Soap's self-preservation instincts must be dead and forgotten in a ditch somewhere because there is NO logical explanation for how he speaks to Ghost, one of the most prolific mercenaries of the century

(Aka an excuse for me to draw Medieval armor in detail. That's what this whole au is)

Ooh I love the ghost distribution system being entirely ghost centric. Everyone else is just a side character and/or subtle antagonist, trying to keep him the way he is (like someone being upset that another scooped up a local stray to bring them indoors)

It's his story! Even the reader is sort of a side character. Ghost is on a pilgrimage in my mind, the end of which he doesn't know, but the start of it was kicked off by us, by the one small kindness we offered.

Aside for the obvious religious metaphor of being unable to understand God's will, having Ghost as the pov character offers a lot of fun plot for me to play with. Honestly, the story is sort of building as something I didn't intend it to be. I've lost control of the reigns and now Ghost is just following the path in whatever direction he wants. He's on a little journey, and all I can do is pack him a snack for the road.

i apologize to anyone who knew me during 2021

Freeshell "More Tuna Please"

Do you want to make a ghost? How about a ghost of a cute catboy? No? Well here's a freeshell anyways!

He comes with a little tail animation, all of the recommended expressions, plus eye options for each, plus some extras I threw in for funsies, and a couple of arm poses. Altogether, the combination of all these pieces adds up to 135 surfaces (and you can use \i[] tags to add a sweat drop or blush to any surface that doesn't have them, for further flexibility!)

I also included a psd file that you can use to recolor him! You can use him as-is, but I think it would be really nice if every use of him made him a slightly different cat.

He's FREE go DOWNLOAD HIM NOW and MAKE A GHOST. Slap him into my Simplicity Template and pick a topic to write about, and you can make a ghost without doing ANY art and ALMOST NO CODING! You could have a ghost TOMORROW if you really wanted!!

If you're interested in making a quick, simple ghost with this, but you don't know where to start, feel free to chat with me and I'll indoctrinate you into the ghost-making ways :3c

oh god, learning about the origins of tobacco, or tabako, and the spirit that is being used and abused in these massive tobacco companies is actually breaking my heart.... my taino great grandmother died from a lung disease because of years of habitual tobacco smoking........ god i wish i could talk to her now

I never understood all the fuss surrounding the choice of a House by some magical talking hat, so let me tell you this: I'm keeping my House a secret ;) It is more fun that way, I enjoy people interpreting my words, actions, hobbies, and aspirations! I think I could've been sorted anywhere, really. I've met plenty of people that didn't seem to fit in with the typical traits. 

There's been a long discussion concerning this topic among some students, maybe you know Elizabeth and her friends? Such observant young ladies! Sometimes it feels like they know me better than I know myself! But let me take you through some of my thoughts. Once again, not naming my House ;)

Ravenclaw: my smarts! Need to solve a puzzle? I'm your man ghost! I'm also rather curious. As you know, I've travelled the world, have decades worth of learning behind my shoulders. Some argue that I am not that smart (which is, first of all, ouch?) but do I really have to have perfect grades for that? So what if I don't know the difference between French, Latin, and Greek? I am sharp at what I find interesting and what I might need in the future. And what about emotional intelligence? Plus, I think wearing blue would rather suit me! If all Ravenclaws were academically inclined — Ravenclaws would've won every since House Cup ever! 

Some people might want to put me in Slytherin for, er... Well, stealing a wand during my apprenticeship at Olivander's. To which I have to say: I doubt things like that have anything to do with a specific House, Slytherins are not bad people! I had my reasons and I am not proud of stealing anything. I should probably visit the current Mr. Olivander and explain myself... Most of the Slytherin traits do not fit me. Self-preservation especially, Merlin's beard, if only I hadn't gone to that cave alone! 

Gryffindor sounds like a good fit! I was described more than chivalrous on multiple occasions. And once again, bravely going into the cave alone, and then having the nerve to deal with the spiders, determined to get to the end... Although a lot of that was done because Anne never showed up. I was rather upset and now that I think about it, initially I didn't even want to go there alone at all... I am so glad I managed to track down that Auror that somebody mentioned a while ago, hoping to get Anne out of Azkaban. We are just waiting for the Ministry's reply at this point. But I digress.

And then Hufflepuff... I suppose that with trying to get Anne out we can speak of fairness and justice? But patience? Oh no. I might work hard on the things that I like but not everything else! Modesty and Loyalty? Oh, well... Those do not sound reassuring either...

