#have some blorbo headcanons

"nooooo you can't just make your 420th post about live a live!!!"
hehe oersted headcanons go brrrr
made with my personal au (twizlore) in mind. these can work for any au where oersted doesn't die tho. these are my headcanons, don't try and ""correct"" my interpretations.
(content under the cut as per usual)
He's got very... interesting eating choices. Balmgrass isn't the only strange yet edible-adjacent "food" he's eaten, much to the horror of Straybow and any other witnesses. Joshua Tree Seeds? Eats those. (They have a good crunch to them!) He even thought Holy Water was a drink, once. (He realized his mistake after finishing a bottle. It was pretty good, though. Given the chance, he'd drink it again.)
The only food-adjacent thing he outright refuses to eat under any circumstances are Trifles. (aka "This Thing" in the fan translation) He tried it once. It was so bad, he turned to stone. Twice. (He got better.)
Enjoys doing challenging things, just for the sake of doing it. "Because I can" is his go-to explanation when people ask. Incredibly difficult task that everyone else keeps putting off? He's doing it. Hard video game? Played it, beat it, probably 100%-ed it. Player-made challenges for an otherwise simple game? Does those for breakfast. He will face the very void itself until it relents. Why? Because he can.
Joined every yearly tournament that he was allowed to in Lucretia for that very reason. Yes, he still tried to join when he was too young for fighting. Didn't see the tournament prize being marriage as a good idea, because nobody knew the king was gonna throw that at the finalists. (Besides the minister, that fucker) He won because Straybow would've been pissed if Oersted went easy on him. (A high IQ stat is not indicative of being smart, it seems.)
Despite not being okay with the marriage, he offered to save the princess because it's the right thing to do. Possibly also because nobody else was gonna do it. He would've tried to somehow cancel the marriage, after the rescue... had it not gone so horribly south.
Has a hard time knowing when it'd be safer to give up. For better or worse, he just keeps trying. ("But what if it is possible?" "I can still fix this!") If the story had any mercy with him, this mindset wouldn't have led to him becoming the very demon he set out to destroy.
He's got a very strong sense of justice, and an equally powerful desire to do the right thing. Him talking about a "fair and just reward" wasn't him feeling entitled to some princess. In that moment, a "fair and just reward" in his eyes would've been being allowed to live.
Lost his sense of self when becoming Odio. Still struggles with it, especially after defeating the Sin of Odio. He has a hard time with remembering what he did, back there. Maybe it's better that way.
Very prone to burnout, but outright refuses to take any breaks. And forgets to take care of himself. Hopefully he'll realize the issues with having this lifestyle soon.

Just Some Random Bloody Crow Headcanons (Part…1?)
(I have been meaning to post these. They are mainly for my fan-fic on the boi).
Tumblr media
🩸 Crow became a true Vilebood at the age of 26. Before the transformation, he was a young man with prematurely silver hair, green eyes, and a scarred, pale face. After receiving the blood, his hair became white, his eyes changed to crimson, and his old scars vanished completely, as he had been perfected. He had a cold Pthumerian look with dark-ringed and sunken eyes, along with a lack of melanin.
Tumblr media
🩸 Crow’s strength before becoming a Vileblood was already inhuman and unnatural, but past the transformation, he was nearly invincible. Eileen herself hunted him for nearly 40 years and could not halt his rampage despite all her efforts.
🩸 Crow was mentally unstable before his Vileblood transformation, but it was heavily suppressed. He struggled with schizophrenic symptoms like psychosis and delusions that he couldn’t control. He also was severely PTSD-ridden, depressed, anxious, and paranoid in general, but didn’t seem to be aware of it, brushing everything off as emotional weakness that he needed to have under control.
His Vileblood transformation only sealed these illnesses into a single pool of madness that left Crow with a broken psyche.
🩸 Crow’s goal when following Annalise was to eliminate all hunters and bring his queen blood-dregs, which he did willingly and not because Annalise has ordered him to. He was her executioner, and shared in her desires for revenge against the Church, as well as the humans of Yharnam in general, but he came to her with this desire after she revealed her plans to him alone.
🩸 The general goal between Crow and Annalise was to bring forth the Child of Blood, a godlike being that would allow them to ascend to a higher state of acceptance and communion with the Great Ones. The child would be their witness and eventually their source of power—the power they needed to triumph against the world.
🩸 Crow and Annalise shared a symbiotic relationship—Annalise was restraint and Crow was chaos. Their wills were in alignment as individuals even in their wrath and madness. Though Crow served as Annalise’s knight and reaper, he did it of his own volition, even if there was a strain of emotional manipulation involved.
Simply put, Annalise encouraged his darkness and nourished his anger, and he carried out her more sinister plots. They enabled and nurtured the worst in one another, after years of shared misery.
🩸 Crow was initially raised to be the captain of Cainhurst’s royal guard and was therefore trained for the role from the moment he could walk.
🩸 Maria was Crow’s biological sister. The only other person besides Annalise and Eileen that Crow fought to emotionally bond to in his adulthood, but after years of separation and miscommunication, Crow’s trust in Maria’s love for him became shattered and strained.
🩸 This type of broken trust was also rampant in Crow’s relationship with Eileen, but not because she had nurtured it. It was entirely the result of his fractured mind.
🩸 Mental turmoil aside, Crow was the deadliest Hunter-of-Hunters that ever was, and was only surpassed by the Hunter that was still dream-bound.
🩸 Smol Crow was very cute and innocent.

