#knoxthoughts

like Elias said in his Rorke File, Logan was like an extension of Hesh, always looking up to him, wanting to be him, always with him (we know the “1 set of footprints” story). but when they joined the Ghosts, Logan finally decided to be his own self meaning he spent more time alone

Hesh noticed his brother finally being his own person and he was not a fan of it at first

They do EVERYTHING together like when one would shit/take a shower the other would be in there just for “company” (typical sibling stuff)

Logan’s marksmanship is slightly better than Hesh’s.

But Hesh’s hand-to-hand combat is way better than Logan’s.

Hesh used to get into fights a lot as a kid, mostly to protect Logan

While Hesh is technically Riley’s handler, the dog favors Logan more (they even sleep together)

The boys initially wanted to be Navy (future SEALs) but bc Elias was army they also had to be army

Logan is a great fuckin swimmer, like im talking a living torpedo headass

Elias would talk about the Ghosts but disguised as fairytale bedtime stories he would tell the boys

Their telepathic bond is otherworldly, like CRAZY. words cannot explain

Both brothers SUCK at asking for help/letting other people help them ESPECIALLY with injuries so they are always stitching each other up in their rooms

Logan talks with his eyes, to which Hesh knows every look. so while the other Ghosts think logan is looking normal, hesh is like “oh hell no he’s going to go on a murder spree”

Logan is the scarier sibling bc he glares, is silent, and has a menacing ass aura

Hesh is always >:)

Until Logan is captured , then hesh is a shell of himself. always barking at somebody. his fuse is even shorter and with no general care for his well being (keegan now looks after him but he’s always like 👀)

Logan keeps a memory box so after Logan gets captured goes through it every night, missing his brother

we all know the boys grew up in san diego and they simply, are the typical socal type.

every moment the boys weren’t in the woods or involved with Elias, they were at the beach.

they rode their bmxs everywhere. LIKE EVERYWHERE.

they would have little competitions to who can hit the best jump/trick and the loser bad to buy the winner an arizona from the local liquor store

they would drink SoBes: hesh’s fav was the piña colada and logan’s was the strawberry banana

in n out was and is always their comfort food

their family “trips” would be to in n out in the truck and they would all eat in the bed (extra points if its during sunset)

hesh got really into sublime and elias feared he was gonna start smoking weed

logan took the linkin park route n elias feared the kid was going true an existential crisis (he was like 13)

keegan calls logan “cali” when he wants to be a smartass n when hes not calling him “kid”

they were padres fans growing up but elias had a soft sport for the giants (norcal n socal UNITE)

they were never the surfing type but they were the “rush the waves n try to drown each other” type (sibling shit as per usual)

the boys never grew up normally bc they were military brats. so they spent a lot of time on the bases in sd for ghosts business but elias told them it was to finalize his retirement papers

growing up in san diego made the boys want to be navy but elias never really gave them the choice of choosing another branch. so when odin hit, there REALLY was no choice

every time the boys had to go back to no mans land it pained them bc that was HOME

they dont like fish. for how many fish taco places are in sd. they HATE fish

even tho their dad had always owned fords the boys realllyyyyy wanted a tacoma or a 4runner (yota for life dawg)

they werent surf kids. never had a knack for it. BUT they were skim board kids. and they liked bikes

hesh loves to bring up childhood memories.

but elias did the most. he would always tell the other ghosts about “his boys” and the shit they got into.

when the other started to get more comfortable with the walkers, they would recite the stories elias once told ‘em

mrs walker would always SMOTHER them in sunscreen before they went out, especially when going to the beach

torch was navy. grim was a marine

torch got his call sign when he was a young LT and crashed too hard on a landing, his landing gear burst into flames (he's a pilot)

grim was just a ghostly lookin mf. that and his recruit class thought it was fitting since his name was straight outta gothic literature. (like bruh. RIDDIAN. POE??) but what got him GRIM was the scythe tattoo on his pec

torch was the same age as merrick. grim was younger but still older than ajax

their personalities were the complete opposite of their callsigns; torch was quiet and reserved, extremely off-putting while grim was more social and didn't shut up

grim gave the vibes of that one uncle who pays you 20bucks to say the f word in front of your dad

it was common amongst the ghosts that grim and kick would be leading the daily "bullshit" rants

grim was MARSOC before viper. torch was a SEAL pilot

grim got along best with ajax and keegan bc the marines STICK TOGETHER. OORAH. but he always made it his mission to annoy the absolute FUCK out of the neptune and torch (who were the brooding pilots)

torch and merrick actually got along the best. being SEALs n all

grim was corpsmen certified while torch ACTUALLY WAS a corpsman

torch had so many qualifications under his belt the rest of the ghosts wondered how tf he did it

torch was actually their exfil and chopper guy. his plane was shot down when he tried to reach ajax (the mission that got ajax captured)

grim was doing recon in fed territory but rorke had already had a hit on him so.. yeah. (lets just say grim got the worst treatment)

(yk when ajax got fucked up for flipping off the fed soldiers? well that was also grim but 10x worse)

• was the second oldest of the marines (rorke being the 1st) but he never acted as such

•his personality was the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of his callsign

• despite being a marine in sand viper, he wasnt in keegan/ajax’s team nor rorke’s. he was apart of another team where he was the last one standing

•during SV, torch acted as the field medic, so after the fighting was done he cleaned up the men. when he was cleaning a knife wound in riddian’s shoulder, he saw the scythe tattoo on the other’s pec and told him “the grim reaper wasn’t ready for you yet”

•it was the first time somebody made Grim feel human since the fighting and that birthed his “obsession” with torch

• his father was a english professor at the University of Washington (PNW fuck), hence being birthed with a name like Riddian Poe

• his father was all he had, supported him going the USMC, and going thru MARSOC and everything that he did. but his father died in the odin attacks

•grim was a tortured little soul but he never let it be shown.

• was always placing bets with kick and ajax. let it be known the ghosts had a gambling problem and it was all due to them

•he was a tall fucker but always made himself smaller by slouching, bending his knees, sitting on desks and chairs, crouching or just refusing to stand up straight.

•that and torch was SLIGHTLY taller than him.. which he liked.

•always the one to be fucking around. but always the one the flip the switch the fastest. when it was needed Grim got right to business with no room for bs. it made the ghosts respect him highly

•had a half mask like merrick/keegan but he never painted his eyes like keegan. so when he was looking at the boys he was LOOKING at them.

•had a staring problem. always making eye contact and it was the eye contact that made the boys’ skin crawl

•wasnt good at recovering after a mission. he’d run himself ragged bc he could never fight the feeling of death. even if it was committed by his hands

•grim got underneath people’s skin RELENTLESSLY as it was the death of him. he didn’t have to die as painfully as he did but he would rather go out with the pride that he irritated Rorke so much than die for the hell of it

•the very first to know rorke was alive and a fed. it broke him, but it made him run his mouth in anger.

•he did all the Ghosts reports and paperwork bc he loved it. he would sit in the hangar writing while torch worked on whatever (reminded him when he used to help grade his dad’s papers)

•always cold. like middle of the dessert and his hands would be icicles, so for that sake, he wore and was often the most layered of the ghosts

•he babied kick. bc kick had a personality like his and they got along easy. kick was the thorn in merrick’s side just as grim was the thorn in torch’s side.

•grim called torch by his first name. chris this. chris that. they never used their callsigns. even on mission.

•a raccoon man. he fed the strays on base and always joked about obtaining a raccoon army
