the landgraabs & the altos !
i didn't expect the landgraabs to turn out so attractive and presidential looking.
i don't know why vita is in politics. how is she going to win over the townsfolk? she looks like she's ready to throw her wine glass at anyone who even breathes wrong. i see a future in criminality for vita.

Ghost won’t let go of Soap. There’s blood and gray matter in his hands and his mask and he can’t let go.
He picked him up, someone had to, the ground was too frozen to dig up. Besides, Soap had family back home.
Ghost was the wrong choice.
Sure he seems the obvious one, tall, broad. He’s weak, under all of it, because Soap is cold in his arms and all he can do it’s rest his forehead on his.
He must look sickly comical, all 6.34 feet of Ghost tangled and curled around a dead man. He needs to hold him tight, tighter than he did. Ghost let go of him and now he’ll smell death for days.
They get back, the ride was silent.
Ghost takes all but one step on to the tarmac and collapses. Carefully, he’s got something valuable in his hands. His knees take the brunt of it.
Gaz is there, he’s been there the entire time. He’s saying something to Ghost, grabbing his shoulder, trying to look him in the eyes. Ghost is only looking at Soap.
His face was still frost nipped, pale, a bit blotchy. The ever flowing wound on his temple is turning black, blood thickening with air. That’s one thing about dead men, their wounds don’t scab.
Ghost’s a dead man, has been for a long time.
Gaz has given up, he’s talking to someone. Price is there too, he and Nikolai stand side by side like pillars. Ghost hasn’t heard a word from him since the order to retrieve Soap. He wonders if he regrets it.
There’s a medic, or a coroner. They’re similar enough in their profession. It’s who Gaz was talking to. They have a gurney, for Soap. Ghost won’t let go.
He doesn’t stop them from taking him away, but he can’t put him on gurney himself. He knows he’s letting them take him, knows he could stop them if he wanted to. He doesn’t know why he doesn’t try.
Ghost knows perfectly well why he can’t put him on the gurney though. He can’t send Soap to his grave.
Not again.

yes, it’s been three weeks, and yes, I’m still screaming about the fact that Imogen was at her lowest when she met laudna (was thinking of ending it all), and laudna had been roaming aimlessly for thirty years, utterly alone. No purpose, no reason for living, until she met the purple-haired sorcerer that saved her life no questions asked as soon as they first met, then chose to stick together forever, hold on to each other, sleep on the same bed for the next two years and help each other find answers to their miserable existence- and now, NOW that they finally got it together, got some stupid answers, and actually gained some power over the forces that had subdued them for years, KISSED, immediately- literally nine days into their relationship- the shitty world that they live in decided to make it clear and remind them that their days are numbered (significantly smaller numbers than they had accounted for) and that they won’t get to live their quiet life on a field, raise horses and just be. I AM OK ABOUT THAT. TOTALLY FINE.

i know i’ve literally only been talking about ships the past two days, but i just think that ashton and dorian had a nice dynamic. i just think that the fact that ashton was so willing to defend and even encourage dorian to protect cyrus was great. i think ashton rubbing off on dorian was amazing. i think the exu trio and ashton should just kiss. thats all
