im literally on my knees begging for cousin greg sfw alphabet (no rush, i know shit’s tough rn)(im just down astronomically bad for my beloved tree man)
Greg Hirsch (SFW Alphabet, Succession 2018-)
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Greg would love to be affectionate, he would try so hard to hold your hand and say kind things to you.. It’s no secret he’s not the most smooth operator, but he’s trying! He’ll pick stuff up when he’s out during the day, and say it reminded him of you. He got this tiny little pig at the airport, and gave it to you because “it’s a good luck charm for my good luck charm.”
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Greg would kind of suck as a best friend, but he’s just too good of a listener to dump. He’d be so supportive of whatever half-baked hairbrained idea you’d come up with this week. He’s all in with you, and he just wants to help, even now.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Greg would love to cuddle. He would try so hard to cuddle correctly, and end up making it weird. Eventually, you’d have to angle him so his feet don’t hang off your mattress. You’d just have to push him flat and tuck yourself into his side. He’s an expert already.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Greg wants to settle down. He hasn’t planned past next week, but he wants to see you next week. Does that count?? He’s not about to lock you down if he’s got nothing to offer you. Old fashioned? Maybe. But he’s so close to getting everything he’s ever wanted, he can hold off marriage just a little longer.
He’s pretty shit at cooking, but he’s solid with cleaning. His Mom told him to turn over a new leaf, and he’s actually keeping his space nice.
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Greg, at his most basic, is a hot mess. He would probably break up with you by accident, and it would take like an hour to decipher what he was actually trying to say. When it comes to break-ups (when you need to be semi-articulate), he’s not king, you’d have to do the heavy lifting.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Your tree man likes commitment! The idea isn’t scary or bad at all! Once he figures out what he’s doing past this today, he can make a game plan.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Greg can barely handle the fact that he has a girlfriend. He has a partner who likes him on purpose. YOu like him on purpose, and he’s going to be gentle with how he treats you, because this has never happened to him before. You want him on purpose!
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Greg isn’t the most familiar with hugging. His tall stature has left this a bit ‘awkward’ to execute with most people. But you’re not most people, so he’ll do whatever you want. You like to take a step up on the steps so you can hug him at eye level. You also keep a footstool around in case you need to hug him when he’s walking around your apartment. His hugs take a minute to warm up to, and you tend to put his hands where you want them. He relaxes after a minute, and he’ll hold you forever.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Greg, as we’ve established, isn’t the most experienced. He sends himself into a bit of a tailspin because Roman had to point out to him that he loves you. “Do you feel a little bit scared, like you might die.”
“yES.” “That’s love bitch.” But this is like six months in, you figured he’d catch on to his own feelings eventually.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Your boyfriend gets a fair amount of jealousy. He acts on it a lot but forgets what he’s trying to say halfway through. you simply raise your hand and he defers to you to bail him out or let him sink. You bail him out because you love him, even if he stutters and stumbles, it just means he cares.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
His kisses are soft and sweet, I stand by the fact that Greg doesn’t feel great grabbing you or ‘handling’ you roughly in any way. Greg likes to kiss your cheek, because it seems so domestic. It’s something he’d seen between his Dad and his Mom when they were still together.
As for Greg, you can kiss him anywhere you want. Anywhere at any time. Do it.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
As with most things, he’s awkward. But he tries! That’s what makes Greg good, is that he tries so hard to be good. Greg tends to get bullied by children, but this doesn’t stop him from trying to be patient and figure out what the tiny person wants/needs. He’s an adult damn it!
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
You do most of your adult activities with Greg during the day, so mornings are long and lazy. Sometimes you wake up and have breakfast, sometimes you just skip breakfast and go back to bed! You’re his priority, work can wait.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Nights are a bit hectic. He tends to get sent on errands “for the family”, and sometimes you have to bail him out of a bad situation, or go with him to act as bodyguard. It’s always an adventure, and you do it gladly.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Greg would love to be open with you, but he kind of forgot. He nails the first date, listens to you talk about whatever, but when you ask about him, his mind goes blank. He reveals things slowly because being asked about his history directly makes him forget it suddenly. Big mood.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Anger with Greg is rare, and it has a different shade on Greg. He gets quiet. It’s a slow, simmering type of mad that you’d miss if you didn’t know what to look for. Lucky that you do, because he’ll be blunt about it, and you can solve the problem together.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Okay, he knows it’s weird, but when you actually agreed to be his girlfriend, he studied. Greg the Egg put pen to paper and made note cards about you. He knows he can have the memory of a goldfish, but that little blue box of notecards he keeps with him at all times is a comfort. He won’t forget! He’s going to study until it’s written on his brain.
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Their favorite moment in your relationship would be the day the two of you met. To this day, it’s unclear what happened, but there were fire breathing carnival people, a singular clown, police, a glitter bralette, an aerial hoop, and acrylic paint. Not in that order, but it’s hard to explain if you weren't there.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Greg’s not too protective. He’s from Canada, and at his core, he thinks people are good. He’s 6’7 so he’s not used to truly being scared while walking. He’s the biggest and tallest, he likes his height!
He’d protect you by having you walk behind him to block the paparazzi cameras, and any riffraff who want to get near his girl. His preferred mode of protection was when TMZ stuck a camera in his face and you simply started barking at the camera man. You didn’t miss a beat and perfectly replicated a mad pomeranian. That’s love.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Greg hasn’t done a relationship before, and it shows. It shows in the sense that he’s made themed notecards to study the things you’ve said about yourself. He writes anniversaries on the calendar in the kitchen, and at any given day, you could come home to Indian Takeout and a bubble bath. Greg hasn’t digested the fact that this is long term, and he’s going to treat you right while he has you.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Eats like a bird and a third grade. Unorganized. He needs to write everything down to remember it. Has a blatant nervous tick when he tries to lie to people. And it’s all for YOU. That’s YOUR mess of a man!!! Good for you!!!
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Greg is slowly getting more concerned with his looks, so you’ve been sneaking up behind him and startling him whenever he looks at himself a little too harshly in the mirror.
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
He’s been without you before, he’s certain he could make it through. He just doesn’t want to be without you.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
Greg can crochet. He’s good at it too. When he first starts courting you, his awkward ass gives you all these various yarn goods, and doesn’t say where he got them. It’s not until you go back to his place that you see some pale blue yarn shoved under the couch that you truly put it together. You don’t say anything, you just wear your sweater, hat, and gloves with pride.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
I’m not saying you have to be a marshmallow queen. New York is a big bad city, and you have to have an edge to get by. What Greg needs is someone who is perfectly comfortable being soft. An edge is a good thing to have, but if you can’t put it down, he can’t get comfortable.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Greg has typically not slept well. He’s been 6’7 since he was a freshman in high school, and he’d all but resigned himself to the fact that sleep with pillows and good back support was off the table. He’s a light sleeper because of this. He’s an “active” sleeper, and it makes you insane.
But with all this new money he’s making, he surprises you with a new mattress that’s extra long to support his feet. He’s quiet after the change is made.
