idk if I’ve posted about this before but I seriously headcanon that Ghost has a twelve-step skincare regimen

it includes moisturizer, witch hazel, scar gel, burn cream, etc and he sticks to it religiously when he can

it’s not that he is particularly enthused about self care or even skin care in general, but it keeps his eye black from creasing, his scars from aching, and his face from breaking out with acne under his mask

when the 141 pulls off their Ghost Team balaclavas in Las Almas, he nearly doubles over in laughter at their messed up eye black, fabric creases pressed into their dry skin, and pimples already starting to pop up

after they get back from Chicago, all three of them find a small bag with moisturizer, face cleanser, and acne cream outside of their barracks and none of them even have to ask who it came from

I keep thinking of a Mobrei soulmate AU to the tune of the fic Polarity by Writeous specifically where you have a soulmark but the TRUE bond is that whenever you share blood with your soulmate, you travel back in time to a time they needed support as an invisible phantom that can only interact with them—and I'm just picturing the first time Reigen and Mob swap blood to confirm and Reigen getting yeeted back into a chaotic nursery room in the middle of the night, tiny ???% Mob floating above his crib crying and wailing as his things fly around him at high speeds and his parents watch helplessly from the doorway. And Reigen, who literally probably learned about his tiny soulmate like ten minutes ago, considering—sighs and just scoops the wailing baby Mob out of the air and holds him. And, since ???% is the one awake, he can see Reigen and is able to interact with him more before Mob calms back down and wakes back up. By then, Mob's parents (why do we never get their NAMES) have kinda scolded themselves for not helping their own child and being afraid of him, enough that this became a moment his soulmate needed to step in, and they come in to take back over—thus Reigen's first big change to Mob's life.

Reigen, however, had a very different experience with his soulmate and is incredibly reluctant to activate the bond after they've confirmed it—because while Mob and everyone else thinks it's platonic, Reigen, who has experienced far more soulmate visits than Mob has at that point, knows that it isn't. But of course, like fate always does, circumstances have them activating the bond far more than he'd like. He's there, afterwards, for every moment Mob needs him, like a delayed memory.

Because he still remembers every time Mob was there for him, even if he doesn't know it yet.

Poor ruin dude 😭

Nobody’s gonna care enough to come for Ruin, he’s made sure of that. But his recent behavior makes me think that Ruin offered himself to dark sun with the intention to undo him from the inside, only to be backed into a corner and threatened into compliance (for now)? He had no idea that he’d be working with— for Nexus. Who threatened to eat him.

Or maybe he had a “if you can’t beat them, join them” moment. Which I slightly doubt because he seems to truly hate dark sun, and he put that aside for survival’s sake.

Not that he doesn’t 100% deserve it, but, ruin’s been taking hits left and right. As he IS the character that’s keeping me in tsams, I can’t help but feel bad :’)

Someone stamp his kidnapping card again this has got to be like the twelfth time /joking

Can I talk abt how much I luv the idea that 6EM is just scared shitless of SWK? Like that’s sounds horrible, and I worded that so wrong, but just hear me out. Imagine that 6EM didn’t just attack SWK out of anger/revenge (even if that was a main motivator, it’s also, like, the only reasons he targeted MK) but also out of fear. Fight or flight kind of thing.

& it’s only after he & SWK r making up/agreeing 2 not fight that he realizes this. Bcz the thing is, now that fight is no longer on the table, he instinctively goes 2 flight. & it’s not like a BAM realization, it’s more of a steady build up to an “oh”.

Like instead of the world suddenly bursting into technicolor and making sense, it’s more like color had been bleeding in for so long and he’s only just now truly identified/acknowledged it. He, on some level, knew it was there, so he’s not exactly taken aback.

& it’s almost worse like that, like a game slowly building up for a jumpscare, putting you @ the edge of ur seat, only for nothing to happen. So now you just have this sludgy buzz of emotion sitting uncomfortably in your gut w/ no way out.

May b the 1st sign was just 6EM’s struggle to not taunt/insult SWK. Like, sure, they both struggled w/ that bcz they’ve been doing it so long it’s just habitual. But 6EM is so “flip-floppy” abt it, 1 day he’s a-okay, not picking a single fight. The next SWK stands just a lil 2 close & 6EM is spitting the most hurtful shit w/ out even meaning 2.

May b the 2nd was that the more 6EM improved w/ not insulting SWK, the worse he got w/ flinching. The more he had to sit farther from SWK, the less he allowed SWK anywhere near his blind side. Every held back insult only made him more restless, but not in the angry “being forced to hold ur tongue” way.

(Ofc there’s tons of little things here & there, small signs that, by themselves, don’t mean anything, but 2gether mean sm.)

I think that the final sign wouldn’t b anything big, it wouldn’t be some dramatic pent up explosion, it would a small innocuous thing. May b MK just mentions his fear of spiders, how creepy they r, how just the knowledge 1 might b near him makes him restless. & may b 6EM will think sum like “same”, & may b that small thought will connect the discomfort he’s feeling 2 fear, the discomfort he always feels around SWK.

There’s no big bang, nowhere to put his emotions. It’s just being forced to acknowledge a persistent aching wound. And that’s almost worse.

a song that i associate with my muse meme!

OH hey! thank you so much for the ask, venus!! so for this one... i unfortunately have another sad song but (,: i swear to god, if you've never heard this song before, it may just change your lifeee. okay — maybe it wouldn't do something that extreme, BUT it is still such a good song, IMO (an explanation will be in tags):

radiohead - how to disappear completely.

[pynkhues]

holy shit sophie…. your fic…. holy shit. i don’t even know what to say. i feel like i need 5 working days to process what i just read……… god. all i can say right now is THANK YOU for sharing your writing with us - you are such a gift.

oh, and another thing - please i beg you don’t listen to the comment on ao3 about louis “trying to play maître”. i understood your louis completely, and i’m sure plenty of other readers did too. “this is horrifying” yeah and so is your reading comprehension. girl bye. so much love to you sophie ❤️❤️❤️

You're so welcome, and thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

And ah, yeah, that comment. I feel badly that they seem to have been triggered by it, but I used what I felt were the appropriate ao3 archive warnings and tags last night when I was uploading. I've since added a dubious consent tag, even though I don't really feel that's appropiate as I think the last sex scene is very consensual, it just has a lot of baggage and trauma being brought to it by nature of the night they've had. I'm going to reply to them with something of that variety today, so hopefully they'll feel a bit better about it all.

pondering. how hilde felt picking up drk. one of emet's canon classes. did it feel familiar... did he feel some measure of embarrassment when he didn't perform well enough. when fray would get upset with him did he instinctively shut him down because he would expect someone else to nag. someone who he could not even begin to put a name or face on, it just feels like something... innate. this reflex to bite back defensively when he messes up while watched by someone more skilled than him in something. he's not prideful by nature but something within him just pushes him to have some sort of ego when it comes to this in particular

& how he felt when entering ktisis hyperboreia & here emet, "great sorcerer of eld", expected black mage, goes & conjures his weapon of choice for the occasion - a greatsword he's putting to use to protect his party members with the power of the darkness within, though he wouldn't readily admit to it
