#Soap doesn't mind

[gazspookiebear]

Ghost hcs mostly him having autism

Has compression socks and gloves bc they help keep him regulated, but he HATES tight clothing anywhere else. He strictly wears loose and baggy clothing, like oversized hoodies

Hates flavored water unless it's tea. Green tea? Sure. Any kind of sparkling water? Nuh uh

Likes mud and rain puddles. Don't ask me why

Can't stand the smell of coffee in the morning, it overwhelms him. He can and will leave the room if someone just made coffee

Doesn't like hugs, or really just being touched in general. (Mostly due to trauma, but the autism isn't helping either)

That being said, when he does get hugged, he prefers it to be firm. Heavy knuckles running up and down his back is the quickest way to make him melt in your arms. Soap is the only one allowed to do this, but Price and Gaz will very occasionally be offered one of those awkward one-armed half hugs if they need one.

He masks most of the time (literally and figuratively) so it's not very obvious that he's autistic from first glance. If he's comfortable with the people around him, or if he's alone, he might stim

He does jazz hands as a stim, and can occasionally be found tiptoe walking

He also knocks his knuckles together and rasps them on desks. He likes the noise.

He prefers rough or smooth textures over soft/fluffy ones. Denim, mesh, leather, linen, and polyester are the only fabric types he'll be comfortable in.

He keeps his hair buzzed, not just because he's in the military, but because he pulls on it and ends up tearing it out of his head when he gets sensory overload from it touching his face (me too bro, me too)

He listens to metal songs on max volume when he's sensory seeking (you can hear that shit through his headphones)

He doesn't like having things in his ears, so he prefers headphones over earbuds. He won't complain if he has to use earbuds though.

Surprisingly enough, he can't stand weighted blankets. Unless that weighted blanket is Soap 😏

He gets aggressive when he's excited, so he'll often go to the gym to blow off some steam. Rookies see him going to town on a punching bag and assume he's pissed, but really he just doesn't know how else to express his feelings.

He hyperfixated on komodo dragons for a while (he now has several random facts in his arsenal)

His special interest is weapons. Any kind, he just thinks they're interesting. Especially crossbows. (He knows just about every weapon under the sun, ask him literally anything)

He steals Soap's phone to play neko atsume (he has become emotionally attached to the cats, but you didn't hear me say that)

He prefers to sleep with blankets under him instead of on top because it makes his skin crawl if they're not the right texture.

He's always cold but radiates heat like a motherfucker, definitely has an electric blanket at his place

He has a favorite pen that he carries everywhere, refuses to use anything else.

He eats the most random food combinations. Tomatoes with sour cream? Delicious. Avocados with cream cheese? Absolutely divine. A normal fucking sandwich? Hell no.

He struggles with hygiene but hates feeling dirty. He'll often force himself to shower even when he knows it'll drain his energy.

He has to buy a specific type of eyeblack because of the texture. He doesn't like any kind that feels too greasy. Not that it'll stop him from wearing it if that's all that's available, but he won't be happy about it.

He used to bite his hands as a kid. Hard. He has a few small scars because of it

He enjoys heavy bass. He likes low rumbling/knocking noises. He may or may not be considering buying a bass drum...

Alternates between sleeping in a hammock and a bed at his place

Loves chairs that spin, though you'd never catch him spinning 😔

Everything he says sounds sarcastic, even when he's being genuine. This has caused many people to get annoyed with him.

He tends to grind his teeth, so he chews on tree bark to keep his mouth busy

He used to climb trees as a kid because he liked the way the wind felt from up high in the leaves

He isn't a fan of the way paper feels. That being said, He loves old books. He spends most of his downtime at the library since it's quiet and peaceful, plus it gives him a way to get out of the house and busy himself.

He still wears a mask off duty for many reasons. For starters, he's never been the best at facial reactions. He thinks it's easier to just hide it altogether than to try and contort his face into the "appropriate" reaction. Secondly, he has stims and occasional tics where his mouth moves, and he doesn't want people to stare. (Snapping his mouth like a shark... so real to me) Also, he just thinks it should be common practice. He's never understood why people don't cover their mouth and nose, or at the very least cover it when they cough/sneeze.

He will actually fan the air in front of him if someone he doesn't like just walked by. He doesn't want to breathe "their air". (Graves was very confused as to why Ghost kept waving the air every time he walked by)

He wears sunglasses in public, regardless of whether or not it's sunny out. He just doesn't want to have to make eye contact with people if he doesn't have to. He can make eye contact, but he much prefers not to.

