lung cancer fears this man

vanish into you author here (but u already know that cleave LOL)
i’m thinking about how hair is known to be one of the mediums ghosts are able to easily manipulate in ghosts folklore (at least from what i’ve read)
hehe. hehehehehehhehehehehehe
izzy. izzy, what are you planning. i'm scared.
my initial thoughts:
mi-nyeo's hair getting even longer. like to-the-floor long.
ji-yeong's highlights glowing at night/in the dark.
deok-su steals picks up a hairband from one of the other dead players. just because i want to see his hair up again.
sang-woo's bangs getting longer when he's agitated (like whenever he sees in-ho or something) .
ali's hair getting fluffier or curlier when he's upset.
Santos deffo gives big soccer lesbian vibes, I could see her playing field hockey or lacrosse too: the girls who run around in fields with sticks are brutal. but the gymnast idea really gives ties to the CSA Santos experienced, with a lot of people still remembering the Larry Nassar thing, and the Pitt really has to fit in maximum impact with details because they will never have a chance to devote more than a short convo onscreen to anyone’s personal life troubles. So it makes sense, even if Santos in cleats and sports bra feels more natural than Santos in a sparkly leotard
you're right, about all of this. honestly, the more i think about it, the more gymnast santos seems right for her character. i'm hoping we get to know more about her as a gymnast in the following season(s).
so, season two will be langdon's first day back from rehab, right?
i hope no one tells him about santos and whitaker. obviously when langdon comes back there's going to be some tension between him and her, like there was when he came back during the crisis.
so, whitaker's got constant one-sided beef with him in the first couple episodes. it's subtle enough that no one picks up on it, just hard stares across the room and terse words whenever it's just the two of them. and he's not even doing it for santos or anything—she would hate that—he just can't act like he doesn't see the way langdon behaves with her.
langdon's really confused. whitaker seemed like a nice kid when they met, so what gives?
then there's a scene where it's him, mel, and whitaker. mel asks whitaker what his plans are for after his shift and he offhandedly mentions movie night with a "trin" and eventually (an embarrassing amount of time, actually) langdon makes the connection and curses under his breath.

ali is a family friend. he's at the dawat. he comes in with a stack of pizza boxes for the kids. he's watching them play hide-and-seek in the house. he opens the door when one of them gets stuck in the pantry. he's smiling as he hands his son off to an auntie. she's gushing over how cute he is. he's at the masjid. you can see him in the corner, plain tasbih in hand. he stays for the khutbah. he talks to the other men outside, wishing them goodbye. he leaves a styrofoam plate filled with cat food out by the fence. he's at your house. he's in the doorway holding an aluminum tray of biryani. it's for iftar. he can't stay for long, he insists. really, he does. he's sorry. the food's from his wife. he warns that it's spicy. when you go to take a bite, it's still warm.

Karma Episode 5: Rewind
Absolutely obsessed with your santos and Whitaker headcanons please keep them coming! I’ve gone through all the fics on ao3 already lol
thank you! it's nearing the end of the school year for me, so unfortunately i'm too busy to make much fanfiction/art for them even though i dabble in both.
here's more headcanons, because i can't stop thinking about them:
santos has a major sweet tooth. once or twice a week, she buys herself an iced mocha and a slice of strawberry cake from this cafe that's en route to the hospital.
whitaker's bible has a small lamb embroidered onto the front. it's one of the two belongings he still has from nebraska. the other is a sweatshirt from the university he did his undergrad at.
she has to keep an eye on whitaker at all times when they visit the local asian market because he's too busy staring in awe to notice what's going on around him.
whitaker is very obsessed with banana sauce. he puts it on everything once he's tried it.
santos gave him buldak ramen without telling him how spicy it was once. it was funny for about a minute until she realized that this white boy really can't handle spicy food. he tries eating the whole thing because wasting food makes him feel guilty. santos stops him after 3-4 bites because this looks like actual, physical torture for the guy. she still makes fun of him after, of course. while handing him the whole milk jug.
santos gets way too into his stories about animal slaughter. one time he had to leave in the middle of talking about how he dissected a rat when he was first curious about studying medicine and the first thing she did when she saw him again was demand to hear the rest.
