[Ghost with a reader who is mentally ill/neurodivergent]
[could be considered part of gen z! teddy]
▪︎ Disclaimer/A/N: this is my personal take on Ghost and how he’d be in this scenario and my personal experiences with my mental illness. This may not line up to your experience and that’s ok! I encourage you to write your own and share it <3
~
Hot take, Ghost may at first may not be able to handle it but the people who say he would leave you alone and let you fend for yourself? Wrong. Look at that man’s home life and growing up, he knows how bad it can get and will never let you slip that far down. He loves you and he’s gonna put in effort.
Ghost isn’t a stranger to mental illness, he’s in the military and has his own that he would never admit openly. However, sprinkle in neurodivergence and he’s kinda stumped.
You infodump him alot about your interests, like a ridiculous amount but he genuinely enjoys it and finds it relaxing to see you so passionate about something.
God help the asshole who interrupts you and asks “who cares?” Bc ghost is gonna stand up quicker than anyone realizes and fucking grabs the dude by the collar and shakes him around. He is extremely protective already but any blatant disrespect??? He absolutely will not stand for it.
Stimming is fun because he lets you grab his hands and mess with his fingers, tracing your fingers across his along with tracing his tattoo. He finds it soothing and will glare at anyone who side eyes you.
He likes when you both lay in bed, with you playing with his dog tags when you lay on his chest. It’s his favorite thing in the entire world and will blush if you bring it up.
He finds himself repeating back your phrases that you take from the internet, he doesn’t even realize he’s quoting some trend bc he doesn’t use social media.
In return you start to repeat HIM and now it’s an echo chamber. Why the fuck are you developing the Manchester accent now and why does it sound so authentic-
One of the best people to be around when you’re having a depressive episode, while he won’t make you talk, he won’t let you wallow by yourself. It isn’t a strange sight for Ghost to be in your room and just sit in your proximity. He’ll hold you if you want and tell you shitty puns but if not, that’s fine.
He knows your tells and when you start to get anxious or overwhelmed and will subtly press some kind of body part of his to yours, helping you ground yourself. It’s not strange to see him sit next to you everywhere with his legs spread out, his thigh up against yours while he talks to Soap.
He doesn’t take it to heart when you start to get snappy or bitter, he acknowledges that it’s the illness and will stare at you til you’re done and then ask if you want to go somewhere.
On days where you won’t leave your bed, he’ll make sure to bring you easy meals and water to make sure you’re at least taken care of before he leaves for the gym. Kissing you on your forehead and telling you to call if you need anything.
Ghost fucking spoils you, will buy you anything your little heart desires even if you have the money yourself. Bro will go on Etsy and find things he think you’d like and will buy it for you
He doesn’t understand the obsession with these fictional characters but hey if they make you happy
Ghost is your person, the one you go to when you’re feeling good and the one you go to when you’re at your lowest and he doesn’t care which one you’re feeling, he loves being that person for you. It makes him feel loved and important in ways he hasn’t felt in a very long time, if not ever.
You apologize so often about being a burden and he’ll always gently shake you by your shoulders and will remind you that “I would not be doing this if I didn’t want to, yeah? You’re my partner. We’re a team sweetheart. You’ll never be too much for me.”

˚☽˚⁀➷。˚⸙͎۪۫⋆ ༄Canine Therian Tipz *:・゚✧*:・゚
I've been a canine therian for years so I thought I'd share some things I use/have used.
⸙͎۪۫ buying dog toys/ accessories: you can go to any pet store and get chew stim toys which are also dog toys, those are fun. I personally like ropes more than rubber because sensory, but you can get whatever you like and if they question it, just say it's for your dog. as for accessories, obviously collars and leashes or anything else you can find.
⸙͎۪۫ playing fetch: I did this before I knew I was a therian, just me and my friends having fun but you can work on your quadratics (if u do that) or just feel more animalistic with the grass against your body. either way it's fun.
⸙͎۪۫ tails, furs, bones ext.: if you are into taxidermy you can easy get things like this to make you feel more animalistic, bone hunting is a fun activity as well. it gives an excuse to go outside as well.
⸙͎۪۫ making dens in the woods: me and my friends often go into the woods near us and build forts and dens. staying for hours and sitting around a fire or running around outside. it makes you feel much more animalistic. slowly working on building a shelter and den can make a good safe place to shift.
⸙͎۪۫ makeup: if you use makeup, you can accentuate your animalistic features through makeup, dirty brown tones and make fangs ext.
⸙͎۪۫ sharpening nails: you can either shave your real nails or use fake nails but giving yourself claw like nails can make you feel more like your kintype, be careful not to make them too long though as they might get caught when doing quadratics.
