Forever betrayed that George Clooney didn't spend his massive budget on filming in Washington state so here's some old Seattle photos from the 30s/very early 40s to make me feel better (individual photos + explanations under the cut!)

Looking down from Capitol Hill over Lake Union towards Queen Anne

Overlooking Portage Bay and the UW campus

Seattle's Hoovertown in Elliot Bay, with the Kalakala ferry in the distance

The Kalakala up close and in person! There she is!! (Pier 2 near Fisherman's Wharf, facing downtown)

Aerial view of the UW campus, including Drumheller Fountain

I jokingly mentioned Dashcon 2 to some friends and it turns out that like half their FF14 guild lives in Toronto and they'd love to go??? And make it a whole thing? What the fuck I strongly emphasized that 1) my partner is deeply unenthusiastic about this trip and 2) if they want to vacation together we can go anywhere they want. And a fifth friend piped up with "I need an excuse to update my passport and my partner's got family in Michigan so we'll come too"

What the absolute fuck I'm going to Dashcon 2 I guess

Swam in the freezing cold ocean for 2 hours yesterday, scaled a bramble covered cliffside + got lost today, collected bones & litter, accidentally lost the bones, finished an amazing book, drank 2 cups of hot chocolate, every meal has been life-changing, gnocchi & custard pie in my near future this evening, at this very moment it is quietly raining and I am the fattest & happiest I’ve been in ages.

Keegan general headcannons

A/N: feeling peckish tonight so have some Keegan HC’s lol

Aight so first off, I know it’s a popular headcannon for a lot of the ghosts fandom and the COD fandom in general to HC that he’s from Texas or somewhere in the south but in all honesty…I see him as being from the PNW. Specifically from Seattle, Washington. I mean Rorke literally refers to him in the game as “our quiet friend” and if you know anything about people from Seattle Washington it’s that the “Seattle freeze” is a very real thing. In other words, they’re quiet, standoffish and don’t really go out of their way to interact with anyone unless they really need to.

I have a feeling that if Keegan didn’t join the military, he probably would have gone into the woodworking industry (can we imagine lumberjack Keegan? Swoon)

Despite being a Seattlite, he hates fish. He’ll eat anything you put in front of him without question, but any kind of fish is where he draws the line. He hated going to pike’s place market as a kid because of the fish scent and he totally didn’t accidentally get hit in the face with one of the flying fish or anything

He was very into grunge culture when he was a teenager. Given that I HC him being born in the mid to late 80’s, he more than likely would have been a teenager/early 20’s in the 90’s and grunge music was a perfect way for him to really let out some of that angst that he had.

He had a couple of piercings before he joined the military that he had to take out, I like to think that he had snakebites and a tongue piercing at some point. He still has an ear piercing even at his current point in the military. He just never wears it.

He’s quiet and reserved, but this man knows how to turn on the charm to make your panties DROP when he needs to.

Aside from Hesh, he has one of the nicest smiles on the ghosts team. It’s really a sight to behold when you get him grinning.

He has jet black hair and when it’s not buzzed, it looks a lot like Leonardo DiCaprio’s hair in titanic. He likes the old school 90’s cut, he had it when he was in his late 20’s and never really looked back. He trims it up a bit now that he’s older, but it doesn’t really change too much.

He has a little cabin in the woods just outside of Tacoma Washington, and he likes to seclude himself there when he’s on leave. Growing up in Seattle made him grow a special hatred for big city living, despite having fun in his teens.

Because we don’t know much about his involvement in SV, I like to think that he was just too young at the time to be involved in it. He’s a fairly newer member on the ghosts. In my opinion, when he joined he was freshly 19, and it was actually Ajax who saw something in him and took a chance on him who then decided to take him under his wing and mentor him so that he’d be a prime candidate for the ghosts. After that, the rest was history.

If we’re on the subject of when Keegan joined the ghosts, let’s talk about his age. As I said, he was probably late teens/early 20’s in the 90’s and was probably just a little too young to be involved in SV. Considering we don’t see him when Elias, Rorke, Ajax and Merrick go to South America (which happens around 2015 in the game) we can assume that he was probably late 30’s-early 40’s when we are introduced to him in the games. Maybe he’s even younger and is only a few years older than Hesh, who’s around 28 at the time. If I had to wager I’d say Keegan was maybe 36-37 when we first meet him in the game. Maybe a healthy 38. This might also explain why he’s so quiet, and why he’s able to slip away from Rorke undetected. Because he was so new, that Rorke didn’t think he’d have to worry about him and because the rest of the ghosts are still in the process of forming a bond with him.

Keegan’s favorite drink is an old fashioned.