How would your write a zukka proposal(with sokka proposing and making zuko a betrothal necklace?
I am actually not a huge fan of betrothal necklaces between zukka. Idk, the tradition seems more of a NWT thing and I like that they have their own way of life separate from the SWT and their traditions.
Also,,, knowing the betrothal necklace that belonged to Kya originally belonged to Kana and is now a family heirloom from their deceased mom… I just don’t see the romantic aspect for Sokka or Katara. Idk I think the necklace had a different meaning for them and a lot of mixed sentiments so yeah it’s just not something I headcanon sorry anon :)

YAYY YIPPEE HII/silly
(Sorry I didn't get to this till now it was late when I saw the ask and I didn't wanna answer it while I was half asleep. Also apparently tumblr doesn't let you edit asks anymore?? )
Leaving this under a cut tho cuz I know this shit will get LONG
ANYWAYS. The. Big one related to that™ post came from a combination of me wondering how the FUCK Cedric got the yellow phosphor needed to rebuild proto + consequences of the revival of characters my beloved
And uh. Yea any yellow phosphor he does end up getting his hands on I. DOUBT WOULD BE ENOUGH.
So uh. Proto being rebuilt with less yellow phosphor then is probably even remotely adviseable and that causing a whole ton of issues™ . And Cedric not even knowing cuz of the whole just. Scanning the blueprints in.
Also this is proto we're talking about here. There's no fucking way he'd tell anyone until shit got BAD.
LEMME JUST. Screenshots from when I was brainrotting over this in my first OneShot fixation
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And yea. The author probably would have had yellow phosphor stored in the lab somewhere just incase. (Esp with the head canon that. Proto predicted his own death a long time ago cuz. Prophet moment. And. Told the author and the prophet but never cedric and rue cuz everytime he went to he would get another vision of them trying to intervene and things only going worse)
BUT. since I want my angst goddammit. That part of the lab collapsed first and while Cedric was abled to salvage some yellow phosphor it ends up not being enough.
BUT LIKE. YEA. the way I always imagined Cedric and Rue actually finding out is. One of those moments where a bunch of errors and shit happens . Happens when him Cedric and Rue are walking in the refuge. And this one's bad enough that he can't just metaphorically grit his teeth through it like the other times this has happened in public. Once it's over Cedric and Rue are reasonably extremely concerned and. Fuckin rush him to the lab to try and see if there something they can do to fix this.
AND UH. That segways into another little detail of this headcanon. BECAUSE. he let this go on for so long with the damage all the errors and malfunctions overtime have caused. It probably would just be better to rebuild him and reuse the yellow phosphor they already have. BUT UH. since the situation around him being rebuilt made it so stressful the first time around, he. REALLY doesn't wanna do that again. I have. Such a vivid idea of a scene in my head for that. They're like. Talking with kip. And shes like halfway through saying the word rebuild and. She doesn't even get to finish he just cuts her off.
So what they end up doing is, in the meantime, using red phosphor to prevent any further damage until they can go to the barrens to get blue phosphor so said phosphor won't have to be replaced as often.
I ACTUALLY. made a dumb little chart of how. I imagined them looking different a few days ago
Tumblr media
I imagine that. Actually having a normal level of phosphor would. Definitely HELP. But. There would still be some issues partially because it's not one uniform type of phosphor and partially because of the damage the issues caused. And you couldnt pry this headcanon out of my cold dead hands. Consequences of the revival of characters go brrrrrrr
AND THEN UH. Don't get me started on the night terrors as a result of the whole squares thing headcanons.
that whole thing. Came from me going. "do robots still need sleep?" and ultimately deciding yes when i came up with the other headcanon that. only tamed robots dream.
When I made this headcanon I actually hadnt played solstice in a while, and for some reason I always remembered it as, him handing Niko the disk while the lower half of his body was already in the squares. which. no he actually hands it to them while the squares are directly behind him BUT. I still choose to remember it that way HSHSH. anyways uh. Important and related to this headcanon. He remembers what that feels likeeee. and hes probably the only oneee because in the solstice ending everyone only sayss they remember the squares surrounding themm not actually touching themmm and even robots who have gotten caught in them and liveed probably dont rememberrr especially since most of them arent tameddd and uhh even if he only remembers the beginning of ittt hes probably really good at filling in the gapss with the whole prophet thingg (thanks @malwarechips for that last idea/silly)
ANYWAYS UHm. so the whole. tamed robots dreaming thing right. HIM. having night terrors about the fucking squares.
I always imagined it as like. about a week after solstice, once things are starting to calm down and return to normal, one night cedric and rue wake up to proto just fuckin screaming at the top of his (metaphorical) lungs. And. they fuckin burst into his room to him tossing and turning in his sleep and then fucking jolting awake. and like.this keeps happening like. practically every other night. he's losing sleep over this shit. Which probably isn't helping all the other issues from the whole phosphor ordeal which he still hasn't told Cedric or Rue about at this point. And I mean. I doubt the nightmares would be restricted to just. in the mines. cuz dreams are weird like that esp when traumas involved AND UH. With the whole prophet thing. That. PROBABLY WOULDNT MIX WELL. (once again thanks eve for that last part/silly)
(On a lighter note I did have the thought of Cedric and Rue sleeping in his room one night and him actually finally getting a good nights sleep and thus that just. Becoming routine for them. The thing about my angsty headcanons is 99% of the time there's hurt/comfort potential in there)
I DO HAVE. some more lighthearted not angsty headcanons, but i wanna save most of those for their own posts cuz theyre small enough that i can actually draw them and finish them.
I will say one more though. this one is 100% projection but *points at proto* chronic migraines

