Johnny lives ok. He does. He has a scar. His hair got shaved some for the surgery, but it's back to normal. The scar, however, is visible as hair doesn't grow there.
As time goes on, Johnny notices how much Simon tends to fixate on the scar right? so he starts to let his hair grow out.
Now its not uncommon for his sides to get a lil unkempt sometimes especially if theyre busy, but then Ghost starts to notice its more than usual
Ghost: What are you doing?
Johnny: I'm finishing up some reports-
Ghost: No. With your hair.
Johnny: I… (licks his lips, glances away for a moment) I just felt like ah change.
Ghost: (steps closer, arms crossed, eyebrows furrowed) (he grabs the longer part of Johnny's hair and tilts his head to the side)
Johnny: (definitely surpresses a slight groan) What? Thought you'd like me losing my stupid mohawk-
Ghost: No.
(silence for a moment while Ghost just continues to semi glare at Johnny, who keeps trying to look away but keeps glancing back)
Johnny: … ya know the scar's kinda ugly-
Ghost: Do you think it's ugly?
Johnny: -and it- … I… (shoulders slump a bit) Not necessarily
Ghost: Since when do you care about what other people think?
Johnny: (slightly quieter) When it's you.
Ghost: (lets go of Johnny's hair, takes a tiny step back) … And why do you think I think it's ugly?
Johnny: C'mon, don't lie tah me. I've seen the way you stare at eht.
Ghost: Johnny, that scar means you're alive.
Johnny: (slight wide eye staring)
Ghost: Whether you hide it or not, those memories aren't leaving me anytime soon. Sometimes looking at the scar is the only thing that helps remind me you lived and that I'm not seeing a shadow of you.
Johnny: … oh.
Ghost: (steps forward again, I picture Johnny was sitting and Ghost like, burst into his room at the start of this. So Ghost leans down and gently rests his forehead on the top of Johnny's head)
Johnny: (reaches up and rests his hand on the back of Ghost's neck)
Ghost: Shave your damn head.
Johnny: Sure thing LT.

"there didn't seem to be a wolverine/morph fandom before X-Men 97 came out, surely that means there wasn't any romantic subtext in TAS, I'm good to start writing a pre-relationship fic set during 97 before I've finished my rewatch," I said
you know, like an idiot

hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

one of my friends is a biologist & i was really amused hearing some of her stories yesterday because they put into context just how believable newt's kaiju drift is as Shit A Biologist Would Do. like my friend has personally met both a guy who got infected with a botfly larva and didn't do anything to remove it (because he just didn't mind), and another guy who identified a tapeworm species by intentionally exposing himself to it (he had it narrowed down to 2 species and needed to know if it was the one that would infect humans) (it was)
