2022 ghost/2009 soap but it's that one scene from cpt 'merica

[sudsandspectre]

Okay hear me out… Keegan being so young at the time Sand Viper happened is actually because he was present in the hospital at the time and got trapped by the battle. The proto Ghosts were getting a lil desperate for help so when he (& others!) volunteered to help they accepted it, scrounging gear from dead soldiers and giving crash courses on how to use different weapons properly. And then they just kept him forever.

Keegan could have a million reasons for being at the hospital too. Maybe he was a patient, or visiting someone, or hell he could have just been delivering mail at the wrong time. He just got trapped and decided to fight.

I think doing that little trope of “Going to teach this “newbie” the basics but they surprise everyone by already knowing.” could be fun too. Like Rorke attempts to show him how to put on a vest but Keegans already strapped in. Tries to show him how to change mags and Keegan zips through it. At that point Rorke would just delegate him to teaching others I think. He just goes “Ah hell, we really need all the help we can get.”

Blah blah blah ghost loosing his shit and slowly letting guilt consume him because his call caused soap to get injured meanwhile soap is doing wheelies in the background in his wheelchair

To me Walruss pre pit is like... Logan's really got a crush on Keegan and Keegan is highkey baffled but very flattered at the same time. And they're really sweet to each other navigating the start of all that junk while also being lk a forbidden love trope just because... they're on the same team and dating. That's a no no.

Then post pit it's Logan scrambling around being feral while Keegan tries to hose the gore off of him and yk Keegan's mad Logan keeps 1) Running away from the hose and 2) Actively making the mess worse by committing more horrors, but that's somehow not a deal breaker for Keegan. He just goes "Rotten work, it's mine, GET OVER HERE!" and on Logan's ends this is all foreplay. He does that shit for other reasons but he also really likes that Keegan's running after him with a hose. They also find each other insufferable in a very endeering way.

That idea I had where Logan fakes being Fed post pit is actually devious because NOOOO he would be so scared and paranoid wondering if they were onto him and if they’d put him back like??? My little blorbo nooooo oh nooooo

Oh but the angst…. The delicious angst…. He’s doing it all to protect himself because he just wants to go home so bad but also believes that he won’t be able to if/once the Ghosts find out because they (Hesh specifically) won’t want him anymore… trapped in a loop.

brainwashed and traumatised by federation logan is good, but traumatised but not brainwashed by federation logan is much better.

it's not that hard for him to imitate undying loyalty to federation: just do what asked and don't ask in return. second is easiest part because he basically never speaks. plus his 'patron' rorke doesn't know him personally that much even after the pit so his playing is just be here. federation's higher ranks are cautious about logan so his first three months in regiment are filled with simple short operations on outskirts of caracas. sometimes it's brats from narcos sometimes it's rebels – nothing too fancy. rorke is seething over lack of action but he'll manage.

at least logan has time to make a solid plan. he knows hesh is searching for him so logan just needs to make it easy for him and create an opportunity. until then he will wait.

I adore your ghost so much. He’s just a dorky guy whose had a bad time and is a little weird but is loved so much

Thats how I like him

Think I’ve talked about this before but I still really like the idea of Elias’s whole “Enlist motherfucker.” shit (on top of the constant training he runs the boys through) being attributed to his (widely unaddressed) ptsd.

Like listen hear me out it makes sense… you know what saved him in Sand Viper, and then every suicidal operation thereafter? His teammates, his training. Ergo, he thinks that is what will always save him. (Subtly, subconsciously.) Ergo to keep his sons safe (alive) they need the same things. So, he makes them a team. He trains them to be prepared for most every scenario. He makes sure, in a kinda weird way, that his son’s lives and safety are ensured.

(And then all of that doesn’t work in the end, does it?)

(Except I like to think it will.)

Logan knew he did something wrong when he shot the deer.

It was his first. Not his first time shooting a gun mind you, he even had his own rifle at that point, but it was his first time killing something. Dad had been there to supervise him... and to tell him when to shoot. Just like he'd done with David the season prior.

Logan later learned most kids struggle killing their first prey animal. They get scared, procrastinate, even cry... Logan had not done any stalling. When Dad said "This is your shot." he shot. The deer stopped living. Then he turned to his father for approval and instead found him staring back with... surprise.

Dad had been quick to "fix his face" when Logan looked at him then. Schooling himself into neutrality and then praise, but Logan understands his initial reaction... it probably gave the wrong impression when his youngest son blithely followed the command to fire.

Of course it definitely did say something about Logan's psychology, but he doesn't think Dad got the right angle. Logan's logic had been this; "David did this already." And that thought had eliminated any hesitation before it bloomed. It had not been cold indifference that laid on the trigger. Logan very much understood the importance of the deer's life and weighed the worth of it's end... it's just that where David had tread Logan found a path easy to follow.

Logan was just glad Dad wasn't there to judge when he killed his first man.

--<x>--

This feels unfinished but like I've been sitting on this sort of idea for a while. I read somewhere a while ago smthn like "The hardest thing about teaching your child to hunt is getting them to end their first kill" and I had the idea that Logan would just.... not struggle because "Oh well David did this already, nbd." Speaks to their whole codependency yk? They cannot detangle themselves from another; When one of them does something they both take responsibility.

In my mind Elias kinda shuffles the detail of "My son didn't hesitate killing something the first time." away and just goes "Yeah he got a ten pointer!!!!" instead of realizing the psychological ramifications of his whole..... method? Raising the boys.

Also giving Logan some level of self awareness is gonna be one of my "things" from now on I think. Mostly because I can go "Just like me fr fr." but also because I think it'd be funny if he went "Yeah this ain't normal. I don't care tho. It works for me so whatever."
