The medusa au is so cute thinking about it I imagine soap just bumping into ghost and ghost just freaking out because he is a myth in the village and is afraid he’ll scared this pretty man off but once soap looks up to him he smiles and apologizes to him and before he leaves he say, “y’know as a blind man I pride myself for seeing true beauty in things but I can tell you’re a very handsome man” then winked and waves ghost goodbye right then and there ghost falls for this strange, small, blind man. (Ghosts snakes are his wingman they make moves for him)
I got notified of this like 6 seperate times and it still took me forever to answer it cause I love procrastinating like that. Anyway!
I just gotta say this first, you said Ghost’s snakes act as his wingmen and it’s got me thinking that his snakes play on his actual feelings and thoughts cause he’s too hurt and stubborn to pay attention to them himself.
But onto the rest of it! So Soap’s always been good at reading people, blindness be damned, and he’s prided himself on that fact all his life. So when he crashes into someone broad, tall and quiet, something about the man just pings in his senses.
Something about that one point of contact just lets him know that this man is not only drop dead gorgeous but also impossibly good. He might not see himself as such but Soap’s never been wrong before.
Ghost is thrown at the behaviour of this strange little man, wondering why he’s not running for the town and crying about the monster he’s seen. But when he looks up he’s met with shining grey eyes, smile crinkling the corners and making him look breathtaking in the mid day sun.
The snakes that rest around his shoulders are quiet but they’re also intently fixed on the man, and Ghost can feel their interest in both him and the fact that he isn’t turning to stone.
But then Ghost catches the sort of haze in his eyes and realises the man’s blind. The snakes hiss quietly in pleasure at the knowledge and Ghost has to quickly shut them up so they don’t give him away.
The man apologises and walks off, leaving him with one last comment about how he knows Ghost is a handsome man despite being blind. It doesn’t make sense in Ghost’s head but he finds himself hard pressed to hate it when the man is smiling like that.

there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love

A Persuasive Argument - dpxdc
"Great!" Danny says, clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention. The dinner table falls silent as everyone looks towards him. It's a full house today and, honestly, Danny's a little nervous. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I gathered you here today."
"It's dinnertime. In our house." Duke mutters, while doing a very bad job of concealing his yawn. He holds his fork poised over the braised beef, but, just like everyone else, still looks towards Danny before tucking in. It's intriguing enough to wait.
"Yeah, no one misses Alfie's dinner." Dick says, with a brilliant smile that Danny can't help but return.
"Precisely! What better time to talk to you all than when you're all actually here!"
"Wait, I thought you came round to work on our English essays?" Tim asks, blinking owlishly.
"I'm afraid I've lured you here under false pretences, Tim."
"This is where I live."
"I would still really appreciate help on that essay though, I mean, what the hell is Hamlet even about? I just don't get that old time-y language, like 'Hark! A ghost hath killed me!' - absolute rubbish, what does that even mean?"
"The ghost never kills anyone in Hamlet, he's there to tell Hamlet that he was murdered. Have you actually read it?"
"No, but it sounds like you have. Tim, I want this guy to help me with my essay instead. I know for a fact that you haven't read Hamlet, either."
"So? We don't need Jason, I've read the Sparknotes."
"Hi Jason, I'm Danny, pleasure to meet you, summarise Hamlet in three sentences or less."
"Am I auditioning to help you write your essays? I can't believe you’ve gone through your whole school life without reading it, it’s good!"
"Hamlet, along with a number of other classics, was banned in our house because it portrayed ghosts as intelligent and sympathetic beings rather than evil, animalistic beasts. I didn’t even get to see The Muppet's Christmas Carol until last year with Tim! It was surprisingly good, and I hate Christmas because everyone always argued and it sucked. But we're getting off topic. I—"
"No, no, please go back to that, because what the fu—"
"Boys, please." Bruce interrupts, looking to the world as if he wants to hang his head in his hands. "Danny, you were about to say something?"
"Oh, yeah, Mr. Wayne! Thanks!"
"Please, call me Bruce."
"Well, that very succinctly brings me to my point, because I'd actually really like to call you dad."
Nobody says a word. Nobody even blinks, all as shocked as the other, watching open-mouthed as Danny pulls his laptop out from beside his chair. Bruce can definitely feel a headache coming on.
"Before you say anything, I've prepared a 69 slide PowerPoint presentation on why you, Bruce Wayne, should adopt me, Danny Last-Name-Pending. Please save your questions, comments, and verdict until the end, thank you."