hi! i sent an anon ask like months and month ago about pens for disco elysium characters and seeing that you got into bg3 i thought i would share my astarion pen ideas! the main one i can think of is a monteverde invincia in stealth black with a omniflex nib, filled with noodler's antietam ink. my super pricey option is one of the pilot vanishing points in matte black or burgundy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ouuu nice pen ideas!!! i definitely think astarion would go for a really pricey pen. the vanishing point really works for him! since he was a magistrate - it's the perfect "oh ive got a fancy job that involves a lot of writing" pen. (if it wasn't the case that he'd probably actually care how a pen writes considering his old job, i bet he'd even have one thats got shit quality control but is a pricey rich person brand... like a visconti. well known for being ~beautiful paperweights~ here are the visconti divina and visconti homo sapiens inferno)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
while i can't support noodler's with any confidence, i can make some other ink suggestions! i can totally see him using some super extra fancy blood colour ink - i think diamine has good options in that direction like dragon's blood and writer's blood >:) plus the bottles are pretty and very much suit him. the dragon one has SHIMMER!

I haven’t been insane about Vi enough lately so time to pour out some random thoughts. free association thinking time:
been thinking about her “It's my savings. I wanna be rich, okay? So I can travel, eat well, buy cool stuff… So no one can say I can't do something!” And none of the following will really be insightful or revelatory because it’s just what she says here but. yeah! that’s vi! the main reason she’s so big on money is because she has to be to get what she wants out of life! it’s what lets her say no to people telling her what to do, and that’s important to her because she has no choice but to be independent and support herself. because no one else will. No one at the Hive had anything positive or supportive to say about her being an explorer until she went out and did it (to a ridiculously successful degree, too. I have to wonder if/how it might’ve differed if she was on a regular accomplishment level team. not the one leading them all to the mission to the Hive). she never had a choice not to be. I could also see that being a little part of why she starts out not really being a teamwork person. past experiences have taught her she can’t rely on anyone else for support. (does make me wonder about what if she’d met Chubee before leaving the Hive. obviously she still would’ve left, but how might even a bit of support have changed other things?)
I feel like we don’t talk about the fact that The Beemerang Is Also Knives enough
ok so at one point there was this post talking about people with money and how it affects their life like. if you can afford to get a nanny then you can only do the fun parts of childcare and when you stop feeling like taking care of the kid you can just hand them to someone else to take them away. and again likely not especially revelatory but I would guess that’s the kind of way queen bianca handled the bees as her daughters (she does care about them. absolutely. but not in the same hands-on attached way as we usually associate with parents) and thinking about how that kind of treatment would then apply to vi....hm
in universes where discussions of Gender and Pronouns etc happen I think she has moments where she gets frustrated with the everything of Being Referred To and Having Complicated Identity She Hasn’t Quite Figured Yet and is like. gender is cancelled how dare you refer to me. but especially anyone else calls me a girl ever i will be stabbing them
also I think a lot about what circumstances she finds out about gayness/Gender being things. and whether she’s thought about it in herself before and whether she’d been dismissed on it/told it wasn’t a thing etc. most circumstances she ends up angry about the finding out times because of (un)consicious internal conflict stuff
underground tavern stuff implies she was definitely doing quests and stuff for money with them precanon. would kill to know what specifically it was. but also the first talk with utter implies that she was doing stuff off that questboard as well which is even more intriguing. utter’s spy also implies you don’t have to be an explorer to do them but otherwise you would think you did I feel. so again very curious what was up there