He punches his legs or the walls when overstimulated.

He has dromophobia (fear of crossing streets) and tends to speedwalk across roads

Has the biggest vocabulary known to man because he used to read dictionaries as a kid. (He can and will abuse this power when someone is annoying him)

Prefers non-fiction. That's it.

He cleans doorknobs daily. He specifically keeps a pack of wipes with him to clean doorknobs- who the fuck knows when they were cleaned last. He can't stand the idea of touching something that dozens, if not hundreds of people (who may or may not have washed their hands) have touched prior.

His favorite color is orange. He always avoids touching anything orange because he's worried he'll ruin it somehow.

He washes his hands before and after everything he does (when he can)

He has a crowbar. He keeps it beside his bed, and he's very fond of it.

He can stay completely still for concerningly long amounts of time. Useful for missions, unnerving the rest of the time. Can and will be seen in the corner of a room staring at people.

@waiting-so-long I'm so glad someone wanted to hear my nonsense lmao

simon telling the boys he'll be missing out on the family dinner cuz his girl keeps him very well fed and he doesn't wanna miss dinner but you ain't much of a cook and while the grub's borderline toxic, your pussy isn't.

Ghost at the gym: Need a spotter, Johnny?

Soap nervously: Ah dinnae think ah kin focus with ye as mah spotter.

Ghost: Then look at my face and not at my balls, dickhead.

i cannot shit on sanrion that much, i think of the creepyshipping ones that one is the one with the most canon basis and the most likely to happen of those ships, and also as a theonsa esp re: tyrion, i'm really living in a glass house here because they have basically the exact same drawbacks. but any ending for sansa that involves her being eclipsed by her husband, living in the westerlands, having lannister babies, genuinely makes me feel ill. if she's with tyrion, it's because he has fully given up his right to inherit casterly rock, and they are both serving Bran in Harrenhal. anything else is unthinkably frustrating and misogynistic to me.

somebody tell my brain it doesn't need to be constantly imagining soapghost while I'm at work and i'm trying to focus because I need to make that money to buy soapghost merch. STOP IT!

Hey there! I’ve been reading A Better Kind Of Animal, and (among other aspects) I love your authorial voice. I’m curious to ask: Beyond Disco Elysium, do you have any particular literary inspirations? Or just general reading recommendations, works you love? :-)

Thanks! I've definitely absorbed stylistic bits and pieces from all sorts of books over time, but I don't have any specific inspirations that I can point to (though I'm 99% sure that my banter-writing style can be traced directly to the Star Wars Republic Commando book series... those were my favorite books in high school and were honestly pretty pivotal for me, lmao).

I'm a big fan of how Pratchett uses language in the Discworld books! I've not been able to emulate that style, but it's writing goals for me.

My current favorite book is Network Effect (book 5 in the Murderbot series). One of the rare books that I've read more than once.

I don't hate that people love toxic LGBT characters and ships, I hate that some of them use it as an excuse to shit on characters and ships they deem "uncool". Like, oooh, you brave little toaster enjoy darker themes and stories, do you? Should we tell everyone? Should we throw you a party? Should we call the ghost of Anne Rice?

[microknifeyuri]

microknife is the most t4t ship for me

meanwhile soaphy is the most mspec one for me

do you get my vision

[shotmrmiller]

I think last time Sarah had a "bath" it was in a lake :p So she's really surprised by hot/warm water)

The idea that Sarah hated having to bathe because the lake was always cold. When they were little they had to be dragged, as an adult Winnie started locking them out of the cotgage if they went too long without one (they pushed this a lot but would always begrudgingly go eventually. It was a half decent place to run into boys, too so not all bad)

So they hear Max and Daniela go "Sarah, love, you NEED a bath" and their mind instantly goes to a freezing cold river. They're whining about it but eventually Daniela convinces them to just come with her (because she has doubts Sarah can work a faucet)

And once the bath is filled and Daniela finally convinces Sarah to get in it they are just shocked at how nice the water feels. There's no cold shock. No having to adjust to the temperature. It's just...

Warm.

This is SO MUCH BETTER than the lake.

on today's episode of "trying to decipher what ben is saying in the tags"...

on that soap gifeset: 'he needs *** **** ****** ****' = he needs his face fucked hard???? 🤔🤔🧐👀

(if that's it i agree wholeheartedly)

SO incredibly real and true but i think it was 'he needs his hole played with' because i just wrote abt that when i rbed skljdkjfhts

[angrysheeptime]

Lol every time I go to the dermatologist there's a new lotion or potion to slather on my skin
