damn Hannah ok

Tommy Darmody and Richard Harrow (wait do you mean Tommy–Jimmy’s kid–or Jimmy? I’m gonna assume/pretend you meant Jimmy)

  • who steals french fries off the other’s plate: “You’re not gonna eat ‘em anyway,” Jimmy says, when he’s in a foul mood, but feels badly about it afterwards. When Richard’s feeling cheeky he steals Jimmy’s fries instead and feeds them to nearby birds
  • who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple: Jimmy, but only when he’s drunk
  • who has to bust or bail the other out of jail: “You don’t. Pay me. Enough for this,” Richard mutters the third time it happens
  • who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues: Jimmy, but it’s bad advice and Richard knows it
  • who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes: neither, Jimmy figures it’s unfair on a one-eyed guy and Richard’s not the type to make sudden movements during tense situations
  • who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk: Jimmy runs back to the room to call dibs but finds Richard sitting there resolutely with his sad little suitcase, swinging his legs like a five-year-old. “FINE,” Jimmy grumbles, and spends all night jamming his feet up under the top-bunk mattress
  • who starts and who wins the pillow fights: Jimmy starts, Richard wins, with a well-timed small but weighty couch cushion hurled with the speed and skill of a sniper bullet
  • who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush: Richard, once, when drunk. Jimmy cheers and claps him on the back

Rust and Marty:

  • who steals french fries off the other’s plate: Marty is an inveterate plate-stealer but Rust steals pens off Marty’s desk so it all evens out
  • who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple: Marty. Rust dodges like there’s a killer bee headed for him
  • who has to bust or bail the other out of jail: I could see this one going either way tbh
  • who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues: “tell her that her body’s a paraphilic love map” “shut up, Rust”
  • who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes: Marty. Rust cheats by gesticulating expansively with his cigarette during infuriating monologues to distract Marty from the fact that he’s slipping Monopoly money out of the till
  • who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk: Marty. “Rest is just a temporary and ultimately unsatisfying substitute for death anyway,” Rust says. Marty lies awake all night, contemplating his own mortality, unable to enjoy the top bunk
  • who starts and who wins the pillow fights: Marty. Rust lies supine on the floor, refusing to fight, muttering about the meaningless cycle of human violence and how those pillows are too soft anyway
  • who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush: Marty, to every woman Rust meets, including checkout ladies and murder witnesses

Angel and Spike (I’m super-rusty on this one but here we go):

  • who steals french fries off the other’s plate: Angel wouldn’t order fries but if he did Spike would steal them, complain that they should have gone to Wendy’s instead because their fries are better, and then Angel would wearily remind them that they don’t even need to eat
  • who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple: either, but only to piss the other off
  • who has to bust or bail the other out of jail: “I raised you better than this,” sighs Angel. “The hell you did,” Spike retorts.
  • who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues: Spike gives sex advice, Angel gives romance advice, they both know better than to listen to each other
  • who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes: definitely Spike
  • who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk: also Spike, who then proceeds to jump up and down on it for an hour until it breaks. Angel makes a pallet on the floor and sighs about this being penance for enabling the unleashing of Spike upon the world 
  • who starts and who wins the pillow fights: Spike starts, Angel wins
  • who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush: neither. They’re too romantically competitive