#inspired by that girl blorbos post and also me trying to think about where in the game they drop facts and such about precanon stuff w her#the urge to try and fic about the stuff between her leaving the hive and showing up at the association....strong again#'the hive didn't do anything' my ass. vi might have also been a jerk but it's just that she was the more obvious#easily labeled incident version of it. she was active while her treatment was the subtle passive neglect type of bad treatment#complex situation and also. yeah#an aquila original#vi bug fables#bug fables#also featuring funky gender lesbian stuff because thats not even headcanon. to me#hopefully the reasoning out stuff doesn't just come out like a load of nonsense#vi's one of those characters where I definitely feel comfortable in writing her on a basic level but some parts I'm super insecure about#and the part with her is in really capturing the complexities of her backstory and family issues#and the thing is it's like. I have to remind myself that some parts of how canon did her on that are actually decent#and I should pay attention to those complexities. but then also canon definitely did some of their 'this hasn't really been earned'#resolution stuff on her. mostly thinking about the postcanon dialogue with Bianca. it's jsut too much of a jump for that for me#and it's not even that I necessarily think bianca's dialogue is out of character. it's that I'm contemplating whether it would've#made more sense for vi to get angry about it. like.#ok so. sometimes i think about what coming out to my family might be like. and I've come to the conclusion that if they were just accepting#despite the fact that it would be best case scenario I'd be angry about it. because they've said some shitty stuff in the past. in general#they've made me feel unsafe about myself. so no actually you don't get to just suddenly be chill about it now fuck you.#it doesn't change the past hurts#and I could see Vi being like that too. even if part of her is happy about getting what she wanted to start with she's pissed about#only getting it now. with a side helping of also wondering if the approval /now/ is only because she's been so successful about it#what if she hadn't been so specially favored by elizant? what if she hadn't been on the team that saved the world? why did she (maybe) have#to earn the approval she should've had from the start?#also not gonna get into this one right now but tweaking her story with jaune to acknowledge that theyre both at fault in different ways#(again). would be nice#but now I'm definitely veering into repeating myself type rambling territory so

what happens when you erase a world ending event from the timeline. Does it actually fix the future or does it just break it
Because that's the thing about Silver, right?
Silver was born into an apocalypse. There was nothing that could be done to stop it. But then a strange man came and told him that he could prevent it from ever happening in the first place.
And then he did it! That world ending event wasn't just prevented, it was ERASED ENTIRELY. Sonic and his friends never experienced them. Silver doesn't remember it. The man who taught him to time travel never existed, and his best friend and him never met. He doesn't remember him or her.
But, supposedly, his future should be fixed. They erased the apocalypse! It didn't create a split timeline, no paradoxes, it's just gone. Problem solved.
Except it didn't stay fixed.
So he goes back to the past, from his perspective, for the first time. Who knows how he knows how to do this- he can't remember how he learned. He helps our heroes in the present, and then he goes back. But sometimes, when he goes back, his future is still broken, just in a new and different way. So he goes to the past again. And maybe this time when he goes home, it's finally the utopia it should be... but then it breaks again.
It's an endless cycle. Can he see it? Does he see the transitions from his perfect future turning back into despair?
Is he the only one? When he talks to other people there, do they act as if it's always been this way, even though he knows it wasn't?
He goes back again. And again. And again. But the future never stays. It's unstable. Something was erased from the timeline and nobody knows that, and now it is rewriting itself based on what's now happening in the present.
BECAUSE THAT IS THE THING, ISN'T IT??? The past is the present. Silver does not live in the present. Perhaps he did, before the events of 06, when he lived in the apocalypse... but that's not what it is anymore. And that's why his world is constantly fluctuating. It does not know what it should be. It changes based on the events of what's going on in Sonic's time, because it is actively still being written.
Silver is the only thing that remains from the original timeline. And now he is a ghost in his own world. Doomed by the fact that he does not live in a time that has finished being written, and his own awareness of that fact. And he does not know- and cannot learn- why this is happening. Because the reason was erased

