This had me giggling! In this headcanon, do Heatherstar and Eveningstorm ever fight over all of these...incidents?
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've planned out a bit more than I'd like to admit for an alternate universe where the cast is human. ^^'
And yes, it does lead to arguments sometimes! It's only playful bickering, for the most part, and it's clear to both of them that they're only joking. Eveningstorm jokingly declares that Heatherstar is only allowed to operate her DVD player via remote, Heatherstar rolls her eyes and reminds her of the time Eveningstorm red-ringed her Xbox, Eveningstorm retorts by reminding her of the three
other red-ringed Xboxs Heatherstar has laying around her house. This isn't the only way they interact, naturally, but they do have the occasional "snark-off".
Of course, they've also had real arguments. Mostly this stems from when their mutual, playful bickering grows subtly passive aggressive on Eveningstorm's side. She's a bit wittier than Heatherstar is, and she's often the one with the last comeback ready. But sometimes she doesn't realize when she's crossed a line and has genuinely offended her partner, and Heatherstar's afraid to speak up in fear of appearing too sensitive, or losing or offending Eveningstorm. Her little passive aggressive jabs build until Heatherstar snaps, Eveningstorm retaliates, and everyone feels awful in the morning.
Thankfully, this happens less and less the longer the two of them are in a relationship and grow more comfortable communicating with each other. Heatherstar grows the confidence to say when she's uncomfortable without fear of offending Eveningstorm, and Eveningstorm grows more mindful of what Heatherstar is sensitive about and makes it clear that she can always speak up if there's anything she doesn't feel comfortable about. She's extra careful not to pressure her into doing anything as it begins to sink in that Heatherstar's older sister was extremely manipulative towards her.
They'll still occasionally joke about it, but serious arguments building off of Heatherstar's technology-jinx reduce in frequency, and rather quickly become a thing of the past.
