compilation of my sysmfy hc sillies from Twitter..
I had a thought, i really like the concepts and i was like, wait what if, and stay with me on this, what if the concept were premature versions of them, basically underdeveloped emotions. I imagine an emotion forms when riley feels something entirely knew for once and i imagine some of them don’t form correctly. These 4 came in early and weren’t fully developed so they couldn’t help pilot riley just yet. When puberty struck, that was when they finished developing, also how they knew they were ready to go up to headquarters. A silly hc of mine.
[gently slides this ask into your inbox] may i have 1 margarita. or perhaps 1 nemesis. th choice is yours. 🐌
a choice? when have I ever made one of those…okay now this is epic
Parents: What do you want for your birthday?
Me, out loud: Honestly, I dunno. There's not much I want right now. I can go look at stuff online?
Me, internally: Parsee Mizuhashi to be happy. I want Parsee Mizuhashi to be happy. Please let her be happy she doesn't deserve this I want her to be happy just let her be happy ju--
past!Mithrun wishing to be safe somewhere with no enemies that would harm him, and current!Mithrun doing risky things bc his sense of self-preservation is lost, is making me feel a certain way
i actually think there's some significance in the fact that mithrun wears oversized shirt with open collar (it most likely belongs to laios) in the final arc of the manga. i mean, not just that kui simply wanted to draw him in oversized clothes, lol.
in all instances we see young (pre-dungeon) mithrun he's wearing clothes that hide his body as much as possible. which seems normal, until you see what other elves prefer to wear: most of them wear light short tunics with no sleeves and they don't usually even wear pants. here's a comparison to his brother's outfit, for example, as they stand next to each other.
it's not like his fashion choices are unique, but it certainly feels deliberate. he doesn't add any variation to his canary's uniform either, but that's not especially notable, i guess, because a lot of canaries don't do that (i mean, it's still their armor).
but in his perfect world he's also one of the few who always wears this type of clothes. never revealing himself. sitting a little further from everyone else.
he even lies in his bed fully clothed, like he can't ever bring himself to let his guard down, never showing his "true" skin to anyone.
btw notice that his bed is a single bed, even though he's been living with his partner for 5 years at that point.
and that's the idea, isn't it? he never lets himself be truly vulnerable with anyone, even in his dungeon, where people are supposed to like him unconditionally. i think it adds something to the horrible scene with the demon: it's especially disturbing that the demon literally doesn't care how much of yourself you wanna hide, it sees (and eats) right through every protective layer. and we all know what the allegory of this scene is.
when mithrun loses all his desires, he no longer cares what clothes he wears. and in some twisted metaphorical sense it's heartbreaking to see him in a simple elven tunic when he's recovering, the one that doesn't hide any of his injuries or scars or terrible physique.
he doesn't care to hide himself anymore, but it isn't on his own volition. it's something that was ripped away from him, as well as his privacy (a lot of people have to go through this when they're in medical care actually).
when he recovers and enlists to canaries again, he starts to wear full uniform again, but i don't think it holds much significance to him anymore. or at least he thinks it doesn't. we can see that cithis forces him to wear frilly dress at some point and it's implied that he goes along with it (cithis is still an asshole for that btw).
at this point he's fully focused on finding the demon, but i think the sad reality is that he's always been capable of developing new desires. i'd argue that there are already some things he cares about without realizing it, in the main story. but what's stopping him from actually realizing it at that point is that he's clinically depressed. his disability makes his life difficult; he lives with the idea that he's completely "broken", he accepted the reality of living like that and always goes along with what others make him do. so, he doesn't believe in his own privacy anymore. it’s actually something kabru talks about in the adventurer’s bible comic, when he tries to help mithrun to figure it out again, to help him see the value of privacy, of choosing what he wanna reveal of himself. mithrun needed a reminder that he still has this choice like anybody else.
i think the scene where kabru asks him about his past for the first time is interesting in that sense. first of all, i like the symbolism of kabru unbuttoning mithrun’s collar and cuffs, revealing the scars underneath (a good amount of them is self-inflicted). he does so unthinkingly, but in his defence he doesn't know anything about mithrun yet. another interesting thing is that the first reaction mithrun has is covering his eyes with his hands. he's trying to hide. he supposedly has no desire to hide, but this reaction is almost instinctual to him. i think kabru notices this as well (of course he does) and i think it's one of the things that prompts him to voice his concerns about mithrun's privacy later.