if you were sick, i think kylar, whitney, robin and sydney would all bring you soup. however, they would all wear masks so they wouldn’t get sick too except for kylar, who would be licking the sweat off the nape of your feverish neck (they think consuming your germs makes you part of them)

istg one more beautiful piece of writing inspired by my self indulgent doodling and im gonna explode into one million pieces on fire <3
Round 3 fired and away! For your latest art, I'm sure we will have a perfectly normal conversation about this (and secret life tomorrow once I've watched it). Not sure if I need to put warnings on this, somewhat heavy on the selfwhump in the first bit
When Scarlet Pearl rose from the crater of Scott's sacrifice, she was untouched by the violence, as though the carnage of the previous day had not occured. Mindlessly she set about collecting the detrius of the casualties, a half-remembered habit of tidying up. A battered diamond chestplate, a bloody sword, a splintered bow. All with no body to bury. Nonetheless, she piled it into individual chests and heaped a mound of dirt over each. Sticking a sign over these graves, she left an epitaph for their ending.
"Scott, the star that went off with a bang"
"Martyn & Cleo, divided in life and death"
"Impulse & Bdubs, something wicked their way came"
"Etho & Joel, the boat burned, everything burned"
At last, with Jimmy and Tango's death already marked, she made her way back to her tower, a single leftover sign tucked away. One with her name on it. One last ending.
The lonely perches of her tower loomed out of her exhausted reach. It didn't seem worth the effort, to climb all the way up, to where pain had made its home in her heart. Scarlet Pearl wondered aloud, to no one but Tilly, if she should just dig her own grave and wait for death to claim her.
A reply unexpected came from the rustling in the brush.
"Who's there?" Scarlet Pearl called out, gripping her axe, then thought better of it. She did after all, call for the end. And Tilly didn't seem to mind whoever was out there, tail wagging and head tilted in confusion. A state of mind shared by Scarlet Pearl, for she was sure of being alone. She was cursed to be; victory had ensured it. She fell to her knees, letting the happy, silly look on Tilly fill the imminent void.
"You", whispered a voice that was at once familiar and foreign to her ears.
"That's not an answer mate", her head turned to the source of the voice.
Stepping out was an impossible figure. A worn blue hoodie, flowing brown hair and piercing grey eyes. Scarlet Pearl had to look away, she could not meet her mirror's gaze. Was it one of pity? Was it contempt? She could barely guess from a glimpse; would Death be so cruel to use herself in its image?
The question of who was an instinctive one, but the thought made her shudder, jumbling her words "who- why are you here?"
"You. I'm here for you."
"Get away from me!"
Shaking her head reflexively in denial, Scarlet Pearl fumbled for a weapon, finding the sign with her name on it and raised it in one shaking hand. In the depths of despair, her instincts found she would not let Death take her without a fight yet. She was Scarlet Pearl, undefeated and unscarred, survivor of the death games-
The apparition, as she was fully revealed in the moonlight, was no perfect replica of her. Patched up scrapes, bandaged wounds littering her unarmored skin. They looked to be in a real rough state, Scarlet Pearl could easily take on this version of her. But there was something about how her mirror carried themself, the gentleness in their voice, that paralyzed Scarlet Pearl. Not from fear or resignation. But an ugly, painful envy of the affection in her mirror's eyes.
How could she love or be loved ever again?
This Pearl sank to her knees in front of Scarlet Pearl, interlocking one of their hands. Scarlet Pearl was torn, her touch starved self cried out for the first human contact in days? Weeks-, wait human? That hand fit in hers so smoothly, they were undeniably her own.
"You're not Death" Scarlet Pearl said, feeling exceptionally foolish for being unable to recognise herself. Tilly clearly did, nuzzling between the two happily.
"I am no more Death than you are," the other Pearl agreed, gently prising the sign from her other hand, leaning it against the base of the tower then capturing her limp fingers with their own warm ones.
"I'm just the you, who you'd let lead you home."
The last gasp of adrenaline faded; oh Void she was so tired, so bone-deep tired of being alone. All Scarlet Pearl could do is clutch those hands, as though they'd fade away if she didn't.
But they were already were, the Pearl-that-was-her slowly becoming less substantial as their warmth lingered and spread.
"Don't leave me! How will I get home? Where even is a home for me?" she cried plaintively, the numbness wearing off, the pain sweeping in.
"Hold me in your heart. Hold your hurts; and hold closer the hope of their healing."
She could already feel her grasp slipping, her mauled mending mirror of a self, fading, no, melding into her. Gashes opened where swords have left their mark, bruises bloomed with a fresh vengeance and her heart felt like it was torn from her chest anew.
"Home is where they are waiting for you."
The last wisps of their fingers parted and Pearl collapsed, falling forwards-
Pearlescentmoon fell out of this world Pearlescentmoon joined the game
Into loving arms.

