GOOD BOOKS: The Feast of Roses, by Indu Sundaresan

[s0fter-sin]

supernatural au where ghost is a flesh eating ghoul and soap is painfully human

in the middle of las almas, soaked in rain and blood that feels a little too close to soaked earth, soap asks - begs - ghost if he'll eat him if he dies here. ghost has to swallow the urge to promise that he will; that he'll savour him, let his body and his memory keep him warm and full as he mourns

not a drop would go to waste

and soap... soap needs to know that he won't be left in this place reeking of death and betrayal. the thought that he could fall in one of these back alleys and be left to rot and bloat, his ribs eventually cracking open and exposing his soft insides to the mexican heat fills him with a unique dread

he needs to know he'll be brought home

but scotland hasn't been home in a long time. england never came close; the various concrete bases he’s shuffled between no better than the blending walls of hotel rooms to his teenage eyes

ghost wouldn't drop him off at the nearest morgue to be planted a field with a cookie cutter headstone to be forgotten. he would consume him; piece by piece, bite by bite. it would probably take hours - days maybe - of slow, devoted feasting

but ghost is nothing if not persevering

ghost would give him a home and a duty to fulfil, even in death. he would make it so his body served a purpose just as he's served all his life

served his parents. served god. served the military. poor, aimless soap- always longing for a reason, a higher calling

what higher a calling is there than feeding a starved man?

LMAO SO, I FAILED TO ROB THE BRASS EMBASSY,

I decided that after the Shallows, Sam finally had a Motivation to do some Shadowy Tasks while he's trying to figure out what the HECK is up with the afterlife in the Neath, but uh, well!! For his trouble Samuel got branded with a hell letter that apparently glows through four layers of clothing for a while, which I'm choosing to interpret as the devilish equivalent of one of those shame signs you put on pets.

He got invited to tea by a friend directly after getting out of jail and the idea of him showing up and just studiously ignoring this glowing brand like "yes. hello im here. i will not be taking questions at this time." is entirely too amusing to me

Have I mentioned I HATE the way I outline??

Why do I always have to figure out the plan? Why can't past Sarah figure out the plan for once???

Since i watched the double a little over a month ago i got sucked into the world of chinese dramas … and realized a lot of the ones i was watching had many repeat actors/actresses. So i made a web showing the overlap i found between 10 different cdramas that i’ve watched. See if you can spot each show.

(Disclaimer: i made it in 1 hour sorry if there are any mistakes)

My favorite thing is how amy tries to get shadow out of his usual comfort zone and invite's him to do stuff with her that he probably wouldn't do with other people.

like listening to some taylor swift together in the twitter takeover when she discovered he was a swiftie.

Or even when he was getting tickets for her to go to the hot honey concert in the murder of the sonic the hedgehog for her last second birthday present cause he forgot, she wants him to go with her too with her request.

I like how he doesn't DENY these request's too, if he didn't wanna do it he'd immediately disapprove it, but he knows deep down it could actually be fun.

it shows they definitely has some trust with each other, and definitely have some fun going to places on the side, mostly by amy's request, he defs wouldn't normally just go up to someone and ask to go to a concert with him SNSNSN

Its cute honestly, i want this dynamic of their's more <3

Looks like there’s another one boys!

The playlist is a little out of order but he’s reacted to a couple of songs (makes sense since he seems to be more of a music guy) and the Trailers to Ep 3 so far.

Give him some love and let him know we’re excited!

Some feast of the rose refs for Harper! Their waistcoat is dyed cosmogone here but pink would also work, and the veil on the bat mask could really be any colour, but alas I did not feel like drawing multiple sksbskdbf

(yes Florence is faintly pink stained she got a bit too excited when presented with some beetroot. At least it's festive)

[superoffbatter]

...I don't trust you. But I will do this regardless.

This BETTER not be red honey.

god damnit
