Simon:
This man has never felt genuine and pure love in years
I feel like if you have enough patience you could make it work with him
It took him so much time to come to terms with his feelings
He did little things tho that made you realised he cared
What made him fall for you was how resilient and kind you were
A little treat for you since you have been very good simps, just for funsies we're gonna pretend you already knew about some of the more questionable things he has done
Not his past, I mean the things that he feels bad about
You knew and you saw how he always seemed kind of scare of himself
And you always were there to remind him he was a good person
He started to do more for you in general cause he wanted to feel worthy of your kindness
He genuinely folds every time you just as much as smile at him
He knew he was deep in love when he started to have nightmares about losing you
He will try to, unconsciously, self sabotage the relationship at first
I feel like he has a history of people giving up on him because of how his past affects him and how hard it is for him to live a normal life
He's not like that great with physical affection
Not because he doesn't like it but because he doesn't knows much about it
Definitely enjoys being cuddle and being the little spoon but also likes to be able to be the big spoon too
Listen this man has been burned, shot, buried ecc he has a shit ton of scars and is very self conscious about them
Not only because of how they look but because they remind him of really fucked up stuff
So maybe at first he won't be that open about you touching him in certain points of his body but after a while it will start to make him feel much better
He swears your touch is full of literal magic
Would love to be able to cook for you but he is a public danger with those cooking skills
Can't fucking handle seeing you crying, he shuts down completely
Which makes him feel like shit because he can see how you feel let down by him not comforting you
You will literally gain scary dog rights for being with him. He death glares anything and anyone he deems bad or threatening to you
Ironically I don't think he's the possessive and jealous type
He doesn't gets jealous but he gets insecure because he always thinks about how he is "broken" and "a lot" to put up with and he kind of feels bad to drag you with him and his problems
Doesn't asks for it but needs a lot of reassuring words
He literally melts inside everytime you remind him you truly love him, that you're not getting tired of him, that you care about how he feels
He may not be one for really big demonstrations of love but he always remembers the little details
He remembers your favourite flower, he knows how you like your coffee or tea and if you don't like either he remembers your favourite drink
He knows your favourite book, movie and song
If you really pay attention he's quite romantic and attentive towards you
The good days with him are really fucking good but the bad ones are way over being just bad
He can be quite insensitive with how you feel, not because he doesn't cares tho
He never causes you harm on purpose is just that he gets really scared of getting attached
Definitely the type of person that gives you anything you say you like
You could be just complimenting a shirt of his but he just immediately gives it to you
He definitely compensates his bad traits with gifts
Weirdly enough loves to hold hands and to play with your fingers
And he loves the feeling of your hands caressing his face
If you wear any makeup he takes it off of you and would love for you to the same to him
When he's on a particularly rough mission the first thing he thinks of is you and most of the time that's what quite literally makes him survive
If you're not part of the 141 or the army in general he tries to keep you as far as possible from that part of his life
He has literal nightmares about you getting hurt because of his job
He loves to do normal everyday things with you cause it makes him feel he finally has some sort of normal and healthy life
Doesn't know how to sing but likes to sing along songs with you just because you make it look like fun
With time I genuinely think he would be more openly affectionate with you
Would tell you about his past on accident
Maybe you two were arguing about him being distant or careless when it comes to keep himself safe
One thing led to another and he said he was scared of you because he didn't want to be like his father and you told him he wasn't
Which led him to rant about how many similarities there are while unconsciously telling you about his trauma
Tbh after that things went definitely better
He feels genuinely happy only when he's with you
Loves going on car dates cause he likes to drive and talk with you about anything and everything
He could literally spend hours listening to you and looking at you with that lovestruck puppy dog eyes gaze
Sometimes he looks at you while sleeping and gets somewhere between being happy and sad
Cause he loves you literally so much it hurts and he doesn't always know how to show it to you so it just stays inside him and it aches
Doesn't want photos of you on him but always carries something like a bracelet or a necklace that doesn't have any meaning to you but it does remind him of you
He has pretty severe panic attacks and night terrors and before you he used to spend days alone in his room scared af and on the edge until he didn't force himself to shut it all down
Now he trust you won't leave him and feels so much safer and so much better knowing that you're there with him
Like I said, with time he gets so much better at doing stuff for you
He always leaves you handwritten notes (his handwriting is horrible) if he wakes up before you
Always makes sure that if you're sick or don't feel too well or if in general something hurts you get checked and get the best treatment
He's a very selfless person in that sense, he would do anything for you
If you're having like major life issues or something really big he will take a time off from work to be with you
He did it for his family and he will do it for you too
Always the first to apologise
Weirdly enough I think he likes going out and doing stuff outside with you
He especially likes to go movie hunting and has so many underground titles that are very good which he always get so excited to watch with you
König:
This man is so fucking perfect it's ridiculous
He has the looks like could kill you but it's actually a cinnamon roll kind of vibe
He was absolutely terrified of being in a relationship
He tends to put up this premade personality and has always been scared of being himself because everyone he has ever met has always told him his too much
Much like ghost no one has ever stick with him
Saying him or his problems are too much
Once you show him an ounce of love he is sold bro
This man will be yours forever and falls hard in love so don't think he will be playing around
You're the only one who gets to see the real könig and is something truly amazing
He's incredibly smart and loves to tell you cool facts about the things you like
He will quite literally fuel any obsession you may have
Makes you meet his grandma cause she's a really important part of his life and he trust you enough
