jus imagine infecting owner!price and pup!gaz w the sleepy girl agenda.
always pulling price back into bed, locking your chubby thighs around his waist. he just can't deny you. his cute girl, all sleepy and soft for him. he loves how sweet you are in the mornings, nuzzling into his neck, the comfortable weight of your body ontop of his, arms wrapped around your waist. he likes to act like he's getting up just so he can hear you whine, watch as you snuggle so close to him it's as if you're trying to crawl inside him.
with kyle it's the opposite. the pup works hard, keeping you and price safe, training, doing the manual chores around the house. he needs his naps, and for those he needs you. a pretty weighted blanket. he turns on your favourite movie, pulling you to rest your head on your chest. the whole time he idly plays with your hair, waiting until you fall asleep to join you.

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS 2x07 "Those Old Scientists"
So this tweet made a real good point and got me thinking about this scene:
As mentioned in their tweet, "you don't 'beg for mercy' for a job," and here he sounds so scared and desperate, like he's had to do this A LOT before with the directors and it's so... sad.
(more under the cut)
Before he finds out the truth about Eden, he believed they saved him from his former life and gave him new opportunities to continue his dreams, but do you think having to needlessly beg to keep your position as literally being the face of Eden out of fear you'll be replaced and thrown right back out to your old life is a so called dream come true?
Eden even made a trailer for a movie about his life to fame, showing how everyone was rejecting him as a person, which they definitely made it more simplified like I KNOW he was getting way worse treatment than what was shown.
My main point is that despite believing in Eden's motives (before knowing the truth), he still wasn't truly happy deep down. He was STILL getting rejected and slandered by society, and he knew that deep down, so it's not surprising how the possibility of him losing his job made him have a whole breakdown and do the things he did to try and cope.
He quite literally has no one to lean to and hasn't had anyone since showing up to Eden besides the directors (because he probably believed they were treating him fairly and with respect), but... yeah.
He wanted to make a difference, to give hope to hybrids, and he thought he was doing just that. Despite the way the directors and everyone thought of him, despite how alone he felt, he still thought he was achieving his dreams and sharing that onto others
and yet... he was being used this entire time. None of it was true, all the hard work and the things he went through was for nothing.
Everything that Eden has done, and he was the face of it all... it's just devastating.
Okay, I see your "Ghost acts like nothing is wrong until he passes out when he's sick" and raise you "Ghost who finally feels safe with the people in his life that he's actually so needy when sick it's almost endearing"
Don't get me wrong, Ghost who refuses to acknowledge he's sick is great and makes perfect sense. He's a victim of abuse his entire life, so being sick means he's weak and being weak makes him vulnerable.
But I raise you a Ghost who has finally found a safe place. He's surrounded by good, caring people. So he takes advantage of that whenever he can
The 141 find it endearing cause it's his own weird way of saying "I trust you"
Ghost just hiding in Price's office when he's caught the flu. It's not bad enough that he needs strict bed rest, but enough that he needs a little encouragement to "get through the rest of those and then head to bed"
Ghost taking refuge in Gaz's room when he's got a migraine cause the way Gaz's room is laid out makes it perfect for not allowing as much light inside
Ghost taking over Soap's room when he's got something a bit more serious, like maybe an injury he's recovering from. Soap is so good at keeping track of bandage changes and being "nurse" when Ghost is stubborn and refuses to go to the med bay again
Ghost just being whiny and needy when sick with a head cold. Him taking advantage of their willingness to dote on him, especially Soap.