My point is: there is no need to try and sort me into any of the House. I will be in whatever House you guys want me to be~ Speaking of which... If there is anybody who is willing to let me borrow their extra robes for when Thursdays come around when I am corporal — please, let me know! I do not want to alert the staff to my... visits, and since I still look like a 7th year, I think I can pass! 

*Richard writes this letter specifically without naming anybody just yet. He passes the letter to his Scribe, and as per their agreement earlier, the Scribe casts Geminio on the paper, successfully duplicating it. Satisfied, Richard proceeds to do separate introductions for both Indi and Anon on two different parchments, finishing with:*

repeating myself here i know but everytime i think about dave malloy’s moby dick musical i go a little wild in the brain...genuinely contains some of his best writing imo. like i think the high points of mdamr rival those of octet compositionally and preludes/comet literarily. have you LISTENED to ahab? sermon?? a squeeze of the hand?? plus there’s the variety of the more fun numbers with bosom friend and cetology and stubb kills a whale and the whale as a dish...it’s good writing! it’s good music!! or the numbers that blend drama/emotion with a deceptively sweet tune like shanty and the pacific...and then the serious/dramatic scenes. some of them are fucking gutting, brought to life and emotion even greater than melville’s original prose. whalesong interlude iii/roll on. the pequod meets the rachel (my GD i cannot listen to the pequod meets the rachel without getting weepy. i swear.) but between all the highest highs of the show there’s some deep and utter low points in the writing...i think the script is bloated, the show tries to say too much at once, it’s clumsy and meandering...and ugh, the fedallah monologue...overall the whole product as it is right now makes me so Frustrated cause i see SUCH promise in it (cause there’s So Much there already that’s amazing!!) but the combination of the high points with the lows and all the connective tissue between makes for a messy final product. i really really hope that the show gets revised and revived at some point in the future because i genuinely really want to (and hope to) see it succeed, i think it has something wonderful to offer audiences if it could just find its sea legs (as it were)

Honestly I got no respect for people who don't have room in their heart for both Sliggoo and Goodra. Why must they fight? Why can't we love both??? Why can't we appreciate the Pokemon families where every stage has a distinct personality and execution. Who the fuck is out here saying they prefer lines that are just a linear point A to point B progression. Same for Dragonair vs Dragonite Grovyle vs Sceptile Dusclops vs Dusknoir honestly y'all are just mega haters on middle stages without realizing it. Fanart that reinterprets Goodra as just Sliggoo But Longer And Bigger makes my eyes roll like a hampter wheel because I Cannot stand Pokemon lines where it's just the same guy getting bigger twice a la Pidgey or Vanillite.

can’t watch new stuff because all the cool shows i find are things my wife would like as well so i have to wait for when she’s home to watch them, so i’m just watching ghost files cuz i need *something* playing while i’m working on this blanket

like, why do ghost hunters never ask the ghosts inane stuff? like what’s their favorite color or what hobbies they like or stuff that isn’t “hey tell me all the miserable details of your suffering”?

like if ghosts existed why would they want to spend their afterlife telling the living all the unhappiest parts of their existence?

I. I can't wait to write a 100k fei du x Luo wenzhou fanfiction with Devil King Fei Du (thanks tteom lmao)

I think of Ghost like a really rich dessert. It's always a treat when you sit down and listen to 'em. There's so much to enjoy about it and it's almost overwhelming with how good the music is. Then you add in the characters and all of that good stuff??? I love this band.

here we go again~!

where are u D:

did u miss me bff 😝‼️

I fucking hate pmdd like I've been doing so well lately! my mental health has been good!! but then over the course of this afternoon my mood has just tanked. I'm not at the worst point yet but I know it's coming and I hate it. I don't want to have to deal with this shit every 3 weeks for the next 30 years. I have so many thoughts going round and round my head that I know will seem ridiculous to me in a weeks time but rn they feel very real. I'm so sensitive to rejection at this point in my cycle and having the person I like barely message me today has me feeling kinda shitty. I know how utterly juvenile that thought is, I really do, but that doesn't change the emotional impact its having on me rn!! I'm just glad I have doctors who have taken me seriously and we're trying different treatments but god I had really hoped that this was just a relic of my teen years

(edit: I'm okay, I'm not a danger to myself, just stressed depressed and tired)

Oh yeah..... midnight gospel be hitting.... sitting in my bed fuckin. Crying. Get a grip girl
