#idk I like the idea of Sam growing up orthodox Jewish but the only thing he still upholds is not shaving his peyos

Every time I think of Human!Sam I imagine him having peyos instead of his flappy dog ears. And then Human!Max has a pair of very clean bunny ears that he found in a dumpster as a kid and fell in love a 2nd time (the 1st time was with violence, the 3rd time with his gun, and the 4th time with Sam). The bunny ears are meticulously cleaned and cared for, and they'd be the only thing on Max that he'd willingly keep such high maintenance on if it weren't for Sam forcing him to take care of himself as well as the bunny ears.

"Peyos" (or "Pe'ye" if it's singular) are uncut/unshaven sideburns, it's a thing done by a lot of Orthadox Jewish men and boys because one of the rules of the Torah that they uphold to is to "never shave the sides of their head". Most people wear them curled, and the literal translation of "Pe'ye" is "corner/side/edge".
