He does give strong dad vibes in every interview (well he is one of course) but I thought his outfits for the few new era press interviews he did were pretty good especially that brown two piece when he was sitting with Sophie McShera and Micheal Fox.
I gotta be real, it’s not my favorite color to ever exist but he did look sharp, yep! Do we think he dressed himself there? 😂 Honestly, I’m such a basic bitch. I would’ve loved for him to remove that jacket and just rock the tee underneath. I’m a sucker for a man in a plain tee. Yeah yeah, gotta look nice for press, I get it, but I’m always gonna be basic on the inside. 🤓
Here’s hoping the new projects bring with them some new press and new outfits to critique. 🤞
Thomas, Sybil & Matthew would’ve been such a powerful and chaotic friendship. Everyone’s reaction to seeing the three of them together the first time. Matthew and Sybil defending Thomas. The three of them sitting down and chatting. Matthew and Sybil constantly pulling Thomas away from work or saying they need Thomas for something. All of them talking about their love lives after Thomas opens up to them. The angst of Thomas being the last one standing.
Just thought about Ghost learning to enjoy small things (mostly food) in his life through coffee.
//Fluff
So here is the idea:
Ghost always preferred tea over coffee.
Tea was something soothing and calming, something he could drink to fall asleep easier. He enjoyed the taste which was kind of herbal and pleasant on his tongue. Even the process of making it, the routine of waiting for the tea leaves to do their magic, pouring just a bit of milk, waiting for the tea to cool off just a bit so it didn’t burn his lips.
Tea was a luxury, something he did because he wanted to, but he also did it rarely for the exact same reason. He rarely felt the need to satisfy himself with things he just simply enjoy.
Coffee on the other hand was a necessity. Something he had to pour into himself usually boiling hot and straight out of the kettle. The beverage bitter and heavy on his pallet, almost nauseating and leaving this awful aftertaste in his mouth.
But it was necessary for him to drink it. He needed it to wake up and get through the day after a night of terrors.
He for a long time didn’t understand how Soap could enjoy this.
But then he noticed Soap making his coffee every morning.
Taking his time every morning.
Sometimes adding various sirups
chocolate,
ice,
whipped cream.
Ghost at some points doubted if Soap was for sure still drinking coffee.
But he was curious, so one morning he asked Soap to make him a cup too.
And he was surprised when Johnny asked him “With what Lt?”.
And Ghost realized that he had no idea what he actually enjoyed. He never payed attention to those things, he never actually bought anything for himself ‘just because he thought he would like it’ accept tea.
So he told Soap to surprise him. And he actually did.
Because when the coffee that Soap made wasn’t even close to his tea- he did enjoy it.
It was sweet, creamy and cool- maybe even refreshing.
So he began to ask Soap for coffee every morning. And with time he developed a taste gor things. An enjoyment for chocolate latte with whipped cream and brown sugar sprinkled on top.
Yes it was atrocious and probably shouldn’t even be called a coffee. But he liked it.
And he noticed that Johnny started to serve him small snacks with his latte.
Some he despised, some he liked and some became his absolute favorite. Soap would always get him more of those which made Ghost mutter in approval or close his eyes in enjoyment.
Soon Soap could vaguely say which snacks Ghost would enjoy.
They learned Ghost likes milk chocolate but not dark chocolate. He didn’t like gummies and banana flavored things- it tastes artificial.
Soap cringed when he bought some licorice candy for Ghost, just to fuck with him a bit just to realize that the bastard actually loved that black excuse of a candy.
But what was nice was the fact that when they were both on supply runs, Ghost began to… kind of look longer at things at the store. He never actually took those things himself- but Soap was always sure to snatch those things and put them in their cart.
Ghost silently appreciated that.
It was a long road for Ghost to kearn that he can have nice things just because he feels like it.
But one special day in a grocery store, when he and Soap were already heading to check out. Ghost stopped and grabbed a pack of marshmallows and before he put it in the cart he looked at Soap like he would be denied this sweet snack.
But Soap only smiled at him.
“Didn’t know you like marshmallows, Lt.”
“I don’t know if I do… I never had them.”
“Well, it’s a great time to try!”
And Soap smiled the whole way to base, because Ghost finally wanted something for himself.
I don’t know what I mean by that, I just kind of went with the flow. Sometimes I Just get the urge to write about those two, you know?
