@secretglitterbluebird I Doubt That He Did The Necklace Himself. When He Handed Her The Gift, He Was

@secretglitterbluebird I doubt that he did the necklace himself. When he handed her the gift, he was still mutated and beforehand, he wasn't able to morph/liquefy the materials he'd absorb. I assume that he bought it from a jewerly store though since I believe that it's made out of gold too. It indirectly shows how much respect he has for her

(It would have been interesting if he would have handed her a necklace made out of taedenite though, to be a call back to Kevin's big score or his mutated form. Unlike the gold one, that one really would have been made from him / represent his gratitude towards her in a different light. It would have implied him carving the gem into a shape similar to an oval/circle/sphere/whatever it could have been. It would have been a fun metaphor to have the taedenite exterior which covers the interior/image of human!Kevin.

Oh no I'm mumbling over my AU's ideas oops)

Getting back to the topic

With the canon's locket, he may have inserted that picture in himself lol, it'd be cute to imagine him struggling to get it in there but he does it anyways because he treasures Gwen sm😭

Also, Gwen's gift is meaningful as well because it implies as well - well, effort !! She may have had to carve some of them herself / get someone to help her out with making them

gift

so happy to see my country's traditional wear be appreciated !! (Extrem de încântat să văd hainele populare ale țării mele apreciate !!)

Romanian traditional costumes

Romanian dress refers to the traditional clothing worn by Romanians, who live primarily in Romania and Moldova, with smaller communities in Ukraine and Serbia. Today, a strong majority of Romanians wear Western-style dress on most occasions, and the garments described here largely fell out of use during the 20th century. However, they can still be seen in more remote areas, on special occasions, and at ethnographic and folk events. Each historical region has its own specific variety of costume.

Romanian traditional clothing can be classified according to seven traditional regions.These can be further subdivided by ethnographic zones, which may range between 40 and 120, depending on the criteria used:

Transilvania|Transilvania-Ardeal

The western plains: Câmpia Mureșului Inferior ; Câmpia Crișurilor (Crișul Negru, Crișul Alb, Crișul Repede); Câmpia Someșului inferior (Țara Oașului)

Banat, including Lunca Timișului and Caraș-Severin.

Valahia, including Oltenia și Muntenia.

The lower Danube, including Bărăgan, Dobrogea and southern Moldova.

Moldova, including Basarabia, Bucovina and Transnistria.

Balcans or Romanians of the Balcanic peninsula, which can be further subdivided into four areas

The Daco-Romanians along the borders: Cadrilater (Bulgaria),Timoc (north-western Bulgaria and eastern Serbia), Voivodina/Serbian Banat and in Ukraine (especially around Cernăuți and Odesa)

Istroromanians in Istria, Croatia

Macedoromanians (or “aromanians”) in Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia.

Meglenoromanians in Greece and Macedonia.

The structure of Romanian traditional clothing has remained unchanged throughout history and can be traced back to the earliest times. The basic garment for both men and women is a shirt or chemise (ie). This was tied round the waist using a fabric belt, narrow for women and wider for men. The cut of this basic chemise is similar for men and women. In the past those worn by women usually reached to the ankles while men’s shirts were shorter and worn over trousers or leggings made from strips of fabric. Women always wear an apron over the chemise (fotă). This was initially a single piece of cloth wrapped round the lower part of their bodies and secured by a belt at the waist, as is still seen in the east and south east of Romania. In Transylvania and the south west of Romania this became two separate aprons, one worn at the back and one at the front.

