Red Crackle Week Day 5: Domestic Life (Headcanons)

• They do travel a lot

• But I imagine they would live in San Diego

• In a cozy apartment

• Gray cooks

• No questions asked

• Usually just dinner

• Because the other meals they don't normally are on their home

• Carmen can do the basics

• But she might cause a disaster on the kitchen

• So Gray handles it

• Just like he is the one that usually drives the car

• And Carmen drives the motorcycle

• In comparison, Carmen likes her things organized

• And Gray, he is a little more chaotic

• So they divide according to their strengths

• Sometimes they help the other

• But the only chore they actively do together is grocery shopping

• Which might take a while

• Because they can't exactly draw too much attention

• And maybe some little discussions here and there about what they really need to buy or not

• They order things on weekends, tho

• Gray would try to impress Carmen with his mexican and argentinean food

• Some recipes were more successful than others

• So always that it is a latam food

• They cook it together

• Doing latino food together is like their little tradition

• To just have a good quality time with each other

• So even though they can't do it as frequently as they would like

• They still enjoy it

• Usually on fridays, end of the month

• Idk why tbh, but Gray just passes me some huge dog person vibes

• Like, he doesn't hate cats

• But in comparison, I just feel he would like dogs more (maybe because he is a golden retrivier lmao)

• So they would have a little small/medium sized dog

• According to the rules of the building

• Who is probably full of middle-aged people that they barely interact with

• And they are good neighbors

• And their dog is a good pet

• It would probably be a very loving and loyal, trained male dog

• That they disagreed a lot on what to name it

• But to be cute, I think they would settle for "Wolf", or something similar

Red Crackle Week 2024

Day 5: Domestic

For this day I did have a clear idea of what to draw, but I couldn't do it, it was lack of time *crying*

I think it is one of the fastest jobs I will have ready, maybe early March. Anyway, I bring you my Red Crackle headcanons here in their quiet times at home!

Gray and Carmen equally hate washing dishes. So they always split the turn of washing and rinsing. The work becomes lighter, also because they talk and/or start playing to get a little wet with each other.

Carmen likes to shake, while Gray likes to tidy up, being a good duo when it comes to keeping the house in order.

Carmen prefers to sweeping. She somehow relaxes her.

Gray always likes to improve the electrical system. Carmen sometimes doesn't know if that habit is a little obsessive.

Carmen tends to be a little, just a little messy. When she's very tired, or angry, she leaves her clothes on the floor when she gets dressed or puts on her night clothes. It doesn't bother Gray, so he picks up her clothes and puts them in the place where they should be (closet or dirty clothes). Only when Gray is exhausted or also angry, is when it bothers him to see Carmen's clothes thrown away, that's when a discussion can begin.

They both share the laundry. Still, Gray tends to do it most of the time.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages in the kitchen: Carmen is good with meats and soups, but she's terrible at baking, everything burns (it can even cause a fire… it only happened once) Gray is good with fish and salads. Don't make him cook rice because he can burn the entire stove.

They like to cook together, and they do it very well, they have fun... and sometimes... spicy things happen ;D

Every Sunday they deep clean their house. Once they finish, they sit in the main chair. Together and rested, sometimes sleeping side by side.

I don't know why this is one of my favorite Red Crackle days. I guess I like to imagine them having a quiet life. I hope you liked it!

Grey insisted he could carry ALL the groceries from the car in one trip

Day 5: Domestic

She had just arrived home from work a few hours ago and now she brushes her daughter's hair with small strokes and hums a small tune as she completes the task at hand.

"Mommy, can daddy put me to bed?" Her daughter asks sweetly. Carmen smiles and kisses her daughter on the head. "Sure, my baby."

Their 4 year old daughter, Camilla giggles and runs off to find her father.

Camilla hears shouting coming from her father's at home office and takes a peek inside only to find him talking to someone on the phone.

"Daddy?" She calls. Graham turns to his little girl's voice and smiles when he sees her. "I'm sorry, Shadowsan, but I have to go." With that he cuts the call and takes his little girl into his arms.

"My little fighter, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in bed?" He asks as he runs his one hand through her light brown locks.

Camilla giggles and hugs her father tightly. "She wants you to put her to bed." He looks at the entrance of his office door to see his beautiful wife in a red silk nightgown.

His heart skips a beat just staring at her. "Did she now?" Carmen nods and smiles at her husband and daughter.

"Daddy, can I sleep by you and mommy?" Graham looks at Carmen and she nods slowly. "I guess you can, little fighter." Camilla cheers and Graham walks them to their bedroom.

