SIMONNNNN
CW: Nothin much— just me being abnormal about Ghost’s mask again, because amidst all my WIPs and shit I have to do, that’s apparently where my brain wants to focus rn.
Hiya. Hullo. I’ve got a lot of deadlines coming up that I’m procrastinating. So you know what that means?
✨More Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley mask headcannons✨ ft. me yapping about two of my WIPs at the very end (one Ghoap, and one König x reader).
(I stg masks aren’t even my thing, they just give me so many brain worms for no good reason.)
So I’ve yapped about Ghost wearing a mask when he’s on leave before— but I’ve got a new HC about it.
He doesn’t wear one of those black medical masks just to hide his facial scarring.
That’s a part of it, of course. Sometimes he just wants to keep his head down and get whatever he needs from the shops without having some bright eyed kid staring blatantly at the scars marring his face like they haven’t seen anything like it before (they probably haven’t. He doesn’t blame them for it, he remembers when he was first well enough to stumble from his bed in medical towards the nearest bathroom, and just stared and stared at the messy stitches going from the middle of his cheekbone, just below his eye, and curved down to the now missing chunk of his top lip). Or someone older than him poorly concealing their harsh whispers with a slight turn of their head towards whoever they were shopping with.
But that’s not the only reason.
Hiii i loved your post about ghost's mask hcs!! i love when ghosts mask gets used in narratives in fics and stuff too! I was wondering if you would comment on other "popular" headcanons for simon? (some ive seen: he has a sweet tooth, hes blonde, etc etc) do you prefer 09 ghost or reboog ghost? do you mix them up in terms of story/headcanons etc?
Sorry if i sound overbearing/asked too much lol, i just looove when people yap and make headcanons like this!! obviously answer whatever you like!
have a good day :-) 💖
Post this ask is about
Hi! Thanks for the ask— and it’s not too much at all. I welcome anything that lets me yap more about the 141, lol.
I’m going to answer your questions a bit out of order, just for simplicity’s sake.
So— I actually prefer reboot Ghost in general, but I love aspects about both characters. The first CoD games that I played were the MW reboots (solely for Soap), and because of that I tend to favour those versions of the characters.
That being said, I do like to mash both versions of the characters together. As much as I love the MW remakes, they uh, aren’t amazing at explaining most of the characters backstories. Which is less than ideal for me, because I’m the sort of writer that bases my characterizations on how I think their backstories molded them.
It probably fucks up the timeline, but I do tend to just tack on 09 Ghost’s backstory to 22 Ghost. But hey. A little wonky time logic is more preferable to me than just a big ol’ square of nothing on the timeline. (Plus it gives me more ammo for angst.)
I’m a bit new to the fandom (relatively speaking) so I don’t know too many popular HCs— but I’ll do my best. :>
CW: Discussion of/illusions to smut, mostly I just want to yap about Ghost’s mask again, and elements of fluff because I can’t help myself
There’s nothin’ graphic but like, MDNI, 18+
Thanks.
So I just saw a post about someone’s headcannons about Ghost, and I wanted to throw my own two cents about my own HCs out into the void.
A lot of people take a shine to Ghost because of his like, outwardly mysterious vibes and his mask. Which of course means there’s a lot of people with mask kinks just sort of surrounding him.
Resulting in a lot of like, smut (and thirst trap content) about his mask.
Which I mean, is it my thing? No.
And honestly, it’s why I didn’t really like Ghost as a character until I got my hands on the 09 Ghost lore comics— because I like to have a bit more depth to chew on when I’m writing.
But that being said, I understand why he gets characterized that way, and it doesn’t bother me that people do. Well I mean, it does a little, because again there’s so much nuance to play with and pick apart that I wished more people picked at (same with Gaz, but that’s another post).
Anyway— point is, I once again feel like Ghost’s mask could be used as an interesting narrative tool. :>
Ghost but make him Punisher
Ghost's Section
Main post & Soap, Price, and Gaz’s parts: here
Ghost — Acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation (regular and a sort of modified version, I’ll explain later), and receiving gifts.
CW: None, just snippets of fluff plot bunnies, not a fic
Been working on characterization in my brain for the 141, and I’m once again, not normal™️ about it. :]
This is a long one folks. Like, super super long— might want to grab a snack/beverage first sort of long.
Please feel free to ask me to clarify anything, or chime in with your own thoughts/headcannons (HCs).
(I promise I don’t bite :> )
I am always looking to flesh out my understanding of the boys, and love adding little quirks and HCs about them much like a penguin that keeps on collecting rocks.
Love languages are a cheat sheet for me.
When you can pin down roundabouts what sort of affection would be most meaningful for a character, it helps you easily move on from there howabouts they’d act when in a romantic relationship (of course how the relationship between them beforehand matters a lot too in regards to the dynamic, but in the case of multi-shipping, or an x reader or what have you, it’s good to have some basic guidelines for how that character would behave).
In case you want to skip my mildly unhinged breakdown of the boys, here’s how I think they’d show affection, in brief. (Well, that and what ways they’d most appreciate receiving it.)
Starting with my favourite, and therefore the most easy for me to pin down, Soap.
Soap — Physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, and to a much lesser extent, quality time.
Ghost — Acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation (regular and a sort of modified version, I’ll explain later), and receiving gifts.
Price — Quality time, acts of service/receiving gifts, and to a lesser extent physical touch.
Gaz — Words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, and acts of service.
Each section is broken up by a lil’ header— so feel free to skip around (though I do recommend reading Soap's before Gaz's, and Ghost's before Price's).
(Apologies in advance for any spelling errors. English is my first language, and I am not great at it... Probably didn't help that I literally wrote parts of this with my eyes closed because I was falling asleep while typing on my phone.)
Please enjoy. :>