Men’s traditional clothing throughout Romania comprises a white shirt (cămasă), white trousers, hat, belt, waistcoat and or overcoat. Local differences are indicated by shirt length, type of embroidery, trouser cut, hat shape, or waistcoat decoration. In most areas shirts are worn outside trousers, which is the older style. This is a basic Balkan man’s costume largely uninfluenced by fashions from west or east. Hungarian and Saxon men living in Romania wear trousers with a more modern cut often made of dark material rather than white. This reflects their closer ties, and more frequent communication, with the west.

alien force!

got any gwevin headcanons?

here ya go!! sorry if i have less of these my gwevin thoughts are borderline incomprehensible if youre not down w the liz lore.... most of my gwevin shit is so far divorced from canon theyre completely different lawl

-when gwen moves away to go to college kevin comes over to her house w toiletpaper and lightbulbs bc you never remember those when youre first moving out

-gwen actually distrusted kevin heavily when they first met because of their prior meeting but was civil and friendly because she'd been burned before by being outright rude to people she distrusted. this in turn made him obsessed with her bc people are nice to him so rarely

-kevin actually wears more makeup than gwen (whos more of a tinted lip balm and moisturizer type girl) so he does her makeup for special events

-kevin and gwen don't actually ever get married in the series (this is actually canon) and i think its bc even though kevin has a longer lifespan than someone like ben, he'll still die long before gwen does, and shes scared of leaving someone she loves behind. both kevin and gwen r very against the 'saintity of marrige' as well bc of their families so they just stay unmarried for the rest of their lives. they get ben to be a surrogate for devlin though :))

-kevin is very empathetic but not very good at social cues, so he often does things that he feels will help/ empathize with people but doesnt understand the signals they're putting out, if that makes sense, so he'll often try to be affectionate with gwen when she's mad at him and it will just make things worse. gwen knows he's trying to be loving but her inherently judgemental nature makes her go through this endless cycle of confronting bad assumtions about him and trying to knock them down for the sake of the relationship. kevin sees this and appreciates that shes trying, but still feels like hes not worthy of her effort. theyll get through it dont worry

-gwen is a fucking HORRIBLE driver, and has crashed cars multiple times including kevins, but he forgives her no matter what bc she just makes big eyes at him and he forgets that he was mad at her

-gwen grabs kevin's padlock to yank him down to talk to her. 99% of the time this cuts off the air in his windpipe but he gives zero shits because he gets to look at her face to face

there you go!! again, this stuff is purely brain speculation lol. i hate the heteronormative fixer upper type trope so much but theyre so cute i cant resit it, so i make up shit in my head lawl. gwevin is only good when gwen is the boyfriend and kevin is the girlfriend methinks. thanks for the ask!!

Kevin being a good owner to Zed (4x09)

Hmm, they both seem to be argumentative people. I always imagine their relationship similarly to Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter. They generally argue/debate over general things.

Neither of them admit that they enjoy it somewhat though. Gwen`s a diplomat and Kevin sparkens a different perspective in a conversation.

Having a debate where both parties have things to say/continue the topic is extremely entertaining.

Gwen doesn`t give up easily on her views / appreciates if she has who to share/argue them with. Kevin probably hasn`t met a person like Gwen who`d have an actual debate which wouldn`t end out with someone`s teeth being pulled out.

Or generally, didn`t have time to sit down and just - think of things (being an on-the-run con artist didn`t help)

I noticed quite a couple of times in UA especially when they`d argue and seem to be in their own bubble, leaving Ben on the side/not understanding the situation. Such as how Harry was described as feeling in the books.

And so, to answer. Their first big fight probably was from In Charm`s Way. Before then, there were moments/hints towards a big argument.

I believe that a fight as big as that would have happened anyways because of Kevin`s behaviour towards Gwen during S3. It was building up to happen even without Charmaster`s involvement. The cheating part broke the camel`s back/ them actually talking about the issue first hand.

Kevin not trusting Gwen and considering himself inferior/unworthy for her and Gwen feeling frustrated/feeling not enough that she can`t help him.

(Of course, Kevin`s negative behaviour was never justified, especially towards those closest around him)

Kevin pushing her away always caused conflict. Examples being anytime he mutated or did anything considered illegal,

(On the trust part, I can think of that time in Couples Retreat where Kevin took it upon himself to take Gwen`s magic book from her room without asking first about book`s safety/ if any protection had been placed on it. And so, to take the book ``somewhere safer``. Kevin`s impulsive decisions just caused a lot of conflict between them.)

Kevin just needs to put more trust into others man,

Gwevin week Day 2: what do you think their first fight as a couple was?