Carmen goes and sits in bed and takes her little girl into her arms. "I'll be back, let me change first." Graham says and kisses his girls on the head.

Carmen places Camilla in the middle and covers her with the comforter. Graham returns and slips into bed and smiles at his daughter.

"How was work? I am sorry I couldn't come see you when you came home." Graham says as he taps his daughter lightly.

Carmen shakes her head and smiles at him. "I can completely understand that the projects you are working on take time, and to answer your question, work was boring as usual. I hate signing papers all day."

Graham chuckles. "That's my Carm." Carmen blushes and looks at Camilla who is already fast asleep. "I know we haven't had much family time lately due to both of us being really busy with work, but I really want to start."

Graham nods in agreement. "Yeah, I think we should take a few weeks off to spend with Camilla."

Graham kisses his girls once more and sighs. "I love you." He mutters to Carmen. Carmen smiles and puts her hand on top of his that rests on their daughter and squeezes it.

"I love you too, Gray."

They both have busy lives, not having much time to spend with their baby girl, but they decided to give themselves time to be with her, to love her and cherish her.

Work isn't important to them, their daughter is. Everyday when they come from work there was always a routine they followed, but now they decided to change that for the better.

They decided to change it for their daughter and to have family time again.

~~~~

I think their daughter's name would be Camilla, it just fits 🤭 also when I thought of Domestic I thought of them with their kid, something fluffy 🥺

Red Crackle Week Day 6: Villains

You can't trust anyone but yourself. Professor Gunnar Maelstrom knew that better than anyone else in the world.

He actually knew a lot of things better than everyone. Including that every single person on Earth can be manipulated if the right strings were pulled. Even himself. The meeting he was about to have was because he wanted to make sure he would keep being the manipulator in his game. And he would guarantee it. In a way or another.

In his private office, he was waiting for her.

His star student.

The perfect apprentice. The perfect successor.

Maelstrom always wanted to have an heir to his empire, but as he was incapable of having children, Paper Star was the closest he would ever have to a daughter. Of course, someone who comes from his own bloodline would have been the ideal, but he knew Paper Star would honor his lineage right.

Maelstrom knew she had the potential in her. She was like a rough diamond. Maelstrom only needed to lapidate her correctly.

Everything was going according to the plan. Maelstrom would like to keep it like that. In his way. The best way. He had bigger ambitions for himself and his future. Too much was at stake for Carmen Sandiego to ruin everything.

-You wanted to see me, Professor?-Paper Star enters.

-Ah, my dear Paper Star. I think you must be aware of why I called you today.

-Let me guess...The lovebirds?-She asks with a smirk. That question was merely a formality. She knew they were going to talk about them. Everyone else was.

People even invented a nickname to reference both of them:"Red Crackle." There sure was a lot to comment about on V.I.L.E.'s new favorite duo. They were seemingly an unbeatable combination with their undeniable chemestry, romantic tension, and mutual understanding. After all, they were two of V.I.L.E.'s best operatives. What could possibly go wrong?

Maelstrom and Paper Star needed to ensure nothing would go wrong.

-Yes...Them.-Maelstrom says. Love really disgusted him.-You know I have never been too fond of...Feelings and trivial emotions.

-Oh I know exactly what you are keen on, Professor:Using people's sensations against them. To lure the fools to make what you want. And you know how much I respect that.

-Yes. Speaking of which, have you started the studies on the human mind like I suggested you to?

-Right away, Professor. Why?

-You'll need to put them to use.

-What for?

-To keep an eye on our resident "couple". And make sure they behave...

TO BE CONTINUED...

Day 3: Tragedy

When reading the word "tragedy" the scene from the KDrama "The Glory" came to mind (I highly recommend it. It's VERY GOOD!) So I decided to recreate that scene but with Red Crackle and the following bonus:

"Two years later. They cross paths again. Again by protecting each other out of unconditional love. They are safe in recovery. She achieved her caper, thanks to him taking the role of decoy, accepting the consequences of being labeled as "traitor". However, everything is fine, for now. Or maybe forever, since this time they will never lose each other again."

Yep, again, it's a sketch. I don't know if it's better to leave it like this, or at least give it some small details. I liked the result without having so much color and shadow.

Red Crackle Week Day 4: Valentine's Day

Headcanons on their first Valentine's Day:

• They went to Auckland

• Like come on

• It's basically their city at this point

• They own Auckland

• And that is not arguable lol

• Valentine's Day was just the excuse they needed to tour around New Zealand

• They would spend Valentine's Day in Auckland

• And then travel around New Zealand for a week

• A month max

• On Valentine's Day they started their day at the beach

• After lunch, they went to museums and art galleries

• At night, typical candlelit dinner

• Where they exchange gifts

• They end the day watching a movie with popcorn while cuddling

• And their extended Valentine's Day continues

• With photos of them all around New Zealand

• In tulip fields and with different types of animals and flowers and overall plants

• Doing all kinds of things

• Like parachute jumping (one for each this time)

• And after that New Zealand became their confort country

[redcrackle-week]

Happy Valentine's Day, My Love 💖

Day 4: Valetine

He smiles at her. She seems so carefree, happy even. "Gray, come here!" She screams. He chuckles and runs to her. She hands him some cotton candy and kisses his cheek.

