Chapter: Annotated Chapter 1
Characters: Bianca Washington, Sparrow Applebaum
Now here’s a background I actually put some effort into! (Because I could get the references without leaving my apartment…)
I, uh, wanted to make it real clear that “Bianca cooks for her roommate” was not a typical feature of their dynamic.
In retrospect, I don’t know why she has an apron. In all the years since, neither I nor any of my various apartment-mates have ever bought an apron to cook in. Logic was overridden by the universal visual signpost for “this character is cooking.”
I have aprons and still don’t wear them when I cook, haha.
I used to have an apron. I never wore it when I cooked, so I got rid of it. Hopefully, someone’s using it these days, even if they’re not using it to cook.
Aprons can be quite useful in certain situations. It just does not feel like it’s useful while working in my own kitchen, with all my stuff conveniently located. (Ok, technically my landlord’s kitchen, but whatever.)
