#I hate very few people

[phantomarine]

Of all the social media platforms I could’ve grown best on, I’m sad it was Twitter.

Not that any of the others don’t come with caveats, but Twitter’s downfall is a bespoke kind of stupid.

I’m so sad. What a colossal disaster.

thinking about the way ghost doesn't hesitate to start killing shadows when graves betrays them but soap only takes one hostage

you can almost hear the voice in his head telling him it doesn't have to be this way; they can still talk it out

"i'm calling shepherd"

his first instinct when confronted with betrayal is to play it by the books: to go up the chain. that goes against everything we've seen him do. he bucks authority at every chance except for the one time he's confronted with the barrels of his allies' guns

he wants a peaceful resolution; for the first time we've ever seen, he doesn't want violence to be the answer. there has to be another fix, a solution that doesn't end with him killing the same men he's been working with; his friends

nothing's happened yet

it doesn't have to go this way

but ghost has been betrayed before. he knows the way this ends; either with him six feet under or his enemy

he doesn't hesitate

it's only when they knock alejandro out that soap shoots; when they spill the first blood and cross a line they can never come back from

only when ghost orders him to run and he has to cover his retreat

and somewhere along the line, between civilians’ screams and taunting voices, between his shaking breath and ghost steady in his ear, that naivety is stripped away; his trust turned to teeth that he uses to sink into throats of men he'd have given his life for

"be careful who you trust, sergeant; people you know can hurt you the most"

he's learned the price of trust

just like ghost did

but unlike ghost, he has someone to guide him through the aftermath

"good advice, It"

What if I made FOP ocs what then. Meet Wolf, the most well meaning Anti-Fairy you will ever meet and Flowers, its violently playful fairy counterpart who had to be banished from Fairyworld for repeatedly almost killing people :3

Classic nechoi spear-hunting scene.

One of the few activities Hibrides and Janeys do alone together entirely of their own free will is hunting.

Hunting is a common pastime of nobility, most significantly in the form of extravagant multi-day social events (of which the hunt itself is only a partial component) carried out by men and dozens of dogs and attended by their wives, children, servants, as well as musicians and cooks. These hunts have functions in social networking and political maneuvering, showing off wives and dogs and khait and wealth, forging ties, maintaining allyships, and slighting rivals (particularly in the division and distribution of any captured game).

Janeys periodically attends these hunts when invited (it's rude to decline) and Hibrides is obligated to come along, and both are rather private people and not particularly fond of these high pressure, highly performative events in the public eye. Janeys DOES like hunting in of itself and frequently goes out by himself, and Hibrides often comes with him. Bringing her along started as a way to make going out alone look more normal (ie 'you bring your wife along on hunts that's what you do I'm not just going out by myself because I'm intimidated by other people this is a normal activity'), but it’s not really about that at this point.

Hibrides likes being able to get outside far away from her day to day life, being both away from the home and away from other people. Janeys just doesn't like being around most people but hates being alone. There's also a level of catharsis for both of them in doing an activity that would normally require tremendous amounts of social performance on their part, but instead being able to be completely straightforward and real with everything: their marriage is bullshit, they don't like each other at all, and they DO both like the killing of mid-sized animals with spears. In this specific situation, both of them kind of Do enjoy each other's company (in a sort of complicated way).

(Hibrides is also fairly certain that at some point Janeys is going to get maimed or killed while trying to take down boar nechoi alone, and would love to be there to see it.)

soap's whole deal being sniper and demolitions gets me going bc on the surface they sound so different but when you get into it, you realise it's bc soap's smart

sniping is all math; calculating distances and wind interference and bullet drop. something i think people overlook is he was listed as a sniper first so it can be implied that he's better at it than demolitions. he does more sniping in both campaigns than demolitions work; in capture or kill, ghost specifically calls on him to take down the aq snipers

and demolitions is math with a hit of chemistry; knowing what mixes with what, knowing how much to use, recognising environmental factors and adjusting accordingly. it's not just about the boom; so much work goes into contained/ planned explosions. especially when having enough power for a breacher charge and not bringing down the whole building is the difference between mission success and failure

the chemical bombs he makes in alone can't just be any old cleaners, they have to have the correct reaction to each other; he just knew off the top of his head what would mix with what to create what reaction. he would also potentially have to recognise them by sight/smell bc they would’ve been written in spanish

soap would also have to know architecture; recognising structural integrity and weak points so he knows exactly where to plant a charge to bring it down and how it'll come down

he has an incredible soldier's mind people just forget that bc he's sociable which itself is a skill

we know he tends to buck against orders he doesn't agree with like when he pushes back against ghost in capture or kill and shepherd when he tells them to release hassan

he gets closer to people and sees if he can trust them and that's when he follows them without question. really think about how he talks to alejandro and rudy; he asks about their home and alejandro's family and rudy's relationship with him. those aren't questions you ask a stranger after a few hours of knowing them. that's not even touching on his relationship with ghost

he also deliberately brings people of higher ranks down to his level; talking informally with ghost and giving him a shoulder punch, addressing alejandro (a colonel!!) by his first name and rudy by his nickname despite literally just meeting them. he personalises all of them and it’s in direct opposition to the reason most characters do that; it’s not due to insubordination or lack of respect, the more he respects and trusts someone, the more casual he is with them

he digs into people; he wants to know what makes them tick and that determines if he can one, trust them and two, follow their orders. once he decides that, he's the ultimate soldier; he bleeds loyalty which makes him vicious when that loyalty is taken for granted

he isn't naive or bubbly or insecure; he's an incredibly smart and aware soldier. he's aggressive and bloodthirsty and loyal and intuitive and i love him so much

Who do you think has the highest twst equivalent of doulingo streak?

It started as a joke between Gloomurai and MuscleRed to compare their duolingo streaks and see who can get a higher score.

Riddle found it intriguing and dabbled for quite a while before it got a bit stale to him. There's better ways to learn language in his eyes.

Cater doesn't do it but he makes the Spanish or Vanish memes

No one expected Malleus to even be able to use a phone well enough for him to be on his day 1087 streak. It is the only way he knows how to use it. The little owl is like his Gao Gao Dragon and needs daily enrichment! Doesn't see what all the fuss about the owl being a menace. Clearly you haven't been taking good care of Duo.

However none of them compare to Yuu, who's painstakingly taking notes as they're learning two languages at once from the app since their own language doesn't exist in TWST. Almost a year here and they still don't know honorifics but they do know how to ask if someones boyfriend is a horse with various slurs picked up by students.

teen wolf meme: [1/4] families -> the argents

Our family has a surprisingly progressive tradition. Knowing wars and violence are typically started by men, we place the final decisions - the hard ones - with the women. Our sons are trained to be soldiers. Our daughters... to be leaders.

As disappointing as it is, this isn’t the first time a remarkably bland straight ship has been made canon so shippers will continue to do what they always have and ship anyway.

Though I will say I do wish Ururaka hadn’t ended up with Izuku. I think it wouldn’t been really nice to subvert the classic trope and have her truly move on from feelings she had as a teenager, especially since so much of her character is becoming her own person and hero seperate to her feelings for Izuku. I would have loved if she hadn’t ended up with a man (especially with that man being Izuku) but because she is written by one, maybe I should have guessed this would happen.

The dudebros have already become annoying under bkdk and tgchk posts which is a shame but hopefully they’ll quiet down soon rather than becoming jjk fandom 2.0
