of his pants that he can be really messy sometimes without meaning to be. He’s a clean person, don’t get me wrong, but he will leave things out, half-done, even food 💀 it can get annoying af

🍉 about my f/o’s hair:

HIS HAIR EEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Mac’s hair is one of my favorite things about him, oh my GOD 🥰

This man takes his hair care so seriously. He canonically blows it dry every single time he showers, supposedly because it’s so thick (it is, and I love that, too). However, he didn’t know a lot of relatively basic things before me!! Like, hello, heat protection spray?? And some stuff about hair texture and type that I’ve also been learning more about. We teach each other 😌

My favorite hair on him is s3, the longer hair with swoopy bangs. UGH. That is peak. I also have a major soft spot for his shorter hair, with the same swoopy bangs, circa s2 and end of s1. We got married in s2, so when I see him with that cut, it’s just… Husband™️ :’) he’s always husband, but that’s the image that was cemented in my mind along with the definition, since that’s when he became my husband!!!