the way i wish there could be more good faith analysis and fic about billy having adopted racial prejudice from his dad and then learning to properly recognize it and grow past it in order become a better person. i wish there was more posts and fics that tackle the bullshit lucas has had to deal with as a black kid in small town indiana because the duffers never even considered it. but the sheer puritan black and white thinking and performative activism or moral virtue signaling or whatever the fuck that is so pervasive in this fandom means that even the few posts and fics that dare to try and actually tackle racism tend turn it into either a punishment narrative, are depressingly shallow about it, make it about hating and liking the 'right characters', or miss the mark entirely
like i get it, homophobia/transphobia is easier to explore and talk about for most fans. it's complex and multi-layered just like other types of oppression, but so much of fandom is queer and dedicated to shipping and labels that yeah, i can see how talking about it is just. easier for a lot of ppl. also a lot of fandom is white. and lots of white gays get weird about discussing racism in their spaces. y'know the deal, but i digress. from what i can see, very few ppl want to explore how racism affects our favorite characters and the stories they live in. i know some ppl are probably afraid of getting it wrong, or they don't know anything about it and don't feel like they should. it's like, my blorbo is queer and so am i, so why wouldn't i talk all day about that? i get it. but it honestly just means a lot when someone tries earnestly. i have read beautiful fics about trans love through hardship by cis authors and such genuine fics about connection in the face of racism's poison by white authors.
there is just SO much untapped potential in exploring lucas and max and billy and patrick and argyle and all the other characters directly and indirectly affected by bigotry and racism within the narrative that never got the acknowledgement it deserved. plus it's super weird being used as a 'gotcha!' by white fans that hate billy (as if poc fans of billy aren't capable of seeing it for the bullshit it is) or seeing lucas' treatment in the show get brushed aside like it's nothing or how argyle gets sidelined an awful lot in the fandom (and don't even get me started on how messy the classism in this fandom can be, the borderline erasure of eddie's poverty and its effects on who he is as a person in fic is insane sometimes)
anyway. idk if any of this makes sense, but i can count like maybe 3 good fics and maybe a dozen good posts about billy that actually address this in good faith and only maybe a dozen more for every other character i mentioned. and i desperately want more. i am brown and queer and i want healing and love for all of these characters and i am going to have to start churning out more of it myself at this rate.

do you have romantic hc on ghost? 👀👀
So I technically gave a few in this post, but I'll add more under the cut 👀 Bear in mind that I can"t envision Ghost being as functional as I'd like him to be because I really think he has issues given everything that happened to him. which is. fair.
Melts with affectionate gestures. Hugs, tender pats on his back? yea. He'll never admit it but it's painfully obvious.
He doesn't have a hard time reciprocating, but he has a hard time getting into an actual, genuine, undisturbed "romantic mood". he's almost always on edge it's... hard to get him to relax and just enjoy a quiet moment with his s/o. Really hard.
Tends to self-flagellate a lot but bottles it up. His partner probably is virtually the only person he allows getting a glimpse of what plagues him day-to-day. It's his literal biggest proof of trust and affection.
The way I envision Ghost, I imagine him being unable to live full-time with his partner, even after years of relationship. He needs undisturbed personal space at least a few days per week. I write this personally knowing some couples that chose to live in different places such as neighbouring flats, and still love each other dearly!
Corollary: boundaries are extremely important and a dealbreaker. No space for jokes not even lighthearted about anything grazing the surface of his traumas. it's hard to navigate sometimes. But one thing is for sure, he'll harbour the same respect for his partner.
