the ghosts fandom spending years waiting for the captain's name (because "the captain" is a mouthful), being given a name, and then collectively realising how fucking weird it feels to call him by anything but his rank is so funny to me

Honestly, I'm surprised that there aren't more Lockwood and Co Modern AUs / No Problem fics which adapt Skull as Lucy's online friend.
Only she can talk to him (she's the one who connects with him online and he's never met any of her irl friends or family, who also have never met him)
He's sarcastic as hell and feels like he has free reign to say all sorts of bullshit bc he knows the people involved will never hear him (not a feature of all internet friendship but can be)
Doesn't know his actual name, only knows him as 'Skull' (he doesn't share his real name online, maybe the nickname is derived from his username or icon)
A connection that can have elements of danger (99% of internet friendship is a blessing but talking to people online can be dangerous/toxic)
The risk can make it difficult to explain that despite the fact Skull could be planning to kill her if given the chance, he's still very important to her and probably her best friend
Idk, just food for thought. If anyone knows any fics which feature Skull in this role, do link them for me! I've never actually read one but it seems like too good an adaptation for nobody else to have ever thought of it lol

“You're not alone in this, yeah? You're not the only one. They matter to me too. I'm here to help, okay? My life for their peace. It's good that this short life of mine can be of help to people, right? It's the good thing to do. Anyways, you can let down the weight now. Don't carry it all alone. I know you're angry and you're right to be, but I don't want this for you, okay? I don't want it to burn you from within. My burden? What burden? I'm having a good time, see? I'm happy. Don't you see?” — Ellyus to Shaddiq, probably?

who the fuck folded this pocket square. why a patch for the breast pocket. why are the lapels so small
why unvented when they know they're going to be doing wack shit...
why are the sleeves of the JACKET short enough to seemingly be unbuttoned and folded up just once to be sticking out like this above the elbow, and why would you do this in the first place
and who folded THAT pocket square. unprofessional. disappointing. get a fucking tailor, idiots
