City of Angels, headcanons
Listen, I’m really bored. Really, really bored. So even though I always think an author sharing headcanons can mess with the way the readers imagine them (don’t! Imagine them however you like, and then tell me about it!), I’m bored enough that I decided to make a super self-indulgent post with my personal COA headcanons.
I warned you, I said it was super duper self-indulgent.

Anna O’Byrne, Oklahoma!
I’ve always thought Anna was so gorgeous after seeing her in LND, so I was delighted to find her in blonde when I was writing blond Christine in COA.

Is this a stock photo of a blond college-age male? Yes, yes it is.

It’s hard to imagine what he may look like in his mask, although I think it’s important to point out that I am imagining he is wearing a hyper-realistic mask (one of these- so creepy check it out), one that really, really seems just almost real. I think if you could get both sides of Josh Piterman’s face in the Aussie version of Phantom in his wig and makeup, then you’d have what I might imagine him to be with a mask.
It’s the hair for me, guys.
And what does our friend look like unmasked?
Well… this was the most pivotal thing for me in writing this story. I wanted to have a really good idea of what Madeline saw, of what Campbell saw, of what Erik sees in himself. And it’s nearly impossible to imagine. I spent a very weird amount of time looking at pictures of skulls and trying to imagine them alive. The best I could do in the end was Egyptian mummified faces. Try to imagine them animated, speaking, looking, breathing.
If I had to pick something though, this video is a pretty excellent Erik.

Price who knew Simon before Roba. Who thought he was a good kid, disciplined solider and got along well with him.
Price who then found out about what happened and decided to check up on Simon when he was cleared to come back.
Price who thought Ghost’s aversion to food was a trauma response. Who thought him staying up all night was because of nightmares and joked that he needed to stop covering himself up when he went outside because, “you’re as pale as a ghost.”
Price who noticed Ghost’s irises were red, not brown, but always thought it was the trick of the light or the fact that his eye color was always dark.
Price who noticed his strange speed and strength. Who began to get a little concerned when Ghost started getting aggressive, how he always blamed it on him being “hungry”.
Eventually one night, after noticing how strange Ghost was acting, he went to confront him only to see Ghost eating what he assumed was a rat.
Price who had to take a moment on whether or not he should call for Ghost’s removal from the military due to psychological distress or to politely ask him what the fuck was going on.
Only for Ghost to look back at him shocked but with hungry eyes that Price could only describe as “not human”.
Ghost who had to explain what exactly happened with Roba and how he’s different, how strange everything’s been, how he can’t go out into the sun without feeling like he has a sunburn or how he sees better in pitch black darkness and how no matter how many times he tries to eat real food he just throws it back up, so he resorted to drinking blood.
Price who had to take a long time to sit with this information before he took action, making sure it was only him who knew about this and making sure Ghost never hurt anyone when he got too “hungry”.
Price who trained him to cope better with daylight and helped him with his new found strength and speed. Who told him the only people who could drink from were enemies and that if that wasn’t an option he’d give his own blood.
Price who now as the leader of the 141 is the only one who knows what Ghost really is and refuses to disclose other information about it to save his lieutenant from other experiments.

Listen just hear me out
I love the idea of Rooster and Hangman being exes and then getting back together but the idea of them being exes and then being friends after the mission is fucking hilarious
Just them embarrassing each other because now they can talk about it and it’s not as tense as it was, casually mentioning shit they did when they were together
Bob: who the hell was snoring so loud last night?
Jake, without looking up from his phone: Rooster
All of them, staring at Jake:
Jake: what?
Jake, pointing at Rooster: you snore like a bitch, I kinda thought you were dying the first time I stayed at your place
—
Jake: I’m wild man, I’m an animal in bed
Bradley: shut the fuck up you like holding hands in bed
PLEASE ITS SO PERFECT