~~~~

"Carm." He says as they take a walk by the beach. She looks at him and he sighs. He stops in front of her and smiles.

"We've been together for quite sometime now and I love you so much, darling. All I want to ask is," Graham stops and gets down on one knee and takes a ring from his pocket.

"Will you marry me?"

Carmen gasps as she drops to her knees. "Yes. It's always a yes." She answers. Graham places the ring onto her finger and kisses her sweetly.

"You are the best thing that has ever happened in my life." Graham mutters into her hair. Carmen smiles and looks at his face. "You are the same for me too, Gray."

Graham chuckles and starts to tickle her. "Gray, stop." He kisses her again and sits next to her on the sand as they watch the waves.

"This is so peaceful." She says as she places her head against his shoulder. Graham nods. "It's better with you here."

Carmen giggles. "Since when have you become such a simp over me, Mr Calloway?"

Graham laughs. "Since I've met you, Soon-To-Be Mrs Calloway."

Carmen's heart starts to beat faster when she hears 'Mrs Calloway'. She had always dreamed of that happening from the time they started dating and it's finally coming true.

Graham looks at his future wife and kisses her cheek. "I love you." He mutters against her lips. Carmen wraps her arms around his neck and smiles. "I love you too, babe."

Graham kisses her passionately and brushes a strand of her dark brown hair from her face. "Beautiful." He mutters.

Carmen pushes his chest and laughs. "Stop making me blush." Graham laughs with her. "I can't help it if it's the truth."

Carmen had never felt so content in her life, until she met Graham Calloway.

"Also," Graham starts. Carmen looks at him intently. "Happy Valentine's Day, My Love."

Carmen would always remember Valentine's Day being the day Graham got down on one knee and asked to marry her.

What a way to make Valentine's Day the most memorable day of the year.

♡♡♡♡

Happy Valentine's Day, friends 💕

[redcrackle-week]

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year 🎄

Day 2: Holiday

She sits on the couch in her comfortable snowman pyjamas and watches the snow fall outside her window. She exhales and takes a sip of her hot chocolate.

"Honey, I'm home!" She hears her husband scream. She turns around and spots him taking off his suit jacket and shoes. "You home early." She states.

Graham chuckles and walks over to her. He leans down and kisses her head gently. "It's Christmas Eve, I need to spend it with my wife." Carmen rolls her eyes and sighs.

"You are lucky, I made an extra cup of hot chocolate." Graham smiles and walks off to the kitchen. He returns after a few minutes and cuddles up to his wife.

"This is the most wonderful time of the year." He mutters. Carmen giggles and kisses his cheek. "It truly is." Graham smiles at her and leaves his mug on the coffee table. "I was thinking," He starts. He takes her hands in his and smiles.

"Maybe we could talk about kids." He says. Carmen stares at him and squeezes his hands. "Why the sudden talk?" Graham sighs. "Maybe it's become too quiet here and maybe having a kid or two will brighten up our days a bit."

Carmen nods slowly. "That is true." Carmen leaves his hands and walks to their room where she grabs a little gift she wanted to give Graham for Christmas, but he brought up the topic a day earlier.

She returns and hands him a small box. "What is this?" He asks, his eyebrows furrowed. Carmen gestures for him to open it. He obeys and gasps when he sees what's inside.

"Are you serious?" He asks her. Carmen nods and tears well up in her eyes. "Yeah, I'm pregnant." She states. Graham laughs and lifts Carmen off her seat and into the air.

Carmen giggles and kisses Graham. "I love you, Carm." He mutters. Carmen smiles and wipes away his tears. "I love you too, Gray."

For Graham and Carmen, it definitely was the most wonderful time of the year.
