Little-Known Maria Hill Fun Facts

mariahillmeta:

Like headcanons, except they’re canon.

I looove reading people’s headcanons, but it makes me sad that there are all these random treasures from the stories themselves (these come from a mix of the Marvel ‘verses) that no one seems to know about! So, for your fanwork-creating enjoyment:

• Maria’s favorite food is spaghetti with red sauce
• She also cares enough about pizza to have a favorite pizza parlor in the entire U.S. (Vinnie’s of Savannah, Georgia)
• However, she is not fond of dishes that are chicken-fried
• Plays, or at one point played, video games
• Was expelled from high school (or possibly middle school)
• Had a pet fish but it died
• Can swim in handcuffs
• Cuts her own hair
• Was in the Marines before SHIELD
• If you care, the canonical Answer to that one debate fandom is always having is that she was already with SHIELD when she was stationed in Madripoor (we don’t know where she was or what she did as a Marine)
• Has had the same car since she was nineteen years old
• Cheapskate. (Her Georgetown apartment is on the third floor of her walkup because it was fifty bucks cheaper. Fifty bucks’ difference, Hill? Does SHIELD really pay you that badly? Actually, if we go by Isaiah the Lawyer’s complaints about Natasha’s pay, it probably does)
• Or maybe she was just saving for eighteen months to afford her nINE HUNDRED DOLLAR headphones. Damn gurl
• Hates reporters
• The only people she hates more than reporters are politicians 
• She sleeps with a gun under her pillow (specifically, this is from EMH, so it’s her sci-fi laser pistol
• The only items lying around her office aside from desk clutter/office materials are a coffeemaker and a couple of submachine guns
• Out of uniform, she tends to wear practical attire; lots of jeans and boots
• Admires Nick Fury (but ain’t NEVER gonna admit it)
• Likes jetpacks, well-laid plans, and rose-tone nail polish
• Not afraid of you

I might go back and source these/add panels when I have time; let me know if you want the panel/source for a specific one!