so, what about that laios' shirt he wears in the final arc of the comic? he has to change his uniform's shirt for something else because it's covered in spider's guts. it's unclear if someone puts laios' shirt on him or if it's something he chooses to wear himself. regardless, it's still symbolic for his change. it's not particularly revealing or anything, but it's different from the type of clothes he usually wears, and it's tallman clothes. and in this final arc we can see a lot of his true feelings as well. he's visibly mad at kabru, he shows concern and tries to help marcille, he helps kabru to break out of his spiral. and obviously, in chapter 94 he reveals a lot of what he actually feels and think and shows genuine emotions other than anger. and I think it’s the first time he decided to be open and vulnerable on his own volition, probably in his entire life.
we can see him wearing variety of clothes post-canon and it’s ambiguous how much of it he picked for himself. pattadol probably helps him a lot with choosing outfits and she also prefers high collars. but mithrun knows he can choose now; even if he doesn’t want anything in particular, he always can express his opinion or feeling, like he did with kabru’s food. he always can choose how much he wants to be seen. i’m just glad to see him wearing similar shirt with open collar and rolled-up sleeves on the cover of daydream hour book.

One of my main problems with Honey I'm Home and its lore is: We get these gorgeous designs, many of them diverse and interesting and fun to look at... and then they get sidelined by both fans and Ghost themself for yet another edgy white boy. I'm not saying that any of Ghost's stories are bad just because they have white protagonists, but it just seems so frequent that they direct the most attention to their white characters and make them either protagonists or the 'Cool Bad Guys'- (1/2)
That’s an interesting take, anon! I hate HIH for different reasons than yours, but hearing your perspective on it was definitely something I hadn’t considered about the lore and characters
And yeah I’m with you on the whole diversity thing. It’s like, take a look at all of GHOST’s characters pre-HIH:
(And this isn’t even counting the mascots for their other songs)
Then there’s the Honey I’m Home cast:
And boy, now you’ve got me wondering how many fans of HIH saw this cast of characters and thought, “Wow! A lot of POC characters in one of GHOST’s new stories, finally!” only for literally most of the attention to be drawn to Norman and Charon
Just... wow. That’s gotta suck. I’m sorry to hear that you feel left out because of that, anon.
master of the heavenly yard deleted scene
i'm not great at drawing, i hope none of you mind much. i just thought it would be cute.
To the hcs!
AHEM
Very photosensitive, so going outside is blinding, even with sunglasses... yikes.
Wait what why??? Nobody let him go outside his parents thought he'd scare people
That twisty straw spine is not something he was born with and I know that, but also I'm mentioning why it's there later
Not just his waist it twisted, it applies to his wrists and upper thighs lol
He absolutely despises any use or mention of knives and dagger, also other things similar, so he cant even manage to pick one up or else he'd probably have a fucking panic attack
He has scars on his body like everywhere, most prominently on his back, waist, neck, legs, and wrists (NOT FROM SH!)
Spiders are basically the bane of his existence, despite the fact his monster form kinda looks like one.
One more thing he really, really hates is anything perfect. He finds it hard to look at, like if he saw something that looked perfect in any way, shape or form, he'd die right then and there because he dislikes it that much (he doesn't ACTUALLY die guys dw)
He lived most of his life in isolation since he wasn't allowed to go outside, so he seeks affection constantly
That makes him really love getting hugs and all that from Kennith :)
He can't eat. At all. If he does he passes out. This doesn't apply to just his hcs, but any character who's a ghost.
Christopher can still drink stuff though. But he has no need to, so he normally doesn't.
He somewhat enjoys abstract art, and even makes paintings occasionally, but he never lets anyone look at them. Like literally nobody, unless he's prous of it.
Weirdly, he never uses red for any art form.
Oh, even though I've mentioned he's made jewelry before, Kennith taught Chris how to make kandi bracelets and Christopher LOVES THEM SM!!!
Since YOHIO, the voice provider of YOHIOloid is Swedish, Christopher is... ehehehhe please dont come for me
Well. Thats it! Some silly chris hcs, see ya :))
