I know last pic is Ai but I found it hot so I posted.

When there isn’t 20 new fics for me to read after refreshing the tag (I just finished reading everything and have absolutely no patience)

i think simon's hair would get pretty scruffy when it grows out on leave...

(speedpaint under the cut!)

AAAA

◆ old sketches ◆

Idk if I should put a cw but... mention of murder and spoilers for s1

Okay, okay, hear me out

Bear, who felt like God had taken his firstborn daughter as punishment for the murder of an innocent child during a mission, saved a 13 y.o. girl, though he wanted to bring Rip home more than anyone else on the team.

And Caulder, who literally once rejected Rip as his commander because of a broken trust, shot Nasry and stopped him from killing Rip. 

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Tw for Simon’s comic backstory, his dad, and abelism but…

I feel like Simon flapped his hands as a stim when he was a little kid, but his father would hit him or yell at him for doing it because it made him “look special” or something, so now Simon just doesn’t stim, and if he does then it’s always something super small. Like he’ll rub the fabric of his sleeves between his thumb and index finger but that’s about it. It’s been beaten into his head by not just his father, but his life experiences that stimming is bad and something he should suppress.

As top tier as Ghost making his own masks is, what if he had a significant other who's a costume designer?

You've been with Ghost since his skull balaclava days and eventually decide he needs an upgrade. Since this is your profession, you put a lot of effort into making your man look as unnerving as possible while still being functional.

You examine countless photos of human skulls to make sure his skull has all the right slopes and curves, also taking special care to carve out each individual tooth. You pick a lightweight, breathable fabric and make a second mask in a tan color for his “desert collection,” as you like to refer to it.

The paint job and stitching are purposefully given a kind of homemade look to really sell the illusion that this is a man who sits in the dark, silently crafting masks like a deranged psychopath. In reality, he was watching television on the couch with you in his lap as you lovingly stitched the mask together. It has a secret little smooch on the inside of the skull.

One day, you visit Ghost on base for the first time. He’s still in a meeting with Price, but fortunately for you, Soap and Kyle are more than happy to meet you at the gate and escort you around in the meantime. They bombard you with questions, but in their excitement, they fail to ask what you do for a living.

Ghost and Price have wrapped up their debrief and are waiting outside the captain’s office. The sergeants flank both sides of you as they walk you over. When you turn the corner and spot Ghost, your face is stricken with abject horror. The others wonder if you’ve never seen Ghost in his mask and are taken aback by his appearance. They’re only half right.

“Simon, you said it matched!”

“It does.”

“You’re wearing black, and the mask is dark grey. It’s not the same.”

“Close enough, love.”

“It’s...never mind. I’ll just make you another one in the right color.”

“Don’t need two black ones.”

“I just told you it’s dark grey, not black. They're completely different.”

So that’s how the source of Ghost’s masks is revealed and how the rest of the team got their very own personalized skull masks.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS

THEY CAN'T LET IT GO EITHEEEER
