Man now I'm thinking of like. You know that one lady who made a marble gravestone of her and her wife embracing because they couldn't get married legally at the time or something? Just that but your boys because I was thinking sbout how you draw fabric and characters interacting, how you mentioned there was supposed to be a bad ending or something for your plot, and then The Laws Of That Time
(I keep missing all the plot posts somehow lmao really gotta check it all out)
ghost and soap are both immortals. for those aware (i.e. tf141), the initial thought is that, if anything, ghost is the ‘old’ immortal and soap is the ‘new’ immortal, because ghost is just broody and has definitely lived through hell, and while soap has as well, in his own way, his sunny disposition doesn’t really let that show. so, such a conclusion might make sense
but this isn’t the case. at all.
it becomes glaringly obvious what’s true when soap will make references to things decades or centuries old like it’s something modern and relevant and get confused when everyone looks at him funny. he has collections upon collections of artwork, some of the older works of which have ended up in museums and galleries which still, to this day, pisses soap off (“so what if i faked my death? it’s still my art”). he’ll mention famous historical figures like they were good friends, talk about famous historical events like they happened just yesterday, and in no sense does he really try to hide the fact from his friends and teammates that he’s just really fucking old
ghost, on the other hand, is still coming to terms with immortality. he talks about things like they’re old when, in reality, someone like price probably has a better memory than him concerning whatever it is. he’s also occasionally careless on missions about getting shot, or stabbed, or hurt in any way if it means succeeding because he can’t be killed, whereas soap isn’t as careless because it still hurts to have a bullet lodged in his body, and he’d rather not be in pain if he can help it
soap doesn’t know about ghost’s lack of experience as an immortal at first and is completely baffled when ghost just doesn’t get some of the things he talks about when he should because he’s immortal and—“so you weren’t a hermit, you just hadn’t been born yet?” “no, soap, we’re not all ancient”—then suddenly things start to make a little more sense
This is probably Too Niche, but to the vivid dreamers out there: do you ever get nostalgic for a place from your dreams that isn't real? I have recurring locations in my dreams that just. don't exist. And I find myself thinking about them or having "memories" about them even though they don't exist and never have. But they're real in my heart even though I'll never go there.
(tell me about these places in the tags, I'm so curious)
I was thinking "Oh man, I bet Cass is terrible at videogames" because game mechanics do NOT translate well to her skillset, and then I thought "But what about rhythm games like Beat Saber?" and that promptly led to "TIM INTRODUCES CASS TO DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION."

kinda insane for an au with Mafia wife bruce but he's married to sleazy mobster Carmine Falcone, and new reporter on the block, demoted to Gotham Times mule Clark Kent is DETERMINED to know who the mysterious but gorgeous shadow at Falcone's arm is. Why the seven smiling faces in the family portraits nailed gloriously in the intimdiating Wayne manor slowly dissapeared. Why it's single resident, the lonely butler of the former owner, doesn't like talking about them. Why Bruce Wayne hates talking about his children, and why THEY hate talking about HIM.
And most importantly, why does he want to steal Bruce Wayne away and love him properly?