He gets self conscious about his body and his appearance but would never doubt you when you say you like him and you find him beautiful
He tells you quite often how he only feels special or handsome with you and you may not get how important that is for him
He never feels like that with anyone, not even his grandma
He always feels like he takes too much space, like he's too loud or too soft
But with you he really feels like nothing can get to him
Loves to cook for you and knows every recipe that you like
He's always so proud of everything you do and brags about you with everyone and anyone
He tends to have panic attacks and mental breakdowns very easily and everytime it happens he goes to you cause he knows he can be vulnerable around you
Enjoys staying at home dates rather than going out
He loves to have book dates, as he calls them, where both of you pick a book for each other to read and comment about it
Takes very seriously any problem or difficulty you may have
He hardly needs to apologise cause he always likes to talk through things instead of just arguing
You could literally give your entire heart to this man and I can guarantee you'll never regret it
Always makes breakfast for both and if he's at home after a long mission he brings yours to bed so you can have a lazy morning
He loves to dance with you while doing house chores and definitely plays piano for you
Naps with you everywhere at any time of the day, he literally uses you as his own personal Teddy bear
He gives me gomez addams in love vibes guys
He literally can and will rip the head off of anyone who dares to say something mean to you
You're gonna have to defend him tho cause he's not doing that shit for himself
If he gets sick, he tries to bother you as little as possible and even if it breaks his heart he keeps away from you so you don't get sick too
Doesn't do the same when you're sick tho
If you're sick he will spend every minute of the day doting over you
100% celebrates anniversaries, valentines days and your birthdays as if they were world known holidays
Unfortunately I do think he would be the jealous type
Specially if you're part of the 141
If he sees you talking with ghost or hanging out with soap he will get a sickening feeling of dread in his guts
He just thinks about all the things they have that he doesn't and how much more attractive or even easier to be are the others in confront
Needs a lot of reassurance for sure
Overall he's like so sweet and so caring that it makes you feel like he has got out of some kind of disney movie
He definitely didn't asked you out but spent months staring at you with that lovestruck look
He followed your every word like a lost puppy
Never expected for you to like him, he come to terms with the fact that you might never like him like he did
Like fr guys he was happy to just be around you

In 2019, Sandra Hüller, one of Germany’s foremost stage and film actors, starred as Hamlet in a production at the Schauspielhaus Bochum, in the Ruhr Valley. For most performers, the part is challenge enough. But as Hüller prepared for the role with the theatre’s artistic director, Johan Simons, their discussions kept drifting to the character who animates Hamlet’s fantasies of revenge: his father’s ghost. In most stagings, ghastly makeup and lighting convey that the character is spectral. Could this lingering spirit be conjured without melodramatic clichés? Simons and Hüller agreed that it would be potent for the father to rise from within the son—speaking through him. As Simons recently described the conceit, “The father is so deep in your soul that you can’t get away from him—he is always in you.”
In the opening scene of the modern-dress, German-language production, Hüller stood alone onstage, her hands hanging uselessly by her sides, her eyes downcast. In a trembling near-whisper, she spoke lines that Shakespeare originally wrote for Hamlet’s friend Horatio: “If there be any good thing to be done, / That may to thee do ease and grace to me, / Speak to me.” Hüller smiled faintly to hold back tears, and her voice broke as she muttered, “You are here, you are here.”
When it came time for Hamlet’s encounter with the Ghost, an eerie chord resounded, and Hüller’s soft, breathy voice suddenly dropped an octave. She was no longer Hamlet, or not entirely. “Pity me not!” Hüller said, her eyes hardening and her voice quickening as she channelled the Ghost: “I am thy father’s spirit, / Doom’d for a certain term to walk the night, / And for the day confined to fast in fires, / Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature / Are burnt and purged away.” As Hüller played it, Hamlet wasn’t seeing a ghost; he was being possessed by it. Hüller’s previously gentle demeanor was displaced by lurching motion, and when the Ghost furiously commanded his son’s obedience—“List, list, O, list!” in Shakespeare’s original—she practically vomited up the words: “Hör, hör, o, hör! ”
The scene was as scary to watch as any horror movie, but it also felt profound: the sins of the old were literally infecting the bodies of the young, emphasizing the generational rot at the heart of the play. German critics hailed Hüller’s performance as revelatory—not just as an examination of character but as an exploration of the capacities of stage art. Der Spiegel said that witnessing Hüller wrestle with Hamlet and the Ghost simultaneously was like watching “an exorcism.”
Before the show opened, Hüller read an essay that portrayed “Hamlet” as a critique of the conventions of Renaissance revenge tragedy—and of the society from which those conventions emerged. “Shakespeare wrote the play at the edge of these times when blood revenge was still a thing,” she told me recently. “Shakespeare’s showing it one more time, but in the most absurd way—because everybody’s dead at the end. The play is saying, ‘This can’t be the way.’ ” At the Schauspielhaus Bochum, the climactic duel between Hamlet and Laertes swerved away from physical violence: neither combatant would make the first move. Instead, Hüller and Dominik Dos-Reis, the actor playing Laertes, hurled the phrase “fang an”—“start”—back and forth, battling not just each other but the demand for a bloody confrontation. The moment culminated, as it does in Shakespeare’s text, in an unexpected gesture of forgiveness. “They shake hands before they die, and say, ‘We don’t want to be like our fathers,’ ” Hüller said. “And, to me, that is something that applied to the world as it is now. That seemed to be something that I could identify with. Not to redo all the things that our ancestors have done before but to change them—to break the chain.”
Hüller liked that the production showed the effect of violence without actually showing violence. “When you show violence, I believe, it must have a strong form,” she told me. “You can’t treat it like any other sort of narrative in a story. It means something when you show a rape onstage, or when somebody gets slapped in the face onstage. It is crossing a line.” Her voice, usually soft, shifted to a more forceful register. “I have heard a lot of directors point out, ‘Yeah, but that’s what’s in the story,’ ” she continued. “I know what’s in the story. But still, I can decide, because I am the artist, what to show of it, and what not. I can decide how I want to shape the world that we are building onstage.”
